"Mr. You'an, this "Zi On Gewu Chapter" is the treasure unearthed by Emperor Chengzong of the Northern Qing Dynasty when he robbed and excavated Konglin, all of which are bamboo slips from 2,000 years ago! The original is hidden in the Confucian Temple of the Old Mountain Palace..... When the time comes, you can visit the shrine. ”

Luo Dagong, the prefect of Songjiang and the ambassador of foreign trade and commerce, was in a Yangtze River passenger boat sailing against the current at this time, and he was very dutiful and a Confucian scholar in his forties who was wearing a white Taoist robe, wearing a square scarf, a Chinese character face, and a big beard, and looked very serious, was explaining the discovery of the "Zi Treatise on Gewu". This bearded Confucian is a remarkable figure, he is a Korean Confucian, named Song Shilie, Benguan Enjin, the word Yingfu, and the number Youan.

The reason why he is said to be a great Confucian is because he has also found a way to develop the science of science - the idea of science emphasizing "learning things and exhausting reason" has not only embarrassed generations of Chinese Confucian scholars, but also made Korean Confucian scholars very difficult.

On the one hand, the saints all said that they wanted to be ugly, but on the other hand, they couldn't make any ugliness, is it because everyone's brains are too stupid to follow the line pointed out by the sages?

And this North Korean Confucian Song Shilie doesn't think he's stupid, he's the champion of North Korea! Can a fool get into the top spot? Since the champion doesn't know how to learn things, it means that everyone's understanding of the knowledge of things is completely wrong.

Therefore, Song Daru thought about it and felt that the most important way to learn from things was to "keep the heart", rather than to exhaust the reason through practical affairs.

This path looks a bit similar to Daming's psychology, but it's actually completely different.

Song Daru only opposes the exhaustion of reason through the understanding of nature, and believes that the object should be kept in mind (this meaning is about to oppose empirical evidence, but to use the way of speculation to study things), not to say that "the heart is reason" or "to conscience" or anything. He didn't get rid of any of the rules and regulations of science. On the contrary, he intensified his advocacy of the theory of "preserving the principles of heaven and eliminating human desires", believing that human consciousness is the embodiment of "heavenly principles" and is very pure in itself, but after being restrained by the flesh, selfish desires occur, and the conscience becomes greatly damaged.

Therefore, in order to be reasonable, it is necessary to restrain selfish desires...... This set of theories was extremely beneficial to maintaining the feudal order in Korea, so it became the orthodoxy of Korean Confucianism in history, and Song Shiyeol was also revered as Song Zi!

In China at the same time, similar theories also became Confucian orthodoxy, so this Song Shilie's scholarship is definitely worthy of the word "Great Confucianism...... Until the "Sub-Treatise on Objects" was unearthed!

Because the method of Confucius's personality is coming, what "mind" and what "heart is reason" are all wrong!

Now there is a privately run "Gewu Academy" in Shanghai, which compiles the fine works in the "Taixue College Entrance Examination" into books, and "New Arithmetic", "Primary School French" or something together as textbooks!

What's more, some people took the books on Western Gewuxue that had just been translated by Tongwenguan and counted them together—I don't know if those teachers can understand it themselves? Anyway, just teach it casually, these things are too much to learn from the college entrance examination, so I'm not afraid that no one will spend money to learn!

Song Shilie, who has been in Shanghai for a while, of course, has also noticed that these things seem to be a lot of people's desires!

To be honest, Song Daru is full of knowledge, and he can definitely find the reason to refute the "Zi Treatise on Gewu" from the classics of the Confucian dynasties...... But the "son" in "Zi On Gewu" is Confucius!

These are all things that the son once said, how can you refute them? Confucianism counts him as the oldest! Who dares to refute it, isn't it to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?

Therefore, Song Shilie thought of verifying the authenticity of the bamboo slips in the "Zi On Gewu......

"What? Mr. Song wants to see the original copy of "The Treatise on Things" with his own eyes? "Dagong Luo was a little embarrassed, he wasn't afraid that Old Man Song would see the fake, because he didn't doubt it at all-most of the truths in the "Zi On Gewu Chapter" were true, how could the bamboo slips be fake?

