Chapter Eighty-Five: The Law Remains the Same VS The Law Changes with Time (3)
Between the questions and answers, the two sides of the Furong Lou verbal battle, as if they were angered by each other's words, stood up one after another, or sharply reprimanded each other's views, or debunked the incorrectness of some views.
In a word, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and each other's words sound very reasonable to outsiders.
"Ling Zhi's remarks just now are really wonderful! A change in the system will inevitably cause social turmoil in Bactria society, and once turmoil occurs, there may be a popular uprising. Throughout the ages, once there is a popular uprising, it means that a country is unstable and will inevitably be attacked by surrounding hostile forces! The former Great Qi Dynasty was like this! ”
The judges of the State Academy of Literature seem to be divided into two factions, but it is clear that those who support the law and remain unchanged account for ninety percent.
"Gongsun Yan's point of view, although there is nothing wrong with it, but now in Great Xia, in such a complex external environment, it is too early to talk about Fa Yin! Emperor Xuanzongwu, in the year of Zhongxing Great Xia, seemed to have a premonition of the current crisis in Great Xia, so he formulated various regulations, among which the official system was the most important party. The most important point of the three-province system is that it avoids the disadvantages of one person's arbitrary power, which can be said to strengthen the centralization of imperial power! ”
Several officials of the State Academy of Literature and Literature obviously expressed their appreciation for the views put forward by Ling Zhi and others. Such words naturally came into Qin Yi's ears. After thinking about it carefully, Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh when he compared the views of Gongsun Yan and others, combined with the situation in Daxia that he had mastered.
The domestic situation in Daxia today is relatively stable, but the surrounding environment can't help but make people worry. Xirong in the west, although there has been no war with Daxia for decades, but the so-called wolf ambition, even if it is tamed, it is still a wolf, if there is any change in Daxia, then the two states of Yongliang will inevitably suffer from the devastation of life and the flames of war will be rekindled.
In the north, in the northeast region, the emerging foreign ethnic groups established political power and watched over the northeastern border, and there were other small states such as the Silla Dynasty, which harassed from time to time.
In the south, the barbarians in the land of the South have repeatedly invaded the southern state capitals. Although Siam and Shen Poison got along with Great Xia, in the past years, there were also wars between them and Great Xia. It is precisely because of this that the military defense of the south is even more important than that of the north and the west.
Fortunately, to the east of Great Xia, there is a vast and boundless sea, and in the sea there are several island countries, among which Dongying is the largest. These island nations do not stay on their own soil, and every once in a while, they invade the coastal capitals and plunder the people.
Although, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzongwu sent troops to eliminate these countries, but because of geography, he did not send troops to garrison. In the decades after the end of the Sino-Han Dynasty, these island nations were re-established one after another, and became a problem for the maritime frontiers of Bactria .
This is why, although the court of Changyang Hou Yu Shifan put forward the idea of changing the law, but under the many circumstances such as the intricacy of foreign enemies and the intricacies of domestic family interests, the matter of changing the law is still dragging on.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi has some support for the theory that the law remains unchanged, to be precise, now is not the time to change the law.
The noisy shouting lasted for half an hour, and the judges of the State Academy of Literature were also frowning and thinking about something. Suddenly, there was a bang, which meant that the time was up, and the personnel on both sides returned to their seats, and many officials of the State Academy of Literature gathered together. They want to discuss who has the best performance in this war of words.
After all, everyone has their own opinions, and some of them, which are also learned at this moment, are not correct, but they are correct in some periods of history.
For example, the law does not change from time to time and the law changes from time to time.
Qin Yi saw it clearly, and everyone knew that the current Great Xia should follow the immutable rules of the law, rather than relying on changing a certain system to maintain. Or in other words, although the change is feasible in the current environment, the consequences caused by it are beyond the control of the central court. Don't say that because of party disputes, let's just say that the difficulty of reforming the bureaucratic system is not something that ordinary people can control.
"Qin Gongzi, as the top student in the Xining Town Official Academy, although you have never been exposed to these current affairs and politics, what is wrong with you listening to their opinions today?" Qin Yi was pondering, but Chen Yao's voice came into his ears, "Or in other words, who do you think among these people can be worthy of the first place?" ”
This is to let Qin Yi participate in judging this battle of words.
Qin Yi listened to Chen Yao's advice on his face, and said with a modest expression on his face: "Although he is the first place in the college examination, he has not achieved fame after all, he is just a pawn!" It's up to you to participate in the things above the county school! I'm here just to listen! ”
Chen Yao nodded when he heard Qin Yi answer like this. He also understands that Qin Yi, as a student of Zhenxue, has not been in contact with too many upper-level literary associations and lacks experience. Although he is a person who came here on business as Xining Town, he can't force too much, just a polite touch is enough.
"However, then again, if Qin Gongzi has any ideas, please be sure to say them. After all, you're also an officer! Chen Yao smiled and said politely, "Tongue battles like this kind of theme, each county in Yizhou will also organize some, if Qin Gongzi is interested, you can watch it yourself!" ”
Chen Yao was right, Qin Yi had already understood before this that the Heroes Club was a state-level literary meeting held in Yizhou. Whether it is Hanzhong County or Zitong County, there will be similar tongue battles. It's just that Qin Yi is on official business, and he already plans in his heart not to go to the county town below.
The final results of the Heroes Meeting were announced in the evening, and surprisingly, after the three comprehensive evaluations, the first place was actually Mu Jie from Yongchang County.
Although it surprised many onlookers, but here in Qin Yi, it is not. Qin Yi noticed that among the articles and poems he collected, what Mu Jie wrote was given a good evaluation by the officials of the State Academy of Literature.
This is not like Ling Zhi, although Ling Zhi's poetry is good, but the article is flawed, although he performs well in the war of words, but he always feels that his views are a bit far-fetched. Therefore, Lingzhi's comprehensive evaluation is ranked in the middle position.
In fact, many students who participated in this literary meeting did not want to compete for any first place, but to show their talents in front of the world in order to win some fame. This is their real purpose.
The time of December is almost the end of the year. Qin Yi was in Shu County, Yizhou, and Ling Zhi took him to visit some important people, including Ling Zhi's father Ling Wen, and then it was time for Qin Yi to leave.
"Beautiful women can be found again, but confidants are hard to find. Qin Gongzi, you and I don't know when we can see each other again! ”
Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, Qin Yi took Wei Zijin and a group of entourage, and was bidding farewell to Ling Zhi.
"In the twenty-seventh year of Yanping, you and I should be going to take the national examination together, and at that time, I guess you and I will meet again, and we should be in Taixue or Shangwu Academy, right?"
"I hope so!"
It was almost the middle of winter, Qin Yi and the others walked through the ten-mile long pavilion and gradually disappeared into the twilight. There is not much affection, only the concern between each other's confidants.
"Childe, why are you dealing with a poor kid like him? The last thing I want to do is to be an official with these poor children! This question has been hovering in my mind for a long time! ”
Seeing Qin Yi's back disappear, Zhang Quan, who was standing beside Ling Zhi, couldn't help but ask.
Ling Zhi listened to Zhang Quan's question, but sighed and said, "He is not an ordinary person!" Didn't you see the jade pendant on his chest? If you don't see it again, then the tattoo on his arm, have you ever seen it......"
Speaking of this, Ling Zhi suddenly closed his mouth, and his eyes suddenly looked at Zhang Quan sharply.
"Young master, what's the matter......"
"Don't ask, don't ask!"
