This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 97 Great Confucianism Gathered, Guozijian said, the first step to establish a sect!
In the following month, Princess Changning took the place of Duke Zhen as commander in chief, and fought several fierce battles with the barbarians who had made a comeback.

Fortunately, during the great battle, the Wan Yao Kingdom was not seen.

At the same time, in the Longmen County in the south of the Great Zhou Empire, the second prince is also gearing up his troops, preparing to deal with the troops from the country who have already crossed the border of Chen Bing and are about to cross Jinting Mountain.

The haze of war hangs over Emperor Tianfu and his officials.

Attracted by the military merit system, countless common people and servants of aristocratic families enthusiastically joined the army.

Only the scholars did not seem to be affected in any way.

Either pinpoint the current situation, or be romantic, or immerse yourself in studying hard.

During this month, Li Qing also abided by his duties as a censor, impeaching several officials of the DPRK and China one after another.

In my spare time, I went to Dongchang to teach a few lessons to the eunuchs.

To Li Qing's surprise, these eunuchs were able to over-fulfill every task he assigned.

Nearly two-thirds of the thousand-character text has been finished. As long as it is the text he taught, the eunuchs of Dongchang can firmly remember it verbatim, without exception.

At the same time, in the past month, the two books of imperial examination experience and handed down records have also become popular in Shengjing.

Almost every student who aspires to the imperial examination holds the number one scholar's heart in his hand and reads it carefully as a sage book.

Handed down records are also in the circle of scholars, and the city is full of disturbances.

Some people agree with Li Qing's thought and theory very much, thinking that this is the development and progress of Confucianism.

But more people stand on the point of etiquette and declare that the imperial power is supreme, in order to criticize Li Qing's thought that the people are more important than the monarch and the society is second.

This point of view seems to have been recognized by many pedantic scholars under the promotion of caring people, and the voices criticizing Li Qing have become louder and louder.

The foundation of Confucianism is the ritual system.

The importance of the common people is actually higher than that of the king. Isn't this the collapse of ritual and music?
The voice of opposition became louder and louder. In the end, as more and more literati joined in, there was even a wave of criticizing Li Qing.

It is believed that his thoughts are contrary to the ritual system and contradicted the thoughts of Confucius.

So much so that under the voice of criticism, the combination of knowledge and action and conscience recorded in the records of handing down the world has not received much attention.

Not long after Li Qing came back from the Yushi stage, two brothers, Wang Yan and Wang Xin, came to the house.

"Teacher, there are more and more literati accusing you of being deviant, disrespectful of etiquette, and contradicting the thought of Confucius."

Wang Yan's complexion was very bad, and he said worriedly.

It is clear that the teacher's thoughts and theories are not wrong, but because they are contrary to the ritual system and the thought of Confucius, he has been criticized and criticized for no reason.

Wang Xin was also indignant, and directly yelled: "Pedantic! Those literati are so pedantic, they read their books into the stomach of a dog."

"How can the theory and ideas remain unchanged? The situation of Confucius' dynasty at that time was completely different from that of today. How can we stand still with things thousands of years ago!"

"Teacher, you don't have to be discouraged. Whenever new theories and ideas come out, they will be criticized and criticized by a group of people who don't understand the past. Just like the Neo Confucianism of the sage Zhu Lu, it was also criticized by countless Confucian scholars."

"But 1000 years have passed, among the seven kingdoms of the human race, which dynasty does not practice Confucianism!"

Li Qing smiled, and said indifferently: "Let's let the southeast and northwest wind blow, I will stand still. You don't need to get angry, someone should be behind this matter."

In just one month, all the voices in Shengjing praising the noble people and the gentlemen were all suppressed by the voices criticizing Li Qing for violating the etiquette system.

There is not even a voice to discuss the unity of knowledge and action.

This must be promoted by someone with a heart behind it. On the one hand, Li Qing's name is smeared, and on the other hand, he suppresses the unity of knowledge and action to prevent more people from discussing it.

