Xuande

Chapter 362

Faced with Ma Rixun's persuasion, Lu Zhi thought about it and expressed doubts.

"Yuan Gong is also a member of the Ancient Literature School. He made great contributions to the Ancient Literature School's victory over the Modern Literature School. He has always been at the forefront. On the battlefield, he is a fierce general. Why should I be wary of him?"

"If he had no other ideas, why did he suddenly send the family's children into the army?"

Ma Rixun shook his head and said: "Not to mention that he tried to transfer Dong Zhuo from Zuo Fengyi back to Luoyang several times, but he failed before, but now he succeeds. If Dong Zhuo wins this battle, Yuan Kui will definitely benefit. .

At that time, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu will all belong to him, and his Yuan family's prestige in the army will greatly increase, and his power will suddenly increase, and his power will also increase.

He was originally the Sangong who recorded the affairs of the minister. He has the same status as you. His disciples and old officials are all over the world, and he is very powerful. If the prestige in the army rises again, then you will not be able to fight against him. He is likely to overwhelm the leader. Self-proclaimed leader of the ancient literature school! "

Lu Zhi was taken aback.

"Why does Uncle Weng speculate on Yuan Gong so much?"

"It's not that I speculate on him, but that he is such a person."

Ma Rixun sighed and said: "Actually, Zigan, you just don't have a deep understanding of political disputes. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family are famous all over the world under the name of Duke Zheng. The Yuan family can barely obey orders. Once Duke Zheng leaves, only you are left. How can your family background compare with Yuan's?
With Yuan's usual demeanor, do you think Yuan would be willing to be under you?Zigan, it's not that I deliberately belittle you, but Yuan Wei and his family's status is too high to be overwhelmed by extraordinary people, so you must be careful. "

Lu Zhi was stunned after hearing this, and then remained silent for a long time.

"Uncle Weng, I may not understand what you said, but this is not what I hoped. The Ancient Literature School gathered together to fight against the Modern Literature School, not to fight among themselves.

Shouldn't our goal be to push all ancient Chinese classics into official studies?The Yuan family should also have such a long-cherished wish, why should they fight among themselves?I don't want to do what makes relatives hurt and enemies happy. "

Facing Lu Zhi's lofty integrity, Ma Rixun smiled wryly.

"Zigan, I don't want to do such a thing, but today, I feel that the situation in the world seems to have changed again. There are more and more wars and chaos. There are always endless rebellions. Endless difficulties.

These things come one after another. Before all these things are dealt with, how can I have free time to wait for me to promote the classics of ancient literature into official schools?I feel that what happened before may not continue. "

"But if this is not the case, what is the purpose of the Ancient Literature School living here?"

Lu Zhi spread his hands and said loudly: "What we have done is to destroy the decadent Jinwen school, reshape a more prosperous Dahan academics, make the Dahan academics flourish again, and be worthy of the teachings of the sages. Is it to fight for power?"

"Is not it?"

Ma Rixun shook his head and smiled, "Zigan, there are only you and me here, why is this so?"

Lu Zhi was silent.

After a while, Lu Zhi sighed deeply.

"Uncle Weng, even if what you said is true, what if Yuan Kai really wants to seize the position of the leader of the ancient literature school? I don't have any ideas about this position. I have no intention of fighting for power and profit. He really wants to , I’ll just give it to him, what’s the point?”

"You are willing, but we are not."

Ma Rixun's eyes widened: "Zigan, don't forget that the Yuan family is a wealthy literary family, and we are just allies, not fellow travelers. Don't you find it strange that a wealthy literary family can become the leader of the ancient literature school? Don't you think this is inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi hesitated a little.

"I……"

"Yuan has enough disciples and old officials. The most powerful in the modern literary school are the Yuan family and the Yang family. Now that the Yang family is declining and the Yuan family is rising, let them become the leaders of the ancient literature school. Wouldn't the Yuan family be number one in the world?" High gate?"

Ma Rixun said dissatisfiedly: "At that time, Yuan Kui will be one of the three princes, who will record the affairs of the minister, and his clan will still have military power, and he will also be the leader of the ancient literature school. This family will be the only one with great power!
If it's really come to that point, Zigan, how can you make me wait?Do you want me to bow down as Yuan's minister?I absolutely cannot accept such a thing!Yuan Shi don't want to step on my head! "

"Uncle Weng, you..."

