Han Dao world

Chapter 1216
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy.

He got up to speak impulsively, but he never expected to get the reply from the Emperor and the Taiwei at the same time, and it was so direct.

That's all for the Son of Heaven.Zhou Buxin said that the emperor is approachable and gets along well with the young officials around him.But Taiwei Jia Xu is a gloomy person, and the city is extremely deep.

How could he answer the presumptuous question of a young minister who has just joined the job for a few days.

Could it be that he was too intense?

Seeing that Jiang Wan was uneasy, Liu Xie smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed down lightly, signaling Jiang Wan to return to his seat.

Jiang Wan's mind went blank, and he returned to his seat in a daze, only to realize that he hadn't thanked Liu Xie yet, and quickly pleaded guilty to Liu Xie.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for pardoning the crime of disrespect."

Liu Xie nodded with a smile, but said in his heart, the people from Jiangnan are really reckless, even a gentle person like Jiang Wan has a hot temper, let alone others.

"Young people, it's good to be aggressive and not afraid of adults, but you must also dare to face the reality." Jia Xu said lightly: "I hope you can also use this courage to learn. Mencius said that Confucius is a saint. A man of time. An era should have a saint of the era, and we should not dare to question anything just because the saint has said something that will last forever.”

Jiang Wan was at a loss for words for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't find a reason to refute.

What he wanted to defend was Dong Zhongshu's point of view, but Jia Xu used Mencius' point of view, which is more prevalent nowadays. Both of them are Confucian sages, which one is right and which one is wrong?
It cannot be said that Mencius was wrong, but Dong Zhongshu was more intelligent, right?

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't speak, but his face was flushed, Liu Xie didn't say anything.

Although Jiang Wan was smart, his level of Confucianism was limited, and he was far from being able to argue with others, let alone confront a wise man like Jia Xu.But with his talent, it won't take long for him to slowly change his mind.

The advantage of young people is that they can accept new ideas.

Liu Xie returned to the topic and discussed Jianlu Academy with Jia Xu.

He's had similar ideas before, but never discussed them publicly.The reason is still the same old problem. The Legalists give people a bad impression, and even a little bit of it is troublesome.He himself did not have a good impression of Legalism, and he did not want to simply regard the existing legal studies as officially recognized knowledge, which would cause too violent reactions from Confucian scholars.

However, Jia Xu's suggestion that Gao Rou, who has a Confucian background, preside over the law school is a plan worth considering.

Zhou Zhong recommended Gao Rou because of Gao Rou's family.

Chen Liugao's marriage with Runan Yuan's is naturally not an ordinary family.

In fact, there is a fact that many people ignore or deliberately cover up, the origin of Legalism is not in Guanzhong, but in the Han and Wei dynasties during the Warring States period, and today's Ruying area.Needless to say Xunzi, Han Fei was from Xinzheng, Yingchuan, and Li Si was from Shangcai, Runan.Even after 300 years of Confucianism's supremacy, there are still many families in Ruying area who inherit the law.

This is true of the Yangdi Guo family and the Chen Liugao family.

Gao Rou came forward to establish the law school, even if the Confucian sect had opinions, it would not be so violent.

After repeated weighing, Liu Xie accepted Jia Xu's suggestion, sent an edict to Zhou Zhong, put forward the suggestion of building a law school, and asked Zhou Zhong to recommend a suitable candidate for offering wine.

He didn't point out Gao Rou, but he believed that with Zhou Zhong's habit of being famous, Gao Rou would definitely be given priority as the priest of the law school instead of staying in Sikong Mansion as a long history.

Jiang Wan then re-drafted the edict according to Jia Xu's opinion, used the seal, and sent it out by express ship.

-

As expected by Liu Xie, after receiving the edict, although Zhou Zhong objected to the law school from the bottom of his heart, he also knew that this was the general trend, and it was better to be promoted by the children of the aristocratic family than to be promoted by the emperor. Let's push it better.

For Gao Rou himself, serving as the first sacrificial wine of the Law School is more promising than serving as the head of the Sikong Mansion. In the future, it can not only be engraved on the tombstone, but also written in the history.

The only one who suffers is himself, without a right-hand man, he has to continue to suffer.

Zhou Zhong quickly made a decision, recommending Gao Rou to serve as Lu Tangtang's sacrificial wine, while Man Chong was transferred to Sikong Changshi, who was in charge of the Changsha case.

Man Chong and Gao Rou are both subordinates of the Sikong Mansion, and Zhou Zhong directly issued a document without the consent of the emperor, ordering Man Chong and Gao Rou to quickly hand over the affairs in hand and rush to the new post.

Gao Rou was among Zhou Zhong's entourage, and immediately set off to Quanling after receiving the order.

Unlike Zhou Zhong, who was somewhat reluctant, he was very satisfied with this new appointment, and even had it right in his arms.

Although he is only 30 years old, he has been an official in the county for many years and has handled many cases.It's just that he was implicated by high-ranking cadres, so he couldn't affect Chenliu County, and he didn't have the chance to appear in front of the emperor.Recommended by Zhou Zhong this time, it is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to become the first sacrificial wine of the Law School.

It is rumored that the emperor respects the law, but he is only worried that the opposition will be too loud, so he has not advocated it publicly.This time, Jianlu Academy is still in the name of cultivating county officials.

However, as the concept of "ruling the country by law" is gradually recognized, the study of jurisprudence will inevitably be put on the agenda.Just as Confucianism needs reform, if the law wants to be recognized by more people, it also needs a reform, so as to draw a clear line from the Legalists in people's impression.

For this, he has been preparing for several years, and even studied some laws of the Western Regions, thinking that the stones from other mountains are only waiting for the opportunity to speak to the emperor.

At the end of June, Gao Rou rushed to Quanling, but failed to meet the emperor at the first time.

He fell ill.

The climate in the south is humid, and in addition to the fact that there was a flood just before, it may be because of the rush to travel, the body is tired, and the drinking water is not clean. As a result, he contracted dysentery and vomited.

After Liu Xie received the news, he sent the imperial physician and told Gao Rou to recuperate with peace of mind, so don't rush for a while.

Building a law school is a big event and requires thorough preparation.He is choosing a site. Gao Rou can make some preparations first, see what textbooks are needed, make a list, and Yinfang will prepare them.

Gao Rou was very grateful, and carefully drew up a book list, which was handed over to Liu Xie.

He had thought that he would stay in bed for a while, but it was beyond his expectation.After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, he took it for only two days, and his body basically recovered, and he was even able to get up and walk around.

"Great doctor." Gao Rou was grateful, but also grateful.

His father Gao Jing died of illness because he was not acclimatized when he was an official in Shu County.He traveled thousands of miles to Shu County to attend the funeral, and it took him three years to bring his father's coffin back to his hometown for burial.

The imperial physician who was ordered to treat him did not take it seriously. "This kind of disease is very common in the local area, and there are ready-made methods and medicinal materials. The Imperial Medical Office prepared it a few years ago. You just added some medicinal materials to invigorate Qi in your medicine, and there is nothing unusual about it. It healed so quickly. , you are still young and in good health."

Gao Rou was surprised. "Is the emperor planning to come to Jiangnan a few years ago?"

"It's not for the Son of Heaven, it's for the Southern Expedition." The imperial physician smiled triumphantly. "For the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, acclimatization is more dangerous than the rebels. We, the Imperial Medical Bureau, research prescriptions and medicinal materials from various places, and prepare them first for these soldiers. Although we cannot shoot bows and arrows, we are also indispensable soldiers for the country. "
