Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2007 Salt and Iron Victory, Compromise Conference

Little Ice River, or "Great Cold Period", in order to prevent panic problems, it is only a secret known to very few people. After all, it is not only the people of later generations who grab salt to prevent radiation and then eat it for three years. .Therefore, most of the people under Fei Qian's rule just complained about the weather, and then they still did what they did.

Among Chang'an, the place that is most popular with the children of the gentry is also the most noble place. Naturally, it is the Qinglong Temple, and they will subconsciously go around it when they are free.And now, in the Qinglong Temple, a new bookstore has been opened, which is even more sought after by the children of the noble family.

The big Han people, in fact, many people are a bit talkative, because in the Han Dynasty, there were really too few leisure and entertainment things, and a little bit of different information would be publicized everywhere, especially these young people. Some gentry children, in order to show their uniqueness, like to talk about things that others don't know, and this newly opened bookstore can obviously give these gentry children more advantages in this regard.

Because in the bookstore, all the books for sale have been verified by Cai Yan and the female officials of Zhiyin Academy.It has been proved that these books lack many things that later generations intentionally or undoubtedly mixed in, and are the closest to the original works, so they are naturally very popular among the children of the gentry.

It’s like before everyone watched pirated copies and couldn’t find the genuine ones, so the boss didn’t laugh at the second child, but now there are genuine ones and they’re not expensive, so it’s not something to be commended if you still engage in pirated copies. It may even make people wonder if there is something wrong with his character.

In the Han Dynasty, being suspected of character was almost equivalent to a useless person, so as soon as the Cai's Bookstore here in Qinglong Temple opened, a large number of people gathered almost every time a new book came out, even if they already had this If you read the book, you will check it carefully to see if there is any discrepancy between your own book collection and Cai's book, so as not to be laughed at.

Cai, or Cai Yan can do this because she has a good father.

It is better to have a father than to have a thousand blessings. This is an unbreakable truth through the ages.Don't believe the nonsense about the starting line, the real starting line is drawn at the moment of birth.Of course, acquired efforts will indeed change some, but when the original class is not overthrown, most of them are isolated phenomena, just like a brave man defeating a dragon.

Cai Yong has a good knowledge of classics and history, Ci Fu, and calligraphy, and he especially likes to collect books. It is said that he collected more than ten thousand volumes in his heyday. However, in history, most of his collections and his personal works were lost during the war.In the original history, Cai Yan stayed Hu for 12 years before being taken back by Cao Cao. He said that he had read 400 volumes of books in his home collection, but in the end, only more than [-] volumes could be written silently.

But in this time and space, because there is no such miserable experience, the power of the Dahan Royal Library is slowly revealed.

Before the establishment of the Zhiyin Academy, Cai Yan was already completing some of the lost books of the Cai family, but it was not very convenient to be in the academy at that time. Cai Yan's subordinates, and the literary quality of these gentry ladies is even higher than that of ordinary male gentry children. After all, boys are more playful, and if a girl is crazy about playing, no one will dare to read it unless she is born as a princess. marry

Therefore, with the help of several female officials who are proficient in writing and ink, Cai Yan silently wrote nearly a hundred articles revised by Cai Yong or created by him, including poems, fus, steles, euphemisms, inscriptions, praises, admonitions, Hanging, Lunyi, Zhuwen, Zhangbiao, Secretary, etc., also made corrections to some scriptures with large discrepancies, almost as if they were engraved on stone tablets like Cai Yong back then.

Sima Hui, an old fox, was naturally not to be outdone. For most of the scrolls, he happily wrote the "preface", saying that it was confirmed by Sima.Zheng Xuan was relatively reserved at first, but later joined in and added a lot of postscripts, and even rushed to write the preface for the new book that Cai Yan Zhiyin Institute newly collated...

Fei Qian didn't want to fight for this, because Fei Qian didn't intend to go too far on the road of a scholar of letters, and it was enough to maintain his current reputation. He felt that he should devote more energy to more On a macro level.

Of course, in a broad sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of "cultural rule".

"Is there no new book yet? 』A son of the gentry passed through Cai's bookstore like a horse monkey, expressing his resentment for not adding more, er, no new books.

