Xuande

Chapter 79
Of course mediocrity has no possibility of being rewarded, but Liu Bei is not mediocre.

He has ideas and practical methods. He considers himself a motivator. As long as Liu Hong has the courage and determination, he can make a big difference in this matter.

"What your majesty said, I naturally know that if I am not sure, I dare not speak to your majesty. In fact, I have thought about it for a while. As far as the current situation is concerned, the contradiction between the ancient text school and the modern text school is difficult to reconcile. .

It’s just that this contradiction has lost its prominence because of the party’s policy, so some more enlightened scholars will seek the cooperation of the School of Classical Classics and the School of Modern Classics to fight against eunuchs together. Among them, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family in Runan is the leader .

As a son of the Yuan family who is the leader of the Jinwen Jing school, he tried his best to win over the ministers who were the heirs of the Guwen Jing school.

It is true that Yuan Shao, as the concubine of the Yuan family, is doomed not to be able to inherit the entire family business and not be able to inherit "Meng Shiyi", but his background has already destined him to be stamped with the seal of Jinwen Confucianism School, which cannot be removed. Such an action might not have been without the connivance of Yuan's family. "

After hearing this, Liu Hong sighed.

"Hearing Xuande's words, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds. I am really lucky to have Xuande! Xuande, keep talking!"

Obviously, Liu Hong has not received in-depth explanations and guidance on the internal composition and disputes of the scholars, and obviously does not have a good understanding of the current political ecology of the scholars in the Han Empire, so after receiving Liu Bei's in-depth explanation, it is like a treasure.

Liu Bei is not stingy with his knowledge.

Because I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

"Originally, the mutual understanding and cooperation between the School of Classical Classics and the School of Modern Classics was very difficult, and it took a long time. However, the impeachment of 26 county sheriffs by the Dang Gu and this time, this process has been greatly affected Promoted.

The minister was by Yuan Benchu's side and planned this series of actions for him. He not only used the power of the scholars of the ancient school of classics, but also the power of the scholars of the modern school of classics. Therefore, this is an unprecedented battle between the two schools of scholars. joint action.

They all obeyed Yuan Shao's call, obeyed the minister's command, and cooperated with each other. They temporarily abandoned their sect views, just to fight against the eunuchs and fight against the party. The scholars who were not united before were united unprecedentedly in this operation. Not good for His Majesty. "

Liu Bei's analysis made Liu Hong frown, obviously aware of the danger brought by the merger of the two major factions of scholars.

"In this case, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"That's true. The Ancient Text School and the Modern School don't talk about converging. As long as the two sides strengthen cooperation, it will definitely have a profound impact on the situation of the Han Dynasty and threaten the current political situation. Once they confirm that they cannot use conventional methods to break through the current predicament, There will be a riot."

Liu Bei continued to warn Liu Hong.

Liu Hong gasped, and looked at Liu Bei in disbelief.

"Do they dare to rebel?"

"No one can predict what the bleeding beast will do in the face of life-threatening threats, so I cannot deny this possibility."

Liu Hong stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

Looking at the countermeasures between Liu Bei and Liu Hong, Zhang Rang suddenly felt a sense of urgency that he was being ignored.

So he spoke sourly from the side.

"When the matter has come to this point, you are not the one who planned it in the play? Now you are here to offer advice and claim credit! Shameless!"

"Without your failure to oust 26 sheriffs in one go, would I have a chance to speak? What happened? Who started this? Don't you understand? This is my fault?"

Liu Bei replied unceremoniously, Zhang Rang was choked and speechless.

Hearing this, Liu Hong gave him a dissatisfied look, which made him immediately lower his head, not daring to say anything more.

So Liu Bei then gave Liu Hong an analysis of the contradictions among the scholars and how to use them, including the current views of the scholars' groups on the emperor and eunuchs.

When he heard that the current scholar groups, especially those of the Jinwen Confucianism School, were generally dissatisfied with the emperor himself, Liu Hong was angry and worried at the same time.

"This group of insects have harmed me a lot. They have embezzled the country's tax revenue, making the tax revenue go from bad to worse, and the treasury is empty. I have no money to do anything! I have no choice but to fight back. Now it is shameless to turn the blame on me. Extreme!"

Liu Beixin said that your old man didn't do anything good.

The eunuchs did hit the scholars, but they were like evil spirits to the common people. They robbed the money of the scholars and the poor ghosts, and had no positive effect on the big men.

Immortals fight and mortals suffer, the city gate catches fire and fish in the pond, you are all bastards, don't laugh at the elder brother.

For the final downfall of the big man, both of you have made contributions that cannot be ignored.

Cao Pi should give you a big medal, Sima Yi should stand up and toast you, Sima Yan should kneel down and kowtow to thank you!

But at this moment, Liu Bei must of course stand on Liu Hong's side.

"Although this is true, insects will not think that they have made a mistake. Even if someone thinks so, they will not publicly say that the scholars have made mistakes, so your Majesty must not continue to make a sweep of the scholars. Otherwise, it will only continue to accelerate the process.”

"Then what should I do? Xuande, tell me."

Liu Bei calmed down for a while, took a deep breath, and slowly revealed his plan.

"First of all, it is natural to find ways to divide the scholars, and we cannot allow the School of Modern Classics and the School of Ancient Classics to keep warm. My suggestion is that among the 26 newly appointed county guards, those who belong to the School of Classical Classics can take office directly.

And those who belong to the Jinwen Jing school have to go to Xiyuan to pay money before they can take office. If they don’t pay the money, they can’t take office. Great stimulus to the school of scriptures. "

"Is that so..."

Liu Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "It makes sense, if we treat them differently, we won't worry that there will be no quarrel between them."

Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Even though your majesty ordered Zhang Rang and others to come forward, after this incident, you should first make a gesture to slowly ease the party siege against the scholars of the ancient text school and continue to maintain the party siege on the scholars of the modern school. , wait and see what happens.

If they have started to split and fight after this change, they will continue to maintain this strategy. If they can still unite and target the eunuchs and His Majesty, His Majesty can start to attack the Five Classics and Fourteen Schools of Law, and release the plan to establish Zuo's Spring and Autumn School Officials. news. "

Zhang Rang couldn't bear it anymore.

"With such an obvious strategy, do you really think they are idiots?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is because it can't be on the stage. Once it is seen through, it will be defeated. The reason why the conspiracy is on the stage is that it is on the stage. Everyone knows it, but it can't be resisted. My plan is the conspiracy. Not a conspiracy.

It has been a long, long time since the scholars of the School of Classical Classics wanted to promote the study of Classical Classics into the academy. Wang Mang had such a situation before, but was blocked by the School of Modern Classics. Will live with it?
Even if they knew that this was an overt conspiracy by the imperial court, what could they do?Would the scholars of the School of Classical Classics give up the opportunity for Zuo Shi Chunqiu to set up academic officials in order to unite with the School of Classical Classics?Would the scholars of the Modern Literature School tolerate their division of interests in order to unite the Ancient Literature School?

Your Majesty, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, the prosperity of the world is for profit, the Confucian scholars are full of benevolence and morality, and all of their hearts are profit. Their only goal of action is also profit. They absolutely cannot resist this conspiracy. Inevitably split. "
