Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1459, the battle between the old and the new

In Tingyuxuan, more than a dozen top talents have gathered on the attic of the island in the middle of the lake. Among them is Lu Nan, a great talent from Shaanxi. great talent.

There is also Jing Yang, a talented scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, who, together with Jiang Shanqing, Zhao He, and Zhu Yingdeng, is known as the "Four Talents in the North of the Yangtze River", which is no different from the famous Four Talents in the South of the Yangtze River a few years ago.

There is also Dai Dabin, a talented young man from Fujian. This Dai Dabin is only [-] years old now.

Every talented person who can come to the island pavilion in the center of the lake is a real talented person of this era. At this moment, while listening to the beautiful sound of the piano, they are also talking about the world.

When the news of the competition at the entrance reached here, these gifted scholars present could not help but smile slightly. Literati, the pissing nature is actually the same. it's the same.

"Brother Lu~"

"This time the imperial examination, the chief examiner is Liu Gong, the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials~"

"Liu Gong has always been determined to reform, and I don't know what problems will arise this time."

Jing Yang took a sip of wine, smiled and said to Lu Nan beside him, although Lu Nan is from the north, but he is talented, and Lu Nan admires him very much.

Although it has been said that there have been many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, outstanding people have emerged in large numbers, but in the land of China, there have always been talented people in large numbers. Almost every place and every era has outstanding talents. In the northern provinces, countless people can always emerge in every imperial examination. Junjie.

"Liu Gong was the No. [-] scholar in the [-]th year of Hongzhi. It is said that he is the son of a high-ranking man. It must be different for him to write a question."

Lu Nan thought for a while and said.

"Although Mr. Liu is determined to reform, the new schools he runs and the courses he teaches are all heresy. Presumably Mr. Liu will not follow the right way when he proposes questions."

A talented man followed suit, obviously criticizing Liu Jin in his words.

Since the promotion of Xinxue in Daming, more and more Xinxue schools have been opened, and a large number of students have been recruited. The brand-new education model and teaching courses are greatly different from the traditional Confucian education.

This had a severe impact on the entire society of Ming Dynasty, and it also made the children of Confucianism deeply feel the crisis.

Compared with the mutual contempt between the students in the north and the south, this kind of debate between the old and the new is the real wave that swept through Ming Dynasty.

The students from the north and the south just competed with each other about who was more talented. There was no difference or controversy between them in terms of "Tao".

Even this time in the imperial examination, in this small poetry meeting, there are still some Confucian students who are quite critical of Liu Jin, because the old learning has always attacked the new learning, and the spearhead will be aimed at Liu Jin.

It is believed that Liu Jin is vigorously advocating new learning, vigorously supporting and establishing new learning, which has formed the current atmosphere of new learning, which is likely to overwhelm the old learning.

Compared with the large-scale investment in the new school, Liu Jin expressed his distaste for the traditional old school. Not only did he not have any support, he neither opened private schools nor academies, nor did he spend as much money as he did to support the new school. funding.

However, Liu Jin was born in the traditional old school, was the number one scholar in the imperial examination, and held a high position, which made many old school students and Confucian masters extremely dissatisfied with Liu Jin.

"Brother Li, speak carefully!"

Someone next to him hurriedly reminded him.

Liu Jin is the chief examiner this time. He is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is a celebrity around Emperor Hongzhi. I don’t know how many people want to curry favor with him, but they can’t. You are just a candidate for the exam. Can't be in high school.

Even if you are in high school and you can become an official in the future, you will still have to be controlled by others. You are still a thousand miles away from Liu Jin. If you are casual, you may be able to arrange you to be a low-ranking official in Huangjinzhou.

"Yes, yes, speak carefully, speak carefully~"

"Let's see if anyone from Dongbang can come to the attic."

Lu Nan also nodded and said. After speaking, he looked outside at the gazebo, and immediately noticed Li Nanyun who was about to come to the attic.

"Who is this person?"

"He is almost here in the attic, which shows that he is knowledgeable, and I am afraid that he is no worse than me. The key is to look at his appearance. It seems that he should be from Nanyun Province."

Hearing Lu Nan's words, a servant in the attic hurried to inquire, and came back soon to speak.

"His name is Li Nanyun. He is from Nanyun Province. He passed the provincial examination in Nanyun Province last year."

"Nanyun Province Jieyuan?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded slightly.

Although Nanyun Province is not the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, there are also a large number of Han immigrants in Nanyun Province. It can become a province to solve the Yuan Dynasty, and it can overwhelm many Han students. The formation of Li Nanyun is full of talent and knowledge. up.

