I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 459: The great scholar’s ​​death remonstrance: Your Majesty’s new policies are crazy and stupid. They are not like a wise king, but a king who will destroy the country!
This is the normal state of reform and new policies: the stronger the backlash from vested interest groups, the more correct the changes are!
"Mr. Wei Ge, seeing that you are angry, you must have a lot to say, so I am willing to 'debate' with you today..."

"If you don't understand why, I will let you speak freely today. No matter what disrespectful words you said today, I will not blame you."

"Come on, Fan Ke, write down your ink and write down today's debate between me and Mr. Wei Ge, word for word. If you miss a word, I will kill your whole family!"

Liu He rarely showed his tyrant side, and there was a trace of ferocity under his delicate and handsome face.

"No!" Fan Ke hurriedly studied the ink and spread the paper.

"Your Majesty, I am the Imperial Academy Order. I can explain it to Mr. Wei Ge first." Wang Shi was afraid that the emperor would suffer a loss, so he quickly stood up to defend him.

"I am also willing to help explain to Your Majesty." Guang Luxun and Gong Sui also stood up, very anxious.

Wang Shi and Gong Sui were also famous Confucian scholars. Although they also had "criticisms" of the emperor's imperial examination system, their "love for licking the calf" was even more intense.

The two of them watched the emperor step by step until today, and knew that the emperor's ambitions were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Moreover, before Wei Xian and others came in, the emperor "asked" them to "help".

Publicly and privately, they all now have to find ways to help the emperor defend Wei Xian.

The emperor was very skillful in using intrigues in the court, and he could always win over his courtiers in debates, which made them very reassured and admired.

However, what the emperor now has to face is Wei Xian, who is proficient in Confucian classics, and the debate is about Confucianism and Confucian classics. If he wants to win, it may still be difficult to reach the sky.

On the one hand, they were afraid that the emperor would lose the argument because of haste. Not only would he lose his majesty, but he would also lose the room to propose new policies.

On the other hand, they were also afraid that the emperor would become angry because he could not win the argument and kill Wei Xian in a fit of anger. This would be a true tyrant.

No matter which result it is, it is the big man's loss.

The two of them stood up to resist Wei Xian at this time. No matter whether they won or lost in the final result, both sides still had room to turn around.

But what Wang Shi and Gong Sui didn't expect was that the emperor was unmoved. He stood up from the couch in silence and came to the palace in a few steps.

The meaning expressed by this small move was very obvious. The emperor wanted to end up arguing with Wei Xian.

"Your Majesty..." The anxious Wang Shi wanted to dissuade him again.

"Gong Qing, Wang Fu, do you think I can't argue with Mr. Wei Ge?"

Wang Shi and Gong Sui showed embarrassed expressions when their concerns were revealed. They didn't expect that the emperor would really leave no way out.

"I don't dare, it's just..."

"Since you two have no such intention, please sit back, lest I get the wrong idea."

"Wei Ge is always a scholar. If I can't even convince him, how can I possibly convince the world's scholars?"

"..." Gong Sui and Wang Shi couldn't say anything more. They could only salute and sat back on the couch angrily again.

At the same time, on the couch on the right, Zhang Anshi, Bingji and Liu De were also unusually silent, without any intention of dissuading them.

There was even some deep-hidden schadenfreude in their eyes—maybe it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the emperor fell into trouble.

The emperor is scheming, good at plotting, and eloquent, but when discussing Confucianism with a great scholar like Wei Xian, he has no chance of winning.

Sit back and watch the emperor's new defeats and setbacks for the time being, which can help dissipate some of the unhappiness in his chest.

They cannot contradict the emperor. It would be best if someone stood up to contradict the emperor for them.

Liu He, who had already stood up, was taller than them all and had guessed what they were thinking, so he had to argue even more.

If you can't win in the Greenhouse Palace, how can you win in the Shiqu Pavilion later? All the great scholars in the world are on their way to Chang'an City.

"Mr. Wei Ge, you can now tell me why you are so angry and unkind about the imperial examination system." Liu He asked.

"Your Majesty wants to implement this imperial examination system. He is extremely crazy and stupid. He is not like a wise king!" Wei Xian said angrily.

For a moment, all the ministers were shocked. They did not expect Wei Xian to be so outspoken. This was simply offensive.

However, when they looked at the emperor in shock, they found that the emperor did not look angry at all, and there was actually a bit of a smile between his eyebrows.

