Chapter 1056 The prince goes up the mountain
In mid-December at the end of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Fang Er's version of "Theory of Heaven" was published vigorously, with the first print of 100,000 copies. Well, I ordered this to do this, a total of 100,000 copies. Although the cost was not much, it still shocked the scholars of the Tang Dynasty. At least my most popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" did not print so many at the beginning.
Of course, this young master is both an author, a publisher, and a bookseller. I was holding all three links in my hand, so naturally I couldn't stop me. The new book I printed was spread out and sold through the sales channels I had mastered on the same day. Although there were only a few hundred copies sold on the first day, on the second day, the entire Chang'an academic community was like someone throwing a bamboo cannon into a hornet's nest and exploded...
Well, perhaps only the word "explosion" can be used to describe the current situation. The great earthquake in the academic world of the Tang Dynasty caused by this master's "Evolution of Heaven" has an absolute sensational effect, including those who like to praise others, those who ridicule others, those who scold, those who support others, those who have a neutral attitude think that this statement is really new, and in another aspect, it proves the feasibility of the existence and development of metaphysics. It only takes research and investigation to know the authenticity of this new theory.
This type of people is the statement of representatives of various sects of the Tang Dynasty's metaphysics. They at least think that I am much more cute and sincere than those hypocrites who gradually evolved Confucianism into natural emotions that bind and suppress people, and also become tools for hypocrites to seek fame and reputation.
Some people also think that I am bragging and farting. I am criticizing the argument of the unity of earth, nature, man and man in Confucianism, trying to overthrow the theories and ideas of the sages, and portraying people's hearts as sinister and despicable... Well, in short, in a word, most of this school are Confucian scholars. They criticize and make a surging attitude.
On the contrary, what makes me strange is that the attitude of the two Imperial College Priests before and after the Tang Dynasty. Kong Yingda, the former Imperial College Priests who are studying the Chinese pinyin of the Tang Dynasty, is one of the pioneers who are currently attacking me. The current Imperial College Priests Linghu De unexpectedly remained silent. These two are representative figures of my Tang Dynasty's Chinese studies. Their quietness and movement really make me feel a little magical. Could it be that Linghu De changed his evil and went to good? Or was he excited by the domineering spirit of this prince and bowed to the ground and called his master?
Well, I am relieved to ignore these for the time being that it does not mean that no one is on my side. I think that my son has already realized the great way of heaven and earth. They also believe that all things in the world do follow this principle. These people, in addition to my son's direct disciples, have all the students I personally educated at the Honglu Temple.
What surprised me was that the students of the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty were simply jumping out one after another, and vigorously promoting my doctrine in major publications such as the Journal of the Military Academy, the Tang Dynasty Times Weekly and the Tang Dynasty Daily. It seemed that my doctrine had received great response and recognition in the Military Academy.
However, after thinking about it, I realized that if the students in the Military Academy don’t even understand this simple truth, why should they hold their swords and cut barbarians everywhere? It is because they often compete with each other and often fight on the brink of life and death, and fight for each other to survive. The fate of the loser either kneels at the feet of the successful or perishes, so it is easier for others to understand the truth of "success in nature and survival of the fittest" than others.
It seems that the strategy of this young master who emphasized that the cultural courses of the military academy must not be lost has finally begun to show his power. Soldiers should have thoughts and wills. Their power is no less than those officials who use literature to enter politics. They are even stronger and more aware of the laws of survival in this world.
These days, because it is the New Year, I have been on New Year's Day, so I don't need to go out, nor to Weinan. In addition, I have told my family that I will lead two loyal servants to stay in the villa on the back mountain of Qujiang Academy alone. I just need to stay in the house all day long, and continue to study and think about the loopholes in my master's work. It's like a boxer, who must make all the best preparations when he is on the boxing ring.
