Great Han Empire

Chapter 546 Immediately Crossing the Gun
Memorials from various prefectures in northern Xinjiang were sent to Luoyang one after another.

Tian Yu, the prefect of Hanbei County, presented the governance strategy; Tang Fang, the captain of Tuntian, and Zhao Jian (jian), the captain of Diannong, reported the matter of garrisoning the fields; The tax collection and storage of the counties and the state relief situation, Zhu Mu, the head of the general's mansion, Yunzhong Xingyuan, reported the defense situation of the fortresses in the border counties, and General Fenwei reported the latest battle in the desert, and begged the emperor to reward the leader of the wild wolf tribe You Qi is the king, and so on, the emperor issued an edict to approve and reward them one by one.

General Fenwei Xian Yufu made another proposal, proposing to implement the imperial censor system in northern Xinjiang, establish the Northern Xinjiang censor office, and recommended Chen Hao, the school lieutenant, as the northern Xinjiang censor.

Xiangguo Dong Zhuo urgently summoned Xu Jing, the imperial censor, Sima Fang, the imperial censor, and the law enforcement (in charge of impeachment), and the imperial censor in the palace, to discuss matters in the Xiangguo's mansion.After reading Xian Yufu's memorial, several Yushitai officials almost expressed their opposition with one voice.The imperial censorship system had been abolished as early as Emperor Xiaowu's reign, and now the re-establishment not only conflicts with the authority of the governor of Bingzhou, but also seriously violates the law. What is especially intolerable is that all the censors of the Han Dynasty are directly subordinate to the imperial censors. Shi Tai, obeying the emperor's orders, how can he be restrained by the general's mansion at the same time?Who will supervise the chariot general?
At the beginning, Dong Zhuo asked each other with a smile on his face, and persuaded them with good words, saying that the situation in northern Xinjiang is special, so it can be considered separately. As long as the censor and supervisory system conforms to the purpose of the Han law and is conducive to the stability and development of northern Xinjiang, it may not be impossible to modify the ancestral system and rebuild it. But the officials of Yushitai clinging to the ancestral system, Dong Zhuo gradually became impatient, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"I'm in charge of this matter. I agree to build another censor in northern Xinjiang. You go back immediately and draw up a memorial for me, and I will present it to the emperor tomorrow." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said nothing more.

The censor Xu Jing lowered his face at that time, "Since Mr. Xiangguo took charge of state affairs, the laws of the Han Dynasty have been useless, and the system of the ancestors has been trampled beyond recognition. Mr. Xiangguo first established Da Sima, then established Xiangguo, and then Changing the official school that has lasted for more than 300 years, why do adults care about the little censors? Lord Xiangguo can do whatever he wants."

Sima Fang hastily flirted with Xu Jing, signaling him not to provoke Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo glared at Xu Jing, and said nonchalantly, "My lord has any opinion on me?" Xu Jing snorted coldly, bowed his head and remained silent.

Dong Zhuo looked at Sima Fang, and asked, "Master Sima, can you tell me? Is the Yushitai having such a big opinion on the truth because of the imperial court's intention to set up a doctor of ancient texts or because of the northern border supervision of Yushi?"

===

Sima Fang is about 40 years old, tall and thin, with a resolute square face, a pair of shrewd and cautious eyes, and his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant.

"My lord, there are pros and cons to the establishment of the Imperial Censor in Northern Xinjiang. The purpose of the Cheqi General is nothing more than to better control the officials of the northern Xinjiang and reduce restrictions, but this will also increase the power of the Cheqi General , so Yushitai believes that it can be built, but it will have a ten-year period. Ten years later, General Cheqi will return the northern military administration to the court, and the supervisory history will also be revoked." Sima Fang twisted his long beard. , said slowly, "We do have opinions on the establishment of a doctor of ancient texts. Yushitai is in charge of the law and inspects all officials. There are some things that we know, but adults may not be clear. I don't know if adults are interested. ..."

