Han Dao world

"Yes, but this time it is not the literature of the six countries, but the literature of the world." Lang Guan smiled. "There are quite a few barbarians in there, whose appearance is very different from my Han people. One is said to be a prince from the Anxi Kingdom, who originally translated scriptures at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang."

"Does Tongwenguan still translate scriptures?"

"There is a little bit, but not many. Now there is a shortage of manpower. The main translations are Greek and Roman classics. The most popular ones are astronomy, arithmetic and classics."

"Greece?"

"I heard that it was a dynasty before Rome, about the same age as ours. There were a few saints, and the theory was quite interesting. After reading the translation, several great Confucians from the Imperial Academy said it was interesting."

Lang Guan said with joy and envy.

Mi Heng saw it clearly, and couldn't help being curious.

When he was in Hanyang, he met many Hu merchants, heard of the names of Great Qin and Rome, and also heard of Greece, but there was not much news about Greece, and most of them were related to Guishuang in the Western Regions.

It was the first time he knew that Greece and Daqin were together.

Going forward, the scenery becomes familiar, still half-old palace walls, mottled colors, but the scale is smaller.

"Why is there only people in Jiaofang Palace?" Mi Heng said looking at the palace in the distance.

"The nobles in the palace all live in the Jiaofang Hall. The other palaces will be demolished and converted into bookstores. In the future, a library will be built here to store the world's classics for the emperor to read. Oh, yes, recently someone I wrote a letter, suggesting to compile a Dahan Chunqiu..."

"Big Han Chunqiu?"

"It is the history of Han Dynasty like the Spring and Autumn Period, from the rise of Emperor Gao to the death of Emperor Xiaoling, and the chaos of Dong He."

Mi Heng was stunned, and then realized the possible deep meaning behind this suggestion.

Putting He Jin and Dong Zhuo side by side, it is inevitable to mention Yuan Shao.As the representative of the aristocratic family behind He Jin, once Yuan Shao falls to the same position as Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others, his reputation will be completely ruined, and he can no longer expect to enter the court and govern.

Just like today's Zhang Ji and others, being cautious may save their lives, and if they dare to act recklessly, what awaits them is ruin, and even the family.

Except for Yuan Shao himself, those who followed him also could not escape punishment, leaving eternal infamy.

I don't know what kind of person is making such a sinister suggestion.

While chatting with Lang Guan, Mi Heng walked forward and came to Qingliang Hall.

After entering the hall, Mi Heng saw the emperor sitting in the hall, flipping through an official document.

Mi Heng took off his shoes, hung the sword at his waist on the Lan Qi beside him, stepped into the hall, came to the emperor, and bowed down on the ground.

"Chen, Qingzhou Mi Heng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie raised his head, took a look at Mi Heng, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and lifted the teapot on the case. "Before I fill you with water, you have to explain what you have learned in the past few months. If you can't satisfy me, you can go out of the palace after drinking this cup of tea."

As she spoke, she tilted her wrist slightly, and the tea flowed out and poured into the Qingzi porcelain cup on the table.

"Wei." Mi Heng bowed again. "The three generations were based on the nobles, the Warring States was based on scholars, and the Han was based on the four peoples. The wider the base, the stronger the country."

After Mi Heng finished speaking, Liu Xie also filled a glass of water.

He put down the teapot, looked at the rippling tea liquid in the cup, and reached out his hand to signal.

"And drink tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." You Heng walked forward on his knees, held up the teacup with both hands, thanked Liu Xie again, and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Xie nodded and ordered someone to give him a seat.

A Lang official came over, laid out the table and set up the tea set.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I used it at the posthouse."

"It's been a lot of hard work for the past few months." Liu Xie raised his eyelids and looked at Mi Heng with a smile in his eyes.

I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and Mi Heng seems to be a different person. His face is darker and less frivolous, but his eyes are firmer and his fighting spirit is more high-spirited.

As soon as Mi Heng arrived in Hanyang, he received Yang Xiu's report.He is also very clear about what Mi Heng has done in Hanyang in the past few months.What kind of changes will probably happen, I also know it in my heart.

But seeing Mi Heng himself, he was still very pleased.

Especially after hearing Mi Heng's blurted speech.

Another piece of beautiful jade was successfully carved.

Having such an understanding shows that Mi Heng has surpassed the simple Confucian moral view of history and stepped into the threshold of materialist view of history.With such a foundation, there is the possibility of dialogue between them.

"I heard that you have traveled a lot in Hanyang?"

"It's not too much, and it's mainly around Jixian County. Before I set off, I was entrusted by Lord Yang Fu to return to Hanyang after the lecture, and go to Bindao as a teacher to educate the children of Han and Qiang. If possible in the future, I will return to Hanyang I want to go through several other county roads and have a look.”

