Regarding this imperial examination, at the moment of the end of the examination, it once again successfully occupied the headlines of public opinion in Chang'an.

Such a strange topic has caused a lot of Confucianism to spray.

There are also some candidates who feel that they are not likely to be shortlisted.

"Your Highness, Dr. Kong is asking to see you outside the palace!" The little eunuch Aman, who had just come to his side, walked up to him with a pair of small short legs and whispered.

Fang Xuanling, who was reading the test paper, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and quietly probed Li Yuanji in private, wanting to see how he would react?

Dr. Kong, Kong Yingda, the thirty-first grandson of Confucius, the descendant of Confucianism, was a great Confucian.

A year and a half ago, he was awarded the title of Doctor of Guozi and became a senior instructor at the highest university in the country.

Kong Yingda's students, as well as the students of Zongshang, are not easy to mess with, and there are many important ministers in the court.

And the current students are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the princes are also his students.

Li Yuanji's three test papers not only aroused the dissatisfaction of scholars all over the world, but also caused Kong Yingda's dissatisfaction.

The whole test paper has nothing to do with Confucianism, but the always useless miscellaneous studies occupy the majority, so how can Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, accept this reality?

Facts have proved that Kong Yingda's approach is right.

All the more than 10,000 candidates, after the first round of scoring, are now presented, only less than 300 test papers, and these 300 test papers, only more than 50 are the first two papers with higher scores, the rest are more prominent in the current policy, the low examiners are not enough to select the best, so they can barely make up less than 300 test papers.

"Xuan!" Continuing to look at the test paper in his hand, Li Yuanji replied without raising his head.

What should come will always come, and since this exam paper is out, I am ready to deal with all the pressure.

After a moment's effort, under the guidance of Aman, Kong Yingda entered the hall with a sonorous and powerful foot.

Li Yuanji was on top, and off the stage were more than 20 high-ranking officials such as Fang Xuanling.

Kong Yingda's face was full of anger, but he also saw the worries of those high-ranking officials who read the papers, and a few of them who had a good relationship with him also quietly looked at them.

"Disturbing His Highness in his busy schedule, the minister is panicked, but he has not enough energy recently, he has more than enough strength to do so, and he is also a little nervous about teaching and teaching, so the minister begs His Highness for permission, and the minister wants to return to his hometown!" As soon as they met, Kong Yingda directly submitted his resignation.

Putting down the test paper in his hand, Li Yuanji raised his head slightly, and a pair of sharp eyes swept over him.

"Dr. Kong is a treasure of the Tang Dynasty, that is, if he is unwell, then let go of the matter over there for the time being." Li Yuanji turned to Aman and instructed: "Go to the imperial doctor, use the best supplements, no matter what the cost, be sure to condition Dr. Kong's body." ”

"Your Highness, the minister feels that he is not able to teach his students, and I beg your majesty to allow it!" Regarding Li Yuanji's overtures, Kong Yingda avoided them and continued to shout to return to his hometown.

I've seen a lot of this kind of muddy way, your immature means, the old man can guess it with his eyes closed, who are you fooling?

If you don't give the old man a clear answer today, the old man will really tell the old man to return to his hometown, do you believe it?

The ministers who had lowered their grades also stopped what they were doing and looked at Kong Yingda with shocked faces.

As the contemporary leader of Confucianism, Kong Yingda has this capital.

And Li Yuanji must not offend him no matter what, offending Kong Yingda means offending the entire Confucianism, offending the entire Confucianism, which means offending almost all the officials.

Since the Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism in various dynasties has been unprecedented.

The hundred schools of thought have long been excluded, and Confucianism is also good at changing itself and knowing the shortcomings of improving itself.

It is precisely because of this that Confucianism has been able to maintain its decline for hundreds of years, and even show signs of becoming stronger and stronger.

I really don't know which of Li Yuanji's brains is on the wrong line, a good imperial examination, but he came out like this.

Don't you know that Confucianism has begun to make a comprehensive layout? According to the routine, in the next few decades, the influence of Confucianism will penetrate into every scholar in the world.

"Accurate!" His eyes stared at Kong Yingda, and a quasi-word was said heavily.

What the?

Li Yuanji's quasi-word not only made Kong Yingda a little unable to deal with it, but even the more than 20 high-ranking officials in the audience who read the file were also shocked.

Taking advantage of the fact that the others did not speak, Fang Xuanling quickly put down the test paper in his hand, quickly got up and walked to the central aisle, bowed to Li Yuanji, and said: "I hope that Your Highness will think twice, Dr. Kong has only learned to fight, and he is not too old now, and there are still some years to serve the imperial court, Dr. Kong is unwell, and the minister feels that His Royal Highness will allow him to recuperate for three months." ”

"The ministers seconded it!" Seeing Fang Xuanling standing up and admonishing, the remaining twenty or so people also hurriedly got up and bowed their hands towards Li Yuanji.

