In fact, Li Chunyou said that the situation is very good, which is correct in some aspects.

On the fifth day of September, the fight at Luo Jing University has caused a stir in Tokyo officialdom.

How serious is this matter?

Luo Jing University is the new policy of the imperial court. The new learning really started at the University of Tokyo and achieved staged success at the feet of the emperor.

Although there were some minor quarrels, they were innocuous.

The University of Tokyo has produced countless New Deal talents in recent years. Although most of them are still working as supervisors at the grassroots level at this moment, they are indispensable for the New Deal's current achievements.

Even the College of Engineering of the University of Tokyo has sent a group of construction talents to Northwest, Hebei, and Hedong.

Knowledge is no longer limited to traditional Confucianism, and all schools of thought can enter the hall of elegance.

These people who came out of the University of Tokyo have become a force that cannot be ignored in the Song Dynasty.

It just so happens that this force represents the New Deal.

They are the foundation for the implementation of the New Deal.

If the new school had stayed in Tokyo, the fight at ROK University on September 1st might not have happened.

However, the Sijing New Learning that began in the fifth year of Jingkang's reign has undoubtedly begun to touch the interests of Confucianism in the ideological field on a large scale.

To put it simply, it is a battle for the high ground of public opinion.

To put it simply, it is a battle for the right to interpret legal principles.

In the past era, all legal principles were explained by Confucian scholars.

All kinds of behaviors in the social structure of the Song Dynasty can be found in the classics from the Confucian sages, and then interpreted by the most knowledgeable and wise people of this era.

For example, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Er Cheng, Zhang Zai, Su Shi and others in the Song Dynasty.

Their scholarship has influenced countless scholars, and those scholars have educated all people.

However, since the opening of the University of Tokyo, agriculture, engineering, business, finance, geography, mathematics, etc. have all been included in the textbooks.

For example, Qian Yuqing wrote a book this year called "Business Prosperity of Banknote Handling". Once the book was published, it sold out in just one day.

Why?

Because many business school students who graduated from the University of Tokyo admire this rising star in the Tokyo business community.

Many of these students who graduated from the University of Tokyo were transferred from the Imperial College, and they have already accepted the integration of new learning.

Through them, new ideas spread further.

People no longer limit themselves to using Confucianism to explain the world.

As Qian Yuqing said in plain language in this book: Go make money, making money can make your life more decent.

For another example, many young students entered the Gewuyuan after graduating from the School of Geography, and began to travel around the world, funded by the imperial court, drawing and recording wherever they went.

What they brought back was rapidly forming a new knowledge system.

This is a process that has unknowingly occurred in the past few years and has not aroused the alertness of Confucian forces everywhere.

In other words, some people have noticed it, but it will take time for the Confucian forces in various places to unite.

In the fifth year of Jingkang's reign, the promulgation of the new learning of the four capitals in the imperial court undoubtedly became the moment when conflicts broke out.

So, this is an internal ideological war.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

As for why it broke out at this point in time?

Only a few people realized that it was not a coincidence, but that someone deliberately made this incident happen during this time.

If I have to say who it is, I am afraid there is only one person in this world who has such energy.

Let us raise our vision a few levels higher, and we will find that the international situation during the five years of Jingkang was very special.

In the first half of the year, the Sixth War between Song and Xia broke out, which ended with the Song Dynasty capturing Yinzhou and Song Xia signing a new round of peace treaty.

The war between Song and Qi also ended quickly.

The most important thing is that while the Jin Kingdom was facing the pressure of the Western Expedition, Crown Prince Wanyan Gao suddenly passed away, triggering an internal power grab.

This series of events gave the international situation in the five years of Jingkang a rare window of opportunity for border troubles.

In other words, the fifth year of Jingkang was the year when the War between Song and Jin was least likely to occur, nor was it likely that the War between Song and Xia would break out.

It was under this general environment that the imperial court launched the Four Capitals New School, which further intensified internal conflicts in the ideological field.

However, the most intense conflicts may not break out in the fifth year of Jingkang. Confucian forces may counterattack in the sixth or seventh year of Jingkang.

After all, Cai Mao, the leader of Confucian conservatives, is a very tolerant person.

If it breaks out in the sixth or seventh year of Jingkang, Zhao Ning may face a very severe external environment. The military pressure from Xixia or Jin can only force him to give up the intensification of internal conflicts on a large scale and compromise with the conservative faction.

It was under this general environment that the Zhao Guan family in the Forbidden City used an extremely obscure method to induce some Confucian conservatives to jump out, intensifying conflicts on a large scale and focusing the problem on the Jingkang Five Years.

Erupted.

It is said that times make heroes, and heroes can also influence times.

On September 5, Dongfu launched an urgent "Three Gatherings", and all the administrative officials filled the political hall.

Including Prince Zhao Chen, who served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Zhao Chen sat alone and listened to politics.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty started to quarrel in the political hall over the fight at Luo Jing University.

The situation quickly divided into two groups.

Wang Shoude, the Minister of Rites, publicly stated: "New schools must be stopped immediately, only the University of Tokyo should be retained, and the expanded enrollment quota of the University of Tokyo must be tightened."

His proposal immediately won the approval of many officials, and even some officials who had favored the New Deal in the past began to side with him.

The seriousness of this matter has caused subtle changes in the stance of some people.

Dai Sinong Chen Dong said: "The talents provided by Xinxue have been obvious to all in the past two years. We must not easily stop Xinxue because of this incident!"

Li Chunyou said: "Does Da Sinong know how big the impact of this incident is?"

Chen Dong said: "This is a policy that benefits the country and the people, and is good for farming everywhere!"

"Benefits?" Li Chunyou raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Are the benefits just what you are talking about?"

Chen Dong said: "Last year, Gyeonggi Road's grain production increased, the imperial court's agricultural taxes increased, and the people's burdens were reduced. All this depends on the supervisors and town officials in various places!"

"Ha!" Li Chunyou was even more dismissive, "That is the benevolence and virtue of today's emperor who moved the heavens and sent down auspiciousness to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment and have a good harvest. What does it have to do with the new learning!"

Chen Dong said angrily: "You are using strong words to make excuses!"

"Chen Dong! Who do you think you are? You are not even a Jinshi, and yet you dare to act reckless with us here! If you want to say that the new learning is useful, I will tell you now! Facts have proved that everyone in the world is against the new learning! Luo Jing

The case is the best example!”

Not to be outdone, Chen Dong said: "That's someone with ulterior motives causing trouble behind your back!"
