Chapter 763 Three Gonghuai (middle)

(Updated at: 20112020:22)

It is true that there are such and such problems in this dynasty, but it has never stifled the vitality of people's thoughts, as long as you are willing, you can give lectures, publish, form associations, assemblies, and propagate your own ideas, although if it is too shocking and has too much impact on the social program, you will still be resisted or even persecuted, either explicitly or covertly. But this opposition rarely comes from the imperial power, and most of it comes only from intellectual opponents, and because these opponents are themselves officials, the administrative repression that comes with it.

For this kind of dissent, the whole dynasty is undoubtedly tolerant, and will not chase and fight fiercely, let alone kill them all, 'literati do not use their mouths', 'be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future', this is already a conventional rule. Therefore, since Inxuan, there have been scholars who have been killed for becoming ideological heretics, and the contrast between life and death in the political arena is very stark.

Even because of the great gift discussion, ninety percent of the scholars in the world stood on the side of the heir faction, among which Wang Xuemen was the most intense, they scolded on the pulpit, criticized in the academy, ridiculed the Jitong faction in publications, and supported Yang Sheng'an and others, and annoyed Emperor Jiajing, and ordered the closure of private academies across the country and banned the public preaching of Wang Xue. But there was no factory guard to arrest people on a large scale, and there was no such thing as a literary prison, and there was no ...... to kill Zhulian Even Yang Sheng'an, the leader of the Jitong faction, just let him die in a drunken dream in Kunming, even secretly ran back to his hometown in Sichuan, and just turned a blind eye. It didn't hurt the vitality of the reader.

This phenomenon may be contributed to two reasons, one is, from the current dynasty forward, the rise and fall of dynasties in Chinese history, for various reasons, but always unable to escape the people's livelihood, military, political level, but never due to the impact of thought, resulting in the shaking of imperial power. The emperors of the Han nationality did not think that there was any harm in the affairs between scholars, so naturally they did not have the consciousness of suppressing academic thought.

Second, the science of this dynasty was prevalent, and the scholars encouraged themselves with their reputations, emphasized the way of cultivation, qi, governance, and peace, and unified personal success with their contributions to the country, which was naturally welcomed by the rulers.

Although advocating self-esteem by the rise of the self-learning of the king, but in the view of the physicist mind is too easy to talk about the mind, if you learn that Wei and Jin celebrities sit high and talk about it is naturally good, if you want to take it to the world to help the country, but it is a hemp rope bolt tofu, can not be raised.

At present, the most well-known debate between the three public acacia also proves this point...... Every time the debate is crowded with people, the momentum is huge, but they focus on such things as 'the good and evil of human nature', 'the saint has a heart or not', 'what is the body of benevolence', and so on. But the debaters are crazy, and the listeners are like a dream, and they are all very engaged.

This kind of debate, which is getting more and more nonsense, can not only highlight the academic atmosphere of Kyoto, but also attract scholars from all over the world to gather in the capital, and the imperial court certainly supports it. Moreover, the location of the meeting place in the northern capital of the country gives people an impression of authority, and the Hanlin ministers in the capital who are too idle are extremely keen to participate in this kind of debate...... Because of the eloquent speech at the Sangonghuai Forum, if you can kill the Quartet, you can be famous in the capital; Even if you can't win, as long as you perform well, you can be familiar with it.

In these years, there are many redundant officials and few positions, and there are even fewer positions that can have the second way of money.

Moreover, the capital of the north really needs such a high-end forum to compete with those famous academies and literary associations in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the dignified imperial capital will be despised as a cultural desert and have no academic status, which is really unacceptable to so many pretentious Jinshi masters and Hanlin ministers in Beijing.

As a result, at the beginning of the birth of the Sangonghuai debate, it took up the right time and place, and in just five years, it became the only academic center in the north that could compete with the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone was proud to be on this forum and show their debate talents, and there were even many scholars from the south who made a special trip to come over, just to compete with the literati in the capital, which was unimaginable before...... Before the birth of the Sangonghuai Forum, people only regarded the capital as the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and as for other aspects, they never paid attention to it.

