"Brother Ren, please go ahead."

Sitting down in the main hall, Ge Yiren personally added some tea for Ren He, with a look of being all ears.

After gently stroking his beard, Ren He said: "after such a long time of research, I find that compared with the former Confucianism, the new Confucianism only removes some dogmas of the three cardinal guides and five constant principles. In addition, it negates the theory of gods and ghosts, which is opposite to science and technology. Generally speaking, the main purpose of the new Confucianism is to make the people of the Empire accept science and technology, popularize science and technology, and make them no longer subject to Confucianism From then on, we can do whatever we want under the laws of the Empire. "

Ge Yiren nodded and Ren He made a good analysis.

"what has the final say is that Xiao Ming himself overthrew Confucianism and denied the spirit and ghost. This is equivalent to denying the divine right of the emperor. So, he is no longer the emperor. So, the emperor is the same as the common people. What is the rule of this world?"

"Yes, since he is not the son of heaven, why should the Empire revere him like a God. "Ge Yiren's eyes narrowed.

But when he thought of something, he said dejectedly, "but what about that? Even if he is not the son of heaven, isn't the power of the Empire in his hands? Who can oppose him! "

"Ha ha ha..." Ren He's smile was a bit mysterious. He got up and walked back and forth for a few steps, pondering and saying: "yes, no one can oppose him now. The reason is that all people are afraid of the supreme power in his hands. The nobles just dare to be angry, but it must have planted resentment in their hearts. As long as the time is ripe, this resentment has a chance Burst out. "

after a pause, he continued:" according to my observation, in addition to the nobility, many tycoons are also quite dissatisfied with Xiao Ming. Although the Empire has been prosperous in industry and Commerce these years, most of the market dividends obtained through the war are taken by Qingzhou chamber of commerce. Businessmen can only follow the chamber of Commerce to eat some leftovers. You and I all know that businessmen are profit-making If we promise them that they can share the market freely in the future, do you think they will support our action of restricting imperial power? "

" certainly. " Ge Yiren said without hesitation, "the Emperor himself has said that if there are three times the profits, the businessmen will do anything in desperation, not to mention the interests are more than three times. If they are allowed to take several positions in the seats restricting the imperial power, they will be more eager to do it."

Ren He clapped his hands. "It seems that brother Ge is enlightened. That's the truth. But these are the ideas of you and me. They can't be realized now. After all, Xiao Ming is so powerful that no one has the courage. "

" yes, I guess many people have been moved by the Business Council. It's just that Xiao Ming's position is too stable. These ideas can only be hidden in his heart. If you want to move this idea, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the next king ascends the throne. "

"It doesn't have to be. It just needs Ge Lao to promote Neo Confucianism so that the people of the empire can accept the ideas of Neo Confucianism and open up their wisdom. Maybe we still have a chance. After all, the people of the world are very easy to fool. We just need to add some private goods to the Neo Confucianism. "

" what kind of private goods? " Ge Yiren asked.

"Nature is freedom, equality and humanistic spirit. Isn't Xiao Ming trying to be equal to scholars, agriculture, industry and Commerce? We will use this to instill these ideas into the people. Even if we are found out, we will only act according to his ideas. It is just a little too much, and he will not be able to hold us accountable. " Ren He said with a smile, "once the people generally accept these ideas, then we will bewitch the nobles and businessmen to use the people who believe in this set of ideas under the banner of fairness, so that our goal can be achieved."

"Well, good, good. "Ge Yiren suddenly realized," the gun is indeed in Xiao Ming's hands, but as a great scholar, we still have a strong influence among the people. Since he is cruel to Xiao Ming, don't blame us for being unjust. "

" Ge Lao's words are serious. We don't want to rebel, but we want to maintain the stability of the Empire. Although the emperor is brilliant, sometimes he will make mistakes. What we want is the right of people to prevent him from making mistakes when he makes mistakes. "

Ge Yiren nodded slowly, "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. In this case, I will make a compromise and admit my mistake to the emperor. If there is no accident, I can resume my original position."

"Brother Ge is really smart. As the saying goes, water drips through stone, and sand gathers to form a tower. If we want to achieve our goal, we have to take our time." Ren He said.

Ge Yiren's eyebrows spread out. At this time, he called the housekeeper to pick up the pen and ink, and immediately wrote a memorial and presented it.

....

In the imperial study, Li San is giving Xiao Ming feedback on the reaction of the nobles in Qingzhou City after the publication of the newspaper.

"Our people said that Princess Pingyang didn't seem to respond much to the decree. It was like facing an ordinary decree. The Duke of song complained a little, but he didn't oppose it fiercely. The Duke of Tang was reproached by the emperor for his involvement in the private school. He didn't dare to have any criticism. The king of Huainan, the king of Yong and the king of Ruyang laughed for a long time And King Yong and King Ruyang also complained "

the reactions of the nobles came back to Xiao Ming, and he had a heart of calculation. Now Wang Xuan is responsible for the overseas intelligence system, while Li San is responsible for the domestic intelligence system.Like all the emperors in the past, Xiao Ming can't be 100% confident of his ministers. After all, people's hearts are full of flesh, and everyone has his own ideas, especially at a time when all kinds of imperial theories are booming.

Therefore, if he wants to see the world clearly, he needs to have a pair of eyes and ears in the Empire, which is Li San's duty. Otherwise, what his empire is like can only be reflected in the memorial, but he can't see the whole picture.

"It seems that most people are discontented." After hearing Li San's words, Xiao Ming frowns. The secret guard's resources are limited. He can't monitor all the nobles. He can only supervise some important nobles. Now the people Li San feeds back are all important people.

"Even so, they finally accepted the complaint. It can be seen that they still dare not conflict with the emperor in this matter." Li San said with a smile.

Then he changed his face, and suddenly said: "but now it seems that more and more people are aware of the existence of the secret guards, and they are much more careful. Many times, the secret guards can't spy on what they are doing. For example, in the morning, Ge Yiren sent all the servants away, which makes it impossible for us to know his reaction."

As soon as his voice fell, Qian Dafu came in and handed a memorial to Xiao Ming.

When he picked up the memorial, Xiao Ming looked strange. "Ge Yiren's face changed fast enough. Now he is fully supporting me."
