Chapter 219 The Debate Between Old and New Schools
The next day, Cang Jiuhua left the Eastern Capital, and Su Yun went to see him off, but most of Da Qin's envoys stayed behind, and Cang Jiuhua left with only a few people.
Su Yun and Cang Jiuhua rode the argali chariot together and sent him to the inn. When passing by the second floor of Dongdu, they saw the streets on the second floor of Dongdu crowded with people. There was a high platform in front of him, and there were people on the high platform.
He shouted: "In Jingnan Tower, I am a scholar who has returned from studying in the Qin Dynasty! Today I am meeting friends with martial arts, and I am asking for advice on my magical powers from the scholars in the Eastern Capital who are practicing the old sage's secret art!"
Su Yun's eyes fell on Jing Nanlou, and then looked at Cang Jiuhua.
Cang Jiuhua smiled and said: "Yuan Shuo sends many scholars to study abroad every year."
Su Yun nodded lightly and said, "So Jingnan Tower has nothing to do with Brother Cang?"
Cang Jiuhua smiled slightly and did not comment.
Su Yun stopped questioning and sent him to Dongdu Station, saying: "Brother Cang, I'm sorry that I couldn't fight you."
Cang Jiuhua's eyes flashed, he stopped, and turned around and said: "Brother Su, the battle between you and me has already begun. From the moment I set foot on the land of Dongdu, I have already started to lay out my plans. Before I left Dongdu, I
The pattern has been laid out, now it's your turn to take advantage of it."
Su Yun was startled, thinking about the meaning of his words. Cang Jiuhua boarded the Zhulong Chariot and said with a smile: "Master Su Pavilion, see you in Jiang Pavilion!"
He sat by the window of the Zhulong chariot, stretched out his fingers, and drew a pattern of a square wooden box on the glass window.
Su Yun was shocked: "He is from Tongten Pavilion overseas!"
The candle dragon chariot set off.
"Overseas Tongten Pavilion is the overseas branch of Tongten Pavilion, but it has grown in recent years and is ready to set up its own branch and choose another Tongten Pavilion leader. This is definitely not a good thing! Overseas Tongten Pavilion may be used to deal with Yuanshuo!"
Su Yun exhaled a breath of turbid air and returned the same way. When he passed by the second floor of Dongdu, he saw the scholar named Jingnanlou fighting against several scholars who were practicing the old sage's secret art.
The scholars were defeated.
It's more lively here.
"What kind of game is Cang Jiuhua's game?"
The day after Cang Jiuhua left, Emperor Ping issued an edict, ordering Su Yun, Ye Luo, and Bai Yuelou to enter the palace to be rewarded. He named Su Yun a doctor of Tiandaoyuan and offered wine to him. He also named Su Yun the Shaoshi of the Supervisory Foreign Affairs Department. In May
Take office.
Su Yun knew that Qiu Shuijing was trying to protect him, so he asked Di Ping to make him the Shaoshi of the Supervisory Foreign Affairs Bureau, so he did not refuse.
The emperor Ping granted Ye Luo the title of Dr. Xi of Tiandao Academy, and also granted Ye Luo the title of Shuofang Bingcao.
Bai Yuelou was made a scholar of Tiandao, and was rewarded with thousands of gold coins in recognition of Bai Yuelou's righteous deeds during the chaos in Shuobei.
After Bai Yuelou received the thousand gold reward, he immediately paid back the money and finally settled the money he owed Su Yun.
On the third day after Cang Jiuhua left, the arena for debate over old and new learning set up in Jingnan Building caused quite a stir, which reached the ears of Su Yun and others living on the fifth floor.
There is news that this scholar named Jing Nanlou returned to Yuanshuo with Cang Jiuhua's envoy. As soon as Cang Jiuhua left, he started a debate on old learning and new learning, with ulterior motives.
This debate was originally just a small fight. It was nothing more than the new scholars saying that the old learning was completely useless, and that the old sage teachings should be completely abolished and the new learning overseas should be fully promoted. On the other hand, the scholars who practiced the old sage teachings said that the new learning was completely useless.
Learning to deviate from the traditional ways is to pursue eccentric skills and only pursue a strong external appearance while neglecting the internal one.
