Emperor Shengyuan had received the "Sub-collection Notes" presented by Taishi Ling as early as half a month ago, and there were many civil servants from poor families who wanted to elect Xu Guangzhi as the chief examiner of the current subject.
Obviously, he had refuted it twice before, and reduced Xu Guangzhi's reputation to the mud, but he still had the ability to jump out, and each time he jumped harder than the other. This shows how ambitious this person is, how tough he is, and how high his ability is. Perhaps because of the fact that he was defeated by the people because of his dependence on the powerful last time, this time he learned a lesson and took control of the people's hearts first, and replaced the target with the world's students.
How many students are there in the world? Thousands of thousands, endless follow-up, and how many of them can get the guidance of famous teachers? One in a million! Xu Guangzhi took this into consideration before he dared to surpass many great Confucian giants and write the "Sub-collection Commentary", because he knew that as long as this book spread, the poor students all over the world would become his loyal fans. Immediately afterwards, he published an article expounding his views on "teaching the Tao", branding himself as a pioneer who dared to be the first and promoting Confucianism, and degraded those who rebuked him to be the dog of Shu and Wu Niu, completely blocking the mouths of the literati of the world.
This punch and two punches smashed down one after another, and it really opened a way for him to reach the sky. Because of his wife, Emperor Shengyuan hated Wu Jiwu, and immediately wanted to dismiss the memorial, but because of his high reputation, if he suppressed him or chilled the hearts of the students all over the world, he could only delay.
Whenever Taishi Ling asked about it, Emperor Shengyuan said that he had not fully understood the "Subset Commentary" and had to ponder it. After all, the promotion of the compulsory reading list for the imperial examination was a major event. However, he had already made up his mind, and just waited for the emperor's approval to join hands with Xu Guangzhi to write a few more Confucian annotated books, to gain a name for himself, win over students, and expand his power.
Some people are waiting, and Emperor Shengyuan is also waiting. From what he knew about his wife, she seldom hated a person, but once she hated it, she would never die. In the first two rounds, he fought with Xu Guangzhi to the end, and there is no reason why there was no movement this time, so he sent a secret guard to inquire, and sure enough, he got the news that his wife was also writing a book.
Warriors fight with swords, swords and shadows, and blood and rain; literati fight with words and pen, piercing clouds and cracking stones. Madam, is this going to start a civil war with Xu Guangzhi? Thinking of this, Emperor Shengyuan was looking forward to it, and he also read the "Subset Notes" carefully, trying to find out the mistakes.
In this way, time naturally passed quickly. Before I knew it, half a month had passed. Emperor Shengyuan found seven or eight doubts, recorded it in a booklet, and waited for his wife to ask for advice in the future, but one day he received a stack of manuscripts from the dark guard. Said to be the masterpiece of Mrs.
"It's finished so soon?" Emperor Shengyuan was surprised, he opened two pages and couldn't help but chuckle. Madam, Madam, apart from being a rogue, hypocritical, and duplicitous, you are also arrogant, and your writing is like a knife. You really don’t give Xu Guangzhi a chance to survive!
"Learn and learn from time to time", Xu Guangzhi misunderstood the words "shi" and "xi", and actually asked his wife to go through all of Kong Sheng's works to prove the true meaning of the two words. To let go of the slightest negligence.
Emperor Shengyuan could almost imagine her reading at night with the lamp on and writing hard; he could also imagine the demeanor of her white fingertips groping down word by word. She was really unequivocal, and when she decided to do it, she tried to be the best at it.
Taking out his booklet and comparing it with his wife's manuscript, Emperor Shengyuan was ashamed. He thought that he had worked hard and had great benefits, but compared with his wife, he was still far behind. It is expected that the students outside who take Xu Guangzhi as their teachers are even lower.
When Emperor Sheng Yuan secretly decided to increase the difficulty of the imperial examination and select the real talents, another dark guard came to report that his wife's article had provoked a literary war. If there is an article that attracts their attention, they will immediately write an article to refute or comment.
The literary thought of a scholar in the literary world is very comparable. Because there is a mountain of books hidden in his chest, he can write it down when he has inspiration. One is more profound than one, and one is more subtle. The writers seemed to be competing. First, they used three or four successes to test each other. When they saw that their opponents were very strong, they showed their real skills. Later, more and more masters participated. In order not to be inferior, they took out the bottom of the box 's baby.
This made it cheap for the students who came to watch. They felt that this article was exquisite, and that article was unsurpassed. Even if they had a few hundred pairs of eyes, they couldn't read it, and their hearts were burning with anxiety.
Emperor Shengyuan did not expect that his wife would make such a big noise, but at present it is a good thing, and immediately dispatched the Guards to protect the text list, and one article was not allowed to be overlaid on another article. ; Others are not allowed to pick it up at will; the eight stone walls are not enough to stick, and eight wooden walls are added; after nightfall, all articles have to be copied and backed up, and finally registered.