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Nowadays there are many famous scholars in ancient literature and classics. There are Ban Gu, Chen Zong, Yin Min, and Du Fu before them, and Zheng Xuan, Ma Rixun, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Xun Shuang later. They are not much worse than the famous scholars and scholars of modern literature , There are also many people who study ancient texts, why can't Taixue teach ancient texts? Why can't Taixue establish a doctor of ancient texts?"

Sima Fang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and asked, "Your Excellency must know about Zhang Heng in Nanyang, but do you know about the world-famous memorabilia written by Your Excellency Zhang Heng?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head in doubt, and said very humbly, "Please enlighten me, Duke Jiang."

Sima Fang and Xu Jing looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm on their faces.Dong Zhuo didn't care, and listened intently.

"Master Zhang's memorandum is called "Please Ban Books of Prophecy", and it is a plea to the emperor to ban all books of prophecy (chen)." Sima Fang said slowly.Dong Zhuo's expression changed instantly.

Sima Fang went on to say that Mr. Zhang said, "It is advisable to collect pictures and prophecies. Once they are banned, the nobles will be dazzled and the classics will be flawless." He believes that these 81 prophecies are the source of disaster for the country.

("Seven Jingwei", "The Analects of Confucius", "Hetu", "Luoshu" and so on are collectively called "Prophecy", with a total of 81 articles. Prophecy is God's prophecy, and prophecy is a kind of book that predicts good and bad. Luoshu also. Wei is a tributary of the classics, derived from the meaning of the scriptures, and the book of Wei is based on the scriptures, which is a combination of theological superstition, yin and yang and five elements theory and the scriptures. The science of prophecy and weft was first introduced by Dong Zhongshu and Liu Xiang righteous.)
"Why did Mr. Zhang risk his beheading to say such shocking words?" Sima Fang thought for a while, and then said, "This involves official studies, and it involves Jinwen Confucianism."

===

Chenwei is respected as the secret scriptures, and the secret scriptures of Confucius, made by Han Chi, called internal learning, is the heart of Confucius, the essence of Confucianism, and has authentic authority.When it came to Emperor Guangwu, he even announced it to the world with pictures and prophecies. Under his strong advocacy, many Confucian scholars rushed to follow, talked about weihou, and made lies and pictures of prophecies. ", internal and external art, inexhaustible and comprehensive", this has become the common fashion and characteristics of Confucian scholars in this dynasty, especially Jinwen Confucian scholars, especially Jinwen Confucian scholars represented by "Gongyang" studies in this respect. most notably.

In the fourth year of the founding of Emperor Xiaozhang (AD 79), the emperor ordered Taichang, generals, doctors, doctors, Yilang, Langguan and other Confucian scholars to meet at Baihu Temple, lecture on the similarities and differences of the Five Classics, and quote prophecies to explain the scriptures .Later, Ban Gu, the official historian, was ordered to compile a collection of the events, which became "Baihu Tongyi". "Baihu Tongyi" is mainly based on modern classics, but it also adopts ancient scriptures, and a large number of them are quoted from prophecy. "Baihu Tongyi" is a book of Confucian classics appointed by the emperor. Confucian scholars in this dynasty must learn the classics. For latitude, the prophecy and latitude are usually quoted first, and then the scriptures are quoted.Prophecy has become the source of determining state affairs.All differences in scriptures, even the country's rites and music system, and conquest wars must be decided by prophecy, and prophecy decides all disputes and indecision.

The study of prophecy and weft flourished for a while, and it has not declined up to now.

The attitude of Confucian scholars in this dynasty towards Chenwei and the level of mastering the knowledge of Chenwei have long become the criteria for whether Confucian scholars are loyal to the emperor and the court, and support the national policy of the Han Dynasty, and have become the level of intelligence and academic level of Confucian scholars. The standard of judgment has become the decisive factor for whether Confucian scholars will be promoted to rank or be demoted.In the past, two important ministers, Huan Tan and Yin Min, were demoted by Emperor Guangwu because they opposed Chenwei.The theory of divination and weft has a great influence on the great man, and it has unparalleled power.

