Xuande

Chapter 602
The Kong family will naturally be let go. Their ancestors are strong, and everyone has to rely on the banners torn down by their ancestors, so no matter what happens, the Kong family must be let go.

And from the perspective of time and distance, Kong really did not participate in this matter.

Although other families of the Modern Literature School are in the same state, only the Kong family can restore the sense of the Ancient Literature School with hot head and red eyes. Facing other families, the Ancient Literature School is a pure beast.

With the mentality of a beast, he launched a blast against the modern literature school, never ending.

Another exception is the Hongnong Yang family. This family was offered by Liu Bei to be treated differently.

Liu Bei thought that the Yang family should be treated a little more leniently, instead of beating him to death with a stick. He first took the Yang family to Luoyang for interrogation, and then thoroughly investigated the Yang family to see if there were any prohibited or rebellious items. Make another decision.

Apart from these two families, the rest of the Jinwen School families were not so lucky.

Including the Longkanghuan family, Liu Bei sent troops from Luoyang to capture them in one fell swoop. The whole family was destroyed, all those who resisted were killed, and all those who were captured were brought to Luoyang for interrogation. They were all caught, and none of them were spared.

Then Liu Bei also asked his General's Mansion to fully grasp the work of counting and sorting out the family property of the family being questioned.

The whole capture and capture operation was not too complicated. Luoyang's elite soldiers went to carry out the task in person. Although these families were large in scale, they also had the ability to resist, but there was no time to exert their strength.

Luoyang's elite soldiers took the lead in launching a sneak attack after arriving, destroying their families and capturing the main characters, making it impossible for these families to resist, and all of them were captured without a fight.

Of course, some families have good reputations, and some people in the local area wanted to ask for mercy, but they were rejected without hesitation.

There are also some disciples who probably miss the kindness of these families, or want to gain a wave of fame according to the old practice, and feel that this is a promising thing.

For example, more than a hundred disciples of the Lang family in Anqiu, Beihai, came to loot when the Lang family was captured and escorted to Luoyang.

Wearing simple equipment, they launched a sneak attack on the escorting army, hoping that the sudden attack would catch the escorting army off guard and successfully plunder.

The result, of course, was that they were all eliminated by Luoyang's elite soldiers who were carrying out the mission.

The gap between them and the regular army was too great. They couldn't stop a round of counterattack from the regular army. Most of them were killed, and some were captured alive. After a big memory recovery operation, they all confessed.

Report these clues to Luoyang. After Liu Bei learned about it, he dispatched generals and elite soldiers to the local area to attack these "rebels" who dared to attack the official army.

This is the most direct rebellion, so there is no room for negotiation. Suppress the rebellion and wipe out the three clans.

For this reason, some local dissatisfaction and panic occurred in the two counties of Beihai State and Jiyin County, and some families fled to the south. It seems that they are afraid of being punished by the Luoyang court.

In short, this wave of actions still has a great impact, and the local chiefs also have different opinions on this matter, but generally speaking, none of the official tasks made irresponsible remarks on the actions of the Luoyang court.

Even Liu Yu, shepherd of Qingzhou, did not take any action in the face of Liu Bei sending people to Beihai to perform tasks. He let Luoyang's elite soldiers handle affairs in Beihai, and he did not participate in the whole process. Tai Shici and others rushed to Donglai County to suppress the water bandits.

They all knew that this was not only the anger of Liu Bei alone, but also the anger of the entire school of ancient literature, and the anger of a group of people currently in charge of the authority in Luoyang City.

Once the anger of this group of people erupts, it will be very bad if it is not vented cleanly.

The assassination move of the Modern Literature School was really stinking, and it directly violated the highest taboo of the entire officialdom, so when Liu Bei vented his anger, no matter what thoughts the local officials had in mind, they dared not express it.

Right now, they are all looking forward to Liu Bei venting his anger as soon as possible, so that they can live a peaceful life for a few days.

Fortunately, Liu Bei didn't intend to mess up the world with this wave, so the people he sent were very well-mannered and didn't cause any trouble, that is to say, he started more fiercely and deterred the local people more fiercely.

While Luoyang's elite soldiers went to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou and other places to do business, they also simultaneously enhanced the prestige and deterrent power of the Luoyang court in the local area.

These two things have gradually declined since the Hedong crisis. After Liu Hong's death and the Luoyang coup, the prestige and deterrent power of the Luoyang court to the local area dropped to freezing point.

As Liu Bei conquered Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the prestige and deterrent power of the Luoyang court gradually rose again. After Liu Bei resolved the rebellion in Jizhou and Youzhou and completed a successful Northern Expedition, this deterrent power began to be violent with Liu Bei himself as the core. swell.

