Han Dao world

Liu Xie was also a little upset, he already guessed what Pan Jun was going to say.He turned his head to look at Xun Yu, with a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth. "Mr. Xun, here comes the person who raises the banner of etiquette."

Xun Yu didn't speak, but his heart was a little complicated.

Song Zhong is a great Confucian in Jingzhou, he knows all the five classics, and the study of etiquette is no exception.Liu Biao established his school in Jingzhou, mainly relying on Song Zhong and Qi Wukai.Since Pan Jun was Song Zhong's disciple, he must have been very knowledgeable.

It's just that Song Zhong had conflicts with the emperor because of the incident of the portraits of the prefects, but Wang Can clearly stood by the emperor.Pan Jun's attack at this time has some personal grievances, and it is likely to cause the emperor's displeasure, so he may not be the best candidate.

Hearing the tone of the emperor, one knew that the emperor was already vigilant.

It's just that other people are upstairs, and they can't go down to stop them, so they have to listen.

Sure enough, Pan Jun immediately recommended the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" co-authored by Song Zhong and Liu Biao, and said that this book was printed with the queen's private funds.

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere upstairs and downstairs became a little tense, and countless eyes looked at Wang Can.

This "Five Classics" involves three people: Queen, Song Zhong, and Liu Biao.

If it is not determined to be the first, it will not look good for the queen.

If it is set as the first, not only Song Zhong will have face, but Liu Biao will also have face.

In fact, everyone knows that although the emperor gave Liu Biao a posthumous posthumous title, it was only based on the overall situation, and it did not mean that the emperor himself had a good impression of Liu Biao. When he came to Nanyang County, he also criticized this book, thinking that the chapters and sentences were not urgent and should not be read. Too much praise.

It would be somewhat embarrassing if the first book recommendation meeting listed this book that Liu Biao participated in editing and was criticized by the emperor as the first.

Someone in the corner said something, but it was vague, and the tone was not very good.

Liu Xie stretched his neck and looked for a long time, but he couldn't find who it was.

"Has Mr. Xun read this book?" Liu Xie looked away and asked softly.

"I have read it." Xun Yu didn't hide it. "As soon as the book was printed, Song Zhong sent someone to give me a set."

"How's the evaluation?"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment. "As far as learning is concerned, he is still very good. In the peaceful world, Liu Biao would have been a great Confucian. It is a pity that he was not born at the right time and could not fully display his talents."

Liu Xie laughed silently, without asking any further questions.

Xun Yu's attitude was very tactful, but also very firm, it would be meaningless to ask again.

Downstairs, Wang Can was also silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth. "Since it is a book recommendation meeting, Chengming naturally has the right to recommend books. As for whether it can be listed as the first, it is not something Chengming can decide. Come, and write down the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences"."

Someone stepped forward, holding a pen, intending to write the title of the book "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" on the prepared whiteboard.

Pan Jun stepped forward, took the pen from the man's hand, and wrote six big and correct characters with a swipe. Then he put down the pen, glanced at Wang Can, and returned to his seat calmly.

"Good calligraphy." Someone shouted.

It's just that few people agreed, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Liu Xie glanced at it from a distance, and also felt that Pan Jun's calligraphy was good, vigorous and powerful.

"Pan Jun took the lead and took the lead everywhere. He was really prepared." Xun Wenqian said in a low voice, "Wang Can is in a dilemma. If he can't deal with it properly, this Lantai Lingshi will have to be replaced."

Liu Xie smiled. "Why, do you think Wang Can will be defeated?"

"Your Majesty thinks he can still win?"

Liu Xie crossed his hands, put them in front of his abdomen, leaned his body slightly, and leaned into Xun Wenqian's ear and said, "How about we make a bet?"

Xun Wenqian glanced at Xun Yu next to her with some guilt.

Xun Yu remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Xun Wenqian whispered, "What do you want to bet, Your Majesty?"

"If this "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" is rated as the first after everyone's evaluation, after the spring of next year, I will go to the Western Regions and never go back to the Central Plains."

Xun Wenqian was taken aback and did not dare to accept Liu Xie's invitation to fight.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't make jokes."

Liu Xie smiled, but there was no smile in his tone.

"Xun Jun, I'm not joking. If this book becomes the champion, the education of the past few years will be a failure, and there is no need to persist. It is better to change the method and start over." He paused , and said: "Anyway, I'm still young, not bad for the past few years."

Xun Yu shook his hand and spilled half a cup of tea on his chest.

Chapter 1153 A drop in the ocean

Seeing this, Tang, who had been sitting by the side without saying a word, quickly took out a handkerchief and went forward to wipe it for Xun Yu.

Xun Yu blushed, got up and left the table, and gave a deep salute.

