Iron Dynasty

Chapter 805 The Beginning of the Renaissance

Tianzi Academy!

In the imperial study, Xiao Ming wrote the plaque himself with a pen, and he implemented it after returning from Qingzhou University.

As he has done before, he is now doing the same to inspire enthusiasm for science in his students.

Putting away the pen, Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu: You send this plaque to Qingzhou University, and also call Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing, now it's time to get rid of the old cheats.

Qian Dafu vaguely guessed what Xiao Ming was going to do. The science and technology of the Great Yu country is now only within Qingzhou, and outside the Great Yu country is still dominated by feudal ignorance. If this ignorance is not completely eliminated, science will be popularized in the Great Yu country. speed will be limited.

This Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing studied astronomy at Qingzhou University, and now they have completely torn off the mysterious veil of the starry sky.

Qian Dafu left and took Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing to the imperial study half an hour later.

Seeing the two, Xiao Ming said directly, How are you preparing?

Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing have been looking forward to this day, and they both said in unison: We are ready, and we can popularize astronomy at any time.

Xiao Ming looked strange, he said, I will secretly send someone to protect you, lest you be beaten to death.

When Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing heard the words, they seemed to be indifferent.

Okay. Xiao Ming praised, I handed over the Renaissance of the Great Yu Kingdom to you, but you don't have to worry, I will always support you.

Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing bowed and said, Yes, Your Majesty.

Having said this, Yan Zhengyi handed a book to Xiao Ming, and he said: Your Majesty, this is what the two of us learned after studying astronomy, just publish the content on Qingzhou Daily.

Xiao Ming took the book. The cover of the book had the words Theory of Celestial Bodies written on the cover. He opened the book and recorded in detail the data on the movement of the celestial bodies observed by the two and their opinions.

If this Tian Bo Lun were published in the newspapers, the two of them would be the target of criticism by Confucian scholars.

And what Xiao Ming needs is this effect. His purpose is to turn the two into truth fighters, thus completely tearing apart the Confucian system.

At that time, when the two charged in front, and he provided support for them in the back, the renaissance of the Great Yu Kingdom would no longer be a problem.

I will give it to the newspaper. Xiao Ming put away the books.

Thank you, Your Majesty. The two bowed and turned to leave the imperial study.

Watching the two leave, Xiao Ming looked contemplative. In fact, the Renaissance movement was not just an astronomical debunking of ignorance.

In fact, it is a subversion of the existing cultural system by a new cultural system, such as the 14th century in Europe, when Europe was dominated by Catholic culture.

Societal culture is at the core of Catholic theology.

Later, with the development of productive forces, the emerging bourgeoisie was dissatisfied with the church's control over the spiritual world, so a group of people subverted church culture by reviving ancient Greek and Roman cultures.

This subversion reached its peak in the sixteenth century, and gradually formed an independent cultural system, the core of which was humanism.

Its core emphasizes people-centered rather than God-centered, affirming the value and dignity of people, advocating that the purpose of life is to pursue happiness in real life, advocating self-righteousness, opposing ignorant superstition theological thinking, and believing that people are The creators and masters of real life, in general, this is a transition from deification to secularization of human beings.

Xiao Ming now also needs Confucianism to step down from the altar and become secular.

But now he uses Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing as weapons to destroy the old cultural system of the Great Yu Kingdom, so a brand new cultural system is needed to replace the old one.

The reason why he took so long for the two to prepare to start the road to the Renaissance is that he has been entangled in the issue of this new cultural system.

In the contemporary era he lived in, compared to the Western humanism with freedom, equality and self-worth as the core, the country where he lived was replaced by a party culture after the old cultural system was destroyed. Strictly speaking, it was the ruling concept of the ruling party.

Under the party culture, the traditional cultural system still exists, and the combination of the two is the characteristic of his era.

Walking out of the imperial study, Xiao Ming looked at the gradually sinking sunset.

After the actions of Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing, he will also take the opportunity to establish the cultural system or core values ​​of the Great Yu Kingdom.

After thinking for a while, he believes that the traditional culture of the Great Yu Kingdom is enough to support the cultural system of the society, but some drawbacks need to be completely eliminated.

His ultimate goal is to make Confucianism purify itself like the Western Reformation, culturally recognize science, oppose ignorance, and advocate the idea of ​​equality for all.

In this way, the cultural system of the Great Yu Kingdom will be rebuilt, and every generation of monarchs in history has come here.

After reading the materials, he found that in history, Confucianism has experienced the Simmons School, Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism, Xinxue, Qiology, Modern Literature, Gongyang School, Prophecy Theology, Ancient Literature School and Exegesis. Confucian culture is different, and it can be seen that Confucian culture has been developing and changing.

And Confucianism sometimes makes corresponding changes in order to flatter the king. In other words, Confucianism is still very aware of current affairs.

Every time the dynasty is changed, the Kong family will always vote for a new owner in time, and Xiao Ming has been waiting for the Kong family to send someone over, but there is still no news.

Although he knew that the Kong family had been observing the situation, it was time to make a choice. If he didn't know the current affairs, he could only do it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming sneered twice, and he called Qian Dafu to send Yan Zhengyi and Huang Yanqing's celestial theory to the newspaper for publication tomorrow.

He didn't believe that the Kong family could still sit still. Now that he was the emperor, he would redefine the rules for the Great Yu Kingdom.

After taking over the theory of celestial bodies, Qian Dafu immediately went to the newspaper office.

At this time, Fan Zeng hadn't gone back, and Fan Zeng was dumbfounded when he saw the celestial body theory sent by Qian Dafu.

After a long silence, he said: This is really unheard of before. If it were published, it would definitely cause an uproar.

You just follow the emperor's orders. If something goes wrong, the emperor will take care of it. Qian Dafu frowned. He knew that Fan Zeng was an old Confucian scholar, and some ideas were deeply ingrained, which made him heavier.

Fan Zeng's forehead was sweating slightly, he nodded and said, Yes, I will have someone print it.

Nodding with satisfaction, Qian Dafu turned and left. He supported Xiao Ming from the beginning to the end. It was with Xiao Ming that he saw the Great Yu Kingdom become strong. Although this celestial theory is a bit shocking, how can it make the Great Yu become strong if it can't cause waves. Yu country has undergone earth-shaking changes?
