[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Lujiang Shu County.

In Zheng's mansion, there is a small school.

Although it is not a spacious room, and the various utensils in it are not half luxurious, it is a place that all the children of the aristocratic family dream of.

Only because the teacher who taught the class was named Zheng Xuan.

At the beginning, Zheng Xuan came here from Xuzhou all the way to crown Ling Han.

After being crowned, Ling Han received the news of Tao Qian's death and hurried to Xuzhou.

After that, another series of things happened.

Therefore, Ling Han did not have time to appoint any formal official position for Zheng Xuan.

Therefore, Zheng Xuan continued to work as a teacher in Lujiang County.

When the aristocratic families in Yangzhou heard about this, they naturally rushed to send their children here, even if they traveled hundreds of miles.

However, Zheng Xuan felt that he was old and was only willing to accept ten people at a time.

These days, Zheng Xuan naturally heard about the ups and downs outside the school.

When he heard for the first time that His Royal Highness the King of Changsha had passed away, he had doubts in his heart.

Later, he learned from his students that Quanrou, the captain of Danyang, suddenly disappeared.

And a long time ago, Quan Rou's younger brother was executed for a crime.

Zheng Xuan had a faint guess in his heart.

The changes that His Highness made in Yangzhou before did easily arouse the hostility of the scholars.

If it weren't for his youth, ability and reputation, Yangzhou would have been in turmoil.

Even if the overall situation is stable, the hostility of a few people is inevitable.

The assassination of His Highness may have something to do with Quan Rou.

Quan Rou suddenly disappeared, it is likely that His Highness returned to Yangzhou alive and executed him secretly.

It's hard to imagine that all the people in Yangzhou, regardless of scholars and civilians, civil servants and generals.

The person who is closest to the truth is actually a rare person who is close to avoiding the world.

And when the news of Ling Han's death on the cliff was spreading.

Zheng Xuan's former students would write letters to ask their teachers, and they would come to visit Lujiang in person, and there were not a few scholars who asked about countermeasures.

Zheng Xuan guessed that His Highness the King of Changsha would make a big move next, so he replied in four words: wait and see.

Most of them chose to act according to Zheng Xuan's words.

Apparently, apart from the planning of Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, the reason why Yangzhou's political situation was able to remain stable before, Zheng Xuan also had a lot of credit for it.

No one knew about this matter except Zheng Xuan himself.

"gentlemen."

In front of a certain book table in the Zhengfu Academy, a young man asked aloud: "Master said: There is no distinction in teaching. People, regardless of high or low, can study and study. But looking at the world today, only the children of aristocratic families can study." Sir, isn't this very inappropriate?"

Zheng Xuan raised his eyes warmly, looking at the young man who asked the question.

The young man has delicate features, and his gestures make people feel extraordinary.

This is the grandson of Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang. His name is Lu Xun, and he is indeed quite outstanding.

It's just that some things are difficult to distinguish clearly because of young age.

Zheng Xuandao: "There are different types of people. Some are smart, some are stupid; some are filial, and some are unworthy. Through education, we can almost eliminate these differences and make them all useful to the court. .This is Confucius’ teaching without discrimination.”

When Lu Xun heard Mr.'s explanation, his eyebrows twitched: Is that what it means?

At this time, Xi Xi, who was once Zheng Xuan's student and has followed Zheng Xuan for many years, hurried over from the outside and said in a low voice, "Sir, His Highness the King of Changsha is here to visit."

Zheng Xuan then said to the disciples below: "Let's come here today."

The crowd stood up and left.

Zheng's main hall.

Ling Han waited here for a while, then saw Zheng Xuan hurriedly approaching.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite."

Ling Han smiled, and winked at the entourage beside him, who immediately handed over the gift.

Ling Han said: "I came here today because I want to ask for help from my husband."

"Mr. crowned this king with his own hands on that day, so he is considered half of my teacher. If this king is called a teacher, sir will not blame him?"

"Your Highness is joking."

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "It is a blessing to be the teacher of His Highness. If there is anything His Highness wants to tell you, it's okay to say it."

Ling Han's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Speaking of which, he didn't speak much with Zheng Xuan when he was crowned last time.

In his opinion, a Confucian like Zheng Xuan must be stereotyped and extremely strict.

Although the other party had taken the initiative to crown him, the high probability was only because of his status as a prince.

Zheng Xuan must be clear about his various extraordinary actions in Yangzhou, and it is hard to say what kind of attitude he will have.

Ling Han has already prepared a long and hard battle that is far better than visiting the thatched cottage.

But at this moment, he found that the other party seemed to have a good impression of him.

Zheng Xuan was not dissatisfied with his outrageous behavior in Yangzhou.

Therefore, Ling Han said: "Mr. Dong Zhongshu once established the Taixue in Chang'an, and then there was a grand occasion of talents under the command of Emperor Wu. Nowadays, the troubled times will end at an unknown time, and it is the time when we need talented people. This king intends In order to set up institutions similar to Taixue in various counties of Yangzhou, called Shuyuan, to provide opportunities for young children in various counties to study."

Hearing this, Zheng Xuan's gaze suddenly became complicated.

He pondered: "Children from various counties? Your Highness hopes that the youngsters from ordinary families can also enter the academy, study and become officials?"

