Chapter 73 Wang Ji turned against him

In front of the Lingji Palace, under the shade of ancient trees.

Everyone has already settled down.

Qu Jingchun coughed a few times and stood up. He said, "Everyone, you are so popular because of the imperial examination. The imperial examination is a national plan and must be understood. Today, I am recommended by all the wise men and organized this conference today. Please speak freely and discuss national affairs and have the heart of peace in the world."

Qu Jingchun has now worked in the Hanlin Academy. Although he has become a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy with his seniority, he can be in charge of the imperial lectures, but is Jiajing the kind of person who lets others teach him?

So it's still a false position.

This time, Qu Jingchun was the result of weighing the pros and cons of both sides. Although everyone hosted the same thing this time, Qu Jingchun was born in the Hanlin Academy and sat on the bench in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years. He has a deep connection. Qu Jingchun and Zhou Mengchen also have a passion. They can even be regarded as master-disciple friendship, not to mention that Qu Jingchun himself has a status in the literary world and can be regarded as a master of the time. His attainments in the eight-legged essay are also the top in the world. Anyone who wants to take the imperial examination must spend his articles.

He has a low political status and has friendships between both parties. He also has a reputation in the literary world. As a candidate for a neutral organization, it is perfect.

Moreover, Qu Jingchun himself has a complicated relationship with the imperial examination.

Qu Jingchun's fame and fortune in his lifetime was probably in the eight-legged essay. Most of his life had been in vain and had no political achievements, and his articles were the best. It can be said that if the eight-legged essay were abolished, Qu Jingchun's status would decline a lot. But similarly, Qu Jingchun's attainments in the eight-legged essay were outstanding at that time. Because of this, he saw more clearly the essence of the eight-legged essay, but it was just an article game.

Only by carrying the truth with the text is the right reason. However, the eight-legged essays have too few materials and too many restrictions. They have long been separated from the essence of the article and have become a word game. Being able to play well is certainly a powerful person, but if you can't play it, it doesn't mean it's not possible.

This has lost the original intention of the imperial court to select materials.

One is his capital to settle down, and the other is his conscience. This makes Qu Jingchun a little embarrassed. Now he is also cautious in his neutrality.

Under the auspices of Qu Jingchun, many people spoke and expressed their ideas. Most of them were young scholars. After all, it was difficult to let heavyweights play at the beginning.

Of course, we should give these young scholars some opportunities.

Soon several young soldiers talked and argued with each other. It could be regarded as creating the atmosphere.

Zhou Mengchen glanced at his eyes and saw someone standing up. It was not someone else. It was Yang Jie. Zhou Mengchen raised his lips slightly, wanting to see how his disciple performed. Yang Jie spoke completely differently.

When others speak, they are all about Zi's poems, which quote the classics. But Yang Jie said as soon as he spoke, he was the data. He said: "As far as I know, among the college entrance examinations, the provincial entrance examinations, and the imperial examinations, the imperial examinations are the simplest, with the admission rate being one in ten, and the college entrance examinations has the largest gap. In the Jiangnan generation, one in one hundred and one in two hundred, it is normal. However, in some places in the southwest and northwest, there are many people who have not even filled up the quota, and there are different provincial entrance examinations, which are generally one in ten, one in thirty, and one in fifty."

"Many friends can prove this."

"As a farmer in the morning, and ascends to the emperor's hall in the evening, the generals and ministers are not born, so men should be self-reliant. It is certainly good. But who has ever thought about those who fail to take the title? Many families offer a family to a scholar. Once they fail, the whole family will be unable to survive. I have seen many people who fail, some are crazy, some are thrown into the water, and some are hanging on the beam. It is simply miserable."

"I think these people failed, but they were all scholars of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they studied hard for ten years and had knowledge in their hearts. Why is this so?"

"And Zhang Yuan went to the Western Xia to suffer from the Song Dynasty. One or two of them took risks. Could it be that they would not suffer from the Ming Dynasty?"

Suddenly, one person stood up and said, "Yang Sheng's words are wrong. Because of Zhang Yuan's affairs, he will never be dismissed from the examination. Is it because he is afraid that these failed people will rebel? From then on, the children's examination will be fully admitted. How can the court use these people? It is impossible."