Apart from the Zhu family, Li Qing couldn't think of anyone else with such a clear purpose.

What Li Qing could think of, Wang Xin could naturally think of too.

With a sullen face, he said angrily: "The teacher has been burdened with the infamy of disrespecting the etiquette system and contrary to Confucianism, and his reputation has been tarnished. There are only a few days left before the meeting of the Imperial College.

Nowadays, I am afraid that it is impossible for more than [-] college scholars to recommend teachers to participate in the lectures of the Imperial College. "

If you can't participate in the lectures of the Guozijian Conference, you can't have ideological and theoretical collisions and debates with great Confucians.

Li Qing's thoughts and theories will not be spread, but will be firmly suppressed by the current public opinion turmoil.

Regarding this, Li Qing felt gloomy in his heart.

If he is unable to participate in lectures at the Guozijian meeting, cannot debate with great Confucians at the Guozijian meeting, and cannot win the debate, his theories and thoughts will not be spread at all, and he will not be recognized by scholars all over the world.

In this way, how can we talk about Liyan?

In academic disputes, he touched the Zhu family's bottom line.

So much so that Zhu's family didn't talk about the way of a gentleman, and acted like a villain to promote and manipulate public opinion behind the scenes, tarnishing his reputation.

The road to making a statement is extremely bumpy.

Although there were many people criticizing Li Qing, the statues in Li Qingwen's Palace had also received a lot of obscurity over the past month.

As the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body increased, Li Qing understood that the hazy aura condensed in the statue of Wengong was the merit of enlightenment!
If you can speak at the Guozijian Council, you will win the debate with many great Confucians.

Li Qingli said that he will be recognized by more people.

It will be more beneficial for him to educate the people in the future.

If he can't speak up to the maximum, he can only take it step by step slowly, and the difference in efficiency is huge.

……

Yong'an Palace.

Emperor Tianfu looked at the battle report in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, his face was full of tiredness.

Ever since he condensed the Golden Dragon of Luck, he has been extremely energetic.

But every time I saw the battle report from the border, I felt extremely tired.

This is not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

"What's going on at the East Factory?"

Emperor Tianfu leaned back in his chair and asked casually.

It has been nearly three months since the establishment of the East Factory, and it has already begun to bear fruit. All the big and small things in Shengjing are under the supervision of the East Factory.

But there is still a long way to go to achieve the effect that Emperor Tianfu wants to monitor the world.

The eunuch in the palace who was waiting on the side replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei has been recruiting casual cultivators for a while, but the manpower is still not enough."

Emperor Tianfu put down the battle report in his hand and said, "Accompany me to Dongchang to have a look."

In this palace, it is too depressing.

Ever since he started the war with the barbarians and the army from the country came under pressure, he has been full of pressure.

I have to go out to relax and get some fresh air.

"Yes!"

The eunuch in the palace went out to prepare the dragon chariot, and accompanied Emperor Tianfu all the way to Dongchang.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the East Factory, Emperor Tianfu, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, was taken aback by the couplets on the gate of the East Factory.

Shanglian: Do not seek personal gain, do your best
The second line: Keep in mind the mission and make contributions
Horizontal batch: Serve the country with allegiance

Rao is the city mansion that Emperor Tianfu has cultivated over the years, and Rao is based on his 70 years of experience and insight.

Seeing this couplet posted at the gate of the East Factory, I couldn't help being stunned for a while.

A group of eunuchs, a group of disabled eunuchs, are determined to make meritorious deeds and serve the country loyally!
This is so unbelievable, so unbelievable.

But the joy and impact this couplet brought to Emperor Tianfu are almost equal.

Originally a little gloomy because of the border war, this time it turned out to be great.

"Go, go in and have a look."

Emperor Tianfu walks like a dragon and a tiger, and walks into the East Factory.

As soon as I entered the gate of Dongchang, I heard a burst of reading aloud.

