On the left, there are only three empty seats in the first row, and the rest of the place is already crowded with people, the first three rows are probably Zhejiang scholars, so there is a little preferential treatment, and one person can make a stool, and a stool in the back rows is crowded with at least three people, many people have most of their buttocks hanging in the air, and some people even sit on other people's laps.The four talents on the right have all arrived, and there is no difference in other places except that there are three fewer empty seats than those on the left.At this time, the left and right sides had already set up a battle, and they were in a mental battle, seeing Lin Fangxu and the three of them coming in, thousands of pairs of eyes looked at them in unison, no matter how thick-skinned Rao was, he was also a little embarrassed at this time.Shen Mao was the first to react, beckoning the three of them to sit down hurriedly, according to the ranking of the township test, Lin Fangxu naturally sat at the top of the first row, followed by Shang Tan and Xu Zhongkang.As soon as the three of them sat down, they saw another commotion among the crowd gathered outside, and after the commotion, the crowd gave way to a much wider road than just now, and a young man dressed in dark civilian clothes, with a solemn face and a noble temperament, walked in.Next to him, one step behind him, was a young man dressed in lake blue civilian clothes, with a smile in the corners of his eyes, and about the age of a weak crown.After the young son, there are three officials of different ages and different grades of the Hanlin Academy, among which the older one is dressed in a five-grade official uniform and is a serious Hanlin bachelor, and the other two are only from the official uniform, and only know that they are six-grade officials.Kong Zhao, Dong Kun and others showed a look of shock when the young man in Xuanyi entered the door, and instinctively wanted to stand up and salute, but after reacting, they sat back in their original positions and pretended to be calm.Other people may not know, but Lin Fangxu naturally understands why they are like this, because the young man in Xuanyi is the current crown prince, and the other is His Royal Highness the Third Prince.I thought it was just an ordinary literary meeting, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point, Lin Fangxu was a little surprised no matter how indifferent he was, he didn't seem to have heard of these in his previous life, it was estimated that there were three fewer of the five sons in Hangzhou, and he couldn't fight.The two dragons really seemed to be just here to be an ordinary audience, and sat down in the middle of the two highest seats without saying a word, and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy said: Today is just for discussion, I hope you will treat it normally, and don't let this affect your performance next month.After speaking, he respectfully took a page of manuscript from the prince's hand with both hands, opened it and read: The previous dynasty went through a total of 28 emperors from the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, to the rule of Zhongxing, and then to the decline of the emperor and the death of the country, at the age of 320.The sages said that if history is used as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.Today, you will discuss why the previous dynasty died in the end.After the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy finished reading the question, some of the scholars present looked like Kong Jue and Shang Tan, with sad faces, some like Xu Zhongkang and Su Zhao, with a sudden realization on their faces, and some like Shen Jing and Dong Kun, with eager to try written on their faces.Lin Fangxu can roughly guess why their expressions are different, Xu Zhongkang and the others have the best thoughts, and they can interpret it, that is, this topic is really bold, who dares to come out like this, the prince probably doesn't dare, oh, I know, it must be the one from the Qianqing Palace.Shen Jing, Dong Kun and others must have guessed the person who came up with the question, and even thought about where to start, just waiting to perform well later.Kong Jue, Shang Tan and others must have complained in their hearts at this time, now this piece of country was taken by your old Zhu family from the hands of the declining emperor, you have such a question now, how can people answer, what do you say will not affect the test, if you answer any taboos, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the examination room.Lin Fangxu has several mentalities at this time, in his opinion, if the first emperor does not ascend the throne in Beijing, and still serves the declining emperor as the mainstay, the broken ship of the previous dynasty may be able to sail for a while, which is like a soldier robbing all the property of a rich businessman, and then say You come to sum up, why are you poor?
