Chapter 329: Repaying Grievances with Virtue

Dong Ce knew that there must be Confucian scholars in the court to talk about right and wrong now, but he didn't care, Confucian scholars excluded him, it was nothing more than because more and more disciples came to him, affecting their interests.

In the same way, the disciples who come here are also because of interests, although their interests are different from those of Confucianism, but they will hinder each other!

One group is to hope that everyone in the world respects, loves, learns, and believes in Confucianism, and the other group is the younger generation of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and can pursue what they like without scruples, which is the contest between old ideas and new concepts.

If this contest does not have the intervention of the imperial court, it is impossible to end in a short time, but the imperial court also needs a reason to intervene, besides, Yanjiao is free teaching, and your Confucianism cannot be free, and none of the canons of Yanjiao are harmful to the people, but if everyone believes in Yan, they will be able to establish a harmonious family and a harmonious society.

In addition, the most important point is that the exclusive respect for Confucianism is to strengthen the centralization of power, only Confucian scholars can be officials, and there are rules for teaching, not to be officials, just to do learning, not only did not harm anyone, but also learned from the people, used for the people, what reason should be forbidden?

Those who want to be officials go to learn Confucianism, and those who don't want to be officials and devote themselves to learning come to me, we have no conflict!

But having said that, people have already inquired clearly, and the students accepted by Dong Ce did not directly join the Yanjiao and become Yanjiao, but put on a name, and they could not get in touch with the upper-level classics that Dong Ce said!

That is to say, the disciples who are now obsessed with derivation can leave at any time and return to the Tai Academy to slowly study the scriptures and climb up, and at the same time, as nominal disciples, they can continue to study derivation, so that they are undoubtedly derivators dressed as Confucianists!

Maybe they don't dare to lift this skin now, but what if he comes to power one day? Who knows how many Confucian disciples are wolves in sheep's clothing, and when they are powerful and have no worries, they may learn from Dong Zhongshu and come to the sentence "Depose Confucianism and respect the study alone".

Because of this, it really endangers the status of Confucianism, and the Confucian scholars who see through this point can not give up!

At night, Dong Ce, who had been busy all day, had just returned to the backyard, and before he was ready to eat, he saw Yuan get up, he didn't have any extra words, only said: "Someone outside wants to see you!" ”

Dong Ce had no choice but to let Fang Shuwei warm the dishes first, so that Yuan Qi could walk out of the academy.

When I came outside, it was the same as the night of that day, and the surroundings were quiet, and I don't know how many barricades were set up nearby that only allowed people to enter but not to enter.

On the side of Tianxiang Academy, a woman in a mink fur coat with a hat seemed to be looking at Dong Ce who had just come out.

Dong Ce hurriedly went over and saluted, and then the two of them stepped on the thin snow and started pressing the road as they did last time.

"You are really bold, the mourning family only asked you to teach women, not to ask you to fight against Confucianism, now, several Confucians are begging the emperor in the court to prohibit the spread of derivation, what do you let the mourning family do?"

Dong Ce smiled bitterly in his heart, but not for this, but for the tone of the queen mother, what the great Confucian is asking for is the emperor, not for you, so it can be seen that the final decision is still in the hands of this woman!

"The Queen Mother thinks too much, in fact, this matter is easy to solve."

Empress Dowager Yin shook the veil when she heard this, she stopped, looked at Dong Ce's somewhat blurred face through the veil, and did not speak, as if waiting for Dong Ce to continue.

Dong Ce naturally continued with great interest: "People's energy is limited, it is impossible to do everything to the extreme, if the disciples of Taixue learn Yanxue, it is impossible to learn Confucianism well at the same time, that is, then it will be easy to do, the Queen Mother only needs to let Her Majesty set up the Hanlin Academy, full-time drafting edicts, writing books and writing history, and the royal family to read, etc. ”

"This ......" Empress Dowager Yin didn't expect that Dong Ce actually mentioned that the control was up, but she knew that there was a follow-up, so she didn't attack on the spot and scolded Dong Ce to keep her mouth shut.

After Dong Ce sensed the meaning of the Queen Mother, he continued: "Although the officials of the Hanlin Academy do not need to be of much rank, they can become close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and there are many opportunities to face the saint, which will be of great help to their future careers, so this place will be a place where young people will want to enter if they break their heads!" ”

"However, you can't just come to a person, and the Hanlin Academy will collect it, but you have to go through the imperial examination, and the questions are all from the Tai Academy Confucian, and the people who participate in the imperial examination can't be too narrow and confined to the Tai Academy, but no matter what he was born, as long as he is a human being! After studying the Confucian classics and gaining a deep understanding of Confucianism, you can participate in the imperial examination. ”

"At the local level, let the local government hold the hospital examination, and if it passes, it will arrange for the state government to hold the township examination, and the number of places will be limited, and if it can also be passed, it can be held in the capital to gather the world's talented people to take the examination, and similarly, limit the number of those who pass, and select dozens of people with the most outstanding knowledge to participate in the final palace examination, this palace examination, it is best to let His Majesty personally invigilate the examination, and those who pass are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, and naturally have the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy, so that as long as they want to serve the country's talented people, they must study the Confucian classics thoroughly, Then where will they have time to learn derivation, and Confucianism can better spread the world! ”

Empress Dowager Yin was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that Dong Ce would have such a scheme, could it be that he really had no desires? Selfless? Otherwise, why would he help the Confucian scholars who wanted to forbid him to spread his teachings?

And Empress Dowager Yin also knows the pros and cons of the imperial examination from Dong Ce's words, it is undeniable that this proposal is very tempting, especially today, the people in the officialdom are all selected by the scholars, which leads to their loyalty to the scholars, not the court and the royal family!

But once the imperial examination is opened, it will open the door for talented people all over the world, and the most important thing is the protégé of the Son of Heaven! With the approval of the Son of Heaven, what reason do you have not to be grateful for doing things for the Son of Heaven?

Of course, as a woman, and a woman who holds the power of the world, she is not limited to this, she is still thinking about Dong Ce's sentence "No matter if he is born, as long as he is a human!" "Isn't this to say, women can also rely on the imperial examination, so as to become an official through the imperial examination!

At this moment, Empress Dowager Yin was like a hungry fox, seeing a rabbit hit her mouth, did she eat it or not?

"Interesting!" Empress Dowager Yin thought about it for a long time, and finally just said this.

But how could she hide it from Dong Ce, the Queen Mother did this, just to make Dong Ce think that his proposal was only interesting and could not be taken as a fact, so she also reminded Dong Ce not to put his ass up to the sky, although this idea was made by you, the decision on whether to implement it or not is with me!

Dong Ce's guess was not wrong, and after the Empress Dowager Yin finished saying it was interesting, she pondered for a while, and said, "Then what? Can you explain this way of the imperial examination in more detail? ”

Dong Ce smiled slightly and said, "This is nature!" (To be continued.) )
