Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2388 Zhenxiang is coming again

The news of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu being pacified one after another, not only captured the big rebellious households, but also defeated the related tribes of the Ji people and Di people in the surrounding area, and spread to Sanfu at the end of the first month of the sixth year of Taixing.

Although it is not completely settled at the moment, there are still some follow-up matters, such as the punishment and sentencing of those who rebelled, and we have to wait for the command of General Shu to escort those sinners to Chang'an, such as the Di people in Yinping and Daba Mountains The Jian people's cottage has not yet been completely conquered, but generally speaking, the chaos of this scene has gradually come to an end.

When the drama ends, of course some people will be happy and some will be worried.

Those who made a wrong bet turned pale.

When a person encounters a loss, of course, the first thing to do is to avoid the loss as much as possible, and then when he finds that it cannot be avoided, he will start to think about how to reduce the loss...

The same is true for the sons of the gentry in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, as well as the local tyrants. When it was deduced that Fei Qian might use the general who conquered Shu to escort these conspiracy for trial, these people began a series of actions.

While there is still a little time, and while the journey of escorting these prisoners of war is not so fast, grab the stone or the edge of the knife, and rescue them to some extent before they fall.

Chinese tradition, look for a relationship.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, various relationships.

Chang'an Sanfu, the spring rain has been continuous for the past few days.

Everything as far as the eye can see seems to be wet.

Some people like spring rain and feel that spring rain is as expensive as oil. Similarly, some people naturally dislike spring rain. They feel that such weather is very frustrating and they feel uncomfortable wherever they go.

Amidst the drizzle, a guest was welcomed in the small courtyard of the Zhen family.

Uninvited guests.

The courtyard where Zhen Mi lived was not big, but it was extremely luxurious, not to mention the carved beams and painted buildings, but in the hall, there was a roll of bead curtains separating the front and back of the hall.

In the golden toad incense burner, sandalwood is fine.

The bead curtain shakes, but only a shadow can be seen between each other, which cannot be seen clearly.

The voices come and go.

Listening to the crying of the middle-aged man in the front hall, Zhen Mi sat on the table, as if she was recording something with a pen, and when the middle-aged man finished crying and howling, she sighed slightly, put down the pen, Then he said in a clear voice: "Brother's words, my younger sister has also written down here. Now things are urgent, and my younger sister needs to make some preparations... It's just that this matter is very important. My younger sister also lives in Chang'an, and the people I know are also acquainted." Most of them are merchants, so you might as well visit a few more, maybe you can get some results...』

The middle-aged man responded again and again, and then said that there would be a lot of rewards, but Zhen Mi declined. He just said that the middle-aged man is not easy at the moment and should use the money for other things. The middle-aged people also had good business contacts before, and they all have friendships. If the real thing is done, they will not refuse if they want to repay it.

The middle-aged man was helpless, but what Zhen Mi said seemed to have some truth, and after begging for a while, he said goodbye with gratitude and left.

Seeing that the middle-aged man had left, Zhen Mi picked up the pen again, and began to sketch. After a while, as if she saw or thought of something interesting, she chuckled to herself.

"Come here..." Zhen Mi put down the pen again, and asked unhurriedly, "Who is on duty today as the concierge?" 』

The maid who looked like a little rabbit replied softly, "It should be Zhen Twelve's turn..."

"Since I like to make my own decisions..." Zhen Mi said softly, "My pond is so small that I really can't accommodate this bastard..."

It turned out that when Zhen Mi wrote on the desk table before, she didn't remember the words of the middle-aged man at all, but was drawing a bastard...

"I don't want to see him anymore..." Zhen Mi threw the paper on the ground, "Also...warn the shopkeepers outside, the team leader...Since you are a businessman, do your job well, and don't care about anything other than business... think If you do too much, it will consume your brain...』

"Send the order down, saying that I am not in good health... no outsiders! 』

After Cui Hou's mess happened, how dare the leaders of these large and small chambers of commerce in Chang'an dare to swagger around?
What's more, businessmen are all chasing interests, so don't look at these businessmen and those in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu who were the most enthusiastic and had the best attitude. They nodded and bowed and made countless promises. Counting does not count.

Although most businessmen would not wait to see these people from Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu who came to make connections, but before the general who conquered Shu arrived and set off, in Chang'an, the new caravan was already excited. , Start building a team...

Get on the train!
No time to explain!

Conspiracy, no matter when it is, is an unforgivable sin.

In the feudal dynasty, it was called heinous.

In various countries of later generations, it is called treason.

No matter what kind of government, no matter what system, no matter what time period it is, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, people who betray their own camp are extremely disgusted, and they will not forgive the crimes of such people.

These rebels in Hanzhong and Sichuan will inevitably usher in a round of large-scale purges, and in the process of purges, there will be a large number of business opportunities. As long as you catch one, it means getting rich and making money.

Houses, fields, land deeds, shops, all kinds of utensils, even servants and tenants, etc., are like pieces of fat meat, attracting the attention of all kinds of people.

Therefore, large and small caravans rushed to Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu...

