Not only did these two people not come, but many of the younger generation of Confucian scholars did not come?

Tonight's gathering was planned by Wei Xian, and it was impossible to leave out these people because of negligence.

They are not here at the moment, and there is only one possibility, and that is that they are not willing to come.

Sure enough, Wei Xian was a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "I used the excuse to get rid of ......."

The hall was silent again, but I didn't expect that this Confucian Lin was divided into two factions in just a few days.

In the flickering lights, Kong Ba's expression was even more displeased, he didn't expect that there would be so few people coming today.

Wei Xian naturally saw Kong Ba's unhappy face, and hurriedly analyzed the situation of Ru Lin carefully.

"Among the Confucian forests, only Wang Shi, Wang Ji, Gong Sui and others really support the county officials, but the county officials are county officials after all, and the Confucian scholars are afraid and afraid of them."

"Don't forget, the county officials just ordered the killing of tens of thousands of people a year ago, don't say that Confucianism is shocking, even the people and courtiers in the world will feel frightened."

"Hou Cang, Xiahou Sheng, Xue Guangde and others are also just for self-preservation."

"In addition, many of the younger generation of Confucian scholars came from poor families, and they believed that the implementation of the imperial examination system and the popular version of the Confucian classics would be beneficial to the Shu people, and they did not oppose it."

"For example, Tian Gong's disciple - Shi Yun is one of the leading figures."

A few days ago, Wang Shi also analyzed the general trend of Confucianism to the Son of Heaven, which was much stronger than Wei Xian's "too pragmatic theory".

Wei Xian didn't know where he had made a mistake, and he wouldn't have known that it could lead to unexpected results.

"Tian Gong, Shi Yun is your disciple, can't you persuade him and let him return to the right path?"

"If he is so nonsense again, you can simply expel him from the school!" Yan Pengzu squinted at Tian Wang Sun Dao.

"The contemptible man has told him many times, but everyone has their own ambitions, and he doesn't agree, what can I do?"

"He is now a doctoral disciple, and he has already learned something, and I can't do anything about him." Tian Wangsun said.

Tian Wangsun's character is gentle and humble, although there is a reproach for Shi Yun in his words, but he is still constantly protecting him.

Just when Yan Pengzu wanted to attack again and continue to force Tian Wangsun to punish Shi Yun, he was interrupted by Wei Xian.

Although Shi Yun is a little hateful, he is not a key person, what is the use of punishing him, it will only cause extraneous branches.

"Now is not the time to deal with these juniors, the overall situation is more important!"

Wei Xian finished saying this sentence with some displeasure, cut off Yan Pengzu's words, and turned his gaze to Kong Ba again.

"In this way, there are really many Confucian scholars who support the new policy of county officials?" Kong Ba asked.

"People's hearts are fluctuating, and the new policies proposed by the county officials also have merits, and those Confucian students who were born in a poor family and have no hope of becoming famous will naturally be moved." Wei Xian said helplessly.

"The imperial examination system and the Zhen school system are both good, and the 'confluence of a hundred schools of thought, the unique Confucianism' is also extraordinary, which can make the status of Confucianism go to a higher level......

"So the key to this problem is in the popular version of the scriptures......" Kong Ba once again sorted out the questions before and after, so that the people present were no longer as flustered as before.

"If you are a scripture teacher in the Xuan school, you can decide which kind of scripture to teach for yourself, and you don't need to be restricted by the popular version of the scriptures, this Zhen school system is a good deed that is harmless."

"Similarly, if the questions examined in the imperial examination system are not from the popular version of the scriptures, but are decided by the main examination every year, it can also give Confucian students one more path to become a scholar."

Kong Ba's explanations made everyone in the hall nod frequently.

If the new policy of the Son of Heaven is revised according to what Kong Ba said, it can indeed turn decay into magic.

The Zhen Society founded by the Son of Heaven became a place for all factions, large and small.

The big faction occupies the Taixue, the middle faction controls the county school, and the small faction is entrenched in the school county - layer upon layer, which is also in line with the Confucian concept of "love is poor".

As for the imperial examination system, it will probably become a wrestling game in turns: which faction of Confucianism is the turn to be the examiner, and which faction of Confucianism will benefit in the examination.

Of course, the big faction can eat more and occupy more, but the small faction is also derived from the big faction, and it can also get some opportunities more or less.

The people in the hall kept nodding their heads, so that Confucianism can really create a new situation - worthy of being a great Confucian, Kong Ba really sees the problem thoroughly.

"Therefore, the biggest problem lies in the popular version of the scriptures, once the popular version of the scriptures is decided, the Confucian students of my Han Dynasty can only be disposed of by the county officials."

Kong Ba finally pointed out the problem in one sentence, which was exactly the same as Wei Xian thought.

"Duke Wei, did the county official say that in this Shiqu Pavilion, how to debate the scriptures?"

Kong Ba asked another crucial question.

In fact, not only Kong Ba, but other people are also very concerned about this issue.

Shiqu Pavilion debated the scriptures, this is a groundbreaking event, and it has never happened before.

Therefore, Kong Ba is most concerned about how to calculate winning or losing?

The Confucian scholars of the same school debated the scriptures, and naturally there were teachers to determine the winner.

The Confucian scholars of different schools of thought did not need to have a result at all.

