Chapter 265: The fight has begun
Li Wenjun thought that he was unparalleled in wisdom, but Wang Mang had no choice but to hang up, and all his actions fell into Wang Mang's eyes.
In the imperial study, Wang Mang smiled slightly and said, "Li Lan, order Shang Yang to come to see me." β
Li Lan hurried away, sighing in his heart that he was already a deacon-level big eunuch, how could he still do this kind of errand work that only a little eunuch could do, but thinking about how he still had a holy family in the end, he thought about it.
Shang Yang came to the imperial study room a little inexplicably, saw Wang Mang, saluted, and listened to Wang Mang: "Shang Yang, what do you think of Jixia School Palace?"
"A bunch of rotten old men!" Shang Yang said disdainfully.
That's an interesting way to put it. Although Wang Mang had long known that Shang Yang had always been very indifferent to the traditional school, he was still a little surprised to hear Shang Yang say this at this moment.
"Why did Your Majesty ask about them?" Shang Yang was a little strange, the Jixia School Palace was indeed famous all over the world, but Daqin was far away from the Qi Kingdom, the base camp of the Jixia School Palace, and he didn't have any contacts, and even Shang Yang remembered that if he remembered correctly, the last time the bachelors from the Jixia School Palace came to Daqin, it was a hundred years ago.
"Two people from the Jixia School Palace arrived in Daqin, and they also found Zhang Jian and asked Zhang Jian to help one of them participate in the examination that will be held in the Imperial Palace. Wang Mang didn't hide it from Shang Yang, and told Shang Yang about the Jixia School Palace.
When Shang Yang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said with a gloomy expression: "These old things, their hands have grown a little, Your Majesty, do you want Weichen to make a move and teach them a lesson." β
"No, you don't. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "The sage said, it is not pleasant to have friends come from afar, and the other party is not making trouble, so we don't need to make things tense." β
"Your Majesty said yes. Shang Yang nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, Jixia School Palace, it seems to be a decent family, but in fact it is insidious and cunning, they must have a plan here, and Your Majesty needs to be prepared in advance." β
"So didn't I bring you here?" Wang Mang said, "I want to hear your opinion, do you think you should let the person from the Jixia Academy Palace take the exam." β
"Your Majesty, by no means. Shang Yang hurriedly stopped: "Jixia School Palace, I have always been eyeing the Great Qin academic community, especially in recent years, under the strong rise of Bailu Academy, Jixia School Palace has shown a declining trend, and the two factions are in Qi State, Zhao State, Chu and other countries are very happy, compared to the academic circles of other countries, my Daqin's academic circles can be regarded as calm, at this moment the introduction of the people of the Jixia School Palace into the imperial court, will make the White Deer Academy vigilant, but also send people into Qin, when the two factions of people fight each other in Great Qin, the imperial court vows that it will not be able to watch from the wall, but once the imperial court intervenes in the affairs of the two factions, then above the court, Your Majesty will be rarely stable. β
Shang Yang's words surprised Wang Mang at the time, Wang Mang originally planned to introduce that Chen Chusheng into Daqin, but now it seems that this matter is not so simple.
Jixia School Palace and White Deer Academy are fighting? Jixia School Palace is on the defensive?
Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know all this?"
"Your Majesty, before Wei Chen entered the Great Qin, he also played the world, and he had some understanding of the situation of various countries, and it was because of this that the minister firmly believed that the Jixia School Palace was going to lead the water to the west. Shang Yang said: "The minister is sure that if the person from the Jixia School Palace that His Majesty said enters Daqin, it won't be long before there will be a second, third, or even more disciples of the Jixia School Palace in Daqin, and the White Deer Academy will never sit back and watch the Jixia School Palace become big in Daqin." β
"Great Qin is my Great Qin, am I still afraid that they will not succeed. Wang Mang was a little displeased.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm afraid of them, I just don't want to cause trouble. Shang Yang shook his head and said: "Great Qin is now under the leadership of His Majesty, the country is thriving, it won't take long for Great Qin to be ranked as a powerful country in the world, and at this time of development, it is really inconvenient for the Great Qin Committee to intervene in the affairs of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy." β
"What are the Jixia Academy and the White Deer Academy fighting for?" Wang Mang asked.
"Orthodoxy. Shang Yang said: "Jixia School Palace and Bailu Academy are both saint protΓ©gΓ©s, previously, Jixia School Palace is in Qi State, occupying the prosperous Central Plains, you are the first school in the world, any person in the School Palace, all let Qi, Zhao, Yan and other big countries worship him as a teacher, as for other small countries are worshiped as gods, and Bailu Academy in Chu State, has been developing silently, in Chu and Wei has great influence, but ......"
Shang Yang changed his words and continued: " Thirty years ago, Wei Wuji, the general of Wei, sent troops to attack Wu, all the way to Wu almost annihilated, the prime minister of Wu at the time, Tian Ying, who was born in the Jixia School Palace, was killed, Wu Ziyu, the prince of Wu, stood up at a critical moment, and Wei Wuji signed the Linjiang Peace Treaty in Linjiang City, the capital of Wu, Wei Wuji retreated, the reason why this is the case, is because Wu Ziyu's teacher is a mountain chief of the White Deer Academy, and now it is said that he has become the vice president of the academy, and after this incident, Wu Guo, which was originally within the sphere of influence of the Jixia School Palace, became the sphere of influence of the White Deer Academy. β
It was from that time that the Jixia School Palace and the White Deer Academy began a thirty-year dispute over academic orthodoxy. Shang Yang said: "At this time, the battle between the two sides has reached a white-hot stage, and Wechen is sure that Jixia Xuegong must be trying to include Daqin in its sphere of influence in order to increase popularity, and even Weichen guesses that the people of Bailu Academy are now on their way to Daqin." β
Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang deeply, and couldn't help but sigh that he could let the system issue tasks, and let himself look at the talents recruited by the thatched cottage was really powerful, Shang Yang almost got to the point, and even the prediction was very accurate, if Wang Mang didn't know Shang Yang's situation, he even thought that the person standing in front of him was the high-level of Jixia Academy or Bailu Academy.
Seeing that Wang Mang didn't speak, Shang Yang knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers weep blood and advise Your Majesty not to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the Jixia Academy and the White Deer Academy, when this Great Qin is prosperous, Great Qin must not become a place where the two factions are at war." β
Wang Mang sighed and said lightly: "Shang Yang, the people from Bailu Academy have arrived. β
Shang Yang looked up at Wang Mang suddenly, and said with a shocked expression: "How did they come so quickly, Your Majesty are sure?"
"Chang'an. Wang Mang said lightly.
In fact, before today, Wang Mang didn't know the rights and wrongs of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy, and even Wang Mang didn't know about Bailu Academy.
A quarter of an hour ago, Wang Mang knew about the White Deer Academy from Shang Yang's mouth, and a moment ago, Wang Mang saw that the people of the White Deer Academy and the people of the Jixia Academy had met, and now ...... Wang Mang's face was a little stunned.
Looking at Wang Mang's expression, Shang Yang was a little puzzled, and his brain was spinning rapidly, but for a while, the information was incomplete, and Shang Yang didn't know what to say, and finally just said: "Could it be that the people of Bailu Academy also want to take the exam and enter Daqin?"
"Nope. Wang Mang shook his head, looked at Shang Yang and said with a smile: "Right now, the people from Jixia Academy and the people from Bailu Academy have already fought on Chang'an Avenue. β
