Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 267
As time passed and the forum came to an end, Wang Siyi gradually gained the upper hand, and Xue Qi gradually became overwhelmed.

"Boom!" The gong sounded.

The old gentleman on the forum cleared his throat, glanced at Wang Si, and shouted in a deep voice: "The time is up, this discussion is over."

Xue Qiping regained his composure, and replied: "Brother Chengzong is a great talent, I respect you."

Wang Si also stopped talking, bowed his hands to Xue Qi, and said: "Brother Yifu is very talented, thank you for your enlightenment today."

Seeing that the gentlemen on the altar did not talk about the outcome, Liu Chan asked in a low voice, "Yunnan, why didn't you say that Wang Chengzong won?"

Qiao Zhou looked around and replied: "Your Majesty, this is the rule set by the former Xuegong (Du Wei). There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors in the debate. I hope that all the students will not be burdened by false fame. I hope that the students participating in the forum can benefit from it." obtained."

Hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but miss Du Wei a little. The current situation in the Academy was presided over by Du Wei. Unfortunately, on the eve of the Northern Expedition, Du Wei was old and frail and died of illness in the Academy.

At the beginning of the establishment of the academy, Du Wei, deputy priest Qin Mi, and deputy priest Xu Ci appointed by the academy, have now died of illness.Now Xuegong Jijiu is succeeded by Xu Ci, with assistant Jijiu Yin Mo and Du Qiong as assistants.

The arrangement of these three people is also a lot of care, and now the deputy priest Yin Mo is basically in charge of the government.

Let’s talk about offering wine to Xu Ci first. He doesn’t have much time in the academy, because he is also serving as Grand Changqiu at the moment, and needs to manage all the officials in the Changqiu Palace where the queen lives.Originally, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the post of Da Changqiu was held by an eunuch, but Ji Han learned the lesson of the eunuch's chaotic politics in the later Han Dynasty, and the post of Da Changqiu was replaced by a literati.

Although Yin Mo, the deputy priest, was from Zitong County, Yizhou, he studied under Sima Hui, was good at ancient literature and classics, and had close contacts with scholars in Jingzhou.Therefore, he does not belong to the traditional scholars of Yizhou, but belongs to the scholars of Jingzhou. Lao Liu also asked him to teach Liu Chan's "Zuo Zhuan" before.

Du Qiong, a native of Chengdu in Shu County, a member of the Du clan in Yizhou, studied under Ren An at the same time, and has a brotherly relationship with Du Wei, and belongs to the traditional scholars of Yizhou.But he is taciturn and basically does not participate in political affairs. He shuts himself in the house all day long and studies knowledge.

In the past, among the three high-ranking officials, only one knew ancient Chinese classics, but was not the person in charge; now, among the three high-level officials, two are proficient in ancient Chinese classics, and the only one who is a scholar of modern literature still likes to hide in the house and delve into knowledge by himself.

It can be said that Liu Chan was appointed by the high-level officials of the Academy to influence the Yizhou scholars who entered the school to study ancient Chinese classics, which fits the academic philosophy of the high-level Han officials.

Even if some people have objections to this arrangement, they can't object to anything.

Thinking about it, Liu Chan couldn't help but look at Qiao Zhou.In his future plan, Qiao Zhou will serve as the altar wine for the academy in the future.

On the academic level, exert a certain influence on the Central Plains that will be recovered in the future. After all, the great Confucian scholars in Shu can be praised in the world, and Qiao Zhou will be the only person in the future.

Liu Chan watched the crowd moving towards the door, and asked, "Yunnan, are there any Longyou students coming to the academy to study?"

Qiao Zhou pondered for a while, then clasped his hands and replied: "Yes, there are many. Those who are outstanding in learning are Xin Hong, the son of Longxi Xin's family; Shangguan Jian, the son of Shangguan's family in Tianshui."

Just as Liu Chan was about to answer, Wang Si rushed over, saluted Qiao Zhou, and said respectfully, "Si has seen you, sir."

Then he looked at Liu Chan and the others, and asked, "I don't know what to call you?"

Liu Chan smiled, pointed at the people around him one by one, and said, "My surname is Liu, and the eldest in the family. This is Ge Jun, and that is Guo Jun."

"Si has met Liu Jun, Ge Jun, and Guo Jun." Wang Si answered with cupped hands.

Liu Chan looked at Wang Si's loyal face, and asked in a warm voice: "The debate on Wang Jun's kindness and trust, I deeply agree. I don't know if you want to be an official?"

