Who Cares

Emperor Shengyuan had received the "Annotations on Subsets" presented by Tai Shiling as early as half a month ago, and there were many civil servants of unfamiliar background who wanted to elect Xu Guangzhi as the chief examiner of the subject, and even the world's students waved the flag for him and made a big splash.

Obviously, he had refuted it twice before, degrading Xu Guangzhi's reputation into the mud, but he still had the ability to jump out, and jumped more than once. This shows how ambitious this person is, how tough he is, and how capable he is. Perhaps because of the last time he was dependent on the powerful and lost to the hearts of the people, this time he learned his lesson, took control of the hearts of the people first, and replaced the objects of entrapment with students from all over the world.

How many students are there in the world? Thousands of thousands, endless follow-ups, and how many of them can be mentored by famous teachers? Nothing! It was precisely this point that Xu Guangzhi dared to pass many giants of Confucian scholars and wrote "Annotation to Subsets", because he knew that as long as this book spreads, all the poor students in the world will become his loyal fans. Then he published an article expounding his views on "teaching", advertised himself as a pioneer in advancing Confucianism, and degraded his critics as the Shu dog Wu Niu, completely blocking the mouths of the current literati.

This punch and two punches continued to smash down, really smashing a road to the sky for him. Because of his wife, Emperor Sheng Yuan hated Wu and Wu, and immediately wanted to dismiss the memorial, but due to his high reputation, if he suppressed him or made the world's students chill, he could only delay.

When Tai Shiling asked about it, Emperor Sheng Yuan said that he hadn't fully understood the "Annotations to Subsets", so he had to think about it. Promoting the imperial examination compulsory reading list is a major event after all. Tai Shiling is not easy to urge, so he has to suppress it. However, he was already confident, and only waited for the emperor's approval, he and Xu Guangzhi joined hands to write a few more Confucian notes, gaining a name for himself, attracting students, and expanding his influence.

Some people are waiting, and the Emperor Sheng Yuan is also waiting. Based on his understanding of his wife, she rarely hates a person, but once she hates it, she must never die. The first two times were deadly with Xu Guangzhi, and there was no reason why there was no movement at all this time, so he sent a guard to inquire, and I got the news that his wife was also writing a book.

Warriors fight with swords, lights, swords and shadows, and blood and rain; literati fight with words and pens, penetrating clouds and cracking stones. Madam, are you preparing to start a literary war with Xu Guangzhi? Thinking about it this way, Emperor Sheng Yuan was expecting it, and he opened the "Subset Notes" and read it carefully, trying to find out the mistakes and omissions.

In this way, time naturally passed quickly. Unknowingly half a month passed, Emperor Sheng Yuan found out seven or eight suspects, recorded them in a pamphlet, and waited for advice from his wife in the future, but suddenly received a stack of manuscripts from the dark guard. Said to be a masterpiece of the lady.

"Did you finish writing so soon?" Sheng Yuandi was surprised, and after turning over two pages, he couldn't help laughing. Madam, madam, in addition to rascals, hypocrisy, and duplicity, you must report to you and write like a knife. You really won't leave Xu Guangzhi at all!

"Learning to learn from time", Xu Guangzhi misinterpreted the words "time" and "xi". He actually asked his wife to go through all the works of Kong Sheng to prove the true meaning of the two words. Want to let go of the slightest negligence.

Emperor Sheng Yuan could almost imagine her reading at night with a lamp, struggling to write a book; she could also imagine her groping with white fingertips word by word. She was really unambiguous at all, and when she decided to do it, she tried her best to do her best.

Taking out his pamphlet and comparing it with his wife's manuscript, Emperor Sheng Yuan was ashamed. He thought that he had worked very hard and had great gains, but compared with his wife, he was still far behind. It is expected that the level of those outside students who are taught by Xu Guangzhi is even lower.

When Emperor Shengyuan secretly decided to increase the difficulty of the imperial examination and select the real talents, another secret guard came to report, saying that his wife’s article had provoked a literary war, and now all the Hong Confucian scholars gathered in the teahouse opposite the literary list, listening to the Confucian scholars singing. If any article arouses their attention, it will immediately refute or comment on it.

The literary thoughts of Confucian scholars are very comparable. Because there is a sea of ​​books hidden in the chest, but with inspiration, you can write an essay without much thought. Therefore, in just half a day, Mrs. An article is more profound than an article, and an article is more subtle than an article. The literary magnates seemed to be competing. First they tried their best to test each other. They saw that their opponents were quite deep. Then they showed their real skills. Later, more and more masters participated. Baby.

This is cheaper than the students who came to watch. They felt that this article was exquisite and that the article was excellent. Even if they had hundreds of pairs of eyes, they couldn't come over, and their hearts were burning with anxiety.

Emperor Shengyuan did not expect that his wife would make such a big noise, but it is a good thing for the moment. He immediately dispatched the Guards to protect the literary list, and one article was not allowed to be overlaid on another article. ; Others are not allowed to uncover it at will; the eight stone walls are not enough to paste and eight wooden walls are added; after nightfall, all the articles have to be copied and backed up, and finally registered in the book.

Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have had the habit of cherishing their own brooms, mastering what secret skills they are accustomed to hiding and holding them, and even keep their hands on disciples, so many skills or academics have slowly declined. Waiting for you to catch up with me, the grand occasion of knowing everything is almost unheard of.

If it is about inciting people's hearts, the wife is still the most familiar with this, but Xu Guangzhi was dragged by her and used as a target, and suffered a huge hidden loss in vain. Didn't you see that each of these Hongru would step on Xu Guangzhi in the article? It was also a trend that the lady brought up.

The Emperor Shengyuan was concerned about the development of the situation, and when he was admired by his wife, he was relieved when he saw that she had been hiding quietly, and did not participate in the follow-up literary war. Now that her nickname has been exposed, she might be suspected of being rampant in the juniors if she confuses her. However, her age and gender gave her the most comprehensive protection. A single sentence "Don't care about the female stream" can stop the mouths of the literary giants and make her knowledge more noticeable.

The woman is only three points high, and she can get seven points by spreading it out, and the husband is high and fighting, at this time no one can belittle her without conscience. But in the future, she will use the name of the inverse hostel person to post, the authority and influence will be greatly reduced. The world despises women, this is popular and cannot be changed.

When Madam becomes the Queen of Wei, she will no longer be treated slowly by anyone. I want her to become the most noble woman in the world. Thinking about this, the Emperor Shengyuan finally calmed down, tore the paper strips that recorded the defamation of his wife into shreds, and threw them into the brazier and burned them.

----

The next day, there was silence in the court hall. Several civil servants who had previously advocated Xu Guangzhi's entry into office were silent, cold sweat like a waterfall, and secretly prayed that half a month passed, the emperor had forgotten their memorials. But the day failed, and the emperor took out a book. It was the "Subset Notes". No doubt, he took out a thick stack of manuscripts, and said in a deep voice, "Yenjing broke out a literary war yesterday, which made me really open. In view of the horizon, the original literary title and academic disputes are no less prestigious than the battles between cities and territories. I spent a day and night reading the masterpieces of Hong Confucian scholars, and the twelve-hour income was far better than years of hard study. The Chinese ink is surging, and the aftertaste is endless!"

He casually tossed the "Annotation to Subsets" aside, in a cold tone, "I was almost trapped by this Xu Weng once again. Last time I discussed the law and ruined my Chao Gang, this time writing the book disrupted my literary examination. If I approve you The memorial, listing this book as one of the must-read items in the imperial examination is equivalent to letting Xu's words override the sacred words; making Xu's Neo-Confucianism dictate the literary world of the Wei State. Ten or twenty years have passed, who else can understand the real? The thinking of Confucius and Mencius? All became his mouthpiece and supporter of Xu Guangzhi alone!"

He brushed down the book fiercely, and he said word by word, "Today, all the scholars are students of the emperor, not followers of other people! If anyone is ganging up in and out of the country and using power for personal gain, don't blame me for taking the thunder! Xu Guangzhi's ambitions Vigorous, the picture is not small, I really dare not use it, whoever recommends him to be an official in the future, first stabilize his black hat and say!"

I can't understand Xu Guangzhiguang's recruitment of students, and the majority of civil servants who monopolize academics are prepared today to prevent him from becoming an official. However, he did not expect that the emperor would completely block his front and back roads as soon as he came.

"Your Majesty is wise!" One person bowed down, and everyone surrendered.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the emperor was walking forward and slowly said, "The emperor, the ministers have a book. Although Xu Guangzhi has a good reputation, he has also set a precedent to seek a good teacher for the world's students. The emperor calmed down his anger. Feeling that the students of the Wei Kingdom were thirsty for knowledge, the emperor urged the emperor to convene the world's great scholars to create a Confucian treasure, pass it on to the present and future generations, and call upon the masters of the hundreds of scholars to create another encyclopedia. Don't make the Central Plains culture decay, don't make us wait for the teacher's door to wither.

Emperor Shengyuan's political sense was so keen, he immediately realized the huge benefits that the emperor had said. Casting the Confucianism treasure can establish the status of Confucianism in Chinese culture at the fastest speed, and lay a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of the art of imperialism; the huge temptation of casting a hundred schools of thoughts will attract countless capable people and strangers to gather in Yanjing. Used by the court.

After the war, although Wei had a vast land, most of the people fled to Guanwai or overseas, lest the barbarians would take control and harm the Han people; Xu Guangzhi shouted the slogan of "respecting Confucianism" and shocked hundreds of scholars. What is Wei Guo lacking most now? In addition to national government revenue is talent.

The Jiuli people were good at martial arts but were not versed in writing, and were not loyal to Emperor Shengyuan. He could not use it or dared to use it. There were too few servants who served under his command, so that he could not completely eliminate the influence of the family on the court, just because of them. It monopolizes academics, and it also monopolizes talents.

Legalists, military strategists, physicians, historians, peasants, Mohists...all scholars from hundreds of schools are the pillars of the country. If they can gather in Yanjing and rush into the court, what will be the trouble? What's wrong with Xue Thief? Wei Guo is bound to be powerful in five years!