Jinwen Confucianism and Chenwei have almost merged into one. All the masters and scholars of Jinwen Confucianism are masters of Divination. However, ancient Chinese Confucianism focuses on the exegesis of chapters and sentences, interpreting the meaning of classics and history, and rejects Chenwei in essence. vehement criticism and denunciation.Although Ma Rong, Cai Yong, Xu Shao, Xun Shuang, Lu Zhi and other giants of ancient classics and literature also studied Jinwen Confucianism and were proficient in both ancient and modern classics, they were still unanimously excluded and attacked by Jinwen Confucian scholars.

===

Mr. Zhang Heng is a scholar of ancient texts and classics. He believes that the theory of prophecy has caused immeasurable harm to the great man. If things go on like this, it will definitely shake the country and society.He said that Wang Mang and Gongsun Shu used prophecy to harm the country, causing the country to be devastated.He also said that whenever the country suffers from disasters and wars, the emperor and ministers do not first consider how to solve the crisis and protect the country and the people, but deceive the people with the words of prophecy, deceive themselves and others, and finally lead to the intensification of disasters and the decline of the country.He especially hated the fact that the Han army did not train its armaments to actively fight, but used prophecy and yarrow to predict the outcome of the battle.So he asked for the prohibition of prophecy, but his end was the same as Huan Tan and Yin Min in the past, and he was convicted and demoted.

Under the circumstances that Jinwen Confucianism is an official school and the main body of Han academics, Zhang Heng is alone, so it is natural for him to be hit.

"Is the real situation the same as Master Zhang Heng said? Is it because he is a scholar of ancient texts and classics, and because of the struggle between ancient and modern texts, he wrote to the emperor to ban the prophecy?" Sima Fang shook his head and sighed, "In fact, Zhang Heng What your lord said is correct, but why do I, the law of the Han Dynasty, and the emperors of all dynasties insist on using Jinwen Confucianism as the official school?"

===

"When Wang Mang was in chaos, he ordered the recruitment of people who were proficient in astronomy, map prophecies, clock laws, moon orders, and the art of war, and made a large number of map prophecies for them. , Said that he was ordered to replace the Han Dynasty, deceive the people and endanger the country, does your lord still remember this?" Sima Fang asked.

Dong Zhuo nodded, as if realizing something.

Wang Mang used prophecy to disrupt the country, and Emperor Guangwu won the country because of prophecy.Emperor Guangwu met the situation and raised troops to compete in the world. He borrowed the prophecy of "Hetu Chi Fu Fu". Later, Emperor Guangwu obeyed God's will and successfully rejuvenated the great Han.At that time, the ambitious Gongsun Shu also wanted to forge a prophecy to win the country. He used the prophecy to deceive the people of the world, saying that he was the emperor who succeeded the Han Dynasty.At this time, prophecy became a sharp weapon for those with ulterior motives to compete for power and seize the world.

After Emperor Guangwu ruled the world, he learned from the pain and immediately announced the map of prophecy to the world, and officially published 81 pieces of map prophecy as the final version. Disturb the country and even threaten the stability of the country.Afterwards, anyone who found out that they were making prophecies would be punished severely for the crime of "rebellion and immorality".During the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, Liu Ying, the king of Chu, accidentally made a prophecy, and as a result, he was forced to commit suicide because of the fact that he was "rebellious and immoral", and more than 1000 people died.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous." Sima Fang smiled wryly, "In the ant thief rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao used the prophecy to deceive the people and mobilized millions of soldiers to rebel. , As a result, it is difficult for me, a big man, to recover my vitality. The worries of Emperor Guangwu are not born out of thin air."

Sima Fang let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed and said: "My lord, the combination of Jinwen Confucianism and Prophecy is perfect. I, the great Han and Wanmin, teach this Confucianism. I should be loyal to the country and not have two hearts. Confucian classics and ancient Chinese classics are listed side by side in official schools, and the status of Jinwen classics will inevitably decline. If Jinwen classics loses its respected status, the study of prophecy will be rejected and trampled, and the 81 pictures of prophecies will lose their authority. Since then, prophecy has spread everywhere , as long as those with ulterior motives take advantage of it a little, the big man will surely fall into chaos, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"My lord, Jinwen Confucianism is the foundation of a country. It is related to the safety of the great Han society. It must not be loosened in the slightest. This is the reason why Huan Tan, Yin Min, and Zhang Heng were not reused by the court, and were even demoted. I beg your lord to think twice."