"The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric.

The sun and the moon are surging, and the stars are listed.

The cold comes and goes, the autumn is harvested and winter is hidden.

Run more than adult years old, Lu Lu adjusts Yang.

Clouds cause rain, and dew forms frost.

Gold grows in Lishui, and jade grows in Kungang. "

"What's the situation? Are they reading? What are they reading?"

Emperor Tianfu was completely dumbfounded.

Shouldn't there be wailing everywhere in Dongchang, and the screams of those arrested ministers everywhere?

Why is it like coming to the academy instead.

Moreover, I have never read the books these eunuchs read.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei said that only by thoroughly reading the teachings of the sages can one fully understand what it means to serve the country with loyalty.

Today, the eunuchs in Dongchang are all diligent in their studies and able to read and write.

The book they read is called Thousand Characters.

It was specially compiled by the censor Li Qingli to teach eunuchs how to read and write. "

Liu Tong, the eunuch in the palace beside him, explained.

To be honest, he is now more and more envious of the eunuchs in Dongchang.

He was actually able to study with Master Yushi, and he could hear lectures from Master Yushi several times a month.

What a great honor is this?

He was serving Emperor Tianfu in the palace, but his heart drifted to Dongchang early on.

After listening to Liu Tong's explanation, Emperor Tianfu felt more comfortable.

My eunuchs have all read the books of sages and sages, and they all know how to serve the country with loyalty.

If things go on like this, why should the Great Zhou be unhappy!
Emperor Tianfu followed the sound of reading, walked all the way forward, and came to the door of a classroom.

The sound of reading aloud came from here.

On the wall of the classroom, lines of words of encouragement are engraved.

And it is colored with Jinyan liquid, which looks golden.

"Be proud of being loyal to the human race, and be ashamed of harming the human race."

"Be proud of benefiting the people, and be ashamed of oppressing the people."

"Be proud of being honest and honest, and be ashamed of being corrupt and breaking the law."

"Be proud of being conscientious and conscientious, and be ashamed of forming a party for personal gain."

The four honors and four shames engraved on the wall moved Emperor Tianfu's heart greatly!

"What a Dongchang!"

"If you can really achieve these four honors and four shames, Dongchang can be called the pillar of the society and a model for all the officials!!"

Emperor Tianfu's voice caught the attention of Wei Que, who supervised the eunuchs' reading in the classroom.

He hurried out and fell to the ground in fear.

"Your majesty sees your majesty! If you don't know your majesty is here, this slave deserves to die!"

Emperor Tianfu was in a good mood at this time, "You are not guilty, and even have great merit! I will reward you heavily!"

"Go, take me in and have a look."

Wei Que led Emperor Tianfu into the classroom, and the eunuchs who were immersed in their reading immediately knelt down and bowed in salute.

"Okay, everyone get up."

Emperor Tianfu casually picked up a book from an eunuch's desk.

It was Li Qing's Imperial Examination Experience, and he had also heard about this book.

Recently, it has become popular in Shengjing, and even in other states and counties of Dazhou, some scholars have come here to buy it.

Emperor Tianfu frowned, a group of eunuchs, could it be that they still want to take the imperial examination?
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that Li Yushi has struggled from the bottom of Guizhou to today's Sanyuan Jidi. I bought this imperial examination experience because I want to learn from Li Yushi's spirit of diligence and forge ahead.

Read more, learn more skills, and be determined to serve the country with all your loyalty, and become a useful person to the Great Zhou, so that you can honor your ancestors in the future. "

Wei Que said with a smile.

"Serving the country with allegiance, honoring the ancestors and honoring the ancestors, good ambition!"

Emperor Tianfu gave his words of praise without hesitation.

However, when he praised casually, a group of Dongchang eunuchs were excited.

"Liu Tong, why are you smirking?" Emperor Tianfu saw from the corner of his eyes that the eunuchs in the palace smirked when they heard the words Guangzong Yaozu.

