Han Dao world

Chapter 782 West of Onion Ridge
The air in the morning is slightly cool, and before you know it, autumn in Chang'an is here, and you can already feel the coolness sooner or later.

The rented carriage was parked at the door, and the coachman was helping Xun Chen's waiter to carry the luggage up.

Xun Chen and Kong Rong stood in the courtyard, relatively speechless.

Xun Chen didn't want to inform Kong Rong and left quietly, but he didn't expect Kong Rong to come to him early in the morning when he heard that he came back last night, and bumped into him.

Kong Rong was very dissatisfied with Xun Chen's idea of ​​leaving Taixue quietly, thinking that he was running away.

Facts have proved that Xun Chen's special status can check and balance Mi Heng.If it wasn't for Xun Chen who published the article first, but for Mi Heng, the impact would be completely different.

Kong Rong wanted to persuade Xun Chen to stay, at least until after the lecture.

It is still warming up now, once the lectures start, the confrontation will be more intense.

Xun Chen didn't take it seriously.

The result of the discussion is not important, the emperor doesn't care, and the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats don't care either.

"The outcome has been decided, so it's useless to stay." Xun Chen shook his sleeves. "Just like Qin and the Six Kingdoms back then, there was an inevitable trend, and it was impossible to restore it without manpower."

"How can there be any inevitable trend?" Kong Rong was a little impatient, and his voice became louder. "If Chu and Zhao hadn't destroyed the city by themselves, why would they have suffered such a complete defeat? Even so, Qin didn't die in the second generation?"

Xun Chen glanced at Kong Rong. "How do you think the Son of Heaven compares to Fusu?"

Kong Rong was at a loss for words, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say a word, just sighed deeply.

There is a view among scholars that Qin II died because he did not adjust policies in time.If Fusu succeeds to the throne and implements a benevolent government, it may be a different situation.

Kong Rong is a supporter of this view.

Even if he opposed Du Tian, ​​he couldn't deny a fact.

The Son of Heaven is a benevolent monarch, not a tyrant.Only the means to realize the kingly way are different between them, and the pursuit of the kingly way is the same.

"Actually, you know the result, you just refuse to admit it." Xun Chen laughed lightly. "Kong Wenju, old age is a thief, you don't want to be this kind of person. After a hundred years, under the nine springs, how you will face the saint depends on how you choose today."

Kong Rong snorted, noncommittal.

Xun Chen didn't say anything more, cupped his hands, stepped out, and got into the carriage.

Kong Rong came out, watched the carriage rattle away, and couldn't help sighing.He walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, blending into the crowd, a little confused.

"Big news! Big news! Mi Heng wrote a letter, proposing to abolish the state priest—"

A young man was holding a pile of mansion newspapers, shouting loudly, enthusiastically selling the new mansion newspapers in his hands.

Kong Rong was startled, and quickly stopped the boy. "What did you say?"

The boy habitually took out a residence newspaper and handed it to Kong Rong. "The latest news is that the imperial court will abolish the state pastor, five yuan a piece, thank you."

Kong Rong's outstretched hand stopped, and his eyes widened. "It's three coins on weekdays, why is it five coins today?"

Before he could finish speaking, a hand stretched out beside him, threw five five baht coins into the boy's open cloth bag, and snatched the mansion newspaper.Kong Rong was furious, turned his head and saw a middle-aged scholar, looking at him with contempt.

"What are you looking at? You can tell at a glance that you usually don't spend any money. If you pay three cents, you'll already have five cents, okay?"

After the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he strode away without waiting for Kong Rong to turn around.

Kong Rong was too angry to speak.

Today is really unlucky, being scolded by Xun Chen as an old thief, and being treated as a miser by strangers.

It is true that he has never spent money, but it is not because he is reluctant to spend money.Taixue buys the residence newspaper uniformly, and there will be a copy of his teaching.When eating breakfast every day, the concubine will put it on his case so that he can read it while eating.

Today I came to look for Xun Chen in a hurry, but I haven't had time to see it yet.

Kong Rong quickened his pace and rushed back to the Confucian school.

"This You Zhengping, you really lost your mind." He complained as he walked.

-

Xun Chen closed the residence newspaper, put it on the small case, and stretched out his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.

