Han Dao world

Chapter 659
The news of Yuan Quan's mission to Shandong immediately attracted the attention of courtiers.

This incident was very sudden, and the emperor did not disclose it in advance, nor did he explain it afterwards, but the timing of this incident was so coincidental that it cannot but lead to speculation.

Yuan Shu ambushed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and confiscated the Lujiang rich family who was attached to Yuan Shao to Chang'an, and wanted to spend their land in Lujiang. This matter has not yet come to a conclusion, but the emperor sent Yuan Shu's daughter Yuan Quan as an envoy to Shandong. Obviously no coincidence.

Under the attention of many people, the news that Yuan Heng was ordered to follow Cai Yan to learn the etiquette soon surfaced.

After hearing this news, many people understood what the emperor meant.

Regardless of the final specific results, the emperor is generally satisfied with Yuan Shu's actions.

This is a matter of attitude and direction, and there is little room for discussion.

This made many veterans worried.

There are two main concerns for them: one is whether Yuan Shu will get angry and mess around.The second is that Dutian will lead to chaos in Shandong, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

The latter worry is nothing to discuss.

Although the emperor didn't say anything, the experience of Hedong is in advance. It is well known that the emperor wants to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion to cleanse the big clan in Shandong, and the people of Bingliang also want to follow suit. Zhuzhou carried out some open and aboveboard robbery.

Shandong people do not want to see this scene, but they have no reason to directly object.

Suppressing mergers and strengthening the weak branches have always been the core concepts of Confucianism, which is as important as not competing with the people for profit.

Even if he opposed Emperor Guangwu's Dutian at the beginning, it was secretly obstructing the destruction, and no one dared to oppose it face to face.

Today, the Son of Heaven is armed with elite soldiers, young and energetic, and his methods are much more ruthless than the Confucian Emperor Guangwu.It really annoyed him, and it is not ruled out that in a fit of rage, he would destroy Shandong Prefecture and County by force.

So the reason for everyone's opposition is focused on Yuan Shu.

It is recognized that Yuan Shu is a dude, not enough to succeed, but more to fail.Even if he is doing right now, it doesn't mean he will be able to do well in the future.It is unreliable for him to preside over Dutian.

At this moment, Qiao Rui escorted a group of captives to Chang'an, giving the veterans more motivation and more sufficient reasons.

Qiao Rui brought dozens of patriarchs of the Lujiang clan.

These people usually have no worries about food and clothing, but now they are sitting in a sill car all the way from the Lujiang River to this point, with only half of their lives left, which seems to make people feel distressed.Many people felt the same way, remembering the miserable life when the emperor moved to the west and returned to the east, they ran to Liu Xie and wept bitterly, recalling the bitterness and sweetness, begging Liu Xie to cherish the present peace and not to start the war lightly.

Qiao Rui also brought her family members, including a pair of beautiful daughters, one thirteen and one twelve.

Needless to say, this must be a crooked idea that Yuan Shu came up with.

Who does he regard the emperor as?Do you think the Son of Heaven is as lustful as him?How can such a drunkard be given such a heavy responsibility?To save the land is a major event, entrusted to no one, and it will cause endless disasters.

All of a sudden, all kinds of accusations rained down on Yuan Shu, and everyone spoke in unison, wishing to scold Yuan Shu to death.

If tongue could kill, Yuan Shu would have died thousands of times.

Under such circumstances, even Liu Xie couldn't just excuse Yuan Shu directly, or he would have been hit by Yuan Shu's sugar-coated bullets, and was stunned by the pair of sisters who hadn't bloomed yet.

Soon, Doctor Guanglu Zhou Zhong, who was in Wu Jun, also sent an urgent document.He did not intercede for the Lujiang clan, nor did he directly object to spending the land in Lujiang, but he strongly opposed Yuan Shu's presiding over the matter.

He started from the absurdity of Yuan Shu when he was young, and continued until he ruled the same city with Yuan Shu in Shouchun not long ago. He listed all kinds of unreliable things about Yuan Shu, and finally asked a question: How can such a person bear the burden? Can you afford such an important task as Du Tian?
After this incident, Liu Xie also felt that Yuan Shu was unreliable, and his actions were too simple and rude.

Therefore, he made a concession and decided to transfer Yuan Shu away from Yangzhou.

After a serious and intense "discussion", Liu Xie finally made a decision to transfer Yuan Shu to Youzhou Mu.

Compared with Yangzhou, Youzhou is farther and poorer.Yuan Shu's transition from Yangzhou Mu to Youzhou Mu seems to be a mediocre move, but in fact, he moved from the left, which can be regarded as a punishment, and it can be regarded as calming some people's grievances.

After dealing with Yuan Shu, another issue was raised immediately.

Who will take over Yangzhou Mu?
Everyone discussed and discussed, and mentioned several candidates, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be approved by the vast majority of people.

In the south of the city, the former site of Taixue.

Zhao Qi sat under the shade of a tree, fanning the wind with his sleeve.Although he is in good health, he is old after all.In order to investigate whether there is a possibility of repairing Taixue, he has been running around for the past few days, exhausting his physical strength.

"Gongtai, sit down for a while." Zhao Qi said.

"Here." Chen Gong agreed, but instead of sitting down, he leaned on a big tree and stared at Nanshan in the distance.

"Gongtai, what are you thinking?"

"Seeing the ruins of Taixue, I suddenly feel a little emotional." Chen Gong turned his head, looked at Zhao Qi, poured a bowl of water and handed it over. "It's been more than three hundred years since Dong Zhongshu suggested the establishment of Taixue. Who would have thought that Confucianism would come to where it is today? It can be seen that the master is right. Too much is too late. Reading is a good thing, but too many scholars may also be troublesome. "

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Qi said dissatisfiedly: "Let's not talk about how to understand the words of the saints. Today's people emphasize education and want to make everyone in the world be able to read and understand. Why do you think there are too many scholars? In my opinion, virtue To moisten the body and enrich the house, the more scholars there are, the better. Look at those Xiliang soldiers, they were all as vulgar as beasts, and wherever they went, they were flying like dogs, and after reading, they even spoke in a softer voice."

"I'm not saying that reading is bad." Chen Gong quickly explained. "It is good to study to cultivate morality, but how many people study to cultivate morality? Most of the [-] Taixue students study for official careers. Once reading cannot make them enter official positions, they will abandon the words of sages." Such as bad shoes, how can there be a heart of virtue. There is a saying in Shandong that calls for a scholar who does not know the book, and it refers to this kind of person.”

"I've heard that saying before." Zhao Qi nodded. "The next sentence is Cha Xiaolian, father lives away, right?"

Chen Gong laughed dumbfounded, and patted his forehead. "I forgot, Mr. Zhao has also traveled in Shandong for many years."

"What traveling, I was fleeing." Zhao Qi patted his knees, a little ashamed. "I have read "Mencius" for most of my life, and I admire Mencius the most. I just want to be a man who can't be promiscuous if rich or poor, can't be moved by poverty, and can't be subdued by power. However, when disasters happen, I still can't be steadfast in the face of difficulties, so I can only run away. In short, I live by stealth. If you want to talk about hypocrisy, why am I not? So I agree with what the emperor said, scholars should also practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. If I had a good martial arts, why did I run away and kill Tang Xuan directly for the sake of the country? Elimination of adultery."

"Mr. Zhao is heroic." Following the light and crisp applause, Emperor Liu Xie walked over from the side, applauding as he walked. "Even though Mr. Zhao is old, his arrogance is no less than that of a young man. He is worthy of being a follower of Meng Ke, and he has the true aura of arrogance. Admire, admire."
