Xuande

Chapter 92 Let go of the ram and set up the Zuo clan!
Compared with the aging modern literature school, the ancient literature school is completely different in style today.

The failures one after another made the old guys of the Jinwen Confucianism school lose face. In order to save their respect, some old guys who usually don't come out very much voluntarily left to participate in the debate.

They dare not trouble the juniors.

Because it doesn't make much sense.

If you win, you won't fight, if you lose, you will die directly.

And when they saw Liu Bei, who was powerful in combat and directly supernatural, they were also trembling in their hearts, feeling that if they really wanted to debate, they might not be his opponent.

When it comes to political struggles, they still have their own way. They are experts in all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, full of bad things, and turning black and white to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But when it comes to academics, they really can't do it.

They don't know how long they have been obsessed with power and neglected academics.

So they can only go to middle-aged scholars like Lu Zhi and Fuqian who have been famous for a long time, trying to get some ground from them.

However, although Lu Zhi Fuqian and the others were not as angry and not as strong as Liu Bei, they were more stable than others, and fought back and forth with these old guys without leaking any water.

After days of debate, they were unable to win, and they were criticized by Lu Zhi, Fu Qian and others.

Lost face.

Even though the bosses were all gone, they still couldn't win, and the weakness of the Modern Literature School was completely exposed to the eyes of the world.

As a result, the large-scale ancient Chinese classics school exploded completely and could not be suppressed completely.

Amidst the turbulent wave of counterattacks by the ancient Wenjing school against the Jinwen Jing school, Yuan and Xun, who took the initiative to stay out of the matter, seemed quite calm, and they did not intend to fall into the quagmire of the Jinwen school.

At the end of September in the fifth year of Guanghe, when the Jinwen Confucian School had suffered a complete defeat in the battlefield of public opinion, Yuan Kai met with Xun Shuang, an important figure of the Xun family who came from Chang'an and secretly entered Beijing.

Although the Xun family also has the family inheritance of Jinwen Confucianism, Xun Shuang himself has seen through a certain trend and followed the trend of the times, and has already begun to study ancient Chinese Confucianism.

Like the Yuan family, the Xun family is also a family with a relatively flexible moral and political bottom line. The wife of Xun Yu, an important child of the new generation of the family, is the daughter of Tang Heng, the official servant of Zhongchang. This is quite related to the Yuan family and the eunuch. resemblance.

Before Xun Shuang was implicated by the scourge of the party, he had to live in seclusion to avoid chaos. He hid in Chang'an and lived in seclusion for a long time.

But this time the incident was so big, as the most influential person in the Xun family, he couldn't stay out of it.

So he went to Beijing secretly, met with several of his brothers, and was appointed plenipotentiary by the brothers to meet with the Xun family of Yingchuan and Yuan Kai, the representative of the Yuan family of Runan. The two families were going to discuss some key matters.

On the day of the meeting, the news that Liu Bei once again defeated the siege of six people at Yuan Shao's banquet spread throughout Luoyang City. Shuang quickly learned.

"It's good to be young. At the age of 21, it's the time when you are in high spirits. With such talent, one person can challenge six or nine people and still win a complete victory. It's amazing. It's no wonder that Lu Ziqian even fights. Take it with you and teach it carefully, and lead it as a closed disciple."

Xun Shuang picked up a glass of rice wine, drank a little, then put down the glass, and said with a smile: "Looking back at the time when I was not so high-spirited, when I think about it carefully, I'm really a little jealous... I still can't get enough of self-cultivation. "

Yuan Kai shook his head.

"Although Liu Xuande is talented, he shows his sharpness. It's not a good thing if he doesn't know how to hide his strength and bide his time."

Xun Shuang looked at him with a smile, and said, "Isn't it really a good thing?"

"……………………"

Yuan Kai was silent for a while, and then said, "In most cases, it's not a good thing."

"now what?"

"Just say what Jun Xun wants to say..."

Yuan Kui sighed: "The matter has come to this point, is there anything we can't talk about between you and me?"

