A group of Confucianists are all representatives of various academic families, they will show a very high demeanor in front of those Confucian scholars or scholars, will show unattainable arrogance, and will have a very high level of cultivation when lecturing, making people feel that they are immortal bones.

But when it comes to academic seminars, when it comes to the disputes between the previous academic schools, one by one they will expose their true colors, and everyone will be like being beaten with chicken blood, purely arguing for the sake of quarreling, and doing things for the sake of doing it.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites has already prepared, before the opening of this academic seminar, I will send people to watch, once there is any dispute, someone will come out to maintain order, and so these academic bigwigs are pulled back to their seats, but still no one is convinced, there is no way to do anything, there is no first martial arts, no one genre is convincing enough to make everyone accept, this is a matter of value orientation, you can't say that science is not good because others are studying science, However, it cannot be said that the study of mind or other schools of thought does not have a reason for its existence.

It's a problem that doesn't have a solution.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "What is the purpose of the imperial court organizing this kind of academic seminar, is it purely to let these Confucian academic masters come here to fight, and they are harder than whose fists are harder?" ”

It is said that Xu Ru on the stage is the most arrogant, picking up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and throwing it on others, and even throwing it at Ji Ning's side, but the accuracy is really bad, and it didn't hit Ji Ning's body.

"Xu Laosan, no matter how presumptuous you are, don't talk to the court and deprive you of your Confucian name!" Someone in the audience threatened.

"What qualifications do you have to deprive Lao Tzu of his Confucian name? Lao Tzu's Confucian name is much higher than that of you juniors......"

Ji Ning felt the deep malice of this group of Confucian students, he came to listen to Confucian thought and see the highest level of science, psychology and miscellaneous science today, but he didn't come to see this group of people quarreling and fighting.

Each Confucian, not only has his own literary name, but also has a Confucian name, to put it bluntly, in science, mind or miscellaneous thought has a higher attainment, will be certified by the Temple of Literature, to obtain the title of "Great Confucian", with the title of Confucian, it is basically a pass to all parts of the Great Yong Dynasty, where you can open the altar to teach, and you can even charge a certain fee to those students who come to listen to the lectures, as "carriage and horse fees" and "tea fees", you can get a lot of silver every time.

It's like a business.

With a Confucian name, many people will flock to it, but if there is no literary name, it will be ignored wherever you go.

In the entire Dayong Dynasty, there were many people with Confucian names, but the total number of people who could be called "Great Confucianism" was only twenty, and most of them no longer came out to lecture.

This Xu Ru is one of the great Confucians, and he is very famous in the Confucian academic circles, so he is so conceited.

"Silence!" In the end, Liu Ning, a scholar of Hanlin, finally couldn't help but roar angrily, and immediately suppressed the momentum of the Confucian people who were arguing, and the scene returned to quiet.

Everyone didn't speak, looking at Liu Ning, wanting to see what Liu Ning had to say.

Liu Ning said coldly: "The imperial court invites you to come here to sit and discuss, not to let you quarrel, on the question of which is higher or lower between psychology and science, the imperial court has no conclusion, since you all feel that your doctrine should be regarded as Zhengshuo, then you should come up with your own reasons, is it meaningful to quarrel here?" ”

Even though many people present were not convinced, they still remained silent, after all, this is a Hanlin attendant, and they have a certain influence in the court, although they have a high Confucian reputation, but at best they are just a Confucian student.

There will also be Confucian scholars in politics, but because their research and learning are very pedantic, it is difficult for them to have high attainments in the court, but they may make achievements in the Temple of Literature, so even if these people can be promoted in the examination, most of them will choose to enter the Temple of Literature rather than enter the court as officials.

Liu Ning is also angry enough, with his fame, he actually can't suppress these academic bigwigs in front of him.

He waved his hand and asked Hu Jiangzhuo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, to come up and speak, Hu Jiangzhuo straightened his beard, and then walked up to the podium and said in front of everyone: "The imperial court will see the foreign envoys next year, it is for all nations to come to the court, and then the imperial court will have a Confucianism debate, in order to show that our Great Yong Dynasty is contending with a hundred schools of thought in the academic community, if anyone can perform well in this debate, not only can I be named by Confucianism in the Great Yong Dynasty, but His Majesty will also enshrine this person as the master of Confucianism in my Great Yong Dynasty, and the first ...... of Confucianism."

In a word, it also explains why the imperial court held this gathering.

The court is to show the people of the foreign country the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the court, for the sake of the face of the court, these Confucians were just pulled out to participate in a debate, as puppets, and finally were named a grandmaster in a similar way, and then given the title of first.

Scholars have a good face, and these people who are engaged in academia are no exception, and when they heard this, those great Confucian figures all showed smug expressions, as if the titles of "grandmaster" and "first" were already at their fingertips, and others were not worth mentioning.

Hu Jiangzhuo continued to explain: "At that time, the imperial court will also send some academic elites from the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites, and the Confucian Temple will also send some highly respected bachelors to participate in the debate and competition, you must be mentally prepared!" ”

At first, these Confucian scholars present were still arguing, but when they heard that the imperial court and the Temple of Literature would also send people to compete with them for the titles of "grandmaster" and "first", they were unanimous with the outside world.

Xu Ru said angrily: "Why? Chaozhong and the Temple of Literature, is there anything more knowledgeable than the people here? ”

"Xu Laosan, you can't be so conceited, those scholars and title scholars in the Temple of Literature are not higher than your knowledge?" Someone rebuked.

"What are they? Study a few broken words, dare to ask if there is a thorough study of science than the old man? Xu Ru was not convinced, he couldn't see others slandering his learning.

At first, there was no quarrel, but for the sake of the face of the readers, these people began to argue again.

Ji Ning sighed and lowered his head, although he could understand the logic of these people's thinking, he couldn't understand the madness of these people, for the sake of a so-called Zhengshuo name, they had to quarrel, what was the point?

If you don't like the mind, you always don't like it; If you don't study science, how can you understand the breadth and profundity of science?

"It's said that it's a hundred schools of thought, but in fact, it's just a hundred schools of thought, and I haven't seen any noise!" Ji Ning sighed lightly and said.

Zhao Yuanrong was next to her, and she seemed to hear Ji Ning's words, she glanced sideways at Ji Ning, and then withdrew her gaze.

Hu Jiangzhuo said again: "Everyone, today should be a rehearsal for the next year's grand event, each of you will sort out and edit your knowledge into a book, and the imperial court will also publish it as a teaching material for scholars all over the world!" ”
