Xun Wenqian turned over and sat up. "Your Majesty, my concubine has recently translated an article. Would you like to take a look and help me pick out the mistakes?"

"Yes. What article? Who wrote it?"

"A Greek philosopher, about the same time as the saint, named Aristocalus. Alas, the name of this Western Regions man is troublesome. But his article is very interesting, a bit like a famous writer's white horse and non-horse theory. It seems nonsense, but there is something Reasonable. I can't make up my mind, and I haven't dared to send it out."

Chapter 764 Be Prepared

"Are you still studying famous artists?" Liu Xie was very curious.

"Don't dare to talk about study, just listen to it when you are free. I didn't know much about it at first, but after seeing the strange theories of the philosophers of the Western Regions, I felt that there were similarities with famous scholars, so I found them and read them. I think they still make sense."

"only you?"

"Uh..." Xun Wenqian hesitated and looked at Liu Xie timidly.

Liu Xie encouraged them to study, but Liu Xie paid attention to the truth and had no interest in these almost sophistry theories.

"Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors. Learning and learning, learning and questioning, and learning from each other, can improve. Especially famous scholars, if they study alone, it is easy to get stuck."

Xun Wenqian was relieved. "The queen also read some, but she doesn't like to argue, so she doesn't really care."

"Let me see." Liu Xie sat up.

Xun Wenqian was overjoyed, got up and got out of bed, took out a few pages from the desk beside her, and quickly got back under the mosquito net.While sitting up and down, his clothes were opened and closed, his youth flashed, and Liu Xie immediately regretted it.

It's a great time, what famous artists are we talking about.

Life and strangers should be discussed.

Liu Xie took Xun Wenqian's translation, and after reading a few lines, he felt a little familiar. He thought that Aristocaros should be someone he knew. This article was also a famous article, but his understanding of Western philosophy was limited. , I just can't remember who it is for a while.

This article discusses justice and self-interest, specifically, the relationship between the individual and the collective. Each has its own clever theory, which is still very brilliant, and it also has something in common with the current situation.

"I don't know much about this kind of academics, and I don't know the characters of the Western Regions. I'm afraid I can't give you much advice. You might as well post this translation to the residence newspaper so that more people can discuss it."

"Forget it then." Xun Wenqian shook her head again and again. "The concubine reads this just for entertainment, and doesn't want to argue with others. Besides, there is a lot of noise in the mansion newspaper. How dare I make a fool of myself with this little thing. I just ask your majesty to give me some pointers if you are interested."

"I don't agree with your opinion. Stones from other mountains can be used to make jade. The establishment of the Tongwen Museum to translate theories of the Western Regions is to absorb the academic essence of the Western Regions and use them for my own use. This article has a value worthy of discussion. Confucian writing is poor."

"Your Majesty really thinks so?"

"of course."

Xun Wenqian thought about it, but shook her head. "Forget it, the articles that can be published in the Dibao are limited, and many people are waiting. If the concubine goes, it won't be a chance for others."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.

He is also aware of the problem.After the publication of the article by the three of Xu Jing, it aroused fierce debate, and this form also made many people feel fresh. The topic of discussion has developed from Dutian to academic details, and many people want to post articles on it.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately did this to reduce the discussion on Du Tian.

But it is indeed a fact that the Dibao is easy to be limited.A mansion newspaper can only post a maximum of [-] words, which is the capacity of three articles.If a certain article is longer, only two articles can be published.

Increasing the capacity is a way, but the cost will also increase, and it is not very convenient for storage.

With the existing manpower and material resources of the bookstore, it is not easy to achieve the normal publication of [-] words per day.

"Then translate it first, and then compile and publish it after the lectures are over." Liu Xie patted Xun Wenqian's hand. "Anyway, the Tongwen Library will also build a bookstore in the future. You can put this book on the waiting list."

"The concubine would be respectful rather than obedient." Xun Wenqian happily put away the article. "Your Majesty, when the bookstore of the Wenguan is built, can the concubine visit it often?"

"You want to do something too?"

"Well, my concubine is not as dexterous as Dong Wan and Song Du, so it's okay to do some chores."

Liu Xie laughed. "Then you can go to Taixue's bookstore for an internship tomorrow. If possible, you will be in charge of Tongwenguan's bookstore in the future."

"The concubines don't dare to be ambitious."

"What dare not." Liu Xie hugged Xun Wenqian in his arms. "Your energy is beyond your imagination. Don't underestimate yourself and try boldly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xun Wenqian was overjoyed, and kissed Liu Xie's face forgetfully.

"So perfunctory?" Liu Xie squinted at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian blushed, shrank into Liu Xie's arms, and said in a low voice: "Only His Majesty's orders are to be obeyed."

The next morning, before dawn, Mi Heng got up to take a shower.

After breakfast, he and Pang Rou rushed to Situ's Mansion.