Xun Shuang agreed with Yuan Kai's words and nodded.

"That's true. Although my father had expected that the study of Jinwen Confucian classics would be cumbersome and the study of divination and weft would not be a good thing. Sooner or later it would lead to disaster, but he didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Today's behavior cannot be judged by common sense."

Yuan Kui shook his head and said, "What the eunuchs did was, to a large extent, the consent of the emperor, and even the emperor may not have personally participated in the planning. Isn't that why we are passive everywhere? Today's scholars of ancient literature and classics are mobilizing. Our generation is retreating steadily, losing all face..."

"It's not just a loss of face, it's just stupid to the extreme!"

Xun Shuang swept the smile on his face, his face was full of sternness, and he said, "We only focus on the immediate interests, and don't see the long-term. We blindly suppress the ancient Chinese classics school without giving any room for relaxation, forcing them to completely reconcile with the emperor. There are eunuchs standing together!
Both the emperor and the eunuch knew that they needed helpers, but they didn't!You think you are strong, you think your power cannot be shared, and you turn your friends over to your enemies. You are looking for death!Maybe it will cause us to die together!How unreasonable! "

Yuan Kui was not surprised by Xun Shuang's sudden change of face.

Among the eight dragons of the Xun family, in Yuan Wei's opinion, only Xun Shuang can really be called a dragon.

Most of his other seven brothers are mediocre, well-behaved Confucian scholars, but they can ascend to heaven only because of [God King] Xun Shu's awesome father and Xun Shuang's excellent brother.

This is also the reason why he is willing to meet and chat with Xun Shuang.

A family that doesn't know how to adapt is not necessary for cooperation, but the Yingchuan Xun family has a certain ability to adapt and is not rigid.

"What Xun Jun said is very true. From the very beginning, I did not agree to continue to suppress the school of ancient literature. Times have changed. People who study ancient literature and classics are everywhere. There are so many people, how to deal with it? I don't want to win over, but I still want to suppress it. Short-sighted How short-sighted!"

Yuan Kai shook his head and sighed for a while, then looked at Xun Shuang, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this point, I think the situation is irreversible, has Mr Xun noticed that from last month to now, today the eunuch and the eunuch are inexplicably quiet, Nothing was done, nothing was said."

"I noticed, but this is the scariest thing, who knows what they are thinking?"

Xun Shuang said in a low voice: "The current general trend is that the party barrier against us remains, and the party barrier against the ancient literature school has been lifted. In two or three years, they will be able to enter the house and gain power. At that time, it will be difficult for us. Although the power Okay, but it’s easy to become a passing cloud.”

"So, what clever plan does Mr. Xun have?"

"Yuan Jun asked me about my clever plan, I'm afraid I have a clever plan myself?"

Xun Shuang stared at Yuan Kai.

Yuan Kai pursed his lips, smiled, then handed over a pen and a bamboo slip, and said, "How about we write down our strategies together and exchange them?"

"Very good."

Xun Shuang smiled instantly and agreed to Yuan Kai's suggestion.

The two wrote for a while, and then exchanged with each other.

Just looking at it, the two of them laughed in agreement, looked up and looked at each other, and laughed.

"As expected of Mr. Xun!"

"Yuan Jun is the same, I can only say that our thoughts are quite consistent."

"So, do that?"

"Just do it!"

The two clapped their hands three times as a promise.

Therefore, on the first day of October in the fifth year of Guanghe, when the dispute between modern and ancient Chinese was intensifying, the new Situ, the spokesperson of the Yuan family, Yuan Kai, and the imprisoned party member, Xun Shuang, the spokesperson of the Xun family, made a public statement to Emperor Liu Hong.

On the grounds that "Gongyang Chunqiu" was out of date, they asked Emperor Liu Hong to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu, dismiss Gongyang, and establish "Zuoshi Chunqiu" as the only officially recognized Spring and Autumn Classics to represent orthodox academics, with a doctorate.