Mom, if you didn't do this, even if you wanted to go to war, couldn't you just do it? Do you have to throw off your arms as soon as you come up and put on a posture that will never stop?

What time is it? You will ascend the throne the day after tomorrow, and there may be a big drought next, offending Confucianism at this time, those mouthfuls will not easily let go of this opportunity.

Whether it is sincere or fake, at this time, they must stand up to stop Li Yuanji's absurd decision.

"Loneliness is never strong, since Dr. Kong put it forward, loneliness and retention is fruitless, why not adult beauty? Aren't you waiting to be the villain alone? Li Yuanji said unhappily and angrily.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Farewell to the minister! Kong Yingda, whose lungs were about to explode, thanked him again and again, turned his head and left, without even taking a second look, as if he was disappointed here.

"Dr. Kong......"

"Your Highness......"

The scene in front of him made everyone unexpected, some wanted to stop Kong Yingda, some wanted to persuade Li Yuanji, almost everyone knew that if this matter passed like this today, a storm might break out tomorrow.

At that time, Li Yuanji will also become the target of the common crusade of Confucian scholars all over the world.

For the higher-ups, this move stinks, and it stinks like the stones in the thatched house.

And Li Yuanji's impulsive decision also made many people faintly worried, is he a qualified Mingjun?

Some seemingly inconsequential decisions may cause turmoil in the country, and before he ascended the throne, Li Yuanji made a hole in this day.

Regardless of the final outcome, Li Yuanji didn't care.

If Kong Yingda comes to his theory in a good voice, he will give him a satisfactory answer, he doesn't like Confucianism, but he doesn't hate Confucianism, Confucianism and other hundred schools of thought are the same in his eyes, all belong to the cultural heritage of China, all of them are indispensable, but they must not be dominant.

But Kong Yingda came up with this posture of forcing the palace, how could Li Yuanji, who was also arrogant, bow his head?

"Alone in Chang'an, I have been in the northern Qi country for so long, I have seen a lot of problems, and I have also summed up a truth." opened Kong Yingda, Li Yuanji was not in a hurry, but these people in the audience wanted to appease him, and he also wanted to use their mouths to minimize the impact of today's incident.

Regarding this matter, Li Yuanji already had a countermeasure in his heart at the beginning, in short, it is a sentence, not to mention anything else, as long as future generations can firmly remember this sentence, Huaxia will always stand on the top of the world.

"Since the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism, what did the Han family get for the children? And what is lost? Li Yuanji took the opportunity to ask a question, did not give people time to react, and continued: "For hundreds of years, the iron smelting technology used by the Tang Dynasty is still inherited to the Han Dynasty, and there are few improvements in the middle of hundreds of years. ”

"For hundreds of years, all dynasties and generations have respected Confucianism, but there are still so many dynasties changing, and Confucianism, which is good at changing, has not been able to change these dynasties together!"

"Lonely often thinks about a question, if the hundred schools still exist, what will happen to the lives of the people now? Could it be that Yuan Rang plows, waterwheels, cement, gunpowder, these military weapons for people's livelihood have been studied hundreds of years ago? And put it into practice? ”

"Gu looked back again, the changes of Confucianism were only changes made out of necessity, and their changes were only their own changes, and they did not bring any benefits to the dynasty, but suppressed the development of other industries."

"Of course, Gu is not a comprehensive denial of Confucianism, at least Gu feels that their "The Mean" is still very good, and it can bring a kind of sublimation to people's spirits."

Li Yuanji was deliberately silent for a while, and also left enough time for everyone below to think, then sighed and said earnestly:

"The development of Qi is also obvious to all, alone in the year of Qi this year, I have seen it with my own eyes and felt it with my own eyes, if Datang does not make changes, sooner or later it will step into the footsteps of the previous dynasty. So, Lone summed up one sentence......"

Listening to what Li Yuanji said, everyone couldn't help but think of the previous dynasties and generations, and found that this was really the case.

The demise of the dynasty may be attributed to the rebellion of the emperors, but apart from this, in other respects, the Han people have not changed for hundreds of years.

What kind of life the ancestors lived hundreds of years ago, and the descendants of today, maybe comfort, maybe something else, no one wants to change.

It wasn't until Li Yuanji got out of the Academy of Sciences that he completely opened their eyes and opened their brains.

At first they attributed it to miscellaneous studies, to uselessness.

But with the brilliance of Yuan Rang plows, waterwheels, gunpowder, etc. in civilian and military use, the Academy of Sciences had to attract the attention of everyone.

Compared with before, Li Shimin's attitude towards Kong Yingda has also changed, or he is a lot colder, but he is more enthusiastic about the Academy of Sciences, but Li Shimin, who is confused, can't play this at all after Li Yuanji.

Guessing and shocking in his heart, Li Yuanji's voice slowly floated and said: "Work hard to prosper the country, empty talk misleads the country!" ”