My disciples will deliver various newspapers and magazines to my hands on time every day, bringing various debates, and the comments on this matter during Chang'an during this period. Today, the time to deliver newspapers has come, but the person who came is not my disciples, but the prince Li Zhi. Well, the prince just took a few close-fitting guards and jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and waved to me who was standing on the closed balcony on the second floor. The one in my hand should be today's newspaper.
"Why is this guy here?" I said to myself with some confusion. When I turned my head, Bonalljin was sitting cross-legged on the thick and warm carpet, taking a nap all the time. This guy, winter is coming, and it seems that it is time for him to gain weight. These days, every day, except for half an hour of activity in the gym behind with me in the morning, the rest of the time was either eating or sleeping. Fang Cheng was much better than this guy.
Li Zhihou walked straight to the second floor with a solid face, laughed at me twice, and after throwing today's newspaper past me, he sat on the thick and warm carpet, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, squinted his eyes and savored it slowly before opening his eyes: "Brother Jun, you are such a good method. After throwing out a shocking thunder, you hid here. Could it be that Master wants to sit and watch the world rolling and the world is bumpy?"
"What do you think?" I sat cross-legged across from Li Zhi and smiled mysteriously. In the past few days, I was actually very nervous. However, when I saw Li Zhi's appearance, I felt relieved. Not to mention those false scholars, or those kind of corrupt scholars whose academic thoughts have become rigid and fixed, and there is no progress, for me, I can take them one by one by one, and refute them in a complete embarrassment.
But there is one thing I cannot challenge, that is, the imperial power represented by Uncle Li. The reason why I did not tell Li Zhi about "Theory of Heaven" to Uncle Li from the beginning, but instead implemented my new doctrine by killing first and then reporting. It was because I was afraid that the imperial power, which was at the peak of the politically institutionalized social system, had suppressed this new doctrine by some of the main contents of Confucianism, was the pinnacle of the new doctrine, so I wanted to promote it before they could react.
As long as Mars scatters, it will inevitably ignite a prairie fire. Just like now, thanks to the improvement of printing technology, "The Evolution of Heaven" has spread to several prefectures around Chang'an in just a few days. The sensation caused can no longer be described in words. Now the only thing I worry about is that the emperor is angry...
I had long wanted to throw out this second edition of Fang Er's "Evolution and Ethics" but at that time I had no academic achievements at all. In addition, at that time, we were still a stranger in the eyes of scholars. If we rashly threw out such a theory, it would be very likely that we would be beaten to death with one stick. Now, when I dig a hoe in the east and a hammer in the west, the situation has been quite beneficial to me.
Although I have reason to believe that the Tang Dynasty founded by Uncle Li is definitely not an era when people would confiscate their homes and destroy people due to speech and theory, I am still a little nervous. After all, the things involved in "The Evolution of Heaven" also point directly to the political system, so there are dangers, but I don't know how many of them are.
However, one thing is certain that the three political measures that the Tang Dynasty's tax reform, military reform and official reform were enough to make the Tang Dynasty fall into the string. I can say without shame that all of this was caused by me. Before Uncle Li wanted to buy me, he should also think about it, would I do this on purpose to overthrow the rule of the Tang Dynasty?
Moreover, if Uncle Li, who is wise and powerful, can understand the current political structure and system crises and flaws from another perspective, it actually has given a new concept to the political system of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is good or good, it can only be known after Uncle Li understands it.
Today, the one who appeared in front of me was still smiling lewdly, avoiding the despicable Prince of the Tang Dynasty. I already knew that my business had broken through the most dangerous layer. I took a sip of slightly cool tea, stretched comfortably, and then asked Li Zhi with a smile: "What do you think of your father?"
"My father is really worried. I don't know how much effort it took to wipe your butt for Brother Jun. Alas, even the prince is so tired all day long that he almost spit out his tongue to dissipate heat." Li Zhi said very exaggeratedly. Well, the metaphor is quite vivid, especially Li Zhi can make the canine animals have no sweat glands, and their bodies are full of hair, and the heat dissipation is very poor. He can only rely on his tongue to dissipate heat in front of me, which shows that he still pays attention to listening carefully in his daily study.
