Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 207
Luoyang
On a certain restaurant near Taixue, Chu Xuan and a guest were sitting by the window.There was tea in front of Chu Xuan, but the guests were drinking on their own.

Chu Xuan didn't speak, neither did the guests. Instead, they had one glass after another, and there was no intention of speaking.

Looking down from the window, it is where the famous Xiping Stone Classic is located.The so-called Xiping Stone Classics is actually the product of Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty ordering many great Confucian scholars to jointly correct the Five Classics, and all the records on it are the corrected Five Classics.

Theoretically speaking, whether education or scientific research, it should be separated from politics, and it should be purer, so that education belongs to education, scientific research belongs to scientific research, and politics belongs to politics.

But during the Han Dynasty, education or the Five Classics and politics were inseparable.A large number of ancient Chinese classics are also inseparable from politics.

And the Xiping Stone Scripture is just such an attempt by the Emperor Ling in terms of the form. The Emperor Ling tried in vain to complete the great unity of consciousness through this Xiping Stone Scripture.

One of your schools studies certain classics, another one studies such-and-such Yi, and now I have directly exposed your old background and ordered many great Confucian scholars to join forces to come up with a standard and official version of the Five Classics.

Then, those of you who started your family with the help of Confucian classics, are you going to be much weaker?
Then tell Emperor Ling the truth, you think too much!
Emperor Ling summoned many great Confucian scholars and expended a lot of effort to compile the Xiping Stone Classic, which all the scholars and aristocratic families agreed with after reading it.

Children from poor families, read it and say yes.

But it's useless!
This did not change the status quo of the family monopolizing the officialdom of the Han Dynasty in the slightest.

But three years after the Xiping Stone Classic was compiled, Emperor Ling changed his method. He found that he and the family members could not play happily, and the big guys couldn't urinate in the same pot.

Then Emperor Ling decided to cultivate his own talents, control the right to speak, and earn money!
Then, Emperor Ling created Hongdu school!

The so-called Hongdu School refers to the teaching of everything except Confucianism in the literature category.

Compared with orthodox Confucianism, Hongdumenism is more like some specialized technical colleges.Specializes in teaching various non-Confucian things, including but not limited to ruler slips, novels, and Fu.

Well, if Li Bai came here, he would definitely win the top spot in Hongdu school, but he may not want such a top spot.

Because after Lingdi cultivated these own people, he wanted to promote his own people who studied in Hongdu school, and wanted to use this method to attack the family and win the control of the imperial court.

This time, he failed again!
Hongdu School has been stigmatized by scholars since the day it was founded!
The aristocratic families have long been united with poor families and scholars, and jointly compiled a big net. Before the establishment of Hongdu School, it was stigmatized, and a lot of dirty water was poured on it.

All those who enter Hongdumen to study are lucky villains, and they are all members of the eunuch party (the current Han Dynasty also has eunuch party).

From this point of view, although the Emperor Ling was slandered by the aristocratic family, he has been working hard to fight against the aristocratic family and seize power. Waiting for ways to continue the life of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Lingdi has not received systematic and professional training for the emperor, and he became the emperor by jumping from Lord Hou.

A few months later, he won the fight against the powerful minister and general, and even the queen mother, and became the real emperor.Even compared to Emperor Jiajing of the Dameng Dynasty, Emperor Ling was no weaker at all.

But it's a pity that even though Emperor Ling has power skills comparable to Jiajing's and has a shameless heart for making money, his opponents are far from being comparable to those weak scumbags of the Ming Dynasty!
His opponent is a scholar, a scholar with thousands of years of history in the Great Xia, and a scholar who can rank in the forefront in combat effectiveness. It is by no means comparable to the group of waste-like country gentry in the Ming Dynasty!
After drinking tea for a while, Chu Xuan left without saying anything, leaving an article in his original place.

The drunk who had been drinking on the opposite side raised his head after Chu Xuan left, and the article left by Chu Xuan flew in front of him.

Before reading the article, the drunkard glanced at the Xiping Stone Scripture outside the window.

At this moment, the copyists of the Xiping Stone Classics are also divided into two categories, one is the imperial students, and the other is the people who studied in Hongdu.

There is a clear distinction between the two types of people.

Looking at this scene, the drunk could only sigh, and then flipped through Chu Xuan's article. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help but gasp. , good families, civilians, and slaves' appeals and status quo.

