Chapter 283: Confucianism Has Been Weak For Ten Years, And Yan Changqing Is Ready To Spend His Life

In the Agricultural College, in the dean's residence, Yan Changqing was immersed in a wooden barrel of hot water.

In the misty heat, Yan Changqing's pale face was vaguely visible.

I vomited it after I came back, and the bile was spit out.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. Not to mention bloody scenes, he had not even seen a few bloody fights.

Even in this era, thanks to his status as a doctor of imperial eunuchs and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he has not really seen the cruelty of this era.

But today, he witnessed with his own eyes a disciple of the Kong family dying in various miserable ways in front of him.

He even personally took a knife and chopped a Kong family member seven or eight times. It would be false to say that he did not have any psychological discomfort. After all, he was not a murderer who was born to take pleasure in killing people.

It's just that he has been holding on, pretending to be arrogant and not looking at the miserable situation of the children of the Kong family, and has been hinting to himself to divert his attention to others, so he has just managed to survive.

Otherwise, he might have vomited it out in public when he saw the disciples of the Kong family being burned, beheaded, and cut in half.

And once he vomits it out in public, the atmosphere he has worked so hard to create will be immediately broken.

At that time, any words he says will be greatly less convincing to other people, and even people like Confucians will use this to ridicule him for being weak.

At that time, it will be even more difficult for him to stir up public opinion and sway public opinion.

Because the reason why the collective masses blindly follow one person's words is essentially because of this person's "power".

For example, the strength of public trust, the strength of individual force, the loftiness of status, etc.

The behavior of "vomiting" is undoubtedly a weak behavior in the eyes of the collective masses.

It is very difficult for people with weak behavior to gain the trust and blind obedience of the collective masses.

Fortunately, he managed to hold on until the end of the debate.

"....RR."

Yan Changqing exhaled a deep and long breath. Under the soothing effect of hot water, his condition finally recovered a lot.

"The Kong family was destroyed, plus Zhu Yuanzhang caused a series of massacres because of the rebellion of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others."

"In the future, it will take at least ten years for Confucianism to return to its peak state."

Yan Changqing in the bathtub was thinking about today's events and murmuring to himself.

Although today the Kong family, the Confucian sage family that has been passed down for thousands of years, has been reduced to dust, and even driven into a place of eternal destruction.

But Yan Changqing is not too happy, because he knows very well that the Confucian family is only a representative of Confucianism, but the Confucian family does not really represent Confucianism!!!

To be precise, those who truly represent Confucianism are the Confucian civil servants who temporarily hold the positions of seven ministers in the court today!!!

They are the ones who truly represent the rise and fall of Confucianism!!!

As long as the seven important ministers above the court are still served by civil servants born in Confucianism.

This means that Confucianism still firmly holds the mainstream discourse power and is still a unique and prominent school in the world!!!

So from this perspective, it was actually Zhu Yuanzhang who brought great harm and influence to Confucianism.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang had previously killed all the seven important ministers who were born in Confucianism, as well as more than half of other civil servants, large and small, for the crime of treason.

Nowadays, many civil servants with Confucian backgrounds in the imperial court are basically taking higher-level positions than their current positions.

In order to keep their current positions and confirm their position as the Seventh Minister of the Qing Dynasty, these civil servants did not question or resist any of Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.

As a result, at the critical moment, the important officials of the Seven Qing Dynasty did not have enough weight to speak for Confucianism, Confucianism, and "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man".

That's why Yan Changqing was able to defend the Kong family, Liu Sanwu and others so easily today, leaving them speechless.

Otherwise, if all the powerful Confucian officials were present today, when they all expressed their opinions, even Zhu Yuanzhang would have to consider one or two things for the sake of the overall situation.

It is not even certain whether the debate conference on "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" can be successfully held.

After all, with the existence of a group of Confucian seven ministers, it would not be difficult for them to come up with some things that represent revelations and condemnations from "God" to prove the existence of "God".

When the time comes, it is not impossible for School Disciple to encourage public opinion among the people and use the surging public opinion to force Zhu Yuanzhang to cancel the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man".

Even if they didn't understand things like this originally, there were many examples left by their predecessors who were Confucian civil servants for reference.

In particular, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were the leaders in this regard.

The reason why Yan Changqing was able to successfully overturn the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" today can only be said to be that he indeed chose a stage when Confucianism was extremely empty of power.

However, according to Yan Changqing's estimation, this empty period of Confucianism will not last long.

In Yan Changqing's estimation, in about ten years, the current civil servants who have leapfrogged to take over the position of Qi Qing will be able to fully confirm their position as Qi Qing.

In addition, at that time, "Kong Sigong" should have been selected for two sessions.

With the Qiqing civil servants holding the mainstream discourse power of the imperial court, and Kong Sigong leading the Confucian students and literary students all over the world, the power of Confucianism will then regain its peak.

"However, with the ten years of relaxation, Wanmin Agricultural College should be able to train some agricultural students in the future and occupy a certain position in the court.

"By then, the Nongjia Agricultural College will have its own foundation."

"Perhaps during this period, three or two offices among the other hundreds of schools of thought can be revived.

“At that time, we will not say that Confucianism will be completely knocked down from its lofty position, but at least it will be able to regain (Qian Zhao) a part of the soil for the growth of hundreds of schools of thought.

"And within the next ten years, being able to do that will be enough."

Yan Changqing had a very good mentality. He never expected to overthrow Confucianism, a prominent school in the world, by destroying the Confucian school and abolishing the Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man.

If you want to overthrow Confucianism, which has been a prominent school of the world for thousands of years, and make its scientific approach combined with the teachings of various schools of thought and become one of the prominent schools of thought again, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight, or even within ten or eight years. things that can be done.

But it might be a big project that will take his whole life!!!

But he is patient, can afford to wait, and enjoys it.
