Straight man of steel

Chapter 263 The Strange Man Dongfang Shuo

More than half a month has passed since Zhang Yuan was murdered.

Liu Che also left Dinghu Yanshou Palace and finally returned to Chang'an.

At this time, a voice finally sounded in the hall, Confucian scholars and great Confucian scholars from all over the place, headed by Dong Zhongshu and Doctor of the Five Classics, spoke to Liu Che.

It is said that in ancient times, wise emperors would definitely consider cultivating talents as the most important thing.

If Liu Che wants to completely eliminate the Xiongnu, the biggest problem is talent; if he wants to govern the world better, the biggest problem is also talent.

Talents are scarce resources at all times, but what is more scarce than talents is the cultivation and discovery of talents.

Therefore, the empire just set up a national Taixue to train talents, and set up a rural school to train talents.

If an emperor does not cultivate talents but only talks about looking for pickles, it is as if jade is expected to show a dazzling brilliance without being carved.

The highest institution for cultivating talents should be Taixue.

The Taixue in Dong Zhongshu's heart is the place where wise men gather, and it is also the fundamental place for enlightenment.

The voices of the imperial court and the people to establish Taixue became louder and louder, so Liu Che obeyed these voices and issued a decree to open Taixue.

The first decree was to recruit Zhang Yuan to the court, and Zhang Yuan set off from his home to Chang'an non-stop after receiving the decree.

Everyone knew for a long time that Liu Che wanted to establish the Imperial Academy, but the emperors had to let the people below persuade him for a while, and finally pretended to reluctantly agree.

If this matter is accomplished, then the emperor will be responsible for all the credit, and if this matter is not accomplished, then the fault will naturally be the fault of those persuading people below.

Originally, when Liu Che began to implement the foreign Confucianism and the internal law, he should start with heaven and man sensing the divine right of the king. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan's accidental creation of paper and printing made the Taixue implement it first.

Dong Zhongshu has a complete set of strategies and theories, but it needs to be developed step by step and slowly.

This time Liu Che wanted to establish the Imperial Academy, but Dong Zhongshu just wrote a letter and sent a few students to encourage everyone in Chang'an City, but he himself did not return to Chang'an City.

Before entering Chang'an City, Zhang Yuan felt a very strong atmosphere.

An endless stream of students in long robes were waiting at the gate of Chang'an City to enter the city, and some were riding horses to play nearby while the weather was not too hot.

Most of these people came to study in Taixue immediately after its establishment.

Zhang Yuan didn't think much and rushed into the city on horseback. Everyone else entering the city was subject to interrogation, but no one dared to interrogate Zhang Yuan.

Now the city guards of Weiwei's mansion are still frightened when they see Zhang Yuan, for fear of offending this plague god.

Liu Che summoned Zhang Yuan to attend the court meeting the next day, but Zhang Yuan needed to go to Jianzhang Palace again beforehand, and reported to Liu Che that he had arrived.

Riding a horse leisurely, he arrived outside Jianzhang Palace. Zhang Yuan saw nearly thousands of horses practicing there not far away, and the three words Jianzhangying were written on the banner.

I didn't even take a few glances, and went straight into the palace.

Walking all the way to the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, Zhang Yuan saw several Zhonghuang gates, and asked.

"Your Majesty called me into the palace, do the Zhonghuangmen know where His Majesty is now?"

The Zhonghuangmen that Zhang Yuan met were all eunuchs, not complete people like Wang Sui.

"Doctor Qing, please follow me as an official."

A member of the Zhonghuang family bent down and said to Zhang Yuan, and then Zhang Yuan nodded and followed, and they walked deep together.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Xuanshi Hall of Jianzhang Palace. Zhonghuangmen stopped here and turned back to Zhang Yuan and said.

"Doctor Qing, His Majesty is currently reviewing the memorial in the Proclamation Hall.

The next official can only lead you here, and you will wait outside the hall, and then someone must come in to communicate. "

Zhang Yuan knew that each of these eunuchs had their own responsibilities, and being able to bring Zhang Yuan here already gave Zhang Yuan a great deal of face.

"Well, I see."

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a loud noise.

This is the palace, no one dares to make a loud noise here. Zhang Yuan looked forward and saw a man holding a halberd blocking two people outside the Xuanshi Hall, preventing them from entering.

Take a closer look, isn't this the little boy that Princess Guantao raised with her?

Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly became interested, wanting to see who was so bold as to stop the big man Dou Taizhu in the palace.

After thinking for a while, they went straight forward, Princess Guantao and the three of them also discovered Zhang Yuan's existence.

"I have seen Mrs. Dou."

Zhang Yuan bowed to Princess Guantao, and then glanced at the person in front of him.

The man was not afraid, and looked directly at Zhang Yuan.

"Who are you? Your Majesty is reviewing the memorials inside, and no one else is allowed to enter."

Zhang Yuan was about to speak, when Dong Yan stepped forward and interjected.

"Dongfang Shuo, it's fine if you insult me, I'm just a servant of the Grand Master.

But you don't even recognize Doctor Qing with your eyes. I mean, do you look down on people with dog eyes, or you don't take Doctor Qing seriously at all. "

Zhang Yuan looked at Dong Yan, who was dressed in white, with only disgust in his eyes.

Seeing Princess Guantao on the side, he immediately began to provoke hatred and war.

"Dong Jun's words are a little too much.

I, Zhang Yuan, do not admire fame and wealth and are not close to women, so I stay at the foot of Lantian Mountain all year round.

There are many people in the court who don't know me, otherwise no one would have murdered me at the gate of the city a few days ago, right?
Dong Jun, are you trying to make those people who don't know me, Zhang Yuan, hate me?Dong Jun must remember to be cautious in his words in the future, otherwise sometimes he will hurt his mouth if he says too much what should not be said. "

Even if the person in front of him is not Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Yuan will not let a villain like Dong Yan gossip here.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo felt that Zhang Yuan liked him very much, so he swung his halberd forward and forced Dong Yan back a few steps.

"How many of what you said just now are correct, you are just a servant, and you still want to enter the Hall of Proclamation to meet His Majesty?
Dou Taizhu, it's not that I want to embarrass you, today Dou Taizhu can directly enter the palace, but this person must stay outside. "

Princess Guantao had been so humiliated before, and she wanted to explode immediately, but Dong Yan stretched out her hand and stopped Princess Guantao directly, then shook her head.

Princess Guantao just sat on the ground, leaning against the pillars of the hall and began to sob.

Zhang Yuan was completely stunned, the people surnamed Liu were indeed all acting school, so they cried as soon as they said it.

Looking at Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Yuan vaguely felt that this prodigal might be in trouble. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly took a few steps, moving from the west side of the main hall gate to the east side.

It should always be better to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

Sure enough, a figure soon appeared in the Xuanshi hall, and this person was Wang Sui.
