Han Dao world

Liu Xie didn't answer Zhen Mi immediately, but just blinked.

Seeing this, Ma Yunlu quietly winked at Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi didn't know why, and was looking at Liu Xie expectantly, wanting to hear Liu Xie praise her.

Liu Xie thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mrs. Tang is right. Although you are a woman, you have a delicate heart and can be alone. How about it, are you interested in making contributions overseas?"

Zhen Mi's face turned pale immediately.

Ma Yunlu pulled Zhen Mi over, and teased, "Seeing that you always think about your achievements, why are you afraid when the opportunity comes?"

"I……"

"Reluctance to bear His Majesty?"

Embarrassed, Zhen Mi looked up at Ma Yunlu.Ma Yunlu squeezed his eyes, Zhen Mi suddenly realized, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Liu Xie could see clearly, but didn't say anything, just chuckled lightly.

"I will also go to the Western Regions." He paused, and then said: "Yun Lu will also go."

Zhen Mi tilted her face slightly, and looked at Liu Xie secretly, but was caught by Liu Xie, and was immediately embarrassed.

"Your Majesty...will you really go to the Western Regions?"

"As long as possible, I will definitely go." Liu Xie took Ma Yunlu's hand and held it in his palm. "This is what I promised you."

Ma Yunlu blushed, and twitched his face lightly, but couldn't get it out.

Zhen Mi's eyes flickered. "Your Majesty, isn't the Western Region... a land of barbarians?"

"The land can only be divided into fertile and barren, and there is no difference between civilization and barbarians." Liu Xie said leisurely: "Even if it is a barren land, if there are people, there is civilization. There is no distinction between civilization itself, the difference is only in It’s just about the level of production capacity. People with advanced productivity are not necessarily civilized people, they may also be barbaric robbers.”

Zhen Mi was a little dizzy, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Ma Yunlu didn't want to ask, but just listened quietly.

Liu Xie didn't want to explain either.

He really wanted to go to the Western Regions, beat up the ancestors of the robbers who regarded themselves as civilized people, and send them to the mountains to mine.

But the reform of the Central Plains has not been completed, and he cannot leave.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to make concessions to Yang Biao and others.It's too easy to talk, they will push forward, and the reform will stagnate, and may even deform and take a detour.

Although he was young and had plenty of time, he couldn't blindly appease.

He had to let them understand that he was only willing to give them a chance, not to ask for them, and he couldn't let them be at their mercy.

The initiative must be in your hands.

talent?With the blessing of printing technology, the most indispensable thing is talents.

Besides, what kind of talent is someone who can only read sage books, speak benevolence and morality, and have an extremely honest body.

Faith must be put into practice to be true belief, otherwise it is all a lie.

In contrast, he actually admired Li Ying, Fan Pang and others. Although they were a little extreme, they were willing to sacrifice for their ideals.

What are those people who are attached to Gongsundu?

Such people are all sent overseas to let them fend for themselves.Whether they can wake up and kill a bloody road depends on their own good luck.

-

Yang Biao returned to his temporary office, thought for a while, sent someone to invite Xing Yong, and informed him of the emperor's decision.

Xing Yong was not reconciled, and still felt that the punishment was too heavy.

Yang Biao said that he agreed with this decision, and believed that the Taiwei Mansion and Sikong Mansion would not object.

Gongsun Du was just a Liaodong prefect, and he dared to act rebelliously, which was tantamount to killing himself.If the emperor does not punish, the scholars living in Jiaozhou and Yizhou will definitely feel that the court is weak, and they will unscrupulously contribute to those officials who are disobedient, which will inevitably affect the process of unification of the world.

To take a step back, those people are attached to Gongsundu, which shows that their morality and knowledge are not commendable, and they are not worthy of your running for them.

It is better to let them follow Liu Bei and Sun Ce to conquer overseas, or stay in Liaodong, than to be imprisoned for life.

After hearing this, Xing Yong didn't dare to say anything more.

The responsibility of affecting the unification of the world is too great for him to bear.

Furthermore, the emperor limited the target of punishment to those who depended on Gongsundu, instead of targeting all those who lived in Liaodong, which is also considered restraint.According to his understanding, those well-known Confucian scholars such as Guan Ning and Bing Yuan did not serve in Gongsundu's puppet court, so they should not be implicated, and he didn't need to be too persistent and conflict with the emperor.

"Mr. Yang, will the emperor's move become a court system?"

Yang Biao pondered for a moment. "Zi Ang, the study of Confucian classics is still the most profound knowledge, but I am afraid that it is impossible to become an official based on mastering the classics. As for those who are invited to be famous, it is even more impossible. Only those who have both ability and morality, and the unity of knowledge and action are the best. A pillar that the imperial court needs."

Xing Yong's face was hot.

He suspected that Yang Biao was euphemistically criticizing him for being old-fashioned, but Yang Biao didn't tell the truth, and he couldn't make fun of himself.

