Chapter 14 Restoration of the old ear system of the Tang and Song dynasties

"Geography and current affairs, Liu Duozhai is indeed estranged," Guan Zhuofan said, "but the books of Confucius and Meng were written more than 2,000 years ago; Cheng and Zhu's books have also been written for seven or eight hundred years. Gen Weng, you think, how can the sages know what will happen after thousands of years? Hehe, is it 'pinching your fingers'? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, all kinds of things in the future will naturally not be written in the books of the sages. Although Liu Duozhai Kong, Meng, Cheng, and Zhu Zhishu have all read it well, it is not surprising that when it comes to current affairs, it is still absurd. ”

He was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Guan Zhuofan's words, Pili Yangqiu, the taste is weird, how to interface? He doesn't really feel sorry for Liu Yunxi, but there is no reason to complain that Kong, Meng, Cheng, and Zhu can't "cave candles for a hundred generations"? This one......

"Gen Weng," Guan Zhuofan smiled, as if he knew what Wu Ren was thinking, "Don't get me wrong, I don't dare to criticize the sages!" Future generations are not good, we must introspect ourselves, is we not competitive enough? How dare you put the blame on the ancestors? ”

"Lord, I, this ...... Stupid, uh, please let the prince make it clear. ”

"The books of the sages, of course, should, as always, be read well and thoroughly; But beyond thatβ€”"

Guan Zhuofan accentuated his tone: "Chinese and foreign current affairs can't be separated!" After all, a scholar who was born in the profession is not only immersed in the study to do learning, but also to take care of the Son of Heaven and care for the people! Well, it's to talk to the state and participate in political affairs! If they are all like Liu Kuizhai...... Hehe, what will this world be governed into? ”

"Lord Wang...... Seems overdone? Liu Kuizhai is like that. After all, it's only a handful ......"

Guan Zhuofan interrupted Wu Ren's words: "I'm only afraid of a lot!" ”

Anyway. Stood up. After pacing back and forth for two steps, he said: "Gen Weng, I know, there are quite a few people who complain that I use people less from the 'right path' and more with the 'miscellaneous' background - but there is really nothing to be done! Born on the right path. If there are enough people for the right people, why should I go far? Am I not willing to listen to the praise of the Word? It's really not ...... Alas, it's really hard! ”

After a pause, he paced two more steps and said: "Today's world is really called 'great changes unseen in three thousand years', and the situation at home and abroad is changing day by day!" It is necessary to 'read only the books of the sages', but 'to hear outside the window'. It's a must-try! Many people from the right path, such as Liu Kuizhai and others. Still haven't woken up! ”

"The national economy is closed, one out and one in, either, the ups and downs of millions of taels of silver, or, thousands of heads to stay! Think about it, Gen Weng, the responsibility is so great, how dare I use someone who ignores the situation? If I blindly beg for good words and use non-human ones, then ...... Isn't it a bully, isn't it a misguided country?! ”

Wu Ren is not good at words, he is also a master of science, pay attention to "sincerity and righteousness", "observe a few cautious actions", Guan Zhuofan said, sharp although sharp, sincere but also very sincere, think about it, it is irrefutable!

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Guan Zhuofan saw that Wu Ren had moved, and smiled secretly in his heart, but his expression became more and more solemn, frowning slightly, and sighing: "Actually, it's no wonder that this class of readers!" From the 'county style' to the 'palace examination', countless exams of all sizes are based on 'current affairs', and there are no serious exams for 'current affairs'! It is not uncommon for a scholar to be a scholar for ten years, and all his efforts are put on the 'current affairs' and 'current affairs', and the natural diaphragm is as absurd as Liu Evenzhai! ”

"Shiwen" is the eight-strand text; "Current Affairs" -- Naturally, Wu Ren thought of three words: "Current Affairs."

"Shiwuce" is a term that is far older than "Shiwen".

In the Tang and Song imperial examinations, in addition to the classics and righteousness, they had to take the "current policy", also called "trial policy" and "policy theory", that is, candidates were required to express their own views and discussions on current political issues. At that time, both the righteousness and the current affairs were emphasized, and the two could not be abandoned.

In the Ming Dynasty, the examination of "current affairs" was basically canceled, and the examination of candidates' understanding and mastery of the scriptures was concentrated.

Although the Qing Chengming system still left a little tail of "current affairs" in the "county examination" and "palace examination" -- at the end of the imperial examination at all levels, it did not have any substantial impact on the gradual advancement and relocation of candidates. Therefore, the candidates' energy is still almost 100% focused on the scriptures. Jingyi is interpreted by the "Shiwen" - Bagu Wen, therefore, the candidates have spent most of their time in the Bagu Wen for ten years.

Bagu Wen was written in the Ming Dynasty, and the age is close to this dynasty, which is called "Shiwen". At that time, the "current policy" had long since withdrawn from the imperial examination.

Does King Xuan want to...... Reinstate the "Matter of Time"?

I couldn't hold back this question, and finally asked: "What does the prince mean, do you want to ...... Resuming the 'current policy'? ”

I said such a big thing, just for you!

"Exactly! Gen Weng is brilliant! ”

Do you really want to restore the "current policy"? Wu Ren was speechless for a moment.

Also, what does it mean to be "smart"? Did you guess what you mean? Or is it a clever idea to revive the "current policy"? If the latter is the case, if the "current policy" is really restored, this ...... Hasn't it become the advice of my Ugong Peak?

If so, why does Shilin look at me?

Ouch, that's not going to happen!

As soon as he thought of this, he was very busy and said: "Lord, the system of this dynasty is complete, and the saints and saints are successive, so it is difficult to ...... easily."

The "easy" in the mouth of Uren means "change".

Guan Zhuofan shook his head with a smile and said, "Gen Weng, it's not 'change', it's 'recovery'!" Restore the 'current policy' and restore the old ear system of the Tang and Song dynasties! ”

After a pause, he said: "The system of this dynasty, inheriting the former Ming, Gen Weng, we are both banner people, and we don't need to be sloppy with each other - what 'saints and saints successively', aren't they all inherited from the former Ming?" Something from the foreground...... Hey! Besides, if the paper is so vigorous, how can the former Ming Dynasty compare with the Tang Dynasty, and how can it compare with the Song Dynasty? Gen Weng, you are Zong Cheng, Zhu, Cheng Zi, Zhu Zi, but the two Song Dynasty, Wang Yangming, who took over the mantle of Lu Jiuyuan, is the former Ming! ”

Guan Zhuofan's reasoning was plausible, and Wu Ren's mind couldn't turn it around.

Wu Ren lectured on reason, regarded Liangcheng and Zhu Xi as authentic, and always criticized Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming as "foreign ways", but because Liangcheng and Zhu Xi were from the Song Dynasty and Wang Yangming was from the Ming Dynasty, when it came to the imperial examination system, the Song Dynasty was better than the Ming Dynasty? Something seems to be a little wrong with this......

Besides, Lu Jiuyuan is also from the Song Dynasty.

However, it is said that the tone of the former Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of the two songs, but Wu Ren cannot disagree.

Zhong was stunned for a while, and then thought of one more thing, and Wu Ren hesitated and said, "Lord Wang, even if the 'current policy' is restored, it may not be ...... Does it work? The book of the saints is a book of virtue, but what is the 'current affairs' in it? - Didn't you just tell you about that? hastily resumed the 'current policy', and when it came time to take the exam, call the scholars to ...... What is the origin? This, this, isn't it just a mess? ”

Okay, old master, whatever I want, you can say anything, it's too cooperative.

Attention, the play meat is coming.
