Han Dao world

Just as he was speaking, Zhao Yun came out from the inside and bowed his hands to Shi Sun Rui.

"The Son of Heaven invites you to come and see me."

Shi Sunrui nodded, and entered the door while talking with Ma Teng.

Guan Yu strode over and squeezed to Zhao Yun's side. "Zilong, stay safe."

Zhao Yun smiled. "It's not as high-spirited as Yunchang. Every time the Northern Army has a good news, I can get the good news from Yunchang."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed. "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's all a small contribution. Zilong, to tell you the truth, after the Northern Army entered Yizhou, it has never fought a real tough battle. It was always broken. Sometimes I can't wait for me to go into battle. , has already won the front. Especially the Sheshengying, since Ziyi became the captain of the Shesheng, the Sheshengying is the best at grabbing credit."

As Guan Yu spoke, he turned to greet Tai Shici.

Tai Shici waved his hands with a smile, expressing his disapproval.

While speaking, they arrived at the atrium.

Liu Xie was sitting in the hall, holding a roll of documents in his hand. When he saw Shi Sun Rui and others coming in, he stood up, walked to the corridor, and said with a smile: "My generals have made a triumphant return, welcome."

Shi Sunrui caught up a few steps, stood still at the bottom of the steps, arranged his clothes solemnly, and bowed to salute. "Chen Rui, Lieutenant of the Northern Army, has met His Majesty."

The Eighth Colonel, who was talking and laughing just now, also put away his smile, lined up behind Shi Sun Rui with a solemn expression, and bowed his hands in unison to salute.

"Infantry Lieutenant, Chen Jie, I have met His Majesty."

"Captain Huben, Chen Huang, I have seen His Majesty."

"..."

"..."

After the Eighth Colonel finished his ceremony, Shi Sunrui bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I have been on the expedition for two years. Shi Xunyan, the commander of the Shesheng Battalion, not only completed his job, but also assisted him in making suggestions. The recent map of southern Yizhou was made by him. The presidency is finished. The minister made his own decision and brought him to see him, and he is waiting in the vestibule at this moment."

Prior to this, Shi Sun Rui had already notified and obtained Liu Xie's consent, otherwise he would not have dared to bring it directly.Saying it now is just a formality.

"Zhongmou, please come in Xun Yan."

Sun Quan, who was standing at the side, agreed, walked out the door quickly, and called Xun Yan who was waiting in the front yard to come in.

Xun Yan rushed forward and bowed in salute.

"Shooting chief Shi Chenyan, I have met His Majesty."

Liu Xie sized Xun Yan up and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Xun family in Yingchuan has a large number of talents, the old eight dragons are still in my ears, and the little eight dragons are born again."

Chapter 1259 Prevention First

Xun Yan was so happy that he almost shed tears.

Shi Sunrui wanted to recommend him to take over as Zhonghou of the Northern Army, and he was very worried.Apart from the colleagues in the Eighth Battalion of the Northern Army, the emperor was most worried.

The Xun family was too popular, and he was Yuan Shao's former subordinate, so his status was too sensitive. The emperor had countless reasons to reject the recommendation of Sun Rui.It's not a hindrance to the old minister's face, but it's a good result to summon him and then leave him alone.

Now that he heard the words of the emperor, he was really relieved.

Seeing is believing, he has seen the majesty of the emperor and understood why Shi Sun Rui is so confident.

Shi Sunrui's understanding of the emperor exceeded many people's expectations.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Xie invited scholar Sun Rui and others to sit down in the hall and talk about the journey in the past two years.

Although there will be battle reports after every battle, it is still a rare enjoyment to listen to them face-to-face.

Although the strength of this army is not large, it is only around [-], and there are no outstanding military exploits to mention.But that's where their strength lies.As the saying goes, good fighters have no great achievements. The reason why they seem as easy as traveling around mountains and rivers is because they have crushed their opponents by more than one level, no matter in the command ability of the generals or the tactical quality of the soldiers.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the advantages of macro policies, which fundamentally dissolve the foundation of potential opponents, making them a tree without roots and water without a source.

The scholar Sun Rui went all the way to implement the New Deal. It seemed to be slow, but the actual progress was not much slower than Sun Ce.

The monarch and his ministers talked happily, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

The ministers who were ordered to attend the reception banquet arrived one after another, setting off wave after wave of climax.

Taking this opportunity, Shi Sunrui reported the situation of Shi Xie and others to Liu Xie, and inadvertently mentioned the article published by Yuan Huigang.

He has been paying attention to Yuan Hui, and saw Yuan Hui's article at the first time.

Liu Xie smiled. "I saw it too."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Shisun Gong, how many people do you think his article will echo?"

