I became the son of Renzong

In fact, Zhao Xi is not sure whether the scientific examination should be changed.

In Zhao Xi's view, no matter which school it is, as long as it is scientific research, it is inseparable from a subset of classics and history. That is to say, the selection of materials for scientific research is still the same thing.

Classics, that is, the interpretation can explain the great sky, as long as it is not an encyclopedia, there will be limitations.

History has its inevitability, and so does technology.It is not a certain person who can drive an era leap, not even an emperor.

Zhao Xi understands this.

Starting from the industry, guiding people to have a certain understanding, while stably improving the status of craftsmen, within a certain range, can breed a trend, Zhao Xi is already very satisfied.

The main reason is that he really doesn't have the ability to systematically make a set of teaching materials.

What's more, he is an emperor, he acts and is watched all the time, he can't do those things for no reason.

Don't talk about heaven's bestowal, the more you follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, the more you think heaven's bestowment is nonsense.

Perhaps in the future, he can promote the proportion of science and technology in the affairs of the state and the state when he is in charge of governance.

For the emperor, the starting point for considering the problem is: whether it is conducive to the rule of the imperial power.And the current scientific research, no matter which school of thought it is, can't get rid of this point, and it won't get rid of it.

The so-called separation of powers, not to mention the current era, even in later generations, Zhao Xi did not think that kind of separation of powers was suitable for this country.

The unified centralization of power is the most suitable form of government for this nation, and even the entire Han cultural region.

Zhao Xi remembers reading a book about system and culture.

The cultural root of the Han nationality is the basin culture.The need for great unification is the need for governance, the need for security, and even more the need for culture.

To use the simplest example, let's talk about harnessing the Yellow River.The flooding of the Yellow River is a serious problem for the entire Yellow River Basin. The effect of harnessing the Yellow River from the upper reaches is the most significant, but the beneficiaries are the middle and lower reaches.

According to ancient legends, the control of the flooding of the Yellow River started from the source of the Yellow River and from the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Protecting the vegetation in the upper reaches and diverting the flow in the upper reaches are the most effective ways to control the Yellow River.But the upper reaches of the Yellow River are Xixia...

Guochao's demand for unification of Xixia is nominally due to Li Yuanhao's betrayal. In fact, this demand is rooted in the cultural roots and is a subconscious demand.

This is also the reason why there is a big gap between bringing Dali into the territory and defeating Xixia in the court and scholars.

Watershed culture is the foundation of this nation, not the kind of city-state culture that can be self-sufficient by building a castle and surrounding a few villages...

It's far away... Let's go back to Confucianism and scientific research.

After investigation by the Secretary of the Imperial City, Zhao Xi found out that there are so many schools of thought in interpreting classics in this era.

Zhao Xi looked around, and the so-called academic differences turned out to be different understandings of "Yi".

Otherwise, there would be no Confucian school of Xiangshu like Shao Yong's. It cannot be said that he is the top Confucianist, and he is also a serious interpretation of the Eight Classics. The direction of explanation is nothing more than hexagrams and Yao Ci.

It's no wonder that Confucianism often uses the two emperors and three kings to talk about things. Didn't these three kings include King Wen of Zhou.The most famous one is probably "Book of Changes".

At this point, I have to explain.

At the beginning when Confucius founded the Confucian school, he borrowed "Yizhuan" to argue for Confucianism.

When interpreting Confucian classics, in order to prove their orthodoxy, various academic schools went to the original explanation of "Yi".

Well, it's really messy, and the more you understand it, the more messy it becomes.

This thing, how should I put it, is that different people's opinions can best explain the problem.

Zhao Xi looked at the core teachings of all the schools, did some understanding, and found that he was even more confused.

To be able to become an academic, of course not to talk nonsense, all are well-founded, otherwise it is impossible to achieve a certain influence in Shilin.

Originally thinking that I could find my own mind from all these viewpoints, I stopped the debate in Zhengshitang directly.

Only now do I realize that I really don't have the ability.

To be honest, if it weren't for the thousand years of knowledge, I would be a novice in this era, and I can convince myself of the views of any school of thought.

How to do?

"My lords, is there any conclusion about the scientific research?"

I have something to ask my husband.Zhao Xi never thought of using himself as a petty official, it is impossible to do everything carefully, otherwise what's the use of supporting this group of ministers and workers?

"Officials, the proposition is nothing more than a subset of classics and history. Following the convention, there is no meaning of addition or subtraction. The main reason is the difference in the classic annotations."

Zhao Xi knew what Han Qi said, and what Zhao Xi asked was if they had figured out any way to solve it.

Ever since Fu Bi Dingyou, Han Qi became the head of the political affairs hall, it seems that the edges and corners have been rounded, but only a little.At the very least, he didn't meddle in the scientific research controversy, and he didn't even support or oppose any party.

It is estimated that Lao Han did not touch anything...

"As usual?"

Zhao Xi knew that the scientific research in the Qingli Year was different from that in the Huangyou Year, but he didn't understand which routine they decided to follow.

Of course, this is because the Zhengshitang has not yet reached a conclusion. After reaching an agreement, it will report and adopt its own opinions.

"Reporting to the officials, take the examination type of Princess Ouyangxiang in the second year of Jiayou's reign as an example. No additions or deletions will be made."

It was after the reform of scientific research, that is, ancient exegesis, which restored the policy theory of the previous dynasty as one of the contents, and appropriately reduced the weight of poems and prose.

So-so, so for the time being.

"Officials, it's just that you have differences in the interpretation. It's too early. It's best if the Zhengshitang can reach an agreement. If it can't be achieved, the officials need to specify a comment..."

This is basically the situation, and the Secretary of the Imperial City has also inquired clearly.

"That's it...Masters, when I was young, I studied under Sun Mingfu. I heard that the current interpretation of Guochao is one of the founders."

"Although I studied under Sun Mingfu, I was busy with business affairs and did not make any achievements in my studies. Now I have heard that there are many people. The court has not held a court banquet for many days, and now there are disputes in the Zhengshitang because of interpretation."

"Everyone, see if this is okay. To organize a debate, or to say that the interpretation schools that shaped the country, have the opportunity to enter the classroom, and each school can also learn from each other's strengths and improve their own academics."

"Similarly, you can also clarify the way in the debate, so as to clarify the interpretation of the next year's scientific research. How?"

Zhao Xi was quite embarrassed, thinking that this was just looking for something to do while idle.

Indeed, there is really no big deal in the recent period of the Chaotang. Just as there is such a controversy in the Zhengshitang, he especially wants to have a deeper understanding of the so-called Confucian orthodoxy today, and even wants to know what the Neo-Confucianism is like.

So, he wants to play a big job.

As everyone knows, in Zhao Xi's eyes, it's just a joke, but in the eyes of the people in the Political Affairs Hall, this is a major event comparable to the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

For Shilin, what is more sacred than court debates?
