"People have been sent to Qufu."

Wang Shoude looked at Fan Yu and said, "Aren't you opposed to the new learning in Henan Prefecture?"

Fan Yu said: "That is simply confusing right and wrong!"

"When is the entrance examination for new students of Luo Jing University scheduled?"

"The first day of September."

Wang Shoude sneered and said, "Well, let's prepare for the new exam on the first day of September."

"How to prepare?"

"A group debate!"

"Group debate?" Fan Yu asked doubtfully.

Wang Shoude said: "Aren't the new students claiming to be talented? Then we will test them in public. If they can't answer the questions in front of everyone, let's see how they have the face to take the exam!"

“Wouldn’t that call many people to go?”

Lu Cheng said: "There are many people from Songyang Academy who are willing to go, and I have already sent an invitation letter to Duke Yansheng, inviting him to give lectures at Songyang Academy. This will definitely unite scholars from all over the world."

Wang Shoude said to Fan Yu: "Boda, you also need to use your connections to call on everyone."

Fan Yu hesitated: "Isn't this... inappropriate?"

He, Fan Yu, naturally has connections.

His wife Cai is the granddaughter of Cai Xiang, a famous minister of Renzong Dynasty, and the granddaughter of Wen Yanbo.

He himself was promoted as an academic scholar by Henan Prefecture and had a profound influence on the academic circles of Henan Prefecture.

"Boda, it's already this time, what worries do you still have?" Wang Shoude said, "You have also seen the new academic rules. Even carpenters and blacksmiths can study at Luojing University, and after graduation, they can become civil servants.

, if you can write, wouldn’t you want to be an official?”

"This is an insult to the sacred science!" Fu Dingfang, who was sitting aside and rarely spoke, suddenly said.

He is nearly eighty years old and is the grandson of Fu Bi, a famous minister of Renzong Dynasty.

Wealthy families are powerful and prominent families in Luoyang. Although the wealthy and famous families in the Song Dynasty no longer have a large number of armed forces like the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, their influence on local ideology cannot be underestimated.

Fu Dingfang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He said: "The new school in Gyeonggi Road is making a mess, and now the court wants to push the new school to Luojing! This is trampling on the sacred learning! The Song Dynasty did not die at the hands of the Jin people.

, are you going to die in the hands of your own people?"

"Don't be angry, Mr. Rich, and be careful with yourself." Fan Yu said quickly.

The mood of the others also rose, and they began to speak with indignation.

Do you want to say that Fu Dingfang is a villain?

Not really.

Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan jointly promoted the Qingli New Deal. Although it failed, Fu Bi himself was a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty and his family was very strict.

It's just that he is a Confucian scholar after all, and as people get older, they tend to become paranoid.

In other words, families with strict upbringing are more likely to cultivate paranoia.

Fu Dingfang said: "That's it! I will go to Yingtian Academy to unite and put pressure on the higher ups!"

On the evening of the third day of August, Tokyo city.

Li Chunyou was sitting at Cai Mao's house drinking tea.

Cai Mao said: "Qufu has sent people?"

"I went." Li Chunyou said, "But I heard that Kong Duanyou, Duke Yansheng, is ill, and Kong Fan is now in charge of the Kong family."

Cai Mao suddenly said: "There were rumors among the people that the Confucius Mansion had contacts with the Jin Army. Is it true or false?"

"Maybe the Jin army passed by Qufu and met Yan Shenggong, but it was just a meeting. The Jin army used force, and there was nothing they could do if Yan Shenggong didn't see him. At this time, he was making excuses, and no one in the court was talking about it."

"As long as they don't surrender to the Jin army, it will be fine. If they surrender, it will be a big trouble." Cai Mao said.

"Don't worry, Xianggong Cai, how could Duke Yansheng surrender to the Jin army?" Li Chunyou said with a smile.

"Wang Shoude wants to invite Duke Yansheng to give lectures at Songyang Academy?"