Sun Rui thought about it. "It shouldn't be many, but it will take time for the article to spread to various places, and it will take at least one or two months before there will be results."

"Then wait for a month or two." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "I have been waiting for so many years, and this time is not too short. It will take time for Sikong Mansion and Tingwei Temple to study the judgment plan, etc. No problem."

Liu Xie smiled. "Take this opportunity to see how the scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains have changed in recent years, so as to prepare for the next phase of the New Deal."

Shi Sun Rui understood and nodded repeatedly.

As he expected, Shi Xie and others were not that important, and the emperor never took them seriously. At most, it was a test, a test for the Central Plains scholar-bureaucrats.

This is much easier.What he was most afraid of was that the emperor would keep staring at Shi Xie, and he would have no room to maneuver.

Just as he was talking, Sikong Zhouzhong walked in, went straight to Liu Xie, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to spoil the fun."

Liu Xie looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Zhong took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.When Liu Xie saw it, he couldn't help but smacked his lips.

It turned out to be the judgment document of the Xiliang garrison Changsha nuisance case.

The trial of this case has been completed long ago, and one of Zhou Zhong's missions this time is to report the case, but he has not submitted the final result for a while.Liu Xie thought he was busy, but he didn't expect that he was waiting for this opportunity.

"Duke Zhou, must this time be?"

"Your Majesty, this time is the best time. I have to hurry up and finally catch up with this time. Everything can be established without warning. If the soldiers of the Northern Army can celebrate their achievements with peace of mind without disturbing the people, I am willing to be a Untimely villain."

Hearing Zhou Zhong mentioning the soldiers of the Northern Army and the topic of disturbing the people, Shi Sun Rui immediately understood, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Liu Xie nodded, opened the document and read it, then handed it over to Shi Sun Rui.

Shi Sun Rui looked at it respectfully, and then passed it on to Wei Jie and others.

When they heard the conversation between Liu Xie and Zhou Zhong, Wei Jie and the others guessed it, and immediately became serious and circulated the documents one by one.Although I feel a little disappointed, but in front of the emperor, it is inconvenient to show it.

After all, what Zhou Zhong said was also reasonable. It is better to warn in advance than to be punished after something happens.

Besides, the military discipline of the Northern Army has always been good. As long as they don't indulge, it is unlikely that the Xiliang Army will have such problems.

That being the case, everyone might as well behave decently.

Zhou Zhong was upright, and the Northern Army could not be defeated.Under the leadership of Shi Sunrui, Qi Shua got up and assured the emperor that he must lead by example, strictly restrain the soldiers, and never allow vicious incidents that disturb the people.

When the ministers met, they all applauded, saying that this is the demeanor that Wang Shi should have.

Only Zhang Ji was embarrassed.

-

At Tianzhu Inn, Yuan Hui, Liu Xi, teachers and students gathered around the firepit, drinking tea silently.

When the Northern Army arrived at Quanling, Shi Sun Rui and others entered the city to meet them, but the soldiers of the Northern Army did not enter the city, but stationed outside the city.After receiving the news, many people went out of the city to watch the fun. People were talking about the military status of the Northern Army inside and outside the city, but no one thought that there were not only Northern Army soldiers but also the Shi Xie family in the Northern Army barracks.

This surprised them.

They thought that Lingling was so close to Jiaozhou that some people would feel sorry for Shi Xie.

"The Son of Heaven stayed in Quanling for a year, and the soldiers of the forbidden army had strict military discipline. The people of Quanling had a good impression of them, and they fell in love with Wu as much as their houses," Xue Zong explained.

Recently, he went out with Liu Xi to choose a site, had more contact with the local people, and learned more about the situation.

"If the imperial army is like this, wouldn't the Son of Heaven have a better impression in their minds?" Yuan Hui whispered, as if afraid of being heard by others.

"That's needless to say?" Liu Xi glanced at Yuan Hui angrily. "If it weren't for this, the people of Quanling would compare the Son of Heaven with Shun?"

Yuan Hui smiled wryly. "If the Son of Heaven is Shun, then what are we?"

Liu Xi was at a loss for words and remained silent for a long time.

Xue Zong took the topic. "Xia Qing, I think...Gao Wenhui's opinion may be reasonable and worth considering."

"It's too early to draw conclusions." Yuan Hui was a little annoyed. "Even if the post road is smooth, it will take about a month for my article and Mr. Liu's article to reach the Central Plains. It will take at least three months for the scholars in the Central Plains to respond, write the article, and form a momentum. What we have to consider now should be to prevent the Sikong Mansion, Tingwei Temple will make a verdict within three months. If a person dies, there is nothing he can do about it.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yuan Hui said again: "The ministers around the emperor are greedy for power and position, and they don't want to stand out. I want to go back to the Central Plains, contact old friends, and see if I can find like-minded celebrities to speak out together."

