Chapter 745 New Review of Yuedan
Liu Xie and Xu Jing took their seats in the hall, and exchanged a few words with Xu Jing according to the etiquette for young students to pay homage to famous scholars.

Xu Jing's wife, Mrs. Liu, heard the voice and rushed out to meet her. She saw a young man sitting opposite Xu Jing, and a young man standing next to him, but Kong Rong was nowhere to be seen.His own son, Xu Qin, stood at a loss, forgot to put down the food and drink in his hand, so he hurried forward and pulled Xu Qin aside.

"Who is the boy in the hall? Where is Kong Jijiu?"

"Heaven... Son of Heaven." Xu Qin stammered.

"Who?"

"The boy in the hall is... the Son of Heaven." Xu Qin swallowed and said with difficulty.

Mrs. Liu just took the wine pot from Xu Qin's hand. Hearing this, her hands trembled, and the wine pot fell to the ground. It shattered with a "pop", and the muddy wine splashed everywhere.

Mrs. Liu stretched her neck and looked at Liu Xie who was talking with Xu Jing in the hall. "Qin'er, that...really..."

Xu Qin nodded vigorously.

Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief, and said after a while: "The sage wears brown bosom jade, and returns to simplicity. grit your teeth. "Qin'er, maybe this is your chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you."

Xu Qin didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Liu Shi blankly.

Mrs. Liu didn't explain, and dragged Xu Qin to the back room, changed into the clothes that were splashed by the wine, went back to the kitchen, prepared fresh tea, and asked Xu Qin to bring it up.

"Just like usual, don't panic."

Xu Qin also came to his senses, nodded vigorously, and went to the hall with tea.

After Liu Xie and Xu Jing finished their courtesies, they immediately cut to the chase.

"I heard that Mr. Xu and General Xu presided over the Yuedan Review?"

Xu Jing's heart tightened, thinking that what should come is still coming.But it doesn't matter, since you want to make a gesture of respecting the teacher, then I will let you experience the dignity of the teacher.

"As Your Majesty said."

"Now that the world is in chaos, all waste is waiting to be rejuvenated. Among the talents that Mr. judged in the past, is there any one who can make great achievements with the court?"

"Of course." Xu Jing puffed up his chest, picked up the teacup, and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then introduce the talents he had tasted to the emperor. "Your Majesty, please drink tea."

Liu Xie picked up the cup and immediately smelled the onion and ginger smell.

As expected Xu Jing just came back from Yizhou, even the tea he drank was full of Yizhou flavor.

Still, he held his nose and took a sip.

Xu Jing put down his teacup and talked about a few people in one breath.

Liu Xie has never heard of any of them, but he has heard a characteristic. In the early stage, most of these people were from Runan, almost all from the Ruying area. In the later period, there were some from Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, but the number was limited. .

In addition, there is another thing in common: Xu Jing's appreciation of these people is similar, either elegant or noble, with a bias towards morality.

It's a pity that there are examples like Cao Cao before, and the morality in character comments is Xue's cat, which is uncertain.

Liu Xie ordered Zhuge Liang to make a record, read the list again, and then asked a question in a leisurely manner. "During the chaos in Shandong, how did these people behave?"

Xu Jing, who was eloquent just now, suddenly lost his temper.

What can those people do?Or, like him, flee with his family.Either stay in the local area and rely on the power of the family to protect themselves.If there is no accident, most of them will maintain a certain relationship with Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao himself has confessed to being cowardly, and wrote a letter to plead guilty, how could those people be any better.

Seeing that Xu Jing was silent, Liu Xie asked again. "Did any of Mr.'s relatives and friends die in the war, or were taken away by the Xiliang army? Mrs. Tang is in the bookstore. If Mr.'s relatives are missing, maybe you can ask her."

Xu Jing's face was flushed, he understood Liu Xie's meaning.

What's the use of talking so nicely?When the disaster is approaching, you can either run away or bow your head to kill, and sit back and watch your family suffer.

"Your Majesty..." Xu Jing opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.

Liu Xie laughed silently. "Kandong has a chancellor, and Kansai has a general. When the world was in chaos, few of the Guandong prefectures could protect the country and the people except for fighting against each other. Fortunately, the world is peaceful now, and this kind of thing should not happen again. Sir, you may wish to recommend For a few useful talents, the imperial court should pay the counties and counties to test their talents."

Xu Jing thought for a moment. "Your Majesty mean Du Tian?"

"Including Dutian, but not just Dutian." Liu Xie said calmly: "The purpose of Dutian is to realize the kingly way. If you don't save the land, you can also realize the kingly way, or even better, and the court has no objection."

He smiled. "Sir, since you are in Taixue, you should know that the main topic of the conference that is being prepared is how to realize the kingly way, not save the land."

Xu Jing looked at Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, if someone supports Wang Dao but opposes Du Tian, ​​can he also say so?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would the imperial court mobilize people and hold lectures?"

"If there are different opinions and everyone insists on their own opinions, how can we judge the truth from the false and keep the truth from the false?"

Liu Xie raised a finger. "First of all, see if he is worthy of what he has learned, and whether he is worthy of his own conscience. As long as he speaks from the heart, rather than submitting to others, it doesn't matter if he is biased."

He chuckled. "Of course, painting a tiger's skin is hard to paint its bones. This can only be known by oneself, and others cannot speculate. Otherwise, it will become a crime of desire. What do you think, sir?"

The corners of Xu Jing's mouth twitched, neither agreeing nor not agreeing.

He has presided over the Yuedan review and tasted countless people. He naturally knows that this seems simple, but it is extremely difficult or even impossible to do in reality.

How many people can speak from the heart without being influenced by external interests at all?

Liu Xie raised his second finger. "Secondly, it depends on whether his arguments can withstand other people's doubts. If his arguments are justified and can withstand the refutation of others, they will naturally have value. If others are not allowed to say a word, then it’s worth not listening.”

Xu Jing nodded slightly.

On this point, he agrees.

The reason is not clear, and the high probability of not daring to face other people's doubts is fallacy.

"But what if it makes sense?"

Liu Xie raised his third finger. "Leave it to the verification of the facts. If it makes sense and can stand up to everyone's arguments, then choose a place to try it out. If you can succeed, it is right. If you can't succeed, then it depends on whether you did it well enough, or you can't do it at all." , and make corrections."

Liu Xie smiled. "If someone fails to succeed in trying again and again, but still insists that he can realize the kingly way, will the master agree with him?"

Xu Jing's eyes flashed. "However, it is not a one-day achievement to realize the kingly way, and it is inevitable to be hindered by others. The master has never succeeded in governing Lu."

"The imperial court did not expect to complete its merits in one battle, and was prepared for a long-term debate. Otherwise, it would not only try it out in Zeshu County in Shandong."

Liu Xie withdrew his fingers, picked up the teacup again, and took a shallow sip.

"Holding a speech is to focus on the second point. During the speech, the imperial court intends to choose its main point of view to announce, not only to let more people know that the imperial court is willing to listen, but also to let more people have the opportunity to understand these Viewpoints, evaluate these viewpoints, discard the absurd, and choose the usable."

Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Xu Jing with a smile. "Everyone gathers firewood, and the fire is high. Are you interested in adding a handful of firewood to make a new comment on the first day of the month?"
