In the world's impression, the young man's body was not yet fully grown. He could not carry anything with his shoulders or hands. At the same time, he was immature and impulsive. However, since Mo Jiazi appeared in Chang 'an City,
The world suddenly realized that a young man could make achievements that put adults to shame. He even took charge of a school of thought and benefited millions of people.
"Youth's wisdom is the wisdom of the country; youth's wealth is the wealth of the country; youth's greatness is the greatness of the country." Li Shimin finished reading in one breath.
The topic this time was to make the people rich and the country strong. However, Meton did not mention a single word about how to govern the country. He did not even mention that to be rich, one must first build a road. Throughout the article, he only said that the young man and the country were bound together for good or ill.
The doctors of the Imperial College had already put down their work. In the face of such an impassioned article, how could they miss a word?
"Confident!"
"Domineering!"
"Impassioned!"
"Passionate!"
…
Under the words of the School of Mohism, the images of arrogant young men were vividly displayed on the paper. Even a group of old teachers could not help but feel their blood boiling and they were shocked by it.
The young men were the future of the Tang dynasty. Society was constantly changing. If the young men were more knowledgeable and capable, they would naturally promote the prosperity of the Tang dynasty from generation to generation.
To make the Tang dynasty strong, this was the responsibility of the young men of the Tang dynasty. The young men's task was to shoulder their own responsibilities at this time and prepare for the heavy responsibilities in the future.
These youths represented the future, and the heights that the Great Tang would reach in the future would be decided by the youths of the Imperial College. Everyone was stunned by this thought. They were all blinded by a single leaf, unable to see Mount Tai. They were often proud of the power and status of adults, but they had overlooked the limitless future of youths.
"The red sun rises, its path is bright. … The future is like the sea, and the future is long. "
The red sun, the hidden dragon, the tiger cub, the falcon, and the newborn! The images of the young men with boundless prospects were set off by these metaphors, making people yearn for them.
The young man is like the red sun, rising slowly. The young man is like a tiger cub, testing his claws and teeth for the first time! Hundreds of beasts trembled in fear. The young man was like a young eagle, spreading his wings for the first time, aspiring to the vast sky.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young for being poor! Only young people had a bright future and unlimited potential. Only young people were the future of the Tang dynasty. They were the inheritors of Huaxia.
The Imperial College students were shocked. Thinking back, they were ashamed of their prejudice against Meton. When Meton appeared and invented the fountain pen, they were terrified. They opposed it and even created obstacles. When Meton wrote "Teachings of a Teacher" and shouted that a teacher didn't have to be better than a disciple and a disciple didn't have to be inferior to a teacher, the teachers felt that their dignity had been offended. They immediately united against a common enemy. Wasn't this also the prejudice people had against youths all year round?
In fact, they didn't just treat Meton this way. They didn't really value the group of young students in their hearts. Most likely, they looked down on them, blindly demanding that they obey. If they disobeyed, they would use their authority to suppress them.
At this moment, Meton represented all the young people and shouted their voices to the adults. "We young people have a bright future. The future will be clear in the long future."
"Our great hall of young people is immortal with the heavens! The young people of the Tang dynasty are strong and have no border with the country! "
The continuous shout sublimated all the emotions to the extreme. Everyone seemed to see the indomitable Mo Jiazi, who led the Mo Family to overcome obstacles and pressed forward courageously, shouting passionately in front of him.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Before this, no matter how great Meton's achievements were, they would use their identity and status to scornfully say that he was a young man with no hair on his mouth and was incompetent in his work!
At this moment, everyone no longer looked down on Meton. Instead, their faces were full of solemnity.
At this moment, regardless of age, official position, or identity, Meton used the article "Young People of the Tang dynasty" to have a dialogue with them on an equal footing.
What was the strategy of governing a country? What was the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country? Only the young people could rise to greatness. The Tang dynasty had to be really rich and strong. Otherwise, even the most exquisite theories and methods would be empty talk.
This was the confidence of the young people.
After Li Shimin finished reading, the whole Imperial College fell into silence. Everyone trembled. Even if Ma Jiayun, the doctor of the Imperial College, had read it once, he was still excited. It was the glory of his life to be able to finish such an article in front of him.
"The young people of the Tang dynasty, the young people of the Tang dynasty! Meton, you really didn't let me down. "
Li Shimin put down the test paper in his hand and sighed in his heart. At this moment, even he didn't realize that he had put Meton on an equal footing.
Meton used the words "hidden dragon" and "tiger cub" to describe the young people. At the same time, he compared the young people with a promising future to the flourishing Tang dynasty. Nominally, he was talking about the young people of the Tang dynasty.
The more Meton had expectations for the young people, the more optimistic he was about the Tang dynasty. Such self-praise was a thousand times better than the flattering words of the ministers in the imperial court.
This was not only for the young people, but also for the Tang dynasty. This was what touched Li Shimin the most. He had never thought that Meton would have such strong feelings for the Tang dynasty.
"I'm ashamed!" Kong Yingda took the lead and bowed.
"We're ashamed!" The doctors of the Imperial College were ashamed.
"The Imperial College is a place to cultivate the future officials of the Tang dynasty. You can't have any selfish thoughts. Everything is for the sake of the Tang dynasty!" Li Shimin's face darkened as he warned them.
It was clear that the Confucians had already taken over the absolute authority of the Imperial College. Mathematics and law had been suppressed, and they had very little right to speak. This was especially true when it came to the matter of Moton entering the Imperial College. Whether it was the students or the teachers of the Imperial College, their reactions greatly disappointed Li Shimin.
This was a place to cultivate officials for the Tang dynasty, not a Confucian school! Li Shimin's sharp eyes stared at everyone. Everyone bowed their heads and cupped their hands.
"We accept the order."
At this moment, there was no doubt that Meton was the best in the Imperial College again. Compared to Meton's article, Li Chengqian and the other two's articles were dull.
It wasn't that the three's literary talent wasn't good. It was just that the "Young People of the Tang dynasty" was too amazing.
"Your Majesty, please mark it yourself!" Doctor Ma Jiayun of the Imperial College handed over a red brush.
Li Shimin took it and wrote "First Grade" on Meton's paper. At this point, Meton once again obtained the First Grade in the Imperial College, becoming the only one who obtained the First Grade in six subjects.
"First Grade in six subjects!"
Kong Yingda suddenly understood. This result might not be broken by anyone in the Imperial College. After all, the Imperial College recruited the elites of the entire Tang dynasty. Every one of them studied hard and had their own strengths. It was too difficult to surpass everyone. But today, Mo Jiazi did it, and everyone was convinced.
"Alright, today, let me see the most outstanding youths of the Tang dynasty," Li Shimin said as he stood up.
