Ren Ke Shou shouted like this, and even he didn't realize that it attracted everyone in the whole room.

Ren Keshou held the scroll in his hand and flipped through it repeatedly, as if he couldn't put it down, and he kept muttering: "Well written!" ”

Everyone surrounded him, and Ren Keshou reacted at this time, hurriedly stood up, and first handed the scroll to Song Qunshan.

Song Qunshan took the volume, read it, just finished reading the beginning, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and when he looked at it again, his spirit soared: "It's a good sentence to depose the hundred schools of thought, and respect Confucianism alone!" ”

When everyone saw that Song Qunshan, who had not praised someone for a long time, praised him like this, they all raised their interest and rushed to read it.

After reading it, everyone praised it one after another, not only the older generation of deans, but also the younger generation of deans.

The volume finally returned to Ren Keshou's hand, and Ren Keshou was still immersed in the article, and at this time he came to his senses, and ran to Yan Ziyuan with a roll, and handed the volume up: "Mr. Yan, take a look at this article." ”

Yan Ziyuan took it and read it carefully, he was also very curious about what kind of article could cause such a big reaction from the deans.

After reading the whole article, Yan Ziyuan's expression remained unchanged, he put down the scroll in his hand, and everyone looked at Yan Ziyuan with wide eyes, looking forward to his evaluation.

Yan Ziyuan finally spoke: "The point of view is very radical and very advanced, this candidate said in the article, the disaster of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past twenty years, the cause and effect of the decline of Confucianism, are all due to the Tao, Mo, vertical and horizontal trends, Taoism is quiet and inactive, but it makes the monarch do nothing, and the real war is powerless; The Mohists love non-aggression at the same time, and it is even more of a joke, how can they hear that the monarch of another country loves his own people more than the people of other countries? That's it, the Mo family's non-offense only knows how to defend passively, so it can't deter neighboring countries, and it will inevitably end up ruined; The Zongheng family lobbied the countries and provoked wars, but the princes had their own evil intentions, so that wars broke out. In the face of such a world environment, he advocated the deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, believing that it was necessary to make good use of the momentum and prestige of Confucianism today to suppress the rest of the schools, so as to eliminate the rest of the schools. This is the idea of great unification, and if he can say such a thing, his background must be in the Qin State. ”

After Yan Ziyuan's comments, he did not approve or object, everyone was very puzzled, the current situation of Confucianism, can not be cleaned up without great courage, although this candidate's article is still naïve, but his thinking is far-reaching, and his courage is so great that even the deans present are ashamed of themselves.

Ren Keshou replied: "Mr. Yan's guess is true, this candidate is indeed from the Qin State, and he has a great relationship with Mr. Yan!" ”

Yan Ziyuan smiled slightly, and quickly guessed: "Is it a student of filial piety?" ”

Ren Keshou nodded, and then said, "It's Fang Xiaoru's only son. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts instantly brightened, no wonder he was so young and could have such an achievement in Confucianism, it turned out to be the son of Yan Ziyuan's proud protégé Fang Xiaoru.

Yan Ziyuan smiled: "Xiaoru has taught a good son, and the article is well written." ”

After Yan Ziyuan said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it is a great honor to be recognized by Yan Ziyuan, if you want to say that whose article is written at the end of this world, no one can speak Ziyuan's right, there are very few articles that can be praised by Yan Ziyuan in previous years, the last time Yan Ziyuan praised people was twenty years ago, right? It is a treatise on righteousness written by Luo Zhongzheng.

Ren Keshou bowed his head respectfully and said, "Please ask Mr. Yan to give a score." ”

Yan Ziyuan looked at everyone with a smile, and said with a helpless smile: "Since you all value me so much, let's give a full score." ”

No one spoke out against it, and they didn't think that Yan Ziyuan's full score was problematic, this is indeed a good article worth circulating, and it pointed out a way for Confucianism.

After reading Fang Wenlong's article, the gap between the rest of the candidates' articles was too big to read it, and it was a bit boring to read, and they were all the same arguments.

However, after reading that article, everyone changed their gloomy looks from yesterday and deeply felt that there were successors to Confucianism.

Only Yan Ziyuan's smile gradually faded, looking at the scroll that Ren Ke had just left on the table, the eight words "Depose the Hundred Schools of Confucianism" made Yan Ziyuan frown, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

It's as if behind this scroll, there is a pair of eyes looking at him.

Just when Yan Ziyuan was stunned, another dean made a voice, it was the old dean surnamed Yang, his face was full of anger at this moment, and the roll in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

Ren Keshou and Luo Zhongzheng glanced at each other, but still walked up and asked, "Dean Yang, what's wrong?" ”

Dean Yang's face was angry, his face turned red, and he was a little uneasy to speak, and then he took a few deep breaths and slapped the roll on the table with force.

"Bastard!"