"It's going to be a few more days... But, have you heard?Your Majesty has opened up the theory of salt and iron in Yingchuan...』

"what?Salt and iron theory? 』

"Ahem, don't you know?Aha, then what, I have something else to do...』

"Stop!Speak clearly before leaving! 』

The guy who started the conversation was caught, and he had to pretend to be "forced", and with "all kinds of helplessness", he talked about the big talk about salt and iron in Xu County...

……(*≧∪≦)(▽)/…

Unlike Chang'an, where the hussars are located, Liu Xie's life is not so comfortable.But when people live, they must pursue something after all. Everyone knows Liu Xie's pursuit, but everyone doesn't approve of it.

Is Liu Xie's mind hard to guess?
Obviously not.

In fact, the idea of ​​the Salt and Iron Theory that Liu Xie wants to hold is not very good. People in the court hall in Xu County can basically guess what Liu Xie wants to do...

Does Liu Xie really care about salt and iron?Are you going to talk about salt and iron?
It's like, did Emperor Han Zhao really care about salt and iron?Do you really want to discuss the pros and cons?
The limited few times Liu Xie played in public, it didn't seem to be very good. This time, it was a rare opportunity for Liu Xie to appear on the stage with a positive image. As for being forced by the "rebellious army" to cry In this case, the children of the gentry can selectively ignore it.

The current salt and iron are somewhat the same as those of Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty, but they are also somewhat different. After all, the theory of salt and iron back then was apparently a debate between court officials and virtuous literati, but in fact it was a compromise made by Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty.

But this time, the Salt and Iron Theory held by Liu Xie is still a kind of compromise, but there is no debate, and it is more divided.

In Luoyang, most of the more formal court debates like this would be held in the Deyang Hall, but after the capital was moved to Xu County, the size of the imperial palace was naturally reduced a lot, although the main hall was also called "Deyang Hall" , but the size is much smaller, and I usually don’t feel that much, but now that there are more people invited, it seems aggrieved and crowded.

According to the rules, officials with more than two thousand stones are eligible to enter the main hall to meet the emperor. Generally, those with a thousand stones or so can only stand at the entrance of the main hall to speak. Talk back at the stone steps outside the hall, but this time, there are too many people, so it becomes a semi-open, and there are not so many strict standards.

Of course, Liu Xie thinks this meeting is very successful, at least a lot of people came.

Before the Salt and Iron Conference, it was natural that the representatives of the village elders presented offerings to the emperor, and the eunuch of the Shaofu Taiguan represented the emperor and gave wine and food to the presenters.

The second step is also a very interesting step. The county officials from all over the country have contributed atlases, and there are even atlases about Zhonghe Beidi...

The area that Cao Cao can control naturally does not include Guanzhong and other places, but the big Han is still a whole in name, and Liu's airs cannot be overthrown, so it is a natural operation to pretend to send someone to represent Guanzhong and other places.In other words, in fact, Fei Qian has been represented unconsciously, and it must also be a traditional Chinese art skill.

In fact, since Emperor Guangwu, emperors have often held debates similar to salt and iron, or debates on scriptures, or debates on current affairs, but this time Liu Xie was his first time, so he was a little nervous.

"Xu Xia Chujian, with incomplete doctorates and a slightly weakened style of writing, makes it difficult to debate classics.Now that the capital is established, the world will gradually become more and more prosperous, and the talents of the four directions will be everywhere, and the talents and wisdom of the eight wastes will be absorbed, and the country will be rejuvenated, so this discussion...』

Although what was said at the beginning was all nonsense, empty words and lies, most people still listened respectfully, as if these words were true.

Is it really difficult to hold such a meeting because of the early establishment of Xu County and the inadequacy of doctors?Obviously not.Is it possible that the Han emperors of all dynasties stipulated how many people must be required when questioning and debating?Liu Xie wanted to do it before, but Cao Cao didn't want Liu Xie to do it. As for why he didn't want to, why is he willing now?

Ha ha, everyone actually knows it.

This is a compromise.

