Chapter 1267 in one sentence

When Yuan Hui left Quanling, the triumphant Northern Army had just held a prisoner offering ceremony.

Brother Shi Xie and the main subordinate officials were escorted and walked around the main street of Quanling City.Quanling is not that big, and within half a day, everyone knew what Shi Xie who wanted to separate Jiaozhou looked like, so he was naturally compared with the Son of Heaven.

The emperor stayed in Quanling for a year, and the people of Quanling were no strangers to him.

The result of the comparison is only one sentence: overestimate one's ability and seek one's own death.

The common people don't understand those things that are too profound, they just feel that Shi Xie can't compare with the emperor in terms of appearance or age.Such a person, who does not enjoy life at home, has children and grandchildren, insists on rebellion, what is the difference between this and suicide?
Yuan Hui was speechless when he heard such comments on the boat.

He would not argue with strangers, nor would he endorse such conclusions.

In his opinion, Shi Xie had no intention of rebelling at all, at most he just wanted to separate himself from one side, even if he didn't show it.There are many people who are more ambitious than him and who express themselves more bluntly. Why can those people be pardoned, but Shi Xie cannot be pardoned?
He wanted to seek justice for Shi Xie and peace of mind for himself.

He didn't believe that all scholars in the Central Plains agreed with Gao Rou and others' views. He felt that Shi Xie deserved to die, and there would always be someone who would agree with his views and support his ideas.

He went north all the way, and whenever he went to a place, he first checked the nearest mansion newspaper to see if there were any relevant articles.He saw some reports related to Shi Xie, but there were almost no people who complained about Shi Xie.

On the contrary, more and more people responded to Cai Yan's "On Legislation with Benevolence".

At first, Yuan Hui supported this view.Benevolence is the core concept of Confucianism, and benevolence dominates legislation, which is in line with the style of Confucianism, and it also shows that the imperial court's adherence to Confucianism has not followed the old path of Legalism.

But looking at it, he felt something was wrong.

In his view, the main content of Yiren legislation should be to lighten taxation and pay less, and rest with the people, but the relevant regulations discuss how to prohibit mergers and how to encourage practical learning.

The most unacceptable thing for him is to suppress Confucian classics and divert more resources to practical studies.

The most direct point is that there is almost no requirement for Confucian classics in the assessment of middle and lower-level officials. The content is limited to several enlightenment books such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Filial Piety", "Mencius" and "Xunzi", and concentrated in some chapters.The Five Classics, which Confucianism values ​​most, are not involved at all.

Yuan Hui was worried about this.

At the beginning of April, he rushed to Luoyang and asked to see Xun Yu immediately.

It was Chen Qun who received him.

Xun Yu was still inspecting the spring plowing in the county and was not in Luoyang for the time being.

Yuan Hui didn't mind either, he was more familiar with Chen Qun and knew the relationship between the Chen and Xun families.Since Chen Qun was working in Xun Yu's mansion, it was more convenient for him to communicate with Xun Yu.

He explained his reason for coming, and finally asked Chen Qun. "If Duke Taiqiu encounters this situation, how should he deal with it?"

Although he is not from Ruying, he is no stranger to Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Shi, and knows that Chen Shi is not only well-known all over the world, but also a very pragmatic person.

When the father of the great eunuch Zhang Rang passed away, Shilin hated Zhang Rang's reputation, and no one was willing to go to condole, except Chen Shi.Zhang Rang was grateful to Chen Shi for this, and later saw that he helped a lot for Chen Shi's face.

Hearing Yuan Hui mention his grandfather, Chen Qun felt unhappy.

"With my stupidity, I can't figure out the thoughts of my ancestors. I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy you."

Yuan Hui hit a soft nail, knowing that he was impolite, and smiled embarrassingly.

Chen Qun thought for a while, and then said, "Have you come to Luoyang before?"

"I've been here, my memory is still fresh."

"Let's go and have a look again." Chen Qun said, "After seeing the current Luoyang City, you may have some insights."

Yuan Hui was skeptical, but he still listened to Chen Qun's persuasion and decided to wander around Luoyang City.

Three days later, he received a notification from Chen Qun that Xun Yu had returned.

-

Xun Yu ran around several counties and just returned to Luoyang.He is dark and thin, but in good spirits.

As soon as they met, he told Yuan Hui very excitedly that if the weather goes well, he will definitely be able to overfulfill the task this year and double the per capita income of the people in Henan County.

Yuan Hui was puzzled, and asked Xun Yu, "Is this what the Fujun is most concerned about now?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a while before he realized, patted his forehead, and invited Yuan Hui to take a seat. "You came here for Shi Xie's matter?"

Yuan Hui nodded, talked about his suffering along the way, and then asked Xun Yu to come forward and ask the emperor to pardon Shi Xie, at least to give him a lighter punishment, not to be punished by the family.

"Who said you want to be punished by the clan?"

Yuan Hui was stunned. "Could it be..."

Xun Yu smiled. "I received a letter from Zhong Yao two days ago, mentioning about Shi Xie. Let me tell you the result first, so that you don't worry. Judging from the current situation, Shi Xie should not be punished by the family. The most severe punishment is either Either go abroad or be imprisoned. Unless there is no accident, he should choose the former, after all, Jiaozhou is not far from overseas."

Yuan Hui heaved a sigh of relief, and his mood, which had been heavy for many days, finally became a little lighter.

"Which sage spoke up and moved the emperor?"

Xun Yu grinned. "you."

"Me?" Yuan Hui was both surprised and delighted.

"Yes, after your article was published, no one responded for more than a month."

Yuan Hui was at a loss for words, so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it.

"Xia Qing, the era of officials discussing politics and governing affairs is over, and it shouldn't come again." Xun Yu said earnestly, "I heard from Changwen that you have been in Luoyang City for the past two days, so you must have some insights. Luoyang was destroyed in the Who did it? Dong Zhuo is definitely to blame, but what about the Yuan brothers? Are they not responsible? If we really want to talk about it, their responsibility may be heavier than Dong Zhuo's."

Yuan Hui let out a long sigh and nodded silently.

"The Yuan family of four generations and three lords finally became the culprit who was almost overthrown. This is worthy of reflection by everyone, especially us Shandong scholar-bureaucrats who regard themselves as moral. It is not enough to have a passion, and to govern the world requires a down-to-earth attitude." Do things. It is said that self-cultivation and family harmony, governing the country and the world, many people can't even do self-cultivation and family harmony, but every day they think about governing the country and the world. Isn't it ridiculous? What's even more ridiculous is that such a person has become a scholar of the world. leader."

Yuan Hui frowned slightly. "You mean Yuan Shao?"

"Including Shi Xie, of course including you and me." Xun Yu said solemnly: "Isn't the reason why you run for Shi Xie because Shi Xie provided you with food and clothing when you were living in Jiaozhou and couldn't support yourself? Do you really want The ability to make a living, why do you rely on others, and if you are a doorman, if you owe favors, you have to pay them back?"

Yuan Hui blushed with embarrassment. "So in the eyes of Fu Jun, this is the kind of person I am?"

Xun Yu was not in a hurry. "Then tell me, what kind of person are you? There are so many Confucian scholars in the world, and there are countless people who are better educated than Shi Xie. There are also many people who were punished by the emperor because of the prefectures. Who have you complained about?"

Yuan Hui was speechless.

He felt that Xun Yu's words were like a knife, cutting off his disguise and letting him stand naked in front of the world.