Lu Zhi sighed helplessly: "The modern school of literature has just lost its leader, why can't we take advantage of the victory to seize the official school, why do we have to fight among ourselves at this moment?
The reason why the Modern Literature School failed was because facing us, they were internally strife, their hearts were not in harmony, and they were directly defeated by our united generation. Now if we also strife, wouldn’t we fail? "

"Being safe from the outside must be done first!"

Ma Rizun said in a low voice: "If you can't get rid of the internal worries, when you concentrate on the external world, the internal enemies will stab you after you are killed, how can you deal with yourself?

The Yuan family is such a family. While interacting with scholars, they flirt with eunuchs at the same time, and have an ambiguous attitude. Such a family must not be trusted! "

Lu Zhi was speechless.

"In the current situation, military power is very important."

Ma Rixun persuaded: "You don't hold the military power now, but your disciple Xuande holds the military power. You should try to discuss this matter with Xuande, use Xuande's power to counter Yuan's power, and don't let Yuan's power become too powerful." Overexpansion!

The power of the Yuan family is now moving closer to Luoyang. It is already clear what Yuan Kui wants to do. If you don't make plans early, you will regret it! "

Lu Zhi sat down quietly, bowed his head in thought.

Ma Rixun did not disturb Lu Zhi, and quietly waited for his decision.

After pondering for a while, Lu Zhi came up with his own idea.

"We not only have the enemy of the Jinwen School, but the eunuchs are not our allies. At this moment, internal strife will only bring us huge worries. I can't do this. Regarding the matter of Yuan Gong, we can talk about it, and we can talk about it openly. , there’s no need for tit-for-tat, is there?”

Ma Rixun was very anxious.

"You don't want to fight tit for tat, but Yuan Kai doesn't want to. He's the kind of person who only has power and status in his eyes. If you talk to him about the future of the ancient literature school, he will only laugh and won't say anything else!"

"Uncle Weng, you...are you thinking too much?"

"Zigan, it's because you don't think enough! You are in a high position, how can you only want to do business and not politics?"

Lu Zhi seemed moved, but in the end he didn't do anything to reassure Ma Rixun. The conversation between the two didn't get a positive result, which made Ma Rixun very dissatisfied.

Lu Zhi felt that Ma Rixun was thinking too much.

Ma Rixun felt that Lu Zhi thought too little, and he was really not a leader who could take on great responsibilities, so Ma Rixun thought of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei who secretly engages in big things without telling everyone.

As a son of a wealthy family, Ma Rixun thought that Liu Bei might be the one who could lead the ancient literature school to truly crush the modern literature school and reach the peak.

So Ma Rixun decided to write to Liu Bei, tell him about Luoyang, and see if Liu Bei has any opinions on it.

In fact, Liu Bei has been paying attention to the situation in Luoyang, including the war in Hedong County. He actually knew about it relatively early, and he also knew about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu going to the battlefield one after another.

But he didn't think it made any sense.

Because everything he built in Liangzhou has already formed a dimensionality reduction blow to Yuan Kai's plan. What he seeks is the destruction and reconstruction of the entire system, and what Yuan Kai is obsessed with is to make Yuan the ruler of the Eastern Han Empire.

They want to establish a dictatorship of scholars, and Yuan is the absolute leader. They may not have the ambition and courage to change the dynasty, but they believe that they can do what eunuchs and relatives can do.

It is derived from this that scholars also want to obtain the possibility of systematically controlling the imperial power, and then abolish eunuchs and foreign relatives, turn this comfort zone into a comfort zone for scholars, and then make all good things To the scholar.

If the action aimed at this goal is to be successful, not only the eunuchs must be eliminated, but also the relatives. Not to mention, if Dong Zhuo's step was not miscalculated, Yuan Kai would have almost succeeded.

The relatives were killed, the eunuchs were killed, and the troika of the Eastern Han Empire was only the last one left in the second half of the sixth year of Zhongping.

But this time, he didn't have that hope.
