Chapter 230: The Five-Day Covenant
Ren Zhen didn't say a word, just calmly watched the ministers, waiting for their boiling emotions to cool down by themselves.
The crowd was puzzled by his indifferent posture, and no matter how much they shouted, they couldn't solve the problem, and gradually closed their mouths.
"Done?"
Ren Zhen glanced at the princes of Gon and sneered: "Above the court, there is a public uproar, you think this is the Xicheng vegetable market?" Or do you think it's a group fight, and if there are many people and many mouths, you can reverse black and white? β
Hearing his sarcasm, the ministers' eyes were slightly cold, and they did not continue to make noise.
Ren Zhen turned his gaze to Xu Yuanzhi and said lightly: "Since you think that it is not in accordance with the etiquette law for me to be the main exam, and the opinions of the Ministry of Etiquette are not unanimous, then let's discuss etiquette in this court." β
"First, you think that although I am also a civilian, I am mainly a military attachΓ©, which is not in line with the etiquette system. Do you know that this test is different from usual, and only with my dual identity can I do this errand. β
Xu Yuan saw the stitches and asked, "What's the difference?" β
"At the beginning of the new policy of the imperial court, the army urgently needs to send new forces, and this court examination focuses on selecting talents for this purpose, shouldn't the military attache be the main exam?"
"Moreover, there has been a change in the system of the Korean examination, it was originally a civil and military sub-test, and they competed separately, but this time it is also a civil and military joint test, competing in the same field, and the invigilation system should also be changed accordingly, shouldn't Ben Hou, who is both civil and military, be the main exam?"
Xu Yuanzhi's body trembled, "What did you say?" The system of the DPRK examination also needs to be changed? How can this work! How can the rituals left by the ancestors be shaken and changed at will! β
Ren Zhen snorted coldly, and said in his heart, you go to Your Majesty for this matter, I just want to compete with you for the position of chief examiner now.
"Second, you question that I have the name of a Confucian sage, and I cannot be compared with the erudite Confucian. In this regard, I would like to ask Master Xu, we have never known each other, how do you know that I have a false name, not a talented eight buckets, a rich man and five cars, and I am not worthy of being this teacher? β
Xu Yuanzhi laughed instead of being angry, and sneered: "Then I have to ask Mr. Xiao, the subset of classics and history, poetry and songs, Confucianism is broad and profound, in which aspect do you have attainments, dare to be so arrogant in front of all the adults who are full of wealth?" β
He smiled, his eyes were full of provocation, waiting for the young Ren Zhen to boast of Haikou and take the initiative to jump into this trap.
These Wenchen can be ranked in the court class, mixed to the point where they are now, which one has not gone through the cold window and studied hard, not full of poetry and books, and exported into chapters. As long as Ren Zhen dares to brag and draw a specific line, a group of old guys will immediately jump out and learn from him.
At that time, the advantage of having more people will be reflected, even if Ren Zhen is really knowledgeable, he can't stand the difficulties of so many people digging out their minds, and he can't prevent it, and he will definitely be nakedly humiliated and buttoned up as a hat.
So, it's a trap, and you can't answer it positively.
However, Ren Zhen seemed to be suddenly unknown, and said confidently: "Don't hide it from you, I am from Xiling Academy, and naturally like you, I specialize in studying the "Spring and Autumn" scripture, and I have quite an opinion. β
"What a big breath!"
Hearing his answer, the ministers looked arrogant and stared at Ren Zhen with disdain.
The literati are despised by each other, and this has been the case since ancient times.
What's more, he is still a fledgling young man, in front of these highly learned seniors, claiming to be talented and rich, and he is simply unexpected, so how can they be convinced!
In the court, an old minister walked out tremblingly, with an old-fashioned demeanor, ""Spring and Autumn" is subtle and meaningful, obscure and difficult. Since you are not ashamed to speak and boast of having quite an opinion, then the old man should take a test! β
After saying that, he raised his hand slightly and put on a posture of "please listen to the question".
Seeing this old man in trouble, Xu Yuanzhi and the others all smiled, and said secretly, Mr. Yang personally went out, and the Hou of Blowing Water will undoubtedly lose, and this situation is stable!
"Wait!"
Ren Zhen resolutely interrupted him and sneered: "The discussions in the court are all about family and country affairs, how can you delay the government because of learning from each other?" This old man, you must not be dull and pedantic, because of private waste! β
"What, you're scared?" Xu Yuanzhi refused to give up, and deliberately provoked him, "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, could it be that you are bluffing, in fact, you have no ink, shallow knowledge, and dare not accept everyone's test?" β
Without waiting for Ren Zhen to answer, he was aggressive and continued: "Young man, since this is the case, stop pretending to be knowledgeable and trying to get into the position of the examiner!" β
Ren Zhen smiled dumbly, "Lord Xu, you are too eager to close the coffin and seize the official position, right?" The reason why I refuse to be tested by you is not because of weakness, on the contrary, I do not think you are qualified to judge my knowledge! β
Xu Yuanzhi was stunned, "What do you mean?" β
Ren Zhen stood with his hands in his hands and talked eloquently, ""Spring and Autumn" is difficult to solve, and there are different opinions, and there is no consensus. Even in Xiling, which is the best at this, it is divided into three schools, regardless of the superiority, how can you judge that my opinion is wrong? β
When the crowd heard this, they nodded secretly, his words were not unreasonable, "Spring and Autumn" is a notoriously unsolvable problem, there is no standard answer, and it is indeed unrealistic to distinguish between right and wrong.
I only heard Xu Yuanzhi retort: "Then how do you know that your opinion is right?" Zuo's, Ram, Gu Liang, no matter which solution your claim comes from, everyone can identify it. You can rest assured of that! β
"No need!"
Ren Zhen refused again, and said leisurely: "I can respond to your questions, but I don't need you to judge." Five days later, I will open the altar to give a lecture and comment on "Spring and Autumn", so that everyone in the world can listen to the fourth solution! β
What the?
Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Ren Zhen actually wants to open an altar to give a lecture, with a unique solution, a school of his own!
This courage is no longer just as simple as no one in sight, but pretentious, and wants to challenge all the schools of exegesis of today!
"It is my long-cherished wish to continue to learn for the sake of the saints. If you are not convinced, come and hear it in five days. Right and wrong, black and white, will have its own public opinion in the world! β
It's not that he doesn't want to slap everyone's face with the true interpretation of "Spring and Autumn" in this court and in front of the empress.
However, how can we prove to them that everyone who has been drunk and awake is wrong?
At least at this point, he couldn't prove it yet, so he didn't want to provoke unwarranted ridicule.
Even if you want to laugh at me, please come back in five days!
"As for the last point, Lord Xu is worried that I can't act impartially and not be calm and serious enough, so you are really worried. No matter how extreme I am, I won't favor our Xiling, they Donglin. β
He blinked and playfully said, "So what are you guys tossing?" Wouldn't it be fairer for me, a neutral person, to take the exam, without favoring one over the other? Do you really think that Your Majesty can be bullied and will let one of them dominate? β
