These words were finally spoken, and upon hearing these words, Yang Shi, who had a lot of knowledge to debate with Emperor Zhao, looked up in surprise, but did not open his mouth at all... Because only then did he understand the state of mind of Emperor Zhao when he left Wuyue Temple yesterday - people with different beliefs cannot work together!

Not to mention that there is no need to worry about what people say, and the country has enough money without increasing taxes on the people... these two are technical issues that can be discussed.

But the first two sentences are horrible.

Don’t fear fate!

This statement could be easily accepted by Hu Anguo, and it could be discussed by Luo Congyan and Li Dong, but it was a fatal thing for Yang Shi... Although later generations have always believed that Song Dynasty Confucianism, including Taoism, was essentially a reaction against Han Confucianism, and was an act of self-rescue and reconstruction of Confucianism after realizing that Han Confucianism's ideas of the correspondence between heaven and man and the cycle of the five virtues were nonsense, but what is interesting is that in Yang Shi, he was rare in still adhering to the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man.

And the ancestors are not worthy of being followed... This sentence not only cost Yang Shi his life, but was also a fatal statement that all other Taoist scholars could not tolerate. More importantly, it was also an important and obvious political statement.

This means that the Shu Wang New Learning trend that had lasted for many generations, which respected new learning and advocated utilitarianism, has returned.

Not only that, Zhao Jiu's announcement made several great scholars completely speechless, and not a single minister took the initiative to refute... What to refute? To refute a leader of the Restoration who spent all day digging fish ponds and found Yang Shi, who had to flatter him when he came?

Emperor Zhao has not demonstrated his authority much in the past few months, but not demonstrating it does not mean that it does not exist. Everyone knows that this emperor's authority was gained through the restoration of the old capital and the battle of Yaoshan, and it is almost unshakable.

Zhao Ding dared not make any arrangements, Zhang Jun guessed the emperor's mind all day, Ma Shen could only impeach Yang Yizhong, Chen Gongfu thought Zhao Jiu was making a fuss, and Lu Hao asked how a remnant of the old party could become the leader of the original school? It was because they all knew that the official's political authority was unshakable.

If he wants to sew something together, or do anything else, there is no room for political resistance at this time. As for the popular tendency and academic discussion, the loud noise in front of Xuande Building just now has already given this sewed-up monster a minimum place to stand.

In other words, after the loud noise, the academic debate that lasted for many days, basically reached the point where Emperor Zhao said what was meant by what he said... This is called saying what you mean and the law follows what you say. The so-called true people in the Yuanshen period are simply not good enough.

"I have made up my mind." Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Jiu simply ordered, "From now on, this school will be the official school. When I hold imperial lectures, teach at the Imperial College, and recruit scholars, all of them will be based on the school."

Lu Haowen remained silent for a while before he clasped his hands and replied, "I thank the emperor for his grace."

Zhao Ding and other ministers and important officials also stepped out and bowed their heads in response.

"Taoism and other schools of thought are not prohibited. For example, famous Taoist scholars such as Hu Anguo and Yin Dun who have official positions in the capital can all become professors and enter the Imperial College to teach."

After hesitating for a while, Hu Anguo and Yin Dun stepped forward and nodded in agreement... Let's put things one way and there is no need to oppose this matter.

"In the second year of Jianyan in Nanyang, I have already pardoned the Yuanyou Party members once. Today, I will publicly pardon them again. No matter whether they are new or old party members, they will all be pardoned. They can enter the government and take exams as usual."

At this moment, everyone including Lu Haowen, including Yang Shi, bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

"Shu Wang (Wang Anshi) is back in the rank of worship." Zhao Jiu paused for a moment before adding softly to the oldest person in front of him, "Mr. Guishan is old and virtuous, so he was given gold to return home."

Yang Shi opened his mouth to speak, but in the end nothing came out… Who made the other party his subject?

PS: I recommend books, three of them in one go: "My Sister Really Dotes on Me Too Much", "The Farmer King of the Tang Dynasty", and "The Ming Dynasty Under the Mask"... I wish you all good health... I ended up buying twenty books today.