And why!
was robbed by you, it can be seen that those who can sit firmly in the Jinluan Palace can't have thin skin, and those with thin skin have been robbed.Bachelor Wang didn't plan to join in the fun today, and the literary meeting of a group of scholars was not so attractive, but the prince took the holy handwritten letter to the Hanlin Academy, how dare they send someone casually.After reading the question of the saint, Master Wang sweated for all the scholars present, such a question, to be honest, he didn't dare to answer it at will.Bachelor Wang was full of sympathy for everyone present, and said: When you take a stick of incense as a stick, you will stand up and express your own views after thinking about it.After speaking, the person ordered an incense burner on the table in the middle, and there was a red incense stick inserted in it, which was just lit at this time, and there were wisps of green smoke wafting at the top.Everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and nearly two thousand people gathered together, and for a time it was so quiet that they could hear a pin, and occasionally they could hear a sigh or two.Shang Tan came to Lin Fangxu: Dongsheng, I'm afraid it's up to you this time, and I really don't know how to answer for my brother.Lin Fangxu knew in his heart that from the last debate in Hangzhou, it can be seen that this business heir is afraid that he has no talent in the way of debate, not that he has any shortcomings, just because he is too upright, too modest and cautious, and the merits are his own set in his heart, often what he says is what he thinks, and he will not debate for the sake of debate.Lin Fangxu didn't know whether to encourage him to speak his mind for a while, after all, there was still a curse to say.Just when he was in a dilemma, Shen Jing stood up, bowed down to the prince and others who were sitting on the top, bowed his hand, and bowed his hand to the surrounding scholars, and said: Mencius Yun, there is a way in the world, a way to win the people, and a way to win the world.There is a way to win the people, to win their hearts, and to win the people.There is a way in his heart, and he gathers with it as much as he wants, and he does not do anything evil.People have different personalities internally and externally, Dong Kun has always shown a gentle and elegant appearance to the outside, in order not to appear to be eager for quick success, he wanted to wait a little longer, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Shen Jing.The old man of the Shen family looks like he respects the Dong family on the surface, but he teaches his children and grandchildren to be so arrogant.In fact, he didn't know that Shen Jing's arrogance was not taught by his grandfather, it was probably innate, so he just listened to him continue: The previous dynasty started from the Emperor Xizong, and the ability to govern the country was not as good as the generation, and when it came to Emperor Yang, it was even more extravagant, extravagant and cruel.He doesn't care about the corruption of the government; Strong enemies peep at him and don't care; The people were plagued by natural disasters, starved all over the wilderness, and the earth was wailing, but he turned a blind eye; How can this kind of emperor win the hearts of the people.When the emperor declined, although he had the heart to rectify, he was cowardly, timid and afraid, and even more, when the slaves came, he left all the people behind and fled alone, causing the people to be centrifuged, how could this kind of court not perish.The two audience members sitting at the top, the crown prince Zhu Xianzong did not have any expression after listening to him, but only ordered the clerk who came with him to write down the views of the speakers word for word.The third prince, Zhu Xianwen, rolled his eyes in his heart, and leaned back in his chair boredly, who wants to listen to this kind of point of view that most people can say.It may be that most people can say it, so most people agree, but after Shen Jing finished speaking, many scholars nodded in agreement.Shen Jing bowed to everyone again, and then sat down slowly, at this time, at the top of the incense stick, a small section of incense ash that had been burned was finally overwhelmed and fell on the table.Dong Kun was not modest at this time, stood up straight, and also saluted the head first, and then arched his hand to the surroundings, and then smiled and said: Before saying my point of view, I first have to say to Shen Tongnian, what you said is too general, too insincere, counting the reasons for the death of all dynasties in history, it seems that it can be attributed to the loss of the people's heart, so I think that it is more meaningful for us to discuss today why we lost the people's heart.Most of the people who nodded before were shaken again at this time, thinking that the first talent in the capital was really extraordinary, and they refuted the other party in one sentence, and it was indeed too perfunctory to talk about losing the hearts of the people.Chapter 46 Lin Fangxu saw that his teammate's opinion was scolded, and he was not in a hurry, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and waited thoughtfully for Dong Kun's next high opinion.He was not in a hurry, squatting on the eaves of the Dao Hall, Jiang Shiyun and Jiang Shiwu brothers on the big sycamore were a little worried.Jiang Shiwu sighed and said: Hey, when I was in Hangzhou, I thought that my cousin and Senior Brother Xu's debating ability was not very good, but I didn't expect Shen Jing to be average, you said that Junior Brother Lin would not be dragged back.Jiang Shiyun glanced at him incredulously, a person who speaks no more than three sentences every time he debates, and there are two sentences of repetitive meaning, how can he still have the face to dislike others.Jiang Shiyun spoke earnestly, patted him on the shoulder and said: Don't worry, he will definitely win.After all, you can win with teammates like you, and the situation is still better.Under the sycamore tree, there was a young scholar who looked at the two people in the book, pursed his lips, and said softly: Insulting Sven!
