Chapter 534: The symbol of the "Renaissance" of the Tang Dynasty

"Tomorrow, the Turkic envoys will arrive in Chang'an, and I am ready for you to go to support, what do you say?" Li Shimin didn't raise his head, and said lightly while taking a red pen to write his instructions on the song.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Wechen was dismissed from his official position because he lost the Turkic envoys! Xia Hongsheng crossed his face and said to Li Shimin: "Where can I go to support the Turks again?" Besides, now it's clear that he's going to fall out with the Turks, and even Weichen can't get anything out of the Turks' mouths! ”

"Who told you that I was going to detain something from the Turk's mouth?" Only then did Li Shimin raise his eyes, look at Xia Hongsheng, and said, "The Turks will be placed in the Sifang Pavilion, and I will not assign anyone to receive them. You're just dealing with them as your own. Besides, you lost the Turkic envoy, shouldn't you apologize? ”

Xia Hongsheng's face fell a little again: "Wei Chen lost their mastermind, so that they couldn't have Xue Yantuo's envoy arrive in Chang'an, and now I go to see them again, will they kill me!" ”

"Where did Li Feng ask you to give the support?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, squinted at Xia Hongsheng and glanced at him: "I assigned him to you for nothing?" ”

"Oh, okay then." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Wechen obeys, then tomorrow when the Turks arrive at the Sifang Pavilion, Wechen will visit them and probe the Turks for His Majesty." ”

"You know each other." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Now that you have been dismissed from your official position, I have found some characters for you, and I will definitely be able to appetize you." They have already moved. Arriving in Chang'an soon. Go to your Jingyang Academyβ€”it's a reward this time. ”

How many teachers have you found again? This made Xia Hongsheng very happy.

"Hey! Wechen thanked Your Majesty! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly bowed and saluted. He asked again: "Your Majesty, can you give Weichen a wake-up call, so that Weichen can be prepared." ”

Li Shimin smiled, flipped through the notes, and said: "Before the Qin and Han dynasties, his knowledge could be compared with Confucianism. ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, before the Qin and Han dynasties, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was on a par with Confucianism...... Suddenly. Xia Hongsheng's heart suddenly moved, and he blurted out: "Non-Confucianism and ink?!" ”

Mohist is a philosophical school in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one of the hundred schools of thought, together with Confucianism represented by Confucius and Taoism represented by Laozi, which constitute the three major philosophical systems in ancient China. Han Feizi, a representative of Legalism, called Mojia and Confucianism "the manifestation of the world", and Mencius, a representative of Confucianism, also said that "the words of the world, if you do not return to Yang, you will return to Mo", etc., this Yang refers to Yang Zhu, the representative of Taoism, and Mo refers to Mojia. It can be seen that the Mohist thought was once brilliant.

"Oh, Xia Qing is very talented." Li Shimin smiled. He said: "Looking at Xia Qing's appearance, it seems that he knows a lot about the Mo family?" ”

"I do know something." Xia Hongsheng nodded. Said.

I have memorized it in history classes, and there are hundreds of schools of thought in the professional courses of the university, and there is a lot of space for the Mo family.

The Mohist family was born around the Warring States period. The founder is Mo Zhai. Unlike other academic schools in the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Mohists were a very disciplined academic society, and their leaders were called "Juzi", and their members had to implement the Mohist ideas when they went to various countries to become officials, and the income from them had to be donated to the group. The Mohist school is divided into the early and late periods: the early period mainly deals with socio-political, ethical and epistemological issues, and focuses on the wars and turmoil of the present world; In the later period, Mohists made important contributions to logic and began to move closer to the field of scientific research. The main ideas of the Mohists are: love, that is, equality between people; non-offensive, and oppose aggressive wars, economize, and advocate economy, oppose extravagance and waste, and attach importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors; and the will of heaven, and the grasp of the laws of nature.

Because of the unique political nature of Mohist thought, and the policy of collusion between government and school of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the Mohists have been continuously suppressed since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and gradually lost the practical basis for their existence, and Mohist thought gradually became extinct in China.

Xia Hongsheng still remembers that before he crossed over, he went to the town middle school to listen to the class, and a history teacher said in an open class that it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that scholars re-excavated the Mohist from the pile of old papers and found its progressiveness. It's a pity that Xia Hongsheng lost his mind after listening to the lecture for half a while, picked up his mobile phone, and couldn't hear anything specific.

If Li Shimin really found the heir of the Mo family, it would be an eye-opener, and he would be able to save a lot of trouble.

"I came across a copy of the Mohist sayings before, and when I looked at it, I suddenly felt that it had something in common with Xia Qing's request, especially the theory of Ming ghosts and Tianzhi, which was the closest to Xia Qing's way of learning things. Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Workshop, there have been many benefits in Datang. also remembered Xia Qing's words. Xia Qing once said that the academic battle, in the end, is probably integrated with each other. For there is a right and a wrong to each one, and there is a good and a bad to each one. However, no matter how much the academic competition is, what I have to do is to step out of the equation and take control of the overall situation and sit on the sidelines. In the eyes of the Holy Monarch, the military generals are all horses. The difference is that one is a light rider and the other is a Humvee. And the king is the one who controls the world. So whether it's Confucianism, Dharma, ink, Taoism, yin and yang, or vertical and horizontal, these are all chess pieces under my hands, and my goal is to win the chess game. Every time I think about it, I feel that it makes sense, and I contact the military aircraft workshop to look at it, it is indeed as Xia Qing said! Li Shimin said with emotion: "In the past Han Dynasty, why not just use the car and abandon the horse, elephant, pawn, and cannon?" ”

"So Your Majesty began to look for the deposed hundred families?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"Not bad." Li Shimin nodded: "For academics, I should not be unique, but should take the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and abandon the shortcomings of a hundred schools, so that all the sons and hundreds of schools can be used by me." ”

Xia Hongsheng was surprised and ecstatic in his heart, and immediately bowed down and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise!" This is indeed the act of a saint! ”

After all, his own thoughts still affected this already enlightened king! Xia Hongsheng saw the change in Li Shimin's attitude towards academics, and seemed to see that a new era of cultural prosperity in the Tang Dynasty was coming.

The change in Li Shimin's attitude towards academics can be described as a sign of the beginning of the "Renaissance" of the Tang Dynasty! (To be continued.) )