Just like the earliest theory of salt and iron, in simple terms, it was the gentry and the court competing for interests, and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was willing to hold such a debate meeting, the original intention of which is already obvious...

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was obviously much worse than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty encountered such a situation, he might not be able to find the word "compromise" even after searching the dictionary.

That's right, the first big debate on salt and iron was actually a comprehensive compromise conference.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on Emperor Han Zhao.

Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty is the youngest son of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty. Originally, it was impossible for him to be the emperor. Said that he only needs to be a happy planter, and he can live a safe life.

Emperor Zhao Jie of the Han Dynasty was said to be pregnant in the "fourteenth month" before giving birth. Ahaha, originally everyone regarded his mother Zhao Jieyu's performance as a joke, and called Emperor Zhao Jie of the Han Dynasty "Gu Yizi". Player, otherwise there would not be such a title...

Then in the second year of Zhenghe, the famous witchcraft disaster happened.Empress Wei Zifu and Crown Prince Liu Ju were framed by Su Wen, Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and others, so they could not raise their own troops and committed suicide after their defeat.

Afterwards, the battle for the heirloom was staged, and Liu Dan, the third son of the emperor, was in a twitch. He was encouraged to write a letter to be the prince, and naturally he was slapped and hung on the wall by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.The fourth son of the emperor, Liu Xu, has long been raised and abandoned, and he can't be an emperor.The fifth son of the emperor, Liu Wei, was born to Mrs. Li and was Li Guangli's nephew. Li Guangli and his prime minister, Liu Quyu, planned to make Liu Wei the crown prince, but the result was exposed. After the incident, Li Guangli surrendered to the Huns, and Liu Quyu was beheaded. Died soon after too...

Ever since, Emperor Han Zhao didn't do anything, and with a bang, the throne fell in front of him in vain. Under such circumstances, the superior Emperor Han Zhao, in order to make his butt more stable, fought with court officials at the Yantie Conference It is not surprising that the virtuous and virtuous literati flirted with each other and sold the rules that his father had finally set up.

After all, from ancient times to the present, it doesn't feel bad for cubs to sell their parents.

From this point of view, the background of the Witch Gu disaster is probably not as simple as described in the history books.It's like the background of the current discussion on salt and iron, and it's not as pure as Liu Xie imagined.

In order to secure the throne, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty threw out salt and iron, gathered the aristocratic families who had secretly supported the princes and returned to worship at his feet, but also opened Pandora's box, making the aristocratic families gradually become landlords and powerful , local separatists...

Liu Xie threw out the salt and iron again, not because of any new policy changes at the moment, nor because Liu Xie was really thinking about something for the country and the people. In addition to stabilizing his own position, it also included Liu Xie. Xie wants to overcome Cao Cao's obstruction and win some people under his command...

I don't know which box will be opened this time when there is a big talk about salt and iron?
Even if Liu Xie knows that he will open the box, Liu Xie can't control this desire. After all, he feels that he is really "lonely". If this continues, I'm afraid it will really be cold.The hearts of the people are scattered, can the team still lead?Liu Xie needs popularity, needs to gather people's hearts, and needs to show that he is still the emperor, so Liu Xie compromised, he can sell his name, his identity, and he even knows that this meeting will basically point the finger at Piao But he also wants to do the same. He wants to integrate the people in Jizhou and Yuzhou for Cao Cao, and at the same time make some small moves of his own.

Because if Liu Xie didn't do something for Cao Cao, Cao Cao would definitely not agree to hold it.Although Cao Cao did not attend, he only asked Cao Pi to attend, which seemed to be a metaphor in the dark, such as "children's play", but agreeing to Liu Xie's convening of this kind of behavior actually marked an attitude, a compromise.

Cao Cao's internal disputes are constant now, and the conflicts between Jizhou and Yuzhou are also very sharp, so Cao Cao also needs a little harmonious atmosphere, at least to transform some, so even Cao Cao knows that Liu Xie wants to do something through the Salt and Iron Conference, But Cao Cao also recognized it.

Therefore, on the theory of salt and iron, it is normal to digress while talking.

For example, to refute General Hussar's "Great Theory of the Qinglong Temple"...

