Chapter 47 The Spirit of Independence, Free Thought


After more than ten days, Feng Menglong finally entered Beijing.

After registering at the Chinese Language and Literature School of the Capital University, the hospital immediately arranged a place to stay for him.

Before he could settle in, a young eunuch came to announce him.

Zhu Youxiao met with Feng Menglong in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as Wu Bing, Ruan Dacheng, Zhou Yanru, Jiang Yunlong, Ling Shuchu and Zhang Dai.

Although Feng Menglong had already been told by the young eunuch, he only had to bow to the emperor when he saw him.

But after seeing the emperor, he knelt down directly on the ground and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

The eunuch next to him couldn't pull him up.

When Zhu Youxiao saw the thin scholar in his fifties in front of him, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that he was sad that the imperial examination failed, and he was grateful for his appreciation, so he gave this gift.

He smiled and said: "This is just an example.

From now on, everyone can be regarded as colleagues, so there is no need to pay homage.

I invite you all to come this year because I have a favor.

I think you may have read Water Margin.

This book is very well written.

Some of the heroic deeds can make people's blood boil.

I would like to ask all Fang family members to comment on this book. " Everyone said they didn't dare.

Zhou Yanru stepped forward and said, "I have read this book before, but I feel that there seems to be something wrong with the main purpose of the book.

Officials force the people to rebel, and it is easy to incite ignorant people to rebel."

Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "The officials force the people to rebel.

If the people don't rebel, why bother?

The problem lies with the officials, and it has nothing to do with the common people."

Zhou Yanru hit the biggest nail as soon as he opened his mouth.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

He wanted to kneel but didn't dare, so he had to lower his head with a red face.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "We are discussing now.

You don't need to treat me as the emperor.

We are colleagues.

If you have anything to say, say it directly.

I don't agree with your point of view, so I will tell you my opinion.

It's not like the court is telling the truth.

I'm so nervous.

What to do.”

Zhou Yanru was relieved a little, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Wu Bing, the director of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said: "I feel that the author of this book does not actually agree with the rebellion.

His original intention should be to warn the court that officials at all levels should be well managed and not let the officials force the people.

The opposite happened.

Just look at the description of Song Jiang and you can see how good the final result will be if a bad guy becomes their leader."

Zhu Youxiao did not dare to comment directly, but just nodded and glanced at the other people.

The remaining people answered one by one, but due to the heroic deeds mentioned by Zhu Youxiao at the beginning, no one raised the issue of indiscriminate killing of innocent people except for people like Song Jiang or Wang Ying.

The last one was Feng Menglong.

While others were answering, he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

He has always disliked Water Margin and didn't think the people in it were heroes, but the emperor said at the beginning that they were heroes, which made him hesitate whether to follow the emperor's words or tell his true thoughts.

At this time, the place became quiet.

He looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him.

He panicked and was about to say a few words and forget it.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao said: "Feng Qing has just arrived.

If you are tired from traveling, you need to rest for a while."

Feng Menglong was heartbroken.

The emperor specially invited him here and treated him so politely.

If he only knew how to be a yes-man, wouldn't he have let down the emperor's wishes?

He turned his face solemn and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have also read this book.

My views on Song Jiang are the same as those of the Fang family.

It's just that I think Liangshan heroes are not heroes at all."

Everyone was shocked.

This was a show against the emperor.

They didn't expect that he could be so bold with such a laid-back look.

"I saw what was written in the book, killing people at every turn, and how could the people deserve it?

They used various excuses to kill the Liangshan people.

It was right.

The Liangshan people could convict people at will.

You killed innocent people in revenge, and the innocent people's What should Qiu do?

The so-called heroes just think that they are superior to others, oh, not superior to others.

Except for their brothers, everyone else is inferior to ants, so I think that they are not heroes, but just a group of thieves. " After saying this, he felt at ease.

Although he knew that what was waiting for him was probably the emperor's angry rebuke, or even the torture of the Jin Yiwei, but he still felt that he would not regret it if he spoke out.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands gently, which surprised everyone.

They thought it was a signal to call the Jin Yiwei, but they saw that Zhu Youxiao clapped faster and harder, and no one came in.

Zhu Youxiao applauded for a while and said, "Feng Qing's words are very much in line with my wishes."

When Feng Menglong heard this, he felt relieved.

At this time, he realized that his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't lift up any strength, and he was about to fall.

He calmed down and managed to hold on, but finally he did not fall to the ground.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Everyone, please sit down."

Feng Menglong moved his steps with difficulty, but fortunately the chair was right behind him, and he finally sat down safely.

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is the first time for all of you to communicate with me, so I will say it again, here, I am a colleague with all the lords.

I am the professor of the six subjects of the institute, the only professor of six subjects.

Here.

When we discuss academic issues, you should treat me as a colleague.

If you have anything to say, just say it.

Don't hide it or worry about you.

Does your idea have the same idea as mine?

What does it matter if your idea is opposite to mine?

We are discussing it because we are different.

If we are all the same, why should we discuss it?

This is not a major matter for the imperial court.

Everyone can have his or her own opinion.

Everyone has different opinions.

Even the major affairs of the court are not decided by me, and the cabinet often puts forward different opinions. " "Only through extensive discussions, everyone puts forward their own opinions and expresses their opinions, so that we can brainstorm and draw the correct conclusion in the end.

Academics are academics, and political affairs are political affairs.

Don't worry about your different opinions from me.

I will be right You can do whatever you want.

I can guarantee that I will never punish anyone for academic issues.

Even if your views are very strange and unreasonable, I will try to convince you or prevent your views from being spread, but You won’t be put in a jail cell.”

"If you pay a little attention when passing the gate of the Capital University, you will find that two new sentences have been added: independent spirit and free thought.

Why were these two sentences added?

Because I once saw a sage I will read to you the inscription I wrote for another sage who died in the water."

"The scholar's study and scholarship will be based on freeing one's mind from the shackles of worldly truth, so that truth can be carried forward.

Without freedom of thought, it is better to die.

The essence of the ancient and modern saints who died together, how can I dare to look at Mr.

Seeing his independent and free will in one death is not about the grievances and grievances of one person, the rise and fall of a surname.

The stone is used to express sorrow and never forget; it expresses the wonders of the philosopher, and expresses the uncertainty of the true master and the unknown of the future.

Mr.

Wang's writings may sometimes be incomplete; Mr.

Wang's teachings may sometimes be open to discussion; This independent spirit and free thought have lasted for thousands of years and are as long as the sky and the earth, and they have three lights and will last forever