At the beginning of the debate, the two sides were relatively calm, but later on when they started arguing, they couldn't help but get physical, and when they started fighting, they couldn't help but get a little angry, and they became disabled.
It is said that six or seven people have died in the debate between the new learning and the old learning.
However, Su Yun was busy preparing for the big exam of Tiandao Academy, not to mention that those who fought with Jingnan Tower were usually die-hards from the old school, so he ignored it.
In this major examination of the Tiandao Academy, as the newly promoted doctor of the Tiandao Academy, he had to personally assess the scholars.
However, Su Yun originally became a monk on the way and borrowed a piece of Tiandao Order to sneak into Tiandao Academy. His foundation is still worse than that of Tiandao academicians. He has not gone out in the past few days and is studying hard with Yingying to make up for his own shortcomings.
The debate over new and old learning was originally a moderate matter. There was such a debate in Dongdu every year, and the two sides fought back and forth. However, by the seventh day, the debate had become somewhat out of control.
On the seventh day after Cang Jiuhua left, the dispute between old and new learning intensified.
On the second floor of the Eastern Capital, Jinwu, the leader of the Eastern Capital, had ordered a space to be cleared for debate.
In the past few days, scholars from various universities in Dongdu have participated in this debate. Even Taoist priests from Qingxu Temple in Dongdu and monks from Leiyin Pavilion have participated!
Qingxuguan and Leiyin Pavilion participated in the debate, which also pushed the reputation of the debate to one peak after another.
Taoism and Buddhism are prominent schools, their status in Yuanshuo is second only to Confucianism, and they are representatives of the old sage's secrets. Qingxu Guan and Leiyin Pavilion are the highest holy places of these two secrets.
The participation of two famous successors in the war was naturally very eye-catching.
"Six or seven Taoist priests from Qingxu Temple and monks from Leiyin Pavilion died."
Li Muge returned from the second floor of the Eastern Capital, lost his mind, and said to Su Yun: "Jingnan Tower has the support of foreign envoys, and it is not only the people of Yuanshuo who will end up, but also people from foreign countries, not only the scholars of the Qin Dynasty.
There are other foreign scholars too! Those Taoist priests and monks were very prolific in their magic, but they died within a few moves after they came to power."
Su Yun's heart was slightly shaken: "Although Cang Jiuhua has left, the poison is still there. After he left, all kinds of back-up tactics were launched. This first wave of moves was to destroy the old sage's secrets and make the people of Yuanshuo suspicious and even
He despises the knowledge of the old sage and wants to exterminate Yuan Shuo culturally! Cang Jiuhua's move is amazing!"
"The new learning is really amazing. I would probably lose even if I went up there."
Li Muge was sad and couldn't help but said: "Brother Su, are you going? If you go, you will definitely be able to suppress those new masters!"
Su Yun walked around and stopped: "I was taught by Mr. Yehu, and I have learned the Old Saint's Secret Art since I was a child. I know the benefits of the Old Saint's Secret Art, which gave me a solid foundation. But I don't learn from the old.
The new one is just standing on its own laurels. The old sage's unique teachings already have many shortcomings. If I can overcome..."
He was even a little worried about winning.
If he went to participate in the debate between the old and the new and wiped out the scholars of the new school such as Jingnanlou, it would definitely be a great encouragement to the old school.
But it is definitely not a good thing for the old learning to flourish again and make Yuanshuo scholars blindly confident!
Cang Jiuhua's move made it impossible for him to take action!
At this time, a Taoist came from outside, brought an invitation, and bowed: "Is this Su Shizi? The Taoist sage invites Su Shizi to go to Qingxu Temple to have a talk."
"Brother, please go back and tell Taoist Saint that I won't go." Su Yun threw the invitation aside.
The Taoist was shocked.
Suddenly, another monk came outside, took out the invitation, and said: "Master Su, the Holy Buddha invites Master Su to go to Leiyin Pavilion for a short talk."
Su Yun accepted the invitation and threw it aside: "Brother, please go back and tell the Holy Buddha that I am in retreat."
It was the eighth day after Cang Jiuhua left Dongdu.
The Tiandao Academy exam is coming soon, and schools and academies across Yuanshuo often send outstanding scholars to Beijing to prepare for the Tiandao Academy exam. When these talented scholars arrive in the Eastern Capital, how can they sit idly by when they see the debate between old and new learning in the Eastern Capital?
ignore?