===

Dong Zhuo returned to the study with a heavy heart.Jia Xu and Tian Yi came to meet in a hurry.

Dong Zhuo explained Xu Jing, Sima Fang and other censors in detail about the dismissal of the establishment of a doctor of ancient texts. Will it ruin the entire Han society? Now that the government and the opposition are evenly opposed and approved, I am at a loss. Tell me, how to solve this matter?"

Jia Xu and Tian Yi both looked worried and remained silent.

"My lord, what do the Tai Tuo, Situ and Sikong say about the increase in taxes? Do you still disagree?" Jia Xu asked in a low voice.

"They didn't agree. In the morning, several of us fought in front of His Majesty. I wished I could kill them with a sword." Dong Zhuo said angrily, "I've already become a prime minister. Look at me, right? Let me look at me." It’s not as good as a prefect. What the prefect says in his own territory is nothing, but what about me? What I say is nothing, it’s just a decoration.”

Dong Zhuo lay down on the mat in extreme dejection, looked at the roof, and said exhaustedly: "The clans, disciples, old officials, there are tens of thousands of them, and their roots are intertwined. One hair can affect the whole body. They are not one tree. Big trees, but spiders and cobwebs, even if we tear up the cobwebs, the spiders are still there, and after a while it will form a big web again. Kill, how many can I kill? I can kill ten big men Three states? How many people belong to me above the imperial court, among the states and counties? I quit. Let’s go back to Guanzhong and Xijiang. Like a leopard, I will also be a man of my word The subordinates are all old subordinates like you, everyone has food, drink and women, at least they don’t have to make decorations for others like they do now, and they will be angry every day, and they may be a big laughing stock in the world in the future.”

Dong Zhuo sat up again abruptly, punched the desk table, and cursed bitterly, "That old fox Yuan Kai has become a genius. Back then, I couldn't take care of myself. After the abolition of the emperor, I focused on rectifying the Northern Army, but in the end I was cheated by him." Kongzi, all the Beijing officials who went out to work were all his people. Later, it was an expedition to the desert, and it was a matter of suing orders, one after another. There are only a few of you trustworthy people in a group of warriors, you are all gone, and I don’t even have anyone to discuss things in the capital, so I will be even more lonely.”

"Now that the taxes are in their hands, these state and county officials can't be changed, and they can't be changed. The whole thing is a dead game. If the tax is forcibly increased, the consequences are unpredictable. If these people are pushed into a hurry, they simply come here. If we cooperate with the outside and send troops like leopards to intimidate Luoyang, then we will be finished, and we will really go back to Guanzhong."

"The big man is not in power now, nor is it Your Majesty, but Yuan Wei and those powerful families." Dong Zhuo lamented, "It's Li Wei who is the most powerful kid, and ordered his wife to arrest the guards. Well done, Otherwise, Beijiang will soon become the world of the guards, and then the northern border will not be decided by the leopards, but by the master of the guards."

He looked at Jia Xu and Tian Yi who were looking down, and patted the table lightly, "Wen He, your idea is not good. I did it as a prime minister, but I still praise you for not being famous, and you don't want to enter the court. Doesn’t it look like a lot of face? But this face is uncomfortable, it’s a piece of iron..." He patted his face hard, and said sadly, "Your Majesty wants money for the New Year, the soldiers of the Northern Army want money for the New Year, and the victims also want money." You want money to celebrate the New Year, and you also want money to celebrate the New Year. Where does the money come from? I am a big man Xiangguo. If I let everyone go hungry and empty-handed for the New Year, will I still do it? Don’t say you scold me. I'm afraid the Hu tribe's iron cavalry will demolish my Xiangguo Mansion."

