Sima Gate, the outermost gate in the south of the palace. Inside Sima Gate is the mansion where the public car mansion is located.

The Gongche Mansion usually accepts documents from local officials, letters from subjects, recruitment and reception, and collection of recommendations from the students, etc.

However, since the reform of the annual examination system became the imperial examination system, their burden has become slightly lighter.

The imperial examinations are placed in the tribute courts in various places and will be responsible by special local officials.

Emperor Xiang Yanran set up aboard the Sima Gate and sat high in the palace gate hall, preparing to listen to the face-to-face debate between Kong Hanyou and Xiao Hunhou.

Cai and the eunuchs were busy with their eunuchs and sent people to the Pingwang Mansion to summon Xiaohunhou and arrange this public debate.

The Grand Marshal Li Rong, the Censor Wang Su, and the two three Dukes were given seats in the left and right.

The other nine ministers, Taichang Lu Zi, the doctoral order Cui Haoran, the court lieutenant Zheng Jingrong, the great master Liu Qi, Zongzheng Xiang Hong, the Taifu Wang Xiao, the Weiwei Cheng Bushui, the Shaofu Xiao Gongwang, the grand reign Yang Chu and other senior officials sat on both sides of the palace gate hall and listened together.

The court officials with smaller positions could not sit in the Sima Gate Palace, so they could only go outside the palace gate to listen to the seat.

"Mr. Wang, your proposal is so clever!"

Yang Chu smiled and whispered.

Let Kong Hanyou and Xiao Hunhou have a big debate in public, which makes their contradictions open, intense, and rapidly worsen.

In this way, the Confucian school and Xiaohunhou families will not get together again, and will find ways to deceive the nobles of these families.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, they will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and they will win and not lose.

"where!"

Wang Su smiled and said, "The more you argue, the clearer the more you make. Whoever makes sense, we will naturally support whoever. I am also curious why Xiao Hunhou loves to win all the students!"

...

The main minister Kong Hanyou left outside the palace.

"All Confucian scholars are here!"

"The Emperor Shengming has allowed me to debate the imperial examinations with Xiao Hunhou in public outside the palace. Should we take the general or Confucian subjects? Everyone retreated to the palace gate and listened to the debate."

"The little humble man is coming in a moment, and the venue is given out!

He said to the Confucian scholars who knelt outside the palace gate and cried and wrote to the letter.

"The emperor is wise!"

"Prime Minister Xie presided over justice for us!"

Suddenly, thousands of Confucian scholars heard this and couldn't help but cheer.

The emperor did not directly believe Xiao Hunhou, but gave them a chance to debate. This brought them the last chance to save the overall situation.

As long as the Lord and Prime Minister can argue on the spot, and only the Confucian subjects can be taken in the imperial examination, their Confucian scholars will usher in an unprecedented prosperous era.

The Confucian scholars immediately gave up the venue outside the palace gate.

On both sides of the palace gate, Kong Hanyou sat on the right side of the ground with a ball of puffs on the right side.

Thousands of Confucian scholars sat down behind the master Kong Hanyou.

It seems that there are many people and a large area. They represent the Confucian scholars in Jinling, and tens of thousands of Confucian scholars in hundreds of counties and counties of the Great Chu Dynasty.

On the other side is Xiao Hunhou's position. Of course, it is an empty bungalow, and no one is standing nearby.

It is obvious that no one will stand on Xiao Hunhou's side.

Soon, this shocking news quickly spread throughout Jinling City, causing a sensation.

The Confucian scholars who did not participate in the protest also rushed outside the palace to cheer and gathered thousands of people.

Many princes and family members rushed outside the palace to listen to the open and grand debate between Lord Kong and Xiao Hunhou.

Even the old Prime Minister Xie Huyong rode a carriage and surrounded by the children of the Xie family, he came to listen to the big debate.

There were more and more people gathered outside the palace to watch the fun, nearly tens of thousands of people.

There was a scattered outside the palace.

...

A team of eunuchs came to the Pingwang Mansion and informed Xiaohunhou to go to the palace immediately.

Not long after, a five-horse carriage left the Pingwang Mansion and headed straight for the palace.

"Husband, this time the palace is urgently summoning you and Lord Kong to debate the general examination dispute in public. I am afraid that this move will be a bad person."

