I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 416 Dong Zhongshu’s admiration and Gongsun Hong’s speculation

In front of Taixue Gate.

Several sections of colorful silk are hung on the green tile wall, fluttering in the wind.

There were more than a dozen servant-like people specially arranged by the roadside. They were responsible for welcoming the guests, and they all bowed respectfully to the scribes who approached.

After one of them verified the identities of Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "You two are Dr. Gongsun and Dr. Dong. Come down, we have arranged a place for you to stay. If you have luggage, If you have left it at the inn and haven’t brought it yet, just tell me the location and room number of the inn, and I will arrange for someone to pick it up for you.”

The two of them were obviously not used to this kind of enthusiasm, and nodded in return with a slightly stiff expression.

However, they followed the servant and entered the second half of the Imperial Academy.

This caused Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu to turn their heads curiously and look at the scene inside.

You must know that when they came here to take exams before, they were all in the exam room in the front teaching area. At that time, there were many police officers responsible for security patrols. No one could run around at all, and they didn't even dare to look around.

After the exam was over, he couldn't stay in Taixue and left here directly.

Therefore, it is indeed the first time for the two of them to be able to observe this Han Dynasty's number one university with ease like now.

Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips and said with emotion, "Although it is the cold winter and there are no flowers and plants, I can imagine from the layout of this courtyard that after March, the courtyard will be ablaze with flowers and flowers.

Presumably Weixin Hou put a lot of effort into establishing and establishing this Imperial College. "

The Taixue project was officially established in the past six months.

But whether it is a quaint and heavy school building or an exquisite residence where doctors live, it all shows that the construction of Taixue is definitely not a perfunctory thing. There are people behind the scenes who are working seriously to build it like this. Complete.

The servant covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Dr. Dong guessed wrong. This land, half a year ago, no, let alone half a year ago, even four months ago, was a deserted market, and Mr. Chen From the time we got the land to building it into what it is now, it took more than three months.”

As soon as these words came out, it was Dong Zhongshu who was surprised.

He asked in surprise: "Are you saying that these houses are built from the ground and can only be completed in three months?"

"Yes, three generations of my family have lived in Chang'an and are very familiar with places large and small. How can I still deceive you, Dr. Dong?" The servant smiled heartily. Apparently Dong Zhongshu's reaction gave him something to talk about.

"How did Senior Chen do it?" Gongsun Hong next to him narrowed his eyes and asked in a curious tone.

One of them came from Xue County, Xue County, and the other came from Guangchuan County, Xindu County. They were both the ones who received the order to seek talents later, so they had a long journey. When they rushed to Chang'an to register for Taixue, their appearance had already changed. Completed, there are no traces of extensive construction.

And these days, they are studying hard in the inn and rarely go out.

They didn't hear anything about the ups and downs in Chang'an City.

"Hey, you two may not know something. Senior Chen did a big thing for this piece of land." The servant rolled his eyes, lowered his voice, and approached the two of them.

"How do you say it?" At this time, even Dong Zhongshu, who usually had no intention of gossiping, pursed his lips and asked.

The servant pretended to be mysterious and said, "Dr. Dong, you are now an official of 600 shi, and I will never dare to offend you. But what level of official do you dare not offend?"

"We are new here. We concentrate on learning and don't think about offending anyone." Gongsun Hong answered. Obviously, this question cannot be answered casually, so as not to leave a scandal to others.

"Dr. Gongsun is right. He came to Taixue to serve as a doctor because he wanted to preach and gain responsibilities, and he also quarreled with others to cause internal friction." After saying that, Dong Zhongshu nodded to Gongsun Hong. He had not thought of this level just now, and almost It was to blurt out the truth, but after receiving the reminder, he quickly thought of a way to say it.

However, the servant did not want to dig a hole and set up a trap, so after listening to the two people's answers, he continued on his own and said: "In my opinion, you two can be regarded as high-ranking officials. It's just that The person who impeached Mr. Chen for the land of Taixue is a real nobleman.

Just three or four months ago, Senior Chen wrote a letter listing several crimes against Da Nong Ling. You must know that Da Nong Ling is one of the Nine Qings, and..."

What he said was about Chen Luo's impeachment of Fan Nong Ling some time ago.

This matter was not widely spread in Chang'an.

After all, it was a high-level struggle in the court, involving many factions, and few people dared to use it as a source of conversation after dinner.

However, after listening to this content, Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong's eyes suddenly became a little more shocked.

Was the Marquis of Weixin so strong?

For the land of Taixue, I am willing to confront a powerful Ninth Prince.

If nothing else, this courage is enough to be admired.

And the more important point is that he did not go against the Fan Nong Order for personal gain or factional struggle, but because of official business and Taixue, he chose to write a letter to impeach the Fan Nong Order.

