The debate between the students of the four disciplines and the students of Taixue completely caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an. And this time, many students from poor families also became very excited, because they were finally able to debate with the scholars openly, which was a very huge progress. You must know that in the past, the scholars did not bother to debate with poor students, because the scholars pretended to be high and disdained to debate with these mud-legged people from the cold families. They even think that they have the final right to interpret the Confucian classics, so they disdain to debate with the Hanmen, because their words are the Heavenly Principles, which are the ultimate truths. So they debate, that's self-depreciation. And after this debate, the poor students represented by the four schools successfully seized the opportunity and debated with the scholars.

This debate, whether it succeeds or fails, has been very effective. This is a huge blow to the cultural interpretation right of the scholars, because the ordinary people have also seen that the children of the poor family are also qualified to debate with the scholars, and the scholars cannot continue to monopolize this cultural interpretation right without scruples. Since then, ordinary people have one more choice for their understanding of culture, and there is no need to specifically look for those scholars to explain, and the scholars' interpretation of culture is not as supreme as in the past, and they do not have the absolute right to interpret as before.

The impact of this debate can be regarded as a violent blow to the cultural monopoly of the scholars, and from then on, the superstition of ordinary people towards the scholars will be much lower. Because some people dare to come out and debate with the scholars, that is, it can show that the Confucian classics are not something that the scholars can continue to monopolize and continue to decide in one word, and there is a new way of interpretation, which means that there can be another class competition. In this way, the people can also begin to truly understand the poor children around them, so that they can see that the poor children also have the right to interpret the Confucian classics.

In particular, the new sentence breaking method of "the people can make it impossible to know", which made many poor students very excited. Because this new method of sentence breaking also shows that Confucius supported the opening of the people's wisdom. And not the one who wants to fool the people. As long as it is confirmed from the right of interpretation that Confucius supported the opening of the people's wisdom, then all kinds of schools in the future are reasonable and legal, and it is logical. Therefore, this is a shackle for the people to be spiritually freed, so that in the future, the scholars will not be able to restrict the people from studying. In the past, they tried to restrict the people from reading, and they had to do their best to restrict the people if they didn't study, but now they can't stand it. So reading has become everyone's right. It's just that whether you can enjoy this power depends on your own economic strength and opportunities. However, compared with the situation in the past when ordinary people were not qualified to study, the situation that ordinary people were restricted from reading by the scholars was considered to have solved a big shackle.

And Zhang Chao was a little successful this time, when he returned to his home, he met a woman.

"Dr. Zhang, what a means! Through this debate, you will not only be able to make the students of the Four Disciplines recognize the true face of the scholars, but you will also be able to break the prison that the scholars have set up for many years. It's not easy. The important prisons that the scholars spent countless years setting up have actually been cracked by you? It seems that you are very good at taking advantage of the situation and very able to take advantage of the opportunity. After this time, those poor disciples of the four schools recognized the faces of the scholars clearly, and let them know that it was impossible for them to be truly friendly with the scholars. The scholars have always looked down on them, treating them as mud legs and lowly people. ”

"And after this time. The students in the four schools are completely disappointed in the scholars, and they will inevitably embark on the road of confrontation with the scholars from their hearts. Originally, although they were oppressed by the nobles. However, he may not think of fighting against the scholars and competing for power and profit with the scholars. But in your debate, and then they have inevitably embarked on the path of confronting the nobles, and you have forced them into the path of confronting the nobles. Once they participated in the debate, they had already entered the hearts of the scholars, and it was impossible for them to gain the trust and appointment of the scholars from now on. Even if they are willing to be a dog of the nobles. The nobles will not be willing to appoint them, because they have fought against them. And the only thing they can do is to follow you and then embark on the road of fighting against the Scholars until they are driven out of officialdom. ”

When Zhang Chao heard this, his eyelids immediately jumped. This woman is not ordinary! It's so easy to analyze your own thoughts, this lesson is really not simple. Because Zhang Chao knew that although those students of the four schools were students of his own four schools, they might not choose to go against the scholars. There are too few people who have the courage to oppose the scholars, they have adapted to the environment of this world, and they have adapted to the supremacy of the scholars in this world. It's like later generations did not understand the oppression of the ancients, and the ancients may not approve of the democracy of the later generations. This is also a so-called sub-non-fish Anzhi fish joy of the truth. Although those poor students in ancient times were oppressed by the scholars, they lived in this era of the rule of the scholars since they were children, so their outlook on life, world outlook and values from childhood were in line with this era. Although they are oppressed, they all recognize this oppressed fate.