Li Yu was in the carriage and was a little worried.

In front, my husband had just offended the Lord Xie Hu Yong, and the nobles of the family are still annoying my husband Xiaohunhou.

Now the main minister Kong Hanyou turned against him because of the imperial examination and the general examination. This public debate clearly means that he will trample his husband hard.

My husband offended all the officials of the court.

After that, how can you continue to survive in the officialdom?

"Yes, the princess said it well. Confucius was not a good thing. He must have gathered a group of Confucian scholars to make things difficult for the son-in-law."

Joey also nodded repeatedly.

Chu Tianxiu closed her eyes and pondered, thinking about this matter.

If he traveled to the Tang and Song dynasties, or even the Ming and Qing dynasties, the general trend of Confucianism being the only one has been established, so let's not raise anything.

If he fought against Confucianism and promoted the imperial examination, he would probably be exiled by Confucian scholars and would be left with no trash. In that case, he could only pretend to be his grandson, either be his own little marquis or take the imperial examination obediently.

However, this Great Chu Dynasty is different. The officials of the "Huang and Lao Art" are very powerful and are still far from "respecting Confucianism alone".

Although Confucianism has become a huge force at the bottom of the Great Chu Dynasty, Jinling City alone has gathered thousands of Confucian scholars, but it is far from the level of responding to the public in the court.

The noble faction of the aristocratic families is the core of the imperial officials.

Although these scholars of the clans also read Confucian books, they also read Huang-Lao's books and various miscellaneous books.

They read all kinds of books and learned a lot.

Scholars put family interests first and did not care much about the rise and fall of Confucianism.

If Confucianism is not good, if you change the theory, life will still be the same.

Huang Laozhi's School has been booming for sixty or seventy years, but it has not been difficult for them to live.

The Great Chu Dynasty is now the rise of Confucian forces in hundreds of counties and counties, and they shouted "Abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone"... It is only one step away from the dominance of Confucian officials.

One step away is the huge difference between heaven and earth.

Since Confucianism has not yet dominated.

Of course, Chu Tianxiu was not afraid to beat Kong Hanyou. If he suppressed Confucianism, he would suppress it. So what?

The Emperor of Qin suppressed Confucianism. Confucianism had no other way except to scold the Emperor of Qin and try hard to smear.

He still had the opportunity to nipple Confucianism's ambition to "respecte Confucianism" in its infancy.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for you."

Chu Tianxiu opened her eyes and smiled faintly.

When he launched the "Imperial Examination System", he had long expected that it would be today. So he laid the groundwork early and won the position of the chief examiner.

Kong Hanyou and Confucian officials had long dreamed of "deposing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", suddenly became shattered overnight because of the imperial examination.

The Confucian scholars in the world will definitely make a big counterattack, hoping to bring down his examiner.

However, Chu Tianxiu did not expect that this would be the way - Kong Hanyou, the leader of the Confucian school, wanted to debate the pros and cons of general and Confucianism in front of Confucian scholars and officials in the court.

Since everyone talks together, let’s do it!

What Chu Tianxiu is afraid of is that others can't beat them by using swords and guns. He is not afraid of others' words.

The main minister Kong Hanyou talked with Confucian scholars, and he was not afraid of anything.

...

In full view of everyone, a carriage from the Prince Ping's Mansion arrived at the Sima Gate of the Palace.

Chu Tianxiu got off the carriage and asked Li Yu and others to wait outside.

He was led by the eunuch to the outside of the palace gate.

Emperor Xiang Yanran, who was in the palace gate of Chu Tianxiuchao, bowed, "I am summoned to listen to the sage order!"

"Little Hunhou, Master Kong and Confucian scholars have a lot of opinions on the imperial examination questions. They think that Kobe Kobe is better than the general examination in the whole subject and want to debate with you in public. I and the ministers all want to hear your thoughts, and you two speak freely. I will not pursue it."

Xiang Yanran pointed outside the palace gate and said.

"yes!"

Chu Tianxiu bowed and looked at the right side of the palace gate of a vast area of ​​Confucian scholars.

Then he sat on the ground on the only puddle on the left side of the empty palace gate, facing Prime Minister Kong Hanyou from afar, and sat calmly on the ground.

"Prime Minister, please give me advice!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled and said.