Since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains have the habit of cherishing their brooms. They love to hide and tuck any secret skills they have mastered. Even their own disciples have to keep their hands. Therefore, many skills or academics have gradually declined. Such a grand occasion that you are chasing after me, knowing everything, is simply unheard and unseen.
In terms of inciting people, the lady knows this the most, but Xu Guangzhi was dragged over by her and used as a target, and suffered a huge dark loss in vain. Didn't you see that each of these Confucian scholars had to step on Xu Guangzhi's foot in the article? It is also a trend brought by Mrs.
While paying attention to the progress of the situation, Emperor Sheng Yuan was so impressed with his wife that he was relieved when he saw that she had quietly hidden away and did not participate in the follow-up literary battle. Now that her nickname has been exposed, if she mixes it up again, she may be suspected of being mad by the younger generation. But her age and gender just gave her the most comprehensive protection. Just one sentence "Don't care about women" can stop the mouths of many literary giants and make her knowledge more noticeable.
A woman is only three points high, and she can get seven points of praise if she spreads it out, while a wife is eight times high. At this time, no one can belittle her against their conscience. However, in the future, she will use the name of a hostel person to post again, and her authority and influence may be greatly reduced. People in the world despise women, this is a common practice and cannot be changed.
When Madam becomes the Empress of Wei State, she will no longer be treated by anyone, and I will make her the most honorable woman in the world. Thinking of this, Emperor Shengyuan finally calmed down, tore the note that recorded the slander of the lady into pieces, and threw it into the brazier and burned it.
----
The next day, there was silence in the court hall. The several civil servants who had previously urged Xu Guangzhi to enter office were silent, sweating like a waterfall, secretly praying that half a month passed, and the emperor had forgotten their memorials. But things didn't go as planned, and I saw that the emperor took out a book, which was undoubtedly the "Sub-collection Commentary", and took out a thick stack of manuscripts, and said solemnly, "Yesterday, a literary war broke out in Yanjing, which made me really open. From my perspective, it turns out that the battle between literary title and academics is no less powerful than the battle between cities and territories. I spent a day and a night reading your masterpieces, and what I got at twelve hours was far better than years of hard work. The Chinese ink is agitated, and the aftertaste is endless!"
He threw the "Subset Notes" aside, his tone was cold, "I almost got persecuted by this Xu Weng again. The last time I discussed the law and ruined my dynasty, this time I wrote a book and messed up my essay test. If I approve you In the memorial, this book is listed as one of the must-read items for the imperial examination, which is equivalent to letting Xu's words surpass the holy words; making Xu's Neo-Confucianism authoritarian in Wei's literary world. Ten or twenty years later, which scholar can understand the real Thinking of Confucius and Mencius? He has become Xu Guangzhi's mouthpiece and fan!"
Violently brushing off the book, he said word by word, "Jianxue students are all disciples of the emperor, not the disciples of others! If anyone wants to form gangs in the country and outside, and use power for personal gain, don't blame me for shooting thunder! Xu Guangzhi's ambition Bo Bo, the plan is not small, I really dare not use it, whoever recommends him to the office in the future, first smooth his own black gauze hat and then talk about it!"
I can't stand Xu Guangzhi's recruitment of disciples, and most of the civil servants monopolize academics. Today, I am ready to stop him from entering office, but I didn't expect the emperor to completely block his future and his future, which is really heartwarming.
"Your Majesty is wise!" One person bowed down and everyone surrendered, and the matter was killed in one sentence.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then I saw the emperor and the teacher walked forward, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. Although Xu Guangzhi is famous for fishing, he has also set a precedent, seeking good teachers for students all over the world. The emperor calms down his anger. My ministers felt the thirst for knowledge among the students of Wei State, and implored the emperor to convene the world's Confucian scholars to create a collection of Confucianism, which will be passed on to the present and future generations. Don't let the culture of the Central Plains decline and decline, and don't let our teacher's family wither." The words fell deeply and knelt down reverently.
Emperor Shengyuan has a keen sense of political smell, and immediately realized the huge benefits hidden in what the emperor said. Casting the collection of Confucianism can establish the status of Confucianism in the country as quickly as possible, and lay a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of the art of imperialism; casting the collection of a hundred schools of thought, this huge temptation will surely attract countless capable and different scholars to gather in Yanjing, for the sake of used by the court.
After the war, although Wei owned vast land, most of the people fled outside the customs or overseas, lest the barbarians would come to power and harm the Han people; and Xu Guangzhi shouted the slogan of "respecting Confucianism" and scared away all the scholars. What does Wei Guo lack most now? In addition to government income is talent.
The Jiuli people are good at martial arts but not proficient in literature, and they are not loyal to Emperor Shengyuan. He can't use them and dare not use them, and there are too few poor officials under his command, so that he can't completely eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family on the government, just because they It has monopolized academics and talents.
Legalists, soldiers, doctors, historians, peasants, Mohists… Scholars of all schools and hundreds of schools are the pillars of the country. If they can gather in Yanjing and pour into the court, what will happen to the Hu people? What's wrong with Xue Thief? Wei Guo will definitely be powerful within five years!