Reading the Dibao on the rickety carriage was too tiring for his eyes, but he couldn't stop reading it.This news is too important, it is directly related to the stability of Jizhou.

Mi Heng proposed to cancel the state animal husbandry, on the grounds that the word animal husbandry is suspected of juxtaposing common people with cattle and horses, which is not in line with the imperial court's intention to love the people.In fact, this is a suggestion that the imperial court cancel the actual control of the state pastor over a state, and only retain the supervision power, returning to the essence of the governor.

It is only a discussion now, but the Minister of Public Affairs has no suitable reason to object, and this plan will be passed in all likelihood.

Once the edict is issued, Yuan Shao will undoubtedly be the most affected.

Losing his status, Yuan Shao's control over Jizhou will be weaker.

Did Mi Heng make such a radical proposal because the last article failed to arouse enough response?
Or is it that the imperial court had this intention, but others were unwilling to say so, and in the end it was Ni Heng, a madman who gave birth?

These young people don't understand how complicated the interests of the court are, and they act recklessly.

-

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie stood on the porch, pacing slowly.

Pang Tong followed, reporting the news he had just received.

Beihai Minister Sun Ce has led his troops to the jurisdiction, and the Jiangdong Navy is conducting adaptive training in the Bohai Sea.Yuan Xi led the main force back to Qingzhou, preparing to compete with Sun Ce for the North Sea.

Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei seized the opportunity and launched an offensive. Half a month ago, he even connected Keju County and Zhuxian County.If the battle goes well, the battle line should be pushed back to the territory of Qingzhou at this moment.

Yan Ran's Protectorate sent a report that the envoys Zhou Yu, Jiang Gan and others had left the fortress and entered the desert.If there is no accident, he will arrive in Dragon City in half a month.

To ensure safety, Lu Bu and Cao Chun led [-] fine riders to patrol the border, planning to go to the Yanran Mountain area, and test the technology of astrological positioning and draw relevant maps.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions received news from Xianbei Marshal Ke Bineng.They arrived between the two rivers and made contact with Guishuang. The two sides exchanged etiquette and had a good relationship.Guishuang is willing to accept them, and hopes to form an alliance with them, and send people to the Central Plains to contribute.

However, Xun Yun, the chief historian, believed that when they first arrived in the west of Congling, they were not familiar with Guishuang's situation, so they agreed hastily, and they might be deceived by Guishuang and refused to form an alliance.

The two had a disagreement and could not resolve it, so they had to write to the emperor for a ruling.

Liu Xie stopped and thought for a while. "Is it Ke Bineng's letter?"

Generally speaking, even if Ke Bineng and Xun Yun had disagreements, they would not make trouble in front of him, let alone travel thousands of miles to ask for instructions.They should discuss it well, obtain a unified opinion, and then submit the memorial.

This memorial is somewhat unusual.

"Yes, there is Ke Bineng's seal and Xun Changshi's seal."

"Is it Xun Yun's handwriting?"

"The signature is Xun Yun, but we have compared the handwriting, and something is not right. From the writing habits, it is also a bit strange, as if someone deliberately imitated it, and it may be written by Xun Yun's disciples. But such an important document, Xun Changshi There should be no possibility for someone to write for you.”

Liu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Xun Yun is smart and has loyal guards around him, Ke Bineng is not a good person.If the two had a conflict, Xun Yun might not be able to take advantage.

At the beginning, Xun Yun was arranged to travel west, but now it seems a bit hasty.

"What is the opinion of the Protectorate of the Western Regions?"

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions said that according to the news they received, there have been frequent civil strife in Guishuang recently, and some people have indeed asked for help from the big man. The Protectorate of the Western Regions has limited troops and no edict, so they did not agree. Ke Bi Neng just arrived To the west of Congling, I want to form an alliance with the Guishuang people, I am afraid that there is an intention to turn against the hostess."

"Whales swallow Guishuang, doves occupy Nestle?"

"There is a possibility. It is said that the Guishuang people are very similar to the Huns, and they both live as nomads. It is not difficult to annex them. There will always be civil strife in Guishuang, and there will always be people who want to recruit him for help and use his power to defeat their opponents."

Liu Xie sneered and squeezed his fingers.

　Going to the countryside, one update today.