Hanyang County's plan was probably the earliest, and Situ Mansion was not mentally prepared. Shi Duji, the chief Situ who was in charge of the reception, looked at Mi Heng for a long time, suspecting that they were looking for trouble.

"Has the autumn harvest in Hanyang been completed?" Du Ji flipped through the accounting book.

"Hanyang adopts a quota system. You don't have to wait until August to know this year's harvest. According to the current situation, this year's harvest will only be better than expected. The scheduled tasks can be easily completed. The tax that should be paid to the court Not one grain of wheat, one sheepskin."

Du Ji smiled. "Yang Fujun is very confident. Even so, isn't it more confident to plan after the autumn harvest?"

"There are special circumstances, and we have to advance."

"What special circumstances?"

"The people in the county were deeply puzzled when they heard that the Guandong Dutian was blocked. They made plans in advance so that the court would know the reality of Hanyang and could levy it at any time."

The corners of Du Ji's eyes twitched, and his face sank. "What do you mean by that? When did the imperial court say they were going to recruit soldiers? Who is so bold as to spread rumors and talk about government affairs?"

"Chang Shi misunderstood." You Heng said lightly: "I just said that Hanyang can be confiscated at any time, and I didn't say that the imperial court will confiscate it. It's just a matter of being prepared. Is this also a bad thing? It seems that Chang Shi has never been to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is near Qianghu, Qianghu will come to rob, but they will not be notified in advance. In July, we must prepare for the autumn defense, and those who can fight are on standby at any time."

Du Ji was interrupted by Mi Heng, so it was not easy to get angry.

"Do you want to see Duke Yang? I can inform you."

"No need for now." Mi Heng took out a letter from Yang Xiu's family, handed it to Du Ji, asked Du Ji to pass it on for him, and then prepared to leave.

"Are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

You Heng raised his hand and said loudly: "Go to Taixue and teach those idiots a lesson."

Du Ji was speechless.

Only a madman like Mi Heng dares to say such crazy words.

He looked at the letter and accounting book in his hand, then turned and entered the back hall.

Yang Biao was practicing Wuqinxi. Seeing Du Ji walking in, he closed his posture slowly. "Was it Mi Heng just now?"

Du Ji smiled. "Since Yang Gong has practiced the Wuqinxi, his ears and eyes have become more and more clear, and he can expect to be a hundred years old."

Yang Biao snorted. "Are you still using your ears and eyesight? His voice is so loud and crazy that it can be heard outside Situ's mansion. What is this?"

"Young Master's family letter, and Hanyang County's account book."

"The account book?" Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, and took the account book. "So early?"

"Yes, I said it was prepared." Du Ji simply repeated Mi Heng's words.

Yang Biao frowned, smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed. "These boys have been in Liangzhou for a long time, and they are very pretty."

Chapter 765

Kong Rong was leaning on the table, holding milk in one hand and a mansion newspaper that smelled of ink in the other, reading while drinking.

The plate on the desk contained thin slices of mutton, crispy mustache, and a chicken.

A concubine knelt aside, peeled the chicken and handed it to Kong Rong's mouth.Kong Rong tilted his head, took the chicken in his mouth, and sniffed again.

"It smells so good, what kind of powder do you use?"

The concubine smiled shyly and said, "Falling into the forest for offering wine."

Confused, Kong Rong nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of Yizhou's famous powder, it is fragrant but not greasy. It is honest and top-grade. If you like it, I will ask someone to buy some from Yizhou."

"Thank you for the sacrificial wine."

Kong Rong laughed, leaned over to the concubine's delicate face, and took a deep breath.

"Old thief, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have fallen so low?" Mi Heng strode in, just in time to see this scene, and immediately stared and shouted.

When Kong Rong looked up, he was both surprised and happy. He put down the newspaper and milk and stood up.

"Zhengping, when did you arrive? Why didn't you let me know in advance so that I can pick you up."

"Let me tell you, can I still see your old and shameless real face?" You Heng raised the dust tail in his hand, glanced at the pale concubine, and then saw her slightly raised belly. "You are so old, and you are still so intemperate, do you think you are dying too slowly?"

"Hey." Kong Rong was not angry, and while pulling Mi Heng to his seat, he ordered someone to prepare breakfast.When he touched Mi Heng's arm, he couldn't help being surprised, and squeezed it twice. "Zhengping, is the water and soil in Hanyang so nourishing? You are so strong, you are a martial artist."

"If you want to know, you will know when you live in Hanyang for a few months." Mi Heng looked down at the food on the table and couldn't help frowning. "The imperial court's money is so tight that officials' salaries can't be paid in full. How can you be so extravagant? You really..."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Kong Rong couldn't hold back on his face. "Zhengping, you suffered a lot in Hanyang and came back to vent your anger on me, right? This is my own salary, so I have a clear conscience."

"I don't know if the people and soldiers who died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Beihai think so."

Kong Rong's face suddenly flushed red.

