Han Dao world

Sikong Zhouzhong said that it might be impossible before the new year, and the discussion has been postponed until the new year.

Liu Xie was a little disappointed, but he couldn't think about it.

He Yan also said that after he came out of Sikong Mansion, he went to Situ Mansion by the way, and saw Da Si Nong Liu Ba and others.It is said that Yang Xiu is coming soon, that is, in the past two days.

Liu Xie was quite surprised, and looked at He Yan again.

This kid is very active today.

In the past, asking him to do something was like counting beads, dialing it and moving it, and he never took an extra step. Don't even think about doing things on his own initiative without arrangement like today.

It seems that he was really stimulated today, but he doesn't know how many days his enthusiasm will last.

Liu Xie praised a few words and asked He Yan to have dinner and rest early.

After running all day today, he is quite tired, after all, he is still a child.

He Yan responded, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped again. "Your Majesty, I just heard some news."

"Say."

"Sanqi Sun Quan had a conflict with someone, and even saw blood."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "For what?"

"Someone seems to say that his... blood is not pure, and he is not a real descendant of the Fuchun Sun family."

Liu Xie was a little surprised.

Sun Quan had blue eyes, and it wasn't a day or two before he was mistaken for Hu'er. He was used to it long ago, so how could he still fight with people, even seeing blood?

"Let him come."

Chapter 1163

Sun Quan came soon.

However, he didn't conflict with others, and even saw blood, he looked calm and unhurried.

After hearing Liu Xie's question, he laughed, as if he felt that He Yan made a fuss.

"Your Majesty, He Yan got it wrong. The reason I fought with them was not because they slandered me."

"What's that for?"

"They slandered the government, saying that Hua and barbarians are indistinguishable. In the future, there will be more and more people like ministers, which will affect their so-called orthodoxy." Sun Quan cleared his throat and was about to spit, but then remembered that he was in front of the emperor at this moment, Instead of fighting with people on the street, he swallowed back the saliva that was about to spit out. "I couldn't see it, so I argued with them a few words."

"That's right, did you win the debate?"

"I won't win, I still can't decide, but I didn't lose anyway." Sun Quan grinned. "When they come out of the herbal hall, I will ask you again."

"You beat them into the herbal hall?"

"Well, with one against three, I didn't know how to measure it well, so I'm a bit heavy-handed." Sun Quan smacked his lips. "I didn't expect that they looked tall and big, and they were so angry that they couldn't help beating. No wonder Wu Da Sima has no successors and can't eat blood."

"A descendant of Wu Han?"

"Well, it seems that the great grandson of Sima Wu, who had the opportunity to become a noble, was expelled by His Majesty and became a commoner."

Liu Xie understood a little bit.

Wu Han, who ranks second among the 28 generals of Yuntai, is from Wancheng, Nanyang, and his three brothers are enshrined as marquises. They can be said to be the most prominent family in Wancheng.Wu Han's title lasted the longest. Before he entered Nanyang, the Marquis of Pingchun was still there, but the martial arts had disappeared, and only some dudes remained.

At the beginning of getting out of the car, he won the titles of some people, including Wu Sheng, the Marquis of Pingchun at that time.

He seized the Wu family's title and took the Wu family's land, but he did not confiscate Wu's property, and retained a bit of decency.Therefore, although the Wu family suffered heavy losses, they have not yet reached the point of taking risks.

Wu Sheng was old and didn't dare to have any opinions, but Wu Sheng's descendants were young and energetic, and they were not very convinced. It was not surprising to say a few strange words.

He had heard it before, but he didn't pay attention to it.

A group of declining nobles, what kind of storms can they cause?Now is not the era of consumerism where the entertainment industry is developed, and a few old and young can still take advantage of the monopoly of so-called culture, insinuating, pointing and cursing.

Liu Xie asked Sun Quan a few more words.

These casual riders would go out to hang out when they were not on duty, and they had the task of understanding public opinion, so they were Liu Xie's eyes and ears.

Sun Quan talked about some situations, but nothing particularly new, just mentioned a little bit.

Because Liu Xie stayed in Wancheng for a long time, there were rumors in the market that although Nanyang lost the name of the emperor's hometown, it might replace Luoyang and become the new imperial capital.

Liu Xie laughed dumbfounded, and waved his hand to signal Sun Quan to back down.

The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it became. Nanyang became the imperial capital?This is simply not possible.

But it also reminded him that he stayed in Nanyang for too long, and he has not decided on the capital for a long time, which gave other people room to imagine.

