It's the first time I've seen such a brazen person...... It's just that this brazen person is still born so clean and dusty, or an old man, I am boasting to others outside, Dao is a closed disciple who is outstanding until hundreds of years!

Ge Yong responded to the stares from all directions with blazing eyes, and secretly thought that when Zhang Shou came over last night, he told him with sincerity that the emperor had summoned him and the four "guests" to participate in the scripture feast, and he planned to take advantage of this for the purpose of arithmetic Zhang.

He was still thinking about what kind of open-eye method this was, but now he can understand that Lu Sanlang's move is much simpler, more direct and rude than a simple enrollment in Jiuzhangtang, and what is summoning the world's astronomical and mathematical talents to rebuild the calendar! So, while everyone was looking at him, he nodded unhurriedly.

"What the nine chapters and Gao Yuan's teachers and students said is extremely true. If you can set up a scripture calculation hall in the world, and some people are worried that the national treasury or the local government treasury will not be able to make ends meet, then the old bone of the minister is also willing to donate generously! ”

If at first, the Confucian scholar planned to judge the situation and make calculations, but now, he has no way to make calculations. If we don't stop it, will the three generations of teachers and students say that they will follow the system of government and county schools and open arithmetic all over the world? Even if it's not so exaggerated, it would be hard to say that there is another arithmetic subject in the county school and the government school!

He didn't care that this was a scripture feast today, so he immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "The emperor opened the ban on arithmetic before and reopened the Jiuzhang Hall, which is to reaffirm the will of Emperor Taizu, so the ministers did not object, but the sutra hall was opened to various places, so that people all over the world could contact it at will, and this minister did not dare to agree!" ”

"Astronomy is not separated, if someone uses arithmetic to make false predictions, won't it confuse people's minds at that time!"

Astronomy is not separated...... Hehe, in the future generations, let alone not separating families, even mathematicians, specialization fields are also different, the subject is so detailed, any mathematician with different specializations dare not say that the whole field is dominant. That is, these politicians who have a full score in the liberal arts and a negative score in the sciences are ignorant enough to comment on unknown science, because they don't think it's a joke at all!

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but his response was not slow at all. He smiled and said indifferently: "According to what Confucius University said, astronomy is not divided into families, and those who have learned arithmetic are naturally proficient in astronomy, so they should go to Qin Tianjian or other places under your noses, otherwise, I am afraid that they will casually fabricate the art of prophecy and weft, and then disturb people's hearts?" ”

"But, as far as I know, there seems to be no one who is proficient in arithmetic who has attached himself to some rebellious and thief, right?"

"You know what!" In this regard, the Confucian scholar naturally has the qualifications to condescend and look down on Zhang Shou. After he reprimanded him angrily, he said in a deep voice, "If those who are ambitious can clearly know when there will be a broom star skimming the sky, when there will be a tengu eclipse of the sun, and when there will be a movement of the earth, so as to stir up wind and waves, then the world will not be in chaos!" ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, but his voice softened a little, but the sharpness and coldness in those words did not decrease but increased.

"It doesn't matter if Dr. Zhang thinks that someone has learned arithmetic and knows how to calculate these things, or he thinks that whether it is the so-called broom star, the tengu eating the sun, or even the earth shaking the mountains, it is not a celestial public alarm, and it is necessary for politicians to introspect themselves, but just an ordinary phenomenon...... So, do you want the people of the world to lose their reverence for the Son of Heaven and the way of heaven? ”

Zhang Shou didn't need to look at it to know what kind of expressions the courtiers were at this moment.

Since Dong Zhongshu said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the celestial and human induction to the altar, the rulers of all dynasties naturally never denied this doctrine because they wanted to maintain their own supremacy. Even if the celestial and human senses still have another intention of using disasters to limit the monarch's power, but later it completely changed its taste, and there are disasters, the son of heaven is safe and Taishan, and the prime minister will take the blame first!

After Dong Zhongshu, the hundred schools of thought initially had a little resistance power, but since Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty summoned Confucians to Shiqu Pavilion in Chang'an, and then banned all the books of the hundred schools of thought, and enshrined Confucianism as an official study, the entire academic world has gradually become unified.

The indiscriminate prohibition of astronomy and the prohibition of two things together ensured that there were far more philosophers than scientists in all dynasties, and that the sacredness and mystery of the monarchy. As for saying that this kind of doctrine that has been passed down for more than a thousand years is high-pressure and ignorant, in fact, in the same era, looking at the universe, where is not ignorance? The Inquisition and indulgences in the west are not yet in vogue!

