Although you have to maintain your demeanor, you still have to have a counterattack, and you can't let this person take the initiative, otherwise you will fall into his trap. If you lose someone here today, then you will be doomed in the future.

So Wei Dazhong stood on the stage so elegantly, looked at Song Yingxing, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Do you think this is wrong?" At that time, Confucius gave lectures, and he also had 3,000 disciples, and everyone knew the benefits of lecturing. As for the seowon, it is a place where knowledge is passed on, shouldn't it be defended?

"Isn't my teacher doing such a thing for the sake of the world's readers? Isn't it for the sake of Daming? ”

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and glanced coldly at Wei Dazhong on the stage.

Not to mention anything else, this hat alone is very powerful.

This Wei Dazhong first carried Confucius out, which was putting pressure on Song Yingxing. To put it bluntly, it is to ask Song Yingxing not to talk nonsense, or to let him have nothing to say.

Zhu Youxiao threw a handful of candied fruit into his mouth, and then looked at Song Yingxing, who was standing straight in front of him, with interest, wondering what he would say.

Since Song Yingxing is here today, he is obviously well prepared, and naturally he will not be frightened by Wei Dazhong's words, and he will definitely refute it, and even fight back fiercely. So Zhu Youxiao waited to see the excitement.

Sure enough, Song Yingxing took a leisurely step forward and said loudly: "Did Your Majesty say that you will not be allowed to lecture?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Wei Dazhong was also stunned, and then anyone with an ugly face could be stunned.

Because he couldn't say anything about this matter, it involved His Majesty today, and it was a relatively sensitive topic; Second, there is really nothing to say, because His Majesty does not prohibit lectures, but only does not allow everyone to give lectures, and at the same time does not allow anyone to lecture on anything other than the subject privately.

But for Wei Dazhong, it doesn't really matter whether they are forbidden to give lectures or not, what matters is whether they can give lectures or not.

Obviously, the imperial court was targeting them before, but they couldn't fight back with their own positions, so they naturally wanted to pull the world's scholars.

But now this Song Yingxing wants to tear this matter apart, it is simply an unforgivable sin!

"Naturally, Your Majesty did not say that he would not be allowed to give lectures, but those traitors did so. What is it that they only let their own people teach, but not others? This is a traitor! Of course we have to oppose them. Wei Dazhong raised his head and said loudly with righteous indignation.

"So, who's going to judge what's to be said and what's not to be said?" Song Yingxing continued to take a step forward without hurry, and said loudly again: "Is it up to you to judge?" Or is it the people present who will judge? Or is it His Majesty the present day to judge? ”

Song Yingxing said this loudly, and the expression on his face was very serious.

Everyone present looked at each other, how should this question be answered?

There is actually no way to answer. In private, of course, they feel that they should have the final say; But on this occasion, no one dared to say so publicly.

If you really say that, it will be tantamount to making a big rebellious statement in public.

Wei Dazhong took a step forward, straightened his back, and raised his head and said, "As long as it is a sage's knowledge, it will naturally be able to speak." ”

This sentence, Wei Dazhong thinks that there is nothing wrong with what he said, no matter where he puts it, it makes sense, and His Majesty can't say anything.

He stared at Song Yingxing with burning eyes, and his mind was thinking quickly about how to drive Song Yingxing away, and it was best to let him lose face.

"Saint?" Song Yingxing sneered, and suddenly raised his voice suddenly: "Who is the saint?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the people at the scene were in an uproar.

However, Song Yingxing did not stop, and continued: "In the eyes of our Confucian disciples, is Sage Confucius a sage, Mencius a sage, and Xunzi a sage? Can anyone tell it? ”

Hearing this, everyone hesitated.

Because it is impossible to say this in this matter, Xunzi is different from Confucius and Meng. There are many differences in their thinking, and they are even more different from the science of the Song Dynasty, and there is a very big conflict. On the contrary, Xunzi's thought has a lot in common with Guan Xue.

Of course, that can't be said by everyone. I can talk about it, but you can't say it, to put it bluntly, it's a struggle for the right to speak.

Wei Dazhong looked at Song Yingxing proudly and said: "That is naturally a saint worthy of enjoying the Confucian Temple, only those who enter the Confucian Temple can be called a saint, and no one else can." ”

Song Yingxing looked at Wei Dazhong and suddenly wanted to laugh.

He felt that he had not come in vain today. Xunzi did not enter the Confucian Temple, but was driven out.

Xunzi advocated: "Etiquette and law are carried out simultaneously, and the king is unified".

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty declared that "the Han family has its own system, and it is a miscellaneous overlord." ”

The Han family system was a miscellaneous use of kings, and Han Confucianism was also a synthesis of Confucianism and law, and Xunzi was highly respected in the ideological and academic circles at that time.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the rulers paid special attention to Xunzi and his ideas when reflecting on the historical lessons of the Sui Dynasty and Tang Xing.

From the middle and late Tang dynasties, Confucianism began to admire Mencius, and Xunzi began to be questioned by Confucianism.

