The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 386 Great Confucian Kong Yingda

The news that His Majesty the Emperor decided to personally determine the mainstream school of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty this year through discussions among hundreds of schools of thought spread quickly.

Since the founding of the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty, the common people of the Tang Dynasty have gradually become wiser and have developed both literary and martial arts styles.

Not only the scholars of the world, but also countless ordinary people are paying attention to the biennial Day of Discussing Taoism by Hundreds of Scholars.

Every time hundreds of schools discuss Taoism, it will attract countless eyes.

It can be said that the discussion among hundreds of schools of thought was a grand literary event of the Tang Dynasty.

There is also a lot of controversy in the mainstream academic thinking of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to the excellent soil for ideological development, each school of thought has developed very well and has its own supporters among the people.

And Li Chengdao never restricted the development of his thoughts.

Therefore, when the news spread, countless people, scholars, and famous figures were shocked by the news.

The first ones to fight were Confucianism and Legalism.

Confucianism and Legalism were the winners of the first two debates on Tao respectively, so they were also regarded as having the best chance of becoming the leaders of academic thought in the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is that after becoming the mainstream school of thought in the academy, you will be qualified to compile teaching materials and become the unified teaching materials for students entering the Tang Dynasty Royal Academy, which will be passed down forever!

According to the current news released by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites plans to compile its own teaching materials for students to study first.

But after the textbooks compiled by the Ministry of Rites came out, many literati and sages could not sit still.

Originally, they had some expectations.

But after the textbooks compiled by the Ministry of Rites came out,

Well, that’s bullshit!

"It's simply misleading!"

I don’t know how many old literati were so angry that they stamped their feet and beat their chests after learning about the imperial edict and seeing the textbooks from the Ministry of Rites.

Then because of this incident, the Ministry of Rites was criticized.

Especially Li Gang, the Minister of Rites, and Du Ruhui, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The two of them are responsible for the compilation of textbooks.

In just two months, these two veterans received many letters from their former classmates and friends.

Some of them warned him tactfully in their letters to choose books carefully and not to mislead others.

Some simply rebuked and cursed in their letters.

Fortunately, Du Ruhui himself was a person with a tough personality, and with the instigation of a certain emperor behind his back, the veteran minister also took the risk.

He led the Ministry of Etiquette to scold those who criticized them from a distance. He could sum it up in one sentence: You can do it, otherwise you will be such a jerk!

Not to mention, after the two sides cursed each other, many great sages in the government and in the opposition were really exposed.

Not only Confucianism, but also Legalism, Mingjia, Yin-Yang, Military, etc., all the schools of thought were mixed in.

There were even many outstanding sages who went to the palace in person to ask for an audience with the emperor.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, Kong Yingda, the former Imperial College of the Imperial Academy, is asking to see Your Majesty in front of the palace gate."

In the imperial study room, the eunuch Gao Huai bowed and made a report.

At this time, Li Chengdao was busy practicing calligraphy in the study room. Hearing these words, he jumped slightly, and then said: "Good guy, even this big fish has exploded this time."

Who is Kong Yingda?

A rare scholar in the dynasty, a true great scholar!

This person is the thirty-first grandson of Confucius and can be said to be a descendant of a saint.

He lived through the Sui Dynasty and served as a wine minister in the Imperial Academy in the early Tang Dynasty.

However, before Li Chengdao came to the throne, he resigned and returned home to study academics at home.

According to the original historical trajectory, he should have continued to serve as an official in the government.

But after Li Chengdao changed history, his life trajectory was also changed. However, although he resigned and returned home, his knowledge was extremely profound and he is now recognized as a master of Confucianism.

It is said that this old man is seventy-six years old this year. Li Chengdao thought he had died long ago, but he never expected that he was still alive and well.

Moreover, he was shocked by Li Gang's insults in the air.

"Du Qing is in big trouble now."

Li Chengdao glanced at Du Ruhui, who had a stiff face in the imperial study, and smiled heartlessly.

Because in terms of seniority in the officialdom, Kong Yingda is one generation higher than Du Ruhui.

Even though Du Ruhui was almost sixty years old, in front of the old man, he was still a junior who bowed and saluted.

If Kong Yingda leaned on his cane and yelled at Du Ruhui, it would be hard for the latter to talk back.

After hearing this, Du Ruhui was so sad that he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have harmed me."

Li Chengdao can trigger a fight among hundreds of schools, and the ones taking the blame are the Ministry of Rites and Du Ruhui.

The great eunuch Gao Huai said with a smile: "In fact, Mr. Kong has already visited Li Shangshu's house, and in the end it was Shangshu himself who sent him out of the house.

As for whether there was a quarrel between the two at home, it is unknown. "

It turns out that Li Gang has already suffered.

Li Chengdao smiled secretly in his heart.

After laughing twice in his heart, Li Chengdao nodded and said to Gao Huai: "Go in person and bring Mr. Kong to the imperial study.

"Yes!"

The great eunuch Gao Huai bowed and retreated.

After about half an hour, Gao Huai left and returned.

But behind him, he was leading an old man with white hair and beard, holding a cane.

The old man was dressed in a Confucian robe. Although ordinary, he was very clean and tidy.

And this old man was supported by an old man who was estimated to be about fifty years old and whose hair was slightly gray.

Li Chengdao took a look and judged that the older man should be the famous Confucian Kong Yingda in history.

The younger old man may be his son or nephew, but he is not young anyway.

"You two, this is our monarch of the Tang Dynasty."

Perhaps seeing the slow reaction of these two people, the eunuch Gao Huai coughed and gave a kind reminder.

Upon hearing this, the older man tremblingly handed the crutch to his son or nephew who was supporting him.

Then he wanted to kowtow to the ground and salute: "Hengshui Kong Yingda, pay homage to the Holy Emperor of Wude."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chengdao waved his hand and signaled the eunuch Gao Huai to support him, eliminating the need to bow down.

He really couldn't bear to have an old man who was old enough to be his grandfather bow to him.

"Old people don't need to be polite."

Li Chengdao smiled and waved his hand, indicating to the little eunuch waiting nearby to bring a stool so that Kong Yingda could sit down and reply.

After all, this old man is too old.