Isn't it good to be busy making money? Who has the time to "fight the injustice" for these guys?
This is the case for businessmen, and the two departments of agriculture and industry have no time to pay attention to this matter, because these two departments are busy with spring plowing and production preparation, and they don't care about these messy matters at all.

During this period of time, many hard-working agricultural bachelors were promoted and sent to Hanzhong or Sichuan to serve as small local officials. Although the power may not be very large, it means a change from official to official. Many agricultural scholars saw hope and became more diligent.

After all, the "work performance" of a bachelor's degree in agriculture is very straightforward. It's clear at a glance how the harvest of the fields in charge is, how it compares with the same period last year, and whether it has been done or not.

So is the Bachelor of Engineering.

After Huang Chengyan became a senior examiner, he expanded the hierarchy of craftsmen from the Huang family to all craftsmen. When these craftsmen reached a certain level, they not only brought a salary, but also a certain position. It will be quite different, but it is enough to motivate these engineering bachelors and craftsmen.

Therefore, in the cities, farmers and small handicraft workers with a large population base are not in the mood at all, and have no time to listen to the complaints of these local tyrants in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu.

Ever since, among the four peoples, the rest are naturally "scholars", and we can only find these "scholars".

The most direct way is naturally to find a powerful person in the officialdom.

After all, China is still a relational society. The so-called disciple system left over from the early days of the Han Dynasty has been implemented for 400 years. Coupled with various marriages, many people can always find some people...

Then these guys suddenly discovered that some relationships are not easy to use now.

The so-called disciples, of course, must have the leader of the powerful family, so that the disciples can protect each other and cooperate with each other, but the biggest "leader of the powerful family" under Chang'an is of course Fei Qian, and these conspiracy guys are equivalent to Lifting Feiqian's underpants, which official under Feiqian dared to cover up?
Wei Duan had already closed the door of the mansion and expressed his attitude when the problem occurred in Longxi. How can he stand up and speak out for the more remote Hanzhong and Sichuan?What's more, he just stood on the stage and recited "The Law of Corruption". If he collected some money and then involved the fate of the whole family, even the children and grandchildren, it is obvious that as long as Wei Duan is not insane, he will definitely not made.

As for Du Ji, Li Yuan and others, they either avoided it early on, or were the beneficiaries in the Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu battles, so how could they say anything for "dead friends"?

Therefore, these people can only be like Shen Yi, who can only settle for the next best thing, beating around the bush to find some middle-level or lower-middle-level relationships...

But not everyone has Shen Yi's "luck".

These middle- and lower-level officials, like Pei Heng, don't know how to rescue curves like Pei Heng, or they are going to run away if they have a big vote.

So in the end, these people can only go to the opposition party, that is, these "idle immortals" in Qinglong Temple.

But when these people wanted to make trouble in Qinglong Temple, they suddenly found that no one was interested in their so-called "tragic experience". Almost everyone's attention was focused on the latest big news, hot search headlines superior!

"Re-examine and correct the annotations of the scriptures"!
Led by Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui, Jingxiang Pangshi, Hedong Peishi, Guanzhong Webster and other local scripture families participated, collaborating on scripture annotations, eliminating the chaos, keeping righteousness, and not making any extensions and prophecies, just the most basic direct solution.

In the previous Han Confucian circles, there were often some contradictions due to the different meanings of the scriptures annotated by different families.Even in the previous prosecution system, there will be this problem.Some special idlers, er, great sages, generally don’t have this problem, but after all, a small number, most of the scouts’ children need to take part in an assessment before they come to Chang’an to meet the emperor.

On the one hand, it is to ensure that these people are themselves and not some assassins pretending to be. On the other hand, it is also necessary to ensure that these people understand some scriptures. Don’t go to the temple and ask three questions. It will not only lose your own people, but also lose your recommendation face of the victim.

In this kind of assessment, it is very important to use the scripture commentary of which family as the main criterion. Sometimes because of the different commentaries of each family, the elders of the family who are officials in the court will even call the examiner in advance. Hello……

Among the three Chang'an paintings, the examination and examination system is in decline. Although there are a few cases, the main body is the official examination system of Hussar Generals.This examination system has been implemented for several years. Basically, whether these gentry children are willing or not, it is already a fait accompli. However, in the process of the examination, there are still cases of the same scriptures with different annotations, so that Up to now, when assessing the scriptures, only the body of the scriptures is assessed, that is, the recitation part, and there is basically no assessment of the comprehension of the scriptures.

In the initial stage of the implementation of the examination system, talent selection could still be based on policy theory, but as the number of references continued to increase, it was too inefficient to only use the two items of recitation and policy theory to screen.Therefore, if it is necessary to use scripture comprehension questions for screening, then it is natural that the relative standards of scripture annotations should be relatively uniform.

So, even though it was just to let the wind out, and then started to set up a grass-roots team, and has not yet entered the formal discussion and collegiate session, but this has already caused an uproar in Qinglong Temple...