In the Song Dynasty, Cheng Zhu Lixue rose. Theorists fiercely criticized Xunzi's theory of the separation of heaven and man and the theory of sexual evil.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism at that time intended to cancel Xunzi's qualification for Confucian temples.

In the ninth year of Jiajing, the emperor approved Zhang Xuanjian's inscription to depose Xunzi, and Xunzi was disqualified from worshipping and was driven out of the Confucian Temple.

Wei Dazhong's rebuttal point of view is that only the doctrines of those who are in the Confucian Temple can be taught, and the doctrines of people outside the Confucian Temple cannot be taught.

He completely blocked Xunzi's road, and as for Zhang Zai of Guan Xue, it was even more impossible. So this is Wei Dazhong's rebuttal of Song Yingxing's words, he feels that this article has blocked Song Yingxing, leaving the other party with no way out.

But when Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the side, heard this, he was a little happy.

That's a great idea.

Only the knowledge of those who were sacrificed in the Temple of Confucius is allowed to be preached, so can I do something about it?

drove out all the people he didn't like from the Confucian Temple, such as Zhu Xi of science. And then let the person you like enter the Confucian Temple?

This is not just a matter of reputation, but also a practical benefit. Consideration can be given to formulating a strategy whereby only the teachings of those who are worthy of the Confucian temple can be used as the test questions for the imperial examination, which directly cuts off the path for science students to take the imperial examination.

It's a good idea, but it's a bit of a big impact.

Zhu Youxiao pondered, and felt more and more that this was a good idea. But this pot is not easy to carry!

If you really want to do this, it is estimated that someone will really scold yourself for being unconscious. Is it looking for someone to take the blame?

But who can carry this pot?

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Song Yingxing, then shook his head.

Forget it, you can't pit Song Yingxing, this is a talent.

At this time, Wei Dazhong could not have imagined that he had come up with a good idea for His Majesty today, but he dug a big hole for himself.

He was looking at Song Yingxing triumphantly.

Song Yingxing's face did not change, but took a step forward, and asked with a gentle smile: "That is to say, you also agree that not everyone can teach, not all doctrines can be taught, and restrictions must be made, and it is best to talk about the doctrines of those saints in the Confucian Temple." Isn't that the truth?

As soon as this sentence came out, the smile on Wei Dazhong's face instantly froze.

Wei Dazhong glanced at Song Yingxing and felt that he was being wound in.

Wei Dazhong had no way to answer this question. Because what they were defending was the right to teach, which was to demand that everyone be able to speak, as before.

What the courtiers in the court had to do was to restrict lectures, and His Majesty said so, and he is doing it now. If you are also this idea, then what are you against?

How could Wei Dazhong admit this idea?

But he also said before that he had to be taught by the sages in the Confucian Temple.

"Then how do you think your teacher is not wrong?" Song Yingxing continued.

"Since you feel that not everyone can talk about it, and not all doctrines can be spoken, should you go to the book and tell your majesty what you think? Your teachers are directly against and directly against Your Majesty, what are they doing here? ”

"Your teacher is not for Daming, nor for the world's readers, but for yourself!"

"The ministers in the court are not aimed at the world's scholars, nor at lecturing, nor at the academy, otherwise His Majesty would not have used the money to establish the academy. They're only targeting you, it's just you Donglin Party! ”

"You're in a faction! You are corrupt and pervert the law! But you don't admit it, and you have to pull all the readers, you are simply shameless! ”

"Now you still say that your teacher did nothing wrong? Do you still say that your teacher is not selfish? Do you still say that your teacher is for the Ming Dynasty and for the world's readers? ”

Song Yingxing took a step forward as soon as he said a word, his face was swollen red, his eyes widened, and he loudly scolded Wei Dazhong on the stage.

Wei Dazhong was also very angry at this time, and the green tendons on his neck burst out. He knew that if he couldn't suppress this Song Yingxing, then his reputation would be over, and there would be no place to stand from now on.

So Wei Dazhong said loudly: "We are also talking about the study of saints!" The corrupt officials in the court, that's them. There is nothing wrong with learning, only those corrupt officials do wrong! ”

It's cutting.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Dazhong coldly, compared to his teacher, this Wei Dazhong seemed to be more decisive.

"My teacher is against those traitors, and he is against the world's scholars. My teacher didn't do anything wrong, it was the traitors who were wrong. You are here to open your eyes for traitors, what are your intentions? Are you in league with them? ”

"If you open your eyes for a traitor, you will inevitably be a traitor when you enter the officialdom. I'm ashamed to be with you for the kind of people like you! ”

Song Yingxing looked at Wei Dazhong, suddenly laughed, and said loudly: "It's really ridiculous." Don't you dare admit what you just said? You just said that only the doctrine of the saints in the Confucian Temple is allowed to be taught, isn't it a standard lecture? ”

"Aren't you doing differently than your teacher? Your teacher contradicted Your Majesty, not to standardize teaching, but to defend your teaching, so selfish, he said it was for the sake of the Ming scholars? ”

After saying this, Song Yingxing laughed louder, turned his eyes to glare, glared at the vulgar villain on the stage and said: "If you can't say me, just say that I am a traitor, and say that I am a traitor." Then let me ask you, who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor? What do you say? ”
