In fact, there are far more than some scholars paying attention to it, but the number of scholars is the most popular and the group is the most fierce, so it is a bit conspicuous.

The reason for this is that the scholars are just passing the Tongsheng, and there are still two levels of Juren and Jinshi to take the exam in the future, and they are both stuck in the Juren level. Generally speaking, if Juren can pass the exam, the difference between them and scholars is not a little bit. However, it is difficult to take Juren, and they are stuck here, day and night.

If there are fewer children in their forties and fifties, there will be more scholars in their forties and fifties. Not to mention such a high age, just to say that those scholars in their thirties have almost been exhausted by the Four Books and Five Classics. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for them to study scientific and technological knowledge to take the exam.

More importantly, the previous Four Books and Five Classics were somewhat similar to later liberal arts, and the key was to be able to memorize; while scientific and technological knowledge was similar to later science, and the key was to understand first. The different learning methods made these old scholars even more difficult. In this case, they would naturally be furious.

Of course, it is not only them who want to oppose the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge.

That night, Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory, came to report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, my subordinates found that many officials had abnormal movements. Some were inappropriate words, and even some were writing memorials. I copied a memorial here, so I asked Your Majesty to read it!"

The memorials of officials in the capital can be copied by the Dongchang military service. Obviously, this is definitely not what the master agreed to. It can be seen that the Dongchang has a relatively good control over the officials in the capital. Emperor Chongzhen thought about this in his heart, so he nodded, reached out to take the memorial and read it.

No surprise, this memorial is against the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge, especially emphasizes that half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world, and from ancient times to the present, there has never been any need for scientific and technological knowledge to govern the world. Anyway, I have written a lot of similar words.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced over it briefly, threw it on the desk, and said to Wang Chengen: "When he saw Yan Shenggong coming to the capital, he thought that with the people who took the lead and opposed it, the demons and monsters finally jumped out one by one. It's okay, let them wait tomorrow morning!"

Wang Chengen also understood his words. Now the main ministers in the court, such as the chief minister Wen Tiren, the cabinet minister and the six ministers, did not oppose the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge that the emperor values. Those who have opinions in their hearts buried their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Now the spiritual leader of scholars, Yan Shenggong, came to the capital to oppose this matter. At least those people think so, which gives them courage. Moreover, Yan Shenggong can be said to have been swaying all the way to the capital, and there are so many scholars who oppose scientific and technological knowledge behind him. In this case, the court did not express any expression, and the emperor did not express dissatisfaction. It can be seen that Yan Shenggong is still quite heavy. Since this is the case, with Yan Shenggong taking the lead, they naturally have the courage to jump out and oppose it.

As for those who have become officials, they also jumped out to oppose it. After counting the list of abnormal movements, Wang Chengen also knew it.

Most of these officials are older. In the new assessment measures of the Ministry of Personnel, especially those involving scientific and technological knowledge, they are relatively low, which affects their future positions. If these people focus on scientific and technological knowledge, they are not very willing. They always think that it is as good as before! After all, they are just a group of people who are not as good as before.

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Wang Chengen knew that the emperor knew it, so he withdrew with confidence.

However, there are still many people who are worried. After all, that is the representative of scholars in the world. Before going to bed, Empress Zhou was accompanying him to sleep, and he was lying in the arms of Emperor Chongzhen. He asked with some concern: "I heard that the morning court will tell you that Mr. Yan is going to summon that Mr. Yan?"

The previous emperors prohibited the harem from interfering in politics, but there was no absolutes for Emperor Chongzhen, and it was nothing to say occasionally. Otherwise, he would not have sorted out the surveillance records in the chat group by the queen. At this time, when he heard Queen Zhou’s questioning, he didn’t care and touched her and said, “Well, that’s right!”

When Empress Zhou heard this, she raised her head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why should you summon me alone in the morning court?"

"Haha, are you worried that he will oppose the scientific and technological knowledge I promoted?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and pat her smooth back and asked.