The influence of Sangonghuai is so great that even Emperor Jiajing, who lives in the ninth depth, is like thunder. He was very impressed by the performance of the literati who swore to defend orthodoxy to the death, and believed that he had ruled steadily for decades, and these scholars who clung to the words of the saints would also stand on their side just like their uncles defended him back then.

Because I am the emperor, the monarch's father, the head of the Gangchang, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and the only choice for those who read!

Therefore, he wants to put Hai Rui in Sangonghuai, and let the world's scholars criticize him, and he doesn't believe that everyone is his party!

Of course, in order to be foolproof, Jiajing also ordered Li Chunfang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and a scholar of Hanlin, to take the lead, and gather all the ministers and officials of Hanlin and Wenmo in Beijing to hold a meeting to study how to refute every sentence of Hai Rui and how to criticize him decently...... Of course, the emperor will not admit that he instructed it, all of this is the spontaneous behavior of the ministers who saw the humiliation of the monarch's father, and felt empathy.

After reading Li Chunfang's preliminary plan, the emperor finally showed a smile on his face, and he believed that he could be invincible this time. Therefore, he ordered that the debate on the Three Gonghuai Mountains, originally scheduled for the end of this month, be postponed for another month, so that more well-known scholars could rush to the capital to participate. Why is it so solemn? Because Jiajing knew that the influence caused by Hai Jui was already very bad, and he believed that the small clique that opposed him was very powerful, and it was necessary, only, and only through a powerful criticism that the situation could be completely reversed, and then all those who plotted against him could be crushed.

For this reason, he is willing to wait, of course, provided that the dragon body can still hold on...... Fortunately, with Li Shizhen, a big country, he can't collapse for a while.

The emperor attaches so much importance to it, and the object of the argument is Hai Rui, the first person in the ages, and the popularity of this debate between the three princes can be imagined. From the end of February, masters from all over the world flocked to the capital one after another, and by March, all the representatives of the major schools had arrived. Open the roster of those who are ready to attend the forum, and you will see what literary league leaders, poetry leaders, school giants, science masters, etc., are all well-known figures, accounting for half of the cultural circles of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if all these people come to the stage to start a war, it will become a group fight, and when the time comes, a few people will make a move, and most people will watch the excitement.

At most, those big names are supporting tricks and commenting on something, and they generally don't go on stage to participate in the war. This is also understandable, after all, they are all big names who have become famous and have a family, and they are even more embarrassed if they win, and it is even more embarrassing to lose, this business is not cost-effective.

But it's not absolute, maybe whoever can provoke them to the stage to scold, then the audience is worth the ticket price, and the challenger will be famous all over the world, and it will be talked about by Shilin in the future, which is not a good story.

But this is all past experience, this time is actually very different, first of all, this time the topic is not empty at all, but extremely sensitive taboos, if it is held immediately, a quick battle is good, maybe with a strong ideological inertia, the result will not be unexpected. But in order to achieve the best effect, the emperor dragged it back for a month, and as a result, many people arrived in Beijing ahead of schedule. When so many intellectuals get together, they will inevitably exchange ideas and learn from each other, and the topic of the Sangonghuai debate is, of course, the topic they talk about the most.

In the teahouse, in the wine shop, on the Qinglou, and by the sea, there are scholars everywhere talking loudly, and the truth becomes clearer and clearer, and gradually, many people's thinking changes, and even touches some places that they did not dare to think of before.

For the emperor, this was all a hidden danger of getting out of control, but his health was so bad that he was so angry that he was bedridden and groggy all day long, and he did not get better until the spring blossomed, but he also ignored the shocking customs mixed with the information, so that the debate could be held smoothly......