Ling Han didn't answer directly, but quoted scriptures: "Sage Confucius said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning."

This sentence, Zheng Xuan just refuted Lu Xun.

What Kong Shengren said is certainly not wrong, but this does not mean that it applies to all situations.

There are two meanings of teaching without discrimination. Zheng Xuan has no intention of arguing with Lu Xun, but chooses to use another explanation instead.

Because he knew that no matter how confused Lu Xun was, it was impossible to change this.

What's more, those who questioned it when they were young will often become its advocates in the future.

This is the essence of the family standing still.

But it is another matter to say the words "teaching without class" from His Highness's mouth.

Zheng Xuan asked: "Your Highness thinks that what the sage Confucius said about education without distinction means that no matter how high or low they are born, everyone can study and become an official?"

"good."

Ling Han nodded slightly, and said: "Sage Kong has three thousand disciples and seventy sages. Yan Huiyan Lu and others do not have a prominent background, but they can be high-ranking officials and pass on to future generations. As for Zi Zhang and others, they even once If you are convicted and sent to prison, the saint will not treat you lightly. Although Zizhang has not been an official, he is also among the twelve philosophers of Confucianism."

"That's why my king believes that the more talented people are needed in this troubled world, the more common people should be encouraged to study. Those who can stand out from the academy are the talented people that this king needs."

Zheng Xuan sighed, he also had no intention of arguing, but asked: "Your Highness, do you know what it means to wantonly build academies among the people?"

Ling Han said: "This king naturally knows."

Zheng Xuan was silent.

He stared at Ling Han, but saw a determined face.

The eyes are bright and full of blood.It is not the innocence of young people, but a seriousness that knows what is impossible.

Unlike Lu Xun, His Highness's eyes are extremely powerful.

For some reason, Zheng Xuan suddenly felt relieved.

His Highness has an incomparably noble status, a shrewd and calm mind, and a benevolent heart for the people.

Even if the decree issued is not completely correct, why should the old man object?

His Highness is so young, even if he made a mistake for a while, there is still time.

After thinking about this, Zheng Xuan finally asked: "Even if it is very likely to damage His Highness's reputation, and even make Yangzhou unstable, His Highness is determined to do it?"

Ling Han said: "If the teacher is unwilling to support me, I can only put it aside for the time being and leave it for a later date."

"But—in any case, this king will definitely do it."

After a long time, Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "I understand what Your Highness means."

"The old man is willing to serve as the academy's alcove for His Highness."

When Ling Han heard this, he naturally felt happy in his heart.

He doesn't need Zheng Xuan to do too many things.As long as you can get a vain job in the academy, it is enough.

After Ling Han bid farewell.

Xi Ji, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, was puzzled: "Sir, why did you agree to His Highness? Just now you told Mr. Lu..."

It is clearly not what he said.

Zheng Xuandao: "In the long run, this move is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. The reason why I said this to Mr. Lu is because he is the most outstanding child of the Lu family's younger generation, and he will definitely consider it for the Lu family in the future. Understanding the mystery early on will only increase troubles in vain."

"But--"

Xi Xi still couldn't help but questioned: "Now that the world is still undecided, wouldn't it be possible for His Highness to open an academy at this time, so there is a risk that the Yangzhou aristocratic family will defect?"

Even if the teacher supports it, His Highness should be advised to wait for the future.

Zheng Xuan seemed to know what his disciple was thinking, shook his head and said: "Your Highness is doing it now, as a teacher, I can still share a part or two for Your Highness with the little reputation I have accumulated over the years."

Xi Xi was taken aback when he heard this.

Then, he was shocked.

When the teacher said such words, did he make up his mind in his heart: If there are problems in the future, should he take all the responsibility on himself?

Others may not be able to take responsibility from His Highness, but his teacher, the most respected Confucianist by scholars today, has such ability.

But once so.

Not only did the teacher's decades of hard work come to naught, but in the future, he might leave his infamy in the history books through the ages.

You know, the historian himself must be a member of the family!

Thinking of this, Xi Ji couldn't help but said: "Teacher, why are you so..."

"At the beginning, you determined to spend your whole life sorting out and annotating Confucian classics. It was nothing more than a crowning ceremony for His Highness. Why do you want to wade into this muddy water now?"

"Being a teacher for decades, I focused on Confucian classics, and finally made some small achievements."

Zheng Xuandao: "In my teacher's opinion, King Changsha is the most outstanding prince in the history of the Han Dynasty."

"As a teacher, if you can still help His Highness and do your best for the people in the world during your lifetime. Even if you are notorious after death, what does it matter?"

Xi Ji felt incomprehensible.

For the first time, he couldn't agree with the teacher's words.

Even if you don't count Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wu, the achievements of Emperor Guangwu are obviously far better than His Royal Highness Changsha King.

As for the reputation of future generations... also cannot ignore it.

But Xi Xi didn't make a sound.

He knew from a long time ago that his teacher admired King Changsha very much.

Sometimes Xi Ji felt that it must be because His Highness's father and grandfather really did a poor job.

Of course, he only thought about this in his heart, and didn't dare to tell others.

The author has something to say: I think the author only planned to write 35 words in this article, but I didn’t expect that there are so many things left to write...
