New Shun 1730

The essential contradiction between the Wude Palace and the Imperial College is that there is another path besides the imperial examination, which accounts for the quota of officials.

However, a villain is a metaphor for profit, and a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness.

Since he is the son of the country, he naturally talks about justice rather than profit.

Fights broke out between the two sides from time to time. Generally, the Imperial College Supervisor had the righteous intention of "Wude Palace should read less scriptures and oppose the learning of barbarians and Di. If Western knowledge can stabilize the country, what use will we have?"

Nowadays, the Northern Confucian school's "separate education and practical examination" is just a wish. The court has no money and dare not use the imperial examination system for fear of causing unrest.

After all, it is just a slogan. In fact, there are not many people who practice practical learning, just more than in the late Ming Dynasty. There are also a few figures like Fang Yizhi and Xu Guangqi, but most of them are baptized believers.

Liu Yu was holding back his anger today, and in order to avoid trouble in the future, now that everyone is here, he started to fight more and more harshly.

This is called hitting with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming.

We have to let these inexperienced supervisors understand.

Either play the big game and kill me, the son of a duke, the captain of a light carriage, and the honorary guard in front of the palace; or, from now on, just be honest and walk around when you see me, and don't cause trouble.

Although the attack was ruthless, in my heart I actually had some respect for the supervisor who just spoke. Just talking about this character is enough.

In the face of major changes unseen in two thousand years, the country is about to fall from the dynasty of heaven to the princes of other countries. Such a psychological gap is not so easy to accept in any case.

Based on the current mainstream values, what the supervisor just said is right: the world is under heaven, not even the dynasty, so what is the world? What is this if not the world of death?

Liu Yu understood clearly in his heart that the status of this dynasty was achieved through hard work and hard work, not by just closing the door and dreaming on your own.

It's just that he made up his mind not to debate scriptures with these people for the time being, and just regarded himself as a barbarian.

Dozens of Wude Palace students sacrificed their lives to beat up a similar number of Imperial College students, giving them a huge advantage. Just when the situation was about to get out of control, there was a sound of gongs, and a large group of Boy Army soldiers came huffing and puffing in the distance.

Li Jiusi, the Duke of E, came on horseback. The fight between the students from the Imperial College and the students from the Wude Palace was not something that the local officials could deal with.

As soon as the gong sounded, the people who were beaten on both sides retreated. Just use the highway as the boundary and stand well with each other.

"Nonsense! How dignified are you?"

Li Jiusi shouted angrily. When he saw Liu Yu standing in front of the rioting crowd, both families were nobles. At this time, he became even more angry and cursed: "Those who are not doing their jobs! Why did they start fighting? What's going on? "

Liu Yu didn't say anything, and Mantou stood up from behind, kneeling and said: "Report to the Duke, those people beat me for no reason. When I fought back, they said I was a slave and dared to beat a living member."

Mantou was awarded the title on the northern battlefield. Li Jiusi was also present that day. He remembered this guy who had "low ambitions and just wanted to marry a good girl", and thought that this man was quite smart. Since he said so, this matter would be easy to handle. .

"Who beat him? This person has a distinguished rank. My military general is not the former Qiu Ba. You are so brave!"

First, let's prove the crime. Li Jiusi thought to himself, this kind of thing should be done to one of his own people. Since it is justified, of course he must be brave.

Chen Zhen, who was beaten and vomited blood, crawled out, knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord! We are so indignant that Liu Yu humiliated the country, brought the humiliation of Song and Liao to the country, and further deceived the Holy One. We really don't know what happened to the emperor." People have merit."

After saying that, he cried again: "We really can't figure it out. Why do we, the Celestial Kingdom, have to have friends with the Yi and Di people? The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty congratulated each other, which led to the follow-up events of the Jin and Mongolia. The king did not rule the Yi and Di people. Don't refuse, don't pursue those who are far away. Since we have expanded our land, why not divide it into foreign countries and form a celestial dynasty? Why do we have to deal with the Rakshasa country? Is that so? I want to give him a gift of money and congratulate him on his throne?”