Wang Si shook his head and said: "I have this idea to become an official, but at present, it is not the right time for my successor. I still have not yet completed my studies and martial arts. In the next year or so, I may become an official."

Hearing this, Liu Chan's eyes lighted up on Wang Si's eyes, and he admired him even more, saying: "Since this is the case, I won't say more. I hope that one day, you can meet at the court."

Wang Si nodded, disapproving, listening to Liu Chan's accent, mixed with Jingzhou's intonation, thinking that he, like Qiao Zhou, was a close minister of the emperor, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Liu Jun for your words."

Then he took out "Zuo Zhuan" and returned it to Qiao Zhou, saying, "Thank you sir for borrowing "Zuo Zhuan."

Then Wang Si chatted with Qiao Zhou for a few more words, and then left first.

Liu Chan turned his head to everyone, praised and said: "The talent of the king's heir, you will know it in the court in the future."

Guo Youzhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Chan to think so highly of Wang Si.

Zhuge Qiao looked at his back and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is the heir like me?"

Liu Chan pondered for a moment, and replied: "I don't know, all the prefects of Nanzhong are kind and powerful, and they have given power to rule the barbarians. No one in the country can do the strategy of ruling the barbarians with the king's heir."

After a pause, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Based on Wang Siqi's words, whether he is a person with a false name, or a person with real talents and practical learning, everything is unknown."

With Liu Chan's only historical memory, he doesn't remember that there was such a person as Wang Si in history. In the middle and late Shu Han Dynasty, he only knew people like Liu Yin, Gou Fu, and Zhang Ni, and he really didn't know if he was reclusive.

However, Wang Si, the kindness and trustworthiness discussed today is really amazing.

Qiao Zhou listened for a while, and added: "In the academy, Wang Si and Xue Qi are in the same class, and these two are the most outstanding two of their peers, but Wang Si's conduct is higher than Xue Qi's, and he often helps the poor and the poor, and is deeply loved by others. .”

"Yunnan, who are the amazing people in the academy?" Zhuge Qiao asked.

Qiao Zhou bowed his head in thought, and after a while he said: "The son of General Fu Zhonglang (Fu Xun), Fu Qian has the style of his father, and he has a good relationship with Huang Chong, the son of General Cheqi. Although these two read scriptures, they are good at discussing military affairs. He never puts down his military books, and often argues with others."

"As far as the paper is concerned, Du Zhen, the son of Du Jijiu (Du Qiong), is erudite and knowledgeable; but he is upright, but he is the first, but his father followed Meng Da to descend to Cao, and his mother remarried, lonely and helpless, good at composing poems, Literary talent."

Liu Chan was a little happy in his heart, he didn't expect that there are so many talented people in the academy.

Thinking of the poor family, Liu Chan warned: "It seems that the order is to wait for the poor students first, and the school always takes care of them. If there are idle and miscellaneous things, they can be handed over to the poor students. The school can give a little money and food in return. It is not easy to study."

"In the academy, most of the students come from noble backgrounds, and their relatives are either noble or rich; a few students come from poor backgrounds, and if they don't have the protection of the academy, they will be bullied by the rest of the students. The academy should protect the children of poor families so that they can study with peace of mind. Treat the children of poor families Those who have completed their studies, either become officials from Xiaolian, or are recommended by the Academy, the Academy should help them wholeheartedly."

Liu Chan's suggestion is to let the academy guarantee the employment of students just like the universities of later generations. The difference is that the academy only guarantees the employment of children from poor families.After all, children from poor families lack connections. After graduation, especially in the agricultural era, this shortcoming is easily magnified.

Perhaps because of his humble background, Qiao Zhou was quite touched by the emperor's suggestion, and he cupped his hands and replied, "I will discuss this matter with Yin Jijiu in detail later."

Seeing that the forum was empty, Liu Chan left the forum and wandered around the academy with everyone for a while.

It was evening, the sun was setting, and the sky was dark.

Liu Chan was about to go back to the palace, when he remembered that his attendants reported that Zhao Yun was sick and went back to Chengdu to recuperate, so he asked, "Has General Wei returned to Chengdu?"

"General Wei arrived in Chengdu last night. Zhao Qijian (Zhao Tong) asked for leave today and returned to serve General Wei." Li Gui replied.

Hearing this, Liu Chan immediately said, "Change the route and go to General Wei's Mansion."

"promise!"
