Wentang

Chapter 450
"It's not reasonable, it's not reasonable, do these people still have the law of the king, do they still have me as a saint in their eyes?" Li Shimin said furiously in the imperial palace and Lizheng Hall.

"Sage, calm down, there will be a battle between you and the aristocratic family, it's only a matter of time. Now that Cuilan stands up to attract their attention, isn't it more suitable for you to control behind the scenes." Changsun Wugou persuaded.

Li Shimin glared at her angrily, will he speak, what is behind-the-scenes manipulation?Am I such a sinister person?If it weren't for the wrong day... hum.

However, this is very reasonable, and he has more room to manipulate by using new learning to fight with the aristocratic family to attract firepower.As soon as he turned his mind, he thought of many coquettish routines...

But everything will not be implemented until Yue Shan's new book is completed, so let those diehards be arrogant for a while now.

Thinking of this, he looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and said, "The maidservant Guanyin is really my good helper."

Then the couple started feeding dog food to the people around them.

The reason for Li Shimin's anger is very simple, that is, the aristocratic family supported the old school and Yueshan to fight in the ring, and took action to split the academy.

Who doesn't know that Li Shimin is behind the academy?The splitting of the aristocratic family is slapping him in the face of the emperor, and he will definitely be angry.

On the surface, the dispute between the old and new schools is an academic dispute, but in fact it is a power struggle, a struggle between imperial power, emerging aristocrats, and powerful families.

Behind the new school is the imperial power and the emerging aristocracy. They hope to use the new school to attack the powerful families and even send them to the dustbin of history.

The aristocratic family also understands this, so naturally they don't want to hand over power, so they must stand up and fight in the ring.

But the world is gray, not black and white.Those who supported the old school were not only powerful families, but also many scholars from ordinary backgrounds.

Let's put it this way, the deeper the book reading, the more fixed the three views of people, the more stubborn the personality and the less able to be persuaded.This is why we often say that knowledgeable people are particularly paranoid and even self-willed when it comes to professional knowledge.

Those people have received this kind of education since they were young, and they have also learned this kind of knowledge. It is impossible for them to accept new learning casually after studying for a lifetime.

Li Gang is old, and he can take everything seriously. The Analects of Confucius is just written with his own eyes, and he has a special feeling in it.Otherwise, you can see whether he supports the new school or the old school.

Wang Ji is a maverick kind of person, including his elder brother Wang Tong.As mentioned earlier, Wang Tong is one of the rare masters who is proficient in the three schools of thought, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and has devoted his whole life to the integration of the three schools of thought.

Under the influence of his elder brother, Wang Ji also has this tendency.

The theory put forward by Yue Shan is very consistent with his thoughts, so he has become the most die-hard supporter.As for Kong Yingda, supporting Xinxue is more out of interest.

The new study raised Confucius to the height of a sage. As the direct descendant of Confucius, he must support Yue Shan.What's more, he also contributed to the writing of the Analects of Confucius.

So right now the power of the old school far exceeds that of the new school.

On the other hand, not all the supporters of Xinxue are from poor families, and there are also children from aristocratic families.When the academy split, many descendants of the aristocratic families chose to stay.

The reason is simple. The progress of the new learning is obvious, and Confucianism has reached the point where it will not change.

Yue Shan's Analects of Confucius justice appeared just right, and it was mellow and self-consistent, and was approved by the emperor...so many aristocratic families took the initiative to change their attitudes and chose to support him.

Some people have to ask, are the old school so stupid?Can't they see this?

Of course you can see it, but sometimes the battle is based on positions rather than right or wrong.The ideas of the old school are not necessarily wrong, they just do not conform to the current era.

Moreover, the old school has always been innovating, but the 'innovator' must be a member of the family, not someone else.

If Yue Shan came from an aristocratic family, you can see whether those aristocratic families will stand up against him and will only praise him higher.So more people still see it as a standpoint.

In order to cheer Yue Shan, the emerging nobles also took action under Li Shimin's hint, sending their children to the academy one after another, and the academy that was just vacated was full again.

Even Li Shimin wanted to use the court's means to suppress Bailu Academy, but was stopped by a letter from Yue Shan.

No matter how many dogs and dogs are involved in this struggle, as long as Li Shimin does not end in person, the battlefield will be limited to the pen and on paper.If Li Shimin goes out, it is likely to cause turmoil.

Again, the struggle between literati will eventually return to the pen.

After eliminating the old schools, Wang Ji carried out drastic reforms to the academy again.First of all, the several subjects set up by Yueshan are all open for enrollment.

Confucianism, Taoism, law, Gewu...

At the beginning, in order to take care of the teachers and students of the old school, the law school only accepted a few students symbolically, and the Gewu College only stayed on paper.

Now that the academy is full of new schools, Wang Ji reorganized these two subjects and recruited a large number of students.

Law students are easy to find. Legalism is low-key but always exists.Now that he learned that the law department of the academy is recruiting a lot of disciples, he directly sent his own children here.

It is hard to find students in Gewu, but Wang Ji is so smart, he deceived a lot of mathematics lovers by subverting concepts.It's not entirely a lie, mathematics itself is a required subject of Gewu.

Of course, it is only one of the required subjects, and there are several other required subjects.

On the contrary, Bailu Academy is very "independent" in order to have only Confucianism and Taoism.As for the subject of law...it doesn't deserve to be compared with us, the subject of Gewu...what the hell is this?

According to the standards of later generations, Longshoushan Academy is considered a comprehensive university, while Bailu Academy is a pure liberal arts college, or a literature category in liberal arts.

It's too early to say who is better than whom.

But at the very least, Longshoushan Academy is more popular with passers-by. After all, legalists and mathematics lovers are naturally closer to it.

The turmoil outside did not affect Yue Shan, he put all his thoughts on writing the book.

After all, he is a professional counterpart. He wrote this book very quickly, and it can be said that he wrote it with spirit.Although there was no preparation in advance, the preliminary manuscript was written in just over two months.

It took more than a month to cut and sort out the first draft, and it took more than two months to deliberate word by word before finalizing the final version.

Opening the door and walking out, a wave of heat hits my face, my eyes hurt from the glare, and it took me a while to get used to it after I squinted my eyes.

As the saying goes, one day in the mountains, Fang has been in the world for thousands of years. When he first retreated, he was still wearing a big padded jacket, but now it was the midsummer season when he was sweating even in single clothes.

Of course, his so-called retreat is not the kind of retreat that sees no light in the novels of martial arts and fairy tales, it just means closing the door to thank guests.I come out every day to exercise my body and change my mind.

So there was no discomfort or anything like that.

He was also relieved when the book was finally written, and he was not in a hurry to publish it, but wandered around in the yard.

When he walked to the back garden, he was amazed by the scene in front of him.