However, the long Middle Ages in the west are now almost over, capitalism is emerging, religion is being reformed, the Renaissance is opening, and science is about to overtake theology. And now, in this country known as the Celestial Empire, he is like a prime minister, and he is not the first person in the cabinet of the first assistant, Confucius scholar, but he is still beating him with the metaphor of promoting arithmetic and learning to shake the rule.

This kind of thinking is also normal, if the reader does not study the scriptures, history, rituals, and mathematics, but goes to study mathematics, all of them can calculate the sunrise and moon setting and the stars sink by themselves, and even further speculate and analyze various natural phenomena, who else will think that the Son of Heaven is supreme and sacrosanct?

Zhang Shou didn't look up to see what kind of expression the emperor was, and what kind of expression the third prince had, after all, even if the emperor was a maverick, even if the third prince was his student, but the emperor and the crown prince were creatures, and the ruling attribute was theoretically above all else, and he didn't expect the father and son to be as biased towards him as ever when Confucius mentioned such a sensitive topic.

And at this time, he didn't want Ge Yong and Lu Saburo to come forward to answer. When the Confucian scholar raised the topic to that terrible level, Ge Yong must have hesitated, and as for the little fat man, it was estimated that he was a little trembling.

He smiled to himself, but his heart was calm. The shackles of arithmetic have been around for a long time.

That is, a hundred years ago, the Emperor Taizu opened the hanging, and the time to conquer the world was shorter than that of Zhu Yuanzhang in history, and after ascending the throne, he forged ahead and enabled a group of relatively radical academically new talents, instead of using that group of conservatives, and once again tried to build Guozijian into a university with a hundred flowers. Even if he dies in the end, he at least leaves a few opportunities for future generations.

Otherwise, in this era when Baguwen is very popular, how could the current emperor think of reopening the Jiuzhang Hall?

In the quiet atmosphere around him, Zhang Shou said unhurriedly: "The words of the Confucius scholar seem to have returned to the sentence of the sage's words. In the end, it is 'the people who can make it and not the people who know it'; No, let it be known', or 'let the people make it; Thou shalt not make, but know'. ”

"I don't think the Confucian scholars should be so superficial that they think that the people of the world can't be educated, they can only be driven, right?"

Seeing that the Confucius scholar was suddenly furious, Zhang Shou knew that his sneaking concept must have made people angry, but he still continued to add fuel to the fire with a smile.

"In those small foreign countries in the west, there have been many famous mathematicians, that is, our arithmeticians. Although these foreign mathematicians could also understand the astronomical phenomena and the principles of all things through mathematics, they still believed in God with devotion and submitted to the monarch as they still did the common people. "Those early Western scientists were all devout believers!

As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "And in my Huaxia, the village husband and the village woman can blindly break the weft, and can reincarnate the foolish man and fool himself as a god, and bewitch people's hearts, what astronomical numbers do they know?" Since the common people don't understand the simplest astronomy and arithmetic at all, don't they let those gossip to confuse the public and slander people casually? And if the people are educated, can all kinds of cults still deceive people's minds? ”

Speaking of this like a cannon, Zhang Shou glanced around, and found that Zhu Ying was looking at him with a smile, there was no worry on his face, but when he agreed, he raised his eyebrows lightly at her, and smiled as if he was careless.

"But the Confucian scholars may not have thought of such a far-reaching thing, if they think that the ministers and teachers and Lu Gaoyuan are therefore popular and plotting against them, then, the ministers implore the emperor to allocate money from the inner treasury to build a scripture hall in the capital of the thirteen political secretaries in the world?"

"Then the edict told the world that there are students who have a talent for arithmetic and are interested in arithmetic, although the arithmetic scriptures explain the principles of the world, but the high-ranking officials in the court think that those who study arithmetic are more likely to be rebellious and more likely to be used by rebellious ministers and thieves, so the borrower must have a ...... of protection."

You're deliberately misinterpreting my words!

didn't wait to listen to Zhang Shou's unbelievable speech, and the Confucius scholar was finally completely angry. He just alluded to Zhang Shou's intention to use arithmetic to shake the imperial power, but Zhang Shou directly said that it was precisely because the people were ignorant that they were easily deceived by the heresy of those rebellious ministers and thieves, and then simply removed the previous statement that their teachers and students were funded by three generations, and advocated that the emperor should take out the money from the inner treasury and invest it himself!

Not to mention that he is a cabinet scholar, even if he is just an ordinary minister, he will definitely try his best to dissuade him at this time! Dong Zhongshu's celestial and human induction certainly added the legal rationality of the emperor's rule, but he also used doctrines such as disaster warnings to try to put shackles on the imperial power.

