Xuande

Chapter 100 For the big man's heart and brain, what's the point of death!

Liu Hong is obviously very satisfied with this wave of operations suggested by Liu Bei.

By changing the order of the party and enlisting the scholars of the School of Classical Classics, this time the emperor, eunuchs, and the School of Ancient Literature were successfully promoted. They also successfully promoted the rebellion of the Yuan family and the Xun family and successfully stabbed the School of Modern Literature.

After this blow, the Modern Literature School almost fell into a slump academically, unable to revive itself.

Even in politics, they lost some officials who held positions in Shangshutai, and their power was severely suppressed, which was very unfavorable to them.

As a political force, they really did the wrong thing, took the wrong path, suffered a crushing defeat, and lost their troops like a mountain.

Even Liu Hong and the eunuch group are planning to follow suit to promote the officialization of "Zhou Guanli", and by the way, depose the "Yi Li" of the Jinwen school, and beat the Jinwen school to death with one blow.

But at this moment, Liu Bei put forward a different view.

He stopped Liu Hong's actions.

"Your Majesty, although the Modern Literature School is decadent, old, and pedantic, their existence is a threat, a check and balance, and a deterrent to the Ancient Literature School.

I believe that the Jinwen School cannot be completely dismissed, otherwise, within two to three decades, the Ancient Literature School will be the present Jinwen School, and its power will be even stronger. "

Liu Hong listened to Liu Bei's suggestion, frowned, and thought for a while.

After a while, he looked at Liu Bei.

"Xuande, you have made great achievements for yourself in this sudden change. I heard that the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, has been promised the inheritance qualification of "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu". Isn't it a good thing that the faction is destroyed?"

Liu Bei shook his head and bowed again.

"I have never regarded myself as a scholar. I only regard myself as a relative of the Han family and a descendant of the great ancestor. I don't care about the noble family. As for the status of a scholar, it is only necessary for the minister to serve his majesty and serve the great man." to obtain.

With this status, I can better get in touch with the core of the scholars and make suggestions for His Majesty. As for everything that comes with it, I need it to serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty and the big man are the ones in my heart. the most important. "

Zhang Rang on the side heard the words and deeply sighed at Liu Bei's discourse art and political consciousness.

This awareness, this speech skill, this situation, Zhang Rang felt that if Liu Bei didn't have the sword below, he probably would lose his position as chief eunuch.

Liu Hong was silent for a long time when he heard the words.

Then he personally poured a glass of rice wine for Liu Bei, and handed it to Liu Bei with both hands.

Liu Bei took it with both hands.

"It is really a blessing that the Han family has descendants like you. It is also a blessing that I have a family like you. You have done a good job and said it well. We are all descendants of the Han family, descendants of the great ancestors, The surname is Liu, and the blood of the ancestors flows on the body, and there is nothing more important than this identity."

Liu Hong raised his glass, Liu Bei also raised his glass, and the two drank the wine together.

After Liu Bei's explanation of the internal relations of scholars, Liu Hong obviously has a deeper understanding of this, knowing what is most important to scholars, and also knowing the current struggle between the modern school of literature and the ancient literature school general situation.

Obviously, the ancient literature school began to become stronger politically, and although the modern literature school has been losing ground, centipedes are dead but not stiff, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Among the fourteen Schools of the Five Classics, thirteen belong to the Jinwen School, and they still have strong political power within the central court.

From the current point of view, Liu Bei believes that Liu Hong does not need to directly launch any attack on the Jinwen School itself.

He only needs to slowly raise several ancient prose classics such as "Fei Shiyi", "Gu Wen Shang Shu", "Mao Shi" and so on in the years to come, and let them compete with modern civil and official studies.

"Official Ceremony of the Zhou" must not be easily promoted, and it can even be said that "Official Zhou" needs to be temporarily frozen.

That is the life and death line of the Jinwen School. Once the official status of "Yi Li" is lost, the Jinwen School will fall into a brain-dead situation.

