Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of future generations, the leaders of the country at that time, and the figures of the founders of the Republic, which became clearer and clearer in his mind.
They were truly a group of people with ideals who were fighting for their motherland and their nation. They were completely different from the ministers in his court.
If you were not the emperor, would you choose to rebel?
This is a question that Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about, but he thinks it may still be related to his identity as a time traveler.
If he were a royal relative or a gentry, he might not rebel.
But if I were to travel through time and space to be a soldier, or an ordinary citizen, I would most likely join in the fight. But it would be more for myself, rather than for any great ideals.
It seems that there is still a big gap between me and those revolutionary predecessors. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Don't worry! It's okay!" Seeing that Empress Zhang was still looking at him, Zhu Youxiao reached out and patted her hand, then said with a smile: "Let's go to bed early, it's getting late now."
"Then I will serve Your Majesty." Empress Zhang said with a slightly blushing face.
After Zhu Youxiao slept with Empress Zhang, news about Huang Kexun gradually spread.
Even several Grand Secretaries in the cabinet knew about this matter, and everyone looked at Huang Kezun with a different look.
Among the people in the cabinet, Sun Chengzong and Han Yu studied Neo-Confucianism; Xu Guangqi studied the School of Mind, and he believed in Li Zhi's School of Mind.
Under such circumstances, Han Yu had tried his best to blur the imprint of his own school of thought. But who would have thought that Huang Kexun would come up with another Xunzi.
We are all scholars, and we are all very well-educated. We have been officials for so many years. Who doesn’t know about Xunzi’s teachings?
Why is Xunzi’s theory not recognized by Confucianism?
Because Xunzi's doctrine eventually evolved into Legalism.
Xunzi's students Li Si, Han Fei, Fu Qiubo, Zhang Cang, etc., each of them was a giant of the Legalists.
A great Confucian scholar ended up teaching only Legalists. This is something that makes people think. How could orthodox Confucian students not reject Xunzi?
If Xunzi were allowed to teach, all he would teach would be Legalists. How would everyone get by?
Now Huang Kexun actually wanted to promote Xunzi's theory. Not only several university scholars in the cabinet, but even some other people felt that something was wrong, and the ministers in the court were talking about it.
If the struggle between Neo-Confucianism and the School of Mind was something they could tolerate, it was because they were both Confucianisms. Despite all the arguments, the differences between them were not actually that great.
But Xunzi's doctrine is different. It originated from Confucianism, but it directly points to Legalism. How can this situation be possible?
What if Xunzi's teachings were spread and eventually a large number of Legalists emerged?
For a moment, Huang Kezun felt like the target of public criticism, with everyone questioning and doubting him.
However, Huang Kezun didn't seem to notice it. He went to work and came home with a smile every day, and didn't seem to care much about what everyone said.
Under such circumstances, countless ministers in the court began to submit memorials.
Some ministers who had originally been inclined to support the formulation of the imperial examination syllabus also submitted their opposition papers.
The reason is very simple: they don't want Huang Kexun to succeed. They don't want Xunzi's teachings to appear in the world again.
This doctrine has been abandoned, and even Xunzi himself could not enter the Confucius Temple. Why bother to let his doctrine come out and stir?
Once the Legalists come to power, what kind of life will people like us live?
This is absolutely unacceptable.
So for a while, the voices of opposition were very loud.
Even several university secretaries in the cabinet had doubts in their minds.
They felt as if they had been fooled by Huang Kexun. When he spoke up for Xu Guangqi, it didn't seem like he was really doing it for the sake of the School of Mind.
Now everyone knows why he said and did what he did, but it seems a little too late.
Zhu Youxiao ignored the chaos of things happening outside. He finally completed the move and came to Xiyuan.
Compared to the Qianqing Palace, Xiyuan has one advantage, which is that the place is larger and more spacious.
In comparison, this place looks more like a garden than a palace.
In such an environment, Zhu Youxiao felt a lot more relaxed, and the things he had arranged earlier were almost done.
Qi Jin had already prepared the men for him, so Zhu Youxiao went to meet them.
When Zhu Youxiao arrived here, Qi Jin was also here.
These days were very good for Qi Jin. His Majesty provided him with everything he wanted and did not impose any restrictions on him.
They gave him whatever he wanted, whether it was silver or various weapons. It could be said that they fully supported his military training.
Under such circumstances, Qi Jin could be said to be like a fish in water. He put all his energy into this military training and vowed to train a powerful army for the Ming Dynasty.
Firstly, to serve the country, and secondly, to repay Your Majesty's kindness.
Under such circumstances, if His Majesty asked him to select some people, he would naturally have to be very careful.
So Qi Jin held a large-scale selection and chose the 500 people in front of him from the 10,000 people in the newly trained Tiger Roar Camp.