The prince’s masters are all the backbone of scientific and technological knowledge. Judging from the situations obtained by the prince these days, it seems that the prince is very interested in scientific and technological knowledge. He has excitedly mentioned to Queen Zhou several times that the experiments of several masters are so magical, but the principle behind them is so simple. It’s so amazing!

Empress Zhou was also satisfied with this. Didn’t Your Majesty master scientific and technological knowledge? As a result, the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger. It can be seen that the emperor mastered scientific and technological knowledge was of great help to the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Empress Zhou did not understand the logic, she reversed the content she saw through her eyes. Therefore, with this conclusion, she was happy that the prince could have a good rest in scientific and technological knowledge.

However, now that Yan Shenggong has entered Beijing, she cannot not know such a sensational thing even in the deep palace. As a result, she is worried. After all, Yan Shenggong is different from ordinary people. He is a descendant of Confucius and a spiritual leader of scholars all over the world. He has great appeal and influence on scholars all over the world.

One thing is also obvious. The Confucianism represented by the Kong family is completely different from the scientific and technological knowledge promoted by the emperor. Yan Shenggong came to the capital to meet the saint, and must have seen the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge in the Ming Dynasty, which made him feel uneasy, so he came to persuade him. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a sensation.

In this way, if the emperor could not withstand the pressure and was the first to be in it, he would likely change the prince's master and affect the prince's side. This is what Empress Zhou did not want to see. Therefore, she was a little worried and raised it in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen could understand her thoughts after thinking a little. Therefore, without waiting for Empress Zhou to speak, he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, science and technology knowledge is beneficial to the country and the people. No matter what happens, I will vigorously promote it. In fact, I am asking for my arrival in Beijing. It is the best he can cooperate. Even if he cannot cooperate, it is nothing. Just Yan Shenggong, how could he be my opponent!"

Speaking of this, he hugged Queen Zhou hard and said, "The only opponent that I can pay attention to is God! And this scientific and technological knowledge is to understand God, master God, and make God the most powerful weapon used by people. I also need to use these to achieve my goal of the stars and seas. If you say too much, you don't understand anyway, just watch it!"

Queen Zhou was indeed confused when she heard this. Is it related to God? Also, what is the starry sea? Why do you feel that what Your Majesty said is a bit unfathomable! But she could still understand the last sentence, just to reassure her that His Majesty had everything.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhou pressed tightly against Emperor Chongzhen's chest, listened to his powerful heartbeat, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I understand!"

Compared with people like Empress Zhou who are in the deep palace, there are still people in the outer court who can see through it. For example, the chief assistant Wen Tiren.

The Wen family naturally knew about such a sensational thing outside. They were also a little worried about this, but the housekeeper mentioned this matter with some concern. After all, scientific and technological knowledge was promoted when Wen Tiren was the chief assistant. If the final result was a counterattack of Confucianism, Wen Tiren would definitely be jointly and severally responsible and would not be the chief assistant again.

Wen Tiren looked at the bright moon in the night sky and said lightly: "When Zi Shengming is today, his prestige is chasing Taizu Chengzu, and even surpasses him faintly. With today's Yan Shenggong, it is impossible to shake the emperor. As long as the emperor insists, everything is nothing!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at his housekeeper. Seeing that there seemed to be a look of worry on his face, he continued: "Your Majesty invented cement, steam engines, steam ships, hot air balloons and other objects that have greatly influenced each other, which all subvert people's imagination. Behind these things, they can be explained by scientific and technological knowledge. These pieces have had a significant and far-reaching impact on the Ming Dynasty and are the strongest impact on Confucianism."

"If there were no such things, the emperor was just taking out scientific and technological knowledge out of thin air to promote it, and if Yan Shenggong promptly called on scholars all over the world to oppose it, there would be a possibility of success! But... "Wen Tiren said this, a hint of contempt appeared on his face, and looked up at Mingyue, and said lightly: "The general situation has been achieved. Even if Yan Shenggong opposes it with all his might, it will only cause a little wave. In the end, what will happen? "

After hearing this, the housekeeper thought silently for a moment, finally felt relieved and said happily: "The master is right, so the villain is relieved!"

