Take the system to become Uncle Liu

As soon as Liu Bowen finished speaking, a person beside Dong Zhongshu said righteously and sternly: "Master Cai, Mr. Qiao, and everyone, I'm Zigong. Since Master Liu has already said it, let me throw bricks and attract jade."

"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Master Dong Zhongshu proposed to "dismiss all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone". All other non-Confucian students are forbidden to study."

"This reform has been advocated for hundreds of years. My generation of students also followed what the emperor said. I never thought that today, when I came to Liu Bei, it would change. Whether it is the imperial examination or the filial piety, I think I am still knowledgeable. Far surpassing others, but what is Liu Bei's exam question? This is simply breaking the ancestor law!"

"Why does the imperial examination not test Confucian culture? Why is the test not based on what we have learned, but according to our personal wishes? Could it be that we students are called to accompany him to stage a farce, let alone this imperial examination Exams, what about the future exams? Is what we have learned already useless.”

I have to say that Zi Gong's question really went deep into the hearts of the people, not that he asked the question for himself, all of them were from the perspective of the world's students, which made people have to pay attention to it. Even Liu Bei didn't know that he was taking an imperial examination. It will have such a deep impact. I thought it would only affect the interests of the aristocratic family, but I never thought that it would be a weather vane, with such a far-reaching impact.

"Zigong said from the bottom of his heart. From the perspective of students all over the world, your concerns are right and there is no problem at all. If I were an ordinary student, or even a student who failed the exam, I would be like you. So anxious, so bewildered."

Hearing that the other party Zhang Juzheng actually followed his own way and agreed with his remarks, Zi Gong's face softened a little.

"Everyone, please listen to the next sentence. The decision to "respect Confucianism alone" was indeed made by Emperor Wu, but everyone, don't forget the situation at that time. After the Wenjing rule, the national power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already quite strong, and it was a unified state. situation, and the long-standing thinking of governing by doing nothing is obviously not suitable for the people and the country at that time, so how can we let nature take its course if we want to develop.”

"So when Dong Zhongshu put forward the proposal of "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Emperor Wu readily agreed and made it a national policy. Since then, this proposal has been implemented in accordance with it."

"However, please think about the current situation of my big man. It can be said that there are internal and external troubles. There are descendants who claim to be Xiang Yu occupying Jiangdong and eyeing the Central Plains. The Xiongnu and Goguryeo are constantly invading southward, and as expected, next year Youzhou may be far from lucky, and at this time of national crisis, how can we completely follow the rules of our ancestors."

"Think about the exam questions formulated by our lord again. These are questions that are closely related to us. How many of you have served as county magistrates and governed the people of one side? Contradictions between different races, if we can't resolve these contradictions, how can we go north to resist the Xiongnu?"

"Everyone, please think about it again. Even if you are as strong as Emperor Wu, the army under your command will attack the Xiongnu for thousands of miles and seal the wolves to live in Xu, but will you wipe out these alien races? They will only accumulate strength silently outside the Great Wall. Come back, how many years has it been since I merged the state? How many years have these counties in the north been occupied by foreign races."

It has to be said that Zhang Juzheng's words were sonorous and forceful, directly making Zigong and the others speechless.

Especially when they heard the current situation of the big Han, many people silently lowered their heads, and they all knew that without Liu Bei, let alone these alien races, even the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not know how long it would last, let alone It is said that the whole territory of Bingzhou has been conquered, and they can only be displaced, so how can they sit here and talk about it.

Liu Bei listened to Zhang Juzheng's answer with satisfaction, but Liu Bei always felt strange about what they were talking about, especially when he saw Dong Zhongshu sitting in the audience, Liu Bei's strangeness was even stronger.

After thinking silently for a moment, Liu Bei suddenly realized that this Dong Zhongshu was just sitting below. They said on the left that Dong Zhongshu proposed "removing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" and on the right. What is the difference between Dong Zhongshu in the period?

"Ding! Host, you have finally noticed this problem. When summoning Le Yi, the system originally wanted to change the names of all the summoned ancient talents, but after thinking about it, it decided to change everyone's perception of names, such as Dong Zhongshu, You will pay attention to this name, but other people will ignore it directly, and even when you say these words, you will not feel anything else."

"All in all, the host doesn't need to worry about the ancient characters being exposed after they come to this world, the system has been silently harmonious."

Hearing the prompt from the system, Liu Bei could only answer silently, well, it turns out that the system has already completed all of this, no wonder he always feels weird.

While Liu Bei was communicating with the system, Duan Muci in the audience was dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's answer and asked Zhang Juzheng.

"This lord is really good at speaking. It is true that the situation in ancient and modern times is different, and there may be some changes, but I want to ask why Liu Bei can change the way of selecting talents on behalf of the emperor, and formulate the examination questions according to his own preferences."

Listening to Duanmuci's question, Liu Bowen chuckled, and couldn't help thinking that this person could really be called a nerd.

"Student, if you have time, please pay more attention to things other than Confucian culture. My lord Liu Bei was appointed by the emperor himself, Bingzhou Mu and Jizhou Mu. He already has the right to open the government and can appoint officials, so How to select officials and what is the standard can be decided by our Lord."

"One more thing, let me explain to you that this imperial examination, my idea is to select practical talents, who can take office immediately and play a role, rather than people who are full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Don't worry, everyone. Just think about it. Everywhere is still under the invasion of foreign races, if you only know Confucianism, what will happen when the enemy invades?"

Liu Bowen directly blushed at Duanmuci's question. It was Duanmuci himself who didn't understand the situation, so he asked such a low-level question. He actually asked why a state shepherd appoints officials. This is like asking why a person cooks at home , is simply a fool's question.

Seeing that the people around him were constantly deflated, Dong Zhongshu finally couldn't sit still, and said with a gloomy face: "Master Liu and Master Zhang are really eloquent, and we scholars are speechless when they refute. I have a few questions. I hope you two will not hesitate to enlighten me."
