Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 462: Fighting in the court, I just want to go home and take care of my baby (please subscribe!!)

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed hesitant, Li Shanchang spoke again.

"Your Majesty, regardless of the fact that these great scholars have violated the law, they have great influence among the people. If they are dealt with and convicted on a large scale, it will definitely upset the balance!"

"In addition, Prince Consort Ouyang has repeatedly said how good the education model currently being implemented is, but the new education model has never been put into practice. Who can guarantee that it will be good? On the contrary, Confucian education has been proven for hundreds of years. Your Majesty directly listens to what the family says. It would be a bit arbitrary to completely abolish Confucian education!”

Today is Li Shanchang's first morning court return to the court. Naturally, he will not give up easily. Li Shanchang has also made many preparations for today's morning court.

Li Shanchang did not care about the life and death of the Confucian lineage, but now Ouyang Lun's forceful promotion of a new education model not only destructively suppressed the Confucian lineage, but also caused great losses to the Huaixi Party.

Once the Confucian lineage is completely captured, it will not only mean that the power of the Prince Consort Party will surge again, but also mean that the Huaixi Party will directly face the Prince Consort Party. Now the Strength of the Prince Consort Party has a tendency to surpass the Huaixi Party. Huaixi Party If the party really gets into a fight with the Prince Consort, there is no guarantee of victory.

But if we can preserve the line of Confucianism and then join forces with the line of Confucianism, there will be many benefits. The first is to prevent the Huaixi Party and the Prince Consort Party from directly taking action, and the second is to give the Huaixi Party a boost. .

The thought that the Huaixi Party needs to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against the Prince Consort Party makes Li Shanchang feel a little sad. However, Li Shanchang is also very clear-headed. Ouyang Lun and the Prince Consort Party are no longer the original ones. They must not be underestimated!

Therefore, Li Shanchang wants to keep the line of Confucianism!
arbitrary! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Li Shanchang, since you said so, I'm afraid you already have an idea to solve this matter in your mind, right?"

Before Ouyang Lun could speak, the Huaixi Party officials couldn't wait to speak.

Moreover, Ouyang Lun has succeeded so many times, why won't he fail once? ?
Is the new education model really the best? ?

Seeing the civil and military officials asking for a debate, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Ouyang Lun, with a hint of worry in his expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that Li Shanchang was going to be defeated by Ouyang Lun, but he didn't expect that Li Shanchang had other means. In this case, let's continue and let Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang fight with each other, and he can sit on the dragon's throne, and he will leave it to him in the end. This "referee" determines victory or defeat.

If he wins the debate, there will be no need to mention the benefits. At least no one will question the new education model. But if he loses the debate, Ouyang Lun will not only be embarrassed, but the new education model is likely to gain a strong reputation in the Confucian lineage. The protest ended in vain! !
The possibility of education reform failure increases greatly!
No matter how he manipulated the art of imperial balance, deep down in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang still hoped that the new model would win. Zhu Yuanzhang had already studied the new education model in private, which was very beneficial to the imperial power.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"

"I'm just afraid Ouyang Prince Consort won't want to do it!"

The atmosphere in the Taiji Hall became increasingly lively, and soon not only the Huaixi Party, but also many neutral officials began to support a court debate.

One thing Li Shanchang said is right, that is, regarding education reform, no one cares too much about the content of the reform, and has never doubted the effect of the new education model. After all, Ouyang Lun presided over the launch of many policies, and there is no doubt about these policies. All of them have achieved very good results, so that the three characters Ouyang Lun have become a golden sign. Who would doubt it?
But when Li Shanchang raised his doubts, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials couldn't help but have a question in their minds, that is - is there really no problem with Ouyang Lun's policies? After all, there were no problems with the past policies, and there is no guarantee that the newly introduced policies will not have problems.

At this moment, almost everyone in the Taiji Hall is looking forward to a court debate on the Ming Dynasty’s education model!

"Yes." Li Shanchang cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "Your Majesty, the more things are explained, the clearer the reasons are. Since Ouyang Prince Consort believes that the new education model is better, and Chen and the Confucian school believe that Confucian education It is more suitable for the Ming Dynasty. It is better to call those great scholars and have a debate with Ouyang Prince Consort. Your Majesty and the officials will serve as witnesses. Then it will be clear who loses and who wins! "

Swish--

"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Li said is reasonable, so we should have a debate!"

