Chapter 177: All the heroes in the world enter the Internet [two in one]
After a total of twelve places for the "Four Masters and Eight Auxiliaries" were selected, it was the time when the representatives of these twelve schools explained their school's thoughts to King Zhao Run of Wei, and at the same time, it was also the time when competition within each school began.
Take Confucianism as an example. There are many academic factions within it, such as traditional Confucianism, and the "Bu family lineage", etc. Although the Wei imperial court selected Confucianism as one of the teaching materials for the state-run schools, the specific internal Confucianism
Which academic faction has a larger proportion depends on their competition.
As for how to compete, Wei Wang Zhao Run still said the same thing: whether it is beneficial to the country and whether it can make the country rich and strong.
As a result, each school within Confucianism once again elected representatives, wrote down the thoughts of their own school, and submitted it to King Zhao Run of Wei.
In fact, generally speaking, Confucianism is the most reassuring to the king, because Confucian ideas basically do not oppose the king. Even if there are occasionally a few ideas that conflict with the royal power, they still use "tactful advice" to persuade the king.
, Therefore, Zhao Run does not need to worry about whether Confucianism will pose any threat to the country, just like the core ideas of Mohism.
But having said that, that is the sentence. Traditional Confucianism is just right to educate people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to improve their virtues. But from the perspective of national interests, to be honest, there are no too innovative or constructive suggestions.
Unlike Legalism, it is a strategic national policy that will often cause widespread controversy and receive mixed reviews.
Zhao Run thought so at first, until the minister of the inner court, Jie Zigui, led his new confidant "Gongyang Gao" to come together and presented the "Gongyang Theory" compiled on the basis of "Bu's Lineage".
This surprised Zhao Run: In the conservative Confucianism, there is such an academic advocating "advancing with the times"?
On that day, Zhao Runzai carefully read the ideological books written by Qi Ren Gongyang Gao, feeling surprised and emotional at the same time.
Similar to Jie Ziyu's thoughts, Zhao Run also clearly realized that the Qi man named Gongyang Gao in front of him was really a rare outstanding talent in the world. Although this man's "Gongyang Theory" was also an alternative Confucian thought,
But in Zhao Run's opinion, it is much better than the old-fashioned Confucian thoughts. Don't just blindly apply the thoughts of the sages. You need to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times. This is enough to replace traditional Confucian thoughts and deserves Zhao Run's strong support.
"Okay! Very good!"
Under Gongyang Gao's surprised and delighted eyes, Zhao Hongrun solemnly praised the former's scholarship: "It is rumored that the Bu family is an alternative to Confucianism. However, in my opinion, the Bu family is the essence of Confucianism."
, and the "Gongyang theory" based on inheriting Bu's thoughts is the essence of the essence..."
"Afraid."
Gongyang Gao crawled to the ground, pleasantly surprised and almost panicked, because he did not expect that the monarch of Wei, Zhao Run, actually respected his academics so much, and even put his thoughts in a higher position than traditional Confucianism.
At this time, Jie Ziyu hinted at the side: "Your Majesty, I think it is a pity that Mr. Gongyang's talents are idle in the field. The imperial court might as well hire Mr. Gongyang as a teacher in the national school..."
Zhao Run glanced at Jie Zizi and understood the deep meaning of the latter's words: A genius like Gongyang Gao must not be missed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Run personally helped Gongyang Gao up and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Gongyang, would you like to be an official in our Great Wei?"
"this……"
Although Gongyang Gao was moved by the recruitment of Corporal Li Xian by King Zhao Run of Wei, he still hesitated when he thought of serving as an official in Wei.
After all, his purpose of traveling all the way from Qi State to Wei State this time was, firstly, to witness the grand event of a hundred schools of thought contending, and secondly, to improve his "Gongyang Theory" and find out the deficiencies. If there was an opportunity to promote his
Thoughts, he would not miss it, but as an official in Wei State, he really had not considered it before.
After all, he is from Qi, so his first consideration for becoming an official is of course Qi. Only when Qi makes it clear that it does not support his doctrine, will he consider other countries.
However, he has not yet perfected his theoretical ideas, let alone recommended them to Qi State.
After thinking about it, Gongyang Gao said tactfully: "Can you let Gao think about it..."
Seeing Gongyang Gao's tactful refusal, Zhao Run was not angry. He used his eyes to stop Jie Ziyu who wanted to interrupt, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Gongyang, please think about it carefully." After that, he smiled slightly and added.