"What should we do now? Is it like what Li Wei said, to ransack the house? If I order you to take people to search the house, I will be finished. Don't talk about the famous officials of the big man. I am a traitor who will bring disaster to the country and the people. I am the biggest traitor of the big man. Are you willing to be the accomplices of rebellious officials and thieves? Are you willing to accompany me to kill the nine clans and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?"

Jia Xu and Tian Yi were sweating on their backs, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to apologize.

"My lord, please calm down. This matter is not yet at an impasse." Jia Xu persuaded, "As long as the General Cheqi withdraws, we will have enough time and energy to deal with the immediate crisis. If Mr. Xiangguo has the General Cheqi as a backup Why can't you worry about gaining a foothold in Luoyang? Although Mr. Xiangguo has no foundation in Luoyang, the foundation has gradually been laid down over time. For a year or two, the elites in Beijing are still in the palm of your hand?"

"Get up... get up..." After Dong Zhuo vented, his depressed mood improved a lot. The emperor was replaced by us, but who is the last one standing? It is the scholar, the warrior, the family leader, me and the leopard. You are right, with me and the leopard in the big man, it is not the turn of these scholars People show off their power."

"Who is your lord going to send north to reward the army?" Li Ru's voice came from outside the door, and then Li Ru's emaciated body appeared beside the door.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Changsheng wants to visit the desert?"

Li Ru walked into the study, bowed and said, "Luoyang is in crisis now. If you want to get through the difficulties, you can only go north to ask for help. I am willing to share your worries."

"Whether Luoyang is stable or not is directly related to the safety of Dahan Sheji and northern Xinjiang, so General Cheqi will never sit idly by." Jia Xu stood up and said, "Using General Cheqi as backup is currently the only way to solve the crisis. Method."

===

"Far waters can't save the near thirsty, let's deal with tomorrow's matter first." Dong Zhuo said, "Can this doctor of ancient texts be set up? If it doesn't matter to the overall situation, I will ask the emperor to forcefully issue an order. I fulfilled Yuan Kai's wish, Let's see what else he can do? I don't believe he dares to put the safety of the great Han society at risk."

"It can't be established now." Jia Xu said, "Master Sima, the censor and censor, is right, and this matter cannot be moved easily. Master Taifu suddenly proposed to establish a doctor of ancient texts. The purpose is not to let you fall into the vortex of disputes among scholars. , paralyzed state affairs, and finally forced the adults to take the blame and resign."

Dong Zhuo said in disbelief: "Sima Fang said that the establishment of a doctor of ancient texts may cause chaos in the world, and what you said is even more mysterious. Is a doctor of ancient texts worthy of such quarrels between the ministers of the court and the central government? ?”

Jia Xu said: "My lord, this is not just a matter of setting up a doctorate, but an academic matter, an issue of official career and wealth, and even more a matter of power struggle among aristocratic families."

Dong Zhuo was dizzy and stopped talking, let's listen to Jia Xu's explanation.

===

After Emperor Xiaowu respected Confucianism exclusively, he took Dong Zhongshu's "Chunqiu Gongyang Biography" as the highest legal code, regarded it as sacred, and did not allow doubts, and proposed that "the sky does not change, and the Tao does not change." 'Confucian scholars should continue to interpret Confucian classics over time, and then appeared and formed "Classics".The divination of Confucian classics led to the emergence of "Hu Liang" and the dispute between modern and ancient Chinese.In the early years, the prominent figure in the debate between modern and ancient Chinese classics was Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong regarded Confucianism as the knowledge of being a human being. He believed that the spirit of Confucianism should be able to treat others and oneself with a normal heart.

