Chapter 36: The dispute between scholars

After Li Dongyang said this, many people pondered for a while and said, "It's reasonable."

Those who can pass the Jinshi exam are all first-class smart people.

The greatest contribution of Neo-Confucianism is that it has the same morality and customs and a system of values, which the court will not easily shake. Moreover, although Confucianism has so many schools, its foundation is in the Thirteen Classics, and it is nothing more than a different interpretation.

For thoughts, there is naturally no accurate answer.

However, for exams, it is very uncomfortable to have no accurate answers. Not only the examiners are uncomfortable, but also the candidates are uncomfortable.

The biggest problem now is that there is no mature school to replace the position of Legalism.

In this way, as Li Dongyang said, reducing the weight of the eight-legged essay and increasing the weight of the policy theory is a good solution.

After all, many people think that the text exam only tests eight-legged essays.

In fact, there are many imperial examinations, but what I really value is the first one, that is, the eight-legged essay.

"It won't take long," Chen Xianzhang said: "As long as a new saint comes out, he will definitely change the exam after he eliminates the disadvantages of science."

The words were not finished yet. A voice interjected from behind and said, "It's a whole bunch of nonsense. Zhu Zi's learning is superb. In fact, what you can understand is nothing more than a villain who deceives the emperor and can do what you are doing today."

Chen Xianzhang stood up suddenly and said, "What kind of gentleman? I think Senior Xue is just like this. He can do it, but he can't do it, can he mess around, is he considered a mess?"

"What did you say?" A big man from Shaanxi opposite also occupied it.

Li Dongyang suddenly felt something was wrong, so he narrowed his body and avoided a foot.

Almost at the same time, countless bowls and chopsticks flew over.

Chen Xianzhang was covered in juice, red and green, and was in a mess. Chen Xianzhang took a deep breath and wanted to endure it. After all, all the officials in the court are there now.

If you fight with someone here, the result will definitely not be good.

But he didn't listen, and the Shaanxi people across the street shouted: "The Nanman, you can only talk."

Chen Xianzhang could no longer bear it, so he picked up the things and smashed them over. This seemed to be a signal. These new Jinshis immediately fought together and fought each other.

Li Dongyang rolled and crawled, and arrived behind a table, looked at the soup and water on his body, and said, "My new clothes."

Li Dongyang was born in a military family in the Beijing Guard. Now that he has taken the imperial examination, he has lost his military status. However, it is not easy to live in the capital, even if he is a native Beijinger.

Li Dongyang has always been in a tight life.

This time, when adulteration was such an important occasion, the family prepared a new piece of clothing, but they didn't want to be dirty with wine and food. That was extremely distressing.

You should know that the fabrics of this era are much worse than those of later generations, including fading, dehydration, disconnection, etc.

Although these stains can be washed off, the clothes will not be as good as new. How could Li Dongyang be happy?

This reaction is actually just the aftermath of the debate in the Biyong Palace.

In fact, it is not just these new Jinshi, but many ministers also have different differences due to different ideas at this moment. It is just that they are solemn and self-centered and will not cause trouble.

The only new Jinshi were the most glorious period in their lives, and they just became an official and were about to show off, so they caused such a thing.

This is certainly the usual style of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty still had the habit of being incompatible with the full martial arts. Not to mention these young new Jinshis.

In addition, it is Zhu Qizhen's reaction to Neo-Confucianism.

The ideological system established by Emperor Taizong was cracked by Zhu Qizhen with a heavy hammer. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but one thing is certain that for the entire Ming Dynasty scholars and officials, they began to split.

Of course.

Many people want to say that it seems that the Ming Dynasty scholar-official group is often just a conceptual thing, and they have never been united.

Yes, they have never been united.

But they can still talk in a discourse system. Neo-Confucianism is this discourse system.

Now the shaken status of Neo-Confucianism and official studies has been seen in people's hearts. With the shaken hearts of people, the gap between the various factions of the Ming Dynasty will be much deeper than the simple conflict of interest before.