Therefore, they may not have the courage to jump out and compete with the scholars for power and profit, and this needs to be guided. And who else can there be besides Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao actually has his own purpose, hoping to provoke the conflict between the four schools and Taixue. Taixue represents the scholar class, while Simenxue represents the Hanmen class. The conflict between the two schools is actually a microcosm of the conflict between the Shi clan and the Hanmen Shu clan. But unlike the blood unity of the Shi clan, too many people from the cold family are scattered. The Hanmen did not have the connection of the family bloodline, and could not be effectively united, which caused the Hanmen to have much more power than the Shi clan, but they could not effectively twist into a rope to fight against the Shi clan.

They may not have the courage to confront the scholars, so Zhang Chao chose to use this so-called debate to force these students of the four schools to the opposite side of the scholars. Once these students participate in the debate, they will all be blacklisted by the scholars in the future, and they will never be reconciled with the scholars. The Shi clan will not let go of those who are against them at these levels, so they have no other way than to unite and fight against Zhang Chao together. This is also Zhang Chao's strategy to go up to the house and draw the ladder, so that they have no way back.

"Hahahaha. Miss, you are really smart, but even if you tell me about this plan, do you think the scholars will take it seriously? Zhang Chao asked.

"They won't take it seriously, and they'll continue to exclude those students from the four disciplines. Hundreds of years of domination over the Central Plains have made the scholars extremely arrogant. It's empty. Even if they knew that you wanted to cut off those students from the four schools, they wouldn't care. Because of their hundreds of years of arrogance, it has reached the marrow of the marrow. They look down on the poor, they look down on them from the bottom of their bones, they have become accustomed to the inertia of the past hundreds of years, and they cannot change it. They will never take the cold door seriously, they will never look down on the cold door, their noble blood has already made them get carried away. So they're in danger. ”

Zhang Chao immediately asked, "Oh? Miss, who are you? ”

"Zheng Liwan, Zheng Liwan of the Zheng family in Xingyang!" Zheng Liwan replied.

"Oh? Zheng Liwan? Jung In-ki's daughter? Zhang Chao asked tentatively.

"That's right!" Zheng Liwan replied.

Zhang Chao thought of this woman's information, it turned out that there was a Zheng Liwan in the TV series of her life, she was Zheng Renji's daughter and almost married Li Shimin. And there is also a record of Zheng's daughter in the real history books, but because of the marriage contract in advance, she was not able to successfully marry Li Shimin. But I didn't expect to see this Zheng Liwan. This surprised Li Ke very much. And this Zheng Liwan directly revealed her purpose from the beginning, but Zhang Chao didn't tell anyone about this purpose. But Zheng Liwan even revealed. Zhang Chao will not be afraid, because the scholars have been arrogant for hundreds of years, and they have been advantageous for hundreds of years, and they don't look down on the poor family at all. This kind of contempt, this kind of condescension, this is something that has been integrated into the bone marrow.

It's like China's Central Plains civilization. They treat the small countries around them from the bottom of their bones. China has always regarded the countries around it as its own vassals, and they are all barbarians and other countries, and they look down on them at all. Until the First Sino-Japanese War, China regarded Japan as a small and weak country. Completely ignoring their rise. This is actually a kind of ostrich mentality, when encountering things and not thinking about how to solve them, but blindly belittles the enemy, by belittling the enemy and elevating themselves, so that they can have a so-called sense of superiority in their hearts.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was an era in which the Han clan and the scholar clan were in decline, and it was the last glory of the scholar clan. However, the power of the Hanmen has risen obviously, but the scholars are not unaware, but they have looked down on the Hanmen because of the so-called nobility for hundreds of years. Even if the Hanmen and them start to fight for power and profit, they all think that it is ants shaking the tree and do not take it seriously. Their sense of superiority is obtained by belittling the personality of the Hanmen, and their descendants have also inherited this sense of superiority, and they simply look down on the rise of the Hanmen in their bones. Just like the Manchu Qing in later generations, in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies, not only did they not think about how to resist, but instead said that the other party was a barbarian, and then let themselves gain a psychological advantage.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to hit the cold door, but they can't do it at all. Because of the increase in productivity, the rise of the poor class is already a historical inevitability. Even if there is no Zhang Chao, the Hanmen will inevitably be able to lift up and defeat the Shi clan. But these clans are not unaware of this situation, but they are also very powerless in the face of the rise of the poor class. This struggle between classes cannot be resolved by killing one or two people. Even if they kill Zhang Chao, will they be able to curb the rise of Hanmen? No! Unless they kill all the poor people in the world, but this is impossible. If there is no cold door, how can it reflect the nobility of the scholars? Hanmen is a ruler, but it is actually a ruler for measuring the scholars. It's like a good guy and a bad guy, if there are no bad guys, then how can you measure the "goodness" of a good guy! Without evil, there can be no justice. Light and darkness complement each other, and each is the ruler of the other. If there is no low-level ruler of the Hanmen, it will not be able to reflect the power of the ruler of the Shi clan.