The eunuch in the palace immediately withdrew his smile, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this servant received family letters from my younger brothers and nephews yesterday. This is the first time this servant has received a letter from home.

They said in the family letter that now the slaves are proud of being slaves in their hometown.He even welcomes me to go home to visit relatives. I am not ashamed of slaves as I used to be. "

As soon as the eunuch in the palace said it, Wei Que knew that this was the last time he was in the Zhuangyuan Building. Many people felt that the eunuch in the palace healed Lord Yushi and went to his hometown to give gifts.

For a moment, Wei Que felt extremely sour and envious in his heart.

When will the folks in my hometown be able to send me letters from home, and feel honored for what I have done.

Emperor Tianfu nodded, and saw that among the Dongchang eunuchs present, many of them had a little injury on their arms or thighs and were bandaging them.

Can't help but ask Wei Que curiously: "Why do they have more or less injuries on their bodies? Recently, Dongchang arrested important criminals and encountered resistance?"

Wei Que explained with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is not a servant girl who invites Li Yushi to come to Dongchang to give lectures several times a month, explaining to the eunuchs in Dongchang the idea of ​​serving the country with loyalty and teaching the principles of sages.

But everyone didn't know a single big character. In order to let the eunuchs learn to read as soon as possible, Li Yushi specially compiled a thousand-character essay.

These days, 670 words have been taught.

The big guys are all rough, have never read a book, and have a bad memory.

In order to keep in mind the characters taught by Li Yushi, he imitated the ancient people's head hanging from the beam and the awl stabbing the buttocks, using this stupid method to force himself to study day and night.

Now the effect is very good, everyone has firmly memorized every word Li Yushi taught. "

When Emperor Tianfu heard the words, the Three Views were hit again.

Never thought that these eunuchs would be so diligent and easy to learn to such a degree!
My goodwill towards Dongchang and my expectations for the future have further increased.

He faced all the eunuchs of Dongchang, and said: "You are so diligent and hardworking, with the ambition to serve the country loyally and honor the ancestors, I am impressed."

"From Wei Que, I heard about the rules of Dongchang, to make a meritorious service and engrave a pen until the words "loyalty and service to the country" are engraved.

I hereby promise you that whoever becomes a four-character eunuch by virtue of meritorious deeds will let local officials go to your hometown to erect a monument of meritorious deeds to engrave your deeds!Let you honor your ancestors! "

Emperor Tianfu, who was deeply aware of Dongchang's great role in the future imperial power, once again drew a huge cake in order to gain greater loyalty from the eunuchs of Dongchang and encourage them to be more loyal to the imperial power.

This piece of cake directly caused all the eunuchs to have red eyes and shortness of breath.

Cao Laosan was the first to bow down on the ground excitedly.

"Your Majesty's grace! Slaves are hard to repay! You must remember your duties, make contributions, and be loyal to the country!"

The rest of the eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude to Dade.

"My servant bows to His Majesty for your grace!"

Guangzong Yaozu!
As long as you become a four-character eunuch, you can erect a stele of meritorious deeds in your hometown. This will not only honor your ancestors, but also leave your name in history!

At that time, who would dare to look down on them?

After staying for less than a cup of tea, Emperor Tianfu gained the loyalty of all the eunuchs in Dongchang with just a few words.

On the way out of Dongchang, he asked Wei Que, "Is Li Qing still being criticized by those literati?"

Li Qing put forward the idea that the people are more important than the monarch and the society is second, which made Emperor Tianfu furious.

But scholars can refute with etiquette, even anyone can refute.

However, as the emperor Tianfu Emperor, he should put the people first, and he could not refute those remarks.

During this period of time, countless literati criticized Li Qing for not respecting etiquette and contrary to Confucianism. Emperor Tianfu felt extremely happy when he heard about it.