Displeased, Xing Yong stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing Xing Yong's dejected appearance, Yang Biao also sighed secretly.

He has already said it very thoroughly, but he can't decide whether Xing Yong—and people who have similar thoughts with him—can understand and accept it.This is a time of change, and if nothing else happens, a large number of scholars will suffer setbacks.

Just like the Confucian students in Lu who rejected Shu Suntong back then.

The times are changing, and Confucianism must change accordingly, otherwise it will be eliminated.

Where is the next Dong Zhongshu?

Yang Biao thought for a long time, and decided to write to Kong Rong, Wang Lang and others to discuss this issue.

-

The treatment plan for Liaodong was sent to Chang'an and the three government conferences.

As expected by Yang Biao, Taiwei Jia Xu hardly hesitated, firmly supported the emperor, and emphasized the great significance of deterring Jiaozhou and Yizhou.Although Sikong Zhouzhong had some ideas, he did not strongly object.After adding some details, the resolution was quickly passed.

After the countersign, the settlement plan was quickly sent back to Jizhou, and at the same time made public in the form of a residence report.

It was as if a boulder had been thrown into the water, causing huge waves. The already fiercely debated Taixue was the most affected. Almost everyone abandoned the previous issues and began to discuss the possible impact of this solution.

Those with relatives and friends in Jiaozhou and Yizhou did not dare to neglect, and immediately wrote letters to ask those relatives and friends who were stranded to return home as soon as possible.

The emperor has pacified Liaodong, Sun Ce will soon move to Jiaozhou, and Sun Rui will also march into Yizhou.As the victories continued on the battlefield, the emperor became more confident and the punishment became more severe.

If they don't come back, they may never come back.

Almost at the same time, Kong Rong, Wang Lang and others received a letter from Yang Biao.

Knowing the game behind the edict, they all feel that the situation is serious and cannot be underestimated.

The emperor personally sits in Jizhou and strongly recommends Dutian, which makes the aristocratic and rich families miserable, and at the same time accumulates prestige among ordinary people.In the case of vigorously promoting education, within three to five years, the emperor will have enough talents to use, and he will no longer be subject to scholar-bureaucrats.

On the contrary, scholar-bureaucrats who stick to the Confucian classics but have no actual administrative ability will be excluded from official careers.

In particular, positions that require relevant professional skills will be monopolized by students who graduated from various schools.

If there is no way, Confucian scholars will lose their right to speak in counties and counties within ten years. After 20 or 30 years, the voices of Confucian scholars in court will be weak and inaudible.

It is the consensus of countless people that action must be taken.

But how to act has caused huge differences.

Kong Rong Lubu wrote a letter, suggesting to revise "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji".

His reason was that when the "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji" was compiled, Emperor Xiaoling came to the throne not long ago and was underage, and the government was controlled by Cao Jie and others.The corruption of the government of this dynasty began when Emperor Xiaohuan reused eunuchs. Cao Jie and others interfered with the compilation of history for their own benefit, resulting in inaccurate records.

The emperor's system of dismissing eunuchs is a wise move and deserves praise.Now that there are no eunuchs to restrain it, it is necessary to revise "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji", remove the false and preserve the true, and compile a reliable history.

Chapter 986 New and Old Friends

Kong Rong's suggestion is not unreasonable.

First of all, he shifted the fundamental responsibility to Emperor Xiaohuan and avoided Emperor Xiaoling, the first emperor, so as not to arouse the emperor's disgust.

Secondly, the target of his sword is the eunuch.With the abolition of the eunuch system, the power of the eunuchs has been completely defeated, and no one dares to stand up against it.Even if someone has doubts about this, they will not take the initiative to jump out and complain for the eunuch.

This is almost a battle without opponents, and victory is at your fingertips.

When the "Emperor Xiaoling Ji" was being compiled, Kong Rong's suggestion meant to blame Xiaohuan and slander Xiaoling, and it was very likely that the emperor would support him.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Kong Rong's suggestion seems to agree with the emperor, but in fact it hides the intention of admonishing the emperor.

Emperor Xiaohuan had two most criticized disorderly regimes: one was to re-use eunuchs, which disrupted discipline; the other was to re-use Duan Jiong to use soldiers against the Eastern Qiang.

Duan Jiong's victory won Emperor Xiaohuan a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title, but it pushed the finances, which were already beyond their means, to collapse. As a result, Emperor Xiaoling was faced with the dilemma of not being able to release official salaries in time at the beginning of his succession to the throne.

It is true that the emperor abolished the eunuch system as good governance, but he planned to use troops overseas when the world was uncertain, which was worse and more dangerous than Emperor Xiaohuan.If we want to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we should stop using troops overseas and recuperate.

So as soon as Kong Rong's letter was announced, it won the praise of countless people.

