Chapter 465: How can Buddhism have true words?
Over the next few days, the speeches of the various schools of thought became more and more intense.
According to the rules, the participants in the debate will draw lots to determine the order of their speeches, and if it is the end of the speech, they will be reincarnated again in the predetermined order.
In this way, schools with a small number of participants, such as Yin-Yang Scholars, Novelists, Famous Scholars, and Miscellaneous Scholars, are very comfortable, because there are few participants, and almost everyone can have one or two opportunities to speak every day.
Unlike Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, which are full of people, everyone is given only one opportunity to speak for three days.
Of course, this also made them have to take this only opportunity as a treasure, and do enough homework before the speech, and everyone's handwritten manuscript alone is half a foot thick, and at the end of the evening, those who have not yet appeared will summarize the theories they have heard during the day and revise the manuscript again.
Therefore, every night, everywhere in the city, scholars can be heard whispering manuscripts, simulating the sound of speeches, one after another, all over the city.
Because Yao Ruoyu has been in retreat for the past three days, he has been in retreat to comprehend the unity of spirit and martial arts, so Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi, Guo Fengjie and others have inspected the campus on their behalf to find and record those talented speakers.
If these speakers are scholars from humble families or belong to rootless and sourceless, then Song Kai and the others will immediately ask the dark department to investigate this person, and after confirming that there is no problem with the origin and good conduct, they will quickly solicit the other party.
Of course, in addition to them, other neighboring forces also sent people to collect talents, such as Chu Wangfu, Xu Jingmiao and neighboring places such as Beibei and Tongnan, all sent their subordinates over.
When all forces shot together, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, Dawen only recruited forty-seven capable scholars in the end, most of whom were from poor families and had no backing background, so they could only find a big force in order to get promoted.
However, among these forty-seven people, there are three noble children from wealthy families.
They are from Yongchuan, Tongliang, Wulong, the three places, the family background is extraordinary, just because of the admiration of Dawen from the end of the rise of the deeds, so they came to admire, among which Chen Jinbo from Yongchuan took the initiative to meet Xu Xuanrong, hoping to be able to enter Dawen.
And among these people, the most outstanding performance in these speeches was Xu Yanli, a female bachelor from Huainan who was recruited by Guo Fengjie in Qiushui Building that day.
This woman gave a public speech as a child of a miscellaneous family, although both Guo Fengjie and Xu Xuanrong had doubts about whether this woman was born in a miscellaneous family, but it did not prevent her from making several wonderful speeches that attracted a lot of fans.
On the evening of the third day, the official in charge of counting the final votes of each school had already submitted the list to Xu Xuanrong's desk, although there was still one night to spare, but it had little impact on the overall situation.
Zou Buyi, Guo Fengjie, Wen Yuancai, Bai Junru and others did not come to see the rankings together because they participated in the speech, so in the end, only Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai and Wu Xue, who was also an important official of Wenbang, sat on the roof of the doctor's building, flipping through the rankings of various schools.
As the most famous Confucian in China, the number of votes also reached the first place without disputing, with 3,724 votes.
However, to everyone's surprise and indifference, the second place was actually Buddhism, with 2,856 votes, not Bing, Zongheng, Dao, Fa and other schools.
Further down, there are Legalists, Taoists, Zonghengjia, Farmers, Miscellaneous Families, etc.
Legalism advocates governing the country by law and discipline, which coincides with a large number of scholars who like order, so although they are not children of Legalism, there are still many people who vote for Legalism.
As for Taoism, as the first local sect in China, it naturally has a lot of supporters, and the reason why it lags behind the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Dharma is largely because the Taoist sects such as Sanqingshan and Dabei Cizhai tear down each other, and in the end, the environment for the speeches of all parties is too bad, and the audience often can't stand the environment and leave without waiting for the listen.
Most of the Zongheng family advocated uniting the vassal states such as Nanban and Wenbang, attacking Dajin first, and then breaking Mongolia, which was naturally the favorite for the people in Sichuan and Chongqing who endured the military disasters of the Jin State all year round.
What is surprising is that among the various schools of thought that participated in the big competition, the peasant family, which has almost no voice among the people for more than 1,000 years, has received an extremely high number of votes, and the gap of only three votes is second only to the Zonghengjia, because the peasant family advocates agriculture to rejuvenate the country and has won the support of the farmers, but it is the statement in the peasant theory about degrading business and rejuvenating agriculture has aroused the indignation of many businessmen.
Among these participating schools, the bottom of the ranking is not those schools that have disappeared for many years, but the Mohists, who may be second only to Confucianism and Taoism in the land of China.
After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, making Confucianism sit big and overwhelm hundreds of schools.
Except for the Taoists who escaped the catastrophe by living in seclusion with a detached attitude, the rest of the families such as law, soldiers, and farmers were all overwhelmed by Confucianism.
Only the Mo family resolutely retreated bravely, gathered their power to live in Longxing Mansion, and showed the momentum of only participating in commerce, which escaped the frenzy of Confucianism sweeping through China.
This time, the Mo family also arrived in Yitong City late at night before the start of the big competition.
The leader of the team was Mo Zichang, the elder of the Mo family, but what is surprising is that the purpose of the Mo family's visit this time is not to promote the Mo family's philosophy, but to promote various institutions developed by themselves in the lecture hall.
Trap cattle that automatically plough the fields, puppets that can carry heavy loads, and mixing buckets that wash clothes, the Mo family almost regarded this hundred pulpits as a trade fair, and vigorously promoted their own products.
In ancient times, manpower came first, and the reason why there was a saying that there were farmers and industrialists was because of the underdeveloped science and technology in ancient times, and agriculture depended on farmers and workers for daily life, so they had such a status.