What kind of solemnity a little brother should have.Seeing that the little brother on the tree seemed to hear himself talking behind his back, he looked down at himself, and instantly the deer in his heart collided, and his face was like fire.In the early spring of February, everything wakes up, and the young scholar is in love in spring, if Jiang Shiyun knows what this person thinks, he will only say, you think too much.After Jiang Shiyun practiced in the morning, he went to ask his father to say goodbye, and when his father took him away, he said that their literary meeting was a holy question, so he hurriedly pulled Jiang Shiwu over in a hurry.When they arrived, the hall had been surrounded by water, and the literati who were usually powerless to restrain chickens seemed to be infinitely powerful at this time, and Jiang Shiwu, a big man who was able to pull out the mountains, was stunned and couldn't shake it.Jiang Shiyun simply took his second brother, climbed the courtyard wall, climbed the roof, flew the eaves and walked the wall, and jumped onto the plane tree in the envy and jealousy of the scholars.The view from the plane tree is excellent, and the inside and outside of the hall are in full view, only to see that at this time, after Dong Kun refuted Shen Jing, he continued: In the last years of the previous dynasty, there was often a great drought, and the peasants had no harvest, and the emperors, including Emperor Yang, were still singing and dancing, and they were extravagant.The local government is still leviing and extorting excessively, the levies and miscellaneous taxes are continuous, and the people have no surplus food, and they are still unable to survive, how can they be loyal to the court that robs them of hope.Dong Kun saw that everyone showed thoughtful expressions, so he continued: "Hanshu.
In the Biography of Li Shiqi, Li Shiqi said to Liu Bangyun, the king of the Han Dynasty, who knows the heavens, and the king can do things; Those who do not know the heavens cannot accomplish the king's affairs.The king regards the people as the sky, and the people regard food as the sky.Therefore, I believe that the reason why the previous dynasty died was because the emperor did not know the heavens, which led to the collapse of the country.After Dong Kun finished speaking, the reaction of the other people in the hall was not mentioned first, but Jiang Shiwu was dizzy when he heard it, and he asked if he didn't understand: Xiaoyun, he has a lot of sky, what does he mean?
Jiang Shiyun is a top student among sports students, but at this time, he can only pretend to understand, and he is serious: He is just showing off his classics and remembering a lot, they are all a bunch of useless nonsense, and they don't need to understand.Jiang Shiwu felt that what Xiaoyun said must be right, and he was no longer entangled, if Lin Fangxu knew the conversation between the two on the tree, he would definitely high-five and agree, the person he liked was bright-eyed, isn't it just a bunch of reasonable nonsense, to put it bluntly, that is, for the ruler, the people are the most important, and for the people, eating is the most important, so as long as you eat enough, whoever cares about you will be the emperor.Scholars definitely can't say it so bluntly, but even if Dong Kun quotes scriptures and says so much, he still can't hide it, he actually says it too generally.Shen Mao also discovered this, stood up and retorted: Brother Dong has said so much, and it seems that it is quite insincere, the people take food as the sky, why does Brother Dong keep his mouth shut, who took away the people's sky?
Everyone was shocked when they saw his compelling tone, only to see that he hesitated for a moment, and then said in a firm tone: Why did the people lose the sky?
Without him, corrupt officials set up clever names, rampant wealth accumulation, and even disaster money was corrupted; mediocre officials do nothing, close their eyes and ears, and even collude with each other; The princes of the court either did not act, or acted recklessly.In the following view, the reason for the collapse of the former dynasty is very simple, it is all because of the corruption of officials!
