"I'm reporting to the prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor, that he put the medical books back and went to read the literary and historical classics himself."
"Oh? What book did you read?"
""Mozi"."
""Mozi"? What a tattered and useless book...but it's better than miscellaneous books."
After listening to the report of the eunuch on duty in the inner study, Wang An believed that he was a great Confucian eunuch and actually looked down on the Mohist antiques.
Then he smiled slightly proudly. Although it is not a Confucian classic, it can still be regarded as a masterpiece by the sages. The emperor's grandson listened to his advice. If he behaves better in the future, the Donglin sages will definitely have a better impression of him.
"Okay, I will remember your contribution in the future."
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang!"
The eunuch of the inner study respectfully retired. Although the inner study is not under the supervision of the East Palace Attendant, Wanli is seriously ill and it is imperative for the East Palace to succeed. Many people in the palace are looking for opportunities to curry favor with the East Palace.
"It's still useful. He can be used as a seal eunuch in the future." Wang An is also judging these "sighted" people in order to expand his power in the palace in the future.
If the eldest son of the emperor is obedient, it will be convenient for him and Donglin Qunxian to find Zhu Youxiao’s future teacher~
"It's good not to go out to study. It will be convenient for us to arrange for someone to be his teacher in the future~"
……
“It’s quite good to study without leaving the house~”
Zhu Youxiao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
If you go out to study, you have to read the books according to the chapters designated by the lecturers, and you have no chance to read "Mozi".
The "Mozi" collected in the inner study room is a unique copy of 71 chapters. It is specially marked that this is Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty, collected and compiled by Liu Xin, and has been lost to the outside world.
The version circulating outside is the fifty-three chapter version that was reorganized in the Ming Dynasty.
There is only one unique copy of these seventy-one articles in the palace.
There is a difference of nearly 20 chapters, and it was lost in later generations.
Scroll through and see that the first half mostly contains words and deeds such as "universal love" and "non-attack" that I knew in my previous life, as well as many mechanical manufacturing and city defense methods.
But the second half surprised him.
"This is Mohist philosophy...it's so difficult to understand."
He scratched his head. He knew many words individually, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they meant.
But as for things in the world, what you see with your ears and eyes is what you see.
It also talks about knowing, hearing, speaking, kinship, name, reality, combination, for...
These eight words involving cognition obviously have a process and progression. In addition, there is in-depth thinking about "dialectics" and "famous studies", with special emphasis on concepts and reasoning. It is precisely because of this that there are those Mohist scholars.
Technical achievements.
Then turn back...
Are these Mohist giants and Mohist organization craftsmen?
It is the Mohist method and experience of organizing craftsmen and technical intellectuals, as well as the core "righteousness" of Mohist giants and cohesion.
Is this the lost content? No wonder it has been lost. Except for those landlords and old people, and even civil servants, how can you see this...
Growing up under the red flag, I immediately thought of a way.
In the name of Mohism, we can definitely show our talents in promoting science, technology and new ideas~
Based on the only copy of "Mozi", we promote science, technology and ideas. Anyway, there is only one copy, and I will have the right to interpret it in the future.
Question? Just say what Mo Zhai said.
In the name of Mohism, break the traditional Confucian hierarchy and lead the development of science and technology~
What the late Ming Dynasty lacked was political skill, the ability to unify the court and the organizational ability to implement it at the grassroots level.
My steel brother is good at this, and I know many of his methods.
We need to gather people with skills and ambitions to take the power of the court back from the hands of literati and officials, operate it in new ways, and promote reform and change.
The Mohists pay attention to the combination of bottom-up and top-down. Both have their own "names", that is, different definitions and compositions. They have similarities and differences, and they also need to be "argued" because in different matters
There is one person who wants to take the lead.
In terms of unity and development, we should pay attention to "universal love", which means being more altruistic. In terms of development and action, we should also focus on "uniformity", that is, we should pay attention to unified action.
"Non-attack, praise and kill" means not attacking others, but killing enemies and evil.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly smiled.
Mr. Mozi, I am promoting science and technology in your name. I believe you will look forward to it if you see it~
In the next few days, apart from daily visits to his father, Li Xuanshi, and sometimes visits to Wanli and Concubine Zheng, I spent most of my time reading "Mozi" in the inner library, taking notes and making plans.
"Time may be tight, and I can only read some of the more resonant content...but it's enough.
As soon as I returned to the entrance of Ciqing Palace that day, I heard a burst of slightly hasty footsteps coming from behind.
Looking back, it was Wang An who came.
"I've met Wang Daban."
"I have met the eldest grandson of the emperor. Your Majesty is looking for you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also with you, as are the important officials in the court. Please pay attention to etiquette and propriety after entering."
Coming.
Wanli's condition worsened.
Immediately followed Wang An to Qianqing Palace.
Wang An stopped outside, and Zhu Youxiao walked into the Qianqing Palace with his head lowered. The eunuch beside Wanli led the way to the bed.
"The emperor's grandson Zhu arrived from school."
Zhu Youxiao saw his father and Concubine Zheng beside Wanli's bed.
With his peripheral vision, he quickly recognized the six people kneeling aside: British Duke Zhang Weixian, Cabinet Chief Assistant Fang Congzhe, Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, Minister of Household Affairs Li Ruhua, Minister of War Huang Jiashan, and Minister of Punishment Huang Kezuan.
These six people are relatively trusted by Wanli, and it seems that they have been talking for a while...
The six of them also quickly glanced at the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao.
"I haven't seen him for many years. Although he is taller and more handsome than before, he has never left the cabinet to study and receive a Confucian education..."
"If His Majesty is gone, the immature grandson of the Emperor will definitely be involved in the vortex of struggle in the palace and the court, which is very worrying..."
Everyone had heard rumors that Zhu Youxiao was weak before, so of course they became worried.
"My grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang."
"Get up..." Wan Li's voice was weak, and he continued to look at Concubine Zheng and Prince Zhu Changluo without turning his head.
"Prince, after this world comes into your hands...will it be peaceful and happy? Or will it be clouded?"
Although Wan Li asked in a gentle tone, Zhu Changluo's heart skipped a beat and he immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I don't want father to leave."
"Oh... you have always been filial, but I'm worried that you can't control it..."
Wanli looked at the six kneeling civil and military officials again: "You civil and military officials don't know how to fight among themselves. In the future, officials will be impeached and various factions will fight for power again. What will you do?"
Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian were having a headache over this matter. When Wanli was still in office, he had already criticized the emperor and his ministers. Once they were no longer there, the offensive would become even more fierce.
Fang Congzhe had no choice but to reply: "I will do my best to assist the prince, and we will definitely prevent chaos in the court."
Wanli sighed. He had long predicted that Fang Congzhe and others would be attacked by a group of people, but it seemed that nothing could be changed until now. His eyes turned to Concubine Zheng who had been crying.
"Ah, the Ministry of Rites will arrange for the registration of Concubine Zheng as the queen as soon as possible."
"I obey the order." Fang Congzhe and others responded.
"No, it's not possible at all!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly said this, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