Just as Liu Xi was about to speak, Xue Zong shook his head calmly.Liu Xi understood, and tightly closed his mouth.

Even now, they also know that it is of little significance to appeal by writing articles.The New Deal has been implemented for nearly ten years, and the style of scholars in the Central Plains has long been different from what they are familiar with.Yuan Hui didn't give up, so let him run around, and they don't have to mix too deeply.

They are all pure scholars, without Yuan Hui's family background and contacts, they can't play much role, and they can't bear the consequences.It may be the most sensible choice to take this opportunity to cut off with Yuan Hui.

Chapter 1260 in one sentence

When Yuan Hui left Quanling, the triumphant Northern Army had just held a prisoner offering ceremony.

Brother Shi Xie and the main subordinate officials were escorted and walked around the main street of Quanling City.Quanling is not that big, and within half a day, everyone knew what Shi Xie who wanted to separate Jiaozhou looked like, so he was naturally compared with the Son of Heaven.

The emperor stayed in Quanling for a year, and the people of Quanling were no strangers to him.

The result of the comparison is only one sentence: overestimate one's ability and seek one's own death.

The common people don't understand those things that are too profound, they just feel that Shi Xie can't compare with the emperor in terms of appearance or age.Such a person, who does not enjoy life at home, has children and grandchildren, insists on rebellion, what is the difference between this and suicide?

Yuan Hui was speechless when he heard such comments on the boat.

He would not argue with strangers, nor would he endorse such conclusions.

In his opinion, Shi Xie had no intention of rebelling at all, at most he just wanted to separate himself from one side, even if he didn't show it.There are many people who are more ambitious than him and who express themselves more bluntly. Why can those people be pardoned, but Shi Xie cannot be pardoned?

He wanted to seek justice for Shi Xie and peace of mind for himself.

He didn't believe that all scholars in the Central Plains agreed with Gao Rou and others' views. He felt that Shi Xie deserved to die, and there would always be someone who would agree with his views and support his ideas.

He went north all the way, and whenever he went to a place, he first checked the nearest mansion newspaper to see if there were any relevant articles.He saw some reports related to Shi Xie, but there were almost no people who complained about Shi Xie.

On the contrary, more and more people responded to Cai Yan's "On Legislation with Benevolence".

At first, Yuan Hui supported this view.Benevolence is the core concept of Confucianism, and benevolence dominates legislation, which is in line with the style of Confucianism, and it also shows that the imperial court's adherence to Confucianism has not followed the old path of Legalism.

But looking at it, he felt something was wrong.

In his view, the main content of Yiren legislation should be to lighten taxation and pay less, and rest with the people, but the relevant regulations discuss how to prohibit mergers and how to encourage practical learning.

The most unacceptable thing for him is to suppress Confucian classics and divert more resources to practical studies.

The most direct point is that there is almost no requirement for Confucian classics in the assessment of middle and lower-level officials. The content is limited to several enlightenment books such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Filial Piety", "Mencius" and "Xunzi", and concentrated in some chapters.The Five Classics, which Confucianism values ​​most, are not involved at all.

Yuan Hui was worried about this.

At the beginning of April, he rushed to Luoyang and asked to see Xun Yu immediately.

It was Chen Qun who received him.

Xun Yu was still inspecting the spring plowing in the county and was not in Luoyang for the time being.

Yuan Hui didn't mind either, he was more familiar with Chen Qun and knew the relationship between the Chen and Xun families.Since Chen Qun was working in Xun Yu's mansion, it was more convenient for him to communicate with Xun Yu.

He explained his reason for coming, and finally asked Chen Qun. "If Duke Taiqiu encounters this situation, how should he deal with it?"

Although he is not from Ruying, he is no stranger to Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Shi, and knows that Chen Shi is not only well-known all over the world, but also a very pragmatic person.

When the father of the great eunuch Zhang Rang passed away, Shilin hated Zhang Rang's reputation, and no one was willing to go to condole, except Chen Shi.Zhang Rang was grateful to Chen Shi for this, and later saw that he helped a lot for Chen Shi's face.

Hearing Yuan Hui mention his grandfather, Chen Qun felt unhappy.

"With my stupidity, I can't figure out the thoughts of my ancestors. I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy you."

Yuan Hui hit a soft nail, knowing that he was impolite, and smiled embarrassingly.

Chen Qun thought for a while, and then said, "Have you come to Luoyang before?"

"I've been here, my memory is still fresh."

"Let's go and have a look again." Chen Qun said, "After seeing the current Luoyang City, you may have some insights."

Yuan Hui was skeptical, but he still listened to Chen Qun's persuasion and decided to wander around Luoyang City.