Since ancient times, the monarch and the prime minister, or the Son of Heaven and the court officials, have always been competing with each other. Those who are completely on the side of the Son of Heaven are echo worms and lackeys, such as Wu Gelao, even if he is old in the cabinet, he is still looked down upon. Truly aspiring ministers will definitely limit and suppress the imperial power openly and covertly, and strive to let the Son of Heaven rule and let them govern.

Therefore, even if he had fought with Jiang Ge Lao in full swing and looked like a new party leader, once Jiang Ge Lao was squeezed out, he immediately became cautious. Because he can't let the Son of Heaven do it according to his temperament, because if there is an unconventional thing that passes, then there will be a second, a third, or even more!

Like Jiang Ge Lao, he wanted to limit the emperor's willfulness and impulsiveness, so that the emperor's decision-making would all fall within a reasonable range! At least, directly pay money from the inner treasury to build a scripture reckoning hall in the local area, and this kind of thing of putting gold on the emperor's face can no longer be done!

It's enough to have a public school...... That time, he was careless and couldn't stop it, and Zhang Shou not only got funding from many nobles through Zhu Ying, but also from the Queen Mother. But this time, he must not allow Zhang Shou to go sideways again!

The emperor saw that Confucius immediately ridiculed each other, and Zhang Shou just went straight to the top of the head, Lu Sanlang looked stunned and surprised, Ge Yong was frowning and thinking about something, and he couldn't help but smile when he finally came back to it.

Turning his head sideways, he saw the four princes on the side with full of interest, as if he wanted to go down to the polemic in person, while the third prince frowned, and his face was obviously a little confused, so he dragged the two brothers who had grown up with him, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of the proposal of the three generations of their teachers and students, as well as the opposition of the Confucian scholars?" ”

The fourth prince didn't expect his father to ask him, so he was going to give a casual answer, but when he saw the third prince glaring at him, he swallowed it back when he reached the perfunctory edge of his mouth. After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he whispered uncertainly: "Confucius scholars are because there are more monks and fewer porridges, and they are worried that in the future, there will be more scholars in the court and the climate will become a faction of their own, so they will try their best to oppose it, right?" ”

The emperor thought that the four princes would accuse the Confucian scholars of being jealous and jealous, but he didn't expect the four princes to really say a reason, he suddenly glanced at this young son who had always been impulsive and thought of what to say, and then said with a smile: "Shibei three days, really impressive...... What about you? ”

The third prince saw that the fourth prince finally didn't fool around this time, and he was praised by his father, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. And when he heard his father ask him, he said calmly: "I also think the same as the fourth brother." ”

Seeing that this time it was the fourth prince glaring at him, he smiled shyly and said, "But I think that Confucius Scholar may not just be just for a rainy day. You know, even if this is done, it will be many years before those talents grow up. Besides, just copying the arithmetic scriptures and self-study, how many people can stand out? It's not a county school and a government school! ”

If it is rare for the fourth prince to be serious once, then the answer of the third prince made the emperor quite surprised.

made up his mind to canonize the third prince as the crown prince, but he made a decision after being completely disappointed in the eldest prince and the second prince's brothers, and weighing the age of himself and his remaining two sons, as well as the qualifications of the two sons.

Of course, he felt that the third prince had certain qualifications, but whether that qualification was Mingjun's qualifications or not, he himself could not be sure. Because, he himself is definitely not the kind of Ming Jun who humbly accepts advice and spits on himself as recorded in the green history! If the crazy Yushi dares to do this in front of him, he will definitely make people regret being born in this world!

At this moment, the emperor who was surprised and delighted immediately asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with this dispute?" You know, today is a feast, you can't let this big and small quarrel here endlessly, right? ”

Regarding such a problem from the emperor, the third prince only hesitated for a moment and then lowered his voice and said: "Erchen thinks that my father might as well agree to open a book library, but in order to persuade Confucius scholars, you can limit the types of scriptures, such as the teacher said that it is relatively simple and easy to understand, and the widely circulated "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", there should not be such a big controversy when you put it in. ”

"Besides...... the eyes of the third prince flickered, and then said calmly, "Ancestor Ge's "Ge's New Edition of Arithmetic" can actually be put in it. Anyway, this is a book that Senior Brother Lu has printed a lot of and sold everywhere, and I have learned it until now, I only think that this book is simple to understand, step by step, very easy to understand, and does not involve astronomical phenomena at all. ”

The four princes were simply shocked. Well understood? It's easy to understand! He asked the third brother's classmates, and the people who taught themselves "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" back then said that they were about to be driven crazy just by memorizing those symbols, let alone understanding! Third brother, are you the one who is everyone?
