Han Dao world

After Zhou Zhong left the meeting angrily, the Son of Heaven confessed to his ministers, which not only showed his expectation, but also showed his tolerance.

The young emperor does not avoid academic disputes, but focuses on solving the immediate problems first, what's wrong?

In contrast, it seems inappropriate to care about etiquette and ancestral system, and it even seems to be deliberately disruptive.

There are many such people, and Zhou Zhong unexpectedly became a typical example and was recorded in the annals of history.

No matter what his intentions are, whether he still considers himself a Hanchen in the future, this stain cannot be washed away.

This is murder.

This is by no means the emperor's intention for a while, but on purpose.

After all, the origin of the Zhou family in Lujiang and the Yuan family in Runan is not a secret. The emperor didn't know it before, but he must know it now.

Despite all kinds of reluctance in his heart, Zhang Xi could only follow Situ Zhao Wen to express his position, support the emperor's decision, put aside the academic dispute for the time being, and solve the problem first with a pragmatic attitude.

Situ and Sikong expressed their views, and other ministers also expressed their views.

The meeting was back on track, and Liu Xie announced the continuation.He announced one more rule before anyone else could speak.

The minutes of the meeting are for reference only, and there is no right or wrong. Everyone can express their views and speak freely without any psychological burden.If you feel that these words are not suitable to be recorded in the annals of history, you can declare it when you sign after the meeting, and you can anonymize your name when you write history in the future.

After hearing this, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relieved.

Who dares to speak when thinking of saying the wrong thing and it may leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?

Liu Xie looked at Song Guo. "You have been the governor of Bingzhou before, why don't you tell me about the situation in Bingzhou?"

Zhou Zhong was driven away, and Song Guo was the happiest.Hearing that the emperor ordered the general, Song Guo stood up, strode to the map, and bowed to Liu Xie.

"I take the liberty to explain the situation in Bingzhou for His Majesty."

Liu Xie bowed slightly. "I have Lao Songqing."

Song Guo turned around to the ministers, exchanged glances with Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie, and smiled knowingly.

Regardless of whether the emperor did it intentionally or unintentionally, after driving away Zhou Zhong, one of the representatives of the Guandong ministers, he appointed Song Guo, a native of Guanzhong, to explain the situation. This is an attitude in itself.

Kansai people - especially Guanzhong people - the opportunity has come.

-

Bingzhou is similar to Youzhou and Liangzhou, and it is connected with Qianghu, which is a veritable frontier.

But Bingzhou has its unique features.

In terms of history, Bingzhou is the land of three generations of Longxing, which is far older than Youzhou and Liangzhou.

In terms of geography, Youzhou borders Jizhou and is far away from the Central Plains.Liangzhou borders Guanzhong and can break into Guanzhong, but it is quite far away from Luoyang.Only Bingzhou is narrow from east to west and long from north to south. Along the Fenshui River Valley, you can drive straight to Pujin.Or take the way to Shangdang, cross Tianjingguan, and drink horses and Mengjin.

Because they are often harassed by Hu people, and the people of Bingzhou are aggressive, the cavalry of Bingzhou and Liangzhou cavalry are both called elites.

From the security perspective of the Central Plains, Bingzhou's threat is by no means comparable to that of Youzhou and Liangzhou.

Because of this, the imperial court's suppression of Bingzhou was consistent.

The last time Bingzhou had a famous minister of the third rank was probably Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty.

As the Huns moved inward, the situation in Bingzhou became even worse.

The Huns enjoyed the preferential treatment from the court, but they did not have to bear taxes. The population increased rapidly, which put great pressure on the locals of Bingzhou.In order to survive, many Bingzhou people began to do business with the Huns, and even took the initiative to become Huns in order to avoid rent and tax, which further promoted the expansion of the power of the Huns.

This is also the reason why more and more Huns came to Bingzhou.

When Bingzhou had the largest population, there were about 11 households, of which Taiyuan and Shangdang counties accounted for about half.

When the Huns moved into the Great Wall at most, there were only more than [-] households, but now they have more than [-] households.If it is not controlled, the population of the Xiongnu will exceed that of the Han, and Bingzhou will really become the land of the Hu people.

In fact, in counties other than Taiyuan and Shangdang, the population of the Xiongnu was equal to or even exceeded that of the Han.Counties and counties exist in name only, even if there are prefects and county magistrates, it is difficult for government orders to go out of the government and county.

It may be an accident that the Fuluo tribe stayed in Hedong, but if this trend continues, the Huns will not be too far to officially enter Hedong.

