I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 272 The drunkard doesn’t care about drinking

Faced with Guo Jia's teasing, Xun Yu's expression did not change much, and he said in a calm tone: "The so-called debate has never been the point..."

"I once heard your Majesty say with emotion that the drunkard's heart is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers... I have never heard this saying, but Fengxiao thought, who is this drunkard and who lives among the mountains and rivers? ?”

Guo Jia was already smart. When he heard Xun Yu's reminder, he didn't understand. He pondered for a while and said: "The great Confucian who used the bus to conquer the land is like the bones of a horse; absorbing the conclusions of the scholars' debates to amend the government is to follow the good; today In Luoyang, all the talents have arrived. The discussion of Taixue itself is not important, what is important is the scholars who participated in it. "

The material debate in Luoyang will never subside after today's Taixue debate. The debate will continue, and the scholars who did not arrive in time after hearing the news will never be willing to remain silent.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia felt that things were not that simple. He looked at Xun Yu who still had the same demeanor and began to think.

"No, that's not right. It's not that I want to change the government according to what the opposition officials say, but I want to change the government before I adopt the officials' words!" Guo Jia's eyes became brighter and brighter, making him want to go and have a few drinks right away. Drinking wine, he looked at Xun Yu and said, although it was a question, his tone was particularly affirmative, "The war in Liangzhou should be over, right?"

Xun Yu did not answer, but asked: "Following filial piety, are you willing to become an official now?"

Guo Jiaqing knew that she had guessed correctly.

He looked at the groups of scholars around him, and there were soldiers maintaining order in the distance, which was completely different from the place where he was studying behind closed doors.

Next, I don’t know how many of these people will become officials in the court.

what is this? Throw yourself into a trap? Of course Guo Jia knew that this description was inappropriate, but he still used it.

"Of course, how can I, Guo Jia, fall behind others!" After speaking, Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, "If Wen Yu recommends me, can I take on any position?"

"How is Shangshu Lang?" Even though Guo Jia thought highly of himself, he couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that it would be good if Xun Yu could recommend him to be the county magistrate with a salary of three to four hundred dan. But the Master of the Secretariat...

Guo Jia asked: "I had known that Wen Ruo was a minister of Qiandi, but I never imagined that he would be favored like this?"

Xun Yu shook his head and explained: "It's not a favor, it's only you who are talented."

He really believed that Guo Jia, who was just in his early twenties, had this ability.

Guo Jia was moved so much that he didn't mention it, but from now on, because he didn't have enough information about the conversation between the two, he was played by Xun Yu and applauded, but he wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it.

After only thinking for a moment, Guo Jia asked, "I haven't seen Gongda before when I came to Beijing this time. I heard that he took over your position as Huangmen's Minister until now?"

Gongda is Xun You. As Xun Yu's nephew, it seems natural for him to serve as the Huangmen minister that Xun Yu once served. It's just that the junior Xun You is six years older than Xun Yu, so there is Guo Jia's little teasing hidden in this.

The 600-stone Huangmen servant is in a key place, connecting the inside and outside, and serving on the left and right. But in Xun Yu's mind, the income he gained from his position was not necessarily comparable to that of the four-hundred-stone ministers, Youcheng and Shangshulang. political experience.

But Xun Yu also understood that as long as he was still in the chancery, it would be inappropriate for Xun You to enter the important chancery again.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu's face finally changed.

However, Xun Yue, who was highly respected by Xun Yu, was already in his forties and had already been sent out to serve as the Xingyang Order under Yin's rule in Henan. It can be imagined that as one of the few former ministers of the East Palace, he has extraordinary talents. He will continue to be promoted to governor or two thousand stones, and even return to the court to become Jiuqing. As long as there are no accidents during his term, it will be a smooth road.

……

Among the imperial students, Liu Xie, who was sitting next to Liu Bian, was already eleven years old.

He quietly watched the disputes among the scholars in the house - when Bing Yuan was young, he studied in various places with Guan Ning and Hua Xin. Xu Shao knew about Bing Yuan's past and said sarcastically: "Bing Genju himself When you are young and poor, you don't speak out for the poor, but you open your eyes to the affairs of merchants. Why?"

Bing Yuan pointed at Xu Shao angrily. He was a gentleman after all, and he didn't know enough about Xu Shao's black spots, so he could only emphasize that he acted out of public motives.

But Bingyuan doesn’t understand, but someone does!

Yan Xiang was already prepared, waiting for Xu Shao to put aside the facts and accuse others of their morality.

Before Bing Yuan finished speaking, he spoke: "In the past, when you promised that your son would be a meritorious official in the county, you excluded Xu Wenxiu so that the county could not use him, and forced Xu Wenxiu to work for others to make a living. Brothers are still incompatible. What a face is standing here!”

Xu Wenxiu is Xu Jing, Xu Shao's elder brother, and Liu Bian's new minister.

The feud between the Xu Shao brothers is not a secret in Runan. It is enough that they despise their fellow brother Xu Xiang. After all, the latter has a deep friendship with the eunuchs. But Xu Jing's reputation was not inferior to Xu Shao's, so Xu Shao was criticized for this matter.

But since Xu Shao is here, how can he not be prepared for such an obvious weakness.

He immediately responded: "I don't want to use it, but it's because he avoids me."

Of course Yan Xiang was not satisfied with this answer and said: "Speaking like a eloquent!"

Immediately, someone else spoke for Xu Shao.

These are just a small part of the debate, but Liu Xie looked a little panicked.

In Liu Xie's memory, the Confucian scholars in Dongguan were all talking like spring breeze blowing on their faces, or they were talking eloquently. He had never seen such a scene - the Confucian scholars who were supposed to be gentlemen were so angry that they bared their teeth and claws, and talked to each other. Accusation.

Confucian scholars, you talk about the great righteousness and the rule of sage kings, while I talk about the changes in world affairs and the practicality of political theory; you accuse me of flattering superior officials, coveting wealth and wealth, and having no integrity, and I accuse you of being vain and vain.

Seeing that the two sides are about to break up, they will soon move from simple personal attacks to the most primitive way of convincing people with force.

Liu Xie quietly tugged on Liu Bian's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, are they really not going to fight?"

Liu Bian nodded: "I'm still here, so they won't go too far... right?"

Liu Bian saw that one of the Confucian scholars actually rolled up his sleeves. He really underestimated the courage of Han Confucian scholars.

With so many courtiers present, there was no need for Liu Bian to say anything. Taiwei Ma Rixi, who had been killed personally, stood up and said: "Today's discussion of Taixue is for the country and the people. All the kings are virtuous and talented, and they are here." Zang Bu's political gains and losses are all because he is concerned about the country and the people."

Liu Bian saw that both the pros and cons were tidying up their clothes that were messed up due to the debate, and then bowed to each other and apologized.

The debate became harmonious for a time.

However, it only lasted four or five minutes. As someone extended the method of losing weight to the salt and iron monopoly, the scene became more intense again, even more intense than before.

For a time, Liu Bian's ears were filled with voices of competing with the people for profit.