"I wish I could be there." Today is the day of the debate between the three princes, and the silence in the house arrest still sends out such feelings.

"Hehe......" Zhu Wu smiled bitterly: "My lord, this really can't be done." ”

"I know, I know." Shen Mo smiled at him and said, "I just feel that such a historical moment, I really should see it with my own eyes and listen to it with my own ears." ”

"It's the same with looking at the records." Zhu Shisan comforted him and said, "We have five clerks on the scene, and we can't miss a single paragraph...... I'll send it back to you after recording a paragraph, and it's fresh. ”

"That's pretty much it." Silent complained about the backwardness of the Ming Dynasty, and said in his heart, if there is a satellite TV, wouldn't everything be over?

Zhu Shisan didn't quite understand Shen Mo's reaction, he had never seen an adult scratch his heart and lungs like this for one thing, isn't his heart just a debate? Is it that appealing? In his opinion, it is not as attractive as an orchid belly dance performance in Fan Hutong.

This is called 'Summer Worm can't talk about ice', he won't understand how much Shen Mo cherishes this opportunity today. In fact, before and after Hai Jui's book, he silently did a lot of work, either explicitly or secretly, completely contrary to the policy set by Wang Yin, and even violated the principle of being a human being, pushing allies and followers into a dangerous situation, and even ...... Ride yourself on.

At such a big price, the plan is naturally not small - he only wants one thing, that is, to strengthen the effect of Hai Jui's book, and transform it from Hai Jui's moral success as a person to a fuse that touches the ideological changes of the entire society.

This transformation is an extremely difficult process and requires a huge and complex undertaking. Shen Mo has already planned to mobilize the power of public opinion in his own hands to launch a big discussion on the 'way of the monarch and the minister', Sangonghuai is naturally one of the battlefields, as well as the publications in the southeast, the academy, and the newly opened newspapers in Shanghai, all the means that can be used will be mobilized and forcibly open up the mind.

The disadvantages of this are obvious, and the soft power that he has been deliberately hiding is likely to be completely exposed and ...... Because the plan is too large, it is impossible to erase the traces of deliberateness. As long as those real enemies grasp the clues, they can find the mastermind, and what awaits him is bound to be a head-on blow, even a devastating blow.

In the final analysis, his current strength is not enough to use this sharp blade, just like a child playing with a big knife, it is easy to hurt himself. The safest way is to wait for the child to grow into an adult, and then use this knife to play. But his goal is too ambitious, too big to be slim, if he always puts safety first and pursues safety, he may not be busy for a lifetime, and will be effortlessly annihilated by history.

There is a truth in this world that the greater the risk, the higher the return. Life is a gamble, you can't always fight a winning battle, and when it comes to the critical moment, you must not hesitate to take the risk. So Shen Mo had already made up his mind to fight with his chips.

Who knew that God had mercy, Jiajing actually thought what he thought, was anxious about what he was anxious about, and took the initiative to hold a criticism meeting. The effect of the emperor's initiative is a hundred times stronger than what he can add with all means...... Of course, the premise is that the process and outcome of the debate are what you want.

Therefore, as soon as he learned the news of the Sangonghuai debate, Shen Mo immediately canceled the original plan, and secretly ordered Wang Yin, Shen Mingchen, Zheng Ruozeng and others, and contacted Xu Wei, Wang Ji, Ji Ben and others, so that they could invite aspiring celebrities and scholars to come to help in their own name.

Now Wang Yin and others have done a lot of work...... Silent in prison, after all, you can only grasp the general direction. How to help Hai Rui, how to deal with possible passive situations, and even who will play to help boxing, and what the routines are, these are all repeatedly knocked on the vertebrae. Fortunately, at the end of February, Xu Wenchang, who had successfully created people, finally returned to the capital; He was accompanied by Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Ji. Mr. Wang, despite his 80 years of age, is still trying his best to make suggestions, how can others be embarrassed not to rack their brains to make the plan perfect?

