Nine hundred and twenty-two choose again

Zhang Jianzhi passed an entrance examination specially prepared by the University of Political Science and Law for him. Kong Yingda, the first president of the University of Political Science and Law, was the only invigilator. He stared at Zhang Jianyi's personal entrance examination and did not misunderstand it. This was not because of Suning, but because Kong Yingda was bored. The imperial examination did not invite Kong Yingda as an examiner, and even the invigilator did not have the share of Kong Yingda. The old man was extremely depressed, so he arranged Zhang Jianzhi's entrance examination and the imperial examination on the same day, and he was addicted to being an invigilator.

Moreover, he also had some affection for the boy in front of him. Things between the boy and Suning had spread throughout Chang'an City. This son was famous for his filial piety. A face-to-face conflict between him and Suning was also famous. Suning rejected the request of the boy who wanted to take the imperial examination for his father and did not allow him to take the imperial examination. He firmly maintained the fairness and fairness of the imperial examination. Of course, Suning did not forget to invite a famous doctor from the Chang'an General Hospital to Xiangyang to treat the filial son's father.

Most people agree with Suning's approach, and even Kong Yingda himself agrees. However, there are some people, most of them are old Confucian scholars who are stingy with words. They are disappointed with Suning's approach and are dissatisfied with Suning himself. They think that Suning is too heartbroken and is unwilling to agree to the final request of his father who is about to die. If his father dies, wouldn't it be a pity? These people quote from classics and criticize Suning's approach.

Without Suning's words, there are naturally some people who help Suning. The scholars of the New Legal School, who are mainly supported by students, quote the classics, and took out the "Zhenguan Law" and the emperor's handwritten decrees to refute those who oppose Suning's practices, criticize those people and make their refutation bloody. They say that while adhering to the principles, Mr. Su did not forget to do his best to fulfill the filial piety of this filial son. It is already the end of benevolence and righteousness. What do you want Mr. Su?

Filial piety is the most basic quality of a person, but this cannot be a decisive factor for a person to be an official. If you can be an official because of filial piety, then there is no one in the world who can be an official, and then the world will be in chaos. Filial piety is a virtue, a basic quality of being a human being, not a standard for the imperial examination. Filial piety is a prerequisite for taking the imperial examination. If you are unfilial, you will not even be qualified to take the imperial examination.

This suddenly drove the opposition into the bottomless abyss, and the power of the opposition became smaller and smaller. Kong Yingda, the direct descendant of Confucius, also noticed that there were not many students willing to listen to Confucianism. There was a monotonous and decreasing trend, and more and more people were willing to learn the Legalist genius and even the Mohist genius. He also understood what Suning once said that Confucianism was praised too highly by the emperors and people in the past and annoyed too many people. Once Confucian falls from the altar, it will decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Success is royal, failure is royal. Kong Yingda can only sigh and do nothing. He can do nothing. At the forefront, he is the representative and soul leader of the Confucian school. If he has a few shortcomings and trivial things, Confucianism will be doomed. Now that the Legalists and the Zongheng family have emerged in many talents, the Mohist school has created the Ministry of Works without any leakage. He can only look forward to the Confucianism at any time and will not require him to make the act of abolishing all schools of thought. It is enough to let Confucianism return to the status of "Confucianism and Mohism" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The filial son in front of him who was very optimistic about filial piety and chose the Zongheng family as the major subject without hesitation. This made him feel very disappointed and disappointed. Among the thousands of students, only hundreds of people chose to major in Confucianism. Most of them were children of vassal families from former wealthy families in Shandong. They hoped that relying on Kong Yingda could continue to rehearse, but they were destined to be disappointed.

This is also what Suning saw. The meaning of any religion is good at the beginning. The founders saw the sufferings of the world, the unfairness of the world, and the ugliness of human nature. So they wanted to change all this. Religion came into being. It is good to lead people to goodness. However, human beings originally have two qualities of goodness and evil. Simple evil nature and good nature are wrong. If you want to make everyone kind through education, it is a delusion. Confucianism has not succeeded in doing this for thousands of years. This shows that this trick cannot work.

People have two personalities: kindness and evil. Everyone has two different faces. Is it different from being opposed to anti-human? That is, it is against the nature of human beings. The ancients said that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. That is not just one person, but the entire human being. Therefore, religion has developed and developed, without exception, mutations have occurred. There are Buddhist and Taoist chaos in China, and there are religious inquisitions in Europe. There are definitely many people who die because of religion.

Suning will not give Confucianism the opportunity to develop into Confucianism, that is too terrible, that is the Inquisition of China.

Competition, competition, competition, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest, giving everyone a chance to confront academics head-on, and history gives the Chinese a choice again. This time, Suning believes that no one will choose the wrong choice, at least not choose Confucianism. Confucianism has made many people feel pain, and no one wants to bear this pain again. Confucian wealthy families no longer exist. Neither the emperor nor the common people will allow the emergence of Confucian wealthy families again, or any wealthy family in any school.

