Xuande

Chapter 94 They Lost
At the end of September in the fifth year of Guanghe, Zheng Xuan arrived in the capital in a low-key manner. After recuperating for several days to wash off his exhaustion, he met the emperor Liu Hong, followed by the great chaos of Dr. Li in "Zuo's Spring and Autumn".

The climax of this chaos was when Zheng Xuan personally went to the Taixue, and he was angry with the students from the Modern Literature School who were worried about losing their interests.

As the default doctor of "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu", Zheng Xuan felt that he needed to establish his status through an open academic debate.

After a hundred years, Zuo's Chunqiu once again established a school official, which made Zheng Xuan, who had long been indifferent to fame and wealth and refused to become an official, couldn't sit still.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Zheng Xuan almost rushed to Luoyang.

He is definitely not happy to simply be an official, and he may not be able to accept it even if he is given a sangong, he doesn't care about it.

But it's different for an official doctor who is a serious doctor.

This means that the School of Classical Chinese Classics has finally gained the upper hand in the long-standing dispute, forcibly tore a piece of meat from the impregnable academic and political defense of the School of Modern Literature, and swallowed it by itself.

As the master of the ancient literature school praised by everyone, the strongest person who established the academic advantages of the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, the recognized "spirit" by 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 end to his life's struggle.

This sense of ritual is what Zheng Xuan desires, he needs such a sense of ritual.

It seems that they got the news that Zheng Xuan was going to Taixue to give an academic speech, and many bigwigs of the Modern Literature School finally couldn't sit still. They felt that they couldn't leave the field to those young people who didn't have much academic accumulation.

Although since He Xiu, the real master of the Modern Literature School, passed away, they no longer had a recognized master, but they couldn't help but react when the other party dispatched a nuclear-weapon-level mind.

If he didn't appear on stage because he was afraid of failure, and Zheng Xuan really had to be given a chance to perform, the Modern Literature School would really be unable to turn around academically.

Along with Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi, Fuqian, Ma Rixun and other leading figures of the ancient literary school, as well as the mainstay of the new generation represented by Liu Bei.

For this purpose, the Jinwen School dispatched several representatives of Confucian classics inheritance families headed by Hongnong Yang, Peijun Longkanghuan, and Runan Xiyang Zhang to Taixue. Yang Ci, the patriarch of Hongnong Yang's family, was the leading figure.

On October [-]th of the fifth year of Guanghe, the two sides launched a peak duel in Luoyang Taixue, and each side sent people to the stage to debate under the eyes of everyone.

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 Taixue, and the entire Taixue was crowded and overcrowded.

Because there were so many people, Henan Yin and He Jin, the brother of Empress He, had to dispatch soldiers and horses to Taixue to maintain order and avoid major stampedes and death of too many people.

Also because there are too many people, if you stand a little farther away, you can't see or hear what the people on the high platform in the center are arguing about, how far the debate is going, the outcome of the debate, etc.

They could only listen to what was passed on from mouth to mouth, pretending that they understood it well, but in fact they didn't even know who Zheng Xuan and Yang Ci were.

The so-called experts watch the way, and laymen watch the excitement. In this debate, there are not many people who really come to see the way. Most of them are fun people, watching the fun.

But for a few experts, this is a matter of life and death.

The aged Yang Ciqiang energized and started a peak duel with the God of Scripture, Zheng Xuan. Under him, a group of bigwigs from the School of Modern Classics and bigwigs from the School of Classical Classics had a fierce confrontation.

Further down, the up-and-coming stars of the Ancient Classical School led by Liu Bei and the inheritors of the Modern Classical School launched a vigorous war of words.

Liu Bei took the lead, using his mouth as a gun and his tongue as a bullet, firing all the bullets, and beat all the "excellent inheritors" of Jinwen Confucianism opposite him to the point where they were powerless to fight back.

After so many years, your school of literature still hasn't come up with a set of useful "Han rituals" for the great Han emperor. What do you think is useful for you?

The status of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is lofty and unique, and you actually want to use the etiquette of scholars to restrain them?

What is the sense of the unity of heaven and man, is it appropriate to say these words now?

Does the emperor pay attention to you?
Do you know what the emperor needs?

You know, but you just don’t do it, you don’t have an emperor in your heart, you only have yourself in your heart!

Give you a chance and you are useless!
That being the case, then take the opportunity to you!

Liu Bei, in the name of the god of the new generation of Confucian classics, single-handedly caught seven or eight scholars of the Jinwen school of literature and violently exported them. His tongue was full of lotus flowers, and his mouth was full of fragrance. , There are even a few who have empty eyes and don't know what to say.

On the high-level battlefield, the ancient scriptures school team led by Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others quickly gained the upper hand, and defeated those old guys who were good at politics but not academics. lose.

All kinds of situations disappointed the students of Jinwen Confucianism who were watching.

Is this the elder we trust and entrust?

why?
Why are they so vulnerable when facing each other?
Actually retreating in a row?

Can't even take a single argument from the other party?
On the contrary, the contestants on the other side spit out fragrant tongues and blossomed lotus flowers.

Especially that Liu Xuande, after finishing his battle, was actually called by his teacher Lu Zhi to go to the high-level battlefield to support him, asking him to debate with those high-level modern literary masters.

Seeing that Lu Zhi clearly insulted them, the leaders of the modern literature school were very angry.

They exported their opinions and attacked Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't panic. He confronted Zhongmen with passion, and the opponent's blood spurted out and blue veins burst out, and he was about to vomit blood for three liters if he disagreed with him.

Not to mention the mainstays, they couldn't even suppress the rising stars of the ancient literature school, but were suppressed by the rising stars in turn, and their academic disadvantages were undoubtedly revealed.

This kind of scene fell into the eyes of the relatives and disciples of the Jinwen School below, and it undoubtedly had a huge impact on them. This huge impact made them stand in stark contrast to those students of the Ancient Literature School who were highly emotional.

While applauding loudly, the blood is surging, and I am very excited.

On the other hand, his complexion was gray and his eyes were empty, like a mourning concubine.

The debate started at the beginning of noon and lasted until sunset. The people who watched the excitement 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 peak battle.

What is the final result?
Yang Ci clenched his fist with a face full of unwillingness, lost all demeanor, and gritted his teeth looking at Zheng Xuan who looked normal.

He failed.

Marked by his failure, the entire Modern Literature School was completely defeated on the front lines of the old, middle and young generations, and was completely defeated by the Ancient Literature School.

They have no advantage at all.