Wei Que nodded and said: "The voices criticizing Li Yushi in the literary world are getting louder and louder. According to the investigation of the servants, it is Zhu Jiuyuan, a scholar of the palace, who is behind the scenes."

Zhu family!

Emperor Tianfu narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly knew Zhu Jiuyuan's purpose for doing this.

Li Qing's unity of knowledge and action has dealt a fatal blow to Zhu Lu, the ancestor of the Zhu family, who knew first and acted first.

What Zhu Jiuyuan did was nothing more than to make everyone focus on the importance of the people and the importance of the monarch over the society, and ignore the theory of the unity of knowledge and action.

Although Emperor Tianfu was furious at Li Qing's disrespect for imperial power, he couldn't allow his reputation to be completely tarnished.

After all, in the future, Li Qing will have to perfect the Confucian way, make the Confucian way fully manifest, and form a group of humble forces.

Moreover, the Zhu family spread across the seven kingdoms of the human race, and they would not be loyal to any country at all. Everything was based on their own family interests.

It's time to tap, tap, too.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianfu said: "I will pass on my will and order Li Qing to also lead the Guozijian Doctor of Guozixue. From now on, report to the Guozijian."

There are still a few days until the Imperial College will speak, when great Confucian scholars will gather.

Guozijian's doctor of Guozixue is also eligible to participate in the lectures of the Guozijian.

If Li Qing engages in theoretical and ideological debates with these great Confucians, his reputation can be expanded to the greatest extent.

It is conducive to the dissemination of his theory, and it is beneficial for him to improve the Confucian way faster and make Confucianism fully manifest.

And it can also suppress the Zhu family through the unity of knowledge and action.

For Emperor Tianfu, he can achieve multiple goals.

As for Li Qingmin's idea that the king is more important than the society and the country, it is against the ritual system and the thought of the saint of Confucius. With the huge Confucian family and Kong Wei, the great Confucianist of the Confucian family, there will be no waves.

……

Three hours later, Guozijian.

It was the tenth time this month that Sima Jing, the head of the Jishan Academy, visited the Imperial Academy to offer wine to Kong Wei.

As soon as Kong Wei saw Sima Jing, he scolded angrily, "Sima Jing! Even if you are talking about breaking the sky, there is no way this old man will allow Li Qing to speak at the Imperial Supervision Committee!"

Sima Jing also glared at him, "Kong Wei, let me ask you. Li Qingna sacrificed his life for righteousness, but he extended and perfected Confucius' thought of benevolence! Is the theory of the unity of knowledge and action worth learning for all scholars in the world today? Oneness, can't we be called a gentleman!"

"So what!"

"Since Li Qing has extended and perfected Confucius' thoughts, since his theories have summarized the standards of a gentleman's behavior and dealing with things. Is he a Confucian master? If so, why don't you invite him to attend the Imperial Academy lecture!"

"Sage Confucius created Confucianism based on rites and music. Li Qing doesn't respect rites. How can I invite him to give lectures at the Imperial Academy!"

Sima Jing was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Kong Wei by the collar, cursing and questioning: "Well, you Kong's second child, you are really stubborn! Let me ask you, the people are the most important, and the community is second. The king is light. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Where are these two sentences wrong?"

Kong Wei couldn't break free, and he couldn't refute the words that the people are more important than the people and the country is second.

Since ancient times, dynasties can be changed and kings can be changed.

But only the mortal beings in this world, the people of this world cannot be changed.

It is precisely because of the people that there is a country, and the country has a king.

But Li Qing pointed directly at his heart and put the status of the people above the king.

Isn't this a violation of etiquette!
According to the ritual system, the king is supreme and is the Son of Heaven!
The importance of the Son of Heaven, the status of the Son of Heaven, how can it be inferior to the common people!
"What's the matter with pulling and pulling, Sima Jing, let me go!"

Kong Wei just wanted to leave quickly, and didn't want to see Sima Jing's stinky face again.

