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

Chapter 390 A hundred schools of thought contend (Part )

"Oh?"

Changsun Wuji looked around after hearing this, and soon he saw Jia Xu sitting on a straw mat, chatting and laughing with the other Legalists around him without any pretense.

It seems that he has become a leader among the disciples of Legalism.

Seemingly noticing Changsun Wuji's gaze, Jia Xu turned around and looked at Changsun Wuji.

Although Quan Dang nodded slightly to say hello, Changsun Wuji could clearly see the provocative look in his eyes.

"Ah."

Changsun Wuji smiled faintly and nodded in response.

As one of the right-hand men of Emperor Li Chengdao, Jia Xu and Changsun Wuji had more or less political conflicts.

Nowadays, when hundreds of schools of thought talk about Taoism, both of them are leaders of their respective sects.

They will all appear when the discussion is about to take place.

At this time, Ji Qili looked at Jie Zizi in surprise. Seeing that the man was dignified and elegant, he asked privately: "Who is this man?"

The Confucian disciple next to him introduced in a low voice: "This is the chief minister of the dynasty! Secretary of the Three Provinces! His Majesty's closest minister, Changsun Wuji!"

"How does your knowledge compare to that of Jia Xu just now?"

Ji Qili asked.

The man snorted and said, "Of course Mr. Chief Assistant is superior."

Because he knew the principle of literati looking down on each other, Ji Qili didn't take it too seriously and still looked at Changsun Wuji carefully.

Unexpectedly, his gaze was noticed by Changsun Wuji, who walked over with a smile on his face.

After a faint smile, he asked: "This little brother is so unfamiliar. May I ask where you are from and what school you studied?"

Within the same school of thought, there are also different ideas.

It is probably based on Confucianism and then creates a new school of thought on this basis. This is a common thing for every school of thought.

Ji Qili was startled when the chief minister took the initiative to talk to him.

He quickly bowed his hands and said stammeringly: "Ji Qili, a grassroots citizen from Shanyang County, has met Mr. Shofu.

Those who studied at the lower level were from the Bu family, that is, Zixia. "

Bu family lineage?

After listening to Ji Qili's words, the Confucian disciples around him looked at Ji Qili with strange eyes.

Why, because the thoughts of the Bu family are relatively ‘alternative’ among Confucianists.

It does not focus on "denying oneself and restoring rituals", but teaches people to learn the words, deeds and actions of ancient sages.

Rather, it advocates "advancing with the times" and not blindly applying the classics of sages.

This is a very disgraceful thing for the Confucian disciples who advocate the doctrine of saints.

Therefore, in the current era, Confucian disciples have mixed praise and disapproval of the Bu family.

No, after Ji Qili said this, the Confucian disciples around him inadvertently distanced themselves from him.

But only Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, as if he had met a rare talent.

Under the surprised gazes of other Confucian disciples, Changsun Wuji smiled and said to Ji Qili: "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring a mat with me. Do you mind if I sit with you?"

"This is the honor of the grassroots!"

Ji Qili said happily and quickly invited Changsun Wuji.

All the Confucian scholars were immediately envious and jealous of Ji Qili. What a blessing and honor it is to sit at the same table as Mr. Chief Assistant!

After the two sat down, they started talking to each other.

Ji Qili vaguely realized that Changsun Wuji's knowledge was extremely profound, which astonished him.

In addition, Changsun Wuji's ideas seemed to coincide with his, which made him even more excited.

In a state of excitement, Ji Qili mustered up the courage to put forward his immature thoughts.

"Wan Sheng believes that having numerous countries in the world is not a long-term strategy after all, and this situation will definitely be terminated by "great unification."

The Tang Dynasty will one day annex all the countries in the world! "

Ji Qili said with bright eyes.

After Changsun Wuji listened, he remained calm on the surface, but secretly he agreed with this statement.

Because Ji Qili's vision is very extraordinary, what he said is exactly the path that Datang will embark on in the future.

"Sanyang, Ji Qili."

Changsun Wuji secretly remembered this name in his heart.

He knew that although the late Confucian student in front of him was unremarkable at first glance, in his opinion he was a rare talent.

It seems that he must keep such talents for the emperor, how can he let them be exposed to the government and the public?

As time went by, more and more disciples from various sects came to the forum.

"There are so many people."

As the children from hundreds of families arrived one after another, Ji Qili was very surprised.

Because he looked around and felt that there were probably no less than two thousand people from hundreds of families gathered here.

From ancient times to the present, there has almost never been such a lively scene among literati!

After thinking about it, Ji Qili asked Changsun Wuji: "Master Chief Assistant, I have so many Confucian disciples. Isn't it no longer a question of getting four "major" places?"

"It's hard to say."

Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly.

Although he is also a disciple of Confucianism, he also knows that traditional Confucianism has its limitations.

There is no problem in using it to educate the world and persuade people to do good, but this time the emperor Li Chengdao's request was to "make the country rich and strong."

What's more, it still wants to become the mainstream thought taught to countless students and is the foundation of all generations, so of course it is more cautious.

At this point, the legalists, Mohists, military strategists, and political strategists have great advantages.

Ji Qili was very surprised after hearing Changsun Wuji's words.

Is it possible for him, the Confucian scholar, to lose the election?

To him, this was simply unbelievable!

Seeing the surprised look on Ji Qili's face, Changsun Wuji sighed slightly and briefly introduced Li Chengdao to the more appreciative junior.

"My Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is a hard-working king. In fact, what your Majesty loves most is the law."

To be fair, Li Chengdao never mentioned which academic school he preferred.

However, his recent actions include suppressing the monopoly of wealth by nobles, prohibiting land annexation, rewarding people based on merit, breaking the monopoly of imperial examinations, etc.

This is undoubtedly one of the core principles of the legalists' "determination of divisions and ending of disputes."

Fortunately, Li Chengdao did not object to Confucian etiquette, otherwise Confucianism would really not have anything to argue about this time.