Said: "A gentleman like Mr. Gongyang,
He must be someone that all the countries in the world are willing to warmly invite. If your husband doesn’t want to stay in our great Wei Dynasty, I won’t force you... But I admire your husband’s words very much and hope to join the national school.
In the teaching materials, I wonder if sir allows it?"
"Allow, allow, no, no, no, as you wish!"
Gongyang Gao spoke excitedly and incoherently.
At this time, Zhao Run smiled faintly, nodded and said: "That's good, that's good. But..."
"but?"
Gongyang Gao was stunned.
Zhao Run frowned slightly and said: "No one in this world understands Sir's "Gongyang Theory" better than Mr.
But what should we do?... Sir, can you recommend one or two classmates, comrades?"
"Uh? This..."
Gongyang Gao suddenly became speechless.
But beside him, Jie Ziyu's eyes were full of smiles.
He felt that the young monarch in front of him was really becoming more and more powerful.
He nodded quickly and said with Zhao Run's frown: "That's right...Brother Gongyang Xian, the "Bu family" is really a different kind in our Confucian sect. In case other senior brothers misinterpret yours out of prejudice.
Gongyang said, what should we do? In Yudi's opinion, "Gongyang said" still needs your personal annotation and explanation to avoid making mistakes."
The monarch and his ministers said something to each other, which made Gongyang Gao worry about gain and loss, so he agreed to the matter in a daze.
It wasn't until after leaving the palace that he was blown by the cool breeze outside the palace. Gongyang Gao suddenly woke up. He smiled bitterly and said to Jie Zizi: "My dear brother, you have tricked me!"
As soon as Jie Zizi heard this, he knew that Gongyang Gao had seen through the strategy of their monarch and his ministers. He did not deny it and laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xian, I promise you a thousand pieces of gold!...Okay, brother Xian, don't take it either."
This is what it looks like. Looking at all the monarchs in the world, there are still people who can match it.
Is the monarch of our country wise? Today, brother Xian’s theory of Gongyang is more appreciated than that of the monarch of our country. In time, Gongyang theory will definitely become a prominent scholar in our country of Wei. Could it be that brother Xian wants to give up such a good opportunity and be willing to return to Qi to fight again?
Let’s try our luck and see if we can win the approval of King Qi?”
"this……"
Gongyang Gao inevitably hesitated after hearing this.
Thinking about it carefully, Jie Ziyu is indeed right: since King Zhao Run of Wei has given him the opportunity to display his ambition, why did he abandon the near and seek the far away and insist on returning to Qi to promote his own doctrine? Is it just because he is from Qi?
And the monarch who admired him was Wei Jun?
To put it this way, this close friend named Jie Ziyu is also from Chu.
Jie Ziu saw Gongyang Gao's wavering, grabbed the latter's wrist, and said while the iron was hot: "Brother Xian, brother Fool thinks that the top priority for you and me is to perfect Gongyang's theory... If we can't make it perfect, I, the Confucian sect, will
I'm afraid those senior brothers and sisters will also have some obstacles. In this way, Brother Xian will temporarily stay in Brother Yu's house, and Brother Yu will send someone to invite Xu Ruojuzi, and we will discuss it carefully."
Gongyang Gao thought for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and nodded.
So, that night, Jie Ziu, Gongyang Gao and Wei Mo Juzi Xu Ruo discussed the "Gongyang theory", hoping to perfect it as soon as possible so that this work could appear in the textbooks of the national schools.
While they were perfecting the Gongyang theory, in recent days, the selected schools of thought such as Legalists, Mohists, and Military strategists have also been summoned by King Zhao Run of Wei. Since then, they have been busy writing their respective thoughts and theories into chapters.
.
Two days later, when Du You, the Minister of Rites, personally presented the academic thoughts of his political advisor, he smiled and said to Wei King Zhao Run: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for achieving your wish and making all the heroes in the world among you."
While saying these words, Du You also carefully looked at the young monarch in front of him.
The former King Su, Zhao Run, was like an extremely ferocious and violent beast, which made all the monarchs in the world fear him.
However, after becoming the monarch of his Wei Kingdom, His Highness gradually restrained his minions and became more generous and magnanimous than before. This made Du You feel more and more that this young Majesty was really getting closer and closer to the late King Zhao Si.
Like the late king Zhao Si, he was a monarch who was very good at maneuvering.
