Chapter 354 It's not easy to be the chief priest

It was completely completed after a grand ceremony. Liu Heng appointed thirteen classics doctors in the academy and made the thirteen classics the official classics, which basically covered the classics of the four major schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and Legalism.

However, thanks to the Confucianists' ability to cultivate disciples, seven of the Thirteen Classics are Confucian classics. The weakest is the Mohist school, which is the only one with only one faction. The leader of the Mohist school is still in Zhaocheng, and the essence of the Mohist school is in the Luo family. They have already merged into one. Only two or three big cats and small cats have come to Chang'an, which is more like a tentacle reaching out.

[Han Taixue is established, and you get 2000 luck points.]

Ji Zhao, who was in deep sleep, had no idea that such a piece of news had suddenly arrived. Lord Luo Ming was truly worthy of being the son of destiny. It had been who knows how many years since his death, but he could still provide Ji Zhao with a sum of luck points.

The Imperial Academy.

This was the first meeting since the establishment of the academy.

Luo Jing, as the chief priest, sat at the head of the hall. At the front on both sides were scholars with white hair and beards, thirteen in total. They were all leaders of factions, highly respected scholars, and now doctors of the Imperial College.

Behind these people, there are some older faces, all of whom are world-famous Confucian scholars, Mohists, etc. These old guys came to Chang'an because they were worried that a debate would occur and the young people would not be able to handle it, thus bringing shame to the entire Confucianism and school.

Further back were the younger disciples, who looked very elegant and easy-going. Some of them were quite strong and powerful, but their swords had been taken away to prevent them from getting carried away during the debate and directly drawing their swords to kill people.

The Mohist school is fine, as it originally had a knight-errant style and had a tradition of traveling the world with a sword. Han Fei said a long time ago that a knight-errant would break the law with force, and this knight-errant is the Mohist school.

Meng Shiru was also the one who would draw his sword at the slightest disagreement. He had shouted so many times about killing tyrants and traitors that everyone looked like a traitor. Over the years, more people had died in fighting than from angering their superiors.

Now, so many schools of thought are sitting together in the hall. This scene has not been seen for more than ten years.

Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the last time it was Luo Chen who summoned people from hundreds of families, and the time before that it was Luo Ling who summoned them. Every time it was the Luo family who summoned them. This was the first time that the court had gathered so many people, and as a result, when they looked at the head, the holy mark was really glaring.

Luo Jing said loudly: "I believe everyone here knows me."

The son of King Luo Wen, the only son of the Luo family outside Zhaocheng, who wouldn't know him?

Luo Jing clasped his fists towards the direction of the imperial palace and said, "Thanks to the Emperor for his high regard for me, I was appointed as the chief priest of the Imperial Academy, shouldering the important task of educating talents for the Han Dynasty.

Although I have talent and reputation, I am still young after all. When I received this important task, I felt nervous and cautious, as if I was treading on thin ice.

I just feel worried.

You are all world-renowned and learned people, which is why you are able to come here.

The importance of the Imperial College is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Your Majesty has expressed great concern. You must all pay attention to the customs of the disciples of various schools. In the future, if the world's talented people come here without the fragrance of bamboo, orchid and angelica, it will not be beautiful.

In the future, the atmosphere in the Imperial College will still require you to set an example yourself."

Upon hearing this, the great Meng Confucian Ming Chenggong said, "Please rest assured, my lord. Meng disciples have always cultivated their minds and cultivated their character, and practiced benevolence and righteousness. They will never make things difficult for you. You should be careful of certain people.

Back then, someone's teacher colluded with the tyrannical Qin during the Qin Dynasty and even participated in the scandal of killing a fellow scholar. Such a villain, mixed in with gentlemen like us, must be... "

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at other Confucian factions, especially those that were in conflict with Mencius.

On the contrary, he did not look at Mohism, which had always been in conflict with Confucianism. The main reason was that he did not take the two or three big cats and small cats of Mohism seriously.

Luo Mo is Mo, what are the others?

He is just a brainless reckless man. We, the disciples of Confucianism, are warriors with brains. We disdain to hang out with those low-class people and lower our standards!

Although Meng Mingcheng said nothing, it seemed as if he had said everything.

Although no names were mentioned, who doesn’t know what happened back then?

Someone immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Meng Mingcheng! What do you mean by this?"

Everyone thought Meng Mingcheng would jump up and curse back, but unexpectedly, Meng Mingcheng smiled coldly and said leisurely: "There is a story in the "Collection of Humors" that I wonder if you have heard of.