"Yes, it is actually to unite people's hearts. Zhao Ding wants to open a new school in Luoyang. It is obviously to provide more talents for the New Deal. When the Gyeonggi Road New School is opened, carpenters and blacksmiths can become officials. This incident itself has caused countless

Despite people's opposition, these New Dealers still dare to push Luo Jing, for fear that the world will not be in chaos!"

At this time, a servant said outside: "Ms. Cai, there is someone outside who claims to be an official from Zhao, asking to see you."

Cai Mao and Li Chunyou looked at each other, quickly stood up and walked outside together.

Outside Cai's Mansion, there was a young man wearing ordinary-looking clothes and a hat, his face covered, followed by several people.

The young man said: "Ms. Cai, let's go in and talk."

Cai Mao and Li Chunyou were stunned, and their pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole at the same time.

Obviously, they all reacted and quickly welcomed the person in. They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

After hearing about Zhao Guanren, they thought it was the official family who came.

Unexpectedly, it was the prince who came.

This made them confused, happy, and a little worried at the same time.

After Zhao Chen entered the house, he said, "Ms. Cai, please forgive me for coming uninvited."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit this humble residence. I am extremely honored."

"I took the liberty of coming here, so I didn't disturb Xianggong Cai, right?"

"No, no." Cai Mao quickly ordered someone to make tea, "I wonder if your highness, sir, would like to give me some advice?"

"Advice is out of the question. I'm here to ask Cai Xianggong for advice."

"Your Highness, please make it clear."

"I heard that the new learning has begun to be implemented in Daming, Nanjing, Yingtian, Nanjing and Luoyang, Xijing?"

"It is true." Li Chunyou replied.

Cai Mao felt complicated because the prince suddenly came to his house to ask about Xin Xue.

It seems that the prince's concern for political affairs is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and he has always tolerated it before.

At such a young age, you can actually endure it all the time?

But the strange thing is that the prince is acting too immature at this time. He has just joined politics, how can he leave the palace and join the ruling government at will?

If he is discovered, he will surely give up the evidence.

Zhao Chen asked: "What do you think of this policy?"

"To be honest with His Highness the Crown Prince, all the officials are opposed to this policy."

"Why?"

Li Chunyou said: "This policy is a taint and trample on the sacred learning. It was implemented in Gyeonggi Road before, and its influence was limited. Now it is implemented in the four capitals, and there are complaints from all over the world. Soon everyone in the world will know that if it is indulged, where will the rule be?"

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and said, "What are your plans?"

Cai Mao and Li Chunyou looked at each other and neither responded.

Zhao Chen said: "I also think that the new learning is a disorder of government, but I am troubled and have no plan. I would like to ask you to take our country as the top priority!"

The two hesitated for a moment, and after a moment, Li Chunyou said: "His Royal Highness is kind and generous, and everyone in the world knows it."

"What do you need me to do?" Zhao Chen's tone was obviously a little excited.

Cai Mao quickly took over the words: "Your Highness now only needs to handle the affairs in your hands in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Your Highness is the crown prince, and you can no longer show your face at will, lest you tell the truth and be disadvantageous to Your Highness. The world's scholars still need Your Highness."

"Is there nothing I can do?" Zhao Chen's tone obviously became louder.

"Your Highness has just joined politics. His foundation is shallow and his prestige is insufficient. It is better to handle the affairs in the hands of the officials. After accumulating prestige, he can naturally influence the overall situation."

"How long will it take?"

Cai Mao said: "Everyone in the world praises His Highness for his kindness. As long as His Highness concentrates on handling government affairs, he will surely be supported by countless people in the near future."

"What about the new learning now?"

Li Chunyou said: "Your Highness, don't worry. People with lofty ideals from all walks of life have already taken action. We will find a way to bring Wang Shoude to the capital for recommending you to participate in politics. He will be recommended to the Ministry of Rites as the Minister of Rites and be in charge of teaching. With him, we will be even more powerful!"

When it was getting dark, Gao Qiu decided to go to the palace.

"The prince went to Cai Mansion?" Zhao Ning was a little surprised.
