Chapter 781: Literary Controversy
The scenery around Cuiyu is beautiful, even if Li Xin, who has visited the famous mountains and scenic spots, enters it, he can't help but point it, and the mountain peaks in the distance are stacked and green, blowing a cool air.
"Surrounded by green hills, pines and cypresses; The mountains come to court, like a star arch; Lin Dai is listed, and the valley is quiet. No wonder this place is called Huancuiyu. Li Xin nodded, looked around and said, "This place is not only a place for leisure and play, but also a good place to study!" Dengshan, what do you say? ”
"Your Majesty." Chu Suiliang also nodded and said, "The scenery here is beautiful, but it is a place to study with peace of mind." ”
"In that case, let's build a school here and let all the students come here to study!" Li Xin said with a smile: "The imperial court has Taixue and Guozijian, and there should also be a government school in the local area, Xingyang's government school is here, and the scholars of Henan can come here to study after passing the county test and winning the show, and the court will pay the tuition fees and give compensation." ”
"Your Majesty's move will definitely be passed on to future generations." Chu Suiliang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and said. The rest of the generals also said that this was Li Xin's resistance to the traditional private schools, clan studies, and academies, gathering all the scholars under the command of the imperial court to avoid being influenced by those big families, and the students who learned would only serve the imperial court.
If it is said that studying at the township level is just enlightenment, and the students at the county level already have the initial potential to become officials, such a person can take the government examination as long as he works a little hard, become a lifter, and then go to Beijing to study or take the exam.
"In the school of government, not only the way of poetry and classics should be opened, but also the way of arithmetic, law, agriculture, medicine, and martial arts, and those students must take these subjects. Arithmetic, law, agriculture, and medicine must all be taught, and we should not only let these scholars learn from heaven and man, be full of economy, and understand the principles of governing the country while studying. It is also necessary to give them the means to earn a living, not to mention, arithmetic, law, agriculture, and medicine are all needed by the imperial court. Li Xin said seriously: "What should a county order know? If you don't even know the laws of the Tang Dynasty, how to interrogate the criminals, how to determine the guilt of the other party, and what kind of punishment should be given? These things need to be learned, not mastered. At the very least, you have to understand. There is also martial arts, if you don't have a strong body, how can you do things for the imperial court, so practicing martial arts is also needed, how old is a showman, at most when he is a teenager, at this time, it is just the time to exercise. ”
"Your Majesty is very true." Chu Suiliang showed a hint of embarrassment. In fact, weak scholars were already prevalent at this time. Even Chu Suiliang is one of them.
"Your Majesty, a student has to learn so much, so is there still time to take the top Jinshi exam?" Pei Yuanqing couldn't help but say.
"There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. As long as you study seriously. You can take the test. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "These things are just dabbling, and they won't waste much time." ”
"Your Majesty's words point out the essence of reading, and the minister thinks it should be engraved on the big stone in front of the door of Taixue." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said. Li Jing also touched his beard and nodded, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.
"Huh. That's fine. Li Xin doesn't know who said this, but since Chu Suiliang didn't say the source of this sentence, it shows that this is the time. I haven't said this sentence yet, so I nodded cheekily, anyway, I copied a lot, and it wouldn't be a big deal to copy one more sentence at this time.
At this time, everyone went around a mountain peak, and the sound of gurgling water came into their ears, but they saw a pool of clear water in front of their eyes, there was a huge stone by the pool, there was an old man and a group of scholars and scholars sitting in several rows around the stone, Li Xin looked carefully, there were more than 100 people.
"Donggaozi's predecessors are also good wine?" Li Xin looked at the stone in the middle, and saw an old man in a green robe, but there was a wine gourd next to him, and a trace of the fragrance of wine came over. Immediately asked curiously.
"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Ji's favorite thing is wine, he can leave anything, but the only thing he can't do without is wine, and his favorite drink is heroic blood." Shen Qianqiu said.
"I didn't expect that he actually likes to drink heroic blood, speaking of which, people who like to drink should be broad-minded and can accommodate some things that the world can't tolerate, why can't he tolerate female students?" Li Xin asked with some curiosity.
"Your Majesty, there is still a word that has not been said, in front of the interests of the family, personal preferences are put aside." Chu Suiliang explained in a low voice.
Li Xin's face moved, nodded, he walked up by himself, did not greet everyone, but found a place to sit down, he wanted to listen carefully to what kind of character this Donggaozi was.
