Although Wang Zhen was a literati, as a eunuch, he had long lost his obsession with Confucianism and the concepts of his youth.

Chen Yichen's remarks were not very good, he just felt that this kid was too ostentatious. If he could not end up decently today, there would probably be various impeachment memorials in the future.

Now Wang Zhen has invested money on Shen Yichen. If it is affected by the frivolous behavior of teaching today, it will be a big loss.

"If you don't have the ability to end the game, it means you can't use it, and it's better to try it out."

The emperor is the emperor after all. No matter how close and respected Chen Yichen before, when the real test comes, if Chen Yichen cannot show his abilities and value, he will be ruthlessly abandoned.

Chen Yichen listened to the attacking remarks around him, and sighed in his heart. Now the Ming Dynasty’s “Only Neo-Confucianism” cannot tolerate any other views and dissent.

He suddenly understood why Li Zhi, a master of the late Ming Dynasty, chose to commit suicide in prison after arrogance and challenged feudal etiquette throughout his life.

Perhaps for Li Zhi at that time, he was no longer able to change the situation and had no face to return to his hometown. He did not want to have no warning to future generations, so he could only leave his name if he died!

Li Zhi failed to fight this world alone, and Chen Yichen has not yet, so he does not allow himself to fail!

As a changer, you should have the determination to do it without knowing it!

"What is heretical theory? All the words of this official can find the source in the speeches of the previous saints."

"Wei Hongru, is he questioning the words of the saint?"

Chen Yichen had already anticipated this scene from the time he decided to express his ideas.

It’s one thing to have courage, and it’s another thing to give away a head. He doesn’t want to die before he succeeds.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianists was the thoughts of Confucius, Mencius and Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. If you want to defeat them, you cannot rely on your passion and spirit. Only magic can defeat magic!

"It's okay if you're confused by evil words, but you dare to slander me and question the saint's words?"

Wei Congwen was simply furious. If he was old, he could not beat Chen Yichen, he might have rushed over on the spot.

"Yeah?"

Chen Yichen smiled faintly, and then found out the source of his point of view in Confucianism.

And the specific page and paragraph of which book is reached is conclusive!

After listening to what Chen Yichen said, some students didn't believe it very much. They opened the books they carried with them to verify, and they really found the same saint's words.

However, when these saints look at them alone, they seem to be far from what Chen Yichen said. When combined together, they become another meaning.

But no matter what, the essence cannot be changed. The saints of Confucius and Mencius have indeed said it!

In fact, this situation is not surprising. The "Study and Mechanics" of the Yongjia School is originally a branch of Confucianism, and it also quotes the words of saints.

It was nothing more than that in the environment of the Southern Song Dynasty, he did not defeat Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and was gradually forgotten later.

It was Wei Congwen's turn to be stunned. It has been hundreds of years since the Southern Song Dynasty. The Yongjia School of Medicine has long been abandoned by the Ming literati and will not learn their theories.

Even for some literati, it is already considered knowledgeable to know that there is such a school. Who would seriously study their academic propositions?

Only when the book is used is too late, Wei Congwen may not have thought that his great scholar of the General Studies would have failed in such a place.

Seeing Wei Congwen for a long time, another lecturer, Imperial College Supervisor Ye He Rui, stood up and said, "The so-called theory of merit is nothing more than utilitarianism, and forgetting the meaning when seeing profit!"

The theory of merit emphasizes the unity of justice and interests, which is most despised by Neo-Confucianism. In their concept, as long as they talk about interests, they will defile the purity of morality. Whether this benefit is legitimate or illegal.

To describe it in later generations, pure diode thinking.

"I dare to ask who Siye, has anyone mentioned the word utilitarianism in what Xiaguan said?"

Chen Yichen did use some theories from the Yongjia School, but he did not borrow them all, at least not yet.

On the contrary, the Imperial College Supervisor Ye He Rui subconsciously brought Chen Yichen into the identity of the Yongjia School and directly used the view of justice and profit in "Shigongxue" to fight back.

After hearing this question, he was a little confused. Chen Yichen did not mention the word utilitarianism.