Now that "Gongyang Chunqiu" is lost, the Jinwen School has already paralyzed the lower body, and the remaining few ancient classics can make the Jinwen School paralyzed.

But only "Zhou Guanli" must not be easily promoted to the top, and it must also give the modern literature school a chance of survival.

It is only meaningful for the official school to fight against the official school, and if the modern literature school did not attack too hard and completely angered the ancient literature school, Liu Bei even wanted to suggest that the Gongyang Spring and Autumn School should not be dismissed.

If you keep it, you will feel more like a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

"The contention of a hundred schools of thought is not only for the openness and development of academics, but also for the checks and balances of various schools of thought and mutual dismantlement. It cannot form a unified understanding, cannot form a unified interest, and cannot allow any school to dominate.

In this way, when the ancient literature school and the modern literature school are in dispute, His Majesty can intervene in it, make a judgment, establish the reputation, and restore the authority of the three generations of emperors. Ma Rizun, but I don't know there is His Majesty. "

Under Liu Bei's suggestion, Liu Hong deeply felt that what Liu Bei said was reasonable.

He didn't want to be a fool who made wedding dresses for others.

"Xuande is right. The Modern Classics School monopolizes the fourteen doctors, so it feels like it dominates the world. I also feel a great threat. But if the Ancient Classics School catches up and replaces it, it is obviously not a good thing."

"That's what Your Majesty said."

Liu Bei complimented.

"Hahahaha, what Xuande said won my heart."

Liu Hong took Liu Bei's hand intimately, and said: "I have Xuande, like a fish in water, Xuande, although you are young now, you can't suddenly occupy a high position, but I will let Zhang Rang find you from time to time, and have private conversations with you." You have to contact me alone, you have to tell me everything, give me advice, and help me."

"The minister is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and his heart is only for the big man. If he is a big man, he will die!"

Liu Bei prostrated himself on the ground on the spot and loudly expressed his loyalty to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong smiled even happier, and rewarded Liu Bei with 200 taels of gold with a wave of his hand, asking him to take it home and put it in the bottom of the box to increase the family's reserves. In the future, his Liu family still needs money to flourish.

Liu Bei hurriedly thanked him and accepted Liu Hong's reward.

In Liu Bei's view, Liu Hong, who grew up with eunuchs, did not have the talent to rule the world.

He may have felt the crisis of imperial power, but what he did did not change the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty's continuous decline, but boosted it.

If he could make some corrections, if the corrections worked a little bit, maybe some benign changes could take place in the ruinous future.

This is crucial to his future rationale.

After this political turmoil, Liu Bei became clearer about his unconceived route.

He believes that troubled times are not a good thing, and the extremely terrifying and long-lasting troubled times at the end of Han Dynasty are everyone's nightmare.

Troubled times can reshuffle the cards, but it is the most bloody and cruel way of shuffling the cards, and it is not friendly to the upper class, let alone ordinary people.

In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of China’s Shenzhou plummeted. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Three Kingdoms, at least half of the population, more than 3000 million people, was lost. The excessive population loss directly led to the subsequent migration of the Five Hus and the split of the Northern and Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years. Chaos.

For more than three hundred years, the sky was dark and people were not as good as dogs.

He hates troubled times, he hates troubled times.

But sometimes, a certain degree of chaos is also a good thing for the future peace and prosperity.

Liu Bei thought over and over again, and felt that he needed to treat troubled times dialectically.

First of all, he absolutely cannot accept the original version of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty. He would rather die to prevent the chaos of the end of the Han Dynasty.

The next real unification must not wait until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

But at the same time, he needs a certain degree of chaos to destroy some old things. He can't let some filthy existences just pass through this terrible level without injury and enter the next chapter of history smoothly. That's too much for them. Be gentle.

They don't deserve it.

Liu Bei is not a gentle person either.

So, this unimagined path is not easy...
