The hall was noisy.
Xu Ruqing smiled and said: "Since you two are going to debate, I dare you to ask a question for you, okay?"
Mr. Zhou smiled and nodded, saying flattering words such as honor.
"Qiu Wei is coming soon, you two might as well discuss it with Qiu Wei."
Xu Ruqing's suggestion was good. Everyone nodded, their eyes constantly flickering between Zhao An and Mr. Zhou, getting weirder and weirder.
Mr. Zhou stood up and said: "Then let me come first. As we all know, Qiuwei aims to select useful people from the people to contribute to the court. It inherits the nine-level Zhongzheng system. It mainly selects talents from aristocratic families. Students from aristocratic families have deep roots and rich knowledge. , entering the imperial court can become a mainstay. This time the Holy Sect comes to the capital to take charge of the overall situation, I think His Majesty also thinks so."
"well said!"
The people present here are all noble and noble families, representing the noble families, and Zhou Yushi's words touched their hearts.
Compared with the children of aristocratic families, civilian students are not worth mentioning, and they still want to become officials, which is just a fool's errand.
Unlike these noble families, Xu Ruqing frowned without any trace, obviously disagreeing.
Bang bang bang!
Zhao An clapped his hands and said, "It's better to listen to you than to listen to your words. Miss Xu is asking about the selection of young officials. The focus is on the direction. I am not here to flatter you."
Phew!
Que'er burst out laughing, Jiuyin glanced at him strangely, and Xu Ruqing showed a look of surprise. This was indeed her problem. Mr. Zhou just now didn't even know the problem at all, and he only wanted to flatter the famous family. .
It's just that the bearded man's mouth is too poisonous.
Mr. Zhou blushed, frowned and said, "Of course I know about Miss Xu's problem. Of course, the selection of officials focuses on Confucianism."
"Really, the Ministry of Industry is also looking for Confucian students? The Ministry of War is also looking for Confucian students? Planners and craftsmen can also let you know how to solve problems."
"you……"
Mr. Zhou froze and pointed at Zhao An's nose angrily, "Reckless man, what do you know! Confucianism is an important tool for the country! It is a model for governing the country. How dare you say that Chinese studies are not good!"
"Don't blame me. Which of your ears heard me saying that Chinese studies are no longer good? I mean you are no good."
Zhao An was careless and didn't give any face.
Everyone laughed secretly. The censor Yanguan was indeed annoying, but this bearded man helped everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Only the family members looked unhappy. Someone said: "Han Feng, I dare to ask this reckless man, what are you doing?" Do you understand Confucianism? The Holy Sect is in front of you, so you can’t be ashamed of your talk."
Zhao Andao: "Of course I understand."
"Humph, etiquette, benevolence, and filial piety are Confucian moral principles. I think you only talk nonsense and have no etiquette. It would be embarrassing to be in the same company as you."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you started attacking people without even saying a few words? If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."
Zhao An sipped a glass of wine, and with one sentence, the noisy hall fell silent for an instant.
Everyone looked over with disbelief. It was unimaginable that a warrior could say such philosophical words.
At this moment, Xu Ruqing's eyes lit up.
Chen Yuru beside her was a little strange, "He scolded you, what did you mean by that?"
Zhao An said loudly: "If I hear the news in the morning, I will die in the evening. If I know the way to your house in the morning, I will go there and beat you to death at night. Han Feng, if you dare to scold me again, it will be over to see if I can kill you."
puff!
At this moment, the whole audience burst into laughter, especially the talented girls, who were laughing so hard.
Chen Yuru looked dull, while Xu Ruqing covered her face directly, "This guy..."
Han Feng's face trembled, and his face turned the color of pig liver, "Is this the explanation!"
"Ancient Confucianism is different from modern Confucianism. At that time, a gentleman was proficient in all six arts, unlike you who only know how to talk and can't say good or bad. You said you are familiar with Confucianism, so let me ask you, a gentleman is not powerful if he does not have skills. what for?"
"I……"
"You will know how powerful I am when I beat you to death with a weapon."
"you!"
"If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up."
"..."
"If you don't respect me with etiquette, labor and management will beat you until you can't stand."
Han Feng is going crazy. This shameless and reckless man talks all kinds of nonsense, but he always talks about Confucian mottos and explains them in a different way.
Everyone chewed on what Zhao An said over and over again, and gradually found it quite interesting.
Especially Xu Ruqing wished she could change places with Jiuyin and talk alone.
She has never heard of these Confucian mottos, and she is obviously a reckless man. Why can she say such beautiful words that make her want to worship them? Taken alone, these words are enough to become a symbol of people's words and deeds. Of course, they must be removed. Those damn interpretations.
No one spoke after that. They all saw that there was something about this bearded man, and he had a rough personality. When you faced him, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier, and you couldn't explain why.
"Haha, what this gentleman said is the most profound gift from heaven and earth. It's amazing."
Cui Wengong arrived, and Chen Guogong came with him.
Everyone stood up and called Master Cui in unison.
Only Zhao An stood up and clasped his fists casually. He came from the future, studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, and was not very interested in Confucianism.
"Master Cui, look at this group of people. Not only did they occupy Miss Xu's seat, they also made arrogant remarks."
The Censor Yanguan started again, and several people were chattering like old hens.
Zhao An dug his ears and eyes and sat down to drink, not caring about their arrangement.
Chen Yuru looked at Chen Guogong. The latter's expression changed drastically. He could naturally recognize his daughter, but it was difficult for him to expose her. He glared fiercely, took the first seat with a flick of his sleeves, followed by Chen Yuan and Cui Shixiang. .
Xu Ruqing said: "My little lady doesn't care about the seats. As long as everyone is happy about studying today."
Cui Wengong smiled and said: "Miss Xu can come, it will make me look good. Today I should ask Miss Xu for advice."
"Master Cui is too polite. The little girl should listen carefully to the teachings."
They were polite and Zhao An almost fell asleep.
After a while, the wine was served.
Cui Wengong glanced at the group of distinguished guests in the hall and said some words of honor.
The Cui family was ordered to go to Beijing to preside over Qiu Wei, but how Qiu Wei's work is carried out ultimately depends on the family.
According to the previous regulations, the aristocratic families will divide the quota of candidates for official positions to ensure that the aristocratic family can have successors in the court and the family will not be destroyed.
The career of poor students was cut off as a result.
But as the Cui family is a holy sect, all students in the world, whether noble or common people, are disciples.
On this point, the Cui family and the aristocratic family are different, but they have to compromise due to the general trend of the world. This is the main purpose of today's discussion.
Cui Wengong had discussed with Chen Guogong before he came. He hoped to open up some channels for students from poor families, but Chen Guogong did not agree. He represented the aristocratic family class. If some official titles were opened, the support he received would weaken, which would be detrimental to his ascension to the throne.
Zhao An secretly observed Chen Guogong and Old Man Cui, and it was not difficult to see that there was a rift between the two.
In this way, the Holy Sect still has some backbone.
