At the end of September of the fifth year of Guanghe, Zheng Xuan arrived in the capital in a low-key manner. After resting for a few days to wash away his fatigue, he met with the emperor Liu Hong. What followed was a big fight to establish a doctor in "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals".
The peak of this great chaos was when Zheng Xuan personally went to Taixue to express his anger towards the Taixue students who came from the Jin Dynasty School of Literature, who appeared to be angry but were actually worried about losing their interests.
As the default doctor of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals", Zheng Xuan felt that he needed to establish his status through a public academic debate.
After a hundred years, the Zuo family once again established academic officials in the Spring and Autumn Period, which made Zheng Xuan, who had long been indifferent to fame and fortune and unwilling to serve as an official, unable to sit still.
After receiving the emperor's order, Zheng Xuan almost rushed to Luoyang.
He would definitely not be happy to be a mere official, and he might not be able to accept it even if he was given a job. He didn't care about that.
But being a serious official doctor is different.
This means that the Ancient Classics School has finally gained the upper hand in the long-standing disputes. It has torn a piece of meat from the impregnable academic and political defenses of the Modern Literature School and swallowed it for itself.
As the master praised by everyone in the ancient literature school, the strongest person who established the academic advantage of the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, the recognized [spiritual spirit] of everyone, and the recognized leader of the ancient literature school that has initially condensed into an entity, Zheng Xuan needs to do something.
This can be regarded as a successful conclusion to his life's struggle.
This sense of ritual is what Zheng Xuan longs for, he needs this sense of ritual.
It seems that they got the news that Zheng Xuan was going to Taixue to give an academic speech. Many big guys in the Jinwen School finally couldn't sit still. They felt that they couldn't leave the place to those young people with little academic accumulation.
Although they no longer have a recognized master since the death of He Xiu, the real master of Jinwen School, they still have to react if the other party uses nuclear weapons-level nerves.
If Zheng Xuan is not given a chance to perform because he is afraid of failure, then the Jinwen School will really be unable to turn around academically.
Accompanying Zheng Xuan on the expedition were leading figures of the ancient literary school such as Lu Zhi, Fu Qian, and Ma Rixi, as well as the mainstays of the new generation represented by Liu Bei.
For this purpose, the Jinwen School dispatched several representatives of Confucian classics inheritance families, including the Yang family of Hongnong, the Longkanghuan family of Peijun, and the Zhang family of Xiyang, Runan, to Taixue. "" Yang Ci, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, is the leading figure.
The two sides launched a peak showdown at Luoyang Taixue on October 11th, the fifth year of Guanghe's reign. Each side sent people to the stage to debate in front of everyone's attention.
Due to the influx of tens of thousands of Taixue students and enthusiastic people from Luoyang, there was no room for so many people inside the Taixue, and the entire Taixue was overcrowded and overcrowded.
There were so many people that He Jin, the brother of Queen Yin of Henan and Queen He, had to dispatch troops to Taixue to maintain order and avoid a major stampede and the death of too many people.
Because there are so many people, if you stand a little further away, you won't be able to see or hear what the people on the high platform in the center are debating, the extent of the debate, the outcome of the debate, etc.
They could only listen to what was passed down orally and pretend to understand, but in fact they may not even know who Zheng Xuan and Yang Ci were.
As the saying goes, insiders watch the show, while laymen watch the excitement. Not many people really come to watch this debate, most of them are just people who want to have fun.
But for a handful of experts, it's a matter of life and death.
The old Yang Ci worked hard and started a peak showdown with Zheng Xuan, the god of scriptures. Under him, a group of bosses from the Modern Classics School and the bosses from the Ancient Classics School had a fierce battle.
Further down, the rising stars of the Ancient Classics School led by Liu Bei and the inheritors of the Modern Classics School started a vigorous war of words.
Liu Bei took the lead, using his mouth as a spear and his tongue as bullets. He fired all the bullets, beating the "excellent inheritors" of the Jinwen Jing School opposite him until they were unable to fight back.
After so many years, your school of modern literature still hasn’t come up with a useful set of "Han rites" for the emperor of Han Dynasty. What do you think is the use of you?
The emperor of the Han Dynasty has a lofty and unique status. You actually want to use the courtesy of scholars to restrict them?
Why do heaven and man feel the unity of heaven and man? Is it appropriate to say these words now?
Does the Emperor of Han pay attention to you?
Do you know what the Emperor of Han needs?
You know it, but you just don’t do it. You don’t have the Emperor in your heart, you only have yourself in your heart!
I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it!
In this case, let's take the opportunity!
Liu Bei, in the name of the God of Classical Debate of the New Generation, captured seven or eight scholars of the Modern Classics School and violently attacked him. His tongue blossomed like a lotus flower and his mouth vomited fragrant fragrance. He made those inheritors of the Classical Classics School red-faced and doubtful about life. , there are even a few whose eyes are empty and confused.
On the high-level battlefield, the Ancient Classics School team led by Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others quickly gained the upper hand, and defeated those old guys who were better at politics than academics. Defeated.
All these situations greatly disappointed the students of the Jinwen Jing School who were watching.
Is this the elder we trust?
Why?
Why are they so weak and powerless when facing each other?
Actually lost consecutively?
Can’t even take one of the other party’s arguments?
On the contrary, each of the opponent's contestants became more and more brave with fragrant mouths and lotus blossoms, and they had the potential to be like gods descending from the earth.
Especially that Liu Xuande, after finishing his own battlefield, his teacher Lu Zhi called him to the high-level battlefield to support him, and asked him to debate with those high-level Jinwen school bosses.
Seeing that Lu Zhi was clearly insulting them, the leaders of the Jinwen School were very angry.
They expressed their opinions and attacked Liu Bei fiercely. Liu Bei did not panic, and he sniped with Zhongmen, facing each other passionately. His opponent's blood was gushing and his veins were bulging. If he disagreed with him, he would vomit blood.
Not to mention the mainstays, they couldn't even suppress the rising stars of the ancient literature school. On the contrary, they were suppressed by the rising stars in turn. Their academic disadvantages were undoubtedly exposed.
This kind of scene fell in the eyes of the relatives and followers of the Modern Literature School below, and the impact on them was undoubtedly huge. This huge impact made them in sharp contrast to those students of the Ancient Literature School who were in high spirits.
While cheering loudly, blood surged up, and he was very excited.
On one side, his face was ashen and his eyes were empty, as if he were mourning for his heir.
The debate started at early noon and lasted until sunset. The spectators had gradually dispersed and went home to eat, but there were still tens of thousands of people staying here, waiting for the final result of this pinnacle battle.
What's the end result?
Yang Ci clenched his fist with a face full of reluctance, lost all his grace, and gritted his teeth as he looked at Zheng Xuan, who had a normal expression.
He failed.
Taking his failure as a symbol, the entire modern literature school was completely defeated on the front of the three generations of old, middle and young people. They were all defeated by the ancient literature school and suffered a crushing defeat.
They have no advantage at all.
