The heavens start from saving Daming

Respect Confucianism alone and dismiss hundreds of schools of thought.

This is the most glorious moment of Confucianism in history.

It is precisely because of this brilliance of Confucianism that the result is that Zhongtu has not thought about making progress since then, and has no power to expand outside the country, and even has no power to protect itself, and has repeatedly suffered foreign invasions.

Li Yunze, who has experienced a long river of history, sees these things very clearly.

This is the real reason why he doesn't give face no matter who comes to intercede.

Compared with the sufferings suffered by the people of Middle Earth in later generations, no one's face is of any use to Li Yunze.

He is not giving Dong Zhongshu face, but the Gongyang faction, a Confucian anomaly, has the value of existence.

Abandoning Confucianism and letting a hundred schools of thought come together is his goal.

Dong Zhongshu, who looked a bit ignorant, walked out of Weiyang Palace with frivolous steps.

Yan Yi and others who were anxiously waiting outside immediately stepped forward and surrounded him, "What do you say? Does the emperor have any excuses?"

These days, even Yan Yi couldn't see Li Yunze, let alone other Confucianists.

On the contrary, when Dong Zhongshu came over, he just applied for an audience and was summoned in a blink of an eye. The Confucianists naturally had great hopes for him.

"Everyone."

Dong Zhongshu, who calmed down his emotions, sighed and said, "Your Majesty said that Confucianism should not be left behind."

As soon as this remark came out, all the Confucian scholars around suddenly felt mournful, and some even fell to the ground directly, crying loudly.

Yan Yi's body swayed, and he raised his hand to rub his forehead vigorously, but he still felt that his eyes were dark and the future was dark.

This is a big man, and the emperor of the big man wants to deal with Confucianism, what can they do?
You can't just rise up.

"Brother Zhongshu." Yan Yi asked with a desolate expression, "What did your Majesty say, even if it is death, I have to wait until I die to understand."

"Yes, yes, there must be a reason for everything. Is it possible that Confucianism can be directly destroyed because of a guard?"

"Your Majesty said it." Dong Zhongshu said slowly at this time, "It's not impossible to keep it, but there are a few things to do."

"Your Majesty said that Confucianism wants to change its teachings, and how to change it is up to His Majesty." Dong Zhongshu added, "Your Majesty also said that it is a good thing that there are teachings and no distinctions can be left."

All the Confucian scholars nodded and responded, "Your Majesty can change whatever you want, and we will have nothing to say."

Confucianism is facing a critical juncture of life and death, not to mention changing the doctrine, even if Confucius changed his surname, they would all recognize it!
"Your Majesty also said." Dong Zhongshu followed up, "He doesn't like the name of Confucianism, so he must change his name."

"this."

Everyone was slightly suspicious. If the name was changed, would it still be Confucianism?

"It's doable."

Yan Yi, whose eyes were shining, said eagerly, "Everyone, this is a matter of life and death. As long as the orthodoxy can be passed on, changing the name is nothing. Even if we change the name, we are still Confucian children in our hearts."

Everyone even claimed that it was true, expressing that as long as Confucianism can survive, it should be changed to a different name.

Dong Zhongshu looked at Yan Yi with a little pity, and then said the last condition.

"Your Majesty said that of all the schools of Confucianism, only the Gongyang School is allowed to remain."

Confucian scholars'(°ω°)／'

The members of the Gongyang faction looked extremely weird, as if they were holding a puff of breath in their hearts, and wanted to vent it, but they were concerned about the current environment, so they could only endure it forcibly, which resulted in extremely weird expressions on their faces.

Confucian scholars of other schools, on the other hand, look as pale as if they were not with their parents, and feel that life is really meaningless.

"This"

Yan Yi rubbed his face vigorously, then turned to look at Gong Sunhong, "Guang Luxun, what do you think about this?"

Gongsun Hong responded calmly, "Since His Majesty said it himself, what else can we do, we can only agree."

Of course he wanted to agree, because he also cured "Gongyang Zhuan".

"It's doable."

Hu Wusheng, who was once a doctor, even shouted loudly, "From now on, there will be no Confucianism in the world, only Gongyang!"

Well, this one is also from Ram Pie.

In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, and when he deposed the Hundred Schools, he actually respected the Gongyang School.

It's just that later, the people who were sent to forge ancient texts gradually stole the inheritance.

Confucianism quickly split here. Because the school survived, the Confucian students of the Gongyang School immediately changed their positions to support the emperor's innovation of Confucianism.

However, people from other schools are desperately refuting, trying to fight for their own school's last breath.

In the face of fierce debate, the real bigwigs, such as Yan Yi, Gong Sunhong and others did not join in.

The reason is also very simple, because they know very clearly that the emperor has already made a decision, and what they say here at this time is meaningless nonsense!

Li Yunze didn't follow up on Confucianism, he just needed to pay attention.

If they can complete the innovation themselves, they can allow the Ram faction to pass on in a different form.

But if it can't be done well, then it's over with the Ram Pie.

