Xuande

Chapter 110

Liu Bei is not comfortable, and the others are actually not comfortable either.

From the first day of the first month of this year, the party struggle between Yang Ci and Yuan Kui, the modern literature school and the ancient literature school among the ruling and opposition parties became more and more intense.

The two sides desperately wanted to find each other's flaws, and tried their best to put each other to death, so as to gain a chance to completely defeat each other.

Because Yang Ci impeached Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang for their misconduct, he fabricated some sexual rumors out of thin air in an attempt to kill Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang, and his methods were very vicious.

Some dove faction forces within the Yuan and Xun families were humiliated, and their power declined greatly. The mainstream forces of the Yuan and Xun families had no choice but to completely tear themselves apart from the Modern Literature School, and there was no room for relaxation between them.

The School of Ancient Literature and the School of Modern Literature are becoming more and more distinct, more like two political parties who dislike each other, and have a fairly clear sense of group and self-enemy.

The party struggle at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty officially kicked off.

Liu Hong saw the two sides dog-eat-dog, and watched the two sides unconsciously hand over the right of arbitration to himself, allowing himself to decide the outcome of their struggle. He did not feel the danger approaching at all, but became more and more happy.

This feeling of being deeply involved in political struggle makes Liu Hong feel very good.

And Liu Hong did more than that.

With the help of Liu Bei, Liu Hong has visited Taixue many times since the first month of the sixth year of Guanghe, listening to the lectures given by the newly appointed Dr. Zheng Xuan of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, and personally talked with Zheng Xuan about Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals—— Liu Bei helped organize it, and Liu Hong only needs to memorize it in advance.

When Zheng Xuan found out that Liu Hong didn't just come here for a formality, he was a little more thoughtful.

Ever since Zheng Xuan took over as Dr. Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period and started teaching at Taixue, students from all over the world have been bustling with each other. Nothing is wrong.

At the beginning, the Modern Literature School didn't care about the overall supremacy of the Ancient Literature School within Taixue, but after Yang Ci was restored, with the rapid recovery of the academic atmosphere of Taixue, Yang Ci felt that the situation was not good.

Seeing the rapid development of Taixue, and seeing that it was about to become the academic territory of the ancient literature school, he was shocked, and immediately decided to use resources to compete with the ancient literature school.

Driven by Yang Ci, seven of the thirteen dharma inheritance families that are still under control quickly responded to his call, sending outstanding core clan members and outstanding high-level disciples to Taixue to pick up the law again. They have almost abandoned their careers in Taixue.

It's not that they really want to give up any political interests, but it's also necessary to compete with the ancient literature school for popularity and students who don't need to pay much political resources.

After this battle, the huge popularity of the ancient literature school left Yang Ci and others with lingering fears. They felt that they could no longer close themselves up and play games in a small circle. .

If we don’t make changes to the illusion of prosperity, the fertile water will become waste water that no one in the world cares about!
Of course, it's impossible for them to give up the real benefits. It's just lecturing. If there are really excellent students, it's no big deal to accept students for a token, but they will definitely not accept students.

Where is this?
In February of the sixth year of Guanghe, the Taixue career of the Jinwen School, which was almost abandoned, began to pick up. When some scholars really discovered that these Fuyue families had put some meaningful things into the Taixue , I couldn't help but want to take advantage of it.

Because it is true that the Modern Literature School has not really come to an end, and it seems that it can continue to struggle for a while.

With competition, there will be a good life for leeks.

The existence of Zheng Xuan is tantamount to winning some serious "fertilizer" for a large number of fresh and tender leeks. Those Fanyue families really want to compete with Zheng Xuan for the right to speak in Taixue.

The original Taixue at the end of the Han Dynasty claimed to be [-] Taixue students, but it is difficult to say how many of them are really studying and how many are just dawdling.

Anyway, as far as Liu Bei knows, most of the tens of thousands of Taixue students come to Luoyang to see the world. I don't know what the doctor looks like.

It was purely spending a large sum of money from the family to come to Luoyang for consumption.

These [-] Tai students gave a great boost to the consumption of the old Luoyang people in Luoyang City. Although the old Luoyang people looked down on these Tai students from other places, they still praised their spending power.

Of course, it is enough to keep the money, but not the people.

Come and go wherever you want.

But from the beginning of the sixth year of Guanghe, the undisciplined atmosphere of Taixue began to disappear, and the bastards who used to dawdle in the past stopped dawdling so much, and began to study the classics seriously.

The prosperous academic atmosphere in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty seems to be gradually returning to Taixue and reappearing in Taixue.

Teachers of ancient texts and classics seized the opportunity to teach extensively, held various forums and lectures on the vast grounds of Taixue, and spread the classics and meanings of ancient texts and classics. It suddenly became thicker.