"Your disrespect is a capital offense, a capital offense. Your Majesty, please step back and tidy up your appearance."

Liu Xie glanced at Xun Yu with a half-smile. "It's up to Mr. Xun, just don't reveal your whereabouts."

Xun Yu bowed again, turned around and went out lightly.Tang Corps also pleaded guilty and followed out.There was a maid arranged by Mrs. Tang outside the door. Seeing that Xun Yu's complexion was not good and his chest was wet again, she didn't dare to say anything, and led Xun Yu to change clothes.

Xun Wenqian glanced at Liu Xie, but hesitated to speak.

Liu Xie didn't take it seriously, and asked: "Will you bet or not?"

Xun Wenqian blinked. "Since Your Majesty is so interested, I'll make it fun. The business of the weaving workshop is booming this year, and I have received a lot of rewards at the end of the year. After honoring my parents, I still have nearly [-] gold. If Your Majesty doesn't think it's too expensive, I'll take the money as money." Caitou, how about it?"

"Okay." Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "Mosquitoes are meat even though they are small, and if you can earn one, it is worth one."

Xun Wenqian couldn't help but covered her lips and smiled.

At this time, someone downstairs got up to recommend books.

This time, it was the sacrificial text written by Cai Yan.

The reason is also very simple. First, Cai Yan’s writing style is really good. In just a few words, he vividly described the wars and tragedies of the past 20 years. At that time, when the peace was approaching, paying homage to the dead made people cherish the peace in front of them and work hard;

The most important reason is the third reason, Cai Yan's article has saved many people.If it were not for this sacrificial oration, many more people would have been killed.And Cai Yan was demoted for this article, and paid the price, which deserves everyone's respect.

Everyone agreed, and then wrote the name of this article on the whiteboard.

Liu Xie curled his lips, and Xun Wenqian who was on the side also secretly laughed twice.

There are only a handful of people who know why Cai Yan was demoted. The emperor played two birds with one stone so well that he almost deceived everyone.

Then someone got up and recommended two articles related to astronomy written by Yang Xiu.

The reason is that these two articles re-explained the rationality of Xuan Ye's theory, which is easier to understand, and can explain the observed phenomena better than Gaitian's and Huntian's theory, and has the merit of invention.

Hearing this, Liu Xie was somewhat relieved, feeling that his efforts were not in vain.

Xuan Ye said that it can be recognized, which shows that the worldview of scholars at this time is slowly changing, and it is changing in the right direction.

Perhaps in the near future, the geocentric theory will be abandoned.

-

Xun Yu took off his coat, Tang took it and put it on the ironing rack, ready to dry it with an iron.

"Husband, why did you lose your composure with a joke from the emperor?"

Xun Yu sat aside and let out a long sigh. "Ma'am, do you really think this is a joke?"

Tang turned to look at Xun Yu, but didn't dare to ask again.

Xun Yu sighed several times, got up and walked to the door, and asked the waiter outside to invite Mrs. Tang.The waiter went, and he stood at the door, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, frowning.

He knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven was no joke.

Counting from the autumn of the second year of Xingping, when the Son of Heaven promoted enlightenment in the army, it has been more than eight years now.Peace in the world is certainly a joyful achievement, but it is still far from the goal of the emperor.

What the emperor wants is not temporary peace, but long-term peace, at least a hundred years of peace.For this grand goal, he can endure, make concessions, and deal with everyone patiently, showing a maturity that is rare at his age.

But if he felt that these were meaningless, would he still bear it like this?

No, he would choose another path.

Xun Yu didn't dare to think about what kind of chaos the world would usher in if the emperor abandoned the current New Deal and adopted another plan.

At least one thing, he can be sure, whether it is Confucianism or party members, they will not end well. The emperor will uproot them and burn them, and will never give them a chance to bargain.

This is not a threat, this is a warning.

The Son of Heaven holds heavy soldiers in his hands, and has such strength.

Xun Yu once again felt the pain of not having military power, but unlike 20 years ago, he is more helpless now.

It's not that the Confucian sect has no chance to control military power, it's that the Confucian sect can't grasp it by itself.

Yuan Shao used to be the leader of Shandong Province and counties, with hundreds of thousands of elites in his hands, but he neither dared to attack Dong Zhuo nor pacified Shandong.

The Son of Heaven didn't even launch an actual attack, he was defeated and captured.

Who can do better than Yuan Shao?No.

Xun You?impossible.Don't look at him as the official residence of Youyan Duhu, with tens of thousands of elites in his hands, but without the support of Qu Yi, Zhang Liao and other warriors, he is nothing.

If he rebelled, he might be decapitated before entering the fortress, and passed on to the capital.

