Qiming 1158

Chapter 590 Kong Zheng is afraid that he will become a high-ranking official?

Su Yonglin's idea was unanimously approved by the Renaissance members.

Xin Qiji commented on Su Yonglin's thoughts with his rich experience of the old gentry.

"As the chairman said, Confucian scholars have always advocated the system of rituals. The ideal is to use the morality of saints to educate the world, so that everyone has morality, so that the world can naturally be governed, and the world is no longer a dream. The attitude of the law is not positive."

Tian Guizi has read a lot of books these days, and he will also speak afterward.

"I recently read, and I read that the conflict between Confucianism and Legalism was quite fierce in the pre-Qin period. Confucianism and Legalism disagreed and fought fiercely. We can use this as a pretext to pretend we are the heirs of Legalism and use Confucianism and Legalism. Trying to cover up our true purpose."

Tian Guizi's statement aroused the interest of the Renaissance members.

Wei Kexian, who likes to read more and more recently, stood up and spoke.

"The dispute between Confucianism and Law is very interesting, because at that time, the Qin state, which adopted the legalist theory, destroyed the six kingdoms of Shandong and unified the world. Confucianism was not fully adopted by the princes at that time. Later, Qin destroyed Hanxing, and Han first adopted it. It is the study of Huang-Lao, and it became Confucianism when Emperor Wu, I think it is very interesting in this regard."

Su Yonglin stood up with a smile and said, "Hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, Confucianism, law, Huanglaozhi, etc. are all very interesting. In the future, we can conduct special studies and discussions on this issue, learn their strengths, and discard them. shortcomings.

And now, as Premier Tian said, we are too weak to confront the gentry and bureaucrats head-on, so we can use pretense and disguise to turn us into legalists, and use the judicial office to check and balance the Confucian scholars, At the same time develop and train our own comrades.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the imperial examination must be used as a method for selecting officials. When it comes to the imperial examination, if the content of the examination remains unchanged, our comrades will not be able to compete with those Confucian scholars who are familiar with the Confucian classics. Certain improvements will also be made.

To divide scholars with Xunzi's theory and introduce special judicial examinations, our comrades need to find another way to enter the imperial court and localities and obtain official positions by studying Xunzi's theory and participating in judicial examinations.

In addition, in the aspects that the Confucian scholars do not pay attention to, such as the aspects that they regard as strange and obscene, I will also improve it in the imperial examinations, and our comrades can also enter the imperial court and hold official positions through this aspect of study. "

After speaking, Su Yonglin made a summary.

"Although the power of the Fuxing Association cannot dominate state affairs at the moment, although the imperial examinations are bound to be held, and Confucian scholars will inevitably enter the imperial court, it is also our way to win by taking advantage of aspects that they do not pay attention to to compete with them and eventually turn the tables.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order to realize our ultimate philosophy, in order to crush all the upper-class people, so that all citizens can be fed and clothed and educated, so that they all understand that they are not born poor. In order to achieve these goals, please be patient. , work hard, and wait for the day when it looks up! "

Su Yonglin bowed deeply to all Fuxing members present at the meeting.

All the members also stood up and greeted Su Yonglin.

"Here!"

Their reply was heavy and firm.

Subsequently, the Central Committee of the Renaissance Society voted and approved the draft of the founding of the country proposed by Su Yonglin.

After receiving the understanding and support of the Revival Council, Su Yonglin held the second round of secret meetings with the revised draft of the founding of the country.

The participants in the second round of secret meetings were all the main leading officials in the General Affairs Bureau, and they were the pre-determined founding senior officials, including the old officials and the old gentry.

These things must be communicated and discussed with them first, and then give them certain promises and assign some power to them, so that they can feel at ease and continue to do what they should do.

When officials from the Civil Affairs, Finance, Priesthood, Agriculture, Military, Criminal, Public Works, Duchas and other major departments learned about the incident, they immediately came to this high-level non-public meeting with excitement. .

As we all know, generally open meetings do not exist to solve problems, but to inform the solutions that have been decided.

Meetings where decisions can be made are generally not open to the public. Except for the parties, outsiders can only make judgments based on some unconcealed appearances afterwards.

It's as if right now, all the attendees who were notified knew what the real point of this meeting was.

This is a conference to distribute power before the founding of the country. It is a conference that determines the political situation and political direction for a long period of time after the founding of the country. Anyone who can participate can be regarded as an important position of real power.

So they were quite pleasantly surprised and hurriedly squeezed out time to attend this meeting.

On the day of the meeting, Yelu Chenghui, Minister of Civil Affairs, Yelu Yuanyi, and Chen Jichang, Minister of Civil Affairs, came earlier.

When they arrived outside the venue and waited to enter the venue, they chatted about some business issues, and they were polite to each other.

After a while, Kong Zheng and his friend, the priest priest Zhou Jiang, and the financial secretary Cao Kai came together.

Seeing these three people appear together, Chen Jichang, who is also from Shandong, immediately greeted Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi, and went over to talk with Kong Zheng and others, looking very close.

I don't know what topics they are talking about, and they chat and laugh together, as if the world situation is under their control.

Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi felt uncomfortable when they saw this.

"I've been working with the Secretary of Civil Affairs for several months, and I haven't seen how enthusiastic he is to us. He looks like a businessman, and I thought he was an upright person. Now... Look at his flattering appearance. When Kong Zheng came, he immediately joined in. Go up, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Yelu Yuanyi looked at Yelu Chenghui and said in a low voice: "Although this person is not a good person, but he can do this, I'm afraid he heard some rumors beforehand, and Kong Zheng is afraid that he won't be a high-ranking official?"

Yelu Chenghui thought for a while and snorted coldly.

"Don't say that Kong Zheng is not a high-ranking official, when did these Shandong people take us seriously? Most of the officials of the entire priest are Shandong people, and they usually carry a non-me race behind our backs, hum! Say they are There is nothing wrong with being sour and corrupt!"

Yelu Yuanyi thought about it for a while, and his face was not easy.

"It can't be said like this. Judging from the current situation, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the post of Minister of Rites must belong to Kong Zheng. The Ministry of Rites is usually nothing, but the imperial examinations are handled by the Ministry of Rites.

No matter what we plan to do in the future, it is not good for us to make our relationship too stiff with them. At that time, they can make us lose everything by making a little stumbling. Things can't develop like this. "

Yelu Chenghui shook his head.

"You think the general doesn't know about this kind of thing? The priest is the priest, and the Ministry of Rites is the Ministry of Rites. Everyone knows that the imperial examinations are organized by the Ministry of Rites, and they also know that there are many scholars in the Central Plains, especially in Shandong. Their advantage is definitely the greatest.

If you really want to carry out the imperial examinations completely, it will not take many years, and all the people in the court will be from Shandong. Do you really think that the general will allow such a situation to happen?If this is true, is the new dynasty the new dynasty of the people in the world, or the new dynasty of the Shandong people? "

Yelu Yuanyi felt that Yelu Chenghui was right, and thought that Yelu Chenghui was often called by Su Yonglin to discuss government affairs before, and it took half an hour and an hour to talk about it, so he became interested.

"If you say that...what kind of wind did you hear?"