I have to say that although this Donggaozi is good wine, every time he says a few words, he has to drink a sip of wine, but what he talks about is very interesting, and everyone next to him nodded again and again, even Li Xin also feels that this old thing still has a hand in learning, but unfortunately, this old thing may represent the interests of the family, and he Li Xin is the opposite.
"Boss, there is no morning for the chicken. The morning of the rooster is the only way to find home. What does this mean? Late-born countryside recently found a chicken Si Chen, why is this? At this time, someone in the crowd stood up and asked.
"Your Majesty, this sentence is from the Book of Shang. Pastoral Oath" means? Chu Suiliang was about to explain, but saw Li Xin waving his hand.
"Dengshan doesn't need to explain, I understand the meaning of this sentence." Li Xin glanced at the man, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, whether this person really didn't understand this sentence, or pretended not to understand.
"Can the chicken be in the morning? This is a curse! Wang Ji said disdainfully: "The operation of the Heavenly Dao has its own reason, the outline is eternal, and the righteousness is eternal, which is a fact that cannot be changed at any time." ”
Li Xinzhong was even more disdainful, if he didn't have his own appearance, a few decades later, a woman named Wu Meiniang would appear, which changed this fact, and it was not impossible for Si Chen to be a chicken.
However, Li Xin didn't say anything, a Wu Zetian is a special case after all, in this era, men will always occupy the dominant power, Li Xin is only a reasonable promotion of social progress, but it will definitely not change the process of society, it is almost impossible to achieve equality between men and women in one step.
"Some time ago, when the old man was in Longmen, I heard that the queen mother and the lady concubine built a female school in Beijing, which is a good thing, the two mothers have mercy on the world, and find a way for the women of the world, there are many women who join them, become nurses, or learn female red, which is a good thing, but some women enter it, but they want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and live up to the good intentions of the two mothers." At this time, Dong Gaozi shook his head again and sighed: "Actually, female red and nurses are both a kind of survival skills, but other poetry avenues, but there is no need to learn them." The words of these saints are just things used to govern the country and secure the country, and if they are learned by women, sooner or later they will cause trouble. The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. The saint is like this, although the two mothers have a merciful heart, but this move is too manipulative. ”
Li Xin suddenly became worse when he heard this, what the old guy said in front of him was praising the eldest grandson Wujian and Yao Muxue, but the back directly pointed out the problems in the female school.
Is there a problem with female schooling? There must be a problem, and everything has more or less drawbacks, but Dong Gaozi wants to use these small problems to oppose women's studies, which is not the result that Li Xin wants.
"Yuanqing, come here." Li Xin beckoned Yuanqing and whispered a few words in his ear, Pei Yuanqing seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he still stood up.
"Boss, the late students have different opinions." Pei Yuanqing said loudly: "Later life thinks that the boss's judgment on Confucius is wrong, and it should be the people who can make it; You can't make it, you know it. Boss, is what Wansheng said right? ”
"You this?" Pei Renji's face changed after hearing this, and he was about to reprimand loudly, but he was met by Li Xin's dissatisfied eyes, and he was immediately frightened and stopped talking, and sat on the side.
"Ahh After Chu Suiliang heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, but in the end, his eyes lit up, as if he was in thought.
What he didn't know was that this sentence had been controversial for thousands of years, and when Confucius left these words, they were only burned on bamboo slips, and those who could know the original face of this sentence had disappeared into the long river of history, leaving only such a line of words, and those who did not have punctuation marks could only study it according to this interpretation. It wasn't until later that there was a big controversy that lasted for decades.
Dong Gaozi's complexion changed suddenly, he looked at Pei Yuanqing deadly, then seemed to feel something, glanced at Li Jing, and then glanced at Du Ruhui, and finally his gaze fell on Li Xin, and there was a look of sudden realization in the depths of his eyes.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to come here, but it's a faux pas for the grass people." Wang Ji stood up and said to Li Xin.
"The old-timers are the masters of the literary world, Li Xin is just a junior, today I, Li Xin, came in cloth clothes, and I am not the identity of the emperor, but I came to listen to the old gentleman's lectures." Li Xin knew that he would definitely not be able to hide Wang Ji's identity, because there was Li Jing, a silver-bearded and mighty general, next to him, Wang Ji must have seen Li Jing, a great general, and after a little guess, he knew his identity. At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "Although Yuan Qing is a fierce general and a junior, the younger generation thinks that it is necessary to seriously discuss the sentence just now. What does the Grand Master think? (To be continued.) )