Originally, Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty were divided into ancient and modern factions, but now Hussar General Fei Qian put forward a slogan of "seeking the truth and seeking truth", which caught the ancient and modern factions a little by surprise, especially in this area of ​​Jizhou and Yuzhou. The gang, they had no way to influence the hussars, and they couldn't find a place to make a sound for a while. When they were jumping up and down in a hurry, Liu Xie stood up, so even if they were talking about salt and iron, it would not hinder the discussion. As for other things, at least it must become a theoretical commanding height against General Hussars.

"The law of the ancestors is the legacy of the saint..."

"How can a heretical person be able to enter the hall of elegance..."

"It is absolutely not for a gentleman to take advantage of the people..."

"Proclaiming the Dharma at the right time is the most important thing at the moment..."

"Jumping clowns can never last long..."

Almost everyone talked about current affairs, and then suddenly found that everyone was in Guangwu. Jizhou and Yuzhou once again had common thoughts and similar foundations, and their mutual affection suddenly increased.

Souga, it turns out that everyone's goals can be the same!
Ever since, this time, under the leadership of the great and sage emperor Liu Xie, with the assistance of Cao Cao Xun Yu and other loyal officials, and with the support of the majority of Jizhou and Yuzhou people, it was temporarily abandoned. Disputes have reached a limited consensus, which has pointed out the direction for the four years of Dahan Taixing and its future development...

Emperor Liu Xie was very happy.Because he finally got a chance to play positively, and successfully expressed his willingness to absorb more "talents" in front of the villagers of Yuzhou, Jizhou, and march forward together for the great cause of the rise of the great Han and rejuvenation.He only compromised "a little bit", but now he has come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage!This is one small step for Liu Xie, but one giant leap for a man!

Liu Xie smiled, even if he wanted to laugh, he tried his best to maintain the dignified image of the emperor.

Cao Cao, um, the Cao Cao Xiahou faction represented by Cao Pi, is also happy.Seeing the increasingly tense disputes in Jizhou and Yuzhou, it seems that they can put it aside for the time being, and fight against the red devil, uh, three-color hussars, can you not be happy?Although Liu Xie was allowed to take the lead, the power of the court is still in hand, and after the immediate difficulties have been overcome, isn't it still possible to clean up how to deal with it?
Cao Pi grinned like a fool, but his small eyes kept spinning.

The representatives of the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou were naturally happy.They have successfully demonstrated their strength. Although they still need to pay a little, they have made the emperor Liu Xie and the Cao family Xiahou understand a truth. They cannot do without the support of the nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou. Without the support of the nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the big Han Can it work?Can Mrs. Cao do it?Therefore, the Jizhou Yuzhou gentry is no longer one or two separate families, but a whole of interests, which can legitimately fight for the interests of the gentry!So they are happy too.

The elders of the gentry village in Yuzhou, Jizhou laughed and flattered each other, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

After a round, it seems that everyone only needs to compromise a little, and they can gain a lot of happiness...

The atmosphere inside and outside Deyang Hall was peaceful, with laughter everywhere.

Such a happy atmosphere is undoubtedly rare, even the palace guards who are guarding outside can't help but look sideways at each other, and then become a little cheerful.

These imperial guards standing in the square outside Deyang Hall seemed to feel a little more relaxed in their hearts.After all, their job is to protect the emperor Liu Xie, but they have to violate such duties under certain circumstances...

Not everyone has the psychological quality to do Infernal Affairs well.So when the imperial guard heard that everyone in the Deyang Palace seemed so happy, some people thought that maybe there would be less bullshit in the future?Maybe I won't have to be so embarrassing in the future?
While these imperial guards were thinking about their beautiful future life, suddenly an inexplicable strong wind swept over, blowing sand and rocks in the square, and even almost knocked off their helmets, and suddenly tore the banners above their heads Be straight!
The ropes tied to the banners of the Han Dynasty may have been worn out and not replaced in time, or the sudden force of the wind was too strong to bear, and a flag broke the rope with a "snap", and then they watched helplessly. The flag with a big "Chinese" character written on it floated away with a "hoo" in the strong wind...