In the third year of Heping, Emperor Xiaocheng, Guanglu doctor Liu Xiang, his son Liu Xin and others were ordered to edit the imperial books and sort out the ancient books of the pre-Qin period. It took 20 years to complete "Qi Lue". At the same time, Liu Xin edited many fragments of ancient texts. He believed that ancient texts were more reliable than modern texts, so he proposed to make ancient texts an academic officer, but was demoted.Liu Xin ignored many problems. First, there were too many people who made a living by learning Confucian classics in this dynasty. Once the court made ancient Chinese Confucian classics an official school, there would be even more people who lived on Confucian classics. Second, the ancient texts have not been fully sorted out, and not many people study them. The ancient texts are the Six Kingdoms script before Li Si of the Great Qin State unified Xiaozhuan. Not for academics, but for governing the country. Jinwen Jingxue uses "Yu Gong" to govern the Yellow River, "Hong Fan" to detect changes in the sky, "Chunqiu" to judge cases, and "Poems Three Hundred" as a book of advice. Jinwen Jingxue In the early days, it had a huge role in promoting the development of the Han Dynasty, but the classics and classics were far from being able to do this.Although Liu Xin's proposal was not approved, the ancient texts he collated spread out.

Since then, some Confucian scholars who believed in the ancient scriptures began to sort out and teach the ancient scriptures among the people, and interpret the ancient scriptures, such as Jia Kui's "Spring and Autumn Zuo Shi Zhuan Jiegu", "Guoyu Jiegu", Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" , Ma Rong annotated the "Book of Changes", "Shangshu" and other ancient texts, which made the ancient texts gradually mature.The study of ancient Chinese classics pays attention to academic textual research and textual research, exegetical chapters and sentences, and especially pays attention to the excavation of the patriarchal clan and ritual and music culture belonging to the Zhou Dynasty in the classics, and it is precisely this point that has become the focus of the debate between modern and ancient Chinese classics.

The classics of ancient texts takes "Zhou Li" as the main subject, while the classics of modern texts takes "Book of Rites King System" as the main subject, so "Zhou Li" has become the focus of the debate between the two schools. The transmission of "Zhou Li" is unclear, and it has been repeatedly questioned by scholars of modern scriptures. For example, He Xiu, a scholar, denounced it as "a book of conspiracies of the six kingdoms", while Liu Xin, Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan and other ancient scriptures scholars praised it. "The Code of Duke Zhou".

The book "Zhou Li" is big in body and thoughtful in thought, with all-encompassing academic and therapeutic techniques.Scholars of ancient texts and classics believe that "Zhou Li" comes from the Duke of Zhou, and the book contains a complete official system and rich ways of governing the country. "Zhou Li" adopts the policy of integrating Confucianism and Legalism, and morality as the mainstay of punishment for officials and common people, and this is exactly what the current Han Dynasty needs.

====
"Do you understand now, my lord?" Jia Xu asked, "The debate between modern and ancient Wen Jingxue is not a dispute about academics, but a debate about the strategy of governing the country. Jinwen Jingxue advocates the sole respect of Confucianism and governing the country with virtue, while Guwen Jingxue advocates Confucianism and Legalism There is a world of difference between the two in governing the country."

"Due to the repeated failure of the imperial line in this dynasty, the fall of imperial power, and the intertwined power of foreign relatives, traitors, and clans and scholars, the clans and clans have risen day by day, and today they have finally become a decisive force in determining the fate of the great man. In their eyes, the realization of Confucian ideals and The wealth and power of the clan and family complement each other, and the interests of the powerful and noble clan are far greater than the interests of the Han Dynasty. Morality, fame, ambition and erudition have become the basis for their survival. My lord, look at the current conquest and Who is finally selected by the system of procuratorate to govern the country? Is there an adult? Is there me?" Jia Xu shook his head sadly, "It is Yang Biao of the Yang Clan, Yuan Kai of the Yuan Clan, the Horse Clan, Zhang Clan, Xu Clan... have nothing to do with us, we are nothing more than a county official for the rest of our lives, and governing the country is just a dream of ours."

"Why did the disaster of party imprisonment happen?" Jia Xu looked at Li Ru, who was looking lonely, and shook his head, "To put it bluntly, it's just a power struggle between the imperial power in Luoyang and the local aristocrats. A battle for wealth."

Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu and kept stroking his beard.He still doesn't get it.

"There are fourteen doctors of modern classics in Taixue, and it doesn't matter if there is a doctor of ancient texts, but once the study of ancient texts is open to the public, the number of scholars who study ancient texts will increase, and it is inevitable that there will be strategies for governing the country. This situation cannot be tolerated by the emperor or the bureaucrats who have learned the classics and classics. Who wants to lose power and wealth in vain?"