Of course, there are only a few people who can see through like Wen Tiren. Otherwise, the Yan Sheng Gong would not have caused such a big sensation when he entered Beijing.

Early the next morning, many scholars gathered at the entrance of the station, waiting for Yan Shenggong to come out.

These scholars are too early and there is a curfew on the street. It is too late. Yan Shenggong has entered the Forbidden City. Speaking of which, they have also received the favor of Emperor Chongzhen. If Emperor Chongzhen had not adjusted the time of the morning court, the officials who participated in the morning court would set off before dawn, these scholars might not have been able to wait here.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and the gate of the station opened wide and came out one after another. As soon as I looked, I knew that it was Yan Shenggong who was going to attend the court. Suddenly, the scholars waiting outside rushed over and shouted one by one, trying to communicate with the people in the sedan chair.

"Yan Shenggong, the students are waiting here for a long time!"

"Students are strong for Yan Shenggong!"

“…”

People who didn't know looked at it were all passionate and thought that Yan Shenggong was going to be executed. I don't know if these excited scholars remembered the ancient saying of "sacrificing their lives for righteousness" when they were building the city.

Although the door was very lively, with the sounds higher and more excited, Yan Shenggong never showed up. These scholars did not dare to stop Yan Shenggong from attending court.

Looking at the back of Yan Shenggong's carriage, someone suddenly shouted: "Everyone, let's go to Fengtianmen together."

"Let's go, Yan Shenggong is a saint in the Forbidden City. We will cheer for Yan Shenggong at Fengtianmen!"

"Yes, let all civil and military officials see what the saints teach! It's time, the disciples of Confucius and Mencius should all stand up!"

“…”

With the enthusiasm of the crowd, these scholars raised their heads and strode towards Fengtianmen, as if they were looking at death as if they were home. When ordinary people saw it, they might be scared or moved by them?

When they arrived at Fengtian Gate, all civil and military officials gathered here, and then listened to the sound of bells and drums to enter the Forbidden City to participate in the morning court. A large group of scholars rushed to Fengtian Gate, which naturally attracted the attention of all civil and military officials.

Some of the scholars seemed quite radical and even wanted to come here. If it weren't for the Jinyiwei on duty, they would have pounced on him. Even so, they still greeted him from time to time.

"Yan Shenggong asked for his appointment as a saint. Sir, don't forget that you are a disciple of Saint Confucius!"

"Yes, Yan Sheng Gong is in the face of the saint, please ask all of you!"

“…”

Many people in the civil and military officials watched this scene and were all energetic. They touched the memorials in their sleeves and thought to themselves that they were not alone! They were all eye-catching people. They looked at each other and found that there were more people like themselves, which was even more excited.

When they saw Duke Yan Sheng got out of the sedan chair and walked to the forefront of civil and military officials, they all greeted him enthusiastically.

"Yan Shenggong, the Shandong Censor of the Student Censorate, Kong Debin, is polite!"

"Ma Deli, a member of the Ministry of Revenue, has met Yan Shenggong!"

“…”

When Yan Shenggong walked by, it was not only them, but others also greeted him, including the six ministers, cabinet assistants, etc. However, Yan Shenggong always had no expression on his face and did not accept anyone's greetings. He just walked to his own position and stood there without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Kong Debin and others felt even more at ease, thinking that Yan Shenggong was trying his best to make a desperate move, and he would definitely refute fallacies and do so in front of the emperor, and to ensure that Confucianism and Taoism remain unchanged! Otherwise, why would it be so serious? It seems that there will be a verbal battle this morning court today, leaving its name to future generations!

One thing that made them a little unhappy was that as the sky was getting brighter, there were more people in Fengtianmen Square. At this time, there were quarrels coming from there, and there seemed to be scholars, craftsmen, etc. who supported scientific and technological knowledge and quarrel with those scholars who came here at the beginning.

However, before they had time to tell the difference between the other side, the sound of bells and drums sounded, and all civil and military officials entered the Forbidden City, and the morning court began soon!
Chapter completed!