The more Xun Yu thought about it, the more disturbed he became, and he sighed, until Mrs. Tang rushed over.

Mrs. Tang was in the room on the second floor, talking with some female family members of the Nanyang rich family. She was somewhat surprised to hear that Xun Yu invited her to visit.

The clothes are wet, just change them.There is no change of clothes, and it is not troublesome to dry it.Why are you looking for me?

Obviously, the clothes are just for the first time, Xun Yu has other important things to say, and it is even inconvenient to say it to the emperor.

"What happened?" Mrs. Tang said, "When I passed the door, I heard the emperor and Wen Qian chatting and joking. The atmosphere was very harmonious."

Xun Yu waved his hand, first motioned Mrs. Tang to drive the waiter away, and then whispered the emperor's "joke".He asked Mrs. Tang to find a way to guide the rhythm downstairs, and she must not let the book "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" be listed as the first.

After Madam Tang listened, her eyes flickered for a long time. "Wen Ruo, you overestimate me. Do you think they can listen to me at my invitation and hold a book recommendation meeting here? They are willing to come because they are giving me face, not because they owe me favors."

"Then what should we do?" Xun Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. "If the Son of Heaven gets annoyed and uses force to solve it, this rare peace will be completely ruined."

"You think too much." Mrs. Tang was very calm.

"You think the emperor wouldn't do that?"

"If "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" was ranked first, the emperor would do that, but I don't think "Five Classics and Chapters and Sentences" will be ranked first."

Xun Yu was stunned, staring at Mrs. Tang, not knowing what to say.

Mrs. Tang raised her hand and waved lightly to signal Xun Yu not to be nervous. She sat down in front of the fire pond and poured Xun Yu a cup of milk tea.

"Wen Ruo, you just arrived in Wancheng, and you don't understand the situation. Today's Wancheng is not the Wancheng in your impression. Although the Five Classics are still must-read for Confucian scholars, they are not comparable to other books, but they are not the only classics, not even the highest. "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" is originally an old Confucian theory, but it was only published this year, and it doesn't have as much influence as you think."

"Then... what book has the greatest influence, even surpassing the Five Classics?"

"The "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" is not the Five Classics, but just the words of Song Zhong, Liu Biao and others." Mrs. Tang corrected: "Even the Five Classics, compared with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, are just a drop in the ocean."

Chapter 1154

Xun Yu was skeptical, but he still hoped that Mrs. Tang would find a way to ensure that "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" would not be elected as the first.

Mrs. Tang was very helpless.

"Okay, I'll try it."

For a moment, Xun Yu was very hurt.Mrs. Tang looked at him a bit like looking at a foolish man and woman in the country, not a celebrity, Wang Zuo, or even an adult with normal thinking.

Mrs. Tang got up and left, leaving Xun Yu and his wife ironing clothes in the room.

After a while, Xun Wenqian came. "Not done yet?"

"Soon." Tang said, winking at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian understood, walked up to Xun Yu, tilted her head to look at Xun Yu for a while, and laughed. "Didn't Ah Weng always hope that the emperor will rule and the government will belong to the three princes? Why are you afraid that the emperor will go west?"

Xun Yu rolled his eyes at her, but hesitated to speak. "Elected?"

"It's still being recommended, and I don't think it will be resolved in the morning." Xun Wenqian took the iron from Tang's hand and started to work quickly.Seeing this, Tang couldn't help asking, "You are so proficient, do you do it often?"

"People in the weaving workshop naturally see such things every day. Not to mention me, even the queen can do these things at ease. People who cross their hands and only talk big will not be able to get along in the weaving workshop .Even if my aunt is in the printing workshop, she can handle every process and know the importance and pros and cons..."

Xun Yu turned his head and saw that Xun Wenqian had ironed the clothes in a few strokes. He was surprised but also felt a little bit enlightened.

After not seeing her for a year, her daughter was far from the nobleman in the deep palace he remembered.

Xun Wenqian carried her clothes and walked up to Xun Yu. While helping Xun Yu get dressed, she said, "The Son of Heaven does not stop practicing martial arts every day, so that he can have the confidence to speak before the generals. If you can't ride a horse, you can't pull it." Gong, even if you are high and powerful, the soldiers will not accept you, and you can only lure them with your wealth. If you want to convince them, you must have enough strength. If you come, you can fight, and if you fight, you can win..."

"Okay." Xun Yu brushed off his clothes, and said impatiently, as if to say that the clothes are ready, but also as if to tell Xun Wenqian to stop.

Xun Wenqian smiled sweetly, turned and walked towards the door. "If you are tired, just sit here for a while, anyway, you may have lunch later. I saw that my aunt has left the table and is arranging wine and food."
