Chapter Twenty-Four: The Emperor's Entrance Examination

However, in this way, you will have the opportunity to enter the Guozijian to study, and it will be relatively much easier to be promoted, because the students of the Guozijian are usually one out of every four or five people, which is much higher than that of students from other places.

Li Kang thanked Emperor Lizong and said, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" If he is really a high school jinshi, he will definitely thank Mr. Xie! It's just that my husband refuses to leave his name, and my father and son don't know what to do! ”

Emperor Lizong stroked his beard and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" As long as you can truly serve your country! ”

Li Xiang interjected: "Old man, where did those people come from today? dared to rob the people's girls in broad daylight, if it weren't for the old gentleman coming forward, I was afraid that the bad guys would have succeeded! ”

Emperor Lizong's face sank, and he sighed: "What the little brother said is yes, there are indeed a group of traitors in the court now, but the old man believes that they won't be able to stumble for long!" So, little brother, you have to work hard to get into the Jinshi, he will enter the court one day, can you dare to fight with traitorous ministers? ”

Li Xiangzheng said: "I saw the old man's righteous act today, and I should follow suit after learning!" The younger generation also believes that the righteous way in the world is clear, and the saints today are just being deceived for a while, and one day, they will give me a prosperous and powerful scene in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

When Emperor Lizong heard such inspiring words, he couldn't help but be proud, as if he had returned to his youthful era, when he was transformed from a commoner to the Ninety-Five Emperor, and above the court, he also experienced several ups and downs, overthrowing Empress Yang, eradicating the traitorous Shi Miyuan, and finally seizing real power. During his reign, the Great Song Dynasty was the United Mongolian to destroy the Jin, avenging the revenge of the country, although the strategy of the United Mongolia does not seem to be too correct, but in the past twenty or thirty years, the Great Song Dynasty has developed well in all aspects, but it is still at a disadvantage compared with Mongolia militarily.

"Okay, the old man likes a hot-blooded boy like you! Today, I waited for a while, and the old man was also quite happy, Wang Wu, you go and order a table of good wine and good food, and the old man wants to have a drink with two friends! Emperor Lizong thought it was really interesting to leave the palace this time, so he came to the wine festival.

The waiter answered, and withdrew to tell the shop to prepare the food and drinks.

Since Emperor Lizong entered the palace, he has never been so relaxed as today, to say that he was also a commoner when he was young, although he was a descendant of the royal family, his father was just a minor official, and he lived a relatively hard life, but that life was very real and warm.

And after becoming the emperor, he faced intrigue all day long, which made him fully appreciate the feeling of being cold in a high place! There is no friend who can be put in his heart, and he has to be on guard against the plots of bad guys at any time, and there are even nomads in the north, who pose a huge threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that he is out of the palace, he feels extremely relaxed, Li Kang and his son are also quite appetizing for him, especially Li Xiang, a young man, Emperor Lizong has a faint feeling that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely become the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty one day!

Therefore, he put down his body, made friends with this father and son, and introduced famous teachers to Li Xiang.

After a while, the food and drinks were all on the table, and the three of them began to talk while eating and drinking. Li Zong naturally wanted to personally test Li Xiang's knowledge, and the things that were examined were the science that Emperor Li Zong had studied with great concentration. You must know that science at this time, under the vigorous promotion of Emperor Lizong, has even been listed as one of the contents of the imperial examination.

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Lizong smiled and said: "Little brother, the old man is happy today, so I will test you, I once said to the old master Zhu, save the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires, I don't know how the little brother understands?" ”

When Li Xiang heard this, he secretly said bitterly in his heart, such a topic is really tricky, because this question is too broad, and Li Xiang doesn't know much about the ancient Cheng Zhu science, after all, he is a modern person, and when he crossed over, he didn't integrate the memory of the owner of the body like the protagonist in many online novels.

How to answer? If you don't answer well, I'm afraid that the old gentleman will be flattened immediately, and my father will lose face. Generally speaking, Cheng Zhu Lixue carried forward the Confucian tradition of actively joining the WTO and caring for reality, absorbed and integrated the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism, and developed Confucianism into a huge ideological system integrating politics, philosophy, ethics and morality. Li Xiang also studied a little in college, whether it was history or philosophy, he would talk about Cheng Zhu Lixue.

Li Xiang's brain is running rapidly, although this science is profound and difficult to understand, but it generally has a great impact on the politics and ideology of the late period of Chinese feudal society, in the era of the Southern Song Dynasty, the science emphasizes loyalty to the monarch, integrity, patriotism and nationalism have played a role in promoting the hearts of the people, why not talk about it from this aspect? Maybe you can fool the past, but you can't say it doesn't have to.

At this time, Li Xiang naturally remembered Wen Tianxiang's famous poem, "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of the sweat", this poem inspired how many Chinese sons and daughters to go forward and die for the cause of the country and the nation!

After thinking for a while, Li Xiang opened his mouth and said: "The younger generation remembers that Zhu Zi said this, if a person has one heart, heaven will exist, and then people want to die; If people want to win, then heaven will perish. There is no heavenly reason and people want to be mixed. Scholars need to examine it in this context. That is to say, to connect the principles of heaven with human nature, and the principles of heaven are sex in people's hearts, and sex is reason. Emphasizing the goodness of human nature, people are virtuous and foolish, because of the different temperaments, the qi is turbid, the pure ones are virtuous, and the turbid ones are foolish. Turbidity and malignancy are human desires, and human desires run rampant, and if they blind their hearts, they will damage the principles of heaven. No one's desire is heaven's reason, so it is necessary to keep heaven's reason and eliminate people's desires. If you want to save the principles of heaven, you must first make the principles of tomorrow. And if you want to be rational tomorrow, you must be poor in things, and you will know the reason of things day by day, and if you accumulate more, you will be able to understand it suddenly. ”

After a pause, Li Xiang said again: "Extending to the big place, it is to ask my generation to aspire and cultivate himself, in order to finally reach the realm of the inner saint and the outer king, and the realm of governing the country and leveling the world!" As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Now that the Mongolian Tatars are pressing the border, and the country is in danger, our generation should be determined to work hard and benefit the life and death of the country. ”

In order to get by, Li Xiang also had to copy the words and sentences of later generations of famous masters with a weak heart.

Sure enough, not only did Emperor Lizong nod frequently when he heard this, but even Li Kang felt that his son's answer was really good!

Emperor Lizong slammed the table, and the cups and plates on the table jumped up, so frightened that Li Xiang thought that he had answered too badly, and the old gentleman was not satisfied!

However, Emperor Lizong laughed and said, "Good! The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! That's a great thing to say! If all the students in the world can be like a little brother, then why can't I be in the Song Dynasty? So how can Mongolian Fanzi occupy an inch of my Great Song Dynasty? Today, after listening to the little brother's passionate words, the old man suddenly felt that Huang Ruo had returned to his youth, and the old man was so high-spirited at that time! Come, for the sake of life and death for the sake of this sentence, how can you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune, and make another big toast! ”
