After the first, second, and third seats from both sides elaborated on their views, a sharp attack and defense began.
Zhang Zhi took the lead and asked Yang Shiqi: "Standing here, do you rely on the Four Books and Five Classics, or the hundreds of schools of miscellaneous arts?"
This question shows your sharpness!
If Yang Shiqi's answer relies on the Four Books and Five Classics, then fine. This is the foundation for becoming an official. Just practice it well and don't do anything else.
If Yang Shiqi said to rely on hundreds of miscellaneous arts, that would be easy to handle. He is an editor of the Hanlin Academy. How can he be in the Hanlin Academy without knowledge?
Everyone looked at Yang Shiqi.
However, Yang Shiqi was not in a hurry, picked up the tea, took a sip, stood up leisurely, and said: "A hundred schools of miscellaneous arts nourish my body, and the Four Books and Five Classics mold my spirit. Just like parents, the two cannot be separated. I don't know Zhang Siye, my father and I Mother, are you okay?"
puff!
Zhu Yunwen spit out a sip of tea.
I go.
Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi, is your counterattack too sharp?
A good debate, what do you do when you greet someone’s parents?
Everyone below also burst into laughter.
Although Yang Shiqi compared his parents with the Four Books and Five Classics and the hundreds of schools of miscellany, he was telling Zhang Zhi that the Four Books and Five Classics are important, and so are the hundreds of schools of miscellany.
But when it reaches people’s ears, the translation becomes:
Zhang Zhi, although your father is important, your mother is also important. If your parents don't have both, wouldn't you be an orphan?
Xie Jin's hands were trembling a little. Xie Jin had seen Yang Shiqi's talents before, but he didn't expect that Yang Shiqi seemed amiable, but when he made moves, he was extremely deadly.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhi's face was bruised and purple, his eyes were staring red, but he was speechless. People are just showing friendly concern and asking if your parents are okay, what else can you do?
Zhang Zhi failed in the defense, and Chen Xingshan did not dare to challenge Yang Shiqi. Afraid that Yang Shiqi would greet his parents again, he chose Yao Guangxiao and asked: "The Four Books and Five Classics are the foundation for the imperial court to recruit scholars. If it is mixed with other subjects, wouldn't it be a drag on the supervising students?" , how to become an official in the future?"
As soon as this question came out, all the supervisors couldn't help but cheer up.
If the imperial court adds other subjects to the Imperial College, it will inevitably distract the supervisors' time and energy. If it affects their future career, they will ignore it even if learning miscellaneous skills is beneficial.
This question really gets to the point.
Yao Guangxiao took a deep look at Chen Xingshan, stood up and said, "Before answering this question, could you please ask Chen Shilang to ask Yao a question?"
"Why ask?"
"After the imperial examination, anyone who becomes a Jinshi
, what kind of official position should be assigned? "
"Depending on their ability, they will be awarded to officials such as Shi, Yushi, Chief, Zhongshu, Xingren, Pingshi, Taichang, Guozi Doctor, Fu Tuiguan, Zhizhou, and County Magistrate."
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao looked at everyone and said: "Those who pass the Jinshi examination can be directly appointed to official positions by the imperial court! On the other hand, what about the Imperial College supervisors? They can only go to various departments and places to experience things, and then wait for appointment to official positions a few years later."
"Have you ever thought about the fact that the imperial examination will become the mainstream, where will the way out for the supervisory students? What advantages can they use to win over the world's intellectual elite? If there is no advantage, why should the imperial court select talents among the supervisory students?"
"The future of the Imperial College students should be capable ministers and officials who are proficient in miscellaneous skills and win the imperial examinations from two capitals and thirteen provinces with their talents! And this is the way out for the Imperial College. In other words, without innovation, the Imperial College will decline!"
Yao Guangxiao's words were like a violent storm, sweeping away all the prison students!
Although the Imperial College is not in decline, as Yao Guangxiao said, the way out for Imperial College students is getting narrower and more difficult.