Besides...... The emperor took it seriously, and Grand Duke Luo dared to say that it was fake? The imperial historians in the Metropolitan Procuratorate still have to die happily?

Luo Dagong is also the champion, not so stupid!

"This is a treasure of the country!" Luo Dagong said, "The lower officials can't speak...... If you really want to see it, you have to go and talk to the saint. ”

"Good!" Song Shilie stroked his beard, "When the old man sees His Majesty, he will propose it in person!" ”

......

"Song Shilie, do you North Korea really want to turn your back on the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty?"

The old mountain palace, the palace of diligence. Emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty had already met the envoy of the Korean State who had changed into an official uniform, and Song Shilie was sentenced by Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the whole country of Korea has always been oriented to the Ming Dynasty, and now the time is ripe, the soldiers and horses are ready, and the Tartars have also declined, the Kingdom only needs to help some guns, and we can expel the Tartars and become vassals of the Kingdom again!"

Song Shilie speaks fluent Chinese, his etiquette is impeccable, and his appearance as a virtuous minister is very convincing no matter how you look at it.

Of course, Zhu Cihong also believed in the loyalty of the Korean state, and he nodded approvingly: "I have heard of the loyalty of the Korean state to my Ming Dynasty, and I also know that you have no choice but to surrender...... I don't blame you for this, but my Ming Dynasty was too weak to protect the vassal kingdom. Now that you are willing to return, I am glad of course.

But the Tartars are very ferocious! North Korea will probably not win if it wants to fight the Tartars, even if I give you muskets and cannons, you will not be able to defeat Duoduo, so you have to fight with the Tartars! ”

Fighting wits? How do you fight? Song Daru looked at Emperor Zhu and waited for his "resourcefulness".

Emperor Zhu said: "I heard that North Korea is coming, but I have thought of a tired plan!" Now I'm telling you about it...... I think that instead of letting Korea fight with Dongyu, it is better for Dongyu to send troops to protect your Korea! ”

Song Daru is a little stupid, what does this mean?

"Your Majesty, you said that you would let the Dongyu protect us..... North Korea? ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "That's what I plan, I want to carry out a fake Japanese invasion, and use fake Japanese invaders to pretend to invade your Korean country. If you go to Duoduo for help and ask Duoduo to send troops to protect you, won't this contain the forces of the Eastern Prisoners? ”

This is the soldier who never tires of deceit! The Korean state is so weak, they want to openly fall to the Ming Dynasty, so how many soldiers does the Ming have to send to protect it? And the border between North Korea and Daqing is so long, it can't be prevented at all!

This, this...... And such a deceitful Tartar? Song Daru was taken aback, how could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be so cunning?

False Japanese invasion, Japanese invaders are fake, invasions are also fake...... Can this kind of thing be faked?

"Your Majesty, how many fake pirates are you going to send?" Song Daru frowned, "I sent less, I'm just afraid that Dongyu won't take it seriously, and I will send too much...... North Korean elementary school, I'm afraid I can't afford it! ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "No matter how many people are sent, Duoduo will not save you from North Korea...... That's why I'm going to send a fleet! A combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will occupy the islands in the south of your Korean kingdom and use them as a base to harass the ships of the Eastern and Spanish countries sailing off Vladivostok!

Now the East and Spain trade in Vladivostok, exchanging furs and pearls for guns. They were able to build new armies and be heavily armed with guns, all thanks to the fur and Dongzhu trade. As soon as the Vladivostok trade was threatened, the Eastern Capture would definitely send troops. ”

"This ......" The more Song Shilie thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, "The minister can't make the decision in this matter, and he must go back and ask the king of my country." ”

"Okay, good," Zhu Cihong nodded, "Go and ask for instructions!" ”

In fact, it is the same whether you ask for instructions or not, the old grandfather of the Ukita Hideya, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, can't wait to invade Korea, so what does it matter if the king of Korea agrees or not?

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request." Song Shilie has another request.

"Say it." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"Xiao Chen wants to see the original copy of the "Zi Treatise on Gewu" with his own eyes!"