At the same time, he was also extremely entangled and complicated.

Because he also kind of agrees with Li Qingmin's thought that the king is more important than the country.

But agreeing with it means that it violates the ritual system, and it means admitting that there are flaws in the thought of the ancestor Kong Sheng.

It is precisely because of this consideration that even if Kong Wei is not a rotten Confucian who refuses to understand the past, he absolutely cannot accept Li Qing's thoughts.

As a descendant of Confucius, he absolutely cannot admit that his ancestors thought flawed.

While the two were arguing, Li Qing in a purple robe came over.

"Li Qing has seen the sacrificial wine."

"Li Qing?" The moment Kong Wei saw Li Qing, he immediately felt ashamed, as if he had been found out as a thief.

His eyes shifted subconsciously, and he didn't dare to look at Li Qing.

When Sima Jing saw someone calling himself Li Qing, his eyes lit up.

"You are Li Qing? Old man Sima Jing."

Li Qing was slightly taken aback, the old man in front of him who was tugging at Kong Wei's collar turned out to be Sima Jing, one of the most famous Confucian scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly saluted.

"Late student, I met Mr. Sima."

Kong Wei took advantage of Sima Jing's meeting with Li Qing, and quickly broke free.

"Li Qing, why are you here at the Imperial College?"

Among the people Kong Wei least wanted to meet now, Sima Jing ranked second, and Li Qing ranked first.

Because he couldn't convince himself that Li Qing's thinking was wrong.

You can only paralyze yourself with etiquette.

Li Qing replied: "Your Majesty ordered me to concurrently take the post of doctor of Guozixue in the Imperial Academy, and report to Jijiu today."

Doctor of Guozixue!
After hearing this, Sima Jing pointed at Kong Wei and burst out laughing.

"Kong Lao Er, Kong Lao Er, you are holding prejudices and the etiquette system of tens of thousands of years ago, and you don't want Li Qing to attend the lecture at the Imperial Academy.

It turned out to be better now, and His Majesty directly granted Li Qing the title of Doctor of Guozixue.

Without your invitation, I can still attend the lecture at the Imperial College! "

As he spoke, he looked at Li Qing appreciatively.

"Changqing, your theories and ideas. Whether it is giving up one's life for righteousness or the unity of knowledge and action, or whether the people are more important than the monarch and the community is second, this old man agrees very much!
Three days later, the Guozijian will say, the old man is looking forward to your verbal battle against the Confucian scholars.

In the debate of theories and ideas, he is better than the group of pedantic people who stick to the ancient system and do not think about making progress. "

Li Qing bowed slightly, "Mr. Sima is overrated."

When the two were talking, Kong Wei beside him was in extremely complicated mood.

Since Li Qing was awarded a doctorate degree in Guozixue by Emperor Tianfu, and he was able to attend the lecture at the Guozijian Conference, a big stone fell in his heart.

He was also angry and disapproved of his thoughts that violated the etiquette system.

This made him extremely contradictory.

"That's the end of the matter, we can only let nature take its course."

Kong Wei sighed inwardly.

After driving away Sima Jing, he led Li Qing to familiarize himself with the environment of the Imperial College.

……

Time passed, and it came to the day when countless literati in Dazhou had been looking forward to speaking at the Imperial College.

In the past few days, eight great Confucian scholars who have an extremely lofty status in the hearts of the literati of the Great Zhou came to Shengjing one after another.

There are also the heads of the major academies, leading the direct students of the academies to arrive.

I want to listen to the speeches of great Confucians at the Imperial College.

A strong academic atmosphere enveloped Shengjing, briefly dispelling the haze brought about by the border war.

Among the thousands of scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most favored ones gathered in the square specially used by the Imperial College for Confucian lectures.

The square is very large, accommodating thousands of scholars and still not crowded.

In the center of the square, there is a three-foot-tall statue of Confucius.

With the statue of Kong Sheng as the center, seventeen futons are placed.