But this time, the Luoyang court's overall political liquidation of the Modern Literature School expanded this deterrent force to every state involved in a certain sense.

Those big families that have been passed down for 100 years or 200 years are vulnerable to the iron fist bombardment of the Luoyang court. They found out they were wrong.

As long as the Luoyang court is still there, there is no such thing as a strong dragon not suppressing a local snake. It's just that Qianglong has too many things to consider, and he needs to consider the cost and impact of doing things.

But once you touch the bottom line of the court, let the court no longer care about the cost and impact...

Its iron fist will quickly drop from the sky, allowing you to change from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional plane, allowing you to experience what dimension reduction strike is.

This is the Han Empire, not Europe. It is too much to think about the power of a family against the power of a country.

Therefore, during the entire killing process, after those close relatives who wanted to do something for the family of the modern literary school were bombarded with iron fists, other scholars and powerful families kept silent. He watched the actions of Luo Yang's elite soldiers.

They may also have not experienced the deterrence of force from the central court for a long time, and they have never understood the super deterrent power of a military strongman, let alone lived under the leadership of a military strongman.

Therefore, they were not used to it for a while, but they were very adaptable, and they quickly got used to it, realizing that Liu Bei, a military strongman, is extraordinary.

Just as Liu Bei planned, while cleaning up the family of the modern literature school with the support of the ancient literature school in a legitimate name, it is also simultaneously increasing its own prestige and the deterrent power of the Luoyang court.

After this operation, there will be a qualitative leap in the local efficiency of the government's decrees, and this leap will lay a solid foundation for the first land saving operation.

However, before the first Tian Du operation, the convening of the Jiade Hall meeting is imminent.

The liquidation of the Jinwen School's Yue family continued until July, and all preparations for the Jiade Hall meeting were completed, and it was just waiting for Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, the master and apprentice, to announce the convening of the meeting.

When they finally got out of the liquidation operation, it was already July [-]th of the first year of Jian'an, and the Jiade Hall meeting dominated by the ancient literature school was finally about to be held.

This time the meeting of Jiade Palace was not only attended by representatives of many ancient literature schools and second-rate and third-rate families. witness.

So on July 22, when the meeting was officially held, the Guardian Hall was very lively.

Because the main core content has basically been discussed, the nature of this public meeting is similar to a press conference. Facing the representatives of the three hundred Tai students and representatives of many second- and third-rate scholar families, Liu Bei, as the host of the meeting, will All the content discussed and approved by everyone before has been published.

Unlike the Modern Literature School, which engages in prophecy and superstition activities, the core philosophy of the Ancient Literature School’s governance is the philosophy of Confucius—respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance.

It focuses on "respecting ghosts and gods" in daily life, and "respecting ghosts and gods" in the political life of the court.

Days are people's days, ghosts and gods are detached from the world, do not eat human fireworks, and do not participate in human disputes, so the decision-making of major political issues is still far away from them.

On weekdays, we offer sacrifices to them, pray for safety and blessings, appease them, live in harmony and friendship with them, and focus on making a well and not a river.

On the key issue, it is still up to people to make up their minds, and the responsibility cannot be shifted to ghosts and gods.

Representatives of the inheritance families of "Fei Shiyi" and "Zhou Guanli" successively spoke, and supported Liu Bei's opinions with their views from the family traditions of their respective families.

They think that sacrifice is the most important thing, whether it is divination or prophecy and rumors, there are more or less problems.

Even under Liu Bei's ingenious design, they also put forward some very special points of view.

For example—communication between humans and ghosts and gods is very difficult. The two sides cannot understand each other. Some opinions of ghosts and gods are often incomprehensible to humans, and forced explanations will cause disasters.

So simply don't blame ghosts and gods for making important decisions.

Ghosts and gods did not make mistakes, but people could not understand the intentions of ghosts and gods, misunderstood the meaning of ghosts and gods, and made a mistake, resulting in disastrous consequences, but instead of blaming the person who made the mistake, they blamed the ghosts and gods, which made ghosts and gods feel unhappy things.

Once ghosts and gods feel unhappy, they may send more disasters to punish the human world, and the human world will suffer more disasters because of this. Many disasters in the past may have originated from this.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, we should simply stop asking ghosts and gods about things that may make mistakes. People make up their own minds and take responsibility for themselves.

Reward for doing right, punish for doing wrong, confine the reward and punishment to the human world, don’t involve ghosts and gods, keep a distance from them, lest they offend them and suffer more disasters,

This requires the ruling team of the imperial court, the four auxiliary ministers, the generals and the three princes, to bravely shoulder their responsibilities.

In this regard, Liu Bei put forward his own eight-character mantra.

[If you want to ascend to a high position, you need to bear its weight]

Liu Bei said these eight characters, which aroused a lot of approval.