When he cried like this, everyone on the other side of the Imperial Academy knelt down and shouted: "I can't figure it out! Why do we have to interact with the Rakshasa Kingdom? After the land was expanded, we divided it into foreign vassals and separated them from each other. We can't communicate with them. Yes! Why would you want to lose face in the world? "

Although Li Jiusi has also read books, he can't argue with these people no matter what. How can he explain what Tianxia is?

He thought to himself that Emperor Taizong might be able to understand this truth, but it was a pity that Emperor Taizong died early. He only put forward many great principles, but he had not yet had time to annotate and explain them. Nowadays, those who interpret it are still the great Confucian scholars, who each have their own understanding.

He couldn't understand the matter, but he knew about the Rakshasa negotiations.

The purpose itself was to carve up Mongolia between the two families and recognize the throne, but it was just to improve relations and prevent Rakshasa support when they attacked Junggar.

Many things have not been completely resolved, and the Rakshasa mission came to Beijing to discuss more details. If he had to insist on the word "tribute" and force the Rakshasa people to serve as princes and come to see the emperor, the Rakshasa people would naturally refuse to come. Besides, the DPRK has really had no money in the past few years, and it still needs to save money to fight in Junggar. How can it continue to fight with Rakshasa?

Li Jiusi thought to himself, this is something strange.

Although there are many people who know the details of the negotiation, those who know the details will naturally understand the key. These students only know one but not the other. If they say that no one is instigating it, then it is really a damn thing.

But it seems unlikely that this was just to beat up Liu Yu. Duke Yi is an old bastard who usually hides whenever possible. It is unlikely that anyone will ask for Duke Yi's help.

What does it mean to move Liu Yu? For a moment, he couldn't figure out what these people behind the scenes wanted to do.

He couldn't handle this matter well, so he could only say: "I can't make a judgment on this case. You all stand up first, and I will report this matter to His Majesty."

Chen Zhen was helped by his classmates, but he didn't stand up, but continued to kneel on the ground.

Seeing Chen Zhen's youth, Li Jiusi probably guessed that he was a poor guy being used by others, and said helplessly: "What else do you want to say?"

Chen Zhen kowtowed several times and said: "Chen Zhen, a student of the imperial academy, is a minor figure with little influence, but Emperor Taizong said that all people can discuss politics. I have a few words to say, and I want to say them all."

Without waiting for Li Jiusi's consent, Chen Zhen immediately said: "The court uses many students from Wude Palace as officials, but they rarely read scriptures, but learn a lot of foreign knowledge. In the long run, I am afraid that they will not know the great righteousness of the saints."

"Sima Wengong commented on Wang Jinggong, saying that: natural disasters are not to be feared, people's words are not to be pitied, and ancestors are not to be followed!"

"Although the study of foreign knowledge in Wude Palace is the legacy of Emperor Taizong, ancestors are not to be followed!"

"I think the court should reform, abolish the Western knowledge of Wude Palace, and add the words of saints!"

"The Celestial Empire already has "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", Sima Wuhou's laws, Wude Wu Virtue, the Martial Temple has philosophy, the Confucian Temple has virtue, so why do we need Western knowledge? If we can master these knowledge, why worry about the injustice in the world? "

"Furthermore, they are not of our race, so their hearts must be different. Even if the barbarians have some knowledge, how can they compare with the words of the saints? "

"Students are also afraid that they will mix in words that are not worthy of the emperor and father. Liu Shouchang likes to learn Western learning and get close to Westerners, which is a humiliating act for the country. This must be noticed! "

Liu Yu snorted coldly on the side: "During the Yongchang period, many people who read the great principles of the saints shaved their heads. In terms of the knowledge of the saints, how are you compared to the Yansheng Duke back then? On the contrary, Taizu, Taizong, Shizong, and Gaozong did not read the classics, but it did not hinder their great principles of protecting the world! In my opinion, this Confucian scholar who read the great principles of the classics is not necessarily much better. "

Chen Zhen said loudly: "Those who surrender are not real Confucian scholars!"