That family also doesn't want their scriptural annotations, which have been handed down by their families for decades, or even hundreds of years, to be excluded from the collegiate discussion and then rejected!That is almost equivalent to the disaster of his family's Confucianism!

In the face of such a huge change, almost all the children of the gentry were extremely excited.Those who took the first step and tossed half their lives on the road, the mourning and crying of the sons of the nobles sent by the Hanzhong Chuanshu family to ask for help, sorry, can such a trivial matter be considered a fart?
This is a life-and-death battle that is related to the inheritance of one's own Confucian classics!
Are there any objections to this correction of the annotations of the Confucian classics?
Of course there are many.

But just like the voices against the "Xiping Stone Classic" back then, it was useless.

It's nothing more than a waste of money, time-consuming, futile and other rhetoric, even these people feel a little guilty when they say it.

In fact, these opponents have an obvious characteristic. Except for some great families of scriptures, the rest are concentrated on the inheritance families of Jinwen Confucianism.

The reason for the opposition of the scripture family is very simple, because it is not good for them.

However, one of the top family of scriptures at the moment, the Yuan family, has already fallen, and the remaining Yuan Shang is in Feixiongxuan. Crying secretly, and pretending to smile when she shows up to show that it's okay, this big board really doesn't hurt at all...

As for those Shandong gentry, they didn't bring those people to play together, even if those people jumped and cursed, their voices couldn't reach Chang'an Sanfu.

As for those families who mainly study and teach Jinwen Confucianism...

In fact, Jinwen Confucianism has developed to the present, and it has obviously become a little tired.After all, Chenwei was cool for a while, but it was troublesome when he explained it.At the beginning, there were not many such prophecies similar to lies, and they were not connected with each other. However, how many contradictory prophecies have been said in the past hundred years, I am afraid that these aristocratic families who mainly study modern texts and classics I couldn't even explain it clearly, but was caught by others, and the slap in the face was extremely embarrassing.

Therefore, great Confucians like Zheng Xuan are basically not completely biased towards Jinwen Confucianism, and many of them walk on two legs in ancient and modern texts.

In history, in the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Fang of the Wei State launched a "Three-Body Stele" that was biased towards ancient texts and classics, which can also be regarded as an explanation of the current attitude towards modern classics.

In addition, if there are opponents, there will naturally be supporters, and the number of these supporters is quite amazing...

As long as you are not a fool, you can clearly understand how beneficial this measure is to the vast number of ordinary gentry disciples and students from poor families.

Why are these scriptures difficult to spread?
Is it because these scriptures do not have a sentence to read, and are obscure and difficult to understand. If there are no annotations privately kept by each family, even if they get the scriptures, they may not be able to know what the words on the books mean!
Therefore, in ancient times, the first step in learning the scriptures was called "enlightenment".

Now if the "official" has corrected the annotations of the scriptures, it means that as long as you know the characters, you can cross the threshold set by the original family of scriptures and directly see the information conveyed in the scriptures!

And if once the annotations of the scriptures are confirmed, according to the habit of General Hushi, even if it takes a long time to carve the second batch of "Xiping Stone Classics", some "paperback editions" will be released in Chang'an Bookstore in advance ...

This is absolutely beneficial to the vast majority of ordinary families, poor disciples!

Therefore, as long as these ordinary families and children from poor families are not stupid, they will firmly stand on Fei Qian's side, and the number of these people far exceeds those "family boutiques".

The very few who are dizzy and whose buttocks can't sit upright are those who are sprayed by Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui's supporters so that they can hardly take care of themselves.Zheng Xuan has been annotating scriptures throughout history, from the Book of Changes to the Book of Songs to the Book of Rites, even without Fei Qian's support, he would still do so.

As for Sima Hui, when Fei Qian was still in Jingzhou, he heard that Sima Hui attached great importance to the annotation of scriptures, and even ran around to fight against Zheng Xuan. Now he has the opportunity to sit on an almost equal footing with Zheng Xuan and study the scriptures together. Annotation to the text, how could you easily object and then give up the glory you got?

The Shanxi gentry will not object, because this is almost an excellent opportunity to grasp the right to speak in scripture annotations!

From Taiyuan, from Pingyang, from Hedong, and from Longyou, there are constant expressions that they represent the students of a certain family who have arrived at Qinglong Temple. Regardless of whether their own level can meet the standard of "Reconnaissance Commentary", anyway, they have to make a fool of themselves first. Let's talk!
Then, when the time for the second Qinglong Temple Grand Discussion was still a year away, the enthusiasm was already hyped up in advance...

Everything went crazy. Those aristocratic families from all over the world who jumped on their feet and gritted their teeth said that they would never participate in the second Qinglong Temple discussion. Now, in order not to let their families lose their right to speak, they can only say with tears streaming down their faces A "really fragrant".

In the face of suffering, some people grit their teeth and persevere, some people will go head-on, some want to escape, and some people only think about how to exempt themselves, so on the surface it seems Chang'an Sansuke, who seemed to be calming down, actually started to surge with a new undercurrent...

Taixing six years, spring.

There is still one year to go until the next Qinglong Temple Great Discussion.