Looking at this topic, the drunk man felt very energetic. He coughed, and the cleaning technique was activated. He was very sloppy, but he became much cleaner in an instant.

After leaving the restaurant, Chu Xuan walked, but there were no people there. This time, the target was a barren hill outside the city, where there was a newly built small pavilion.

When Chu Xuan arrived, Xiong Yan had already arrived. At this moment, Xiong Yan was slowly chopping vegetables. There was a bonfire in front of him. On top of the bonfire was a large iron pot, and the thick soup inside was gurgling and steaming.

"Conditions are limited, we can only eat cabbage, tofu, bean curd, thousand sheets, beef and mutton pot."

Chu Xuan glanced at it, and saw a large number of marinated lamb legs, which were almost roasted.He walked aside consciously and started to light a fire.

When the time came to night, Xiong Yan, Chu Xuan, Lao Wang, Lin Er, Taoist Changkong, Jiang Ju, Lu Zhou and others gathered together.Inside and out, there are twelve or thirteen together.

"This year is the middle of March in the sixth year of Zhongping. The one in the palace will die soon. The next situation is more complicated, or it may be very simple. Let me first talk about the historical trend recorded in the history books."

Hearing this, Xiong Yan also put down the grilled lamb chops in his hand, picked up the teacup on the side and began to drink tea. After eating so much lamb chops and beef, he was also quite greasy. Drinking some tea is good for digestion.

"Historically, Emperor Ling passed away in April, and his posthumous title was Ling. The chaos did not damage the spirit. It can be seen that although those aristocratic families hated Emperor Ling very much, they also recognized Emperor Ling's ability."

Emperor Ling was originally a prince of the Han family, not a prince, nor the son of the late emperor, but a relative of the late emperor, probably a distant relative of Emperor Heng.

When Emperor Heng died, he had no son, so naturally he had no heir. Then Emperor Heng's wife, after discussing with Dou Wu, the general at the time, chose Emperor Ling as the new emperor of the Han family.

Therefore, when Emperor Ling ascended the throne, there were no ministers to help him, nor did he have any loyal loyalists. After all, the big guys didn't know him before.

Emperor Ling ascended the throne in the first month. In August, he cleverly used the eunuch's power to kill the general Dou Wu, and also made the queen mother lose power, officially becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This time, the emperor is the emperor with real power, not someone's puppet.

When he succeeded to the throne, the family and the imperial power struggled, and the imperial power had already fallen into a disadvantage.When he succeeded to the throne, the financial revenue of the Han Dynasty was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

It's just that Emperor Ling is shameless and only wants to make money, even if he is selling an official.Because he got the money, he can afford the central army.

Because he can afford to support the Central Army, even if the scholars call him damn every day, he is a leftover, and a faint king, but his position as the Son of Heaven is still very firm.

If Chongzhen could have the ability and awareness of Emperor Ling, the Ming Dynasty could last at least another few decades.Even if it will still perish in the end, it will not perish the world.

"After Emperor Ling passed away, General He Jin came to power. This period of history is a bit complicated, and it should be different from the history books."

The personal image of He Jin in the history books is that of a [-], the kind with substandard intelligence, not even comparable to ordinary people, just like a primary school student.

"He Jin in the history books was vacillating. In the end, he was beheaded by the eunuch carelessly. Then Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others, in order to avenge He Jin, directly entangled the army to attack the palace, and successfully broke through the palace."

To be honest, this is quite speechless.

There is no difference between this kind of behavior and rebellion!
Of course, Yuan Shu might say: I want to be a good person, but I have no choice!
"A careful analysis reveals that He Jin first used the scholars to attack the eunuchs, making the eunuchs surrender unconditionally to him, and used the scholars again and again to intimidate the eunuchs. Then, he and Empress He had a white face and a red face."

Then, the two great powers of gentry and eunuchs were completely controlled by He Jin and Queen He.

Then, He Jin easily won the surrender of the ten permanent attendants.

Originally, in history, the ten permanent servants had agreed to surrender unconditionally to He Jin, which was a sincere surrender, which meant that He Jin successfully had a second force under his command.

At that time, He Jin could not only divide and win over the gentry, but also control the power of the eunuchs. If the gentry were disobedient, they would let the eunuch, a vicious dog, bark a few times.