As for whether it will eventually develop into a bloody feud between the two parties in the Northern Song Dynasty, I don’t know.

A farce, it's quick to make a fuss and it's quick to collect.

After all, so many people are here, these new Jinshi also care about their reputation and official positions.

Li Dongyang returned to his home with the embarrassed Chen Xianzhang.

After all, Cheng Minzheng has his own family, and his father is the Minister of War, but Chen Xianzhang is not the case. Unless he returns to the Guangdong Guild Hall, there is no place to change his clothes.

After the two changed their clothes.

After this farce, the relationship between the two became close.

The two continued the topic just now, and Li Dongyang said: "Do you think the Confucianism will be restored in the future?"

Chen Xianzhang said: "No, the classics have no potential anymore and new knowledge is needed in the future."

The two of them argued again, and no one could tell whoever was.

Chen Xianzhang asked: "What are you going to do in the future?"

Li Dongyang said: "What are you doing? Be an official and support your family, or you can write some articles, novels, etc."

The theme of novels has become popular since the Ming Pao came out. It seems that Zhu Qizhen is a bad thing, so Ming Pao naturally needs to have a novel section.

The Ming Dynasty was the era when novels were prevalent. However, after Zhu Qizhen promoted it, novels became more popular.

Li Dongyang was very literary and famous in history. He was a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty. But when he found that writing novels was just a good meal, he started writing novels.

Many things at home are bought by writing novels.

Even if Li Dongyang passed the Jinshi exam, the same is true.

After all, Li Dongyang is an honest official, and he spends a lot of money in Beijing. If you want to be looser, you have to make some extra money.

Li Dongyang asked Chen Xianzhang and said, "What do you want to do?"

Chen Xianzhang said with bright eyes: "Be a saint."

"Neo-Confucianism is unusable, and Confucianism has become a pile of waste paper. The practical learning advocated by Master Qiu and the learning that is practical and practical in the world are not systematic. It is precisely when people need to inherit the past and carry forward Confucianism."

"Who else is the one who is the one who is the one who is me?"

Another impact of this meeting.

If an authority is defeated, more authority will naturally breed to occupy this high ground.

Nowadays, no theory of any one can have such a deep foundation in Mind. Even the imperial theories proposed by Zhu Qizhen may not be able to truly replace Neo-Confucianism.

The future situation is probably that Neo-Confucianism will die without being rigid, and other factions will be ready to take power.

This kind of chaos is naturally a dangerous hidden danger in politics. But in the ideological world, there are countless sparks of excitement.

Chen Xianzhang failed several times, and his idea of ​​becoming an official has long been gone. He is often in charge of Wu and Bi, and is influenced by Wu and Bi. He wants to specialize in the knowledge of saints and grow slowly.

Now I have encountered such a thing again.

Chen Xianzhang naturally made a decision. If he had been a permanent official position, he would not be as famous as a master who would live forever. He was not going to do this official position anymore. Instead, he wanted to establish an article for the ages.

Li Dongyang was a little stunned and said, "Good ambition."

Chen Xianzhang said: "Brother Li doesn't think I'm arrogant."

Li Dongyang said: "No, this is just right. And today, who is the only one who can do it?"

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen was a little anxious when he turned around.

Many old ministers cannot keep up with their ideological system, so the responsibility for truly reorganizing the sage studies is on the younger generation of Confucians.

Li Dongyang may not have this idea in his mind.

Many years later, Li Dongyang's new classics, Chen Xianzhang's mind studies, Qiu Jun's practical studies, and other schools of thought, all of which were large and small, competing for the Ming Dynasty, and it was a brilliant page in the history of Chinese thought.

And this time it all originated from today.

The two of them looked at the sky and immediately stood up and rushed to the Imperial College. Because the time was almost over, the Treatise on the Sutra in the afternoon was about to begin.

They went too late and wouldn't get a good seat.
