Chapter 333: The Peaceful Past
When Dong Ce was spending his energy writing the imperial examination plan, in the palace, Huang Jin was also plotting with Ding Changshi.
The reason why Ding Lao thinks Dong Ce is terrible is not that Dong Ce dares to say anything, but how did this guy learn about Taiping Dao?
It must be known that Dong Ce is just a businessman, only in his early twenties, as for Yanjiao, did he say that others believed it for hundreds of years? Why have hundreds of years of sects only joined the WTO now? What did you do before?
But if you don't believe it, it doesn't make sense, after all, Dong Ce knows too much!
Taiping Dao is the state religion Yes, like the Taoist Buddha, they are also promoting good deeds, but this is only the surface, Ning Taizu's blow to Taiping Dao made Taiping Dao realize that even if the world is peaceful, the crisis cannot be resolved, who can guarantee that the next emperor will not learn from Ning Taizu to suppress them?
So they must have their own backbone in the court! No, the Believers who are scattered!
In the officialdom, there are many officials cultivated by Taiping Dao, and their parents either have status in Taiping Dao, or they have been adopted by Taiping Dao since childhood, and they are loyal.
As for the number of people who have become officials from the Taiping Road, I'm afraid even they don't know it, but if anyone says bad things about the Taiping Road in front of His Majesty or the Queen Mother, a group of people will immediately jump out to accuse this person, and then suppress it, and finally let him and his family slowly disappear on trumped-up charges!
Many ministers of the imperial court are well aware of this, because you don't know, whether your colleagues, subordinates, and even the people next to you have eyes and ears for peace have them, and how much evidence has they collected?
Therefore, once the imperial examination is launched, the threat to the Taiping Dao is the greatest, after all, people who have been brainwashed by religion since childhood, and then go to Confucianism, can you keep up with the footsteps of the younger generations of Confucianism? But if you cultivate a confidant from a young age, even if you are not afraid of him changing jobs, you have to think about how many years it will take?
A year can change a lot of things, let alone a decade or twenty!
If during this period of time, Taiping Dao is unable to inject their fresh blood into the officialdom, and wait for those high-ranking and powerful henchmen to become officials one after another, with what they are doing now, even if the emperor doesn't care, will the new batch of Confucian ministers tolerate them again to intervene and ride on their heads?
This is also the reason why the DPRK and China are now divided into two factions!
The imperial examination proposed by Dong Ce is not just a jinshi, or a person can become an official, but can only enter the Hanlin Academy, from a protégé of the Son of Heaven to a close minister of the Son of Heaven, in this way, in fact, it will not hinder the interests of the scholars in a short period of time, let alone the locality.
And during this time, they can also train their heirs to become Confucian scholars, even if the knowledge is not the best, with their power, can't they go through the back door or something?
But it's different for the Taiping Dao, not to mention whether they will train Confucianism, just say that once the imperial examination is opened, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no henchmen who will be suspicious, after all, they are human beings, and if they are people, they will have selfish desires, not for themselves, but also for the younger generations, so that future generations will not waste time in the rough classics of the Taiping Dao, but devote themselves to the ocean of Confucianism.
In this way, from generation to generation, can Taiping Daoyan not be left behind?
So they used all their strength to stop the implementation of the imperial examination!
But the Queen Mother was moved, and all the Confucian scholars in the world looked at it with their horses, Taiping Dao can't let millions of disciples fight against them, they are treating people as fools, the imperial examination is beneficial to Confucianism, and at the same time it is more beneficial to the poor and the people, as long as you learn Confucianism well, everyone can be an official, what is more tempting than this?
Since Taiping Dao spared no effort to crack down on the imperial examination, why did Dong Ce say that they did not stand in line! This is all because they can only do it in secret, and on the surface they have nothing to do with Taiping Dao, and there are very few people who can see through this.
Even Ding Lao didn't think about it for the first time, and it wasn't until he was woken up by Dong Ce that he knew the importance of this!
"Your Majesty, the national teacher is ignoring it openly, secretly suppressing, all he wants to say in the imperial court, but the heat of the imperial examination is getting more and more intense, and now not only tens of thousands of teachers and students of the entire Tai Academy are running around for this, but even the folk Confucian scholars are also involved, especially the local officials who have come out of the cold door, they have begun to preach, and if it goes on like this, it will take less than a year, and the world will know about the imperial examination, and when the time comes, it will not be the imperial court itself that wants to open the imperial examination, but the world will force the imperial court to open it!"
Ding Lao took a deep breath, and said: "Now the situation is urgent, whoever can implement the imperial examination first, who can get the support of all the people in the world, and win the hearts of all the people, is a sage, no one wants to let go of this honor, even if it is the same as the national teacher, but he is unknown, and he can't interfere openly, that is, why doesn't Your Majesty give him a chance, if he can get the support of the national teacher, there will be nearly half of the courtiers in the court to serve Your Majesty!" ”
Huang Jin's heart was hot when he heard this, but he was not stupid, he quickly calmed down, frowned, and said: "But the imperial examination is Confucianism, how can the national teacher participate?" ”
"Your Majesty, isn't it what you say! Of course, now Confucianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if you don't take it, you will be spurned by the world, but if you mainly test Confucianism, plus some other subjects, such as the Taiping Sutra! ”
Huang Jin became even more depressed when he heard this, and said: "I have read the Taiping Sutra, and there are many puzzles about it, but I asked the Ming Dao people, but he said that I was more and more confused, and some places are not as deep as my understanding, is it really good to let them participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Ding Lao sweated in his heart, after all, he was a person who came from that era, how could he not know what the situation of Taiping Dao was.
It's just a few guys who were expelled from the division by the Heavenly Master, and it is rumored that they were driven out of the door because of the demagogy of the Heavenly Master's Taoism, and the revelation of the deception of the woman of the good family to go to bed was revealed.
Even these guys who are now in charge and masters have only learned half a bucket of water, not to mention their disciples, what kind of goods is Qianming, how good can the guys who run to the Changyang Hou Mansion two times in three days be? His Majesty asked him, it was simply an insult to himself!
But it is precisely because the Taiping Dao is very clear, in terms of the Tao Sutra and Doctrine, they are not as good as the Heavenly Master Dao, what else can they do if they poach people from the Heavenly Master Dao?
But today, the master has completely transformed from five buckets of rice, and profits by spreading faith, so that not only can soothe people's hearts, but also not worry about being convicted by the court, but will be supported by the court, therefore, the Heavenly Master Dao not only no one jumped to the Taiping Dao, but to discuss the Taoist problem with the Taiping Dao, which made the Taiping Dao feel a huge crisis, and the facts have also proved that with the debate between the two Taoist schools, the Taiping Dao quickly fell behind, and it seemed that he was about to become a sanctimonious villain in the eyes of others, and they were angry and anxious. He mobilized the believers in the government and began to suppress the Heavenly Master Dao with all his might, and even many sects, and even Buddhism, were forced to suffer by them.
It is precisely because of this that Ning Taizu spoke!
Who made Taiping Dao suddenly show its terrifying strength, which made Ning Taizu frightened, secretly thinking that only the king is the king who commands the hundred officials, and you can do the same as a sect, so who is this world? (To be continued.) )