The matter of establishing the capital should be on the agenda.

"Looking at the Stars" was recommended as the champion of new books published in the eighth year of Jian'an, which attracted the attention of many people.Not only did many people rush into the bookstore, planning to buy one to see what kind of masterpiece it was, but the officials in attendance also clearly felt the change in atmosphere.

A thin booklet, and it talks about specific alchemy, can actually beat the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" and become the champion, which in itself represents a change.

Especially when people learned about Xun Yu's role in it, they felt even stronger.

Although it was not stated explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Son of Heaven had high expectations for Xun Yu.If there is no accident, Xun Yu will definitely serve as Situ in the future and take charge of state affairs.His attitude is likely to be the direction of Dahan's development in the next decade or so.

He is very practical and hard to ignore.

There are also people who are angry because of this, especially those who are aggrieved by the neglect of Confucian classics.They turned up old accounts, saying that Xun Yu's grandfather, Xun Shu, was not an orthodox Confucian student back then, and his knowledge of chapters and sentences was sloppy.Pushing forward, Xunzi, the ancestor of the Xun family, was also a Confucian heretic, not a true Confucian student.

All in all, the Confucianism of the Xun family in Yingchuan was unorthodox, and it was born with the habit of following others.

As soon as similar words are said, it is inevitable to be extended.

At that time, Xunzi's theory developed into Legalism in the hands of Li Si and Han Fei. Will Xun Yu's rule lead the great man to the same fate as the Qin Dynasty?

The emperor's administration is tough, and there are already criticisms of heavy law.If Xun Yu, a Confucian heretic who is Confucianism outside and law inside, is allowed to become a Situ, then Han law will really become Qin law.

Rumors spread like wind and quickly reached the ears of relevant people.

Xun Yu naturally heard it too.

But he didn't take it seriously.

After returning from the Yinfang meeting, he devoted himself to studying the relevant classics of the Western Regions, especially those related to Rome.He borrowed a lot of books from Lantai, and sometimes he simply read them in Lantai, saving even food.

Thanks to Xun Yu's help, Wang Can finally completed the set task. He was also very grateful to Xun Yu, warmly welcomed Xun Yu to study in Lantai, and specially prepared a desk for him.

Wang Can has a photographic memory and has become Xun Yu's best assistant in finding information.

When Xun Yu was tired from studying, Wang Can would show up at the right time, bring wine and snacks, chat with Xun Yu and exchange thoughts.Their attitude towards Rome is very consistent, and they all support the emperor's conquest in principle.

The reason is also very simple: Rome made people fight with wild animals for fun. It was a standard barbarian and needed to be educated.

If Rome was just a small country or tribe, so be it.There are also many barbarians around the Han Dynasty, not bad for Rome.However, Rome is a big country with a household registration and territory close to that of a big Han, and it still has such a barbaric system. There must be a lot of people living in dire straits.

As the only big country that can compete with Rome, and as saints who advocate benevolence and righteousness, they have the obligation to defeat Rome, liberate the people from hanging upside down, realize the true unification, and benefit the world.

Of course, it is very difficult to conquer thousands of miles, and it requires good planning.It would be inappropriate if, like Emperor Xiaowu, the household registration in the world was halved and the people complained.

How to realize the ambition of Confucianism without repeating the mistakes of Emperor Xiaowu has become the most important mission of Confucianism at present, and should be supported by every scholar.

Vigorously developing practical learning has become one of the few choices.

This way of thinking is also in line with Xunzi's thought.

Xunzi once said in "Encouraging Learning" that a gentleman's nature is not different, and he is good at falsehood.The understanding and utilization of objects is what distinguishes humans from animals.If the Yellow Emperor didn't build chariots, how could people travel all over the world?Shennong didn't distinguish hemp grain, how could people have food and clothing?If Fuxi didn't drill wood to make fire, how could people cook food?

Saints have been inventing all the time, but later generations only know how to pick up chapters and excerpts, and pick up what the saints left behind, instead of following the saints' deeds. How can they be regarded as saints' disciples?

Therefore, Xunzi is not only not a heretic of Confucianism, but a great Confucian who directly followed the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Chapter 1164 An Unusual Thing Happened

Jian'an eight years, New Year's Eve.

"Woo—" Yang Xiu tightened the reins, and the big Xiliang horse under his crotch stopped steadily, flicking its tail comfortably.If it weren't for the dust on his body, it would be hard to tell that he had just gone on a long journey.

