Take the system to become Uncle Liu

In the city lord's mansion, Liu Bei heard that Cai Yong had actually come, so he didn't care about anything else, so he hurried out of the mansion to greet him in person, and even Liu Bowen, who was at the side, followed Liu Bei closely. Who can disrespect any student?

Zhang Juzheng had just settled down Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan, when he saw Liu Bei hurrying over with Liu Bowen, was about to salute but saw Liu Bei pass him and go straight to Cai Yong and the others.

"Student Liu Bei (Liu Bowen), I have met Master Cai." Standing in front of Cai Yong, Liu Bei earnestly saluted as a student.

When Cai Yong heard that Liu Bei and Liu Bowen came in person, especially the two of them gave such a big gift, he hurriedly stood up and returned the gift to them, Zhang Juzheng's performance already satisfied him enough, never thought that Liu Bei would actually come in person, It really flattered him.

"Master Liu, why did you make such a big gift? I'm just a grassroots person. How can I bear such a big gift from you?"

Seeing that Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan were already old and traveled thousands of miles to participate in this seminar, Liu Bei suddenly felt that this meeting was absolutely worthwhile. If nothing else, he just wanted to give these educators a lesson. The opportunity to express your opinion is worth it.

"Lord Liu Bei, I don't know how you want to carry out this seminar? What kind of result do you want?" Cai Yong looked at Liu Bei and asked with a serious face.

"Mr. Cai, the imperial examinations I held before set the questions according to my own requirements, but it aroused dissatisfaction from the students all over the world. What's more, they criticized me from all over the world. After thinking about it, I simply called on everyone to talk about it here. , Discuss what the students will study in the future, and what I will test in the exams in the future, so it can be regarded as broadening the opinions of the people."

Hearing Liu Bei's answer, Cai Yong felt in his heart that Liu Bei was really benevolent and loving. Since ancient times, he has never seen a monarch who can sit here and discuss things with the people. Basically, what the monarch says, the people have to do. , if there is any disobedience, I am afraid that they will be killed without mercy.

"My lord Liu Bei, this dismissal of all schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism has been established since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If you want to change it, I am afraid that people will say that you have broken the rules of your ancestors. I wonder what you think?"

"Master Cai, I can't stand this young man. You might as well call me Xuande. It is indeed suitable for the common people to dismiss a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone, but I think the situation of contention among a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period was even more grand. There is a facilitative effect, and I want to find a solution that can perfectly coordinate the two."

"Besides, the sage Confucius said that there are no distinctions in education, and that everyone should receive education. Is it true that among all kinds of academics, only Confucianism is orthodox, and Taoism, Yin-Yang, and Strategists are wrong? I think everyone Everyone can choose their favorite academic research, which is not only beneficial to individuals, but also beneficial to the country.”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Cai Yong couldn't calm down for a long time. In fact, everyone understands why Emperor Wuhan accepted Dong Zhongshu's proposal, but as he said, the people have to do what the monarch says. If they dare to disobey, they will be killed without mercy. The way of the king is so domineering and ruthless.

So when Cai Yong heard that Liu Bei wanted everyone to choose the academic research they want to study, and even encouraged him, Cai Yong felt that Liu Bei was really a great man, both academically and ideologically.

"Xuande, I thank you for studying in this world. For so many years, I have watched countless people memorize the Four Books and Five Classics and learn Confucian culture. Everyone has no other ideas. I am also very helpless. Students in this world The words and deeds are exactly the same, which is a kind of bondage to the mind and the individual. I think anyone who has achieved success in learning will envy the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Liu Bei was surprised to hear that Cai Yong actually understood him. Originally, he thought Cai Yong was a stubborn little old man, but he never thought that he was such an open-minded person.

"Master Cai, this seminar will be just two days later. I will just listen in and will not say a single word, so as to avoid rumors in the world. Zhang Juzheng and Liu Bowen will be responsible for everything. I hope you can take good care of yourself at that time." Enlighten these readers."

Cai Yong nodded lightly. Liu Bei's move is extremely thoughtful. It is best not to say a word at that time, but if he says a word, I am afraid that some people will say that Liu Bei used his status to oppress others and persecute the students. These words are sometimes the most terrifying weapons.

Seeing Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan look exhausted, Liu Bei said goodbye, and turned around and left the mansion after the servants took care of Cai Yong's affairs. However, what Liu Bei was curious about was that Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan were said to be bringing their family members with them. I came to Yecheng, but I didn't see anyone at all, and I didn't know if it was a man or a woman, or what they looked like.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Bei was thinking about education and exams again. If this matter is settled early, he can plan other things. He must hurry up. Liu Bei has a premonition that next year's war will be extremely fierce. These factors that may affect you are minimized.

Zhang Juzheng was still welcoming the educators at the gate of the city. During the period, several famous people also came, such as Bing Yuan and Guan Ning. However, Liu Bei did not go to greet these people in person. , Even when Dong Zhongshu arrived, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Juzheng to treat everyone equally and make proper arrangements.

In this way, three days passed in a flash, and the seminar that attracted the attention of students all over the world was officially held today.

This meeting was set at the place of the last civil examination examination. What everyone didn't expect was that Liu Bei, the caller this time, didn't even sit in the room, but sat in the corner far away. Quietly waiting for everyone.

As soon as Liu Bowen and Zhang Juzheng saw Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them, let the two old men sit at the first place, and then sat down in turn.

Although it is said that there are no seniors in learning, and those who are masters come first, but the people who came here all acquiesced to the fact that Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan were at the top.

The arrangement of seats in the arena is very interesting. After Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan sat down in turn, Liu Bowen and Zhang Juzheng also sat in a row with them. When Dong Zhongshu and others saw this, they sat down opposite Liu Bowen and others. Sitting in the direction, I knew that the opinions of the two groups were diametrically opposed.

With an old man with ears hanging on his shoulders and hands over his knees, who feels like a spring breeze, and a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes and a ragged suit sitting behind Liu Bowen and others, the educators who came to participate in the meeting are basically all here. up.

"My lord is very grateful that you can come here. If there is anything wrong with the reception in the past few days, I hope you will forgive me. I, Liu Bowen and Zhang Juzheng, will fully represent my lord at this meeting. My lord is just watching and will not make any announcements. Speech. If you have no other questions, then this discussion will start here, and please speak freely."

With Liu Bowen's simple opening remarks, this education seminar officially began.
