The court debate is not the purpose, and it doesn't even matter whether there is a court debate or not. What the court really needs to determine is the scientific examination of this subject.
The nonsense is over, and the result is useless.
This is not just the feeling of Zhao Xi, but also the feeling of the entire dynasty.
There is no winner or lose, no official studies are confirmed, it is already close to the start of the course, only more than a month away, and the candidates are getting more and more confused.
Candidates from various state capitals have already gathered in Bianliang, but the imperial court has not even decided on the direction of the questions.
At this time, Bianliang was obviously different from previous years before the start of the semester. There were no banquets, no gatherings of poems and songs, but there were various speculations.
One thing is certain, poetry and poetry will definitely not be the focus, and the propositional model of Ouyang Xianggong in the Jiayou Year will definitely be followed.
As for which school of thought to use, that is a matter of opinion.
At this time, the two words mentioned most often by scholars were probably cakes and cakes.
The official theory of cooking cakes was widely spread among the scholars... Although it was ridiculous, it was a major matter related to fate, and no one dared to ignore it.
Some people say that Zhang Zai’s Guan studies will be the main focus, because when officials elaborate on their views, they discuss Guan studies the most.
Some people say that they will use the Neo-Confucianism of Zhou Dunyi and Er Cheng. After all, Neo-Confucianism regulates the human relations between monarch and minister, father and son, etc. This is a theory tailor-made for the orthodoxy of royal rule... This cannot be discussed publicly.
Others must be from the New School. Wang Jiefu's reputation and status, coupled with his strong entry into the central government, and his advocacy of practical application of the world, meant that when the country was recruiting people, the imperial court was bound to choose the New School.
Of course, they also focused on Sima Xianggong's sincerity. When selecting people, the court valued talent more than virtue, and virtue was the root of talent.
What's more, since ancient times, virtue has been required more than talent.
Which school of thought should prevail? This still has to be discussed by the court.
The debate in Zhengshitang was more intense than that in Shilin.
I don’t want to elaborate on the content of the quarrel during the meeting, it’s annoying!
Zhao Xi really didn't expect that both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were really good at debating scriptures. They were addicted to debating scriptures. They didn't argue enough for three days in court. They continued to argue during the meeting, talking endlessly and getting more and more.
Far.
Didn’t you say that these two brothers have a good relationship?
From Wang Anshi's point of view, he had tested the official family when he was still young. From the various actions of the official family over the years, he could also see that the official family was unwilling to be lonely and would never follow the old ways.
done.
As for his New Learning, to put it bluntly, it was created specifically for the imperial court to select candidates. It was a purely pragmatic doctrine. Officials should determine the status of the New Learning as an official school during court debates.
The reason why the officials failed to make a final decision during the court debate was because Sima Junshi was still stirring up trouble at the end of the court debate.
As for Er Cheng, even though the theory was very complete and hit the royal family's point, Wang Anshi really didn't care.
That is a theory for educating the common people, and it is not applicable to the selection of talents for the imperial court. The key is that the official influence of Ercheng is far behind the influence of scholars. Officials will not fail to consider these.
It was precisely because the officials considered this to prevent Shilin from being laughed at by Mr. Shilin during the court debate that the officials stopped the court debate... because Sima Junshi never backed down.
What about Sima Guang? You can say he is simple, or you can say he is stubborn.
With one thought, be a good person before doing things, choose talents before choosing virtues, one word of sincerity can cope with all changes, just don't let go.
Countless people in all dynasties and dynasties have been ruined by treacherous ministers. But this is what Sima Guang is good at.
Therefore, the debate between them moved from the court debate to the group discussion, and it seemed that Zhao Xi's opinion was not asked at all. As soon as Han Qi mentioned how to decide on the topic of this scientific examination, they started to argue.
Wang Anshi started with the current situation of the country and talked about the importance of being practical. Sima Guang took the change of dynasties as the core and commented on the necessity of selecting talents with sincerity.
"Should the two prime ministers set up a debate platform again? Let's hold a discussion after the two prime ministers come up with a reason? Or should we cancel Jinke directly to make way for the two prime ministers' debate on justice?"
Zhao Xi is really annoyed! Han Qi convened a meeting. It started at Mao o'clock, and it was already noon again, and it was not over yet.
"Officials, I kindly ask you to discuss it again!"
Han Qi cooperated with Zhao Xi's boredom. After saying this, seeing Zhao Xi nodding with a sullen face, he left the Chui Gong Hall.
Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi followed closely behind, and even Ouyang Xiu shook his head at Wang Anshi and Sima Guang and turned away.
"Guan family, the course is about to start, we can't delay it any longer."
"Officials and scholars gathered in Bianliang, eagerly waiting for the imperial court to formulate the subjects for opening the school. If the imperial court is delaying, it will be dishonest and breach of trust."
Damn it! Sima Guang opened this stall and still didn’t forget his sincerity.
Maybe it was because of my tone of voice, or maybe it was the impression my father had made on them in the past. People didn't pay attention to my sharp words in a calm tone.
"You two also know that the course is about to start? Then let me ask you two, who of you can convince whom? How long will it take? Three days and five days or ten days and eight days?"
"The meeting has not determined which school of thought will be the main theory. Why are you debating scriptures again? Are you trying to convince me? But do you know what I think?"
"Don't do this again. Let's go back first. When the political hall feels that it can be discussed, we will discuss the opening of the subject."
Zhao Xi waved his hand... This was really annoying. Zhao Xi had always been very peaceful and would not provoke these husbands. He would rather dig holes behind his back and rarely show impatience frontally.
Of course, this time I dug a hole behind my back.
I'm sorry, it's just a by-passing. It's really a by-passing.
"Where are Su Song and Shen Kuo?"
As soon as these two stubborn people were sent away, Zhao Xi asked Wang Zhongzheng.
He thought that the time for the meeting was very short. He already had an idea and just needed to communicate with the political hall.
With the court defense as a foreshadowing, he felt that his idea should be easily passed. Unexpectedly, he was disturbed by these two idiots, and he kept working until noon and still had not made a decision.
"Go back to the official's house and wait in the side hall."
"Let the imperial dining room prepare it, and let them eat together."
This is a privilege, Zhao Xi doesn't think so, but in this era, it is indeed a privilege to accompany the emperor to eat.
Su Song didn't care, but Shen Kuo was bragging.
He is not yet a Song Dynasty scientist who will be respected by later generations, but is just an official in his tenth year. With his qualifications, if he can get into the eyes of officials, it means that his future prospects are limitless.
"Zirong, look at this..."
Zhao Xi really didn't pay that much attention to Su Song.
After eating, he asked Wang Zhongzheng to collect and polish the poli... then he was called this name.
Zhao Xi was ready to explain it carefully to Wang Zhongzheng at first, but he actually knew that this is how Poli glass came to be, and that there was a Poli country.
The polished poli looks like a magnifying glass.
"You use this to look at various things, and you can look for more Poles in the future. Just use this method and zoom in as much as possible... I want to say that maybe Zhang Zihou's imaginary theory is true!"
Guide! Zhao Xi can't do those shameless things, but he has Su Song and Shen Kuo.
"Guardian, I have something to report. When the cement workshop was firing clinker, something similar to Polly appeared, and I kept it all...~"
This... Zhao Xi didn't know how to describe his feelings after hearing Su Song's words.
The industrial system has never existed independently. Once you have a seed, you really can't be sure what it will grow into.
