I became the son of Renzong

The scriptures are the scriptures of the ancient sages, and the interpretation is the interpretation of the literati today, but the selection of talents is selected by the court, for his Zhao family dynasty.

In other words, this matter still has the final say.Whether it is the rules and content of the court defense, or how to select talents for the scientific examination, it should be up to oneself.

Chapter 426 I Play Differently

The upsurge of Bianliang's debate on the classics continued until the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. People's enthusiasm for the debate even surpassed the annual activities of the first day in Bianliang.

Zhao Xi really understands how this era respects culture...

At this time, it has also come to the moment that attracts the attention of the world: the court debate.

For several months, four venues a day, non-stop debating scriptures, basically the theories of various schools have been divided into sevens and eights.

Regardless of whether it is scholarly society, the government, or even the people, they all have a rough judgment on the final winner.

To be honest, this is quite a test for Zhao Xi.

The court debate requires the emperor's proposition, just like the palace examination is given by the emperor.

Such a long period of debating the scriptures basically covered many issues of the ultimate orthodoxy of various schools of thought.

If the subject of the court debate had been debated before, it would not only lose the meaning of the court debate, but also prove Zhao Xi's knowledge.

"The official family..."

In order to gather for court debate, the first thing to do is to determine the topic of the court debate.Han Qi was too embarrassed to ask the officials.

This grand event has reached this level, it seems that the officials are a little bit like shooting themselves in the foot.

No way!If non-governmental scholastics freely played with debates like this, it would be impossible to exhaust the topics.After all, their structure and knowledge are so little.

Later, those who really had the level of debating the classics and those who really represented the schools of thought were no longer mixed in.

This leaves a lot of room for debate.

What now?In order to maintain the nobility of the classics, the officials forced the imperial court to come forward.

This is official, and it will definitely be flocked to by scholars.What's more, the officials also allowed the results of these debates to be used as a reference for the final court defense.

Similarly, whether it is a veteran official, a famous scholar, or a courtier who is famous for his knowledge, in order to show his knowledge, he has tried his best to come up with questions for those debates.

In the end, it led to the situation where the officials had nothing to say in the court debate...

"Officials, Shilin debates only belong to scholars. Even if the imperial court participates, it is incomparable with court debates. On the same topic, different scholars have different explanations on different occasions."

After all, it is our own people.Han Jiang is looking for a slope for herself, for fear that she will be stuck in the threshold and will not be able to get out.

"Officials, as Han Xianggong said. Different places and different people, even if the topic is the same, the content is not the same. The same topic, but on different occasions, can better reflect the foundation of the argument of the debater."

Lu Gong's works have also followed, and the reasons are quite good.

It seems that the entire political affairs hall agrees with this point of view.

They knew the situation of the classics debate during this period, and covered almost all debateable topics in the classics.

At this time, even if they are asked to make a question, I am afraid that it will repeat what has already been debated... There is no way, there are too many sessions held, and each of them has a poor record. This thing.

It was only at this time that I realized that I was still a member of the imperial court, and court debates were more important than those debates.

The matter has come to this point, the only thing to do is to find a reason to convince yourself.

It's not that there is no problem, it is the later intervention of the imperial court in the debate, which has raised the level of the debate.

At this time, if you are choosing a lower level, or a topic that is popular, it is better to be similar.

Among the Four Books and Five Classics, "Zuo Zhuan" with the largest number of words is only 19 characters, and "Zuo Zhuan" is only a chronological history book, and it is not practical to debate the classics.

Those who can come up with the topic of debate, because it involves the dispute of orthodoxy, are limited to the four books, and the full type is only more than 5 words.

Leaving aside some topics that cannot be debated, there are really not many. Even the topics of the debates in the past few months have also shown traces of patchwork.

Therefore, at this time, even the officials had a similar problem, and the scholars of the whole country would understand it.

"What? Do you think I can't come up with a topic?"

Zhao Xi didn't have these worries.

Zhao Xi was very clear about what was debated in the entire Bianliang debate.

It's nothing more than an excerpt... This is the limitation of the times, and their solidified thinking.

Whether it is scholars or courtiers, the types of questions they ask are exactly the same as those of scientific examinations.It is to extract sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and let the debaters start with them.

Zhao Xi's relaxation did not make the husbands relax, on the contrary, they became more dignified.

After all, the officials did not participate in the debate, even if they knew, they would not know too much detail.

If the officials come up with questions without knowing the truth, if the questions are difficult enough, it’s okay, if the questions are popularized... this is shameful.

"The official family..."

"Everyone, I would like to ask, who are you arguing for?"

"Officials, debating the classics is to debate the classics."

When it comes to scriptures, everyone has their own understanding.In this debate, Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu was truly a blockbuster, and it was also the first time that Wang Anshi's new teachings showed their face in scholars.

At this time, Wang Anshi was confident when answering the officials.

He seemed to feel a little out of place.

The officials are often unexpected, and he really doesn't want any changes in the officials at this time, so that the good situation of Xinxue will come to naught.

"Then I will ask again, since it is a classic, why are there different opinions?"

Zhao Xi can actually say it outright, it's a bit pretentious to do so.

Let these ancient celebrities follow their own words step by step, and finally land on the issues they want to explain, which is quite a sense of accomplishment.

Originally, this court debate was played by Zhao Xi from the beginning...

"Times have changed, and the classics have been interpreted by the great Confucians of the past dynasties. Whether the original meaning of the classics is the original meaning of the sages is unknown."

"Nowadays, the interpretations of various schools of thought are the foundation of the ultimate classics, tracing back to the source, and using this to determine the orthodoxy of Confucianism."

Immersed in classics for many years, every gentleman has his own understanding of classics.At the same time, he also maintained his doubts about the interpretation of the classics by his predecessors.

This is the embodiment of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