Especially the emergence of the calendar system means that all supervisory students who want to become officials, in addition to passing the rigorous assessment of the Imperial College, have to be transferred to local areas for several years before they can register with the Ministry of Personnel. As for when it will be their turn to be an official, then It’s up to God.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the imperial examination system has been vigorously promoted. From the holding of the imperial examination one year in advance, it can be seen that the imperial court is paying more attention to the selection of scholars through the imperial examination rather than the selection from the Imperial College.
If future supervisors want to get ahead, it will be really difficult for them to rely solely on the Four Books and Five Classics.
Chen Xingshan was awakened by Yao Guangxiao's words. He was from the Ministry of Rites, so he didn't know that what Yao Guangxiao said was true.
In the thirty years since Hongwu, only five students from the Imperial College have entered the imperial court.
If Xu Miaojin hadn't selected ten people last year, plus the New Army policy selectors, I'm afraid there would have been very few official officials in the Imperial College.
The emperor was in a hurry to open the imperial examination, and he must have seen the problems in the Imperial College.
After all, the real sponsor of this great debate is the emperor.
Chen Xingshan glanced at Mao Hengtai, who was also shocked by Yao Guangxiao's words.
Mao Hengtai's hands trembled slightly, and he understood that he was destined to lose.
"Do you still need to defend yourself?"
Xu Miaojin asked.
Seeing both sides shaking their heads, Xu Miaojin knocked the gong and said, "In that case, let's debate freely."
Although there was a free debate, both sides fell into silence.
When Yao Guangxiao saw that the other party was silent, he stood up and said: "The matter is unclear. If the Imperial Academy wants to welcome the prosperous age, the only way to go out is
The way is innovation! The foundation of innovation is schoolwork! Take the Four Books and Five Classics as the bones, and the various arts as the flesh and blood! In the future, when Jiansheng enters the imperial court, he should be the mainstay! "
"If that's the case, what's the difference between the future of a supervisor and a subordinate?!"
Zhang Zhi stood up and asked sharply.
Yang Shiqi stood up, looked at Zhang Zhi, and said solemnly: "For ordinary people, subordinate officials are far more harmful than bureaucrats. If it is beneficial to the country and the people, Yang is willing to serve as a subordinate official and practice the saint's practice. Way! Zhang Siye, if you read the books of saints, do you know how important the people are? To serve the people, do you dare to serve as a subordinate? Or are you saying that you can only talk about the words of saints, but you don't have half of the saint's actions? "
Xia Yuanji echoed: "That's right! What's more, now the subordinate officials have been paid into the imperial court and included in the evaluation. If they perform well, they can be admitted to the ninth rank. All the children can take the imperial examination and become officials. There is no need to worry about the future. If you can become a subordinate official, It is also a good choice to benefit the people. Zhang Siye, are the subordinate officials in your place very despicable?"
"you!"
Zhang Zhi was choked and unable to refute.
Everyone could see clearly that in the free debate, the side supporting the reform of the Imperial College had the absolute upper hand.
After the free debate ended, Xu Miaojin looked at the crowd and shouted: "I believe that the graduates of the Imperial College already know where the future lies. I also believe that you will use your own attitude to decide the future of the Imperial College! Now, support Those of you who are reforming the academic curriculum in the Imperial College, please raise your hands!”
Xie Jin looked sideways, but no one moved.
At this moment, Xu Huizu raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "Only innovation is the way out!"
One person, two people, three people, many people.
"Only innovation can find a way out" voices echoed one after another, resounding throughout the sky!
Xu Miaojin's eyes couldn't help but heat up when she saw the crowd's support and Zhu Yunwen raising his hand.
Done!
The Imperial College can have a future!
Xu Miaojin knew that introducing miscellaneous students to the Imperial College was only the first step in the reform of the Imperial College.
The core of this step is not whether miscellaneous scholars can enter the Imperial College, but whether people's thoughts can break through the shackles of the Four Books and Five Classics!
Zhu Yunwen's face was full of smiles.
The Imperial College reformed the curriculum and cleared the biggest obstacle to the strategic vision of large-scale education.
In the future, I will take the Imperial College as the center to innovate education methods and content!
Talent!
I need real talents!
Only talented people can prosper the Ming Dynasty!
Only talents can create a prosperous world!