Sima Jing, the head of Jishan Academy.

Wang Linfu, the head of Yangshan Academy.

Yang Yi, the mountain chief of Linhu Academy

Zhu Jiuyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Yang Ying, a scholar of the palace.

Guozijian sacrificed wine to Kong Wei.

Five Guozijian Guozixue doctors, including Li Qing.

There are also six other great Confucians who are well-known in the literary world.

All attend.

These seventeen people, except for Li Qing, are all highly respected Confucian scholars in the world.

Their disciples together almost included more than [-]% of the officials in the court.

If gathered together, it will become an extremely terrifying force.

However, literati look down on each other, and trying to get them together is as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Huh? Why is there such a young master?"

"You are so young, how can you participate in the speech of the Imperial College?"

"what on earth is it?"

Thousands of scholars who listened to the lectures of the Great Confucianism Association suddenly discovered that among a group of old men with bright heads and pale faces, there was a young and very excessive teacher.

They couldn't help discussing curiously.

"Li Qing! He is the Li Qing who is the third grade!"

When one of them recognized Li Qing, he exclaimed loudly.

There was an uproar immediately.

"What! Li Qing is not qualified to participate in the lectures of the Imperial College even if he wins Sanyuan!"

"Such a young man, even though Sanyuan is the first, he is still far behind the great Confucians. Maybe he just came here to record what the great Confucians said today."

"Yes, I think so too."

"No, you came from other places. I didn't know that Li Qing is the most famous person in Shengjing now. Almost all the scholars in Shengjing have bought a copy of his handed down records."

"Indeed, now Li Qing is in the limelight in Shengjing. His individual ideas, such as sacrificing his life for righteousness, are indeed good, but some ideas are deviant and contrary to etiquette. Now everyone in Shengjing is shouting and being criticized by countless people. No matter from In any respect, he is not qualified to participate in the lectures of the Great Confucianism Society."

"What is the handed down record? What ideas did he put forward that deviated from the orthodoxy and violated the etiquette system?"

When people are talking.

A student of Guozijian said: "I am studying at Guozixue. I heard from my master that His Majesty conferred on Li Qing a Doctor of Guozixue from Guozijian. He is indeed qualified to participate in today's conference."

When everyone heard the words, they were shocked again, feeling extremely incredible.

Doctors of Guozixue in Guozijian have always been great Confucians who have read poetry and books and are well-known all over the world.

But Li Qing was really too young.

It's not convincing at all.

Just when they were shocked and talking a lot, Kong Wei, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy, spoke.

"It's another year for the Imperial Academy to speak, and the old man welcomes you on behalf of the Imperial Academy."

"I hope that all students can gain something from this lecture."

Kong Wei's voice was clearly heard by everyone through a small sound reinforcement array in the square.

He turned around, faced the statue of Confucius in the center of the square, and solemnly said:
"Three worships to the saint, thanks!"

Everyone got up one after another, respectfully followed Kong Wei and bowed deeply.

"Two thanks!"

Everyone bowed again.

"Three thanks!"

After paying homage to the statue of Confucius three times, more than a dozen Confucian scholars sat on the futons.

While everyone was watching, Kong Wei announced: "The first topic of debate is, what should the king do if he wants to make the country strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

It's an old-fashioned, but timeless question.

Scholars in every era are looking for ways to govern the country.

But until today, no one has been able to find a way to govern the country that can ensure long-term stability in the country.

Even Li Qing, who has been a man for two generations, has seen the expositions of many Chinese sages in another world on the way of governing the country, and has seen the way of governing the country in the age of science and technology, but he still cannot fully answer this debate.

But there is one thing Li Qing is very clear about.

He must give an answer as perfect as possible in the context of today's era.

It is necessary to be better than other great Confucians on top of all the debate topics spoken by the Imperial College.

Only in this way can we formally start to make a statement at the end of the Guozijian meeting!

(End of this chapter)