To say that I am extremely crazy and insane, that I am not like a wise king... This is too cliché, it is simply nothing new. "Tell me, Mr. Wei Ge, what's wrong with me, what's so stupid about me, what's so wrong about me, why am I no longer like a wise king?" Liu He still said with a smile.

Wei Xian didn't expect that the young emperor had such tolerance and didn't look angry at all, and he felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

Maybe the emperor really had great talent and great strategy, as Bingji and Zhang Anshi said, and wanted to achieve the goal of enriching the people and strengthening the country through reforms and new policies?
No matter how much he changes other things, Wei Xian can turn a blind eye.

But if the imperial examination system is changed as it is now, he must stand up and speak for the Confucian scholars in the world.

Wei Xian originally thought that the imperial examination system mentioned by the emperor would be similar to the imperial examination system a few months ago.

First, there is the imperial examination and then the imperial examination. The examination is still based on Confucian classics, but the interview in the archeological examination will be changed to a written examination, and then the candidates will be admitted on a merit-based basis.

Who could have imagined that the emperor would be so crazy and change his mind randomly?

Not only should the official school teach the knowledge of the humble schools of thought, but also the knowledge of the hundreds of schools of thought should be tested in the imperial examination.

Can a Confucian scholar taught in this way still be called a Confucian scholar?Can the officials selected in this way still follow the principle of "Judgment in the Spring and Autumn Period"?
This is not to elect all the Confucian scholars in the world to be used by the court and the emperor. It is simply to destroy the situation of "Confucianism is supreme" created by Dong Zi.

"Mr. Wei Ge, why haven't you said anything yet?" Liu He urged coldly.

"After Emperor Xiaowu, everyone in the world took Confucianism as their teacher..."

"But your Majesty actually wants the junior officials from the government office to give lectures at Xiang School today. Doesn't he want to imitate the violent Qin Dynasty and treat officials as teachers? Isn't this not like a wise king, or something?"

"Dong Zi 'deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism', but His Majesty introduced the learning of hundreds of schools of thought into Xiang School, allowing Confucian students to be misled by their meager knowledge. Isn't it crazy?"

"Your Majesty actually uses the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought as the standard for selecting officials in the imperial examination. Isn't this turning the world's Confucian scholars into followers of hundreds of schools of thought? Isn't this considered foolish?"

Wei Xian's voice trembled, and he kept putting forward his opinions without any fear.

His straight waist was like a sword stuck in the greenhouse hall, giving him a somewhat tragic atmosphere.

Zhang Anshi, Bingji and others were a little embarrassed for a moment, but they didn't expect Wei Xian to speak so directly without leaving any room.

Several of them kept saying that they wanted to be critics, but they did not dare to remonstrate in front of the emperor. How could they not feel ashamed?
Wei Xian was so excited when he spoke that his foam flew half a foot away. It was not until he ran out of breath that he had to stop panting and wait for the emperor to speak.

Although the emperor just said something very generous, the king's heart is unpredictable. How does he know whether his words will anger the emperor and make him kill him?
But Wei Xian was not afraid. If the emperor killed him, it would definitely arouse the sentiments of Confucian scholars all over the world, and it would be even more impossible to implement the new imperial examination system.

The rest of the people in the palace did not dare to say a word. Their fearful eyes moved back and forth on the faces of Wei Xian and the Emperor, waiting for the Emperor's words.

However, the emperor's wrath they imagined did not come, but they saw the emperor smiling and applauding.

He didn't look offended at all - Wei Xian wanted to be a martyr, and Liu He wouldn't let him.

"Mr. Wei Ge's words are really well said and so righteous. They almost make me feel ashamed."

Liu He deliberately emphasized the word "almost".

The courtiers heard what the emperor meant, and they breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

It seems that the emperor is determined to hit Wei Xian, the pillar of the imperial court, today.

I just don’t know whether the emperor’s head is harder or Wei Xian’s waist is harder.

"Wei Qing, you said that I take officials as my teachers because I want to follow in the footsteps of the violent Qin... Then I would like to ask Wei Qing, who is Zhong Ni's teacher?" Liu He asked with a smile.

"Everyone knows that Confucius had four teachers, namely Tanzi, Changhong, Shixiang, and Laodan." Wei Xian said.

"Mr. Wei Ge is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I admire him very much, so I dare to ask what the identities of these four people are?"

The angry Wei Xian just opened his mouth to answer the emperor's question, but when he opened his mouth, the words suddenly failed to come out.

His mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again and again, but the words stuck in his throat could not come out no matter what.

This "Zou Lu Da Ru" realized that something was wrong, and he had indeed fallen into a pit.
