The crowd was waiting for the man to reply.

Yang Ming was born in the Hongnong Yang family, not to mention being familiar with all the ancient scriptures and Confucianism, but at least he knows that this is not a matter that can be fooled by just reporting his name.

Unexpectedly, the man immediately replied: "We are from humble backgrounds, and we can't worship the name of a great Confucian, and the teacher is inadequate." ”

Yang Ming chuckled lightly when he heard this, and this person reacted quite quickly.

He continued: "Then you are a disciple of the ancient scriptures, even if you don't worship Confucianism, you should be successful in your studies, how about I test you?" ”

Yang Ming's words caused a burst of discussion among everyone, and they also reacted that Yang Ming was doubting the identities of these people.

This is not unreasonable, and now that ancient and modern literature and scriptures are tense, it is inevitable that there will be people with bad intentions to stir up right and wrong.

The man's face froze, if he didn't dare at this time, his identity would be self-defeating.

He simply raised his head and said, "Why not!" ”

Yang Ming was born in Hongnong Yang's family, is a family of today's Wenjing, although he went to Donglai to study, but in addition to the time on the road, it is only two or three months, but it is just a mixed title, is it really possible to study the ancient scriptures in such a short period of time?

"Today's scriptures are studied in an orderly manner, and the order is "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn", do you know what is the order of the ancient scriptures?" Yang Ming asked.

This question is extremely simple, as long as the disciples of the ancient scriptures must know.

Yang Ming asked this question, and he didn't mean to make things difficult.

The man pondered for a while, and then replied: "Yi", "Book", "Poem", "Rite", "Spring and Autumn". ”

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, and the answer was correct.

Yang Ming was not surprised, if he didn't know this, he wouldn't be prepared.

However, the other party thought about it before answering, and it was indeed not like a disciple of the ancient scriptures, which made him more determined.

"Then do you know why it's so ordered?" Yang Ming then asked.

At this moment, the man was speechless, and did not answer for a long time.

Yang Ming laughed when he saw this.

The so-called "general scriptures" does not mean that you can memorize the scriptures, but that you have to understand the scriptures.

"If you don't know, what I tell you is that the order of the modern scriptures is from the shallow to the deep, and the order of the ancient scriptures is from the ancient to the present." Yang Ming continued.

The man's face was embarrassed, and he said stubbornly: "I was about to say that you took the lead." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu and Wang Xiu around Yang Ming were happy, and even Xun Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

Yang Ming was not angry, but asked further: "Then do you know why the modern scriptures have to go from shallow to deep, and the ancient scriptures have to go from ancient times to the present?" ”

The man's face became more and more embarrassed.

"You're not a disciple of the Ancient Scriptures." After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party still did not answer, Yang Ming scolded.

"My teacher is not a Confucian, you are deliberately making things difficult!" The other party refused to give in.

However, his words caused others to shake their heads.

Obviously, although the questions asked by Yang Ming are progressive, it is impossible for anyone who has studied the ancient scriptures not to know them.

"Ancient and modern literature, lies in the different positioning of Confucius, the current Wenjing believes that the Five Classics are all written by Confucius, and reading through the Five Classics is from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult; The ancient scriptures believe that the Five Classics are written by the saints, and Confucius is the successor of the past and the future of the saints, and the study of the scriptures of the saints has been from ancient times to the present. ”

After Yang Ming finished explaining, he then said with a smile: "If there is a disciple of the ancient scriptures who doesn't even know this, his teacher is afraid that he will bury the loess in his face and have no shame to see people." ”

His words also caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

After laughing, some people began to coax, obviously they already knew that this group of people was not some ancient scripture disciples.

"If you are not convinced, I will test you again, and if you answer, I will make it difficult for you." Yang Ming was not ready to let the other party go.

The other party was embarrassed, knowing that his identity had been exposed, but Yang Ming said this, and he couldn't help but answer, and he also had a trace of luck.

At this time, everyone looked at the man again, and there was already the intention of watching a play in their eyes.

Yang Ming saw that he did not object, and then said: "The ancient scriptures are reprimanded, and I will test your reprimands, listen to it, "Shangshu" cloud: If you touch me, you will live, and if you abuse me, you will hate, what does 'hatred' mean?" ”

When Yang Ming asked, everyone put away their mentality of watching the show, and their faces were puzzled, this is too simple.