Seeing the other party speechless, Chen Yichen shook his head and added a famous saying by Ye Shi, the founder of the Yongjia School: "If there is no utilitarianism, then morality is a useless empty word."

Translated: If there is no utilitarianism, then there will be no stage for self-proclaimed moral gentleman to be proclaimed.

Chen Yichen has a pun. In addition to the original meaning, he also implies that He Rui has no stage to take the opportunity to play without saying utilitarianism.

"I am worthy of being the three-yuan grade I have chosen. This kind of knowledge is admirable!"

Seeing that Chen Yichen had made the two great scholars of the dynasty speechless, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but praise him, indeed, his knowledge was a bit unexpectedly strong.

The emperor spoke to set the tone, which means that the outcome of this lecture debate has been decided, and the court officials and the students of the Imperial College were all shocked.

It is unimaginable that the two Confucian clans were defeated by an 18-year-old young man.

Is the talent of the leader of the Six Yuan, so terrifying?

"Your Majesty, this son..."

He Rui thought about arguing with reason, and even wanted Zhu Qi Zhenzhi to make a sin of confusing the public.

As a result, as soon as he spoke, he saw Wang Zhen looking at him with cold eyes, and instantly scared the words behind him.

"I didn't expect that I could still see such wonderful academic discussions during the Imperial College Surveillance. Chen Aiqing is really talented."

Compared with the empty theories of Taoists, the concept of emperors is naturally much more pragmatic, so Zhu Qizhen agrees with Chen Yichen's point of view, and can even be said to be appreciated.

Confucianism started with Emperor Wu of Han respecting Confucianism, and for the emperor it was just a tool of rule. There was no need for boastful people in the court. The capable ministers are the talents they needed!

"Thank you for your praise, I am ashamed of you."

"I wonder if Chen Aiqing's theory has its origin?"

Although Chen Yichen's proposal is very similar to the knowledge of things and merits, it is similar to the form and spirit, especially the dialectical pursuit of truth behind it, which is completely a new idea.

It is precisely because it is too novel that everyone does not understand what it means, and even refutes cannot find the attack point.

"There is no source, it is what my ministers think."

Chen Yichen's words caused a burst of exclamation among the students of the Imperial College.

Some people have speculated before that whether this would be the original theories of Chen Yichen’s original sect was now settled.

"Is the public knowledge of the 18th century so amazing? He put forward his own school view at the age of eighteen?"

"It was done by the great scholars and masters. Wouldn't the top scholar be named the master in the future?"

"The Three Yuans and Six Poems are destined to be extraordinary, but no one can imagine that they will reach the pinnacle."

"I hope to be a top scholar for the rest of my life, and I should learn from it!"

Not to mention these young people, even Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking about it.

He also did not expect that an ordinary Imperial College lecture could witness the scene of starting a sect and establishing a sect.

"I am a national sir, Chen Aiqing and others will accompany the imperial guards. I still have some questions to ask for advice."

The word "Ask" came out. The honorary officials present who were originally able to maintain stability now changed their voices and voices.

For those who are temporarily brought to teach, you should say that he has the title of imperial guru, and the moisture is indeed a bit too high.

More importantly, after talking about this game, I was unable to continue to win substantial rewards by scanning my face in front of the emperor.

Now the emperor asked him to go with the imperial guards and said he wanted to ask for advice, which was equivalent to officially recognizing the title of Chen Yichen's "Imperial Master".

If he could win the emperor's recognition with this theory, the benefits and benefits would be even more unimaginable.

The 18-year-old imperial teacher, being ranked among the third Duke, would probably not be Chen Yichen's limit. Can Duke Cheng really achieve the grand ceremony of one family and two dukes like Duke Wei?

"I, thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Yichen's tone was filled with a tremolo and thanked Zhu Qizhen.

The reason why he was so excited was not because he was valued by the emperor in the eyes of outsiders, but because he had the benefit of rising to the top.

Instead, Chen Yichen saw a glimmer of hope and could convey his thinking ideas to Zhu Qizhen, changing the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom!