How to deal with the Huns is not only a question of whether they can keep Bingzhou, but a question of whether they can keep China's well-dressed and prosperous land.

After Song Guo finished speaking, the big tent fell into a deathly silence.

For these officials, they knew that there were a lot of Huns in Bingzhou, but they really knew how many Huns there were in Bingzhou. Most of them only had a feeling, and they didn't know how serious the situation was.

After listening to Song Guo's explanation, he realized that most of Bingzhou had been reduced to the pastures of the Huns. Not only did it fail to protect the Central Plains, but it became a threat to the Central Plains.

The Xiliang people have already killed the Central Plains so much that blood is flowing all over the ground. Once the Huns, who are more barbaric than the Xiliang people, enter the Central Plains, what kind of tragedy will it be?

Countless people had cold backs and numb hands and feet.

Chapter 166

Although the master once wanted to live in Jiuyi because of his unsuccessful career, after all, he just talked about it, and it was impossible to really go.

Let the scholar-bureaucrats at this time associate with the barbarians, or even profess their ministers, their self-esteem will not allow it.

The Eastern Han Dynasty raised scholars for a hundred years, but the scholar-bureaucrats were not the scholars in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and their hearts were full of the arrogance of Chinese clothes.They are still accustomed to writing heroic and grand fuss like "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription", and they disdain to explain scriptures for barbarians.

Knowing the current situation in Bingzhou, whether to crusade against the Xiongnu is no longer a problem, but the question becomes whether there is strength to crusade, how to crusade, and how to resettle the Huns in the end.

The court now wants money but has no money, and food but no food. How will this battle be fought?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty crusade against the Xiongnu, backed by more than [-] savings.

Dou Xian broke the Northern Huns and granted Yanran Mountain, which was also based on the strong national power at that time.

What does a big man have today?

All the ministers whispered to each other and talked a lot.

Jia Xu, who had kept her eyes closed all this time, opened her eyes, stood up, tidied her clothes in a leisurely manner, and bowed her hands in salute.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Liu Xie secretly smiled, you are finally willing to speak.

"Sir, please speak."

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

The emperor actually called Jia Xu a gentleman?

This is an honor that none of the three men have.

No matter how noble the Sangong is, he is still a minister after all.

The teacher is the teacher.

To be a master of the emperor is the dream of many scholars.

For a while, I don't know how many people breathed heavily and were aggrieved.

There are many famous officials in the Kanto region present, but a person from Xiliang took the lead.

For a while, even Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie felt a little uneasy.

Jia Xu was also stunned, and her calm and indifferent attitude broke her defense in an instant.

Half moved, half frozen—feeling that I was frozen.

It's too cold to be high, and thousands of arrows pierce the heart.

It's one thing to call him respectful in private, but even Jia Xu, who is as seasoned as Jia Xu, finds it a bit unbearable to call him that in front of ministers and ministers.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister."

"It's right." Liu Xie said with a smile: "If there is no master's clever plan, how can we defeat Li Jue, restore the majesty of the court, and get tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

"I'm ashamed." Jia Xu quickly interrupted Liu Xie.You can't let the emperor say it anymore, the more the emperor praises him, the more dangerous he is. "Although I am dull, I am willing to help His Majesty break the plan of the Huns."

Liu Xie smiled happily.

You just need to be sensible, otherwise I will be more polite to you.

"A few years ago, I followed Niu Fu in Shanxi and fought against the Huns. As the ministers said, this group of Huns is a family of bereaved dogs, and it is not a problem. Your Majesty's personal conquest, if you attack, you will be defeated. I boldly speculate, how many From the mansion to Pingyang, Huchuquan must be ordered to plead guilty."

Liu Xie was noncommittal.

Some of the ministers nodded in agreement, some disagreed, and some waited to see the joke.

Jia Xu regained his composure. "However, the Huns' civil strife is a great opportunity. If they can attack through the gap, they will be destroyed. I believe that the trouble of the Huns is not in fighting, but in being difficult to eradicate. If they go away, they will come back, and if they move inward, they will raise tigers. "

Zhao Wen stroked his beard and nodded frequently in agreement.

"Is there a way to eradicate the waiter?"

Jia Xu turned around and greeted Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen came back to his senses, his expression was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "In Yanxi, Zhang Ranming was the general of the Xiongnu. He used both civil and martial arts, and gave both kindness and power. He decided to control the Xiongnu by sitting or lying down. Therefore, I think that if you want to eradicate the troubles of the Huns, you should follow Zhang Ranming's story. Enlightenment. Those who can be used for me will be kept as eagles and dogs, and the elite will be taken to supplement the Northern Army. The weak will herd cattle and horses. Those who cannot be used for me will have their heads taken down and passed on to the grasslands to demonstrate the country's prestige."