This is simply perfect!
But it's a pity that at that time, Yuan Shao also found out that He Jin had been playing him all the time!
You play me?
How dare you fucking play me?
Then Yuan Shao was ruthless and directly used the name of the General's Mansion to write a letter to the local officials in the name of He Jin, ordering them to directly kill the relatives of the officials in their hometown.

When the relatives of the eunuchs in their hometown were abused by the local officials, the eunuchs no longer believed in any Jin, and even started to fight with their backs, because they had lost their retreat, and they had no choice but to kill He Jin.

However, when Yuan Shao was doing all this, he didn't reveal any information to He Jin, and then He Jin swaggered into the palace and was killed by the eunuch.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao led troops to attack the palace.

This is the executive ability of the first-class gentry children in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!

General He Jin played me again today!
After thinking about it, I decided to use the eunuch to kill the general first, and then break into the palace under the banner of avenging the general, and then take the opportunity to become a powerful minister.

But I never expected that when I finished the first half of the script, Dong Zhuo popped up halfway!
This guy, picked my peaches!

"...To sum up, due to various chances and coincidences, Dong Zhuo successfully entered the capital and became a Grand Master."

"There must be accidents in this. The conflict between the Kanto scholars and the Kanxi scholars is not a day or two."

It’s also funny to say that many people only know that the Qing Dynasty signed a lot of land cession and indemnity agreements, but they don’t know that my Han court reached a tacit agreement from top to bottom and collectively gave up part of Bingzhou.

For example, Jiuyuan County, the place where Lu Bu was born, was already a mixture of Hu and Han when he was born, and even the majority of Hu people had the upper hand. Every year, Hu people would come to beat the autumn wind and rob the local Han people.

Does the Han court know about this scene?

Should have known!

Do they care?

Basically don't care!

After abandoning some counties and counties in Bingzhou, the Han court may have become addicted to abandoning the land. Some Kanto scholars with big mouths said that Liangzhou is a money-losing product. We rule Liangzhou and lose money every day. No.

Or, let's throw Liangzhou away, too?
As long as Liangzhou is thrown away, the financial revenue and expenditure of the Han Dynasty will look much better?

This official said so, completely out of public interest.Who made the imperial court go bankrupt several times because of the rebellion of Qiang people in Liangzhou?
Therefore, the reason why I said this is not to further attack the right to speak of Kansai scholars, nor to attack the right to speak of Kansai warriors, but for the sake of the overall situation of the world!
It's all for the big picture!

You Kansai scholars and Kansai samurai, you must have the overall thinking of a game of chess in the world. You can’t just think about your hometown being invaded by the Qiang people all day long, and you can’t just think about your folks and elders being robbed and killed by the Qiang people all day long. die……

Have a bigger picture!
Then, the Kanto scholar who said this was beaten to death by the Kansai scholar!
Therefore, Liangzhou has not been abandoned yet!
But from this we can see how low the integrity of the Guandong scholars is. It is not wrong to say that they have no integrity at all!

"So, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he hit it off with the Kansai scholars. This is inevitable. After Dong Zhuo and the Kansai scholars came to power, it was inevitable that the Kanto scholars rebelled collectively."

Guandong scholars: We worked hard to kill the eunuchs, we worked hard to kill the generals, we worked hard to throw the majesty of the royal family on the ground (breaking the palace, forcing Empress He and the emperor to flee in a hurry, forcing the maids, Forcibly kill all beardless people in the palace).

As a result, you Kanto scholars directly stole the fruits of our victory!
I can bear this?

The other way around!
"In today's Great Han Dynasty, although the literati and warriors are not as distinct as in the later Ming Dynasty, there is also a saying about going east and going west."

To put it simply and crudely, the Dong Zhuo Rebellion was essentially a conflict between the generals of the Han Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty.

They fought over who would be the boss and who would eat the pie, and finally Dong Zhuo's Rebellion broke out.

Dong Zhuo's rebellion was just an appearance.

Even if Dong Zhuo was killed, the conflict between the generals of the Han Dynasty would not be resolved!Explosion is a matter of time!
The difference is that when Emperor Ling is alive, he can ease the time for the decisive battle between the two sides.When He Jin is alive, he can also keep the two sides at peace on the surface.

And now, Lingdi is about to die!

He Jin, how long he can live is hard to say!
After all, the fighting power of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Xu You, Guo Tu and other contemporary scholars is not ordinary tough, it is very powerful!
　I recommend a book, which is putting on a new vest for the old author.

　　I'm still reading this book, it's still very good.
