Huan Rong

The arrival of Huan Rong and his party set off a heated discussion in Jiankang City.

On the day when the fleet entered the city, there were many discussions in the streets and alleys. It was said that Mr. Huan had an extraordinary appearance and bearing, and was comparable to Mr. Wang and Mr. Xie Lang.

The Qinhuai River was covered with rain of flowers, and it took two full days for it to flow down the river.

When it comes to the Duke of Huainan, it is inevitable to talk about the prosperity of Youzhou, the achievements of Youzhou soldiers in the Northern Expedition, and the benevolent government of Youzhou and Henan.

Today's Youzhou is no longer the barren frontier.Jiankang people are somewhat envious of the wealth of the local people.

The sea salt, white sugar and other novelty products produced in Yandu and other places are talked about by everyone, and they always mention a few words after dinner.

In contrast, the limelight of the emperor's wedding was overshadowed, and it was not as good as before.

This is true among the people, as well as in the court.

The people kept talking about the envoy Huan in three sentences, and they often mentioned the grand occasion when the fleet entered the city.Those who are well-informed should talk about Huanrong's various policies and means in governing Youzhou and Yuzhou, so as to appear different and attract everyone's attention.

After careful consideration, most of the Jiankang gentry put down their dignity and took the initiative to hand over invitations to the Huainan County Government.

The Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun, who had a covenant with Huan Rong, came first. Wang Xianzhi and Xie Xuan led the troops outside, and they were also the descendants of the princes, which showed the importance they attached to Huan Rong.

With him taking the lead, there was an endless stream of visitors from various families.

Not to mention, all kinds of beautiful men met each other, handsome and romantic, each with its own merits, Huan Rong was really stimulated once.Sima Daofu almost didn't want to enter the palace, and stayed at home every day to indulge his eyesight.

The Wang family in Taiyuan was still in filial piety, and it was inconvenient to visit the door, so they still asked their in-laws to come forward on their behalf to show their goodwill to the Huan family.

This kindness came a bit suddenly, and Huan Rong couldn't think of the reason for a while.It wasn't until Mr. Xie's husband passed through the mansion that the incident on the day of the funeral was revealed in his words, and he suddenly realized it.

What to say?

With such a deadly intensity, Sima Yao actually wants to abdicate voluntarily, right?

In any case, the change of Taiyuan Wang's attitude is indeed a good thing for Huan Rong.Even if the other party will not become an immediate ally, as long as he stands on the sidelines when he makes a move, it is already the greatest help.

Thinking about the joints, Huan Rong raised a smile, and said to Wang's in-laws who came to visit for the second time: "Rong already understands the meaning of Marquis Lantian. Please tell Fan Gong on your behalf. He has heard that Marquis Lantian is well versed in the way of Go, and Rong has admired him for a long time. If we can meet face to face in the future, I hope we can talk with experts."

There is no need to speak too clearly, if you speak too clearly, it will be inferior.Saying half in this way and keeping the other half reveals part of the meaning, and the rest depends on understanding, which is in line with the current positions of both parties.

Fan Ning nodded in approval, he had a very good impression of Huan Rong.

Fan Ning's father was the prefect of Dongyang in his early years, and because of his face, there was a rift with Huan Wen.When Sima Huan was alive, no one in the Fan family chose officials.Even though Sima Yu issued an imperial edict to conquest, Fan Ning failed to enter the court as an official.

Sima Yu and Huan Wen passed away one after another, and Sima Yao ascended the throne. This was originally an opportunity for the Fan family to recover.

It's a pity that the young emperor is an out-and-out puppet, without the vision and means of his own father, and he has succeeded to the throne for three years, but he has not given a life.In addition, the Wang family of Langya re-entered the court and competed with the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Xie family of Chenjun for power, so naturally he was not happy to see the Fan family entering the court.

As a result, although Fan Ning has a great reputation, he still has to be judged by Dazhong Zhengzheng, and he still has no official position.When he came to see Huan Rong, he could only be called "Fan Gong".

Historically, after Sima Yao succeeded to the throne, Fan Ning was soon awarded the magistrate of Yuhang County, and practiced Confucian ethics in the local area, which was respected by those with lofty ideals.Later, he was promoted to the prefect of Linhuai, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yangsui County.

However, the variable Huan Rong appeared, and Fan Ning's career took a 180-degree turn.

The county magistrate of Yuhang fell into the hands of the Wang family of Langya, and the prefect of Linhuai didn't even think about it.Huan Rong let Wang's in-laws go to his lair to be an official because of the hydrogen in his head.

Without local political achievements, it is even more empty talk to be enshrined in the court.

Fan Ning has calculated his forty years based on the average life expectancy of people nowadays, and if he continues to wait, the hope is really slim.

In this regard, Fan Ning was also open-minded. If he did not become an official, he would not be an official. He simply wrote a book and asked Taiyuan Wang's help to set up an academy in Dongyang to spread enlightenment in the local area.