The other party was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Hatred is hatred." ”

"Yes, the "Book of Songs" cloud: Martial arts, the prince is so hateful, what does the 'hatred' mean here?" Yang Ming then asked.

This moment, the other party's smile froze.

Hettle is meant to be hatred, which is the original intention, but it is obviously inappropriate to put it here.

The meaning here is the method of counter-discipline in the discipline, which means "partner, spouse", and by extension, "helper".

But where does he know!

Seeing this, Yang Ming said sharply: "You don't know that the ancient scriptures respect Confucius as the first saint to carry on the past and open up the future, and you don't understand the study of exegesis, what kind of shameless person do you have to call yourself a disciple of the ancient scriptures here?!" ”

This scolding split his head and covered his face, and the man's face turned red and wanted to fight back, but he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

By this time, the students had already begun to heckle and began to surround them.

Seeing this, the man could only hold his head and lead the dozen or so people to flee in disgrace.

At this time, both the disciples of the present and the ancient scriptures were cheering, completely forgetting that they were still arguing with each other just now.

Seeing this, Cai Yong motioned for everyone to disperse, and then walked straight to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming also led a few people downhill to meet them.

"Cai Gong." Yang Ming took the lead in saluting.

"Bird, I'm glad you're here today." Cai Yong bowed his head and looked at Yang Ming with joy on his face.

"I don't know where the troublemaker came from, and he almost ruined Cai Gong's good deeds." Yang Ming sighed.

"I didn't realize it before, but now it seems that those people should be the former Xuanling filial sons and the like." Cai Yong stroked his long beard and said.

"How does Cai Gong know?" Yang Ming wondered.

"Last year, His Majesty issued an edict to blame himself, and I mentioned them in the 'Seven Secret Words', and then they were like flies, and they would trouble me at every opportunity." Cai Yong smiled bitterly.

"I see." Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully.

Xuanling filial piety, this is a more magical existence than the "twenty-four filial piety" under the inspection system.

Last year, dozens of ordinary people and businessmen went to the Xuanling Tomb where Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Empress Huan Si Dou were buried together, and then called themselves the filial sons of Xuanling.

After Liu Hong learned the news, he actually made these dozens of people the crown prince.

The prince is a subordinate official of the prince's young master, although his rank is only 200 stones, but because he is subordinate to the East Palace, his status is not low.

For example, if you have studied in Taixue for two years, you can apply for one assessment, and if you can pass two scriptures, you can become a "literary story".

After serving as a literary master for two years, you can apply for an assessment, and if you can study three scriptures at this time, you can only be a prince and a prince.

In other words, if you learn from Tai, it will take four years for everything to go well before you can become a prince.

As a result, these people only ran to guard the tomb in front of Xuanling for a period of time, and they studied hard with Tai students for four years, and they were full of magic.

However, Yang Ming was thinking more than this at this time, because he knew that Xuanling filial piety was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

This is one of Liu Hong's means to take advantage of the situation to fight against the family.

The first batch of Xuanling filial sons may not have been the people he arranged, but he was astute to find that when the disciples of the family could make a name for themselves by keeping filial piety for their "parents", wouldn't the people be more filial to guard the tomb for Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty?

After this logic is established, he wants to reuse the children of the Han family, or other commoners, then arrange for them to guard the mausoleum, and then promote them to the crown prince.

From Liu Hong's point of view, your family is "talented, but you don't know books." Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken", why can't I find another way and reuse some cold scholars?

Knowing this, then it is natural to conclude that Xuanling filial piety is Liu Hong's person.

Therefore, this matter is not as simple as Xun Yu's analysis that Cao Jie wants to control Shangshutai, let alone the daily harassment of Xuanling filial piety by Xuanling Xiaozi as Cai Yong said, but Liu Hong wants or agrees to use this scripture dispute to suppress scholars.

In other words, this is already a confrontation between imperial power and vassal power.

If this controversy over scripture and study is not properly handled, the scholars, who are already weakened by the scourge of the party's system, will collapse completely.

At that time, the empire may be full of eunuchs, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion may also be advanced, and his "Second Five-Year Plan" will also be interrupted.

That was obviously not what he wanted to see, and he wanted to try to solve this dispute over scripture and learning, for the sake of planning, and for the sake of reducing the number of hungry people like those in his county.