Of course, Zhao Run couldn't have guessed the emotion and excitement in Du You's heart at this moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "I, Wei, should follow my own path, and by the way, let others have no way to go... If I didn't expect it,
If not, after a while, when Han Ran, Xiong Tuo and others learn about this, they will probably follow my example, Wei, but it's a pity... hahahaha."
"...It's a pity that the world's most talented people have already joined our ranks in the Wei Dynasty!"
Du You smiled and said nothing, completing the sentence in his heart for the monarch in front of him.
But when he thought of something, Du You spoke again as the Minister of Rites and said: "Your Majesty, I, the Wei Dynasty, took this opportunity to recruit talents from all over the world. This is certainly a good thing, but... how to arrange these talents? As Your Majesty,
As mentioned that day, the thirty "national schools" to be built are only for the enlightenment of young children..."
Indeed, when Zhao Run decided to build thirty national schools in the country, it was just to enlighten young people and to cultivate the next generation of talents in the Wei Kingdom. However, he did not expect that it unexpectedly attracted many talented people in the country and even from other countries.
The talented people made this event even more lively, and it seemed like a grand event where a hundred schools of thought contended.
But the question is, are the ideological theories of various schools really suitable for enlightening young children?
Zhao Run smiled when he heard this and said: "It doesn't matter, I have already considered this matter... I decided to build a school outside the city, um, right where all the families gather, and it will be called, um, Daliang Academy. Regardless of Confucianism,
The disciples, the disciples of the Legalist family, the descendants of the Mohist family, etc., are all gathered here, which not only facilitates their discussion with each other, but also allows this arrogance to continue..."
Du You's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Place all the children from various families who dislike each other in Daliang Academy?
Tsk tsk, this Daliang Academy cannot be quiet for a moment...
And this is not a bad thing.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Du You praised sincerely.
Zhao Run laughed, raised the booklet in his hand that recorded the academic thoughts of the strategist, and said with a smile: "Du Qing, even if you continue to praise me, I will not let go."
Du You shook his head and smiled bitterly: Just now he secretly praised his majesty for being more mature than before, but he immediately lost his integrity again.
At this moment, there was a report from the Imperial Guard outside the Manlu Palace: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Novelists, Zhou Chu, is already waiting for summons outside the palace gate."
"Well, please come in." Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded, then glanced at Du You.
Du You understood and said goodbye in a sensible manner, which did not affect Zhao Run's summoning of the next representative of hundreds of schools of thought.
However, deep down in his heart, he could not help but murmur: Novelist? Is such a low-level academic worthy of being summoned? Or does His Majesty really prefer those absurd stories?
But after much murmuring, Du You, who had been with Zhao Hongrun for nearly four years, had already become accustomed to His Majesty's character: no one can stop what His Majesty wants to do.
When heading to Chui Gong Hall, Du You met Zhou Chu, the representative figure of the novelist, on the way. He stopped for a moment to observe, and saw that Zhou Chu was wearing common people's common clothes, with a restrained look on his face that was almost frightening.
He shook his head slightly.
This is not to blame Du You. After all, in the contemporary world, disciples of many schools of thought looked down upon novelists, and even considered the latter unworthy of being called academics.
"Strange...Does Your Majesty really just prefer novelists' stories?"
Looking back, Du You couldn't help but become curious as he watched Zhou Chu, the representative figure of the novelist, walking towards the Manlu Hall led by a group of guards.
Because based on his understanding of King Zhao Run of Wei, the latter would never do anything useless, which simply corresponded to the saying: If there is no profit, you can't do it early.
It's just that the "profit" is the interest of the entire Wei State, not the interests of each individual.
After knowing this clearly, Du You inevitably became curious about Wei Wang Zhao Run's secret operation to list the novelist as "Bafu".
"Why don't you go and see what happens?"
Thinking of this, Du You stopped going to the Chui Gong Hall and turned around and walked back to the Ganlu Hall, wanting to see what the novelist could do to win the favor of Zhao Run, the king of Wei.
At this time, Zhou Chu, the representative figure of the novelist, had already arrived at Ganlu Hall.
Unlike the disciples of the Confucian, Legalist, Military, and Mohist sects, Zhou Chu never thought that one day he would be lucky enough to enter the palace of the Wei monarch. He felt both surprise and fear in his heart.
When he saw Zhao Run, the king of Wei, Zhou Chu prostrated on the ground and stammered: "Ye, barbarian Zhou Chu, pays homage to the king of Wei."
"Savage?" Zhao Run was amused.