When the matter of running a school was mentioned, Fan Ning immediately became full of energy, and he couldn't stop talking.To describe it in eight words, it is "eloquent and eloquent".

As far as its school-running philosophy is concerned, it is already ahead of the times.

However, when Huan Rong talked about Youzhou Academy, and learned about the courses set up in the academy, as well as the regulations such as teaching students according to their aptitude, Fan Ning was amazed and admired.

"There is an ancient saying that virtue is like hair. Whether it is implemented or not depends entirely on the will of the people. Youzhou's benevolent government is very capable.

"Duke Fan is too famous." Huan Rong shook his head and said, "I can't bear to do my best to seek the well-being of the people. If you are a shepherd, you should take care of the people of one side. It is a man's job to seek government in his position."

Fan Ning seemed to be touched by these words, pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, put his hands flat in front of his body, and bowed solemnly to Huan Rong.

Huan Rong was not prepared, and was really surprised.He hurriedly stood up, and said in his mouth, "Fan Gong, why is this?"

"Ning has an unfeeling request, please allow the county magistrate."

"Duke Fan just ask." Huan Rong held Fan Ning's arm and said seriously, "If you can do it, Rong will definitely not refuse."

If it can't be done, he can't help it, can't he?

"Ning Youzhi runs a local school, and wants to imitate the regulations of Youzhou Academy. Please donate to the county magistrate, Ning is very grateful."

After the words fell, Fan Ning bowed deeply again, unable to get up for a long time.

Obviously looking elegant and unrestrained, he has the demeanor of a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but his strength is really not small.Fan Ning decided to bow down, Huan Rong gritted his teeth but couldn't stop him.

Fortunately, he was running a school, so it was not difficult for Huan Rong.

It will be a rare good thing if we can take the opportunity to promote the charter and teaching philosophy of Youzhou Academy.

However, some things must be made clear in advance, so as to avoid misunderstandings between each other, and there will be no small thanks for the help in the end, but a lot of complaints.

"Fan Gong has this intention, and Rong Zi will not refuse it. However, there are some things that need to be reported to Fan Gong in detail. Fan Gong can think about it carefully before making a decision."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"What was said in Cai Rong's words just now includes only part of the academy's regulations. Youzhou Academy not only teaches Lao Zhuang, Confucius and Mencius, but also has the study of Legalism and military strategism. All students who enter the academy must diligently practice the six arts of a gentleman, have the ability to write, write, hold The ability to go into battle with a gun."

"In addition, the school is now divided into two schools. The East School studies various theories, while the West School focuses on craftsmanship."

"Craftsmanship?" Fan Ning said in amazement, "Craftsmanship can also be learned?"

"Why not?" Huan Rong raised his eyebrows, "Did Mr. Fan hear of the three genius doctors in Jian'an in the past?"

The so-called Jian'an three genius doctors refer to the genius doctor Hua Tuo, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, and Dong Feng, a famous doctor of Soochow who passed down "Xinglin Chunnuan".

The purpose of mentioning these three people is to let Fan Ning understand that apart from the Confucianism he admired and the Taoism popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, these medical techniques that can cure diseases and save people can also be regarded as theories.

In addition, crafts that are considered unrefined, including carpentry, cast iron, and machinery, can also be taught.

"The academy has exams every quarter, and those with excellent grades will be rewarded. Those who fail four times in a row will either extend their class hours or be expelled from the academy."

"Everyone who enters the Western Academy must stay in Youzhou Workshop for three years after completing their studies."

"Those who have completed their studies in the Eastern Academy will first be judged by the prefectural government, and then take the administrative examination. Those with excellent grades can be admitted to the prefectures, counties and counties as officials. They can also join the army if they are not officials. Otherwise, they can stay in the academy."

"If you don't want to, so what?" Fanning couldn't help asking.

"In this troubled world, every husband must have some ambitions." Huan Rong didn't answer directly, but said with a smile, "Fan Gong believes that a person who has acquired a whole body of skills, lives in a border state, has strong neighbors in the north, and has learned a lot." How will it be?"

Since the development of Youzhou Academy, it has somewhat deviated from the track set by Huan Rong.But this kind of deviation is for the better, and there is no need to deliberately stop it.

As I said before, today is still a troubled time, and in the event of a military disaster, no matter whether it is a noble family or a commoner, it will be precarious.

What Huan Rong wanted was an army that could sweep away foreigners and swallow up mountains and rivers, and what he wanted was an official who could manage his own affairs in his position, who might not necessarily love the people like a son, but could earnestly perform his duties.

The development of Youzhou Academy made him see this hope.

According to the words of later generations, the Academy is a complete hodgepodge, integrating the functions of a university, a military academy, and a technical school.The talents who came out of the academy, almost without exception, all had the ambition to expel foreigners, restore China, and even expand their territories.

Huan Rong thought it was due to his own school-running philosophy, but he didn't know that after listening to several gentlemen's lectures, he finally understood that compared with these Legalists, Military Schools and even Confucianism, his courage seemed a little "small".

