Han Dao world

Chapter 261
"What's the use of dead endorsement?" Zhao Wen raised the corner of his mouth. "Since you are so familiar, then tell me, what is the time between heaven and man, the changes between the past and the present?"

Yang Biao's eyes showed a bit of surprise. "Could it be that you realized it?"

Zhao Wen smiled smugly. "Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."

Yang Biao immediately became interested. "tell me the story."

Zhao Wen hooked his fingers. "Bring it."

Yang Biao looked blank, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhao Wen suddenly reached out, grabbed Yang Biao's sleeve, took out a cloth bag from it, and sneered.

"You can hide it from Zhang Jili, and you can hide it from me?"

Yang Biao clapped his palms and laughed, laughed twice, then covered his mouth and stopped. "Don't make any noise, and if you attract him again, we won't be happy."

The two looked at each other and snickered, with childlike complacency in their gray eyebrows.

Although they are colleagues, the two of them can talk a little better, and they often don't talk to Zhang Xi.

"Tell me, what do you think." Yang Biao urged.

"Why is Master called holy?" Zhao Wen asked.

Yang Biao thought for a while, and quoted a sentence that the emperor said not long ago. "Set up a heart for the heaven and the earth, and continue the sage's unique knowledge."

Zhao Wen nodded. "Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that the master taught without discrimination, taught seventy-two sages and had three thousand disciples, how could he be as gloomy and literary as he is today? Your Majesty wants to make all the people in the world able to read, just follow the stories of the sages and go a step further."

Yang Biao frowned slightly. "is it possible?"

"Why didn't Wen Xian first ask whether it is appropriate or not?" Zhao Wen asked back: "Or, Wen Xian thinks that ordinary people are born stupid and should not be taught."

Yang Biao glared at Zhao Wen. "I, the professors of the Yang family, have hundreds of times more disciples than your Zhao family."

Zhao Wen smiled instead of anger. "Even if it is a hundred times larger, how many thousands of people can there be? When the Hukou of the Han Dynasty was at its peak, there were tens of millions of households, [-] million people, and how many people had educated?"

Yang Biao let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that everyone can read, but it's also a lot of trouble. Zirou, you are Situ. It's already a headache, if everyone reads..."

Yang Biao shook his head, not daring to continue.

Zhao Wen stared at Yang Biao, and said unhurriedly: "Wen Xian, Zichan will not destroy the township school, but are you worried about the officials discussing politics?"

Yang Biao frowned.

Zhao Wen is not a pedantic person. He said these things not for the sake of eloquence, but for thinking.

In all fairness, although his reason is very realistic, it does not conform to the philosophy of Confucianism.

In other words, this is the dilemma faced by Confucianism. If it is not resolved, the dominant position of Confucianism will inevitably be shaken.

At that time, the result of the emperor's promotion of the king's way is not to revitalize Confucianism, but to destroy Confucianism.

This is a situation that no Confucian disciple wants to see.

Either change to adapt to the new situation.

or die.

As a veteran, as a Confucian disciple, he is duty-bound.

But he couldn't see a way out.

-

Cai Yan stood outside the door with sweat on his hands.

She has been here three times, but she still has no courage to go in.

This was originally a very natural thing.

All the Lang officials around the emperor knew her, and she didn't need to ask to see her, she could just walk in, and no one would stop her.

But this time is different.

The words of Queen Fushou and Hongnong Wang's wife Tang Ji echoed in her ears, making her flustered and at a loss.

She didn't know what the outcome would be.

It was something she had never imagined to recommend herself as a pillow seat, even if the other party was the supreme being in the world.

The Chen Liucai family passed on their poems and books to their families, so they don't need to seek wealth in that way.

Or... Forget it, it's fine now, why bother to humiliate yourself.

Just when Cai Yan was timid and was about to slip away quietly, the emperor suddenly walked out of the room.

"Ling Shi, what's the matter?" Liu Xie said in surprise.

He remembered that Cai Yan was not on duty today.

"Uh..." Cai Yan was tongue-tied, looked down at the cover-up document in his arms, and said hastily, "Chen...Chen come to read."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan suspiciously.He could feel Cai Yan's panic, but he didn't know the reason.

Do you have something to say?
"I just have something to ask you." Although Liu Xie was a little annoyed, he beckoned Cai Yan to come closer.

What annoys him the most is that people around him take advantage of their position to speak for others and take advantage of it, although he knows that this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

Cai Yan was not such a person before, but who knows if she will change.

This time she took the initiative to ask Suizheng, which was a bit surprising.

Although Cai Yan grew up with Cai Yong in northern Xinjiang, he adapted to the climate of northern Xinjiang and understood the customs and customs of northern Xinjiang, but this time he was going out to fight, not to stay, and the degree of hardship can be imagined.

Originally, he didn't intend to take Cai Yan with him, but Cai Yan offered to ask, so he had no choice but to comply.

If she speaks for others for the sake of convenience, it would be too embarrassing.

"What's your Majesty's inquiry?" Cai Yan was sensitive to the change in Liu Xie's attitude, and regretted it even more, but could only bite the bullet.

Liu Xie talked about Pei Ye's appointment as governor of Bingzhou and asked Cai Yan's opinion.

He stared at Cai Yan's face to see how Cai Yan reacted.

If Pei Mao really wanted to deceive, it would be perfectly normal for him to cooperate with Cai Yan.

When it came to business, Cai Yan calmed down and thought about it carefully. "I don't remember any related records, but I don't think it's fake."

"Why?" Liu Xie said calmly.

"There should be many people remembering the events within twenty years. Your majesty will know if it is true or not. Even if there is no file, there will always be someone in Bingzhou who remembers it. Huben Zhonglang Song Guo was once the governor of Bingzhou, no matter whether Pei Ye is His predecessor or descendant, there have been handovers, he always has the impression."

Liu Xie felt reasonable. "You haven't seen the relevant documents either?"

"I didn't see it. But the official documents in the palace are incomplete, and there are a lot of losses. It's normal if they can't be found." Cai Yan said: "If your majesty wants to inquire, I will ask you carefully, and you will know the authenticity."

Liu Xie nodded, agreeing.

It is indeed inconvenient for him to investigate, Cai Yan is much more convenient to act.

Of course, this is exactly what Pei Mao had thought of a long time ago.

No matter how smart the emperor was, he was only one person after all, and it was impossible for him to care about everything.It couldn't be easier for ministers—especially those close to the emperor—to join forces to deceive the emperor.

As long as Pei Mao paid enough, he could even get more people to testify.

"It's been a day's journey, so you should rest early." Liu Xie was in a worse mood, waved his hand sullenly, and turned back to the house.

"Wei." Cai Yan clasped his hands and withdrew as if receiving an amnesty.

Liu Xie saw it clearly, and suddenly stopped Cai Yan again.

"Let Shi stay."

"Your Majesty?" Cai Yan's face turned pale, and his expression was cramped.

"Didn't you just say that you were a servant?"

"Uh..." Cai Yan finally came to his senses, became even more flustered, and hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "What book does Your Majesty want to read today?"

Liu Xie didn't speak, but waved his hands, motioning for Cai Yan to enter the room.

Cai Yan didn't know why, so he had to follow in.After closing the door, when she turned around, she saw Liu Xie sitting behind the case, looking at her seriously.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

"I will give you a chance to confess." Liu Xie said with a dark face, "Only this once."
