After hearing what Zhang He said, Luo Sigong nodded.
Although he still felt a little uneasy, he felt that it was almost done and he knew that there was no way to arrange any more things.
It’s just that Luo Sigong didn’t expect so many people to come to Chen Kedao’s lecture this time.
This time, so many people in the capital have been alarmed. I hope nothing goes wrong.
Now is the time when the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are competing with each other. No one wants to be suppressed by the other, so everyone is doing their best.
Luo Sigong was personally here this time, fearing that if something happened at the lecture, he would not be able to deal with it in time and properly.
"The lecture outside is about to begin, right?" Luo Sigong asked Zhang He.
"Your Excellency, it is indeed time to begin." Zhang He bowed quickly.
"Then let's go and take a look." Luo Sigong stood up, turned around and walked outside.
He wanted to see what Chen Kedao had to say.
These days, Luo Sigong also learned some of Li Zhi's theories. He agreed with them and liked them very much. He also asked Chen Kedao for advice many times.
In fact, only Luo Sigong himself knew that he was not interested in these things at all.
He had no interest in either the ideas of Neo-Confucianism, the ideas of the School of Mind, or anything else Chen Kedao talked about.
If there was anything he was really interested in, it was having an official position and getting rich.
But sometimes, what you have to do is different from what you want to do.
In later generations, there was a term called political correctness, and the same is true in this era.
As the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Luo Sigong must like the doctrine that His Majesty likes, believe in this doctrine, and even be willing to die for this doctrine.
Of course, this was how it was supposed to look on the surface. Although it was just for show, in reality he had to do it.
There is no choice, no room for negotiation, and no room for maneuver.
Everyone in the Jinyiwei knew that their commander-in-chief was very convinced of Mr. Chen Kedao and liked his theories very much, so he supported him so much.
Moreover, this lecture was also organized by my own master. My own master also wanted to build a college and let Mr. Chen Kedao give lectures here.
It is not surprising that my master wants to listen to Mr. Chen Kedao's lecture.
So Zhang He did not dare to neglect it and quickly said, "I will lead the way."
Soon Luo Sigong came to the other side, where he could clearly see the top of the platform. However, the people below the platform could not see here, as this was a place to have a panoramic view of the whole situation.
Before Luo Sigong could find a comfortable place to sit down, there was a sudden commotion under the stage.
Soon, a person walked slowly from under the stage to the top.
This man was dressed in a Confucian robe and was not tall. He was not ugly, but he was really ugly.
No one expected that this person was Chen Kedao.
He actually looked like this?!
However, Chen Kedao seemed calm in the face of everyone's doubts. He slowly walked to the center of the stage and sat in his seat.
After everyone was seated and everything seemed ready, Chen Kedao stood up and said, "Thank you all for coming today. I would like to thank you all."
As he spoke, he smiled and bowed to everyone around him.
Many people disagree with Chen Kedao's statement, including some disciples of the School of Mind.
If you do this, who wouldn't know what's going on? Are those people in the audience here to cheer you on?
They want to trample you to the ground.
But there's nothing wrong with that. People come to show their support. No one comes out to cause trouble.
So these people need to listen to whatever Chen Kedao says.
After the polite exchange, Chen Kedao continued, "I, Chen Kedao, am here to explain my master's teachings to everyone. The book he wrote, Burning Books, is the teachings of the great Dao. I am not very knowledgeable and cannot fully understand it all by myself. Today, I am here simply to exchange ideas with everyone. If anyone has read my master's books, you are welcome to discuss them with us."
Everyone looked at each other.
Some people sneered. This Chen Kedao was afraid, and had actually narrowed the discussion to his teacher's knowledge. But what was the point? It was nothing more than a self-deception.
As long as you don't dare to accept the challenge today, your reputation will be ruined tomorrow. Everyone will know that you are a heretic and there will be no room for negotiation.
In this situation, playing tricks like this is no longer useful. Chen Kedao didn't seem to have thought of this and still used this method.
So the people below sneered or showed disdain, and no one took Chen Kedao's words to heart.
Chen Kedao didn't care and spoke directly, "My master advocates for many things, and there are many things I don't understand. Today I will talk about one of my master's principles: equality for all people."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
This view has been proposed before, but it has always been refuted.
Because the mainstream decision-makers are the scholars. As the saying goes, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the scholars are at the top of the food chain. How could they be willing to come forward and play equal role with others?
This is simply impossible.
The country's public opinion and academic views are controlled by the scholars. How could they possibly create such a theory?