Today's Confucianism is not like that of later generations.

Huan Rong is not a talent in this area, but he can clearly understand that the Confucian scholars of this period even have a touch of Legalism.Not to mention the Legalists, the Qin State developed rapidly back then, and then unified the six countries, and what it pursued was the Legalists' doctrine.

Looking at the concepts instilled in the students by these gentlemen, and listening to the ambitions issued by the students, Huan Rong suddenly found that it is not difficult to shake history, but the difficulty is how to grasp the direction and let history follow a good direction develop.

Huan Rong talked a lot about the college's regulations and different details.

Fanning listened carefully all the time, and asked a few times, all pointing to the point.After Huan Rong heard it, he also felt enlightened.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became. They talked for two full hours, but they still had more to say.In the end, Huan Rong simply ordered a banquet to be left for dinner, and the conversation continued after the meal.

The other visitors failed to see the real master, knowing that it was Fan Ning who was hosting a banquet, several thoughts appeared in their minds.

Fan Ning himself has no official position, but he is related to the Taiyuan Wang family, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.I visited the Duke of Huainan twice, and in all likelihood, he was inseparable from the Taiyuan Wang family.

During this long conversation between the two, the Duke of Huainan even hosted a banquet in the mansion. Could it be that the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Long Kanghuan family are about to shake hands and make peace?

If the guess is true, Jiankang may experience a shock.

Huan Rong doesn't care what others think.At this moment, he was raising his glass to Fan Ning, his eyes were full of golden light.

Are you a real educator?

Not to mention the real talent and learning, he also has a forward-looking vision. More importantly, he is very prestigious among the people and has a strong network of relationships.If he can be drawn to his side, and by the way attract famous people who are unwilling to choose officials but have the ambition to educate and educate people, it will no longer be a dream to run schools across the country!

Love to chat?

It's ok!

If some gentlemen from the academy come forward, they will definitely be able to get around in front of their eyes, and they will get a headache when they mention the word "clear talk".

Compared with eloquence, who can beat a strategist?

As for the fact that these people were brought back from Chang'an, will Mr. Huan say?

of course not.

After a few cups of fine wine, the relationship between the two became closer.The more Fan Ning looked at Huan Rong, the more pleasing to his eyes, as for what his father said about the Huan family's "sinister, cunning, and wolfish ambitions", they all forgot about it.

For him, it doesn't matter whether the Huan family has the ambition to succeed the Jin Dynasty or not.

The important thing is what is the nature of Huan Rong.

He can love the people, promote enlightenment, lead the army to the Northern Expedition, and restore China's country, which is more important than anything else!

In the final analysis, the Jin Dynasty is called orthodox, relative to its neighbors to the north.

Back then, Sima Yi and his son were officials in Cao Wei, and they were ministers.Sima Yan proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Lord Wei, regardless of whether he was in the Zen position or not. At that time, wouldn't he be a traitor?

Over the banquet, the two talked more and more speculatively.

It's not that Huan Rong has a little conscience, and Fan Ning is afraid that he will directly sign the "deed of sale" if he is not thick and dark.

Compared with Huan Rong's proud spring breeze, Sima Yao's complexion was dark, sitting in the Tai Chi Hall full of anger.

The eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head or breathe, for fear that the emperor would take his anger out on him.

Every time I go to Changle Palace, the emperor will be angry when he returns, and the up and down of Taiji Hall are clear.

The auspicious day of the wedding was set, and the Wang family often walked around Taicheng, and the emperor's anger index soared even more.Every time the two met, as long as the Queen Mother was not in front of her, the Wang family would not give Sima Yao a good face at all.She didn't say it clearly in her words, but her demeanor was very clear. She didn't like Sima Yao's background!

How is the emperor?

There is a mother of a Kunlun maidservant, who is still looked down upon.

Not counting this, Princess Nankang went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and the news revealed that the Huan family was going to discuss marriage with the Zhou family.It should be known that Sima Yao had put in a lot of effort to win over the Zhou family, and suddenly hearing about this marriage was like a thunderclap.

Even if the Patriarch of the Zhou family sent someone to spread the word, saying that the marriage proposal was false and that it was true in order to reduce Huan Rong's defense, Sima Yao was still worried and sent someone directly to the Zhou family to spread the word. Take Zhou's daughter as the queen!

As for Wang, he didn't like it at all.When the power is in control, it is not just abolished.

Zhou Chu was very grateful on the surface, but his face was full of ridicule when he turned his back.

"A slave is a slave after all!"

Hearing the servant's report that Huainan County government hosted a banquet in honor of Fan Ning, Zhou Chu's heart moved slightly.

Contacting Princess Nankang and Princess Xin'an County to enter Taicheng for two consecutive days, Princess Xin'an County even brought two handsome men with her, which caused a lot of discussion in the city. On the contrary, Duke Huainan's secret arrangement was unknown, and Zhou Chu even It is a firm choice before.

"After all these years of dormancy, it's time for the Zhou family to choose a hero and make a comeback for the whole family."
