Xuande

Chapter 593 He wants to let the Holy Eastern Han Empire die

Liu Xie is a little emperor, a little emperor with no real power, but a little emperor is also an emperor.

The son of heaven has a golden mouth, once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow, with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, what he says is what he says.

Although he himself may not have figured out what was going on, but the meaning was already in place, and there was no suspense about what to do next.

Under the steps, there is the [His Majesty Shengming] like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

There are also some desperate howls of defeated dogs.

Of course, no one would care what the roars of these defeated dogs looked like, the winners had already fallen into ecstasy and couldn't extricate themselves.

The century-old strife has finally come to a successful conclusion, and the twists and turns of good things have finally come to an end.

The Jinwen School has been abandoned!

The ancient school of literature has won!
In the afternoon of that day, what happened in the imperial court had already spread throughout Luoyang City. It has become a thing of the past to guide the government with the classics of the present, and the present and the future with the classics of the ancient ones.

According to the announcement issued by the imperial court, the imperial court will complete the transformation of the country's official guiding ideology and the transformation of advanced education policies such as Taixue within one month.

The Han Empire will fully adopt the ancient Chinese classics as the official orthodox learning, and depose all the modern Chinese classics. The modern Chinese classics are no longer official studies, and the ancient Chinese classics are the latest official studies.

The Five Classics and the Fourteen Schools of Law thus became history, and were all deposed and abandoned, and the brand-new Five Classics entered the stage of history.

they are--

"Zhou Guanli".

"Zuoshi Chunqiu".

"Fei Shiyi".

"Guwen Shangshu".

"Mao Shi".

There are no fourteen family laws, only five family laws, and these five family laws correspond to more than ten inherited families.

Headed by Liu Bei's Zhuo County Zhuo County Liu family and Lu Zhi's Zhuo County Zhuo County Lu family, these more than a dozen inherited families will become the new peak of the Han Empire's noble families - the Famous Families.

In contrast, all the inheritance families corresponding to the five classics and fourteen family laws of this article will all become history, lose their status as famous families, and lose everything.

Their disciples are no longer eligible to be recommended by their families to become officials. These inheritance families can no longer seek opportunities for their disciples to become officials. After learning the classics of modern texts, they can no longer be officials!
How many people are heartbroken, how many people are crying, how many people are desperate.

Even some old scholars of the Jinwen School could not accept this fact, and hanged themselves when they returned home.

They will lose everything, they will lose all their future, all their past glory will be gone, they are finished!
But no one cares, no one cares about the wailing of the losers, no one cares about how bleak the future of the losers of the Modern Literature School will be, even if they die, so what?

The death of the loser is a matter of course. The most indispensable thing in the Eastern Han Empire is not people, but dead people.

no way.

This is a zero-sum game where the winner takes all and the loser loses everything, with no room for détente.

As a result, the dust has settled, and all this cannot be changed. The emperor's golden words have been spoken, and there is only one last step - the promulgation of the emperor's decree and the final announcement to the world.

This will probably take about two days. Zhang Rang said that he will solve it as soon as possible, and try to make an official announcement at the next day's Great Court Meeting.

But the officials of the ancient literature school couldn't help but start celebrating.

They have been suppressed for too long, they need to be clear, they need to be released, they need to vent completely, and they need to do all the things they want to do.

Even Lu Zhi, who has a long-term expression of sadness and joy and has excellent self-cultivation, held a reception at home after this matter was confirmed, drank a lot of alcohol like never before, and invited musicians and dancers to help.

The old guys of the ancient literature school are so elated, so happy, and the happy ones are about to become immortals.

They kept drinking, kept laughing, and sang ugly songs at the top of their voices, thinking that they hadn't had such a happy time since they were born.

However, Liu Bei was not overly elated. He participated in the banquet and drank some wine, but while drinking, he made an excuse to go outside to enjoy the wind, and left the banquet hall and the place where the demons danced wildly.

The slightly chilly wind quickly blew away the heat on his body. He looked up at the cold moon and sighed slightly.

"It's such a good time, why did Xuande sigh?"