However, as the Mohists publicized these products, the peasants and the working class quickly felt the danger, because if the major powers used these organs, wouldn't they be unemployed?
It is precisely because of this that the Mo family has almost been resisted by the workers and peasants, and in these three days, except for some far-sighted scholars who voted for them, the Mo family can be said to have received nothing, and in the first three days, they received only 38 votes.
After reading the votes of each family, Wu Xue couldn't help muttering, Xu Xuanrong didn't hear what she said, and said curiously: "Sister Xue, what did you say?"
"Why isn't there a Zongheng family?" pursed her lips, Wu Xue muttered angrily, "I saw a handsome handsome pot in the Zongheng family that day." ”
Song Kai's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, Xu Xuanrong also smiled, glanced at Song Kai, and chuckled: "It can't be that Brother Kai found out, and then replaced them in the dark, right?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Xuanrong also came to tease himself, Song Kai said helplessly: "I'm not so boring." ”
"But this time I did find a lot of extremely outstanding talents," Xu Xuanrong picked up a list submitted with each ranking, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that either they have been recruited, or they have the support of forces behind themselves, it's a pity!"
Song Kai stretched out his hand to ask for the list, lowered his head and flipped through it.
In this hundred forums, except for those who are purely here to make a fool of themselves, most of the other speakers have shown good ability, and there are nine of them who are the most dazzling.
Li Yuezhou, Wei Jinxiu and Lu Xiufu of Confucianism, Ding Yanzhi and Wen Yuancai of Legalism, Wu Jiamin and Hei Wumeng of Zongheng, Feng Shubo of Bingjia, Xu Yanli and Guo Fengjie of Miscellaneous Family.
Among these nine people, Li Yuezhou, Ding Yanzhi, Xu Yanli, Wu Jiamin, and Feng Shubo are all in their early twenties, Wen Yuancai, Guo Fengjie and Hei Wumeng from the Mongolian Mengke King Tent are all about thirty years old, and the remaining Wei Jinxiu and Lu Xiufu are simply middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties.
This forum is of great significance, and it can be said that it is a direct demonstration of the strength of each university in front of the world, so all the universities are full of strength and go all out.
However, after all, Confucianism is the most powerful school among the hundred Chinese schools on the bright side, and they account for three of the nine most outstanding performers this time, and so on, if one-third.
However, when flipping through the information of these three people, Song Kai couldn't help but sneer, and sneered: "Confucianism is really unscrupulous for the sake of fame! Lu Xiufu, Hubu Shilang, Li Yuezhou, Confucian Confucian Sage Descendant, Wei Jinxiu, Jinghu South Road Envoy, the three of them are extremely noble no matter which status, compared with those scholars who are mostly from poor families, hey." ”
Xu Xuanrong smiled slightly, and sneered: "Brother Kai, Confucianism has done a good job, at least we should be glad that the six Shangshu have not ended, right?"
The corners of Song Kai's lips grinned slightly, but when it came to the six Shangshu, his eyebrows were also slightly condensed: "But I heard that this time the Hundred Schools Forum, Wang Anshi, Zhao Tingzhi and other six Shangshu also came with him, but they all hid their identities and hid in the Confucian team, their strength is extraordinary, and my spies do not dare to enter the spy at will." ”
"Most of them are here, and I'm afraid there are no less than two of them," Xu Xuanrong pursed his lips slightly, and muttered, "According to the current situation, when the three schools of thought debate before tomorrow, I'm afraid that these scholars will show up to show their support, and I'm afraid that Confucianism will have overwhelmed the other schools in terms of momentum." ”
Thinking of Ding Yanzhi, Song Kai squinted slightly, shook his head after a while, and said: "Anyway, the Legalists won't, you and I both know the abilities of Ding and Ding Yanzhi, even if the status of the person from Confucianism is noble, he will not be affected in any way." ”
"That's for sure!" Wu Xue blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Ding is a male god, is it good!"
Song Xu and the others didn't pay attention to her, the two were talking, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps downstairs, and then they saw the deputy shadow master of the dark department hurriedly walking upstairs, with his light skills, the footsteps just now were obviously to remind Song Kai and others to come by themselves.
Coming to the top floor, He Li handed a stack of paperpapers stained with traces of blood to Xu Xuanrong, and said indifferently: "In the afternoon, someone found out that the Buddhists were buying the audience to buy tickets, I followed them all afternoon and arrested three old monks, this is their confession of spending money to buy tickets." ”
Seeing that the confession was stained with blood, Xu Xuanrong couldn't help but frown slightly, and when he saw this, he sneered: "Will Lord Xu also be afraid of blood? At least I know that the princess is not afraid." ”
Xu Xuanrong's eyes condensed slightly, Song Kai also frowned, and said lightly: "Brother He, as the deputy shadow master of the dark department, is busy with noble affairs, so Song will not stay." ”
Crane glanced at him, sneered slightly, threw the confession on the table, and turned to walk down the roof.
Staring at the manuscript, Xu Xuanrong sighed suddenly: "Brother Kai, in fact, there is no need for this. ”
As she spoke, she had already picked up her confession and flipped through it.
After a while, Xu Xuanrong handed the confession to Song Kai, saw that the other party looked down and looked at it, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with the confession, the Buddhist family sent a few old monks to buy some people, and let them help to act as a second hand to buy other people's tickets." ”
After reading the confession, Song Kai raised his head thoughtfully: "In this case, the number of votes of the Buddhists needs to be deducted by one hundred votes, and I remember that the difference between the Legalists in the third place and them is only sixteen votes, in this way, the Legalists will rank second and the Buddhists third." ”
Xu Xuanrong smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when a small official in charge of counting the votes walked upstairs quickly and submitted the list of newly received votes from each family.