This era is not dominated by the corrupt Confucians of later generations. Confucianism at that time had all kinds of dross as long as they could imagine.

However, corrupt Confucians dare to do anything that violates conscience and morality, and they do it with confidence.

'I know you're right, but let's put the truth aside' Confucianism!

For the big men of this era, the aftertaste of letting go of a hundred schools of thought is still there, and Li Yunze is willing to give them a chance.

"Dongfang Shuo."

Li Yunze summoned Lang Guan, "Approximately how many students from various factions inside and outside Chang'an city are there?"

Dongfang Shuo, who had a good brain, quickly calculated in his mind, and then saluted, "Your Majesty, when the imperial examination was held before, there were thousands of applicants from each school. Now that the imperial examination is over, some of them have dispersed. , but I guess
At this time, there were at least [-] disciples of various schools inside and outside Chang'an City. "

"More than 3000 people?"

Li Yunze rubbed his chin, "Is there a big boss among the schools?"

"This." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, "Many seniors of the school, when the late emperor was in power, they were not recruited according to the order. Your majesty's imperial examination."

When Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi were in power, they also specially ordered those famous bigwigs from various factions to be officials.

It's a pity that many people cherish feathers, or simply put it for fame, and never come to Chang'an at all.

Li Yunze's holding of the imperial examination is indeed a groundbreaking initiative.

But let these prestigious bigwigs sit down for an exam with a group of juniors, they can't afford to lose this person.

"I see."

Li Yunze sneered, then said, "I want to set up a forum in Dongshi."

Dongfang Shuo with a puzzled expression said he did not understand, "Your Majesty, what forum?"

"Hundreds of forums."

Li Yunze said slowly, "Students from all schools can sign up to come on stage, explain their own school's teachings and knowledge, talk about their own school's works, etc."

Immediately afterwards, he took out a carrot and a big stick, "I will arrange a ranking list based on the popularity of each school, determine the ranking of each school, and announce it to the world."

'Hiss~~~'

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Shuo immediately trembled.

What is Wen Wu first and Wu Er second?
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all schools of thought have used their brains to compete for who's better name.

At this time, the emperor is engaged in rankings, and the various schools must be crazy.

What's this?This is to characterize the position of one's own school in history!
Needless to say, the bigwigs of the various schools who got the news will inevitably rush over in person like crazy, and they will also bring the books that are not circulated in each school to preach.

If this is not a high ranking, or is lower than the ranking of the deadly enemy, then after death, there will be no face to meet the ancestors of the past generations.

Needless to say, each school must work hard.

"understand?"

Looking at the foolish Dongfang Shuo, Li Yunze laughed and scolded, "Now that you understand, why don't you hurry up and go to work."

"Here~~~"

Dongfang Shuo, who came back to his senses, immediately saluted Li Yunze.

Then he lay down on the ground very simply, and shouted, "Follow His Majesty's will, I will get out~~~"

Dongfang Shuo rolled and rolled out of the hall under the stunned gaze of all the officials and guards.

The smiling Li Yunze shook his head, not thinking about it at all.

Dongfang Shuo was famous for his humor in history, and Sima Qian called him "The Hero of Funny" in "Historical Records".

It's not that he's really that natural, it's probably a way of doing things.

"Hundreds of forums."

Li Yunze's forum for a hundred schools of thought was not for the purpose of dominating one school and dismissing a hundred schools of thought.

He knows very well that no matter which school's teachings are so good that they break through the skyline and can be executed perfectly, but as long as one school dominates, it will gradually rot as time goes by.

There is no way around this kind of thing, after all, born villains and greedy people are everywhere.

The real purpose of setting up a hundred schools of thought forum is to integrate the strengths of a hundred schools of thought so that all aspects can develop.

Only with competition can we have the motivation to continue to grow.

Otherwise, it would be an oil cough cough that has been losing money year after year!Nothing nothing.

Supporting the growth of hundreds of schools and allowing them to enter an environment of healthy competition is what Li Yunze wants to do.

As Li Yunze expected, when Dongfang Shuo passed on the news about the Baijia forum, the apprentices of the hundreds of schools who had gathered inside and outside Chang'an City immediately exploded.

It was bad luck for Confucianism to talk about after dinner, but this talk was quickly replaced by the forum of hundreds of schools.

After being shocked, the first thing the students of each school did was to immediately write letters to the bigwigs in the school.

Those with an impatient personality immediately packed up their luggage and hurried to find it in person.

Ranked and competitive.

If the big boss didn't come and his own school ranked at the bottom, then he would really be ashamed to see others in the future.

Confucianism, which is still quarreling, is also splitting rapidly.

Those schools such as the Guliang School that have been named and requested to be canceled are also desperately trying to shake people, trying to use the forum of a hundred schools to give a breath of soul recovery.

If you can win the number one ranking, the Son of Heaven will not go against the will of the people of the world and forcibly cancel it.

Dongfang Shuo, who was assigned by the emperor to be in charge of this matter, quickly became popular in the shortest possible time.