A familiar voice sounded, Liu Bei turned his head and smiled.

"Why doesn't the teacher continue to drink in there? The disciples were very happy to see the teacher just now."

"Happiness is happiness, but my good disciple is worried. How can I, as a teacher, be happy alone?"

Lu Zhi walked forward with a smile, patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and said with a drunken smile, "Say it, tell it, Xuande, it's a good time, why do you sigh at Yue?"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi for a while.

Then he turned his gaze to the moon in the sky.

"Teacher, I'm just wondering if the celebration banquet on the night when the Jinwen School won an all-round victory after the White Tiger View meeting was exactly the same as our celebration banquet today? The ancestors of the Jinwen School on that day Are you the same as we are now, celebrating, drinking, and not going home without getting drunk?"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Lu Zhi's complexion slowly changed.

Three points of drunkenness quickly disappeared under the cold wind, Lu Zhi put his hands down, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky together.

"Xuande, in fact, sometimes, you don't have to think so long-term, and you don't need to always shoulder too many responsibilities on yourself and make yourself exhausted. Of course, as a teacher, you will also think about some things in the future, but it's not too much. Think about that today."

"The disciple doesn't want to, but he can't let it go no matter what."

"Try handing it over to someone else?"

"Those who have the ability don't have the will, but those who have the will lack the ability and qualifications. The disciples can't find a fellow, so they can only carry it by themselves."

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said, "Besides, how many people in this world are willing to do sinful things? If disciples don't do many things, no one will really do them, but it's impossible not to do them."

"Isn't there still a teacher?"

Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "Xuande, all along, your disciple has done much more things than my teacher. Outsiders always say that my teacher is not as good as your disciple. I think that such a That’s exactly what the evaluation is about.”

"Teacher, you..."

"But not from now on, Xuande, from now on, as a teacher, I will never let you walk alone."

Lu Zhi squeezed Liu Bei's shoulders tightly: "The future path is what you want to go, and it is also what you want to take as a teacher. You are younger than a teacher, and some things that offend others will be done by the teacher. You and I The master and apprentice work hand in hand, and this matter must be done thoroughly, isn't it?"

"Teacher, what my disciples are worried about is not just Dutian, there are many more."

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said: "The big man has too many problems. Since ZTE, his steps have been faltering. The problems before ZTE have not been actually solved, but have been strengthened. Today, there are signs that it is hard to recover.

Although the teacher has the ambition to change the world, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. Without the disciples and the army in the hands of the disciples, many things would not be possible. "

"It's man-made."

Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "Not only must you see, you must know, but you must also be able to do it, Xuande, before the thing is finished, don't think too much, don't put too much in your heart, otherwise you will be in trouble before the thing is finished. Going to be exhausted.

As a teacher, I know that there are many bad policies that you want to change. Take your time, don't worry, you are only 29 years old, you still have a good time, you still have a long time to do things, don't worry. "

"Teacher, I..."

"At least tonight, let's rejoice, go to listen to songs, watch songs and dances, go to drink, and indulge in pleasure."

Lu Zhi took Liu Bei's hand and pulled him back: "At least tonight, you and I, master and apprentice, should be unrestrained, no matter what happens, no matter what big things happen, let's see tomorrow! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Liu Bei was pulled by Lu Zhi, and he couldn't help walking forward.

Looking at Lu Zhi's unprecedentedly cheerful face, he suddenly felt that perhaps at this very moment, Lu Zhi was more like an excellent guide than ever before.

People say that Lu Zhi is not as good as his disciple, but Lu Zhi may have always been an excellent leader, and Liu Bei is far from ready to be a teacher.

So that night, Liu Bei drank a lot of wine, and felt a little drunk like never before.

That night he slept at Lu Zhi's house, and he didn't wake up until dawn. He ate a good breakfast and ended the whole night of indulgence.

The indulgence was over, and it was time for him to return to his former self.

The time was short, but his heart was very happy.

Afterwards, Liu Bei discussed important matters in Lu Zhi's Taiwei Mansion with the bigwigs of the ancient literature school who came to discuss matters-such as a series of procedures for completely replacing modern classics with ancient classics.