Kong Rong was also very proud, so he specially came to Situ Mansion to ask Mi Heng for a drink, and wanted to hear Mi Heng's opinion.

Mi Heng had already prepared for Kong Rong's arrival, so he asked a young official to take Kong Rong to a small courtyard aside, and waited for him to finish his official duties before meeting Kong Rong.

Seeing Mi Heng posing, Kong Rong was a little upset, pushed away the little official who greeted him, and went straight to the main hall.

The main hall of Situ Mansion was transformed into a large office by Mi Heng, even the corridors were full of people.Some are waiting to report to work, while others are dealing with related affairs.Sitting in the main hall, Mi Heng is facing a large case, on which there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and stacks of official documents.

When Kong Rong came in, Mi Heng was approving official documents while listening to the two people before the case to report on affairs.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mi Heng looked up and saw that it was Kong Rong, frowned, but did not speak.

Kong Rong didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening for a while, he realized that what the two reported was not the same thing.

One was talking about sericulture, and the other was talking about preparing money and food for the Northern Army.

The voices of the two were not loud. While talking, they also looked at the ledger in their hands and reported a series of numbers.

Just when Kong Rong was surprised, Mi Heng raised his head, handed the official document in his hand to the side official, and at the same time said to the person on the left who was talking about sericulture: "You check the accounts clearly before reporting, don't waste my money." time."

The man was taken aback. "Chang Shi, this account has been checked three times, and there is no corruption."

The small official who reported the Northern Army's money and food on one side ignored it and continued to report.

Mi Heng said several numbers in a row, and then sneered: "This is the number of mulberry fields in Nanyang the year before last, which is larger than the ones you reported just now. You said that the increase was [-]% last year. These mulberry fields fell from the sky? Even if You have added a few counties that were originally assigned to Zhangling today, and the numbers are not right. If it is not a miscalculation, it is an inflated number."

The man's face changed slightly, he didn't dare to talk too much, he held up the ledger, bowed twice, and went down.

The little official who reported the Northern Army's money and rations happened to have finished speaking, and was waiting for Mi Heng's reply.

While beckoning another person to come forward, Mi Heng picked up an official document, pointed out the pen without any dots, and said in his mouth: "The plan that the Taiwei Mansion reported to the Situ Mansion before is to enter the army after the autumn harvest today. In addition to enlisting the local militia In addition to transporting grain, we also need to take advantage of the free time in summer to inspect the river to reduce the consumption of transporting grain. The first batch of money and grain paid is for clearing the river, and does not include the cost of marching troops after autumn. The Situ Mansion has already arranged for the money and grain. At that time, it will naturally be dialed over, and there will be no less stone."

"Here." The clerk responded, and sent a document to Mi Heng. Mi Heng glanced at it, approved a few words on it, and then asked someone to seal it.

Kong Rong stood aside, dumbfounded.

He knew that Mi Heng had the ability to never forget, but it was the first time he saw Mi Heng multitasking and handling several affairs at the same time.

"Has your long history been so hard?" Kong Rong asked the young official beside him.

The young official nodded and looked at Mi Heng with admiration in his eyes. "You Changshi is really a genius. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he is also as careful as a hair. No matter how small a mistake is, it is difficult to hide it from his eyes. It is really wise for Situ to appoint him as a long history and give him the post of residence. Don't worry, sir, he will be free after a while."

Kong Rong looked the little official up and down. "You are very unfamiliar, just entered the mansion?"

The clerk smiled slightly. "Sir is really clever."

Kong Rong pouted.As soon as he heard the little official talk, he knew that he was new here, and he didn't even know the relationship between him and Mi Heng, and thought he was here to visit Mi Heng.

"Where is the family?"

"From Xiangyang, my surname is Yang, my name is Yi, and my cursive style is Weigong. I am 14 years old this year. I just entered Situ's mansion half a month ago, and I am a running official."

"From Xiangyang." Kong Rong smiled slightly. "Who recommended you? Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong?"

Yang Yi was a little unhappy, put away her smile, and said lightly: "I got in by myself." He paused, and then said: "Because I have some experience in arithmetic, I was attracted by your long history."

Kong Rong looked at Yang Yi in surprise.

Yang Yi said it politely, but to be favored by someone like Mi Heng, it is definitely not something that can be done with a little experience in mathematics, it must be outstanding.

"I happen to have a problem, can you help me figure it out?"

Yang Yi glanced at Kong Rong, and stretched out her hand to signal Kong Rong to follow him.The two returned to the small courtyard before. Yang Yi invited Kong Rong to sit down in the hall, then took out a counting chip, and said to Kong Rong, "Please come up with a question, sir."

Kong Rong was also polite and asked a question.

He has nothing to do in Taixue recently, and often goes to the Lingtai to play, discussing some calendar issues with Taishi Ling Liu Hong, many of which are not small and require advanced arithmetic to solve.