"I am a great Ming who has expanded its borders and expanded its territory. It is inclusive of all rivers and rivers. It is great to be tolerant."

"When the barbarians from all over the world come to our China, they will come out of China, and they will always produce some wonderful and gorgeous people."

Jing Yang also nodded and said.

While everyone was chatting, Li Nanyun had also come to the attic of Huxin Island. He passed all the tests of the nine gazebos and became the first Dongbang student to come here.

Following Li Nanyun, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao also relied on cheating methods to come to the attic of Huxin Island.

"Old Liu, you are the best. If I come by myself, I probably won't be able to pass the first test, let alone come to this island in the middle of the lake."

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was very excited. A pair of small eyes carefully looked at the attic in front of him. The dress was very elegant, not only the sound of the piano every second, but also the singing and dancing girl, and hiding behind the screen, wearing a veil The gifted woman seemed to be observing the gifted scholars present.

When they saw Li Nanyun, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao coming in, everyone couldn't help but look at the three of them carefully.

Li Nanyun is a Caucasian, tall, with fair skin, a pair of blue and deep eyes, and thick sword eyebrows, compared with the talents of the Ming Dynasty, he has a bit of toughness.

As for Liu Jin, he is very in line with the appearance of a traditional Han talent. He is handsome and well-dressed. He is in his early thirties. He lacks the immaturity of a youth, but he has the calmness and restraint of a mature man. Having been in a high position for a long time, there was an aura of a superior person coming towards him, so much so that the eyes of many oirans in the attic could not help but light up.

Zhu Houzhao next to him had a hippie smile and a sloppy look. Compared with Li Nanshan and Liu Jin, he looked much inferior.

When the three of them came in, it was natural that they got to know each other with these talents present.

"This new learning is booming, and the private schools and academies I have newly run by Confucianism are really insignificant compared to the schools run by the new learning and the number of students it recruits."

"Only last year, my Ming Dynasty opened more than [-] new-style primary schools, more than [-] new-style middle schools, and more than [-] so-called universities."

"The name of the university is really like these two words. I have already read the courses they teach. They study all kinds of heresy, intending to explore and understand the truth of the universe. They are really ants Look at the sky, don't overestimate yourself!"

Many students chatted and chatted, and soon they talked about new learning, and some people couldn't help complaining.

"Ah~"

"There are too many ignorant people who send their children to Xinxue to learn heresies just because they want the new school to not charge tuition fees and have a lunch."

"It's not easy for me to study in the door of Confucianism. Not only does it require expensive training, but also my Confucianism is as vast as the sea, difficult to learn and difficult to master, so a large number of people are kept out of the door."

"It's not more than new learning, it's some superficial things, heresy, not worth mentioning."

Someone also nodded and said.

"I really don't understand why the imperial court didn't abolish these new-style schools, and let them grow stronger, which greatly overshadowed my Confucian orthodoxy."

"Although they are still a little bit prosperous now, the future will be long. If there is more time, I am afraid that my Confucian orthodoxy will definitely be shaken in the future."

"According to the time, when the orthodox way declines and the unorthodox way gains power, the universe will be turned upside down, the sun and the moon will be chaotic, and there will be chaos, and my Great Ming will be in danger!"

Jing Yang also sighed and said that he was born in the south of the Yangtze River and was deeply influenced by Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River. He has always opposed the new learning and the New Deal. When it comes to this matter, he also seems extremely concerned about the country and the people.

"I have a different opinion on the words of several brothers."

Li Nanyun stood up and said after hearing that some people criticized the new learning one after another, even criticizing the new learning as useless.

"Oh, I don't know what brother Li's opinion is?"

Everyone immediately looked at Li Nanyun in unison, wanting to see what high-level remarks this Xie Yuan from Nanyun Province could make.

Liu Jin also looked at this Li Nanyun, but really wanted to see what this Li Nanyun could say to the talented people present.

To be honest, Liu Jin was still very disappointed.

Although each of them is indeed talented, the traditional poems and songs, etc., they are at their fingertips, and they are all so proficient in playing.

But listening to them criticizing the new learning, criticizing the new learning for nothing, not seeing any advantages of the new learning, being extremely arrogant, seeing new things with prejudice.

Liu Jin knew that these people were no different from the conservative officials above the court, and they were all products made by large Confucian factories.

No matter how well-written the poems, songs and articles are, no matter how talented they are, they will always be like that, not much different from most officials above the court.

On the contrary, Li Nanyun in front of him, although he is a native of Nanyun Province, seems to have his own views on the new learning, which makes Liu Jin interested, and wants to hear what special things he can say.
