Originally, Lu Yunzhou only planned to make a quick decision, and after saying his opinion, he would end it and leave quickly, just because the matter discussed with Liu Kun and Fang Shihua later was more important.

But when the proposition of the dispute between etiquette and law was placed in front of Lu Yunzhou, Lu Yunzhou's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he thought of the imperial examination system that he would personally push to this era in a few days.

The implementation of the imperial examination system during the Warring States period will be fundamentally different from the imperial examination system of the later Chinese dynasties.

In later generations, China was dominated by Confucianism, and the imperial examination only needed to examine the four books and five classics of Confucianism. But the Warring States Period was an era of a hundred schools of thought! Countless genres are competing and blooming, competing on the same stage in this vast land, and the content that needs to be examined in this exam is destined to be so simple!

In the big ring competition of this era, Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, and Law take turns to defend the ring, and there are Yin and Yang families, vertical and horizontal families, famous families, soldiers, farmers, light and heavy families, and fairy families, etc., and they are eager to try, and they may jump into the ring at any time when they see the opportunity and break their wrists with the big guys above, and show off their muscles!

In the end, which school is more suitable for governing the country and more capable of dominating this vast Chinese land, this is by no means the final choice that Lu Yunzhou wants to make! He also didn't want the country to hold such a talent ceremony as the imperial examination system, which would eventually become a competition between hundreds of schools of thought and a competition between schools, and lose the original intention of selecting talents for the country!

Contest, yes! But be fair!

Competition, yes! But healthy competition!

Lu Yunzhou never wants to develop to the end, and continue the dispute in the examination room to the court, and evolve into the kind of life-and-death party struggle in the middle and late Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the purpose of the imperial examination system is to select truly capable talents for the country, not to select a group of scholars who study hard!

Therefore, Lu Yunzhou never wants to see that the talents selected in the end will be like those scholars and doctors in the past dynasties of the Chinese Dynasty, who have studied and taken exams for a lifetime, and forcibly turned themselves into a nerd who can only gnaw on books, full of knowledge, but without the slightest ability to match it.

Therefore, Lu Yunzhou suddenly had an idea, that is, before the advent of the imperial examination system, he should take a preventive shot for this possible hidden danger!

In the same way, this is also an excellent opportunity to warm up public opinion for the imperial examination system!

These thoughts were like thunder, flashing in Lu Yunzhou's mind, and Lu Yunzhou, who wanted to understand everything, came back to his senses, smiled at the two classmates, and said: "The dispute over etiquette and law, this is a classic debate, it has been debated by countless seniors, almost all opinions and examples have been excavated, and the good and bad have been said, so you are in a predicament, to the point where there is no argument, right?" ”

When the two students heard this, their faces turned red, recalling that although they had debated extremely fiercely before, and the views of the two sides came and went, and it seemed that the debate was very lively, but when it came to it, it was all some clichés that picked up people's teeth and wisdom, but there were many precedents for this debate, which made them fight for so long.

Lu Yunzhou knew as soon as he saw their expressions, in fact, if there was really any novel point of view in this debate, it would be impossible for that student not to mention it when he introduced himself, and the onlookers would also invite themselves to watch and comment on the game first, instead of pulling their own off-site assistance to speak without saying a word.

Lu Yunzhou smiled: "When a road has reached a dead end, there is no need to go any further, it is difficult to get the answer you want." At this time, maybe looking at this problem from a different angle will give you new gains! ”

The two classmates hurriedly nodded ashamedly, while the onlookers were all dazzled, pondering Lu Yunzhou's words, and suddenly felt that they had benefited a lot.

The eyes of the onlookers were even more enthusiastic, and they looked at Lu Yunzhou with admiration and admiration.

Lu Yunzhou looked at the Confucian classmate and asked, "This classmate, I want to ask you a question, who is the same seventy-two sages under the sage, who is more clever in the ability to govern between me and Zigong?" ”

The Confucian classmate was stunned when he heard this, and then replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is Zigong!" ”

Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, that's right, he is also a disciple of Confucius, and he is one of the seventy-two sages, when he was a doctor in Linzi in Qi State, he followed Tian Chang to make trouble, and the whole family was wiped out, while Zigong was the opposite, and made a series of earth-shattering diplomatic achievements - "As soon as Zigong came out, Cunlu, chaotic Qi, broke Wu, forced Jin, and overpowered!" ”

Lu Yunzhou asked again: "Both follow the Zhou rites, Zeng Zi and Zhou Gong's political ability, who is more intelligent?" ”

The Confucian classmate was stunned, he could understand the previous question, but he couldn't figure it out at all, why did Lu Yunzhou juxtapose these two people?

Isn't this nonsense? If he hadn't created the "sub-feudal system", there would have been no 800-year foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, and if he hadn't formulated the ritual music, there would have been no Confucianism at all!

Even if Confucius is in front of the Duke of Zhou, he is nothing at all, how can Zeng Shen, who has been "trembling and trembling, as if facing the abyss" all his life, be compared with the sages?

The Confucian classmate really couldn't figure out the significance of Lu Yunzhou's question, but considering Lu Yunzhou's status as an "immortal", everything he wanted to say must have a deep meaning, so he replied honestly: "Although Zeng Zi is a sage, after all, he can't be compared with the sage, so naturally Zhou Gong is more clever!" ”

Lu Yunzhou nodded with a smile, then turned to the classmate of the Legalist and asked, "This classmate, can I ask you, who is also a Legalist person, who is more clever in governing the country in terms of children and pipes?" ”

Although the Legalist classmate felt that this question was strange, he saw that Lu Yunzhou had already asked another classmate a similar question before, so he also replied: "Although the child is Zheng Guoxian, it is still inferior to the pipe that assists the Duke of Qi Huan after all!" ”

Lu Yunzhou asked again: "Then who is more clever in the ability of Wu Qi and Li Kui, who is also a Legalist?" ”

The Legalist's classmate pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of the ability to govern the country alone, Li Kui is naturally higher than Wu Qi!" ”

After all, Li Kui's reform created the first overlord of the Warring States State, the Wei State, and successfully extended the hegemony for two and a half generations, while Wu Qi's reform also made the Chu State strong, but it was too radical, resulting in a strong counterattack by the nobles, and the results of its reform were short-lived in the end!

The onlookers gradually began to whisper, and no one understood the significance of Lu Yunzhou's questioning.