Hearing this familiar argument, Liu Yu laughed even more in his heart.

Just as he was about to retort, Li Jiusi, perhaps afraid that Liu Yu would say something shocking in public, shouted: "Enough! Liu Shouchang, you leave. Let's not talk about this for now. I don't understand these things. I can only report to His Majesty and send someone else to deal with it."

"Everyone leave! Leave! Go back to the school. It's closed today. You are not allowed to go out. Wait for the treatment. Come on, send them back!"

After giving the order, the soldiers of the Children's Army drove them away with their muskets upside down, regardless of their identities.

Some more soldiers came and carried away the injured people lying on the ground.

Just as Liu Yu was about to leave, he saw the Duke of E on the horse giving Liu Yu a look and shaking his head slightly, indicating that Liu Yu should be careful these days.

He bowed and thanked him from a distance and returned to Wude Palace. The people who came out to fight with him rarely read the words of the saints on weekdays. Chen Zhen's words of debate had no effect on them. They just felt that they had a good fight today.

"Brother Shouchang, I despise the people in the Imperial College the most. They have lofty ambitions and lofty words, but in the end, they are useless. In terms of learning, those who fail to pass the imperial examination come to the Imperial College, and they are not necessarily capable."

The fight was over, and almost no one from the Wude Palace was injured. Everyone was in high spirits, and naturally they shared the same hatred and enemies.

The Wude Palace was built opposite the Imperial College to stir up conflicts and to check and balance the court. They didn't understand what the issue was in today's battle, so they naturally helped Liu Yu.

Liu Yu bowed to everyone and said, "Today's matter, I have troubled you classmates. I will have a banquet at home in a few days, and I will thank you."

Today, they couldn't go out, so they talked for a while and then went to the school to listen to the lecture.

The next day, the above still had no result, and they only said that the matter needed to be re-examined. Everyone can leave the school, but no more fighting during the trial period. If there is another fight, regardless of right or wrong, all will be severely punished.

Liu Yu guessed that this matter might not be easy to handle, so he could only try to smooth things over first. Maybe there was something going on in the court, and he had to fight for a result before he could deal with it.

After all, Liu Yu also injured some people. Before the formal handling, Liu Yu was fined 20 taels of silver for medicine.

Thinking that it would be better not to cause trouble these days, Liu Yu decided to go home and hide for a few days. He didn't believe that these people were brave enough to go to his house to make trouble.

Another thing was that he wanted to go back and ask his father about the situation in the court. Today's matter was really a bit wrong. If it was just out of the indignation of young people, I almost got beaten, which was a small matter. Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss and fought back.

But after listening to the petitions of those people, the spearhead was still pointed at the difference between "Heavenly Kingdom" and "China".

The Luosha envoys will soon enter the capital. This matter is extremely important to Liu Yu. This is an excellent window to open your eyes to the world. If envoys can be sent to each other, it will be of great benefit to the exchange of Western learning to the East, especially at a time when Catholic church incidents are frequent and there is a possibility of banning religion.

I heard from my father Liu Sheng that after several court discussions and debates, the reception standards for the Russian delegation were finally determined. However, this is a special case and is not the same as France, Poland and other countries.

After confirming that the Russian etiquette is not five bows and three kowtows, we agreed to the standards of the return visit of this dynasty and abide by the etiquette of the Russian country to meet the Tsar. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

This matter was finally decided. Liu Yu was really afraid of being instigated by someone with ulterior motives. In the end, the emperor could not withstand the pressure from many Confucian academic societies and changed it again.

After all, based on the political correctness and the evaluation standards of right and wrong at that time, justice stood on the side of the slogans of those Confucian scholars. If the "people" were really upset, the emperor would have to weigh it. Nowadays, the trend of forming associations to discuss politics is several times more prosperous than in the late Ming Dynasty, and it has gradually become a kind of force to judge right and wrong.

The fact that the fight has not been dealt with yet is very telling.
