"What?" Liu He asked a little tiredly.

All the things that should be done today have been done, and it seems that there is nothing left to do.

"The old man thinks that His Majesty is the first great Confucian in the world, and he should also enter the Holy Sage Temple to accept the worship of Confucian scholars who are subjects in the world." Wang Shi said resolutely.

Liu He was a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this old man to come up with this advice.

Wouldn't this allow Liu He to enter the Holy Sages as a living person and receive worship from all over the world?

This is not shocking, in the final analysis, it is not much different from building a shrine for people.

Moreover, the Jiansheng Temple began when the Great Han Dynasty was built.

In the past, Luan Bu was Yan Xiang, and the people of Yan Qi set up a society for it, called Luan Commune; Shiqing is Qi Xiang, and the people of Qi are standing stone shrines for it.

When the people set up a shrine to a person, it is nothing more than to express their love for the person being sacrificed.

However, the construction of a shrine for the reigning Son of Heaven, or the entry of the reigning Son of Heaven into the Shrine of the Sages, is a groundbreaking thing.

What's more, Liu He is also self-aware, he thinks that he is not qualified to stand side by side with Confucius, Meng, Laozhuang, Mohan, and others.

"Wang Fu's words are too Meng Lang, I am just the light of fireflies, how dare I be listed in the temple of the sages and sages, this matter cannot be mentioned again." Liu He smiled sincerely and waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, since the holy precepts are done by Your Majesty, then Your Majesty is already a saint who can be compared with Dong Zhongshu, Dong Zi can enter the ancestral hall to be sacrificed by the people, and Your Majesty can naturally enter the ancestral hall to be sacrificed by the people."

"If Your Majesty does not enter the shrine to receive sacrifices, will it not leave a handle for the world to say that Your Majesty is not a commentator on this hadith, and then the situation of today will be gone?"

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to enter the shrine to accept the sacrifices of the people of the world and Confucianism, the old minister will represent the people of the world today and kneel to death in the main hall of this Shiqu Pavilion."

After Wang Shi stubbornly said this, he straightened his waist and bowed down.

The white head slammed the ground, making a crisp "bang" sound, smashing on people's hearts and making people hairy.

And Liu He, who originally just regarded Wang's advice as a joke, was also awakened by the sound of kowtowing to break the floor tiles.

This old guy is really playing!

Of course, Wang Shi was not a whim, this was a plan that he had already planned in his heart.

Elevating the Son of Heaven to the status of a saint is his ultimate goal!

Before Liu He could figure out all the joints in it, a few more Confucian scholars came forward.

These Confucian scholars are Xue Guangde and them, all of whom are Wang's personal disciples.

"Your Majesty, please enter the Holy Sage Temple to be sacrificed by the subjects of the world and Confucianism, otherwise we will kneel and die in this Shiqu Pavilion with Taixue Ling!"

Xue Guangde and the others didn't even change their rhetoric, and they all knelt down in front of Liu He.

For a while, Liu He couldn't see the current situation clearly.

Not to mention Wei Xian and Kong Ba, they are also looking at each other, and they don't know whether they should keep up with this trend.

However, if the two of them were better, but the others for different reasons, all followed the king's proposal.

First of all, Cai Qianqiu, Yan Pengzu, and Meng Xi are Confucian students who "turn their brains fast and want to be sycophants".

followed by Tian Wangsun, Liu Anmin, Wei Xuancheng and Liang Qiuhe, who were moved by the words of the Son of Heaven's "gentleman Confucian".

Then there were Xiahou Sheng and Hou Cang, who were impressed by the talent of the Son of Heaven.

Finally, Zhang Anshi, Bingji, Liu De and other important ministers of the court who saw the general trend clearly.

……

In a short time, they all followed behind Wang Shi, and knelt down under the small and cramped main hall in unison.

Since then, the only remaining Kong Ba and Wei Xian have become outliers.

So, under the coercion of this general trend, the two leading figures of the opposition also knelt down in a daze.

The situation at this moment is like a battle between the two armies, once someone defects in front of the battle, then it will soon form a raging trend, and those who are confused behind the formation will be all engulfed.

Liu He, who was sitting on the couch, looked at the Confucian scholars and courtiers who knelt neatly on the ground, and finally completely understood why Wang Shi did this.

Wang Fu is going to force the palace today!

This forced palace is naturally not to harm Liu He, but "love is far-reaching".

This "teacher" must have already thought of today's plan: to win the debate and send Liu He to the Holy Sage Temple to accept the worship of the subjects of the world.

Liu He, a student, just wanted to unify the Confucian scriptures, control the right to interpret the scriptures in a limited way, escort the imperial examination system and the Xuan school system, select some practical talents, and do some practical things for the Han world.

This is being done with the next decade in mind.

However, Wang Shi's idea of this teacher is even more "crazy", and he wants Liu He to become a saint who stands side by side with the sages of the past dynasties.

In this way, Liu Heke will not be granted the right to interpret part of the scriptures, and everything he says will become the words of a saint.

This is not to shape Liu He into a Ming Jun and a Holy Monarch, it is simply to shape him into a god!

In the original history, there were not a few emperors with literary names.

Poet, writer, painter...... Minority.

Qianlong of the Taqing Dynasty wrote 100,000 poems in his lifetime, which did not seem too special.

However, it is unheard of for an emperor to become a "saint".

Liu He knew that once he nodded, then the feudal imperial system would undergo earth-shaking changes.

