Chapter 275: Should Buddhism Be Extinct?(1/2)
"Add to observe it tomorrow afternoon." The emperor said that he would make a conclusion after looking tomorrow.
It's too early now.
"Those cheaters bring them in." The emperor said to Xiao Yu. This was the first case in more than a decade.
Xiao Yu understood that he brought more than a dozen scholars wearing scholarly costumes.
The scholars immediately knelt down when they saw the scene here.
"The scholar who reported it has a grudge against you?" the emperor asked them. In fact, there is no need to cheat. How do you cheat on the topic this time?
The scholars shook their heads, who knew he would report it, and they didn't expect that he would say in public that he didn't know him at all.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen it at all. I want to cheat on the topic this time. I am used to carrying the "Great University" in close proximity, but I really didn't take it out this time." Someone said to the emperor, but he didn't take it out again.
Besides, there is no regulation that you cannot bring "The University". This time the title does not need to be read "The University", and there is no answer in it.
"Put up the test papers of these dozen people." The emperor said to Xiao Yu. He wanted to see what these people had.
Xiao Yu was ordered to pick out the test papers from it and let the emperor watch it.
The emperor read the test papers one by one. The answers inside were so weird. Some of them drew a picture inside. It’s really hard to say, this skill is quite superb. This one is a ruin, and then the ruins are there.
It is surrounded by monks. It can be seen that the building was a temple before.
"Who painted the temple?"
"It's me."
"Prime Minister, look." The emperor handed the exam paper to Xie Ji. He didn't expect someone to draw on it. This is a joke. The painting is good, but why do you do well in the imperial examination?
"Since this person cheated and was scribbling on the test papers, the results were invalidated this time, so he was asked to go back to be a painter." Xie Ji said after seeing it, and he was very impressed.
Of course, admiration is one thing, and facts are another.
"Since this person is good at painting, let him be a painter, specializing in collecting customs from various places and drawing them into books." The emperor felt a pity that the painting was indeed lifelike, and being a painter was good.
"I thank Your Majesty." The scholar's eyes lit up. The painter was still an official. Although his grade was not high, he was better than the civilians at least.
What's more, I was caught cheating this time and thought my future was ruined, but I didn't expect it to be ruined yet.
If the painter can reach a certain level, he can also be highly respected.
"Since Your Majesty loves you, you will definitely draw the customs of all parts of the country on the scroll in the future, which will also be considered as repaying Your Majesty's kindness."
When Xie Ji saw this, he said, "I'm so lucky." If it were His Majesty, it wouldn't be the result."
The emperor continued to look through it, and after seeing that someone handed in the blank paper, he patted the table.
"Who is Tang Yuan? Let me stand up."
"Me." Tang Yuan was so scared that he stood up tall and stood up.
"Explain me what this blank copy means?"
Both test papers are blank, just one name.
Xie Ji was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone actually handed in the blank papers in ancient times.
"Your Majesty, this is a problem that is too difficult. I don't know, just..."
"I can't even copy it?" The emperor regretted after saying this. Wasn't he caught cheating?
"Aren't you cheating? Why didn't you write a word?"
"That's because the cheating information does not match this question." Tang Yuan felt a little aggrieved. He wouldn't bring the information if he had known it. He was still showing off in front of others. You should know that someone was reporting it there, so he would never show off himself.
Cheating method.
After hearing this, the emperor had already reached a conclusion in his heart. Because he didn't know how to do it, he handed in the blank paper and attracted public attention.
Then I continued to read the test paper here and got a copy with some officials on it, saying that Xie Ji's questions were not well obtained, so he wanted to improve them. Sure enough, it was also sensational. The words here are gorgeous, please read
It seems to be very opinionated, but it is just nonsense.
It’s okay to talk about nothing but read it.
Then he looked at the next one, and finally finished reading all these test papers, and asked someone to give them to Xie Ji.
See what these are written.
After reading it, Xie Ji replied: "Your Majesty, since these students cheat, they will be deprived of their qualifications this time, and so many cheating happened this time. Ignorance and fearlessness, and there is no accurate law to stipulate such behavior.
What to deal with will only let them drill into the holes of the law.”
"It's better to perfect the law of the imperial examination this time to prevent such a thing from happening next time."
Xie Ji said, even if you are lucky this time, the previous dynasty had some laws on this imperial examination, but this dynasty was downplayed and did not impose a precise punishment for this behavior, so this loophole was left behind.
As for the painter who was appointed, he was in great trouble and had great luck. The unlucky one was exposed. Fortunately, although he was arrested, he was indeed the only one who had not yet been destroyed in his career.
