Su Yun, Ye Luo and Bai Yuelou are all scholars of the Tiandao Academy. Among them, Bai Yuelou played a meritorious role in the Shuobei turmoil and was rewarded by the emperor to become a scholar of the Tiandao Academy. He did not directly enter the Tiandao Academy.
Therefore, Su Yun became the doctor of Tiandao Academy, and Ye Luo also became the teacher doctor of Tiandao Academy. He is a teacher in Tiandao Academy, holds an official position, and represents Tiandao Academy.
When the three of them came to the place where old and new learning were debating, they couldn't help but attract attention.
Tiandaoyuan was established relatively late. It was a school established during the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Yuan reformed education and promoted official education. At that time, the highest school in Yuanshuo was Taiyuan. However, Emperor Yuan believed that although Taiyuan's scholarship was excellent, it was not comparable to other schools.
Compared to, not much more than that.
He wants to build a place to study the knowledge of saints, a place to inherit the unique knowledge of the old saints, and a place where saints can be born!
Therefore, Emperor Yuan selected the scholars with the best qualifications and understanding in the world to form the Tiandao Academy.
In this great debate about new learning and old learning, even the second-ranked Taiyuan College has scholars participating in the battle. The new students who come to challenge are the scholars sent by Taiyuan College to destroy the Tiandao Academy. Their cultivation strength is naturally outstanding, which is not trivial.
.
When Su Yun and the other three came, people's eyes were everywhere, with expectations, doubts, contempt, and uneasiness.
Su Yun had always been blind, turning a blind eye, and walked directly to the most intense point of this debate.
Ye Luo reported to him the news he had discovered during this period, and whispered: "The situation in the Eastern Capital this time is extremely strange. The debate between the new and the old has resulted in the death and injury of sixty or seventy scholars. These scholars are extraordinary.
In addition to the official academies from various places, there are also scholars from the Taiyuan Academy, many of whom came to take the Tiandao Academy exams, and they died like this without alarming Zhijinwu!"
Su Yun's heart moved slightly. The Northern Army that Zhi Jinwu controlled in the Eastern Capital was nominally under the control of Qiu Shuijing, but in fact it had great power. It was a person with real power who had military power!
Zhijinwu didn't intervene, which was indeed very strange.
"Zhi Jinwu of the Eastern Capital sat down to watch this debate, and Mr. Shui Jing actually did not order Zhi Jinwu to intervene. Xue Shengren did not ask at all, and so did Prime Minister Wen. The strange thing is that this time Prime Minister Wen's son Wen Yanfeng was also dispatched. He supported
new learning.”
Mr. Ye Luo continued: "In addition, I also found out that this dispute between new and old learning is related to the internal fighting of the royal family. This time, Prince Yuan Wuji returned from overseas. Behind him, there are some members of the royal family.
People were sitting in charge, so Di Ping did not interfere with the matter, but just watched with cold eyes."
He hesitated for a moment and said: "If the emperor does not move, it will be over. If he moves, blood will flow into a river. I am afraid that Dongdu will be a hundred times more dangerous than Shuofang before the turmoil!"
Su Yun's heart moved slightly.
The Three Dukes, namely the Prime Minister, the Taiwei and the Yushi, are extremely powerful. Each of them has civil and military officials like a small court under his command. They represent the three largest forces in the Eastern Capital besides the emperor!
The overt and covert struggles between Prime Minister Wen Guanshan, Taiwei Xue Qingfu, and Yushi Qiu Shuijing are probably related to the dispute between old and new learning.
The battle between the imperial family and Diping is probably also related to this new and old learning.
"This time, all the officials under Prime Minister Wen, including Si Zhi, Chang Shi, Zheng Shi, Shao Shi, Cao Tu, Yi Cao, Fa Cao, etc. are all senior officials from big families, and they all sent their children to join Wen Yanfeng."
Mr. Ye Luo hesitated and said: "Senior Brother, you also know that I have always picked up leaks and my vision is very accurate, but it is really difficult to pick up this leak now. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces! You must not take action."
Su Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, my first thought when I entered Dongdu was to keep a low profile. Dongdu is better than Shuofang. In Shuofang, I still have the title of envoy, but in Dongdu, don't say
Your Majesty, even the name of the Master of Tongtian Pavilion is useless."
Mr. Ye Luo felt relieved and said with a smile, "It's good that senior brother understands."
Bai Yuelou was also very nervous and murmured: "I am a disciple of the saint. I think I should not participate in this matter to avoid suspicion..."
Su Yun stopped him and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Bai, don't worry, we are from Tiandao Academy. No matter whether it is the new school or the old school, whether it is Prime Minister Wen or Xue Saint Qiu Yushi, we will not take sides."
Bai Yuelou said alertly: "Is this true?"
"really."
As they spoke, the three of them passed through the crowds, and saw that this forum for the debate on new and old learning was not a whole, but scholars who had refined the art of architecture, using bridges, houses, tiles, monuments, towers, and buildings.
Waiting for the spiritual soldiers is divided into more than ten areas for debate.
In these debate places, there were many scholars debating the law and asking for advice on the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional old sage learning and the new learning, and they often started to take action while talking.
Su Yun and the other three passed by a place of debate and saw a high platform connected by a hibiscus tree. The hibiscus tree was as tall as a spear, twenty-four to five feet high. At the top, a cloud-like branch and leaf grew sideways.
A chessboard is supported on the branches and leaves, with a radius of several acres.
Many scholars stood on the leaves of the hibiscus tree, watching the battle between two people on the chessboard.