Therefore, it is impossible for the scholars to kill all the children of the poor family, because this is just the relationship between the ruling class and the ruled class. If there is no ruling class, then the ruling class does not exist. Zhang Chao's so-called confrontation with the Shi clan is not to eliminate the ruling class, but only to hope that the ruling class will not be rigidly fixed in a certain family, and the ruling class he hopes for is a mobile existence, and the ruled class is also qualified to become the ruling class through its own efforts. It is a healthy flow, not the current situation of being monopolized by a small number of people.

"Miss Zheng, I want to know what is the use of you coming to me?" Zhang Chao asked.

"I want to help you, you need me to help you. You need my help with your career! Zheng Liwan said directly.

Zhang Chao asked rhetorically: "Why?" ”

Zhang Chao's "why" is actually a pun, in addition to asking Zheng Liwan why he chose to help him. There is also a very important reason, that is, to ask Zheng Liwan why she betrayed her class to help the poor class. It's not so easy to betray your own class, so Zhang Achenghong felt very surprised, why did Zheng Liwan betray her own class?

"When a person looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction. And what I want, the scholars can't give it to me. Zheng Liwan said.

Zhang Chao immediately knew that Zheng Liwan's previous sentence was a famous quote in "How Steel is Made", and Zhang Chao had quoted it once in this time and space. Now that Zheng Liwan has also said this, Zhang Chao knows that Zheng Liwan must have investigated himself. But Zhang Chao didn't have too many surprises. Thinking that there are people around you to monitor at any time, maybe there are people from Li Shimin, and there are people from all walks of life, Zheng Liwan knows this is not surprising.

"I think I see what you mean!" Zhang Chao said.

"Talking to smart people, that's easy. I am a woman, and I can't get what I need from the gentry. I'm not willing to do nothing for the rest of my life, so I want to be able to work with you. Zheng Liwan replied.

Zhang Chao replied: "I see ambition in your eyes. Or should it be called ambition. ”

"Isn't that possible? Shouldn't women be ambitious? Zheng Liwan asked.

"I'm not against women being ambitious. Because in my eyes, everyone should have the right to achieve their own ambitions in life through their own efforts. And the scholars did not give me this right, so I also want to be suitable for the scholars. Zhang Chao said.

Zheng Liwan also said: "Yes, although I was born in the Shi clan, I am a woman, and the Shi clan has not given me this power." Therefore I will also oppose the nobles. If you are willing to give me this power, then I am willing to help you. ”

Zhang Chao quickly understood that Zheng Liwan's idea was actually very simple. The reason why Zheng Liwan chose to "betray" her class was because of the oppression of women by ancient feudal thinking. Although those scholars are scholars, they are also patriarchal. They gave birth to daughters. But daughters have no right to inherit, and for those women of noble families, it is also very sad in the eyes of many future generations. The daughters of those ancient big families had to receive all kinds of education since they were young, brainwashing them, and making them sacrifice for the family in the future. And those big families have brainwashed the women in those families since they were young, saying that they are born to sacrifice for the family, and the price of sacrifice is their freedom to marry.

They have to marry a man they don't like or even meet for the sake of their family, and then live for the rest of their lives. But what do they get? These women have nothing to gain, they women marry a man they don't like, and they don't get anything. They do not have the right to inherit the family business, nor do they have the qualifications to control the family, as if they were born to be a natural sacrifice for the family, a tool.