"So, you have no intention of returning to Beijing in a short time?"

"Before forty, I don't want to go back to Beijing." Mi Heng paused, and then said: "If possible, I would like to go further to broaden my knowledge."

"How far is farther?"

"To the west of Congling Ridge. I heard that beyond Congling Ridge, there is another piece of heaven and earth, which is different from the scenery of the Central Plains. Although there are legends to be heard and ancient books, it is better to come here in person. If you can travel around, you will live up to this life."

Liu Xie smiled and nodded slightly. "Aspirations should be lofty, but your loftiness is even higher, which is daunting."

Mi Heng smiled proudly. "Extraordinary things should be treated by extraordinary people."

"Okay, since you are so determined, I have no objection. Now let me talk about what you have gained in the past few months, and explain what it means to take the four people as the foundation, and what means the thicker the foundation, the stronger the country."

"Wei!" Mi Heng bowed slightly. "I have been to Hanyang for a few months, and under the guidance of the Lord Yang, I went deep into the villages and pavilions around Jixian County, chatted with the Han and Qiang people, and learned a little about the hardships in the world..."

Mi Heng narrated his experience in the past few months, and many scenes appeared before his eyes again, which made him feel a little bit emotional.

He was a young man with precocious wisdom, read extensively in classics and history, and had a brilliant literary talent. He had argued countless times with others, and he never failed.Once upon a time, I thought that I had already comprehended the way of a sage, and only waiting for the enlightened emperor to appreciate it, I would be able to enter the hall of the emperor, to the emperor Yao and Shun, and the world will be ruled.

When he arrived in Hanyang, he realized that governing the world is not so easy.Not to mention the world, there are countless troubles in just one county and one county.Everyone has their own ideas and interests, and it is impossible to please everyone.

What surprised him the most was that the benevolence, righteousness and kingly way he believed in did not involve the larger number of ordinary people at all.Although they are benevolent when they speak and righteous when they are silent, for ordinary people, these truths they say cannot even guarantee their food and clothing, let alone enlightenment.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion to abolish the state priest."

"Why?"

"Shepherds drive livestock with sticks in hand. You can herd cattle and sheep, but how can you herd people? If you treat the people like cattle and sheep, how can you love the people?"

Chapter 763

Liu Xie also had the idea of ​​abolishing the state pastor and restoring the governor.

But he didn't expect that Mi Heng proposed to abolish the state animal husbandry, because the animal husbandry had the intention of herding animals, which violated the love for the people.

At the beginning, he still thought that Mi Heng had not exhausted his scholarly habits, and that his name was too similar.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Mi Heng said is reasonable.

If the name is not right, the words are not right.

The title is sometimes very suggestive.Calling the state herds means that the government recognizes that the management of the people is the same as herding cattle and sheep, and ordinary people are not treated as human beings.

In "Shuowen Jiezi", Mu is explained as a cowherd.With the spread of this part of the book, this explanation has gradually become known to more people.

Especially ordinary people.

At this time, the title of state priest is a bit outdated, and it is very necessary to change or cancel it, just like changing craftsman and medical craftsman to craftsman and doctor.

And from this suggestion, what Liu Xie felt was Ni Heng's respect for ordinary people from the bottom of his heart, not just lip service.

To be honest, this was a bit beyond his expectation.

"The suggestion is a good suggestion, but there will definitely be people who will find it inconvenient to change the system. You should prepare and write a letter at that time, and discuss it with the minister at the court meeting."

"Wei." You Heng rejoiced in his heart.

Although he believed that the emperor would accept his suggestion, he did not expect the emperor's reaction to be so decisive, without hesitation at all.

The two talked speculatively, and time passed unknowingly.

-

After Xun Wenqian finished washing, she sat in the room and waited.

Seeing that it was the first hour of Haishi, and there was still no movement outside, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It is estimated that the emperor was busy and forgot again.

The emperor has been very busy recently.

As the end of the new year is approaching, counties and counties will start planning, and virtuous literature from all over the world will also come in droves, preparing to participate in the year-end meeting.The contradictions among the armies in Guanzhong gradually became prominent. Some people proposed to reorganize the armies, but the voices of opposition were not small.

Although Jia Xu's appointment as Taiwei greatly suppressed the generals and relieved a lot of trouble for the emperor, this was only a temporary measure, and the problem would eventually be resolved.

The army is the foundation, and there should be no hidden dangers, and problems must be resolved in a timely manner.

In contrast, matters in the state and county can be delayed, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Thinking of the state and county affairs, Xun Wenqian couldn't help but think of the emperor's attitude towards Xun Chen.