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's worried gaze, Ouyang Lun still looked indifferent. Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Li has put aside the facts, if I don't agree, wouldn't it mean that you really Think you have found the truth?”

"Please allow Your Majesty to allow those great scholars to debate with Ouyang Prince Consort!"

debate? !
As soon as Li Shanchang said this, all the officials present were shocked, but they quickly realized that this was a clever move by Li Shanchang.

"The reason why the Confucian school is blocking the new model of education is that they do not think that the new model is better than Confucianism. The reason why the new model can be successfully implemented now is entirely because of the imperial court's unremitting support. If the imperial court does not support it, the new model can still be Survive?"

Once the seeds of doubt appear in people's hearts, the thoughts of doubt will amplify infinitely!

The debate can make a thorough comparison between the two models, and it is easy to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages. Once the results are announced, everyone's doubts can be dispelled.

In an instant, everyone in the hall once again focused their attention on Ouyang Lun.

"I don't want to be said to be arbitrary. Since you have a way, just say it directly. If it is appropriate, I am willing to give you another chance!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun bowed his hands and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, isn't it just a debate? I'll take it, but I have to say something ugly first. The debate will be a debate. Don't do anything then. Besides, if you Glass heart, you can’t blame anyone else!”

As soon as these words came out, the smell of gunpowder in the scene immediately became much stronger!
Originally, Ouyang Lun didn't want to do this. If you, Li Shanchang, think that the new education model is not good, then leave it to you. Let's take a break and take a vacation with our wife and children.

However, thinking that Li Shanchang had clearly come prepared today, was deliberately picky about food, and fought against him at every turn. If Ouyang Lun took a step back today, the Huaixi Party members would definitely go too far.

Ouyang Lun could still tell the difference between holding back and getting more and more angry, taking a step back and getting more frustrated, or punching away to avoid hundreds of punches coming.

Since Li Shanchang wants to argue, then he will argue!
Seeing Ouyang Lun come down, Li Shanchang nodded, "Ouyang Prince Consort is so happy!"

Then he turned towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang has agreed, so let's debate it in this morning!"

"I'm sure!"

"What are your requirements regarding the debate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, since we are debating the new education model and Confucianism, we naturally need to invite some great Confucians to come to the main hall to debate with Ouyang Prince Consort. I, like Your Majesty and all of you, are just spectators!" Li Shanchang said slowly.

Everything was as expected by Li Shanchang. His task was to drag Ouyang Lun into the debate arena, and at the same time push the Confucian scholars into it, but he himself stayed out of the matter. No matter what the outcome of this debate, Li Shanchang would not treat him. What big impact will it have? If the great Confucian scholar wins the debate, then he will be the great hero who saves Confucianism and defeats Ouyang Lun. If the great Confucian scholar loses the debate, it means that Confucianism is not up to par, and the mud cannot hold up the wall. With him, Li Shanchang has nothing to do with it.

And after hearing Li Shanchang's words, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but complain in his heart - what a cunning old fox! !

"Then select a few of the Confucian scholars who have been captured in the capital and are top-notch in ability and status!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then turned to look at Ouyang Lun, "Li Shanchang has already expressed his thoughts, and so have you. What do you think? Ouyang Lun!”

"Whatever request you have for this debate, if the request is reasonable, I can agree to it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"Your Majesty, my son-in-law's request has just been stated. As long as some people don't act shamelessly and don't cry when the time comes."

Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Is this gone?"

"No, what else do you want?"

"Forehead"

Ouyang Lun's words made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "Ouyang Lun, don't be too arrogant. Don't cry when you lose later!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I believe I won't be the one crying later!" Ouyang Lun replied firmly.

"Okay, let's get started!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then waved his hand, "Come here, bring me all the great scholars who have been arrested!"

"Your Majesty, there are too many great scholars who have been arrested. If we bring them all, I am afraid that the Taiji Hall will be overcrowded. I think it is enough to select a few talented and representative great scholars from these people to debate!"