There was a man in Song whose house was robbed. He suspected his neighbor, but could not determine which house it was. A man from Luo passed by and heard about it. He said to the man from Song: "Throw a stone into a pack of dogs. The one that barks the loudest is the one that was hit by the stone. Hit the grass with a stick and snakes will come out. With this method, how can you not find the thief?" The man from Song spread the news that he was going to the government to find an official to arrest the thief. In this way, the thief was caught. Finally, he laughed and said: "You are the dog that barks the loudest!"

hiss!

That’s her mother!

Everyone in the hall gasped. This was too cruel. He pointed at someone's nose and cursed. The man's face turned red with anger and he was almost dying.

Meng Mingcheng was furious. He knew that the blood feud of the Qin royal family could no longer be avenged as it had been basically dealt with by Hu Hai.

Moreover, although the enemies are hateful, the traitors are even more infuriating. Meng Ru has fallen from being the leader of the Confucian school and the best in the world to his current situation, and even needs the support of the Luo family to recover, all because of the backstabbing of these traitors.

He asked everyone with a smile, "Have you ever heard of this story?

Duke Xuancheng?

"Yang Linjun?"

Meng Mingcheng specifically asked people outside the Confucian school, but the people from the Huang-Lao school and the Mohist school said nothing. They decided not to interfere in the dispute within the Confucian school.

"Meng Mingcheng!

You old bastard are going too far. I will fight you to the death!

Don’t you dare!

It wasn't just one person, but a lot of people looked at Meng Mingcheng angrily, with expressions as if they wanted to eat him alive.

As the saying goes: Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose people's weaknesses when scolding them.

Meng Mingcheng directly tore off the other person's face, spat twice, fanned his nose and said: It stinks.

Given the character of the Confucians of this era, it would be irrational not to fight to the death.

Whether you are a true gentleman or a hypocrite, you cannot sit idly by and watch such insults, otherwise you will die socially.

Meng Mingcheng seemed to have just seen this group of angry Confucian scholars, and asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Why is Mr. Huang De so angry?

Did something I said just now offend you?"

Uh~~

Huang De was choked by Meng Mingcheng's words. In this situation, he suddenly found that he could not say anything. Should he directly admit that he had betrayed his fellow colleagues?

Do I have to admit that I am the dog that barks the loudest?

He never expected that Meng Mingcheng could be so tolerant. Even though he was shouting for his life, Meng Mingcheng was still sitting on the Diaoyutai, letting him, the fish, slip away.

As a result, he is now in a difficult situation and has become a laughing stock in the palace and even in the world. This incident today will definitely be recorded in a comedy collection.

Seeing Huang De didn't say anything, Meng Mingcheng swung out the last knife lightly, and then he clasped his fists towards Luo Jing and said seriously: "My lord.

Huang De speaks nonsense in front of all the talented and virtuous people, and even uses dirty words in front of you. He is really unworthy of being a doctor. Can the people taught by such a person become pillars of the court?

If I were to appear before Your Majesty in the future and say those filthy words, it would truly be our fault.

Perhaps people all over the world would think that the Imperial Academy is full of such people.

You are the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy. Wouldn't this affect your reputation?

I am really worried about you."

Meng Mingcheng's tone of voice was not harsh, but rather full of emotion, but this was precisely what made his words most convincing.

Huang De felt cold all over. He looked up at Luo Jing and saw that Luo Jing's eyes were full of coldness. He couldn't help feeling despair in his heart.

Then, Luo Jing's voice came from the top, without any emotion in his voice, "Ming Chenggong, what you said makes sense.

When educating people, the Imperial Academy places the highest emphasis on moral character, followed by talent and learning.

If one has virtue but no talent, at least there will be one more gentleman in the world. If one has talent but no virtue, then he will be a great harm to the world.

Huang De has no moral integrity, similar to his ancestors and teachers. He should no longer stay in the Imperial College. He and his students should be expelled."

Huang De's whole body swayed. He had no idea how he suddenly became like this and why he was suddenly expelled. He really couldn't understand it.

It was not until he saw the sneer on Meng Mingcheng's lips that he realized that Meng Mingcheng had been planning to provoke him for a long time. This was a trap set by Meng Mingcheng!

"My Lord!"

Huang De struggled to say something, but was taken away by the guards.

There was silence in the hall. Everyone looked at Meng Mingcheng, thinking of the Confucian saint who was known for his unparalleled eloquence - Mencius.

He had criticized almost all the schools of thought in the world, and many kings and princes had also been criticized by him. It can be said that apart from the Luo family, only a few people had not been scolded by him.

Now it seems that the fighting power of this lineage has not weakened in the slightest. It is indeed worthy of being a school that dares to directly call for the killing of tyrants in the classics!

So brave!

Luo Jing felt that his position as the chief priest might be a little difficult, so he said, "When Your Majesty gets the ancient books from Zhaocheng, the Imperial College can be officially opened to recruit talented people from all the counties and states."
