Chapter 415: Pragmatism is the foundation for the future!
Wu Qian and Zhuo Jing are both smart people. They understood immediately and their expressions changed.
However, there are not many smart people, and more people are still confused.
Even Zhu Gui and the others who were watching the show with great interest in the corner looked at a loss. They also looked at the newspaper and did not see their father's remarks in it, so they subconsciously turned their gazes to The attendant stood aside.
The attendant smiled awkwardly.
He hadn't read many books, and he couldn't even read the words in the newspaper. How could he read it? He said: "Young Master Wang, I am illiterate and don't know what is written in the newspaper. I hope you will forgive me."< br>
Zhu Gui curled his lips and felt that it was.
If even he couldn't see it, how could these illiterate attendants see it?
Involuntarily, the brothers all turned their attention to the people in front of them, but the ones who looked more at them were Jie Jin and the leader Ren Hengtai. No one else could see it, but these two people could see it, which is enough. These two people are extraordinary.
At least, in their opinion, he is better than others.
Zhu Gui said: "Please note down these two people and tell your elder brother when the time comes."
"Yes."
The crowd, which was still a little commotion at first, saw Ren Hengtai suddenly laughing, and Zhuo Jing , Wu Qian suddenly darkened his face. Even if he no longer had the eyesight to see, he understood that His Majesty's attitude was indeed implicit in this newspaper.
With this point of view, many people started watching it again.
Finally some clues came out.
His Majesty’s attitude is not in the content, but in the newspaper!
Someone revealed their findings: "This is a newspaper compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and it is the first edition of the newspaper. It must have been approved by His Majesty or His Highness, and since Your Majesty and His Highness have allowed this newspaper to be made public If it is issued, it actually reflects His Majesty’s attitude.”
“His Majesty cannot be said to support Xia Xueshi’s ‘request for change’, at least he does not oppose it.”
Others also. Hindsight.
Only Wu Qian and Zhuo Jing’s faces turned darker.
Xie Jin looked very calm and did not show any pride. He held up his hands and said: "I don't want to show off anything, I just want to explain that your Majesty does not have any objection to 'change', and most of us come to Beijing for this." Go to the Hanlin Academy to read the newly compiled textbooks, and you can actually get some clues from them."
"The imperial court has its own views on the current trend of humanities."
“Otherwise, we would not have spent so much effort on compiling unified teaching materials for the world and publishing newspapers related to current affairs in the capital. Why would we not hope that Ming scholars like us would open our minds and actively face the problem? To the magnificent world."
"The Tao remains unchanged, and the world remains unchanged."
"The Tao is always changing, and the only things that remain unchanged are decay and decline."
"I dare not speak ill of Your Majesty, but I know something about Academician Xia. Since the imperial examination, Academician Xia has been devoted to various fields. As far as I know, there are already "steam engines" that are widely recognized by the world, and "cotton-padded jackets". In the north, there is a post office with a clear distinction between official and private affairs, and now "newspapers" have appeared. There is also the 'New Unified Textbook'. From my humble perspective, Academician Xia has been innovating."
"Actively leading the world to a better side, improving people's livelihood, and making the world truly people-oriented. ."
"Rather than just talk!"
"Pragmatism is the attitude the world should have."
Ren Hengtai clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Xie is right, pragmatism is the foundation. Many of you are too pragmatic and have read too many books. They seem to be full of truth, but in fact they are too big and inappropriate to study the subjective world of people. It is too deep, but it does not have a deep understanding of the world's human feelings and the real situation of the world. It seems that it is reasonable to talk on paper, but in fact it is completely ignorant." We study to serve the world.”
“But this summer, the bachelor has thrown out the long-term problem of establishing a foothold in the world. We should be calm and focused, and study how to solve it. Rather than criticizing each other, or even directly opposing these views, isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?”
Ren Hengtai kept shaking his head.
He didn't have much opinion about the people at the table, but he was a little unhappy because they were relying on their elders.
They are all talented people who have emerged in the past few years. They all have talents and believe that they are not inferior to others. How can they be willing to "rely on their elders and betray them"? If it was really reasonable, he would admit it, but he was not used to saying a bunch of 'self-righteous' words directly.
Besides, he still has the advantage.
"Brother Ren, what do you mean? The court intends to seek change?" A scholar asked.
Ren Hengtai shook his head again and said with a smile: "Whether the imperial court is willing to seek change or not, I am afraid only the officials in the imperial court know. I dare not speculate, but His Majesty's pragmatic heart has long been known to the world. , not pragmatic, but only focused on words, is destined to be rarely taken seriously by the court."
"However, judging from the recent changes in the court, it is indeed suspected that the direction of the trend has changed."
"The imperial court intends to recruit scholars like us to the imperial court. Perhaps it also intends to test our attitude and use these newly compiled teaching materials to test our views on the world."
Xie Jin nodded and shook his head again. shook his head.
He said: "I have a different view."
"The imperial court is willing to change. At least His Majesty does not like those vain words, and prefers to do something A pragmatic thing, and this is not One requirement for recent imperial examination candidates like us is that only by being pragmatic and doing practical things for the world can we gain a firm foothold in the world, and this should become the foundation for scholars like us.”
Xie Jin is very brave. Speak your mind.
Not easily avoided.
The scholars on the side were thoughtful.
Pragmatic, these two words, His Majesty has been thinking about them since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but the actual effect is not good. Now it is just a 'refreshment of old things', but with Xia Zhibai in front of him, we can do it again in the future. If someone wants to fool around, it may become difficult.
Whether it is good or bad varies from person to person.
It’s just that many scholars upstairs subconsciously stayed away from Zhuo Jing and Wu Qian. The two of them used their own selfishness to speculate on the public intentions of the court, which already raised some eyebrows, not to mention Ren Hengtai and Xie Jin said It is very clear that this newspaper may not be a test for them by the imperial court.
Distinguish between public and private matters!
Zhuo Jing and Wu Qian looked gloomy and said nothing.
But I was secretly anxious.
I didn’t notice it for a moment, but I made a big mistake. Although it was just an unintentional statement, it depends on whether the listener meant it. Moreover, no one else said it, only a few of them said it. This is undoubtedly It will lower their impression in the court.
Normally, it would be fine, but if they were taking part in the Imperial High School Examination and taking part in the Palace Examination, if they failed to pass the examination, someone would 'bring up old matters again', and they would be at a huge disadvantage.
It's just that the words have been spoken, and they are in full view of the public, so even if they want to, they can't take them back.
You can only suffer a hidden loss from this plan.
But in my heart, I felt resentment towards Xie Jin and Ren Hengtai. If it weren't for the two of them, how could they be the target of public criticism? How could he fall into such a deep pit?