This is an important matter related to the superstructure of the entire Han Empire, and it cannot be taken lightly. The joy of yesterday has passed, and the future is slowly approaching. They must be cautious, extremely cautious.

At that time, a meeting of the White Tiger Temple determined that the ancient literature school was out of the game, and at the same time it set up layers of shackles for the modern literature school. It wanted to completely transform the modern text classics with the ability to change into a ruling technique suitable for the ruler. unsuccessful.

The rulers of the Eastern Han Empire spent 100 years, limited by their own lack of academic level and short life span, after all, they failed to complete the transformation of the modern classics, and instead fell into paralysis.

So the Modern Literature School was abolished, and the Eastern Han Empire was also abolished.

Governance is incompetent, thinking is chaotic, unable to be unified, and torn apart.

But now that the Ancient Literature School is in power, they also need to launch a brand new [White Tiger View Conference] based on the political situation of the Eastern Han Empire, discuss with the rulers the latest and most practical ruling order, change their appearance, and start again.

Of course, the ancient literature school does not have the entanglement of the modern literature school.

"Rituals" is a gift for scholars. The Jinwen School did not adapt to the changes in the imperial power society from the very beginning, and still regarded the Qin and Han First Empires with the attitude of the monarch and the scholar-bureaucrats in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, which is naturally inconsistent. objective law of development.

And from the beginning to the end, they have never met the needs of the emperors.

The ancient literature school is much more pragmatic, and "Zhou Guanli" doesn't care about these things at all. What it cares about is just a shell, a shell of "ritual system" that can accommodate the entire ruler's desire.

In short, the shell uses mine, the coat wears mine, claims to be mine, as for what's inside...

Lord Ruler, you can come here as you like.

The soft-bodied Paleo School and Paleo Classics are very good at this.

However, the situation at this moment is different from that of then.

The modern literature school is facing an excellent political emperor, while the ancient literature school is facing an eight-year-old little emperor.

The Baihuguan meeting in the new era does not have an adult emperor like Emperor Zhang of Han.

Emperor Hanzhang received a complete imperial education, and also received a complete education in Confucian classics. He had his own views on Confucian classics and how to rule. He was also an adult emperor with a stable position. Facing Emperor Hanzhang, Confucian scholars, is vulnerable.

Liu Xie does not have these conditions.

He is just a little emperor with insufficient knowledge now.

Of course, this little emperor can't decide everything, and he doesn't have the ability to decide everything, so how to do things depends on the opinions of the four ministers, and Liu Bei has the most say in the four ministers.

Liu Bei is also the master of Zuo's spring and Autumn family.

Therefore, in the White Tiger View meeting in the new era, the person who can make the final decision on the future path of the great man is Liu Bei, a member of the ancient literature school.

It means that Liu Bei is both a referee and a player.

Being able to hold an internal meeting with Liu Bei in advance on this matter is of course the greatest benefit for the ancient literature school.

What they hope is that Liu Bei can lean more towards the ancient literature school and keep as much content as possible that is beneficial to the school and the family, instead of being decided too much by Emperor Hanzhang like in the Baihuguan meeting back then.

The modern literature school was paralyzed by Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, and the ancient literature school was congenitally deficient. If they were paralyzed again, would they still be able to govern?
Regarding these, Liu Bei's attitude is relatively clear.

He did not agree with many things left by the White Tiger View meeting back then, and many things determined by Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, and he even completely opposed it.

But on the surface, he opposed these things purely from the perspective of the ancient texts.

Therefore, regarding the agreement reached between the Jinwen School and the imperial power 100 years ago, he meant to [criticize inheritance].

We cannot oppose all of them, but we will never fully accept them. Taking into account practical factors, we cannot overthrow all of them, but there are always some things that need to be changed.

He wants to chop with all his strength.

And this knife slashed at the theocratic rule system established by the relay of three generations of emperors, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Han Zhangdi.

In short, he will bring the Holy Eastern Han Empire to its death in this meeting.