"I happen to have already made a list, please take a look at it!"

After speaking, Li Shanchang took out a coupon and handed it over.

"How many scholars do you have?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset after reading the excerpt.

Good guy, this brochure is full of names, at least dozens of people, and even Zhu Yuanzhang has heard of some of them, and they are the best debaters. This Li Shanchang is planning to send Ouyang Lun to Forced on a desperate road!

You may be polite with your words, but your hands will be deadly!

Seeing this situation, Li Shanchang said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty, when those great scholars heard that they wanted to debate with Ouyang Prince Consort, they all signed up. However, in order to take care of Ouyang Prince Consort, this minister only plans to invite fifteen of them! I have chosen them for a long time, and they are all great scholars in the world. They are very magnanimous and will never bully Ouyang's consort until the point is reached!"

"Of course, during the debate, the words will inevitably be exaggerated. Please bear with me, Prince Consort Ouyang!"

Fifteen great scholars of the time. Such a lineup. Tsk tsk.

"It's easy to talk, this debate is a literary battle between literati, and everyone wins or loses based on their ability." Ouyang Lun said calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ouyang Lun, "Ouyang Lun, you heard just now that Li Shanchang has hired fifteen people from the Confucian school. You can also find some helpers."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand Li Shanchang's operation.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. There are only fifteen people, but I haven't taken it seriously yet. You don't need help from others in the debate. I am enough for you!"

When Ouyang Lun said this, he exuded strong confidence, like a lone swordsman, which shocked people's hearts.

"Since you have made your decision and I will not dissuade you, do you have any other requests?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"My son-in-law has only one request now."

"any request?"

"Then start the debate quickly. My son-in-law still has to go back to the next court to take care of the children!"

Ouyang Lun said solemnly and helplessly: "My three wives all have their own things to do now, leaving three children for my son-in-law to take care of. If I go back too late, my three children will probably tear the house apart!" If the three children are not taken care of, the three ladies will not let my husband go."

"It's really difficult for a man to get married!"

Zhu Yuanzhang:
Civil and military officials:.
Everyone had no idea that Ouyang Lun, the powerful consort, was actually a "househusband"! !

Sure enough, the capable people these days have abnormal brains and cannot think with normal people's thinking at all.

"Okay, hurry up and call those fifteen great scholars!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said with a headache.

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order, fifteen great scholars of the time were brought to the Tai Chi Hall. All of the fifteen great scholars of the time were wearing prison clothes, bracelets and shackles. Each of them held their heads and chests high, as if they had crowns on their heads. , looking proudly at the civil and military officials in the hall.

When these great scholars saw Ouyang Lun, their eyes suddenly turned red, as if they were seeing enemies of life and death. If they were not controlled by bracelets and shackles, they would all rush towards Ouyang Lun.

"Ouyang traitor! You have harmed Zhongliang and destroyed my lineage of Confucianism. I curse you to die a good death!"

"Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun is actually the most treacherous minister of our Ming Dynasty. Keeping him here will cause endless trouble!"

"Your Majesty, if a traitor like Ouyang Lun is allowed to control the government, our Ming Dynasty will fall sooner or later!"

"Stop!" Ouyang Lun interrupted the words of these great scholars and said: "This is the Tai Chi Hall. You should stop playing the trick of loyal and direct admonishment. You should know what happened to the last Li Dongyang who played like this."

As soon as Ouyang Lun said this, the fifteen great scholars immediately stopped talking, but they still stared at Ouyang Lun, their eyes full of anger and hatred!
To be honest, the advancement of the new education model during this period has made Confucianism feel like it is about to be completely eliminated, and the initiator of all this is Ouyang Lun. These great Confucian scholars can be said to hate Ouyang Lun to the core!
Some time ago, Ouyang Lun uprooted their Confucian lineage one by one, and they all became prisoners. They were already desperate, but at this time, Li Shanchang stood up and said that he would give them a chance!
With the support of Li Shanchang, he also got the help of the entire Huaixi Party!

At this moment, these fifteen great scholars just want to win over Ouyang Lun through debate and avenge their previous humiliation! !
