I became the son of Renzong

"Officials, but there is an imperial court leading, and scholars can participate in the debate?"

Han Qi didn't quite believe it.Scholars have debates, but most of them are from a certain academy, and people from different schools invite them. When has there ever been a debate organized by the imperial court?

"Exactly, debating the scriptures in the form of a court feast, learning from the strengths of others and not sticking to the words of one family."

Isn't there a saying?The more you argue, the clearer you are.There is also a saying that the result of the debate is that each person retains his own point of view.

What kind of experience it will be, it depends on everyone's self-feeling.

Chapter 423 Chaos

This is a grand event, even comparable to a scientific expedition.

Because of the opening of the class this year, the prefectures were already preparing for the autumn exam. When they heard that the imperial court had a large-scale court debate, they all quickly completed the autumn exam at the request of the local scholars.

It is better to hear the content of the court debate in Bianliang in time than to listen to the rumors in the state capital if you can't enter the Daqing Hall and can't see the court debate.

In some remote prefectures, government officials were infected by the sentiments of scholars, and wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the date of the court debate be postponed, so as to ensure that scholars in remote areas can catch up with this grand meeting.

What's more serious is that the officials who originally returned to North Korea to seek jobs at the end of this year coincidentally postponed the time.

There are all kinds of reasons, except for not cursing the death of family members, all other valid reasons can be seen.

For no reason, just to have the opportunity to stand in the Daqing Hall and listen to the court debate.

As for?Zhao Xi couldn't understand Wang Zhongzheng's report of these miscellaneous news.

"Officials, today's horse-drawn carriages transport far more passengers than freight, and Workshop City has to temporarily put in spare carriages..."

What are you doing?It's just a group of people getting together to chat and gossip, and they quit their business?

Alas...Zhao Xi really didn't expect that things would become a big deal.

"They're all scholars?"

"The official family is all scholar officials. Although the time for the court debate has not yet been fixed, it is already hard to find a bed in Bianliang's inn."

What a troublesome thing, I really have nothing to look for.

It's not that the various academies of the Kingdom did not have such activities of debating scriptures, but they have never heard of such a situation happening.

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Zhongzheng, and told him to continue, to continue telling the miscellaneous news.

"Reporting to the official family, that...that book printing house..."

"Which printing house?"

"Because of the book printing workshop under Bi Shengpan in the early years, the officials are rushing to work day and night, and they don't care about printing Cuju Express. They are trying their best to reprint the interpretation and annotations of various schools..."

"Even the Cuju Express has dedicated space to explain the characteristics and core principles of each school."

"Also, the down-and-out literati who originally wrote legendary stories about the official family stopped serializing, and changed them to use rural slang to explain the academics of various schools..."

Is this going to be like that?Zhao Xi really appreciates what Da Song Wenhua is.

As an emperor, because of his responsibilities, he couldn't really recognize the empire's enthusiasm for Wenhua. This time, all of these things gave him an intuitive feeling.

"Officials, and even those Goulan wine shops and Wataifang City, have abandoned the original poetry, prose and drama, and from time to time invite scholars from all over the world to debate the scriptures."

"That's... that's Neiyuan. Ladies and gentlemen, you are also looking through the collection of books in Neiyuan to learn about the academics of various schools."

"Nowadays, in the market, they are all using the eclectic demotion of officials as a cover to convene a grand event of debating scriptures at all levels..."

"Especially some scholars who failed the rankings, even began to criticize the examination questions and examiners over the years..."

It's messed up, it's really messed up, this time it's really unexpected.

Zhao Xi just thought... he had forgotten what it meant.

Maybe it was to resolve the disputes in the Zhengshitang, maybe it was to expand the differences between the ministers of the Zhengshitang, maybe it was to change the form of scientific examination papers, or it was just to have fun and watch the excitement, but in the end it was rejected by the whole Guochao was coerced.

what the hell!Zhao Xi didn't know who to blame.

Large-scale events are the most prone to accidents.It's not that I'm worried that the event will be unsatisfactory. It doesn't matter. The court debate is a formality. As for the result, Zhao Xi already has it in mind. He just needs this process to make his decision convincing.

But now, with such a great momentum, to the point of sweeping the entire country, I have to pay attention to it.

Let’s not talk about the process and rules of the court defense, because the court defense, or other issues derived from the court defense, need to be dealt with.

"Zhongzheng, please pay attention to the debating activities in Goulan Restaurant, and record who the participants are, where they learned from, and who they studied under."

"Focus on the students who criticize the imperial court's scientific examinations over the years or criticize the chief examiner, and investigate their background..."

Originally, Zhao Xi wanted the Imperial City Secretary to deal with it, but after thinking about it, it might intensify, and the Imperial City Secretary didn't care about the importance, so in the end, he still didn't say anything.

But this matter still has to intervene.Maybe people in this era don't pay much attention to public opinion, but Zhao Xi knows the power of public opinion.

No matter what the purpose of the court debate was, it was an official event after all, and Zhao Xi didn't want to be coerced by some messy public opinion in the end.

This is a mess!

In the court debate, it is impossible for all the people of all schools to be placed in the Daqing Hall to talk nonsense, and this will lead to disputes.

Disputes among advocates within schools, disputes among different schools of thought, those who fish in troubled waters, those who pretend to be numbers, and those who deliberately muddy the water, these ghosts and ghosts all come out at this time.

Those who learn from Wang Anshi naturally hope that the scientific examination will be based on new learning, so that the probability of passing the examination will be much higher.

In the mortal world of scholars, creating some momentum for Wang Anshi's new studies and winning over the popularity of scholars is not necessarily to force the imperial court to finally choose new studies, it is always right to gather some popularity.

Similarly, for those who learn from Zhou Dunyi, because Zhou Dunyi has a disadvantage in his official position in the court, it is understandable to appropriately expand some influence in Shilin.

Even if the study of elephant and mathematics is unpopular, if there is such an opportunity, even if Shao Yong is too lazy to play tricks, the scholars who follow him may not want to take the opportunity to let the study of elephant and mathematics enter the room.

At this time, individuals, schools, and regions each have their own goals, which creates such a chaotic situation, and also gives some impure minds an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It is estimated that in the current situation, Sun Tzu's Art of War and the 36 Strategies have traces to follow in the entire Bianliang debate.

If it is really allowed to develop, it is estimated that the court debate has not yet started, and scholars and folks have already won academics, which will even affect the court officials and workers, and eventually the court has to accept this fact and determine the winning school in this chaos For the official school.

It's not that Zhao Xi wanted to judge others maliciously. Although he didn't expect this matter to have such a big impact, Zhao Xi still knew about the orthodox dispute.

The saints of Confucius all have allusions about Zhu Shaozhengmao, let alone these disciples of the saints of Confucius?

At this time, even if they have gone too far, they can still find an excuse to justify their shamelessness with the sage Confucian standing in front of them.

Although Zhao Xi had great trust in the character of Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others, he couldn't believe that their disciples were equally noble in character.

What's more, this is still a battle of orthodoxy, who knows that character and orthodoxy can gain the upper hand?
