The ministers stared dumbfoundedly at the emperor speaking these words viciously, wondering why the emperor was so excited.
They would never have imagined that in China hundreds of years later, after the monarchy had long been eliminated, one word would be worth ten thousand words; that one person would appear who could decide the life and death of everyone else at will, including the two who were close comrades just a moment ago.
No. 1 person; there is a farce of producing more than 100,000 kilograms per acre; there is a joke that because you have a little more land, you are a bad guy and you will be eliminated.
Zhu Xiaoqi once heard his parents talk about the absurdity and shamelessness of those years.
He remembers what Zhu Xiaotian said at that time: "The root is still in the mind.
Everyone thinks that the person in power can never be wrong."
So Zhu Youxiao wanted to make a mistake from now on.
People began to realize that no one is always right, not the emperor, not the ministers, and not the so-called leaders and saviors.
Let such a shame never appear in the history of the Chinese nation.
Xu Guangqi understood Zhu Youxiao a little bit.
He found that Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about solving the problem of establishing slaves.
It seemed that it was a natural thing, but he was eager to change some systems, and now he wanted to change people's minds even more.
Perhaps in his view, changing systems and ideas is more important than defeating the establishment of slaves.
He agreed very much on this point.
He did not think that the creation of slaves was a serious problem.
He felt that the real threats to the Ming Dynasty and China were those Westerners who had completely different ideas from the Ming Dynasty and valued the manufacture of equipment.
It is obviously not possible for a nation's culture to completely copy other cultures.
This will put the spirit of the entire nation in a low and lost state.
The current thinking of Ming Dynasty can only be Confucianism, but there are many aspects of Confucianism that are not suitable for this era.
Especially when faced with the threat of Western culture, it does not have enough confidence to fight against it.
Then the only way is to modify Confucian culture and absorb useful essences from other cultures, so that Confucian culture can shine with new brilliance.
He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty's words are thought-provoking, and I admire you endlessly.
Since your Majesty is so ambitious and wants to make the people of the Ming Dynasty understand this truth, I hereby support the publication of this article in the weekly newspaper.
I just want to name the author.
Change the name” Mr.
Xiao Qi is now extremely famous in weekly newspapers, and he often writes rebuttal articles before other people's letters are published, making readers understand that he should have a background in the imperial court, and maybe even They are the officials in the newspaper office.
Xu Guangqi wanted to change the name because he wanted to downplay the official background of this article and make people think of it as just a letter from an ordinary reader.
In addition, as soon as this article comes out, it will definitely be criticized by some rotten scholars, and I am afraid that the emperor will not look good at that time.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "That's okay, let's change the name.
Since it is a deviant theory and it is to awaken the people's thinking, let's call it the Screamer."
The ministers didn't say much about this name, which was not very good.
Anyway, it was just a name that was scolded.
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, once this article is published, it will definitely cause a sensation.
I and others should agree with your Majesty's intention and write some articles to support it.
Please give us a framework first."
Zhu Youxiao said: "I have thought about this before.
We are all Confucians, and naturally we know that some things in Confucianism have reached the time to be revised.
I have an immature idea.
Simply put, it is called reforming Confucianism first.
We should not only absorb the essence of Western learning, but also form a situation in which Western learning serves as the basis.
I don’t know what you think.”
"Chinese learning is for the body, Western learning is for the application."
Ye Xianggao muttered these words, his eyes gradually glowing.
The emperor had always liked Western learning and set up a translation bureau to translate a large number of Western works.
This made Confucian disciples like him often worried that the emperor would blatantly replace Confucianism with Western learning.

But now the emperor's words made him completely relieved.
The relationship between middle school and Western learning is the relationship between form and application, the relationship between main and auxiliary, and the relationship between foundation and end.
This formulation ensures that the emperor should still take Confucianism as the foundation, and at most only mix some Western ideas into it.
This is not a problem at all for Confucianism, because in the process of its formation, Confucianism has absorbed ideas from other schools, and now it is absorbing Western ideas without any pressure at all.
Several other cabinet ministers also agreed with what he was thinking, and they all knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live my emperor."
At Zhu Youxiao's age, he could come up with such a method to fill the shortcomings of Confucianism without shaking the foundation of Confucianism.
In their view, this was another evidence of the emperor's innate sage.
And Zhu Youxiao just copied the "Chinese body and Western use" idea of the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty.
After that vigorous ideological movement, more Chinese people began to open their eyes to the world, starting from the introduction of Western advanced science and technology, and finally Developed to introduce Western parliamentary system and constitutional monarchy.
If it were not for the limitations of the ruling class and the complex world situation at that time, China's prosperity and strength would not have taken so many detours.
Now Zhu Youxiao is the representative of the ruling class.
He knows the development trend of the world and believes that he can lead Ming Dynasty to a glorious future.
He was able to strengthen the army and enrich the people, provide strong protection for the ideological transformation of Ming Dynasty, and make Chinese civilization become the mainstream civilization of the world.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand proudly and said: "My dear friends, I asked you a few days ago that the calculation of the new calendar has almost been completed.
Next year I will announce the new calendar method.
So now we have to start building momentum. , this matter is still the responsibility of Master Ye.
The four aspects that Confucianism mentioned last time have been basically changed, at least on the surface.
The taboo issue has been changed.
Lead by example, but I believe there is still a long-term process.
This article of mine should cause a big discussion on the issue of foolishness and filial piety, and I will ask Dongchang to investigate.
This matter is just for everyone to talk about. , In fact, most people who think they are gentlemen are talking about profit, and this matter is not urgent.
These four problems have been solved this year, and we can change the calendar method next year. " Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, how to control the matter of publicity and momentum?
I need to ask Your Majesty to draw up regulations first, so that I can handle them according to the regulations."
Zhu Youxiao said: "The key propaganda is that the Master established a school to educate all people.
Note that it is a school directly, do not use a school.
The difference between humans and animals is to understand human ethics.
How to understand human ethics is the way to educate.
Just follow In this regard, the Master is an eternal saint