Ren Keshou picked up the paper on the table, Luo Zhongzheng also came over, the two first looked at the questions in front of them, the recitation questions were rare and failed to get a full score, and the comprehension questions were only right, seeing this, the two frowned, but they still couldn't understand, if it was just like this, it shouldn't make Dean Yang so angry.

It wasn't until the two of them looked at the final thesis question that their expressions began to slowly change.

Ren Keshou finished reading the paper with a gloomy face and didn't say a word, but Luo Zhongzheng couldn't hold back his anger and scolded: "Which academy student is this?" What an internal and external law! ”

As soon as Luo Zhongzheng's four words came out, only Yan Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and the rest of the deans were puzzled, hurriedly took the volume, and finally scolded all of them!

Yan Ziyuan knocked lightly on the table, and everyone fell silent, but their faces were still full of anger.

Yan Ziyuan raised his hand and motioned for Ren Keshou to take the scroll, but Ren Keshou hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

After a while, Yan Ziyuan was a little angry, and rarely raised his voice: "Abide by it, bring the volume." ”

Seeing this, Ren Keshou had no choice but to walk over, but Liu Shizhen stopped Ren Shoushou halfway and said: "Teacher, what this candidate said is absurd, don't look at it, lest the teacher get angry and hurt his body." ”

Yan Ziyuan's face was gloomy, he looked at Liu Shizhen directly, and finally gently spit out a word from his mouth: "Get out." ”

Not only Liu Shizhen, but even the rest of the deans were stunned, they didn't expect Yan Ziyuan to say such a thing.

Liu Shizhen blushed and seemed to be a little unconvinced, but finally stomped her feet and walked out of the room.

Yan Ziyuan held back the anger in his heart and said slowly: "All controversial papers should be sent to me, I have already ordered this sentence before, no matter how big the problems in this candidate's papers are, so that the deans are so angry, they should not break the rules." ”

Yan Ziyuan looked up at Dean Yang and continued: "Dean Yang, you are an elder, even if the juniors are impulsive, you have cultivated your body for decades, and your heart should not be so bad. Do you know that the paper you are about to crumple may be the result of ten years of hard study by a poor candidate. ”

Dean Yang lowered his head, pursed his lips, and did not dare to speak.

The rest of the deans also lowered their heads, for fear of touching Yan Ziyuan's anger again.

Yan Ziyuan took the test paper, and after a cursory glance at the previous questions, he quickly shifted his attention to the later papers.

The title of this candidate's essay is very simple, 'On the Way Out of Confucianism - Internal Confucianism and External Law'.

'Wu Kui studied under the contemporary Confucian Yan Ziyuan, Confucianism can be described as profound, but as a Confucian prince, first from the Great Jin, but can not die for the Great Jin, this is a disloyalty. Later, he became a great Wei, but after ten years of auxiliary government, he made friends with the old master's enemy, which was two disloyalty. Xiangguo for ten years, poisoning the first emperor, this is three disloyalty. In the end, he launched a rebellion, wanting to kill the monarch and ascend the throne, following the example of the three families, which is the four disloyalty. After 20 years of hard study and cultivation of Confucianism, and committing such an act of disloyalty and injustice, he is really an unfaithful and unrighteous person. As Wu Kui's Confucian student, he still committed such disloyal and unrighteous acts, which shows that the world is in turmoil, and the foundation of Confucianism is not solid, and it is difficult to penetrate into the hearts of the people. Wu Kui is still like this, let alone others? In this troubled era, the three families divided into Jin and caused the collapse of etiquette, and the Qin of the tiger and wolf coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes unstable, and the Confucian ritual system collapsed, and it was difficult to save the defeat......

It was okay to be here, although the rhetoric was fierce, but what was said was true.

However, in the second half, the way out of Confucianism pointed out by this candidate turned out to be the combination of Confucianism and law, and he had the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism in his heart, but he used the rude law of Legalism to govern the country, and bluntly said that if he wanted to save the world, he could only change the law, and the legal system was weak, so that it was difficult to manage and difficult to deter everyone.

This combination of the two schools of thought inevitably aroused the wrath of the deans.

After Yan Ziyuan finished reading the volume, he didn't say a word, and the deans lowered their heads, but peeked at Yan Ziyuan's expression from time to time, but Yan Ziyuan's face was not abnormal.

"What's the candidate's name?" Yan Ziyuan asked.

Ren Keshou replied: "Mr. Yan, surname Xu, name Xiaoli." ”

Yan Ziyuan nodded and said, "The name doesn't match the article." ”

Ren Keshou and Luo Zhongzheng glanced at each other, and finally Luo Zhongzheng spoke: "Mr. Yan, this score..."

Yan Ziyuan glanced at him, Luo Zhongzheng hurriedly lowered his head, and Yan Ziyuan said angrily: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Then Yan Ziyuan threw the scroll to Ren Keshou, stood up and said, "You guys look at it, that's it for today, I'm tired." ”