"You are full of knowledge and know the five classics, but you can't even manage a county well. It can be seen that this knowledge is flashy. Using flashy knowledge as a sacrifice to the Imperial Academy, you not only misunderstood the younger generation, but also failed the court's salary. An Neng has a clear conscience?"

Kong Rong narrowed his eyes. "It seems that Zhengping Hanyang and his party have achieved a positive result. They will use what they have learned in their hearts to stabilize the country and serve the court. I wonder if you have met the emperor first after you came back. The emperor must be very satisfied to see you."

"good."

"what?"

"I arrived in Chang'an yesterday. I went to the palace to meet the emperor at night, and talked with him in the middle of the night. Although the emperor was not very satisfied, he also felt that rotten wood can be carved, and he is not a stubborn person."

"Have you met the Son of Heaven?" Kong Rong didn't care about getting angry, and quickly pulled Mi Heng into a seat, urging him to speak quickly.

Mi Heng gave a rough account of how he met the emperor.

Kong Rong listened patiently, stroked his beard, and pondered for a while. "So, during Zhengping Hanyang's trip, what he gained was nothing more than the words 'deep root and solid foundation'?"

Mi Heng nodded solemnly. "Although these four words are simple, they are the right way. Those who follow them will be honored, and those who go against them will perish. Shandong scholar-bureaucrats try to use the mantis arm as a cart, and they will only be crushed into powder in the future. There is no reason to escape."

"Is it that serious?" Kong Rong was dubious.

"It is easy for Qin to destroy the six countries."

"This is not a good example." Kong Rong said with a smile, "It's fine if you talk about it in front of me, but if you talk about it in front of others, why won't someone accuse you of inappropriate quotations?"

"I said the same in front of the emperor."

Kong Rong was taken aback for a moment, then asked again, "What did the Son of Heaven say?"

Mi Heng squinted at Kong Rong, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. "The Son of Heaven said that corrupt Confucians can only talk about morality in empty words, and that they must call Qin Qin a tyranny, but they don't know that Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms has its own inevitable reason."

"..." Kong Rong was speechless, and became angry from embarrassment, but he couldn't break out.

He has been with Mi Heng for many years and knows Mi Heng's temper.If you really want to quarrel, Ni Heng will not save face for him.

"So, the division of the three families is inevitable?"

Mi Heng didn't answer, but took the residence newspaper on the case and read it.

Although Kong Rong is not young, he is a smart person and has the ability to draw inferences from one instance.He used to be pedantic because no one showed him the key to it. Now that he has proved this point with his own experience, Kong Rong can easily figure out other reasons.

He just refused to admit it.

You can tell from his tone that this is just the last struggle.

Mi Heng quickly read the mansion newspaper, clicked his lips, and frowned. "The imperial court put so much effort into publishing the Mansion Newspaper to discuss the matter of saving land. Why are these articles not exegetical, but research on nothingness? What impact does King Wu of Zhou's defeating Zhou have one year earlier and one year later?"

"Why didn't it matter?" Kong Rong couldn't help retorting: "King Wu defeated Zhou, the year was in the quail fire, the moon was in Tiansi, the sun was in Ximuzhijin, the morning was in the handle, and the stars were in the sky. If it is a year earlier, or a year later, can it still fulfill the destiny?"

Mi Heng snorted.

Kong Rong said again: "Don't take it for granted. Before the battle of Tianzi Huayin, didn't there also be red energy penetrating the Purple Palace?"

You Heng waved his hand. "Even if there is, it's just a coincidence, and it's not a lesson. In my opinion, it's not so much the destiny of King Wu to destroy the merchants, it's better to say that it's the location and the harmony of people."

"How to say?"

"Zhou was able to conquer Shang, firstly because Zhou occupied Guanzhong, had the advantage of land, and also joined the Qiang and Bashu barbarians as the forerunners. However, the Shang occupied Chaoge, did not know how to defend the upper reaches, but continued to use troops to the east, and it would be defeated. bureau."

Ni Heng smiled. "Now that Yuan Shao occupies Yecheng, he dares not go west, but only dares to show off his troops in the Central Plains. How is it different from King Zhou?"

Kong Rong took a breath, feeling a little toothache.

Mi Heng said again: "Zhou occupied Guanzhong and destroyed Shang, Qin occupied Guanzhong and destroyed the six kingdoms, and Emperor Gao occupied Guanzhong and destroyed Xiang Ji. This is all due to the favorable location. According to the favorable location, followed by the harmony of people, we can stand in an unstoppable state. In a defeated land, what does destiny matter here? The Master was born in Lu, Mencius was born in Zou, Xunzi was born in Zhao, Dong Zhongshu was born in Guangchuan, all Confucian sages were born in Shandong, and Shandong can be said to be the destiny. But there is history Since then, how can Shandong rule the world?"

Kong Rong couldn't hold back, his eyes widened. "Don't forget, Emperor Gao is from Shandong."