At the same time, the descendants of those male families can enjoy better benefits and are entitled to the right to inherit the family business through their own efforts. No matter how good a woman is, she cannot obtain the right to inherit the family business, which is also a natural gender disadvantage. Although many politician families in later generations did not exclude their daughters from inheriting the family business, it was not possible in ancient times. In ancient times, gender factors also determined your fate, and women were born to be discriminated against by the family, destined to only be able to give, but not to gain.

However, although under this feudal etiquette, there has never been a shortage of women who dare to challenge feudal etiquette. There are all kinds of historical stories, as well as all kinds of folklore.

Zheng Liwan can't get what she wants in the Zheng family, what she wants is a glorious life, and she won't be buried in the family all her life, being a housewife, and teaching her husband and children every day. She was determined by her ambitions, but the noble class could not let her realize her own ambitions. The Shi clan is an absolute supporter of male superiority and inferiority, even if Zheng Liwan has more talent, her gender factor is destined to not be able to enter the core of the family.

Zheng Liwan is an excellent woman, and excellent people have a problem, that is, they have great ambitions or ambitions. What Zheng Liwan wants is not the kind of backyard mansion where she is busy with the backyard of the house every day, but what she is looking forward to is to gain her own foothold in the big chessboard of the world. But the scholars can't give her, the scholars are absolute supporters and supporters of the natural male superiority and female inferiority, and this male superiority and female inferiority is also one of the foundations of their family, so no matter how good Zheng Liwan is, it is impossible for them to invalidate their own family foundation. The Shi clan relied on the family lineage, so naturally they would not allow the size of the family to be disrupted. And the practice of inheriting feudal etiquette made Zheng Liwan unable to get the opportunity to realize his ideals.

At this time, Zheng Liwan, as a woman, showed her emotional side. Zheng Liwan's emotional side is reflected, that is, she chooses to betray her class, chooses to support Zhang Chao, and chooses to cooperate with Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao needs excellent people to help, and he also needs someone who can be familiar with the Shi clan, and even excellent people. The Shi clan can't give her the opportunities he needs to realize his ideals, so if Zhang Chao is willing to give her this opportunity, then she can also support Zhang Chao. Anyway, it doesn't matter what family or class she has, because as a woman, she is far more emotional than rational.

The Zheng family in Xingyang did not give her real treatment, and for those big families, they did not regard their daughter as a member of their own family, but only as a victim of the family's interests. Since the Zheng family in Xingyang just regarded Zheng Liwan as a sacrifice and a tool to win over the Lu family, and the Lu family also hoped to use Zheng Liwan to cling to the Zheng family. And Zheng Liwan was chosen to be sacrificed by the family before she was born, so Zheng Liwan has no sense of belonging to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and even has no sense of belonging to the entire scholar class. The Shi clan didn't really take care of her interests, the Shi clan didn't really pay attention to the interests of these women from the Shi clan, they just blindly let them pay, and Zheng Liwan had no pressure to betray her.

Giving and reaping should be reciprocal, the scholars just ask those women of the scholar clan to pay, but they have never been able to really repay them, so they just give, there is no gain. If it were an ordinary woman, she might choose to accept her fate. But Zheng Liwan won't, she is very good, and he naturally has the courage to challenge this feudal etiquette. In her mind, she may have died on the way to challenge her own destiny in the end, but it was all in vain.

"Miss Zheng, that's a good point. In fact, we are all people along the way, and we are all people who are unwilling to be oppressed by fate. Many people may say that this is 'fate', but I believe more that fate is the excuse of the weak, and luck is the humility of the strong. We are all strong, so we will not believe in the so-called destiny. We will not surrender to the so-called fate, so we are just people all the way. Zhang Chao said.

Zhang Chao knew that Zheng Liwan would not be an undercover agent sent by the Shi clan, because Zhang Chao did hear ambition from her words, maybe it should be called ambition. An aspiring woman like this will not succumb to the fate of her family. This kind of woman can be said to be a strange woman in the feudal era, smart, wise, and has a very strong will, they understand very well the oppression and discrimination of the family against them, so some of them dare to rebel against fate. This kind of person will not be lacking in any era, so Zhang Chao knows that Zheng Liwan is a person who can be trusted. Because even if she is willing to be an undercover agent for the family, then she will still be discriminated against by the family in the future, which is incomprehensible. So she can only choose to cooperate with Zhang Chao, so that she can realize her ambition. (To be continued......)
