Chapter 936 Wait and see
When scholar Sun Rui found Cai Yan, Yuan Heng was just off duty and was discussing with Cai Yan about Wang Duan being left in Xingzai.

Seeing the scholar Sun Rui, Cai Yan and Yuan Heng hurried forward to salute, and regarded themselves as their children.

Although Shi Sunrui has never been a Sangong, he has always had a good reputation and is very prestigious among the younger generation.

Hearing that Wang Duan was left behind, Shi Sun Rui asked a few more questions.

Wang Duan is a relative, who has a strong demonstration effect and has a major impact on the subsequent logistical supplies.

Sun Rui heaved a sigh of relief knowing that Wang Duan was not only kept in the line, but Zhuge Liang's family property would also be counted.With the emperor's methods, no one should dare to confront Zhuge Liang head-on.As for the small means, it must not be Zhuge Liang's opponent.

Being able to carry out a comprehensive name registration verification at any cost at the time of the autumn harvest is a testament to its courage.Anyone with a little knowledge will not conflict with Zhuge Liang at this time.

What's more, there is also the Northern Army stationed nearby, ready to assist in countering the rebellion.

The scholar Sun Rui immediately asked about the "Biography of the Party Gu".

Cai Yan already knew from Yuan Heng that the Son of Heaven was discussing the preface with Shi Sun Rui, so he was not surprised at all.She told Shi Sunrui that the emperor's request for "Dang Gu Lie Biography" is to record it truthfully, so it is still in the data collection stage, and even the preface is a draft.

The reason is very simple. Regarding Zhou Fu and Fang Zhi, who are the origins of the party affairs, the information currently available is not comprehensive enough.

Zhou Fu is too little, Fang Zhi is too empty.

Although Zhou Fu was a Confucian scholar, he has no other deeds to pass on except that he was an emperor's teacher and an official to a minister.Among his disciples, there is no particularly outstanding one. In addition, it is a derogatory statement in party affairs, and even fewer dare to speak out. There is almost nothing to write about.

Fang Zhi has relatively more information, but most of them are false names, and there are not many actual political achievements.

Judging from the only information available, it was Fang Zhi's guest disciples who provoked the incident and attacked Zhou Fu, which did not match Fang Zhi's image of a moral gentleman.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is to issue a statement on the Mansion Newspaper, hoping that all people involved in or concerned about party affairs can provide information, and then discriminate and analyze the information from the false to the true, and finally write the "Biography of the Party", and put the Gains and losses are recorded in the annals of history for future generations.

After hearing this, Sun Rui was both happy and worried.

The joy is that the emperor's attitude of seeking truth from facts remains the same as before, and he regards the writing of "Danggu Liezhuan" as a major event, hoping to draw experience and lessons from it, so he does not hesitate to hurt the reputation of Xiaohuan and Xiaoling.What is worrying is that the party affairs are too involved. I am afraid that this biography cannot be written in a short time, or even a biography can accommodate it.

The greater danger is that it may cause the literati to tear apart.

Tens of thousands of scholar-bureaucrats were implicated in the two party imprisonments, and many party members or their descendants are still alive, and even hold great power.The imperial court wanted to clarify party affairs, so they naturally couldn't just sit idly by and speak out.

But there has never been a public opinion on the right and wrong of party affairs, and even among the literati and bureaucrats, there are great differences on party affairs.While the supporters are justified, the opponents are also justified.It's just that they don't have an advantage in morality, and the channels for speaking out are limited, so the volume is not loud enough. It seems that the party members are more powerful.

Now the situation has changed. Not only is the emperor’s attitude towards the party members not good enough, but to some extent he supports the opponents to speak out. New things such as Dibao and Yinfang have also provided opponents with more opportunities to speak out.

Once the two sides have a public debate, and form a text and publish it all over the world, the momentum of the party members will inevitably be severely damaged.

Although scholar Sun Rui is not a party member and opposes the extremism of the party members, he does not want to see the reputation of the party members discredited, and become a existence with mixed merits and demerits just like eunuchs.

In his view, such a danger exists, and the possibility is extremely high.

As a member of the court, he knows the true face of the party members too well.

"How does Ling Shi evaluate Wang Situ?" Shi Sun Rui said.

Cai Yan smiled lightly. "Master Sun Gong may wish to wait and see."

-

Shi Sun Rui came to the restaurant and sat down to eat.

Mrs. Bian has received an order from the emperor to prepare a simple but delicate dinner for Sun Rui, including Chinese food and wine.

But Shi Sunrui had no taste at all.

Thinking back to the conversation with Cai Yan, he was worried.

Cai Yong died at the hands of Wang Yun, and how Cai Yan planned to write about Wang Yun became a very symbolic topic.As a party member who was killed by Xiliang people, if Wang Yun's image can still be basically positive, other people don't have to worry too much.

But Cai Yan's answer made him very uneasy.

If Cai Yan took advantage of this opportunity to belittle Wang Yun and complain for his father, it would not be difficult.

She did this, and there is another role that cannot be ignored: to take care of the overall situation and appease the people of Liangzhou.

After all, the Liangzhou Army is a force that the imperial court relies heavily on, so it cannot be ignored.

In contrast, although the party members with the Ruying people at the core have some power, they are not enough to change the current balance of power.

Once the "Danggu Biography" is finalized, the image of the party members has become a historical fact, and it will be difficult to change it later.

The conflict between the scholar-bureaucrats and the imperial court may also plant the root of disaster and alienation.

However, Jushou ate very happily, and had a good chat with his colleagues who came here especially, and drank several glasses of wine in a row.

Shi Sun Rui couldn't bear it anymore and choked him. "Don't think that there are not many party members in Jizhou, so you can stay out of the matter and watch from the sidelines."

Ju Shou laughed. "It would be a good thing if the party members of the world could be exiled overseas like the Jizhou people in Yecheng."

Shi Sunrui's heart moved slightly, and he smacked his lips. "Then tell me, did the Son of Heaven do it on purpose?"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but...not likely."

"Isn't it?"

"It is far easier for the emperor to deal with the party members than to deal with the Jizhou people." Ju Shou put down the chopsticks in his hand. "The ban on the party is just a matter of an edict. The reason why the ban on the party was lifted, and the reason why the party members still have a chance to speak, is not because of how powerful the party members are, but because of the Yellow Turban."

Ju Shou raised his head and looked at Shi Sun Rui, his face was slightly wine-red, but his eyes were bright.

"Do you think there is still a possibility of the Yellow Turban riots?"

Shi Sunrui's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and the blood vessels on his forehead started to beat, especially at his temples, which beat extraordinarily violently.

He quickly glanced around and said in a low voice, "Gongyu, don't worry about it."

Jushou chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I'm not so willful. But have you ever thought about how long this matter can be kept secret? Once the emperor issues an edict to collect deeds related to the party members and discuss them publicly, someone will definitely bring up the matter of the year Say."

He paused, and then said: "I even think that the emperor may have suspected it a long time ago, but he didn't say anything."

Shi Sunrui held his breath, only feeling dizzy.He shook his hand and said in an almost pleading tone: "Gongyu, be careful with your words."

Jushou nodded. "I can say with caution, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou cannot be ignored."