Liu Xie was skeptical.

Zhang Huan is a famous general, but his policy of appeasing the Huns can only achieve temporary results, and has not achieved long-term stability.

Is Jia Xu's theory a bit exaggerated?

Could it be that he is testing me again?

Liu Xie looked at the officials and unexpectedly found that everyone was in a good mood, many of them even nodded in agreement with what Jia Xu said.

Among them, Zhao Wen's reaction was the strongest.

Although he didn't ask questions as before, he whispered to Zhang Xi beside him, and it was obvious that he agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion.

After a while, Liu Xie reacted.

Jia Xu is not exaggerating, but cites a suitable example, which arouses the dedication of Confucian scholars.

Among Liangzhou Sanming, the images of Huangfugui and Zhang Huan are relatively positive, not as bad as Duan Jiong's reputation.On the one hand, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan are clean and self-conscious, and do not attach themselves to eunuchs. Instead, they try their best to get close to Confucian scholars, almost kneeling and licking; of.

Jia Xu's exaggeration and emphasis on Zhang Huan's image as a Confucian general fit the appetite of scholars.

Advocating enlightenment also caters to the great ambition of scholars to educate the world morally.

If it's just conquests, military men make meritorious deeds, and scholars can't share the fat, they naturally have no interest, and they may find faults in the eggs if they have nothing to do.

If education is emphasized, scholars will have a place to use their talents, and they can make meritorious deeds and become famous.

Only with the same interests and the same desire can we have the same heart and one mind.

Jia Xu is trying his best to win the support of civil servants and reduce resistance.

"Sir, do you mean enlightenment?" Liu Xie was not at ease, and asked again tentatively.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's words are true. Since ancient times, sage kings ruled the world with both civil and military means. Taking Guanzhong as an example, since King Ping of Zhou moved to the east and Qin Feizi lived there, the old country of Zhou has been reduced to a place outside the Huai Dynasty. Accepted by the clothes and crowns of the Central Plains. The Han Dynasty prospered the world, established Guanzhong as the capital, and adopted Dong Zhongshu’s strategy to promote the Taixue. For a hundred years, Guanzhong was full of literary and literary, with the legacy of Zhou. This is also the merit of enlightenment.”

Before Jia Xu finished his sentence, Shi Sun Rui praised him: "Of course. What the servant said is quite in line with the kingly way, and the concubine is almost like the emperor's way."

Grand Chief Qiu Miaosi couldn't help but snorted: "The servant is exaggerating. Although Guanzhong is the hometown of Zhou, if it is gloomy and literary, it is not Chang'an. Today's Luoyang is the city of Duke Zhou. It is a pity that it is now being used by Dong Zhuo. Burned to ashes."

Jia Xu's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard of it.

Shi Sun Rui couldn't help but said: "The city of the Duke of Zhou is in Luoyang, but the government of the Duke of Zhou is in Guanzhong. The Zhou that the master follows is the Zhou of Haojing, not the Zhou of Chengzhou. Da Changqiu regrets Luoyang, and his heart is pitiful. It is not advisable to be vague."

Miao Si was furious and stood up. "Wei Wei wants to discuss learning with me?"

Liu Xie was speechless.

Shi Sun Rui raised his eyebrows lightly, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Elder Changqiu wants to talk about studies, but Rui dare not accompany you. It's just that your majesty has an edict that today we only talk about government affairs, regardless of academics. Please don't ignore it. Wouldn't it be a pity for Shi to blast him out for the crime of despising the imperial edict."

Miao Si was at a loss for words, glanced at Liu Xie with a guilty conscience, and sat down resentfully.

Sikong Zhang Xi coughed and took up the topic. "Master, although enlightenment is a kingly way, it is not easy to do. Li Shi is still a subject of the Han family, and he is already stubborn and uneducable, which makes Situ dizzy. Can the Huns be like beasts, but they can also be educated? And education is not a one-day effort. I am afraid that the water in the East China Sea is so vast that it will be difficult to rescue the fish that have dried up."

Liu Xie thinks so.

Enlightenment is indeed imperative, but it is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

Jia Xu's plan is too pragmatic and difficult to implement.

Chapter 167 Going Further

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Xi.

"Sikong Ke still remembers the old Taifu Ma Wengshu (Ma Rixun)?"

Zhang Xi's eyes darkened. "Of course I remember. It's just..." He smacked his lips, hesitant to speak, with an extremely unnatural expression.
