Du Rusong heard the anger shown by the Confucian scholars in Sichuan, and his face also showed unwillingness and resentment.

Of course, he had reasons not to dare, and he also had reasons to be indignant.

In the process of changing the Qing and Ming dynasties.

Naturally, there will be a lot of "interests loss".

For example, junior.

Du Rusong's family is actually not very wealthy, but a small landlord in Luojiang County, Chengdu Prefecture.

But very promising small landowners.

Because his brother Du Ruchong has already won the lift, and he is also a talent at a young age, he is considered to be one of the Sichuan talents who have the best chance of being a jinshi.

In this case.

As long as either of the two brothers can get the official.

The Du family in Luojiang County immediately developed.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

All of this money can be used to buy land.

And so it goes.

The Du family in Luojiang County will become a big landlord from a small family!!

What is called Chaowei Tian Shelang, Dusk Tianzi Hall, what is called the book's own golden house.

That's it.

If everything is normal, the Du family in Luojiang County is bound to be developed, and neither of the brothers has married a wife, and I don't know how many high-ranking families come to propose marriage.

However.

Da Ming is here.

Everything has changed.

The first was a series of wars, in which the imperial court (Qing Dynasty) lost the south at once, and the imperial examination was suspended for several years.

Then he sold his official position in Sichuan.

Large households from all over the country have sold local county officials.

Then the Du family was unlucky, and the family's land was seized by the county order of Luojiang County.

These bought the magistrate's work, but they all have to return to their capital, where did this copy come from, isn't it scraped from the hands of a wealthy family like the Du family who has a little wealth but no background background.

Although the Du family still has more than 30 acres left.

Not completely bankrupt yet.

But it had fallen from the landlord class to the "kulak class".

After the class fell, the Du brothers were not so beautiful, and it was hard to wait for the change of dynasty and the time to prepare for another rush.

Daming has changed the exam papers.

Don't take the test for eight shares!

If the Du family still has the previous family background, they can go to the "Imperial Examination Assault Training Class" in Zhongdu to study and study.

Many children of large Sichuan families have taken a boat south to Zhongdu to find a "new famous teacher" to attend tutorial classes.

But how can a child from an ordinary family like Du Rusong afford it?

If you can't afford it, you can only teach yourself.

This new system of learning is very different from the Four Books and the Five Classics, and there is no one to guide them, and some people who rely on self-study cannot even find a way to get started.

Therefore, the anger and unwillingness of the Sichuan scholars are understandable.

They have studied the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Strands of Literature all their lives.

At the end of the day, you have to start all over again.

Especially a once promising "talent" like Du Rusong, but now he has completely lost his former glory.

It's the same as the people here who are clamoring to petition.

The more Du Rusong thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

'Yes! We must go to Zhongdu! We and other Confucian scholars have their own heroic and righteous spirit, sweep away the left way of the side door, and rule the world with Confucius and Mencius! ’

"That's right! Defend the right way, defend the learning of the saints! ”

"Go to Zhongdu! Go to Zhongdu!! ”

Soon, the sound of going to Zhongdu spread to the whole of Sichuan, centered on Chengdu.

It even began to spread to the surrounding identities.

"I'm afraid something will happen if it's so noisy."

"It's okay to make a fuss, the current imperial court, I can't understand it."

A mansion somewhere in Chengdu.

Two old men are playing against each other.

These two are the most famous Confucians in Sichuan.

One of them is named Li Tiaoyuan, and the other is named Zhang Wentao.

Li Tiaoyuan, Zhang Wentao (Zhang Chuanshan), and Peng Duanshu are collectively known as "the three talents of Shu in the Qing Dynasty".

Li Tiaoyuan once served in the Qing Dynasty, successively served as the editor of Hanlin and the scholar and politician of Guangdong. In the first month of the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781 AD), he was promoted to the post of sailor and prepared for the road because of the impeachment of the Yongping prefect, offended and was framed by Heshen, and was sent to Yili, until 1785, he was redeemed by his mother and wrote at home.

Zhang Wentao was a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty, who wrote "Chuanshan Poems and Grass", and saved more than 3,500 poems. His poetry is full of genius, and he is known as the "Three Masters of the Sexual Spiritual School" in the Qing Dynasty together with Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi, and the "Three Talents of Shu in the Qing Dynasty" together with Peng Duanshu and Li Tiaoyuan, and is known as the "Reincarnation of Qinglian", "Shaoling Comeback", and "The Crown of Poets in Shu" in the Qing Dynasty.

The fame in Shu is very great.

This time, however, the two men did not publish any newspaper articles critical of the New Deal.

Both of them were officials in the former Qing Dynasty, although it is said that in the current Ming court, there are many people who have been officials in the former Qing Dynasty, but both of them have now extinguished their thoughts of being officials, and they have written books in their hometowns in seclusion.

This time, many local literati wanted to find them together to submit books to criticize Xinxue, but the two were unmoved.

However, after all, there are still many students who have also been affected by this "syllabus overhaul" incident, and it is naturally false to say that they don't care.

"Although I haven't moved the knife much inward, if it makes a lot of trouble, the knife moves, and the opening opens, it will be out of control."

Li Tiaoyuan sighed and said.

"What can be done, now the heroes are strategic, in just a few years there is the world, the prosperity of martial arts, far more than the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Sect, Song Zudu, the northern border of the territory to reach the far north, the south will be the Nanyang islands are in the bag, the country is big, the Yuan Dynasty can not be compared, the strength of the force, the Tang Dynasty is also inferior, such a lord, how can he be coerced by the Confucian scholars, go to the middle to petition and protest, no accident is good, if there is an accident. That's hitting a stone with an egg. Zhang Wentao shook his head and said.

"In addition, the demands of Sichuan scholars are too radical now, and it is absolutely not credible to attack etiquette! You can only attack Western schools and promote middle schools. ”

"However, the content of Confucianism in the syllabus of this imperial examination is too small, if you can add a little more content of Confucianism, it is not impossible to tilt the score." Li Tiaoyuan said, "Brother Chuanshan, look. Will the court back down a little this time? ”

Zhang Wentao thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

When Li Tiaoyuan heard this, he had no choice but to sigh.

"It seems that you and I are also going to Zhongdu."

Of course, the Great Confucian and Ming Imperial Courts in various places are also recruiting as much as possible, and there are several positions of the bachelors of the Hongru Academy.

Emperor Zhu did not say that he particularly rejected Confucianism.

It's just that he didn't regard Confucianism as a means to govern the country, and what is needed to govern the country is to use talents from the world.

As for Confucianism, in the eyes of Emperor Zhu, it is still suitable to exist as a philosophical doctrine.

The establishment of the Confucian Academy and the recruitment of great Confucian scholars from all over the country are equivalent to the establishment of an academic research institute of Confucianism.

So that these great Confucians can have a place to go.

Li Tiaoyuan and Zhang Wendu, two celebrities in Shudi, naturally also received recruitment from the Ming court, but the two did not leave for a long time.

This time, the scholars in Sichuan made a fuss.

If there is no one above the Sichuan people, the emperor Lao Tzu will be rude

The consequences are unimaginable.

It's nothing to make a fuss in general.

I'm afraid of making a big fuss.

Not only could the Sichuan people not be able to take the imperial examination this time.

I'm afraid that in the future, the Sichuan people will not be welcomed in the Ming court.

Therefore, it is okay to make trouble, but it must be reasonable, well-founded and modest.

You can't provoke the emperor Lao Tzu to use a knife and a gun.