Today is the day of the results, and no matter how well prepared you have been, the silence is still full of anxiety. Then a pleasant pigeon whistle sounded in the sky, and he looked up and saw a group of white doves flying overhead, and he really wanted to be one of them......

In the sky, the flying pigeons crossed the high wall of the Zhenfu Division, and then to the Guozijian, and landed on the three acacia to rest, combing their feathers while tilting their heads to look down.

The forum is built under the Sangong Huai, because there are often debates, the large open space in front of the Sangong Huai has been changed into a three-zhang square pulpit, the podium is three feet high, the white marble is paved, there are incense burners, futons, the look is solemn and elegant, and there is no one at the moment.

The stage is full of rows of cushions, and even under the three princes in the north, there are also seats, and there are seven or eight hundred seats densely packed.

Because this debate is in the Guozijian, naturally you can't come if you want to come, if you want to sit in the audience, you need to go through three ways, the most advanced is to be invited by a committee of the Guozijian, of course, it is some masters and big names who have this honor, and under the three princes, everyone is equal, no matter whether you are a python robe and jade belt, or a prince and nobleman, as long as you don't give academic strength, you can't get into the eyes of the committee.

Therefore, those celebrities and nobles and the like, in order to avoid humiliation on themselves, can only stay away from this.

There are a lot of invited guests, and the quality is also very high, bringing together the cultural elites of the Ming Dynasty, and looking at Ouyang De, Wang Ji, Huang Zuo, Wei Liangbi, Luo Rufang, Li Wei, Wang Shizhen, Zhu Zaiyu...... It's star-studded.

The second is to sign up for Guozijian by yourself, and you can get tickets regardless of Shinong and industry, but the popularity of this forum is too high, but the seats are limited. Therefore, the threshold has been raised a lot, and some people who are usually qualified to be invited can only apply for one way, and many local academic leaders and officials in Beijing are among them.

The third type, the Tai students of Guozijian, were all qualified to come to the auditorium, but this time the seats were limited, so they could only stand on the periphery.

In fact, there are many people who do not come in through these three ways, and this is not surprising. After all, there are many people who want to come in and watch, and tickets have become a habitable curiosity. Although Guozijian is a solemn academic institution, the officials in it are all people, and it is completely understandable to exchange tickets for some silver to subsidize their families.

It is said that such a ticket has been sold to 500 taels of silver in the market, and the price is not in the market.

Now there is still a little effort before the guests enter, and the Tai students of Guozijian seized the last time to arrange the tea and cushions in place at the venue. They feel extremely happy to be able to serve tea and pour water on such occasions, and to be able to listen to them on the sidelines, especially a young man who is looking forward to fifteen or sixteen, and the smile on his face is brighter than the sun.

"Zou Erzhan, don't be stupid", seeing his classmates, he kept grinning and smirking, and a young man with an old appearance said softly: "It's good to be a little promising." Another young man with a handsome face also leaned over and smiled: "Yes, Erzhan, saliva is flowing out." ”

The one called Er Zhan hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his mouth, only to realize that he had been deceived, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Mengbai, you are playing me again." ”

"It's because you don't have a long memory." The man named Mengbai squinted his eyes and said, "I never be fool......ed when I look at my uncle" Before the words fell, I heard the whisper of the uncle called: "Lord Siye is here............

"**Star! Zou Yuanbiao! Gu Xiancheng! What are you three muttering! Still seen by Lord Siye, he said angrily: "Be quiet and solemn, and if you don't have a long memory, you will all go back to the room to think about the past." ”

If you can't watch this one, the three of them will be depressed to death, **Xing hurriedly accompanied Xiao Siye and said: "Don't dare, don't dare." The two hurriedly followed suit.

Fortunately, Si Ye just scared them, turned around and left. The three of them squeezed their eyebrows, grimaced, and hurriedly went their separate ways.