After Shen Mao finished speaking, he sat down directly, as if his heart was still a little agitated, and his face was serious, and the others were shocked in their hearts, and even the face said that this gentleman is a true warrior!
Zhu Xianzong, who was sitting in a high position, still did not move, but Zhu Xianwen smiled, hehe, many officials, including Dong Kong's two elders, are all former courtiers, this scholar is really not afraid of offending people, eh, speaking of which, the emperor's grandfather was the marshal of the former dynasty, wasn't he also scolded in?
!
Hey!
This shaft!
Kong Jue's inner activities at this time were not as exciting as those of the third prince, but he also felt that what Shen Mao said was inappropriate, so he stood up and frowned: According to what Brother Shen said, isn't it too generalized, although the rule of the former dynasty officials was not clear, but there were also many people with lofty ideals.Jiang Shiyun angrily broke the sycamore branch in front of him in his hand, this person is really cunning, what is there to do with Tilin Yushi, that is someone else's ancestor, not yours.Jiang Shiyun's mentality at this time, in the words of modern fans, is that you don't come to rub the popularity of my male god ancestors!
Lin Fangxu, whose ancestors were rubbed off on the heat and didn't know it, raised his eyebrows at this time, and listened to Kong Jue continue with a smile: The next point of view is actually very simple, the reason for the direct death of the previous dynasty is the invasion of foreign enemies.After Kong Jue finished saying his simple opinion, he also sat down directly, and everyone thought to themselves, it is indeed very simple!
Even Jiang Shiwu couldn't help but mutter: How can this person be on the same level as me?
Jiang Shiyun rolled his eyes again after hearing this, you are the real level, and people are deliberately saying it simply.The scholars of Zhejiang looked at each other at this time, after Mengnu, it was the first emperor who ascended the throne, Kong Jue seemed to be simple, but he set a big trap for the opponent.The crown prince Zhu Xianzong had a hint of interest in his eyes at this time, and when he saw everyone in Zhejiang, no one stood up to refute the other party for a while, and he also followed everyone to look at Lin Fangxu, the descendant of people with lofty ideals.Lin Fangxu really doesn't want to be in a hurry, but everyone has mentioned his ancestors, and after being a celebrity, he can't be afraid of things, right?
In everyone's expectation, Lin Fangxu stood up slowly, and said with a smile: Hehe, Brother Kong's argument is really extremely interesting, just like a peony that has withered in the flower bed, the gardener pulls it out, Brother Kong stood next to the discarded dead branch, shook his head and sighed, it shouldn't be pulled out, water more, maybe it will come back to life, but he pretends not to see the root that has rotted down a long time ago.Puff Zhu Xianwen couldn't help laughing out loud for the first time, and when he saw the eldest brother of the prince turning his head to look at him, he hurriedly said: Xie Yuanlang described it so funny, haha Zhu Xianzong also smiled and said: It's really funny., everyone below seemed to have permission, and they couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.Lin Fangxu walked to the middle of the Dao Hall, his eyes slowly swept over the surrounding scholars, and when he swept over the two people squatting on the Wutong book, he paused for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing happened, and the scholars who were swept by him gradually stopped laughing.Lin Fangxu asked at this time: What are you studying for?
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that of course it was to be an official, but if they said it, it must be to serve the court and support the society.Lin Fangxu didn't wait for everyone to finish speaking, and the head of the school recited the three-character text, shaking his head casually and saying: The rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of millets in the book.There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book.Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book.If a boy follows his life's aspirations, he reads the Six Classics to the window.After Lin Fangxu finished reciting, he said with a smile: Is Qian Zhongsu and the Golden House really from the book?
No!
If your goal in studying is only for the Thousand Chung Su and the Golden House, after you pass the Jinshi examination and are awarded the official ranks, you will find that the book actually does not have these things that you want.Lin Fangxu swept the crowd and continued: After disappointment, you will find that there is no book in the book, but you can use the right to read books to seek it.