Only then did Zhou Chu realize his speech error. He blushed and quickly corrected: "No, no, no, it's the people in the wild, the people in the wild..."
Zhao Run shook his head with a smile, raised his hand and said, "Get up."
Only then did Zhou Chu dare to stand up and stand with a bow. After holding it in for a long time, he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am a novelist... er... I am a novelist... I do not have academic knowledge that is beneficial to the country and the people.
,Well……"
At this moment, Zhou Chu felt terrified and ashamed.
Because the students from various schools who entered this palace before him all had their own academic ideas that were beneficial to the country and education. Even farmers and doctors were helpful to the country. Only he, a novelist, had no
In fact, he couldn't understand the achievements in this area. Why was his novelist selected for the "Bafu" list? Is it really because the King of Wei in front of him favored his novelist's stories and secretly favored them?
At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, when he was worrying about gains and losses, he saw Zhao Hongrun ordering the eunuch Gao He who was nearby: "Give me a seat, and give me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"Give me a seat?"
The eunuch Gao He was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but look at Zhou Chu who was standing in the hall with surprised eyes and seemed to be trembling.
You must know that none of the students from various schools who came to present the thoughts of their respective schools received the honor of being given a seat. Even Du You, the Minister of Rites, only stood and presented the academics of the political experts. However, this one
A novelist who is not an ordinary writer is lucky enough to have a seat in the Manna Hall. This is simply...unbelievable!
But since His Majesty had an order, Gao He naturally did not dare to disobey it, and immediately ordered the young eunuch to bring the case, mattress, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"sit."
Zhao Hongrun motioned for Zhou Chu to sit down.
Zhou Chu didn't dare to disobey him. While he was sitting upright, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.
But at this moment, he saw Zhao Run supporting himself on the desk in front of him with his hands and fingers crossed, looking at Zhou Chu and asking: "Are you from Wei?"
"Yes, yes, the Cao people's ancestral home is Changshe, but in recent years, in order to make a living, they have been living in Jujube..." Zhou Chu stammered.
Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then asked: "Have you heard of Sima An?"
"Sima An?" Zhou Chu was stunned, not understanding why the monarch of Wei State in front of him said Sima An's name when summoning him.
He thought for a while and said: "Hexi Shou, Sima An, General Sima? Common people have heard of it."
"Very good." Zhao Run nodded and said with a smile: "When I led the army to conquer Sanchuan County, Sima An served as my deputy general. Have you ever heard that he used five hundred sheep to instigate Wu Xu?
Tens of thousands of slaves from the tribe, and then destroyed the entire Wusu Royal Court?"
"The grassroots have heard of it."
Zhou Chu nodded and said.
You know, "Sima An's five hundred sheep destroyed Wu Xu", this is an allusion that the Wei Dynasty talks about, and Sima An's reputation has greatly increased.
"Then you can make up an interesting story for me based on General Sima An's five hundred sheep." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.
"Making up a story?"
Zhou Chu's eyes lit up, this was his specialty.
"As you command!"
He cupped his hands, Zhou Chu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote quickly on the paper. The speed of writing was like a spring of thoughts. Even Zhao Run was amazed by it and couldn't help but stand up.
Come on, walk behind Zhou Chu and take a look.
As he had guessed, although Zhou Chu was not a good novelist, he was not unlucky. The Sima An in his writing looked like a "hero of the country (defending, not the country of Wei)."
, where is the impression of being a butcher? And the Wuxu people who were massacred by Sima An, in the writings of early Zhou Dynasty, became vicious enemies who were always hostile to Wei.
"Very good! Very good!"
After looking at it for a moment, Zhao Hongrun clapped his hands in admiration.
Among the twelve academic disciplines of "Four Masters and Eight Assistants", perhaps the one he is most satisfied with at the moment is this novelist.
At this time, Du You, the Minister of Rites, stood outside the window of Ganlu Hall and witnessed the whole process, and he suddenly understood.
He had to admire the young monarch's quick thinking and his ability to use the novelist in this way.
"Your Majesty's wisdom is beyond my level!"
Du You said with sincere emotion.
At the same time, when the Wei State became very lively due to the contention of a hundred schools of thought, this news was also sent to Jicheng, the new capital of South Korea, and to the ears of Han Wangran.
After hearing the news, Han Wangran, who was handling government affairs, was shocked and dropped the brush in his hand.
"Not good! All the heroes in the world have joined Wei!"