Learned people can be respected, but this does not serve as an excuse for their families to enjoy this respect together. After eliminating the five wealthy families, almost all the Tang Dynasty was filled with such an atmosphere. People who have grasped cultural hegemony are more terrifying than those who have grasped political hegemony, so we must resolutely prevent this phenomenon from happening.

At the same time as the first day of the imperial examination ended, Zhang Jianzhi's selection exam was also over. Kong Yingda scored the papers himself and was about to make the results on the spot. He looked at Zhang Jianzhi's basic knowledge and the results of policy theory. He sighed in his heart and put down the test paper. Kong Yingda asked Zhang Jianzhi very seriously: "Zhang Jianzhi, with your test paper, I have no reason to depose you, but before announcing that you have been admitted to the University of Political Science and Law, I want to ask you, why did you choose a traitor rather than a legalist, or Confucianism, or even Mohism, Taoism, or military genius?"

Zhang Jianzhi sat upright and replied seriously: "After thousands of years of change, the Legalists were reorganized by a group of famous scholars. It is very different from the Legalists in the past, but it is no different from the Legalists in the past. It is too strong and even lacks flexibility. When adhering to the law, it is willing to make fierce refutations with opponents. If these Legalists are allowed to take full advantage of the rule, it may not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

As for Confucianism, it is opposite to the Legalists. If the Legalists support it, it is definitely opposed. If the Confucianism supports it, the Legalists will definitely oppose it. I neither support the Legalists blindly paying attention to the law as respect, nor do I agree with the Confucian etiquette as respect. As for Taoism, Mohism and military strategists, they are not good at it."

Kong Yingda said: "It is naturally wrong to respect the law as the most important thing. The death of the Qin II is a typical example, so this is not feasible. But what is it impossible to respect the etiquette? Law must be there. But shouldn't etiquette? It is feasible for everyone to obey etiquette, isn't it? Since Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, there have been four hundred years of Han Dynasty. Compared with the twenty years of the Former Qin Dynasty, which one is better or worse?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhang Jianzhi's lips: "Preferring to the law as a rule only ruined a Qin, while abolishing all schools of thought destroyed all the following dynasties. Until the former Sui Dynasty, did the former Sui Dynasty rule the world with benevolence and filial piety? Mr. Kong, what do you think?"

Kong Yingda was stunned, then said angrily: "How did you say this? Is the decline of all dynasties all because of the faults of my Confucian sect? Corrupt officials and foolish emperors are all because of my Confucian sect?"

Zhang Jianzhi smiled and said, "How could this happen? I didn't say that. I just don't agree with the Confucianism. Now is not the era of abolishing all schools of thought. Mr. Kong, do you also want to drive out of the University of Political Science and Law because of your remarks, and aren't you allowed to enroll in the school?"

Kong Yingda sighed and shook his head: "What medicine did that boy Suning give you? Why did you treat me so strongly? Did I say you were not allowed to enter school? Although I am the president of the University of Political Science and Law, who do you think of me as? Forget it, you are admitted, and you can come here to go through the relevant procedures tomorrow. Enroll! Really, young people nowadays...ah..."

Looking at Kong Yingda's back as he left here, Zhang Jianzhi suddenly felt a little strange, because when he faced Kong Yingda, he clearly felt that he was facing a liar, but after Kong Yingda left, Zhang Jianzhi felt that he was wrong again. This old man is a respected scholar, definitely not a liar, but for some reason, his words just now were definitely thorny, and Kong Yingda must have felt it...

Even if he is a liar, he is an old man, so he shouldn't have done this... Zhang Jianzhi suddenly felt a little hateful, and he seemed to have done something wrong...

The first day of the imperial examination was over. Thirty-to-thirty-one,000 candidates took the exam together, competing for 3,000 official positions, and the admission rate of 10 to 10. Of course, there are also great differences here. Because the highest positions that can be obtained in the imperial examination are county magistrates from the seventh rank to sixth rank, so many people who have obtained these official positions want to show their ambitions and go to a place that is very suitable for young people to show their strengths, and do their best to realize what they have learned in a barren land. Then, wait for the people who are assessing their political achievements to come, and you can be promoted, enter the mainland, and even the central government, and become a minister of the humerus.

Anyway, it is certain that such a path is not very important, how to promote it is no longer important, but how to establish political achievements and get the opportunity to enter the prosperous areas of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to become an official, and even become an official in Chang'an City and work hard under the feet of the emperor.

A county magistrate often has thirty or forty young people with ideas and confidence to fight together, and there are even more people. The highest position of a county magistrate is the most difficult examination method in the imperial examination. It takes three days in total, the first day's written test, the second day's actual test, and the third day's interview, and the third day's interview, and the last day's interview, if two or three or more people pass the interview, then the final policy-making duel will be held, everyone debates together, and practices the confrontation together, and the final winner will get that position.

This assessment method is more direct and targeted. You can apply for any position you want to be. Obviously, it is beneficial to everyone and there is no need to be assigned. Exam candidates can also consider the most suitable official position by themselves, increase the admission rate, increase the elimination rate, and obtain higher quality and better final winners. It is very beneficial to the construction and development of border areas. Everyone agrees with this.

So after the first day of the exam, all the examiners gathered together to review the first day of the written test papers. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