The same is often true for other forums. These forums are very high-level and often connected by cloud bridges.
The two people on the chessboard caught Su Yun's attention and couldn't help but stop and watch.
I saw that one of the scholars was a woman, and she used strange magical powers, as if she could control vegetation. With a flick of her hand, vines grew wildly, chasing the scholar who was fighting her in the air.
"A descendant of the Shennong family."
Su Yun's eyes flashed. Chi Xiaoyao had seen this kind of magical power when he was in Shuofang Lightning Strike Valley, and he had also mentioned the Shennong clan to him.
The magical powers of the Shennong lineage are mainly agricultural and medical, so Chi Xiaoyao is very concerned about them.
It's just that the Shennong family is extremely ancient, and even in Taiyuan College there are only a handful of people studying this lineage, so it is no longer considered a prominent school.
"Since there are very few scholars from the Shennong clan, is this woman the girl who appeared in Thunderstrike Valley that day?"
The light in Su Yun's eyes faded: "If so, then it is extremely suspicious that this woman first appeared in Shuofang and now in Dongdu."
"Junior brother Ye Luo, in half an hour, I want all the information about this girl!" Su Yun said sideways.
Mr. Ye Luo quickly wrote it down and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to Tiandaoyuan and ask Qiurong to help me investigate."
Su Yun nodded and walked forward. In front of him was the most grand place of this debate, the Jade Emperor's visit to Beijing!
The picture of the Jade Emperor's visit to Beijing is the spiritual soldier of the Yuan clan of the royal family. When Lou Ban built the Eastern Capital, Emperor Ai invited the best painters to paint the newly built Eastern Capital. It is a treasure of the royal family.
Although this picture of the Jade Emperor's Ascension to Beijing is not the Great Holy Spirit Soldier, it is the result of the joint efforts of countless painters. It is said that if this treasure is spread out, a new Eastern Capital can be built in the sky!
This time, the royal family took out the Jade Emperor's Visit to Beijing as the largest altar for this debate.
The picture scroll of the Jade Emperor's Visit to Beijing was spread out from the air to the ground. On the ground there was still paper with a thick scroll, but in the air it was a magnificent metropolis with jade towers and white clouds. There was no picture at all.
border!
It was like another Eastern Capital appeared in front of them!
It's just that this building is much smaller, and the buildings appear to be very compact. However, Yuhuang Mountain was hidden and did not appear.
It would take a lot of mana to activate this spiritual weapon, so the Jade Emperor's Ascension to Beijing only shows the lowest city in the Eastern Capital.
But even so, it's still amazing.
At this time, the Eastern Capital City in the painting is like a huge platform, with cloud bridges extending from outside the painting, actually penetrating into the world in the painting, and connecting to the Eastern Capital City in the painting.
Painting and reality are strangely combined.
In the painting, clouds and bridges intersect over the capital city of the Middle East. Scholars, dignitaries and even the people stand on the bridge one after another. They are clearly separated and obviously have their own thoughts. They are looking at Su Yun, Ye Luo and Bai Yuelou.
"Su Jijiu, Taichang Qiu didn't come. Since you are Jijiu, you are also a head of Tiandao Academy. So, does Tiandao Academy support the new learning or the old learning?" A man who looked like an official asked loudly.
Mr. Ye Luo became nervous and lowered his voice: "Elder brother, pick up the leaks."
Su Yun nodded: "Junior brother, don't worry, I know that the Eastern Capital is unfathomable, and if you say something wrong, you may be shattered to pieces."
Mr. Ye Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yun looked around and saw thousands of people, scholars and officials in the capital of the Middle East, all looking at him.
Su Yun opened his mouth and said: "The old learning is the classics of all saints, and it has the virtue of benefiting all living beings. Our Tiandao Academy started by studying the old learning."
The faces of those who supported the old sage learning gradually showed joy, and some people cheered: "Tiandaoyuan supports the old learning!"
Mr. Ye Luo gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to remind: "Elder brother, don't take sides!"
"But the old holy teachings are outdated."
Su Yun changed the topic and said: "The new learning originated from overseas. It is advancing bravely and striving for excellence. It cannot study the old sanctuaries and explore the places where the old saints cannot explore. The new learning is not only about magical powers, changes and application of learning,
They are all stronger than the old sage’s unique skills.”
The cheers stopped abruptly, and the expressions on the faces of those who supported the old learning turned into shame and anger. Some people gritted their teeth and said sternly: "Tiandao Academy is the place where the old sage's secret learning is studied, but he became a traitor!"
Su Yun changed the topic again and said loudly: "However, the new learning has been developing for so long, but it still has not been able to break out of the scope of the old saints' classics. Although it has made some achievements, it is still in the shadow of the old saints and has not been able to find a new path.
.”
Mr. Ye Luo's mind roared: "I'm asking you not to take sides. I'm not asking you to offend both sides... However, it's okay to be a fence-sitter. Although being a fence-sitter is embarrassing, it's better than being beaten..."
"so."
Su Yun looked around and said with a smile: "No matter the old learning or the new learning, whether you are learning the old learning or you are learning the new learning, in the eyes of our Tiandao Academy, they are all a pile of rubbish and vulnerable."
"Elder brother, you are not a wall-sitter!"
Mr. Ye Luo's face turned pale: "It's over..."
Su Yun's voice became clearer and louder, spreading throughout the Middle Eastern capital and to the various debate sites outside: "We brothers are here to prove this to you. You are all idiots and vulnerable to a blow."