The great debate over old and new learning has reached the point where the entire Dongdu and even Yuanshuo are paying attention!
Moreover, the scholars here also include scholars from the Imperial Academy in the Western Capital!
Taiyue College in the Western Capital is known as the second academic palace in the world. Before the establishment of Tiandaoyuan, Taiyue College ranked first and superior, and the scholars of Taiyuan College were even more outstanding!
For many years after the establishment of Tiandao Academy, Taiyuan University still maintained its reputation as the best academy in the world, and it was not until later that it was taken away by Tiandao Academy.
This time, many scholars from Taiyuan College came from the Western Capital and entered the Eastern Capital, not to take the Tiandao Academy examination, but to make friends with the Tiandao Academy through martial arts.
Every time there is a major exam for the Tiandaoyuan, it is customary for the Taiyuan Academy to come to cause trouble, and people in the Eastern Capital are accustomed to this.
Only this time, the scholars from Taiyuan College who came to cause trouble were also attracted by this old and new debate, and the dispute between new and old learning was immediately pushed to a climax!
The scholars of Taiyuan are all talented people, and among them there are various secret schools of the old saints. Although they are not prominent schools, they are not trivial, such as Shennong, Yin and Yang, Bing, Zhen, and medicine schools.
"More than forty scholars have died in this debate."
Bai Yuelou brought the news and said to Su Yun: "The scholars from Taipei Academy also participated in this debate. They lost more than they won and were beaten badly. And..."
He hesitated and said: "Prince Yuan Wuji, represents Xinxue in the battle."
Su Yun raised his eyebrows.
Bai Yuelou said: "This time Prince Yuan Wuji represents the new school to challenge the Tiandao Academy."
Su Yun understood clearly: "Cang Jiuhua's second move is aimed directly at the throne. Challenging Tiandao Academy seems to be a battle between old and new learning, but in fact it is a challenge to Di Ping. Di Ping cannot challenge..."
At this time, I heard Taoist Saint's laughter coming from outside: "Pavilion Master Su is really hard to find."
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat when suddenly, a Buddha's call came: "Since Pavilion Master Su doesn't want to go to Leiyin Pavilion, the old monk has no choice but to come and visit in person."
Su Yun laughed loudly, stood up, and went out to greet him, saying: "I am flattered that the Taoist Saint and the Holy Buddha come hand in hand. Junior Brother, bring two horses here so that the Taoist Saint and the Holy Buddha can have a place to stay.
.”
Bai Yuelou was stunned: "Let Taoist saints and holy Buddhas sit on horses?"
However, there was really no place for Su Yun to sit here, so Bai Yuelou had to move three horses to the yard. Su Yun set up the horses, asked the Taoist Saint and the Holy Buddha to sit down, and he also sat down and said: "Junior brother, please come again
Make tea for the holy Buddha and Taoist saints."
Bai Yuelou rummaged around, found three porcelain bowls, and made tea.
After a while, Taoist saints and holy Buddhas each held tea bowls and tried to find a place to put them down, but they couldn't find them.
Su Yun took a sip from the tea bowl and said apologetically: "I went to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, but I had no place to stay in Dongdu, so I had to live in Xianliangyuan. There is no place to entertain you two..."
The Taoist Saint and the Holy Buddha had no choice but to drink tea from the bowls. The Holy Buddha drank the tea in one gulp, along with the tea leaves. He put down the tea bowl and said: "Pavilion Master Su should know our purpose. There is a devil living in you, Old Buddha."
We can help Pavilion Master Su resolve it, but Pavilion Master Su must also help the Old Saint Secret Art overcome the current difficulties."
Su Yun laughed and said: "Is there a devil living in my body? Saint Buddha, you must be joking... eh?"
The Holy Buddha pointed out a finger, and Su Yun's spiritual world suddenly emerged. A long forked tongue swung out from a huge crack. The tongue full of saliva licked the two-foot-long Holy Buddha in front of Su Yun from bottom to top.
Read it again!
Su Yun's hair stood on end.
With a kind smile on his face, Taoist Saint reminded him: "There are ninety-six of them living in the main body of the pavilion."
