Zhao Ning didn't say anything else.

He just said: "Go down and discuss it in court tomorrow morning."

"I excuse myself."

Gao Qiu walked to the door and turned back: "Your Majesty, I met the prince on the way here just now."

"The prince is working in the East Palace, why are you surprised when you meet him?"

"The prince said that he was coming to see your majesty to discuss important matters with him. On the way, he met Xianggong Cai. Mr. Cai called the prince away regarding the assessment of officials in Dengzhou on the South Beijing Road."

"I know, let's go down."

"I excuse myself."

On the second day, before dawn, the officials left their homes one after another and headed for the palace.

We are already waiting at Daqing Hall.

The Daqing Hall is generally used only during large court gatherings, while the generally smaller Chui Gong Hall is used for morning court meetings.

Today, not only the officials above the rank of doctor came to the Daqing Hall, but also the junior officials such as Yuanwailang and the principal.

There are also officials from the three provinces such as admonishment officials, daily residence ministers, general affairs ministers and other officials.

After Shenzong's restructuring, the Song Dynasty began to restore its own officials, but there were still many idle officials.

These casual officials also arrived one after another today.

There was no room left in the Daqing Hall, so those with lower official positions stood outside the Daqing Hall.

Zhao Ning, dressed in regular clothes, walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

Next, the ministers saluted the emperor. After the ceremony, the brightly lit hall fell silent.

Zhao Guanjia glanced around and said: "If there is something to do, I will leave the court if there is nothing to do."

The hall fell into a brief dead silence.

It took a while before someone came forward.

"I have something to report."

It was Gu Changzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. He was not only a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, but also a scholar in Gyeonggi Road and in charge of the Academic Affairs Department in Kaifeng Prefecture.

You can think of this as a department-level official, and a department-level official in the capital.

"What's the matter?"

This Gu Changzhi was an official of the New Deal faction. He was recommended by the New Deal faction and placed in the Ministry of Rites, specifically responsible for the new learning in Gyeonggi Road.

All eyes were focused on Gu Changzhi. Unexpectedly, the first person to come out was an official from the New Deal faction.

"Your Majesty, the Luojing University case on the first day of September is very involved. I request that Xijing New School be suspended."

As soon as he said these words, the whole court was in an uproar.

Everyone knows the purpose of today's morning meeting. Everyone has made a draft all night long and is ready to start giving advice on the Luo Jing University case.

But I never expected that a New Deal official, who was promoted to a scholar in Gyeonggi Road, would be the first to stand up and oppose the Luoyang New Study.

This was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, even Zhao Ning's expectations.

This is a New Dealer!

Although the new learning in Gyeonggi Road was successfully implemented, most of it was because Li Ruoshui, Xu Han and others did it themselves. Gu Changzhi just took a free ride in his position.

But after all, he is also a New Dealer, and he has the aura of a New Dealer hero.

But he spoke out to stop Luo Jing's new study.

While everyone was surprised, Wang Shoude, the Minister of Rites, showed a hint of a catchy smile on his lips.

Wang Shoude thought to himself: The New Deal faction is nothing more than that. There is a mixed bag within the New Deal faction, and many people are just doing it for their own interests. If they put a little more pressure and then use benefits to seduce them, don’t hold on anymore. Wouldn’t that mean they will switch sides?

?

Zhao Ning is not in a hurry. Gu Changzhi was not promoted by him, but recommended by the New Dealers and appointed by the Political Affairs Hall.

He asked: "Why did you say this?"

Gu Changzhi said: "In the past, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants had an orderly hierarchy and followed the etiquette system, which made the world peaceful and the people all over the world were able to live happily. However, this is the beginning of a new learning, so chaos arose."

What he meant by this was that everyone was fine before, but since they started implementing the new learning, things started to get chaotic.

Zhao Guanjia asked: "Your Majesty, this Luo Jing University case was caused by the implementation of new learning?"

"Indeed!"

Hu Yin, who was also a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the Song Dynasty newspaper office, immediately came out and said, "This is wrong!"

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Hu Yin.

Hu Yin said: "The Luoyang case was clearly caused by someone deliberately causing trouble. How come it has to do with etiquette?"

The admonishing officer Li Zhuo came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Gu said is right. The Luo Jing University case happened all because of the destruction of etiquette!"

Zhao Ning glanced around and saw that the people from Jianyuan also came out.

He looked around again and saw that other officials seemed to be unable to bear it and were already planning to come out.

Including three provinces, six ministries, nine ministers and twenty-four divisions, Yushitai, Hanlin Academy, etc.

This is interesting.

It turns out that everyone really can't stand it any longer.

It turns out that so many people have prejudices against new learning.

Li Zhuo continued: "There is a saying in "The Book of Documents": All punishments, light and heavy, have the right to be punished. Punishments should be light in the world and heavy in the world. Wei Qi is not Qi."

As soon as Li Zhao finished speaking, Liu Shi, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, also came out.

Liu Shen said: "Xunzi said: If the division is equal, there will be no deviation; if the forces are equal, there will be no unity; if all are equal, there will be no use. There is heaven and earth, but there are differences between up and down."

Gu Changzhi said: "The King of Ming Dynasty has just been established, but the country is under a state system! The noble husband and the noble cannot get along with each other, and the humble husband cannot work with each other. It is a fate."

What do they mean?

Xunzi is one of the sages of Confucianism. These words they said are one of the ritual systems and one of the embodiments of the core ideas of Confucianism.

The most important thing is the four words "Weiqifiqi".

The core meaning of these four words is that if society wants to achieve equality, it must pay attention to "non-equity". "Fei-qi" means that people cannot be put on the same line, but must be in an orderly manner.

Farmers are farmers, and craftsmen are craftsmen.

Putting them together with the prime minister and treating them as a kind of people is called "weiqi".

This kind of "weiqi" is not "qi".

In layman's terms, it looks like equality, but is actually not equal.

This is what Xunzi means.

It is also a manifestation of the Confucian "ritual system" and is regarded by Confucian scholars as one of the cores of governing the world.

This is undoubtedly for new students.

Because at first glance, the new school is all about people, agriculture, industry and commerce being put on one line so that everyone can enter the school.

This is one of the reasons why so many Confucian scholars have given up on the new learning.

Gu Changzhi also said: "The power and position are equal, but the desires and dislikes are the same. If things cannot be settled, there will be fighting. Fighting will lead to chaos, and chaos will lead to poverty. The ancestors hated the chaos, so they divided the etiquette and righteousness to make them rich and poor, noble and humble. Those who are able to meet each other at the same time are the foundation for nourishing the world."

Okay, the core idea is out.

It means that distinction is a kind of heaven. There is a difference between heaven and earth. This is a matter of course.

If there were no differences between the rich and the poor in the world, it would be impossible to govern and there would be chaos.

Therefore, there must be an equal distinction between the noble and the humble, the differences between the old and the young, and the rich and the poor.

Zhao Ning felt a little surprised that Gu Changzhi was a member of the New Deal faction, but he did not hesitate to switch sides this time.

But he is a little lucky. This is undoubtedly a reminder to the backbones of the New Deal faction. The people you recommend are very good at disguising, so be careful in the future.

Zhao Guanjia didn't say anything, and was going to continue watching them dance. It would be best if a few more people came out.
Chapter completed!