But this time in the Shiqu Pavilion debate, the final result is related to the direction of Confucianism and the life and death of Confucianism, how can Confucianism easily admit defeat?

In other words, Kong Ba would also be worried that the Son of Heaven would be arbitrary and interfered, and even if he lost the debate, he would forcibly pass the popular version of the scriptures.

If the Son of Heaven cheats, then Confucianism can only die.

At that point, Confucianism lost his life, and the Son of Heaven lost his majesty.

"You can rest assured, the county official ordered the old man to enter the palace a few days ago, and told him the process of this debate."

"Oh? What did the county magistrate say? Kong Ba asked.

"The county magistrate said that he would not decide the winner alone, but leave it to the Confucian scholars to vote."

"Vote?" Everyone had some doubts, they had never heard this new word.

The Son of Heaven has always had strange tricks, and I'm afraid this time it is something they have never seen before.

Without waiting for others to ask, Wei Xian continued to explain.

"Voting is a way for people to decide things."

"The Confucian scholars who participated in the debate in Shiqu Pavilion can have one vote per person, and in the process of this debate, all the things that need to be decided by vote."

"For example, if there are two ways to agree or oppose the first matter, Confucian scholars can write yes or no on the ticket, and then put it in the box......"

"Which one has more votes in the last one will be based on whichever result, and no one may violate this matter."

This method was naturally unheard of by everyone before, and after hearing the explanation, they all raised a little interest, and a little joy rose in their hearts.

Since the Son of Heaven has come up with this method of voting, there is really no intention to be arbitrary, which is a bit of the legacy of the ancient Ming monarch asking the government and the people.

After Wei Xian explained what voting was, he continued to explain the entire process of the Shiqu Pavilion debate.

"The county magistrate will issue an edict to select famous Confucian scholars to form the Shiqu Pavilion Confucian Debate Group, and the selected Confucian scholars have the right to vote."

"The county magistrates will raise a few issues, and after the Confucian scholars participating in the debate have spoken freely, they will use voting to determine the final result."

"Whether to implement the popular version of the scriptures, how many Confucian classics should be established as official schools, and which Confucian classics should be selected to enter the official school ......"

"In the matter of which Confucian classics to choose into the official school, it is first recommended by the Confucian students, and then voted on."

"In short, all the things related to the popular version of the Confucian Classics in the Shiqu Pavilion must finally be decided by voting."

Wei Xian carefully explained the joints of this voting method according to his own memory, and from time to time he had to stop to explain everyone's doubts.

He talked like this for more than half an hour, and the people in the hall finally didn't want to continue to ask questions.

Kong Ba silently poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it silently, he let out a long sigh.

"I really can't see through the mind of this county official, how did he come up with such a wonderful method, I really admire!"

"In the future, when we debate the scriptures in the ashram or debate with each other, we can also adopt this wonderful method."

The rest of the people, including Yan Pengzu and Cai Qianqiu, also nodded frequently, unable to raise any objections.

"As for the list of the Confucian Regiment, although it has not yet been announced, the county official has already drawn it up and handed it over to the old man, please refer to the public for details."

Wei Xian said, took out several copies of the directory from his bosom, and distributed it to everyone for circulation.

Looking at the names on the rice paper, the people in the hall once again exclaimed affirmatively, the Son of Heaven is very fair and careless.

There are people who should be, and there is no one who shouldn't be there - the Son of Heaven did not put any unqualified cronies in it.

There are only two people who can be called the cronies of the Son of Heaven, one is Wang Shi and the other is Wang Ji.

Wang Ji is proficient in "Han Poems", although this degree has not been established as an official school, but it is a Confucian classic with the same name as "Lu Poems" and "Qi Poems".

And Gong Sui was not selected for it.

It seems that what the Son of Heaven wants is a justification, and what he wants is a beak that cannot be ignored.

However, in addition to admiration, many people present felt that it was a little difficult to understand - the Son of Heaven was too conceited.

With this one-person-one-vote voting method, isn't the Son of Heaven "killing himself"?

Although the Son of Heaven is also in this debate group, and he also has the support of Wang Shi and Wang Ji, they only have three votes after all, and there are nearly twenty people in this Confucian group.

Among these nearly twenty people, the young Confucian scholar only has the "Three Masters of Tianmen", and at most one more Shi Yun will agree with the Son of Heaven.

In such a situation, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to win. When the time comes, not only will you not win, but you will also be swept away.

Or did the Son of Heaven think he could convince Confucianism to change his court? This is inevitably a dream of some fools.

Kong Ba's stiff face showed a subtle smile: the Son of Heaven was too serious about the name, and it was self-defeating to come up with a way to vote.

He coughed vigorously to silence the chattering crowd before making a decision.

"When you vote, you must vote against the publication of the popular version of the scriptures."

"If I wait for this round to win, then that's the end of the matter."

"If there is any accident and we lose the first round, then when we judge the scriptures, we will vote for the scriptures that we have chosen."

"What the county official wants is justified, then I will let the county official lose convincingly......"

"If the county official repents, then I will die on the spot by hitting the pillar in Shiqu Pavilion, and force the county official to withdraw the edict!"

"No!" The Confucian scholars in the hall replied in unison, a picture of the same hatred and hatred.

But after a closer look, there are a few people with different expressions, as if they have other ideas.

Ask for a full order!
