Two days after Liu Yan finished meeting the emperor.

On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, the day of the great court meeting on the fifth day.

It has been ten days since the controversy of "Refuting Disasters and Differences" became popular in Luoyang.

Liu Yan, with the power of the number one in the education department, secretly pushed wildly for ten days, and the trolls in private also sprayed for ten days.

Today, all of this is finally coming to an end.

On the way to the court, you can still hear many civil officials who are famous for their scripture and literature, whispering and discussing this book.

"Zigan, you and Cai Bozhi are also familiar with each other, how could he write such a flattering article? I look at the writing and rigor of "Refutation of Disaster and Difference", which is not as clever as Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Dew", this Cai Yong is afraid that he will not be able to sit still in the opposition for ten years, and he will lose his backbone and want to make a comeback, right? ”

Shangshu Zheng Tai still pulled his old colleague Lu Zhi to complain. Lu Zhi has a more easy-going temperament and is reluctant to talk about people behind his back, so he casually copes with it.

But after a while, Shaofu Huang Wan and Weiwei Yang Biao also joined the discussion.

Next to him, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, who were military generals and were not very interested in Jingyi, joined the audit. Even Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, the big Si Nong, secretly watched the excitement.

It's a pity that Cao Song is a redundant and ugly widow, so those topics that spray Confucianism can't be his turn to speak anyway, and he can only listen to Shuangshuang secretly - no matter how bad Confucianism is, he is willing to be the emperor's eagle dog, can he be compared to a eunuch? The eunuchs were never ashamed of being unprincipled and loyal to the emperor, but were proud of it.

After everyone discussed for a while, the court meeting officially began, and everyone gradually quieted down. After some daily issues, Guo Sheng, the regular attendant of the Central Committee, took out a recital on behalf of the emperor, which was the good news of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and asked everyone to discuss.

“…… The rebels were inspired by the imperial court, abandoned Shanggu, and fled to Liaoxi......"

Guo Sheng first read Liu Yu's good news.

The courtiers listened, and their pupils suddenly dimmed a few times.

Hold the grass! We sprayed "Refutation of Disasters and Different Theories" for seven or eight days, and we actually saw the actual effect on the battlefield of counterinsurgency!

Liu Yu actually said that the recovery of Shanggu County was because of the people's hearts in the rebel-occupied areas, which were re-reformed by the imperial court and washed away the poisonous effect of Zhang Ju's previous slander against the imperial court's "selling official beards"!

Can propaganda warfare really play such a big role in winning over the hearts and minds of the people in enemy-occupied areas?

No matter how "pragmatist" they thought Cai Yong and Li Su's articles were, "disregarding discipline", and "slandering the sages", but now it turns out that people are really useful!

Since the end of March, Zhang Chun has occupied the entire Shanggu County, as well as most of the Dai County. Now he has finally uprooted the west road in the rebels' east and west base areas, and forced Zhang Chun to strategically transfer to Zhang Ju, which is a great merit!

Although the courtiers did not know that Zhang Chun gave up a destitute border county that had been completely scraped and cleaned, and would become a cage at any time.

The trend of public opinion immediately changed, and all the Confucian civil officials who had sprayed "Refuting Disaster and Different Theories" before had to adjust their posture and make up their statements, feeling that Cai Yong and Li Su were right.

It's just that they also have to point out: "Refutation of Disaster and Alien Theory" is really a bit unfinished, you only break it, and get rid of Dong Zhongshu's set of catastrophe and alien induction, so you can come up with some new orthodox argument articles!

Of course, these people didn't know that Li Su had prepared the "Theory of Prosperity and Happiness in the Temple", so he would wait for these great Confucians, who held the power of academic judgment in the world, to nod and depose the "Theory of Heavenly and Human Induction", and then find an appropriate time to come up with it in a few months.

The court meeting soon came to an end, and Guo Sheng saw that everyone was almost discussed, and pretended to say that he wanted to give feedback to His Majesty everyone's opinions, but in fact, he just went through the motions, and came back with a holy decree prepared in advance, and read the reward in public.

All the civil officials were very curious, thinking that they would summon Cai Yong back to the court to entrust him with important tasks, but the holy decree only wrote a lot of words to reward Cai Yong, and there were other rewards, and there was no mention of Cai Yong's officials.

At the same time, the second half of the decree mentions the request of Liu Yan, the pastor of Youzhou, to be honored and allowed to be honored, to be promoted to Maocai this year.

Lu Zhi, Zheng Tai, Huang Wan, Yang Biao...... All were aware of the power of this privileged kindness.

Twenty years have passed since the son of today ascended the throne! There has never been a time when the governor of a state has changed two people in a year, and both have been allowed to raise their own talents!

What an exception this is, it will definitely spread all over the capital tomorrow, and it will spread all over the world in a month!

