The influence of Confucianism in this era was far from reaching the level of ancient China.

Guo Tianyi knows too well the consequences of the dominance of the Confucian family.

If it doesn't matter.

Confucianism relies on its own numerical advantage, and after several rounds of imperial examinations, it will become a Confucian hall in the court in less than ten years.

This is a terrible consequence.

Don't you see how terrible is the party struggle of the Confucian disciples of ancient China in later generations?

From the Tang and Song dynasties to the Ming Dynasty.

Confucianism was the mainstay of the imperial court.

In particular, the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty was the most terrifying.

After Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, he didn't know how much silver the Donglin Party, who wore patches every day and cried poverty, contributed to the Manchu Tartars.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Donglin Party was also the first to support the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the power group of Confucianism is not only aimed at today's Confucianism.

Even Qi Ru is the same.

They suppressed the rest of the factions hard enough, and their own internal struggles were even more ruthless.

In the history of ancient China, Confucianism put on the superstitious cloak of ghosts and gods for Huang Lao's doctrine, and he was unable to take care of himself for a time when he was close to the imperial power.

Later, Huang Lao's doctrine declined, and Legalism and other schools had to be "Confucianized" and put on a layer of Confucianism in order to survive.

Therefore, what Guo Tianyi sees is not only the point that half of today's imperial examinations are Confucian students.

It is a party struggle after the Confucian family dominates in the future.

Party strife is always a cancer in the court.

The contention of a hundred schools of thought is far less terrible than the struggle of a single party.

On the contrary, the contention of a hundred schools of thought can also promote the progress of culture.

Healthy competition among companies is the normal trajectory of development.

After Confucianism became bigger, party strife was like a stubborn disease, and it was impossible to clean it up.

In especially serious cases, they can sacrifice the interests of the country and the nation to achieve their own goals.

That's where it's the most poisonous.

For a time, public opinion all turned to Confucianism.

Originally, the thinking of the Qi Confucian faction has changed a lot, and it has become the object of reprimand.

Therefore.

Several great Confucians of Qi Ru's faction set off for Shandong Dao overnight.

Today's Confucianism is not very influential in Guanzhong, and their influence is mainly in the north.

It has always been the revenge of Confucianism to support a few pillars in the court.

It would be even more wonderful if a few hereditary princes could be cultivated.

Unfortunately, now, they are all panicking.

Originally, the imperial examination gave them a bright prospect for the future.

Fifty of the 100 jinshi are from Confucianism, and the next imperial examination will definitely account for seventy percent of the quota.

Within a decade, their influence in Guanzhong will reach new heights.

Shandong Road, Nanfeng Province.

"Are you all here?"

"Pei Gong, you're here..."

"If you don't come, there's no way, your eyebrows are burned."

"Ugh..."

"Ugh..."

In a compound, after several old men met, sighs rang out.

They are the Confucian bosses of the Lu Ru and Qi Confucian factions.

There are countless disciples.

Nowadays, most of the Jinshi on the high school emperor list are from their disciples.

"Brothers, the situation is critical now, have you thought of a way to deal with it?" Pei Gong said loudly, "The attitude of the Son of Heaven is also unclear, if we don't get the protection of the Son of Heaven, our Confucianism is in danger..."

"What I'm saying is that the Legalists, the Mo family and others are eager to kill us all."

"Even the people of Huang Laoxue stood up and accused us, and I didn't do anything?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you know that half of the Jinshi of the Emperor List this time came from our Confucianism, and the interests of the Legalists and the Mohists and the rest of the families led to such a result?"

"Yes, that's the root cause."

"Now we can only count on the Son of Heaven, why don't we ask someone to ask the Son of Heaven for help?"

"That's all it can be..."

“......”

“.....”

After discussion, the Confucian Confucians decided on the policy.

Use the relationship to find the nobles of the capital and go straight to the heavens.

The Son of Heaven has not expressed his attitude now, nor has he done anything to suppress the Confucian scholars.

But the more this happens, the more panicked they become.

Although the Son of Heaven did not express his position.

But the rest of the families are suppressing them fiercely, but the Son of Heaven is ignoring them, which is worth scrutinizing.

If they don't resist, sooner or later they will be swallowed up by the rest of the families.

Why is the talent of the Mo family withering today?

Isn't it because it was over-suppressed during the previous dynasty?

If they continue to be suppressed, their Confucianism will exist in name only.

Even the students will integrate into other schools, and in a few years Confucianism will become subordinate to the rest of the schools and rely on the rest of the schools to survive.

Confucian connections are not covered.

Within three days, they found Zhang Juzheng, the Duke of Huainan, an important minister.

Zhang Juzheng, the Duke of Huainan, was also of Confucian origin, but he also studied the rest of the schools, and studied both Legalism and Huang Lao's doctrine deeply.

Moreover, he is also the dean of the university college established by the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, Zhang Juzheng once relieved the siege of the King of Han when the Son of Heaven was still the King of Han, and he also had a layer of identity as a relative of the Queen Mother's family.

In the people, Zhang Juzheng's fame is also very great.

After Zhang Juzheng received the letter of help from the Confucian Confucians, he also felt that the situation could not continue to develop like this, so he hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.

Just arrived at the palace gate.

Zhang Juzheng ran into Qiu Yu.

"Master Zhang."

"Lord Qiu."

"Lord Zhang came in a hurry, is he going to see His Majesty?"

"Yes, the eyebrows are burned, and the Confucian Confucians in the land of Qilu have been splashed with feces at the door, and it won't work if it goes on like this..."

After Zhang Juzheng and Qiu Yu greeted each other, they chatted.

Today's Confucianism has really become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it.

Especially after the people of the Mo family broke the news of many black materials of Confucianism, many people scolded Confucianism for hypocrisy, and even went to the land of Qilu to pour dung water at the gate of Confucianism.

If these things are not controlled, they will become great disasters.

"Oh?" Qiu Yu forcibly held back a smile and said, "Master Zhang, haven't you thought about why this is happening?" ”

"Huh?" The upright Zhang Juzheng responded without thinking about it, "It's not because most of the imperial examinations this time are Confucian disciples who have touched the interests of the rest of the factions, and they are afraid that Confucianism will dominate in the future..."

"Master Zhang, what you said is right, but it's not right either." Qiu Yu smiled slightly and said, "You have only seen a part, so why do you think Your Majesty has not expressed a position on these things until now?" ”

"This..."

"The old man doesn't know?"

"Please also ask Lord Qiu to solve your doubts."

Zhang Juzheng didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Qiu Yu say this, he was even more confused.

"Go and see Your Majesty." Qiu Yu waved his hand and pointed to the Forbidden City Road, "If you see Your Majesty, you will understand." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Juzheng also knew that these courtiers liked to talk around the bush the most, so he hurried into the Forbidden City without asking more.

If Guo Tianyi hadn't called him to Beijing as the dean of the university with the respect of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Juzheng would rather live an idyllic life at home.

In the circle of officialdom, he was not good at it.

As for the meaning of the Son of Heaven...

He's not even better at it.

In his heart, he only has the country and the nation, and there is not so much deceit.

At the beginning, he was able to stand up at the night banquet in Weiyang Palace and openly say that the Empress Dowager's idea of appointing the King of Qin as the prince was not correct, and today he can also defend Confucianism and Taoism in front of the Son of Heaven.
