I send the system behind the scenes

Chapter 197 New Interpretation

in consciousness space

Lin Hang looked at the South China Sea battlefield on the 9th plane. Well, the scene was indeed magnificent. The ironclad ship Chang Yuchun was on was constantly launching interceptor net bombs, one after another.

When the British fleet chose to approach Guangdong with all its strength and planned to capture the thief first, it had already assumed the risk of this radical military plan.

Of course, the British army doesn't think so, maybe even if they think so, they don't care, after all, the difference in combat power between the two sides is really too big.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has the ability to travel between the two worlds at will, saw the strategy of the British army through "deduction" on the Ming plane.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang fine-tuned the position of the interception net bomb, planning to tie a pocket for the British ocean-going navy, with the mouth of the pocket facing the British army, and waited for the British army to rush into the pocket.

The plan went very smoothly. Zhu Yuanzhang on plane No. 1 just finished the court meeting. While using the "deduction" function to watch the movements of the British army in the late Qing Dynasty, he ignored the cabinet ministers who were sitting next to him.

Well, even if he gave the seat himself, the cabinet minister only sat on half of his buttocks, with his hands on his knees, looking like a schoolboy who made a mistake and was waiting for his teacher to criticize him.

Do I look that scary?Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, picked up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" on his desk, and asked his cronies to hand it to the cabinet ministers.

The cabinet minister took the "Analects of Confucius" in a daze, flipped through it a little bit, um, there are many comments on it, this font is, Your Majesty, this is a comment written by His Majesty himself.

What does it mean?His Majesty specially asked him to stay after the Great Court Meeting, isn't he going to beat him up?

Then the thousand-word apology letter I typed in my heart is useless?

Moreover, it was written by His Majesty himself, which made the cabinet minister's already straight back even stiffer. His Majesty asked himself to read these comments, which definitely has deep meaning.

There are many annotations, um, they are all interpretations, but His Majesty does not have any annotations in the original text of "The Analects of Confucius", which means that His Majesty wants to pay more attention to the interpretation of "The Analects of Confucius".

These interpretations were finalized by Zhu Xi, a master of Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty, and they have been used to this day. The scientific examinations of the Ming Dynasty are also based on this, but your majesty now...

The cabinet ministers carefully read the annotations written by His Majesty. The content of the annotations, um, is a praise of the original text of "The Analects of Confucius", and praises the profoundness of Confucius and Mencius.

But there are also undisguised dissatisfaction with the interpretation. It is inappropriate to say dissatisfaction, it should be said to be disappointment. Yes, His Majesty expressed a little disappointment with Zhu Xi's interpretation.

The reason is that His Majesty felt that Zhu Xi's interpretation did not fully explain the profoundness of Confucius and Mencius thought, or that His Majesty felt that Confucius and Mencius thought should be further explained based on Zhu Xi's interpretation.

That is to say, His Majesty wants someone who can inherit and develop the work of interpreting Confucian classics, but now His Majesty leaves himself alone and shows himself the annotated Analects.

That means, this job should be entrusted to me. The cabinet minister who understood His Majesty's meaning almost came up without a breath, and his face blushed abruptly under Yuxia.

My good fellow, my Majesty, that is Zhu Xi, one of the masters of Confucianism, my level of research on Confucian classics is far from that of Zhu Xi.

I just reached the level of the imperial examination, relying on the art of writing, I can be promoted, more is the ability to deal with government affairs and figure out the meaning, and it has nothing to do with learning!

The cabinet minister felt that he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and suddenly felt that it would be better for His Majesty to reprimand him instead of letting him do something he was not good at, and he would definitely mess it up.

I must ask His Majesty to take back the order, no, it is not an order, His Majesty is just hinting to himself, there is no oral order yet, there is a chance.

Does Zhu Yuanzhang know that cabinet ministers are not good at learning?Of course, I know that the reason why the cabinet minister is given this task is because the cabinet minister controls people's hearts.

This has nothing to do with learning, as long as the level is about the same, this new interpretation is not for those who devote themselves to studying knowledge, but for the common people and students of scientific examinations.

Turn their minds around first. As for those in the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, the benefits brought by the great voyage will make them choose to support the new interpretation against their conscience.

The cronies who handed the annotated "Analects of Confucius" to the cabinet ministers did not leave directly, because the cronies knew that His Majesty now lacked someone who could remind the ministers.

And that person must be me, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't be annotating "The Analects of Confucius" while he was waiting by his side, while muttering to himself as if he was addicted to reading a book.

Those words are for myself. Your Majesty feels that the interpretation of Confucian classics is a bit outdated and weak, and needs to be tougher.

Instead, I recall in my mind some words that Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself when he was waiting for orders by his side when he was making annotations.

After looking at Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was resting with his eyes closed. Then, what His Majesty meant was clear.

The confidant leaned down slightly, and reminded softly: "Master Ge, His Majesty has made up his mind and has an oral order, please go back, it is better to write the letter as soon as possible."

The cabinet minister sighed, there was nothing he could do.