"Okay, this matter will be handled by the Prime Minister."
Those scholars, listening to their discussion, seemed to have their careers been ruined.
Except for Zhang Hua, who painted the temple, everyone else was ruined.
This is because the scholar who exposed it, naturally felt resentful.
—————
After those scholars were kicked out of the palace.
"Brother Tang, is there anything wrong? What's going on now?"
Someone ran over to ask questions, quite worried.
Tang Yuan shook his head and said, "This time the results are invalid, there is nothing else."
"That damn He Qin. Brother Tang, don't worry, I will avenge you this time in the future."
"Yes, that He Qin dared to expose it. Let's see how upright he will be in the future." Many people joined forces to boycott He Qin. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have been exposed.
Since you are so upright, let’s see how you are honest and honest in the future.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of this?" Someone said to Xiao Yu. This is the nephew of the Minister of Rites. He will definitely rise to the sky in the future. This time I will ask him what he thinks.
"There is a cause and a result." Xiao Yu said, smiling slightly, not saying anything.
But everyone has understood that this is the reason for his report, and that is the result of our isolating him and excluding him.
But his meaning can also be said that cheating is the cause, and reporting is the result.
He believed in the theory of cause and effect, which was different from Xiao Yu.
He believed that the result was borne because of the cause. The result of this thing was the cause of the next thing, and the next time the cause was borne again. The connection between cause and effect constitutes life.
For example, this time, the imperial examination was because of the reason why scholars came to take the exam. Because cheating was not strictly carried out, some people cheated. Because some people cheated, some people reported it. Because they were reported, some people excluded the person who reported it.
What fruit will be borne below if you exclude the person who reports?
Xiao Yu thought that if he could keep pushing on, he could see the track of his entire life.
"Do you believe in Buddhism? Xie Ji is going to destroy the Buddha this time." Wang Xue was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he believed in the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, but why didn't he realize that he was a Buddhist?
"I don't believe in Buddhism, but I believe in cause and effect." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Xie Ji wanted to do something big, so he built a road all over the world. Because he wanted to build a road, someone would inevitably oppose it. Because someone opposed it, he began to use war and use thunder means, so he issued several orders,
It is to force the people to make way for him to build roads, the second is to punish corrupt officials who destroyed his roads, and the third is to destroy Buddhism that affects his roads."
"Because the people forced the people to give way, the people have complained a lot. Because of the punishment of corrupt officials, the Ministry of Works has a vacant population. Therefore, scholars can go to the palace examination this time. Because Buddhism has become a major concern for him, various laws against Buddhism were issued."
"Because Xie Ji, this person, never give up until he achieves his goal, will be reused by those who can provide methods to destroy Buddhism in the future, and writing on it how good Buddhism is, it will definitely be hit by him. Then, Buddhism will definitely be determined to
If you want to find a way to deal with it, the Buddhist monks will definitely come to see Xie Ji, but Xie Ji's personality will definitely not compromise."
"Xie Ji will eventually support Taoism and crack down on officials who believe in Buddhism in the court. The most likely one is newspapers. If you look back, that newspaper is Xie Ji's weapon, and he will definitely criticize Buddhism for nothing.
”
Xiao Yu said with a smile and said, "This sentence surprised those who heard it and looked at him one after another."
Those who believe in Buddhism were shocked after hearing this and said, "Xie Ji is not the only one who has the final say."
"Unless someone asks His Majesty to stop the road construction, it is really Xie Ji who has the final say." Xiao Yu continued.
You should know that besides the emperor's greatest rights, the greatest rights are the prime minister's rights.
Many orders not only require jade seals, but also seals. It is useless for the rest of the officials to object.
Unless the decision-making power, deliberation power and execution power are separated, as long as the prime minister and the emperor have the same opinions, this order can only be implemented.
"Who can make the emperor stop the road construction? Why wouldn't the Buddhist monks persuade the emperor?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yu glanced at him sideways.
If the emperor had feelings for Buddhism, he would not have indulged Xie Ji and destroyed so many temples.
He heard that the emperor had been hurt by Buddhism since he was a child, so he was not happy with Buddhism. This time, thanking the truth to destroy Buddhism, the emperor would definitely support it.
He has long been thinking about it.
"You have said so much, then you have a way to deal with this. Although you don't believe in Buddhism, you agree with the theory of cause and effect, so you don't want the Buddhist sect to be destroyed by Xie Ji." Someone has a good impression of Buddhism.