Yang Jie said: "This brother said it well. It is impossible and undesirable to do so. However, I want to ask another question: saints are all-encompassing. They are not allowed to have anything, and the choice of the court should be a talent that can be achieved by the court. The talent is not enough to be taken by the court, but it is still enough to make a living, better than ordinary people who do not study. Why are there poor scholars who are humiliated by others? Why? Is saints enough to govern the court, but not enough to govern a whole house?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was talking about it.

Everyone was talking about it.

Zhou Mengchen nodded slightly after hearing this. Wang Shizhen, who was beside him, came over and said, "Your disciple is so scary?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "A newborn calf, a newborn calf."

Zhou Mengchen, He understood that Yang Jie was changing his concepts. Because what he said was right, the knowledge of governing the country was never the same as the method of success for a person. It was like an economist guiding the development of a country, but stock trading was likely to lose money.

Not to mention that Confucianism lacks its own country in governing the country, and there is no teaching at all about how a person makes a living. Of course, some people will stand out on their own, but they have nothing to do with Confucianism.

But who dares to say this fact?

Who dares to say that Confucianism is not suitable for everyone? Who dares to say that Confucianism cannot cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world? Who is seeking death? Even if Zhou Mengchen promotes the new theory, he must find a school from Confucianism to change his appearance. After all, after the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was dominant, and it was already deeply rooted and unshakable, and it was fundamentally political correctness.

So no one dared to come forward to speak.

Those who understand naturally won’t say it, and those who don’t understand can’t figure out the problem.

Yang Jie continued: "This is the eight-legged article, not the study of governing affairs. Students think that the study of imperial examinations should join the study of governing affairs. In this way, students who participate in the imperial examinations can safeguard the country and build a country with their own lives."

As soon as Yang Jie said this, many people looked at Zhou Mengchen. Xu Jie silently asked Zhang Juzheng beside him and said, "Who is this child?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Yang Jie is Yang Boxiu's son, and now he is also under Zhou Mengchen's disciple."

Xu Jie said: "It turns out that he is Bo Xiu's son, the son of an old friend, and has the style of an old man. It's just-----"

Yang Jue was guilty of Yan Zhijian and died in prison. Xu Jie also admired him. Now that he has grown his son, he is naturally a little relieved. At the same time, he saw that his old friend's son became a disciple of the enemy, and he also sighed for a while.

"What this child Yang said is right, but something is wrong." Wang Ji said slowly, saying: "There are disadvantages in the knowledge of eight essays. But it should not be supplemented by the learning of governing affairs. It should be supplemented by the learning of governing the heart."

"A saint is called a saint, a saint is lost, a silly man is called a wise man, a wise man is called a gentleman, and a talent is called a villain. If a gentleman cannot get a saint, a gentleman will give him a saint, and a gentleman will get a fool. What is the case? A gentleman uses talent to be good, while a villain uses talent to be evil. Those who use talent to be good will all be good; those who use talent to be evil will all be evil will all be evil. Even if a fool wants to be bad, his wisdom cannot be perfect, and his strength cannot be defeated. It is like a milk dog fighting against a man, and a person can control it. A villain is enough to fulfill his wisdom.

The treacherous and brave enough to determine the violence, is the tiger with wings, and isn’t there any harm! Virtue is what people are strict about, while talent is loved by people. Those who love are easy to be close, and those who are strict are easy to be distracted. Therefore, those who observe are often blinded by talent and left behind virtue. Since ancient times, many people in the country have more talent but less virtue, and so many people have subverted it. How can they be wise? Therefore, if those who are a country and a family can judge the distinction between talent and virtue and know the order of succession, how can they lose people? This is Sima Gong’s words. It tells the way of the court to use people."

"So, the court should rather have virtue than talent than talent."

"Now in the court, all the virtuous people are driven away, and the jackals are full of their crowns. This is the lack of learning to cure the mind and let material desires blind their minds and natures. This is the most urgent thing for the world to decline."

As soon as Wang Ji said this, Xu Jie's face changed. He almost spurted out from his teeth: "Wang Longxi, how dare you."

Facts have proved that Wang Ji really dared.