Obviously, the emperor didn't care whether Yuan Tan proclaimed himself a minister, and even refused.As for whether to reject Yuan Tan or those Ruying people behind Yuan Tan, it's hard to say.

Sometimes, she also dislikes those Ruying people.

Some stubborn people who rely on the old to sell the old are not only self-righteous, but also bold and reckless.

Among them, Xu You is a typical example.

Even if such a person becomes a minister, he may not be able to keep his position.Instead of this, it is better to pacify them by force, and just save their lives when the time comes.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps sounded outside, and the maid hurried in.

"My lord, the emperor is here."

Xun Wenqian withdrew her thoughts and got up to greet her.As soon as she walked to the door, Liu Xie walked in with a smile on her face.

"It's late, it's late." Liu Xie said repeatedly, holding Xun Wenqian's face, and kissed her forehead.

Xun Wenqian signaled the maid to prepare water, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so happy, it seems that there is good news?"

"Indeed, an unexpected surprise." Sitting down, Liu Xie was still filled with emotion. "Young people still have less burden, and it is easier to change their minds. When Mi Heng went to Hanyang for a few months, it was like a different person."

Xun Wenqian was surprised. "Your Majesty and You Heng talked about the present?"

"Yeah, we've been talking about the present. He's been worth a lot in the past few months. It's worth it. In the future, we need to form a system, and those who want to enter the court will go to the local government for a period of time. It's more useful than reasoning."

Liu Xie was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, and then he said, "Has there been no news from Changqian for a while?"

Xun Wenqian thought about it. "The last letter was three months ago. At that time, it was said that there might be a barbarian encounter after the beginning of spring. Maybe I was busy with this matter."

Liu Xie calculated the time and felt that it was necessary to pay attention.

Xun Yun and Ke Bineng had already gone a long way, and the news lagged behind seriously.In case of conflict with other tribes, only the Protectorate of the Western Regions can provide support, with limited troops.The garrisons in the four counties of Hexi can only be used with the imperial edict, and it takes at least a month to come and go.

"Yang Xiu, Changqian, and Mi Heng are all the best of the younger generation. If the scholars can be like them, why don't the big men worry about it?"

The maid brought water, Liu Xie washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and took off his coat.

Xun Wenqian fetched a fan and fanned Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, these are all descendants of aristocratic families. If you use them too much, I'm afraid it will arouse unnecessary suspicion."

"There's nothing to worry about." Liu Xie disagreed. "I'm not against aristocratic families, I'm against those who only care about the small family and ignore the big family. Ordinary people are just fine. Scholars must take on the responsibility of a scholar. You can't just focus on the immediate mess and keep all morals and righteousness in your mouth. "

Xun Wenqian pursed her lips and smiled. "Only His Majesty has such a heart, others can't think so far."

"That's because they didn't stand high enough and walked not far enough." Liu Xie put his arms around Xun Wenqian's shoulders. "You went to Liangzhou, isn't it an eye-opener?"

"That's true." Xun Wenqian felt the same way. "When I think of the sentence that His Majesty said that we have stepped on Mount Hua, I feel incredible. For a long time, I couldn't believe it."

"Do you believe it now?"

"It feels unacceptable, but various evidences show that what His Majesty said should be right."

"for example?"

"For example, the climate. I remember that when I was in Liangzhou, it was not so hot this season, especially at night, and I had to cover it with a quilt. I asked a few people who have climbed Huashan, and they said that the climate on Huashan is like this. The higher you go, the more so."

Liu Xie laughed, and then said: "You have read so many books, have you ever thought about writing a book?"

"Me?" Xun Wenqian shook her head repeatedly. "I don't have that kind of knowledge. I read books just to relieve boredom. It's not research. I just want to be comprehensive. I'm not deep enough. How can I write a book and talk about it? It's ridiculous."

"It is good to be erudite. Many people like the Western Regions texts you translated. Even Kong Wenju praised your writing for its cleanliness. If you can write down what you have seen and heard in Liangzhou, it will make those who have never been to Liangzhou It is also a good thing for the people of Liangzhou to experience the local customs and customs of Liangzhou."

"Really?" Xun Wenqian was overjoyed.

After Tongwen Hall opened, she did translate a few articles, but she didn't dare to sign her name for fear of being laughed at.It was beyond her expectation to be praised by Kong Rong.

Kong Rong's thinking is a bit stubborn, but his articles are notoriously good.The people who can get his praise can be counted on one hand.

"Can I still lie to you? Just take it as a boredom, write a little when you have time, save a few thousand words, and give it to the emperor's wife, and let her arrange for someone to print it."
