As soon as the prince said this, the entire court was suffocated and silent, but then there was the sound of discussion, and it was like a bustle deep in a busy city.

"It's so ridiculous! Yin and Yang, five elements, two rituals and four phases, Tai Chi and Bagua are the knowledge of Taoism. All dynasties have been based on Confucianism, with etiquette, loyalty, and filial piety as the basis for scientific examination. How can this miscellaneous book of the Book of Changes be included in the scientific examination? Your Majesty, please don’t make a mistake!"

Hong Xuanji was originally the Crown Prince's Grand Master. Together with the Crown Prince's Taibao and the Crown Prince's Master, he was one of the Three Masters of the East Palace. He was even the head of the Three Masters of the East Palace. Logically speaking, he was from the Crown Prince's East Palace. He should be in the same camp as the Crown Prince and needed to support the Crown Prince. That's right.

But everyone in the civil and military dynasty didn't know that Hong Xuanji would only be loyal to Emperor Qian Yang Pan, and would never have any support for the prince. He only obeyed the emperor's orders, so the prince and Hong Xuanji didn't have much contact. The prince didn't think he could win over Grand Master Hong, who was the number one person in the dynasty.

However, Hong Xuanji was the prince's grand master after all, and he usually respected the prince Yang Yuan to a certain extent. He had never directly reprimanded the prince like he did today. Apparently, the prince Yang Yuan wanted to declare the Book of Changes as Confucian orthodoxy and list it in the scientific examination questions. , but it touched the sore point of Hong Xuanji. Who doesn’t know that although Hong Xuanji and Hong Yi are father and son, they are incompatible with each other and are hostile to each other to the death. In addition, Hong Xuanji is a Neo-Confucian master who attaches great importance to ethical principles and the five elements of Yin and Yang. The Taoist doctrine was extremely repulsive, and it was even believed that Taoist outsiders were all crooked and evil. Such people would never be allowed to be in the court. They even made a petition to withdraw the rewards of Fang Xiandao and expel them from the court.

"Who said that yin and yang, the five elements, the two rituals and the four phases, Tai Chi and Bagua are Taoist knowledge! Hong Xuanji, your academic knowledge is impure! Yin and yang are the principles of heaven, the five elements are the truth, celestial phenomena and geography are easy, what are the miscellaneous books? I read your book A few theoretical books are just miscellaneous books, misinterpreting the way of saints and sages, and distorting etiquette!"

The one who spoke out was the Prince's disciple, Wang Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He was a die-hard loyal to the Prince and had joined the Prince's East Palace early on. Naturally, he would speak out to help the Prince refute Hong Xuanji.

A stern look flashed in Hong Xuanji's eyes. He didn't expect that before Li Shenguang, who had always been angry with him in the past, had spoken, the Minister of Rites would speak up first. He secretly thought about it, seeing how hard the prince's power was now working so hard to speak for Hong Yi. , the two must be colluding together.

The prince Yang Yuan lost power, and Hong Yi also withdrew from the court. Now they have formed an alliance to work together. It seems that the prince's announcement today is to announce the news, and to give Hong Yi a big gift.

The Crown Prince and Hong Yi had huge conflicts and quarrels at the beginning, but now they have colluded together because their goals are not conflicting. The Crown Prince wants to rise to the top and stabilize his status as the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and Hong Yi He wanted to bring down the pair of emperors Qian Emperor and Hong Xuanji, and then deal with the Jade Prince Yang Qian, so the two hit it off immediately, abandoned their past grudges, and came together for their own benefit.

Wang Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, ignored Hong Xuanji's stern look that wanted to kill someone, but directly bowed to Emperor Qian and said:

"Your Majesty, the Book of Changes is a classic between heaven and earth. Every word is precious, and the wisdom is extraordinary. It can benefit readers a lot. If it can be included in the scientific examination, it will be of great benefit to the court and the world. I am a humble minister. It has the same meaning as His Majesty the Crown Prince, please list the I Ching as a scientific scripture!"

"Wei Chen also agrees with His Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion."

Another cabinet minister stood up. When everyone saw it, it was Wu Yan, a master of Confucianism. He had studied the Book of Changes in the past two years and written many books. He was very effective in inferring the changes in Bagua disasters. Even the Queen Mother often Ask him to come into the palace to divine some things.

"I also agree that the Book of Changes is profound and profound. If scholars from all over the world can read it and make insights, it will be very useful for talent selection."

Another minister stood up.

At this time, Prince Yang Yuan coughed slightly again, and immediately many officials from his faction knelt down and played to Emperor Qian.

"I also hope that the imperial court will include the Book of Changes in the scientific examination of scriptures."

Suddenly, the roaring fire in the imperial court was like a raging fire, with the potential to start a prairie fire, approaching Emperor Qian and Hong Xuanji, causing them to frown.

Originally, there were many parties in the court. The princes were in one party, the princes and princes were in their own party, Hong Xuanji was in another party, and there were several cabinet ministers who were not party-minded and were profoundly knowledgeable and neutral.

But these few neutral factions have now come out to support Yi Xue, which has also caused these parties to fall silent. They feel that there is a vague general trend in the court, rolling like a tide.

"Um?"

Emperor Qian Yang Pan looked at several loyal cabinet ministers and moved slightly. At this time, he truly understood the power of Yi Xue, which made his throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Being affected, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

After Qian Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji looked at each other, they felt that the situation was unstoppable and announced helplessly.

"Since several cabinet ministers have agreed to this matter, I agree with it. However, Wang Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is old and has no energy anymore. From today on, you will no longer serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and will serve in the royal library. Chief Editor."

"Wow!"

There was a small uproar in the court, which was tantamount to dismissing Wang Jin from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This also shows that Yang Pan's attitude was completely biased towards Hong Xuanji, and transferred the contradiction of the Book of Changes to the Ministry of Personnel Shangshu Wang Jin's body reduced the prince's strength and also vaguely warned the cabinet ministers.

"Although my father's hand is very beautiful, I can't agree with it!"

Although Yang Qian had returned to the court and was in charge of the rites department, he rarely spoke or acted. Now that he saw Hong Yi and the prince getting involved, he immediately became vigilant. Naturally, he would not let Hong Yi achieve his goal so easily. The target, after all, Hong Yi himself is a man without a king and a father. If his "Book of Changes" becomes a scientific scripture, he can get involved in the imperial court's talent selection plan in the future, and the book of rebels Instead, it became a scripture for the imperial court to select talents, which would become a joke to the whole world. Yang Qian could not afford to lose this person.

Furthermore, although the "Book of Changes" is exquisite, it is not suitable as a scripture for imperial examinations. After all, it mostly contains content derived from the Yi Dao, which is not beneficial to the rule of the court. On the contrary, it will allow some Taoist outsiders to become important ministers. At that time, I am afraid that the dynasty will no longer be in dynasty, Huang and Lao's learning will prevail, and governance by doing nothing will definitely be of no benefit to the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Yang Qian suddenly stepped out and retorted directly.