What a character. What integrity.

"Dong is relieved to have Weixin Marquis as the head of the Imperial Academy." Dong Zhongshu said solemnly, "Chen Taixue is worthy of being from the Chen family of Yangxia. With his behavior, I can see the shadow of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. "

Gongsun Hong pursed his lips and suddenly fell into silence.

The direction of his thinking is different from that of Dong Zhongshu.

What Dong Zhongshu saw was the spirit in Chen Luo's behavior.

Relying on his attitude of being willing to bend rather than bend, he wrested the land for Imperial College from a Jiu Qing.

But Gongsun Hong was very sophisticated, and if he thought about it carefully, no matter who he was, Da Nong Ling was one of the Nine Qings. The position of Da Nong Ling was enough to rank among the top fifteen in the Han bureaucracy.

With such a noble status and lofty status, you can simply defeat him with just your passion?

I'm afraid there are many stories behind it that outsiders can't understand.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Hong bit the tip of his tongue and controlled his expression to remain calm.

The leader of the Imperial Academy above me is probably very capable.

Now he only occupies an official position of less than two thousand stones. There are probably more than 300 officials with the same salary in the entire Han Dynasty. But just in this position, he defeated a great peasant order who was ranked among the top fifteen in the Han Dynasty.

No matter what time period it is, this is quite an explosive situation.

Moreover, Gongsun Hong could surmise from this that His Majesty valued Senior Chen even more than a Jiu Qing.

After all, when there is a fierce struggle in the court, most emperors will first consider maintaining stability, especially if one party is Jiuqing and the other party is just an official who is more than two thousand dan. It is okay to choose to punish the official who is more than 2,000 dan instead of causing bias. That's fair.

Unexpectedly, the current emperor chose to punish Da Nong and allocated this land to the Imperial Academy.

There is no doubt that Chen Luo is a big winner.

It is self-evident that Liu Che attaches great importance to Weixin Hou.

When Gongsun Hong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel awe of Chen Luo in his heart.

Now he is just an official worth two thousand dan, but his weight in His Majesty's heart exceeds that of some of the nine ministers. He has a bright future. As long as he doesn't die young or make a big mistake, he will definitely be able to sit on the position of prime minister.

If you are in the hands of such a ruthless person, you have to be more honest, otherwise you may never be able to turn over.

The vague intention to cause trouble that Gongsun Hong had before entering Taixue was completely dissipated in an instant.

From now on, under Senior Chen's seat, I can shoot wherever I want.

Of course, his thinking was generally correct, but the lack of certain details made Gongsun Hong's deduction slightly biased.

First of all, Chen Luo wrote a letter to impeach Fan Nong Ling. He did not do it alone. Instead, he roped in Zhao Wan and a group of former colleagues from the Royal History Department. They relied on the tactics of a sea of ​​people and conclusive evidence to completely kill Fan Nong Ling. , not allowed to turn over.

Secondly, Liu Che did attach great importance to Chen Luo, but not to the extent that he would offend the nine ministers for Chen Luo. You must know that each of the nine ministers has the support of a certain faction in the court and has a deep power background. The reason why Liu Che issued the order to Fan Nong He was ruthless because he was hindering the development of Taixue. What was behind Taixue was Liu Che's future reform. This was Liu Che's real rebellion.

In the end, the result of Gongsun Hong's deduction was completely correct, that is, Chen Luo could not be offended. After all, Chen Luo had to deal with someone outside the Imperial Academy and needed to use various forces. If Guo Xie had not come to help this time, Fan Nong's order would have been found out. It is actually not that easy to impeach a Jiu Qing for those crimes. However, in the three-acre land of Taixue, Chen Luo had no trouble trying to get hold of the doctors or students there.

If Gongsun Hong really wanted to cause trouble, he might not be able to see all Chen Luo's methods, and he would leave miserably.

The servant led the two of them to their residence in a non-stop manner, and then left with a smile on his face.

Finally, he half-turned his head, recalling the two people's reactions on the road, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"I must have completed the task assigned to me by the Lord this time perfectly." Zhang An murmured in his heart.

You must know that what he said on the road this time was not random talk, but had been rehearsed in advance.

The purpose is to establish Chen Luo's prestige in the hearts of these Taixue doctors.

You must know that the doctors recruited by Taixue this time are all talented people from all over the Han Dynasty, and they must have pride in their hearts. If they think that Chen Luo, as the leader of Taixue, does not know how to do scholarship, then they will definitely lack some respect.

Under such circumstances, it would take a lot of time for Chen Luo to control and subdue Taixue.

Instead of slowly grinding it out in the later period, it is better to directly "show off" when these people first enter the Imperial College to establish their own prestige and convince them.
