Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 147
On this day, Mu Jing tidied up very neatly. He wore a plain white Confucian robe, jade on his waist, and a long sword. His hair was neatly tied up in a bun. He looks a little childish, but he has the iron blood on the battlefield and a trace of scholarly elegance on his body, but he is very outstanding.

Beside him was Huo Yu, his long-term confidant, Zhang Huo, a paralyzed guard with high martial arts skills, and Jiang Lu, a counselor dressed as a scholar, who walked side by side with him.

The four of them drove a carriage, set off early in the morning, walked along Luoyang South, and left from Kaiyangmen.

"Is this Taixue?"

The carriage stopped, Mu Jing opened the door curtain, stepped out of the carriage, looked at the huge building in front of him, but there was a desolate atmosphere, and frowned slightly: "It doesn't look like a Confucian holy place!"

He made a decision before moving, so he naturally used a day and a night to collect countless materials, and he came after he had a certain understanding of Taixue.

Taixue, this term already existed in the Zhou Dynasty.

But the establishment of a school was the fifth year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This is the only government institution established in the Han Dynasty. In the history of universities, it is regarded as the originator and is known as the first government university.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. Taixue became a holy land of Confucianism. The scale is large enough to inspire the world. Everyone is proud to have entered Taixue.

Even Liu Xiu, the former Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was once a Tai student.

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu began to build the Taixue of the Eastern Han Dynasty outside the gate of Kaiyang City. Emperor Ming Liu of the Han Dynasty was still lecturing at the Taixue. It took more than a thousand years, and it took a year to build the Taixue that we see today.

Among the Taixue, it occupies a vast area, with more than 240 houses built, and more than 800 rooms, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to study. It is rumored that when Taixue was at its peak, there were more than 3 students.

In this backward era, the rate of literacy in the world is unbelievably low. Thirty thousand readers are a horrifying number.

At the same time, it also shows the heyday of Taixue.

It's a pity that flowers don't last a hundred days, and people don't have a thousand days. The prosperous Taixue will eventually come to an end.

Today, Taixue, with only a few hundred students, is already a deserted Confucian holy land.

"In the past, Taixue was a holy land of Confucianism, so it was naturally lively. Many students in the world aimed to enter Taixue, and how many students went to the capital with untold hardships just to admire the style of Taixue. Unfortunately, now..."

Jiang Lu's eyes were also looking at this Taixue Institute. The buildings on it were majestic, continuous, ups and downs, magnificent and beautiful, but there were very few Taixue students who could see coming in and out, and his heart felt a little sad. Woke up.

When did Taixue start to fall, Jiang Lu knew very well in his heart, after all, he also aimed to enter Taixue in the past, and paid great attention to Taixue.

This period of history should start with Tai students participating in politics.

There are too many scholars, cooking wine with green plums, and talking about the world, it is inevitable that the government will be involved.

In the past, Chen Fan, Li Ying and other great scholars opposed the dark rule of the eunuchs, and the Taixue students responded one after another. Therefore, the Taixue became the target of the eunuchs.

During the two times of party imprisonment, many Taixue students were implicated, and the momentum of Taixue's students plummeted.

In the first year of Xiping, more than [-] Taixue students were arrested and imprisoned by eunuchs.

The Taixue ended, the students passed away, and it was almost abandoned by the Taichang government, and these buildings were going to be used for other purposes.

At this time Cai Yong came back.

Cai Yong single-handedly called on scholars and scholars from all walks of life to reverse the situation that Taixue had no students. With the support of Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, Ma Riyi and others, he finally rejected the idea of ​​the emperor and let Taixue see the emperor again. .

In the past two years, Cai Yong put all his heart and soul into Taixue, and only then did Taixue recover a little bit of anger.

However, today's Taixue is so different from the old Taixue that it cannot be compared.

"Let's go in!"

Mu Jing didn't have too many feelings, his purpose of coming today was very clear, to see Cai Yong, the emperor's sacrificial wine.

"Ok!"

Jiang Lu collected his emotions and stepped into the gate of Taixue.

At the entrance, along the corner of the wall, a total of 46 stone tablets are erected, and each stone tablet has densely packed characters on it, which looks very spectacular.

"This is the Xiping Stone Book!" Jiang Lu looked at this stone tablet, his eyes brightened, his expression was burning hot, and his face was filled with awe.

"The Xiping Stone Book?"

Mu Jing had naturally heard of these steles.

The Xiping Stone Classic was ordered by Emperor Ling in the past to let Taixue gather the strength of all people to use the seven Confucian classics, "Lu Shi", "Shangshu", "Zhouyi", "Chunqiu", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Yili" and "Analects of Confucius". The scriptures are carved and erected in front of the Taixue Gate, which can be copied by anyone.

In this era of closed knowledge, it is very difficult to pass on knowledge. Most of the scriptures and classics are in the hands of aristocratic families. There are many people who want to read but cannot read. The preciousness of books is unparalleled in the eyes of scholars.

The Xiping Stone Book is a milestone in breaking the closedness of knowledge. Even if the force is not very strong, it has opened up an opportunity for poor scholars to study.

Therefore, in the eyes of many scholars, these steles have extremely important historical significance.

"Soon, they mean more!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a playful smile.

Both of them are dressed as scholars, and they don't have much temperament, more or less with a trace of book temperament. It is not difficult to enter the gate of Taixue. After all, today's Taixue does not even have some guards, so it is better to manage them in the past. Strict, as long as you are a scholar, you can enter and exit.

After walking in, they realized that the inside of Taixue was not as desolate as it looked from the outside, and there were still many scholars in the past.

"Didn't you say that there are only five or six hundred Tai students now?"

Mu Jing frowned, the more he walked in, the more lively it became, scholars in twos and threes gathered together, talking, which gave him the feeling of going to a market.

"Tai students are Tai students, and scholars are scholars. You see, those who wear you and blue and white Confucian robes are Tai students. Tai students are strictly recruited. During their studies, they wear and eat the same. Others should come from outside. readers!"

Jiang Lu explained to Mujing.

"So many scholars?" Mu Jing frowned: "Could it be that there is something important about Taixue today?"

"A few brothers are also here to listen to political discussions?"

At this time, a scholar walked over from behind, and when he saw the Confucian robes on Mu Jing and Jiang Lu, he immediately called him a scholar and hurriedly saluted.

"On politics?"

There was some doubt in Mu Jing's eyes.

"It is rumored that there will be a Confucian discussion on politics once a month in Taixue!" Jiang Lu suddenly remembered: "Maybe it is today!"

Taoists discuss Taoism, Buddhism discusses Buddhism, and Confucianism discusses the affairs of the world and court affairs.

Discussing rituals in court, Confucianism discussing politics, cooking wine discussing the world, these discussions among scholars are all Confucian traditions handed down one by one, and it is also an opportunity for scholars to become famous.

"It's better to come early than coincidentally!"

Mu Jing became interested, and said: "Today we will experience the so-called Confucianism on politics!"

Is Confucianism on politics a debate for future generations?

He would like to see what the scholars of this era are talking about. As an alternate scholar, he has integrated into the circle of scholars, so he has to learn to get used to some Confucian traditions, and it is best to make use of them. Woke up.
