Chapter 354: The Dispute between Confucianism and Mo
got Wang Mozhi's consent, and the next dinner was completely based on drinking, and the wine was drunk again until the curfew was about to start, and everyone dispersed, and Zhang Nan also returned to his mansion.
As soon as he returned to the house, Zhang Nan saw Mo Zu sitting on a chair in his lobby drinking tea, and there was a steam car parked in the courtyard that had been improved.
As soon as Mo Zu saw Zhang Nan coming back, he immediately put down the teacup and went out.
"Qingquan, you made me wait for an old man." Mozu said.
Zhang Nan smiled, walked to the side of the steam car, patted the front of the steam car, made a clanging sound, and said, "It seems that Momen has solved the problem of steering and parking." ”
After hearing this, Mo Zu said with pride on his face: "That's natural, we Momen still have no problem with the study of Karakura. ”
Zhang Nan nodded after hearing this, and said: "It's good that there is no problem, tomorrow this steam car will be pulled to perform in front of the hundred officials, but nothing can go wrong, success or failure is in one fell swoop, and the future of Momen will be pressed on this car." ”
"By the way, what did the emperor say?" Mozu asked.
"Say what?" Zhang Nan looked strange.
"It's for us Momen."
"There is no problem with the emperor, the emperor is still happy to see Momen join the Ministry of Heavenly Work to contribute his own strength, but there is one person who is opposed." Zhang Nan slammed his mouth and said.
"Oh? Presumably a Confucian person. Mo Zu smiled and said.
Zhang Nan looked surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Mo Zu, how do you know?" ”
Mo Zu smiled and said, "This is normal, the dispute between Confucianism and Mo has started since the establishment of the doctrines of the two families. Confucianism has been squeezing out the Mohists in every way, and it is normal for them to stand up against us now. ”
It is also common for the doctrines of the two schools to clash with each other.
Mozi founded the Mohist school, and its main ideas were recorded in the book "Mozi", "Huainanzi Yaolu" said that the Mohist school "learned the business of Confucianism, by the art of Confucius, thought that it was bothered by its etiquette and did not say anything, buried rich and poor, and the literary service hurt life and harmed things, so it used Xia Zheng against the way". Explain the difference between Confucianism and Mohistism.
The chapter of "Mozi Gongmeng" criticizes Confucianism by name, "the four governments are enough to destroy the world".
First, Confucianism does not respect heaven and does not believe in ghosts, resulting in the wicked people in society having no sense of religious reverence, and the people have lost the weapon to criticize society. Second, heavy burials and long mournings not only delay production, but also waste money and time, and aggravate poverty. Third, the string song inspires and encourages the extravagant and corrupt life of the ruler. If you indulge in string singing and dancing, the wind of luxury will be more prosperous. Fourth, the "theory of fate" was propagated, so that the nobles and commoners were in their respective positions, and the people's fighting spirit of striving for progress and positivity was extinguished.
Confucianism was named and opposed by the Mohists, and it was also clearly stated in "Mencius Tengwen Gongxia" that Mozi and love were "fatherless", and Confucianism compared his thoughts to the idea of "chaotic ministers and thieves", believing that its harm to mankind was tantamount to "a flood of beasts".
The mutual confrontation between the two theories can be said to have never stopped.
Until the end, this doctrinal torn finally ended with the courtiers choosing Confucianism, because the doctrine of the Mohists was not loved by the courtiers, and even rejected the Mohists, the Mohists became more and more declining, and finally had to live in seclusion in the mountains, becoming a hermit, and could only rely on clever work to get by.
Now that the Mohists choose to re-enter the WTO in a different way, they will naturally encounter a strong backlash from Confucianism, and this result Mozu has already thought very clearly.
"Then tomorrow Mozu, you have to prepare well, although you are only engaged in technical work, not in the court, but if Confucianism deceives people too much, you can't just be silent." Zhang Nan reminded.
Zhang Nan thought very clearly, when Momen entered the Ministry of Heavenly Work, it was inevitable that he would gradually withdraw from the Ministry of Heavenly Work, and the Ministry of Heavenly Work would definitely be in charge of others in the future, as the backbone of the Ministry of Heavenly Work, the mainstay, Momen was very likely to take over the scientific research institute of Datang, so it was only a matter of time before Momen entered the court.
What Zhang Nan had to do was to reconcile the contradictions between Momen and Confucianism as much as possible within the limited time between his inauguration and the Ministry of Heavenly Work.
Now that the negotiations with Wang Mozhi's side have been settled, what Zhang Nan has to do is to talk to Li Er again, find a time to let himself out, first dig coal elsewhere for a few years, and then talk about it, Zhang Nan can't list the benefits of being an official, at least the first point, he doesn't have to get up so early every day like punching in, and he is more free to do anything, and he can do what he says he can do directly, with a higher degree of freedom, and he doesn't need to be subject to too much control.
"Mozu, you better go down and rest, prepare well tonight and prepare for tomorrow's speech, tomorrow will be the big day of Momen, tomorrow we will enter the palace before the morning dynasty, and run a few laps at the gate of the Taiji Palace to make sure that nothing goes wrong." Zhang Nan said.
After hearing this, Mo Zu nodded, what Zhang Nan said is indeed the safest method, although now this steam car has only one problem of air leakage since it was manufactured, but who can guarantee that it will not lie down? So it's better to prepare in advance. Thinking of this, Mo Zu arched his hand at Zhang Nan and said, "Then tomorrow I will see Qingquan's performance." ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said: "No problem, Mozu go and rest, I'm going to rest too, I've drunk too much wine today, I have to go to sleep quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." ”
After settling Mozu, Zhang Nan returned to his bedroom to rest. Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhang Nan took Mozu and the steam car to the palace, Zhang Nan deliberately used a piece of red cloth to cover the steam car, and the steam car into the palace was also pulled into the palace by horses, although Li Er had seen such high-end goods as Harley, but the ministers did not have it, so Zhang Nan decided to surprise the ministers who came to the early court today.
Took Mozu and the steam car into the palace, parked the steam car in the open space at the door of the main hall of Taiji Palace, Zhang Nan quickly replaced a bag of coal from the system, in order to accelerate the ignition speed of coal, by the way, he also got a few pieces of solid alcohol, and poured them all into the boiler, Zhang Nan picked up the fire fold and ignited the solid alcohol.
After a short time, the steam car took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright and began to run at the gate of Taiji Palace.
