"Your Highness misunderstood me. I didn't mean that."
As they walk through the corridor of the Bowen college, Pang Yukun's face is full of meditation.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming said, "just say what you have to say. When you have become so kind, you are not as cheerful as you used to be as a speech officer."
Pang Yukun gave a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, this matter involves the Confucius family, and I dare not say it lightly. After all, I respect the legalist school. If I say it, I will inevitably be suspected of upsetting Confucianism."
Xiao Ming has never asked Pang Yukun about his academic achievements. Now Pang Yukun is surprised. "No wonder you can't get the important position in the court. I'm afraid that's one of the reasons."
"It's just that the Legalists are harsh, and it's easy to break when they're hard. That's just the weakness of the lower officials." Said Pang.
Xiao Ming laughed, but he suddenly remembered something. He said, "no, since you respect Legalists, how can you take part in the imperial examination? "
after hearing this, Pang Yukun said with a bitter smile," I'm very ashamed. In order to enter the court, I have to bend my heart and study hard. But what I really like in my heart is legalism, because in my opinion, only legalism can prosper the country in this troubled times. "
" I see. " Xiao Ming comes from modern times. He treats Legalists and Confucianists equally, but he has no extreme opinion, because he follows pragmatism.
It's mainly good for development, and can be used. However, if this kind of learning affects the development, he has to pay attention to it.
The topic here is a bit crooked. Xiao Ming continued to ask, "so why did Pang Shoufu mention the Confucius family in Qufu?"
"the political reform is said to have shocked the Confucius family in Qufu, and his Highness's many actions in feudalism seem to have been criticized. When he saw the medical school today, the lower official suddenly thought of it and said it freely."
"Well, I don't rely on the scholar bureaucrats to rule the fiefdoms. What can I do even if he says something about the Kong family?" said Xiao Ming lightly. Wang Xuan sent him some news about the relationship between the Kong family in Qufu.
As Pang Yukun said, in Qufu, where the Confucius family is located, he has been criticized a lot, especially for his emphasis on commerce and his placing of strange skills before the four books and five classics, which goes against the tenets of Confucianism.
However, in his opinion, the most discontented of these scholars is that he has never visited the Confucius' family in Qufu since he came to Qingzhou.
When Xiao Wenxuan ascended the throne, he even visited Qufu temple in person, which shows the high status of the Confucius family in Qufu.
As an emperor, he didn't pay attention to the Kong family, didn't visit the Kong family, and didn't appoint a group of officials under the Kong family. Xiao Ming's behavior really upset the Kong family.
Pang Yukun said carefully, "Your Highness is right. However, in this political reform, there are so many official vacancies. According to the news from the official, the Confucius family seems to be very interested, and their children are eager to try."
"Do you mean they are going to ask for an official from the king? "Xiao Ming asked.
"It should be, but I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Oh? "Xiao Ming frowned.
In fact, he has been avoiding conflicts with the Confucius family in Qufu, because now he has a weak foundation. Confucianism is still orthodox in the state of Dayu. Although he wants to break the hat, he does not dare to act rashly for a while.
After all, in Dayu middle school, the three religions are the cornerstone of the society. These three religions are divided into Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Now Confucianism is not only an idea, but an official based belief.
The people and officials of Dayu state are all believers of Confucianism. To put it more seriously, this is the national religion of all dynasties. It is the so-called Confucianism as a theory, Confucianism as a class, and Confucianism as a belief that complement each other and influence this era.
That's what I thought. The dynasties changed, and the Confucius family in Qufu, like the holy land, never suffered from war and was worshipped by the imperial court.
Since he became the first person under Xiao Ming, Pang Yukun has broken his heart. However, he has some selfishness in this matter, that is, he peddles Legalism to Xiao Ming. In his opinion, today's Confucianism can no longer lead the great Yu state to rejuvenation, so we should advocate legalism.
Originally, he didn't mention legalism because he was worried that Xiao Ming, like others, regarded Confucianism as the national religion. However, in the process of political reform, after Xiao Ming made the supervisory yuan independent and clarified the judicial status, he felt that Xiao Ming seemed to have his own unique idea, so he finally summoned up the courage to mention it.
Now Xiao Ming's tone makes him more convinced that Xiao Ming is a different vassal.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid they want your highness to follow the Confucian doctrine and ask him to take back some government decrees that are not in line with Confucianism. In the view of my highness, Confucianism has its merits and demerits. The merits lie in the responsibility of regulating the family, governing the country and pacifying the world. The demerits lie in being too pedantic, depressing people's minds and restraining thoughts, The junior official boldly suggested that a law school should be established in Bowen college to reproduce the state of contention of a hundred schools of thought in those years. " Said Pang.Although Pang Yukun didn't say it clearly, the meaning of his words was very clear, that is to let Xiao Ming attach importance to other theories to counter the influence of Confucianism in officialdom.
Now Xiao Ming finally understands why Pang Yukun didn't try his best to stop his extremely bold decree, instead, he helped him carry it out. It turns out that Pang Yukun is just a legalist hiding under the appearance of Confucianism.
He understood that Pang Yukun's proposal to establish a law school was also a premonition of the crisis, but his words were in line with Xiao Ming's idea, so he said: "Pang Shoufu is right. A hundred schools of thought can show the strength and difference of Qingzhou. In this case, I will allow you to prepare for the establishment of a law school and separate the law school from the school of government affairs. "
Pang Yukun was overjoyed and said," Your Highness is very kind and wise. Thank you for your grace. "
"You don't have to thank me first. Since my king has promised you to set up a law school, you can't be a shrinking turtle when my king is criticized by Confucianism in the future." Xiao Ming said that he promised Pang Yukun to balance the dominance of Confucianism.
In fact, for Xiao Ming, what he most hopes to see is that Confucianism can be used by him, so that Confucianism can carry out the new Confucianism he set up, and completely change the national way of thinking for thousands of years.
However, Confucianism is the foundation of the state of Chongqing. Now he is only in xiaoqingzhou, and he can't change the whole Confucian class. So he can only temporarily set up a hundred schools of thought to balance the Confucian class in the fiefdom. After all, he can't use too much medicine to cure diseases.