It is very likely that China will form a situation of one line for all generations.

The jury is still out on whether everything is good or bad, but if it can be sanctified, there should be less resistance when other more violent new policies are pushed in the future.

At the very least, those Confucian scholars who learn "Neo-Confucianism" will surround him and become loyal supporters and become real emperors.

This loyalty transcends loyalty and becomes faith.

Liu He couldn't help but sigh that ginger was still old and spicy.

This king-style is much older and spicier than himself.

At this time, he had already approved of Wang's approach in his heart, but he couldn't directly accept the words himself, which would hinder the view.

Then we have to see the performance of this old guy Wang Shi.

"Wang Fu, the people who are worshipping in the Holy Sages and Sages are all sages and saints of the past dynasties, although I am the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that I am still not qualified to be among them." Liu He talked about the topic and handed it over.

Wang Shi naturally heard the meaning of the Son of Heaven's words: it was no longer a strong refusal, but a detailed discussion of the conditions and process of "entering the Holy Pantheon".

It is commonly known as "rowing".

Wang Shi raised his head a little excitedly, and immediately made eye contact with the Son of Heaven.

At this time, everyone fell to their knees neatly, so naturally no one saw the smile of understanding on the faces of the teachers and students.

"Your Majesty, it is said in the Book of Rites that the saint will rule the world from the south, and he will start with humanity......"

"It can be seen that since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has had the name of a saint."

"Now His Majesty has annotated the 'Thirteen Classics' and put forward the gist of 'Hundred Schools of Convergence, Confucianism of the Sect', which is more of a saint."

"Therefore, it is really a justifiable thing for Your Majesty to enter the Holy Sages Temple to accept the worship of Confucian scholars, who are subjects of the world, and it is in line with the etiquette system."

"Therefore, the old minister thinks that His Majesty should be respected as a saint to show His Majesty's merits."

Wang Shi said everything in his heart in one go, and sure enough, he had already planned it.

With the name of a saint and the title of a saint, isn't it a smooth thing to enter the Holy Temple?

Zongsheng is a good name.

In the original timeline, there was really a Confucian Confucian who was named a sage.

That is Zengzi, who compiled the Analects, the words of the sage.

However, Zeng Zi was canonized as a saint, and that was all a matter of the Yuan Dynasty, and Liu He would not be uneasy when he occupied this title.

In the future, it will be enough to expand the sages of the Panthéon by a few more.

At that moment, Liu He nodded lightly, although he was ecstatic in his heart, the words he said were different.

"Wang Fu, I first built the Holy Sages' Temple, and now I want to carry myself into the Holy Sages' Temple, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Wang Shi immediately comprehended it, and the rest of the Confucian scholars and courtiers who were still bowing their heads also immediately comprehended.

They have already smelled the new wind and understand that this is about to enter the link of "three requests and three resignations".

"Three invitations and three resignations" is a tacit understanding reached between monarchs and ministers.

not only took into account the face of the Son of Heaven, but also took into account the face of the courtiers.

At this point, it's just a matter of going through the motions.

So, under the command of Wang Shi, the drama of "three invitations and three resignations" quickly opened and ended quickly.

In the end, in the sound of "Your Majesty Sage" with a tsunami of mountains, Liu He, the son of heaven, was carried into the Sage Temple by everyone and became one of the ten sages of the Sage Temple.

From this day on, the words of the Son of Heaven were not only secular edicts, but also the words of saints with religious implications.

For the subjects of the world, there is a new constraint.

At this point, the Shiqu Pavilion debate finally ended in ups and downs and twists and turns.

The first imperial examination was set for September this year, at the same time as the county and state calculations, and the chief examiner was Wei Xian, the "general of the defeated army".

In the future, whether it is the construction of the school or the selection of chairs; or publish and publish the canon of the hadith, and build the Pantheon; Or it is to promote the reading of scriptures and imperial history, and supervise official and private learning.

There are cabinets and various government offices to handle it separately, and there is no need for Liu He, a "saint", to worry about it for the time being.

At the end of the song, people are scattered.

As soon as the unitary time arrived, the courtiers and Confucian scholars retreated with different moods.

At this time, it was almost time to disperse, so the cabinet scholars and subordinate officials gradually left.

The process of Shiqu Pavilion's debate will be quickly spread in Chang'an City through the edict and the word of mouth of the participants, and then reach the world.

It's going to be a lot of buzz.

No matter how much there is discussion, it is a foregone conclusion.

All of this has nothing to do with Shiqu Pavilion.

Just like when the ripples ripple around, the place where the stones fall has already calmed down.

After everyone dispersed, there were still three people left in the Shiqu Pavilion that gradually dimmed: Liu He, Wang Shi and Xiahou Sheng.

And, of course, there's Fan Ke in the waiter.

But at this moment, he is a pen of the Son of Heaven, not a person.

"Wang Fu and Xiahou Gong, the matter of Shiqu Pavilion's debate, you two have made great contributions, I must reward you." Liu He looked at the two old men with tired faces and said.

Unexpectedly, the two old men were not interested, and they did not have the slightest intention of gratitude.

Especially Xiahou Sheng, he still didn't look at the Son of Heaven with "straight eyes", and his face was even more complicated.

Just now, when Liu He revealed his true identity as "Chu Ji", Xiahou Sheng's surprise and panic were not much better than Kong Anguo's. (End of chapter)