"When Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Great Han Dynasty, he needed a large number of scholars to help him govern the country. Due to the situation, Emperor Guangwu set up a doctor named "Zuoshi Chunqiu". Against it, Dr. "Zuo Shi Chunqiu" was abolished soon. In the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, because more and more celebrities and ministers studied ancient Chinese classics, and the pressure on the court was increasing, so Emperor Xiaoming had no choice but to issue an edict to the world, The Four Classics such as "Zuo Zhuan", "Gu Liang", "Gu Wen Shang Shu" and "Mao Shi" are allowed to be taught publicly in private schools, but there is still no doctor. Emperor Xiaozhang's proposal of the White Tiger View in the first four years of his founding is the present day The first peak of the ancient prose dispute, but the ancient prose and classics are still defeated. Why? The reason is this. How many people are willing to change the policy of the Han Dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years? How many people are willing to give up the power and wealth they already have ?”

"With the continuous development of ancient Chinese classics, it has clearly gained an advantage, and it may replace Jinwen classics at any time. Now, Yuan Wei and a group of bureaucrats who study ancient Chinese classics are trying to get this opportunity."

"From Emperor Xiaozhang to the present, there have been many celebrities in ancient literature and classics, such as Huan Tan, Ban Gu, Chen Zong, Yin Min, Wang Chong, Jia Kui, Zheng Zhong, Ma Rong, Xu Shen, Zhang Heng, Liu Zhen, Li You, Huang Jing, Bian Dozens of people including Shao, Cui Shi, etc., especially today, the masters of ancient literature and classics are even more famous all over the world, such as Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, Xun Yue, Ma Ridun, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, etc., with thousands of disciples, Even modern writers such as Zhao Qi and Yang Biao have changed their study of ancient Chinese classics in the middle of the study, which is called "Gujin Tongxiu", which is actually turning the present into the ancient. With such a huge force of ancient Chinese classics, they can completely defeat and eliminate them in a short period of time. Jinwen Confucianism can quickly establish a new policy of governing the country within a period of time, so as to realize the ideal of ancient Chinese Confucian scholars to revitalize the Han society."

Dong Zhuo had fully understood at this time, and his face became ugly.Jia Xu talked for so long, but it was actually just one sentence.

"Yuan Kai wants to eliminate dissidents and regain power."

After staying in Luoyang City for more than two months, he finally fell for the trick and became Yuan Kai's swordsman.If it weren't for Jia Xu's explanation today, he thought he had all the power and had unlimited glory?Thinking of how he humiliated Yuan Kai for tax collection, he wanted to kill someone wrongly.Dong Zhuoyue became more and more enraged, and suddenly slapped the table with his palm, "I killed him."

=====

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was furious, Li Ru hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be angry about such a trivial matter. In my opinion, Wenhe has exaggerated the strength of Yuan Kai and the ancient Wen Confucianism. Anyway, the Jinwen Confucianism has a history of hundreds of years. You Look at the Yang family, the Fu family, the Du family, the Wei family, He Xiu, Shen Tufan, Wang Qian, there are too many. If Yuan Kai wants to stabilize this matter and let the doctor of ancient texts teach in the Taixue, I am afraid it will be too late. It will take a long time. So what if you say yes to him?"

Jia Xu bowed her head and remained silent.Tian Yi also echoed, and he also thought it would be better to put the tax into the treasury first, "Since Yuan Kui, a doctor of ancient Chinese scriptures, wants it, then give it to him. As long as the tax is in hand and Luoyang's crisis is over, this Luoyang is not yet an adult's decision." .”

"What about Chenwei?" Dong Zhuo asked, "How to solve what Xu Jing and Sima Fang said?"

Li Ru said embarrassingly: "It's difficult, the most difficult thing is this matter. This matter involves two schools of ancient and modern literature and classics."

"It's not difficult." Jia Xu said with a smile, "If you want Yuan Kai to be unable to succeed, then fight both of them, and simply issue an order to ban the prophecy and wei.
