One thousand one hundred and forty-eight meetings of the Yellow Dragon Palace
Yuan Si knew very well what would happen if this happened.
This is the same as the deposition of the Hundred Schools, the Shiqu Pavilion Conference and the White Tiger View Conference of that year, the winner has everything, and the loser has nothing.
At that time, the hundred schools of thought contended, and later fourteen family laws, until now, the emperor only allowed five family laws to be converted into sage laws to remain in the world, and the others were all deposed.
At that time, whether it was the deposition of Confucianism by the Hundred Schools, or the Shiqu Pavilion Conference and the White Tiger View Conference, it was a battlefield where there was no smoke of gunpowder, and under the banner of academic exchanges, what was done was a desperate thing.
Everyone knows how many academic factions have disappeared without a trace.
The so-called academic conference is nothing but a division of interests, and whoever is more suitable, more in line with the ideas and opinions of the ruler, will remain in the world, and whoever is not suitable will be finished.
And in this process, the emperor undoubtedly played a huge, even dominant, role.
Only a strong, unified emperor could use his prestige and power to reorganize the country's academic thought when he needed it.
The emperor had to be strong and have enough resources to make the academic sect see the benefits.
When the academic sects saw the benefits, they naturally rushed to beg the emperor to choose themselves and not others, because the emperor was strong and powerful, and could play a huge role in the political situation, so that he could decide who to choose and who not to choose.
The emperor needed the academic sect to construct the idea of the state according to its own ideas, so as to conform to the rule.
Academic sects need political interests to tell their protégés - abandon him, follow me, and have meat to eat.
It was essentially a compromise between the two sides, but not every emperor could do so.
There were two major academic reorganizations in the Han Dynasty, each time a few families rejoiced and a few perished, and each time the surviving system would be more stable and sustainable, and unless there was a major problem, the emperor would not be given the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.
Now, however, is the time when something goes wrong.
The Han Dynasty, which maintained this system, fell, and a new Wei Empire was established.
The founding emperor of the Wei Empire was powerful and prestigious, and the Wei Empire had just been established in ruins, and everything was so new.
The new dynasty needs a new atmosphere, and the new emperor also wants to form the most suitable guiding ideology for his rule, and it just so happens that this emperor is still very strong, and has just defeated a fairly strong traditional enemy.
It's good, everything falls into place.
A new integration of ideas began.
His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to continue to tolerate the existence of the Five Classics and the Fourteen Family Laws, and felt that the current ideological system could not satisfy his own ideas.
In fact, this kind of thing has already given some omen, and some old people of the scholar clan who have lived for a long time put forward such views when the emperor was in the northern expedition to Xianbei.
They felt that it was not necessary for the emperor to personally lead his troops deep into Mobei to defeat Xianbei, but he still went.
What is the purpose?
Obviously, once he obtains a huge historical victory in the total annihilation of Xianbei, he will inevitably start his own cultural governance plan when his martial arts have reached the pinnacle.
Any emperor who is more concerned about his future reputation will be quite concerned about his martial arts, in terms of martial arts, the emperor is just challenging himself, and in terms of cultural governance, the emperor still has many predecessors to learn.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, or Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.
Now it seems that the emperors of our Great Wei Empire really plan to learn from these emperors, start in terms of cultural governance, and integrate the current disobedient ideological system into an obedient ideological system that conforms to their own interests.
This emperor does have the ability to make this request for everyone to do it.
But what was just speculation before has now become a real thing.
Guo Peng soon issued an edict and summoned the world's most famous Confucian scholars to the Huanglong Hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace to attend a meeting to discuss the future cultural and ideological development of the Wei Empire.
His Majesty the Emperor is very open-minded and attaches great importance to everyone's democratic rights, so he specially invited respected Confucian scholars to Luoyang to attend the meeting.
Let's eat well, chat, sit down and talk about things seriously, and decide the future trend of culture and thought.
That's important, right?
The emperor decided to convene a meeting of the Yellow Dragon Palace!
As soon as this news came out, the officials in the Luoyang court were stunned.
When Emperor Guangwu restored the fourteenth doctorate, everyone remembers how fierce the competition was.
Later, at the White Tiger View Conference, the desperate attack of the Zuo Spring and Autumn School against the Ram School and the defense of the Ram School are also deep memories.
For the sake of the inheritance and development of their own school, and for their own political interests, they can do anything.
What a huge price did the ancestors pay to have their current family business and status, and as a result, His Majesty the Emperor is going to do things again.
It's only been about 100 years, right?
That's too fast, right?
The scholars wailed, having an absolutely negative view of the matter, not wanting to accept such a reality at all, feeling that it was entirely the emperor's attempt to torment them.
According to inside information, His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with the status quo of the Five Classics and the Fourteen Family Laws, and wanted to cut off the surplus nine, leaving only one family law in each Sutra, and turning it into a sage law recognized by the state, and promulgating it to the world, so that the people of the world could learn from it******* His Majesty believed that the reason for the emergence of the Fourteen Family Laws was that the predecessors were not responsible enough.
In the face of differences, in the face of the coexistence of authenticity and falsity, do not carry out research, do not do research, let them remain in the world as a family law, let people learn, in case these are fake, then what can be done?
After the turbulent times of the pre-Qin period and the unification of the written language, many classics were no longer recognizable in the early Han Dynasty, and the pre-Qin scripts were not recognized, so there was such a misunderstanding.
In the family law of each sutra, there must be far-fetched pseudo-studies of later generations, and there are also true studies that completely convey the will of the saints.
And what is pseudo-learning, what is true learning, this is the important mission of this Huanglongdian meeting.
His Majesty the Emperor could no longer tolerate the coexistence of authenticity and falsity.
As a disciple of a saint, what he learns is actually far-fetched and pretentious pseudo-learning, is this something that a true disciple of a saint can endure?
Never!
For the sake of the learning of the saints to be conveyed to the world, and for the light of the learning of the saints to shine on this land, I must put an end to this boring strife!
Once you have one classic, there is only one study, and there are no fourteen family laws!
The meaning conveyed by the emperor's decree shocked the scholars who relied on the fourteen schools to monopolize the academic and upward channels, and their hearts were shocked.
Some even have three nights of shock and can't sleep.
This is the real lifeblood of the head scholar family, the real lifeline, and the most critical core interest of the senior scholar family who has the right to interpret the classics and the right to teach.
If something goes wrong in this regard, the family is really abolished.
And it's not a family thing, it's a school thing.
It is a tragic event that fourteen schools are about to disappear, and nine will be left with only five!
Two-thirds of the families with the family law inheritance will be devastated, their school will not be recognized, and there is a high probability that their academic qualifications will not be accepted by the imperial court, which ......
There is no way to be promoted as filial piety and honesty through the probation system, and you can't be an official.
If you can't be an official, who will study?
Damn!
After this incident, 400,000 readers in the world were collectively shocked, and public opinion exploded.