Yang Xiu dismounted with a stirrup, threw the reins to the guards who came up, and straightened his clothes.

"Is Situ there?"

"Yes, yes." The guard said repeatedly.

"Anyone here?"

"Great Secretary of Agriculture Liu Zichu, Minister of Zhao Yang Jicai, Governor of Changshan Du Bohou..."

"Where's Yin Xunwenruo from Henan?"

The guard smiled. "He has been here a long time ago, but he hasn't been here much recently. I heard that he is studying in Lantai."

Yang Xiu turned his head. "Study in Lantai? What does he want to do, Great Confucian?"

"I don't know that." The guard smiled even more happily.He is from Hanyang, and he was proud of Yang Xiu, so he volunteered to be on duty for Situ Mansion.Being able to talk so much with Yang Xiu today made him dizzy with excitement.

Yang Xiu didn't ask any more questions, just patted the guard on the shoulder, and strode into the door.

As soon as he entered the atrium, Yang Xiu saw Yang Biao and Liu Ba standing side by side by the fish pond, talking and laughing.Hearing Yang Xiu's footsteps, they looked back. Liu Ba immediately threw a large handful of fish food into the water, clapped his hands, turned around and held Yang Xiu's arm, and laughed.

"Dezu, you are back. If you don't come back, Situ will almost fall ill."

"Zi Chu, what are you doing?" Yang Biao stomped his foot. "Throwing so much fish food in, wouldn't it swell to death?"

"Damn it, today is New Year's Eve, can you say something auspicious?" Mrs. Yuan walked out from the backyard quickly, just in time to hear Yang Biao's complaint, and couldn't help but criticize a few words.

Yang Biao was at a loss for words and shook his sleeves helplessly.

Madam Yuan rushed in front of Yang Xiu, Liu Ba tactfully let go of Yang Xiu and stepped aside.Madam Yuan looked Yang Xiu up and down, feeling distressed.

"Dezu, are you in a hurry on the road?"

"Fortunately, Xiliang horses are fast, and they can travel thousands of miles a day." Yang Xiu smiled, exchanged a few words with Madam Yuan, asked about his wife and children, and then sent Madam Yuan back to the backyard.

Yang Biao watched from the side. Although he didn't speak, he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

Yang Xiu came all the way from Hanyang, and his spirit is still so good, which shows that he has strong physical strength. In the future, he must be a sign of longevity, more children and more blessings, ending the family tradition of single inheritance.

"A Weng, brother Zichu." Yang Xiu bowed to say hello, and then got to the point. "I heard that Zimei's "Looking at the Stars" was listed as the new champion in the eighth year of Jian'an, but is it true?"

"Can this be false?" Yang Biao stroked his beard and said lightly, "You don't just care about this, do you?"

"Yes, I heard that the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" should have been the most promising, but it was Xun Wenruo who overcame all opinions and made the final decision?"

Yang Biao nodded, but did not speak.

He had heard about the incident, but he was not at the scene and did not know what happened.

This does not match the Xun Yu in his impression.

Liu Ba was very calm. "He should have done it a long time ago. It's slow to react now."

"After the book recommendation meeting, you haven't met?"

"He studies in Lantai every day, but never comes to Situ's Mansion." Yang Biao explained, "That's what I mean too. I want to wait for all of you to arrive and discuss together, so as not to waste everyone's time."

Yang Biao then told Xun Yu about the first time he met him after he came to Wancheng.

This is exactly what he can't understand.Xun Yu's attitude at that time did not look like someone who could firmly support real learning. He may have been under some pressure and had to change his attitude, and expressed his determination in this way.

Who can put such pressure on him?it goes without saying.

Apart from the Son of Heaven, there can be no second person.

On the day of the book recommendation meeting, the emperor never showed up, and no one knew where he was.Yang Biao suspected that the Son of Heaven was probably with Xun Yu on the second floor of Nanyang Yinfang and said something to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu didn't come to Situ's Mansion, probably because he didn't want to face him and face his inevitable inquiries.

Yang Xiu thought about it. "I'll go to Lantai to find him."

"Now?" Yang Biao and Liu Ba were a little surprised.Yang Biao said, "Aren't you going to see the driver first?"

"Now, I need to know what he thinks before I can decide what to do and what to say after meeting him."

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he cupped his hands, turned and left.

Yang Biao and Liu Ba looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, Liu Ba said with a smile: "De Zu really has the habits of many Xiliang people, he is decisive and capable without hesitation."

Yang Biao sighed. "I'm afraid it's too late."
