The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359 Depose all schools of thought, only respect Confucianism

Chapter 370 Depose all schools of thought, only respect Confucianism
With the strong support of Chen Ziming, a huge caravan set off. They will pass through the Western Regions, enter the Guishuang Empire, then pass through small countries, reach the Parthian Empire, and finally reach the distant Roman Empire.

Chen Ziming is not afraid of attracting the prying eyes of several empires. Today's big man is not afraid of any enemies, and those empires don't have the ability to attack the big man.

Because the distance is too far away, without the current traffic conditions, except for the Guishuang Empire, which can still have the opportunity to compete with the big Han, the other two empires can only look at each other.

Of course, it is also possible to go there by sea, but as far as the current navy of the big man went to the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire, it was also a gift of heads and warmth.

"It doesn't matter, I will talk about these things later, I hope the steam engine can be manufactured." If there is a steam engine, even the lowest-level steam engine, it will be very remarkable.

However, Chen Ziming's main task now is to unify the Central Plains. As for external expansion, it is still early. At least in ten years, Chen Ziming is not going to start the rhythm of the big man's external expansion.

"The new year is coming, I hope everything goes well next year." Chen Ziming can only hope that Jiangdong will start going south next year, otherwise it is not a solution to delay it like this.

This year, Chen Ziming lived very warmly, the family was reunited, and it was rare to have a stable year.Although in the past few years, the Liu Bei Group has been fighting abroad all year round, which has consumed a lot.

But all in all, the development of Liu Bei Group has been making progress, whether it is fiscal revenue or local infrastructure construction, it is still satisfactory.

Liu Bei Group's industrial development is very fast, especially the steel manufacturing industry. Under Chen Ziming's repeated pressure, it has been able to produce very good steel.

Liu Bei Group's weapons and equipment have been upgraded again, and various war weapons have been released. Unfortunately, to Chen Ziming's disappointment, such steel is not bad for making war weapons. As for building houses and iron bridges, it is not qualified at all.

As for Chen Ziming's long-awaited steam engine, although it has made great progress, it cannot be used in real products, which means it cannot be used to increase productivity.

All walks of life, everything, everything is at the grassroots level, and there is still a long way to go, take your time, at least the seeds have taken root for a long time, waiting to germinate, and then grow slowly.

As for education, driven by Chen Ziming's hegemony, the great task of enlightening the people's wisdom has been successfully launched. Chen Ziming believes that after the next generation of big man Ziming has fully grown up, the big man will usher in a period of terrifying expansion.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziming is not afraid of rebellion after the territory of the Han Dynasty becomes larger. After all, the people of the Han Dynasty already have a thought of being a Han Dynasty in their hearts, and they know who they are and what they want.

Just when Chen Ziming was still excited about the slow birth of a great country in his own hands, Liu Bei sent someone to invite him to discuss the matter.

"Depose a hundred schools of thought, and only respect Confucianism!!!" Chen Ziming was furious after reading the letter Liu Bei handed him.

This idea was proposed by Dong Zhongshu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted this idea.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ousted hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. He wanted to use ideological unity to maintain political unity. In order to consolidate the autocratic monarchy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played a positive role in strengthening the centralized feudal autocracy.

But it completely destroyed the cultural atmosphere of academic freedom and open-mindedness since the Warring States Period, which seriously imprisoned people's thinking.Later, the rulers continued to develop Confucianism, making it more suitable for maintaining feudal rule.

This kind of thinking is completely contrary to what Chen Ziming is doing now. Chen Ziming established Linzi Academy not only to break the clan's raid on talents, but also to break the Confucianism's monopoly on education.

So from the beginning, Chen Ziming opened several courses such as mathematics, physics, geography, biology, etc., and Confucianism education was also changed to Chinese, which is called enlightenment education. These students are not qualified to learn Confucianism.

In the end, for the sake of the eyes and ears of the savages, Chen Ziming even asked the students of Linzi College to start as small officials and to engage in positions they are good at after they come out.

After more than ten years of development, these new students have occupied the middle and lower levels of the Liu Bei Group, and a few of them have gradually entered the upper levels.

Everything followed Chen Ziming's strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to eliminate Confucianism's control of the political power from the bottom up, but unexpectedly, the incident still happened now.

This letter proposes to restore Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's ruling thought, respecting Confucianism, all officials must be proficient in Confucianism, and people with other miscellaneous studies are not allowed to hold official positions in the court, at most they can only be small officials to serve Confucianism.

What made Chen Ziming even more angry was that this letter was signed by famous Confucians from various clans and places, as well as those from Linzi Academy who were invited to sit by Liu Bei and Chen Ziming at that time, including Chen Ziming's father-in-law Cai Yong.

Among the ministers in the court, there are many people who participated in it, and they all unanimously demanded that Liu Bei depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone.The recruitment examination that Chen Ziming made can continue, but the content must focus on Confucianism.

Their reason is that only Confucianism can secure the world, and only Confucianism can rule the world with benevolence.

"Ziming." Liu Bei said with a serious face: "You need to be careful at this time, otherwise..."

Of course Chen Ziming understood what Liu Bei meant. There were too many people involved, and they were all rich families from all over the country, and there were even important officials in the court.

"Brother, what do you think?" Chen Ziming is most concerned about Liu Bei's views. If Liu Bei supports this idea of ​​deposing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, then Chen Ziming will be in trouble.

"Hehe." Liu Bei smiled helplessly, and then said: "When Ziming established Linzi Academy, he already explained to me the dangers of Confucianism, and how could I not know that these people have sinister intentions, but they hold important positions, big men, Can't mess it up."

"That's right." Chen Ziming said solemnly: "Big man, don't mess around. But, such calculations should be punished!"

"This is the list of leaders, but you can't move it. If you move it, the big man will be in chaos." Liu Bei handed a list to Chen Ziming. After Chen Ziming read it, his eyes flashed murderously, but he calmed down soon.

"They are all from the proud clan, and they are all members of one party." Chen Ziming also had no choice but to unite these people. Although it is impossible to overthrow Liu Bei's rule, it will make Liu Bei's rule chaotic for a long time.

Fortunately, the army is all in Liu Bei's hands, and in the army, except for a few generals with low official positions, no one else participated, especially no commander-level generals participated.

The military's participation in politics is definitely a taboo in the Liu Bei Group. Once a general participates in it, even if it causes chaos, Chen Ziming will act decisively and take it down immediately.