It is often seen that teachers and students gather in the buildings of Taixue to discuss academics.

If the weather is fine, the teachers and students will move outdoors and sit together under the shade of the trees. The teacher said that the students listened, and it was quite interesting.

Following this trend, Liu Hong, who has received Liu Bei's professional training, appeared in Taixue and Zheng Xuan many times to discuss the scriptures, and asked Zheng Xuan for advice. He assumed a serious attitude of studying and sat opposite Zheng Xuan with some scholars. Listen to him lecture.

Zheng Xuan, who didn't know why, was inexplicably excited, and the scholars who didn't know why were also inexplicably excited.

Liu Hong is the emperor after all.

Regardless of whether he was ridiculed and turned into the prefect of Luoyang, he was still the emperor, and he was still an adult emperor.

The emperor personally participated in the teaching of the scriptures and righteousness, and discussed the scriptures and righteousness with Zheng Xuan and scholars in a serious manner. How many years has this happened?
After class, Liu Hong was not in a hurry to leave. He randomly picked a nearby student to talk to him about Zuo's Spring and Autumn. When he spoke, he seemed to be surrounded by stars.

Liu Hong enjoyed this feeling very much.

He began to feel the refreshing feeling that Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang once felt.

Perhaps, this is the respect that an emperor should enjoy?
As the creator and behind-the-scenes manipulator of all this, Liu Bei has gained greater trust and appreciation from Liu Hong. Because it is inconvenient to be promoted, Liu Hong secretly bestowed Liu Bei with property many times to reward Liu Bei. hope.

Liu Bei seems to have become the "Prime Minister of the Mountain" beside Liu Hong, and the most trusted existence of Liu Hong outside the eunuch group.

Whenever Liu Hong has any serious questions, he will ask Liu Bei for advice, especially about Zuo's age, Liu Hong will also ask Liu Bei for advice.

Gradually, Liu Hong himself was indeed not satisfied with reciting the standard answers, but really began to study Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, and there was no tendency for him to slack off for the time being.

Liu Bei didn't expect Liu Hong to really get into the drama while he was acting.

Of course, this is a good thing.

If the imperial power wants to be revived to a certain extent, Liu Hong really needs some real skills.

Here Liu Hong is having a great time hanging out in Taixue, while Yang Ci and Yuan Kai are constantly dog-eating dogs in Shangshutai, you scold me, I scold you, you pour me dirty water, I will put a hat on you, Lu Zhi Busy with dealing with the constant disputes within Shangshutai, exhausted physically and mentally.

Among the people, the scholars of the ancient literature school and the scholars of the modern literature school continued to stage street debates, and even street fights, which released a lot of evil fire accumulated by both sides. Luoyang County Magistrate and Sili Xiaowei were involved in it many times , difficult to escape.

In the palace, the eunuchs were not idle either, holding back a wave of evil fire and preparing to release it.

In the last days of the dynasty, demons and goblins always try to do something to make the chariot on the edge of the cliff fall into the abyss faster.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong took the lead and secretly selected a group of experts to fill the East Garden. According to the detailed rules discussed by Zhang Rang and Liu Bei, the skeleton of the East Garden was built, and then filled with flesh and internal organs, in order to establish this department as soon as possible.

Then severely demonstrate the power of the eunuchs.

By May of the sixth year of Guanghe, the basic structure of the East Garden had been almost completed, and the intensive training was also going on in full swing, and the next problem that everyone could not ignore was placed in front of them.

How can the East Garden, a special royal institution, be formally established and appear before the eyes of the world in a fair and honest way, and how can it successfully launch the first shot of opening up the world?

It is undeniable that Liu Hong is not an emperor who can do whatever he wants so far.

Especially in terms of government power, the ancient literature school and the modern literature school are almost out of their minds. Liu Hong is going to step in casually. It is too conspicuous and it is easy to arouse hatred.

He needs a legitimate reason that can no longer be justified so that the organization of Dongyuan can be established in a serious manner and start to build its deterrent force.

So, what to do?

The eunuchs brainstormed for a while and thought of many ways, but Liu Hong shook his head and denied it, thinking it was too deliberate.

In the end, it was Liu Bei who proposed a rather horrifying plan.

Liu Hong needs to be "assassinated" before he can "Long Yan is furious" and ordered a thorough investigation of the "assassination case", further muddying the dispute between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, and then announced "Dongyuan", a spy intelligence agency directly under the emperor formally established.

In other words, they need to direct and act out a bitter drama by themselves, and use bitter tricks, so that they can stand on the high ground of rationality.

In this way, Dong Yuan will be able to make his debut.