Li Su's face is exposed!

He is the only Maocai in the world who has been raised again in a year in the twenty years of Emperor Ling's dynasty!

It's worth more than ordinary Maocai!

It's no wonder who let the emperor, who is a pragmatist, be tickled by the sycophant remarks that "natural disasters are not the emperor's immorality".

“…… Don't drive Li Su in Youzhou...... Privilege Youzhou Shepherd to raise his Mao Cai, and the court will grant the post of 'Protecting Wuhuan Captain and Supporting the Long History', and rank Qianshi ......"

With the reading of the will, the court meeting also ended.

And there is no doubt that because the reason for the traitor Zhang Ju's rebellion is "selling his official position", and now that Li Su is the main force to refute Zhang Ju, it is even more necessary to keep the positive examples of "Li Su and Liu Bei and others have never been bought, and His Majesty does not have to pay money for extrajudicial favors" to fight back against the thief.

Therefore, it was announced to the public that Li Su still had no money spent, so he got Maocai and a long history of 1,000 stones.

After the ministers retired from the court, the news spread in Luoyang City on the same day, and soon spread farther and farther, and it became a beautiful talk for a while.

……

After knowing that the emperor officially commended the judgment of Youzhou, Taichangqing Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After retiring from the dynasty, he immediately instructed his family to drive to the house of his old friend and servant Dong Fu for a secret talk.

That's right, it's the old god stick who dared to talk to him about the big rebellious words of "watching the dry elephant at night, Yizhou has the spirit of the son of heaven" half a year ago.

Since that secret conversation, the relationship between the two sides has become much more iron, almost becoming a grasshopper on a rope, and they dare to say anything in private.

This time he rushed to Dong Fu's mansion, Liu Yan was not polite at all, and went straight to the point: "It's a big deal!" His Majesty is very satisfied with the progress of Bo'an's counterinsurgency, and I see that he has been completely relieved about the trial implementation of the state pastoral system, and it is time to ask for Yizhou pastor. Dong Gong, last month, you and I discussed the law secretly, I think it is better to implement it as soon as possible. ”

Dong Fu is 81 years old, in the past six months, his body has weakened a little, and he can no longer get out of bed, listening to Liu Yan's decision, he gasped a few times with cloudy eyes: "After you enter Sichuan, sooner or later you will see my descendants." Dong, Ren, Yang, Chen and other Sichuan Confucianism four sects, several generations of marriage, each other as the inside and outside, but also hope to make the king take care of it. ”

Listening to Dong Fu's words, it is obvious that he and Liu Yan have made a lot of secret transactions during this time, and they have already distributed those rights before they get their hands.

And the two know each other's old bottoms, and they don't hide their embarrassment at all.

Liu Yan: "That's natural, let's talk about how to operate first-today's Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian is just a promiscuous person who buys officials to take office, you also said that as soon as this guy enters Sichuan, he will loot the people's fat and ointment, and it's time for Ren, Yang, and Chen to sue Yin Jian to stir up the people's rebellion."

In two and a half months, I want to see the urgent report that Xu Jian was killed by the rebellious people on His Majesty's desk, just wait for His Majesty to order me to replace Yin Jian and order me to be the pastor of Yizhou, and I will ensure that the Dong family of Shu County will be rich for a long time. As long as it is fast enough, it will be able to cross the Qinling Mountains before the winter snow covers the mountains this year. ”

Liu Yan's mood of being in a hurry to take up his post was also undisguised in front of Dong Fu.

As long as you cross the Qinling Mountains and arrive in Hanzhong, the follow-up road is easy to say, even if you walk slowly for a month or two, it will be fine. Because the climate of Daba Mountain south of Hanzhong is already relatively humid and hot, there will be no heavy snow in winter.

And whether the Qinling Mountains can be crossed before the winter snow covers the mountain, there is at least a half-year difference between the coming and going of the term. The ghost knows how long the emperor can live, and Liu Yan doesn't want to waste another half a year of layout time.

At this point, he not only thought about releasing rice thieves to intercept and kill Han envoys after entering Sichuan. Even how to help himself find a reason for appointment as soon as possible to enter Shu has thought very thoroughly.

Even things like the popular rebellion and the yellow scarf, if the natural state is not brewing fast enough, he can befriend the local forces and find a way to secretly catalyze the transformation and get rid of the Yan Jian.

Liu Yan didn't know that his painstaking efforts to promote Liu Yu's operation also made him enter Sichuan more than half a year earlier than the same period in history. But because of this, when he finally released the rice thief Zhang Lu to cut off the Hanzhong Road and intercept and kill the envoy of the Sichuan court, Zhang Lu also had to carry more than half a year longer than the original history to survive until the death of Emperor Ling of Han.

Whether Zhang Lu can bear it or not, whether the imperial court will have other countermeasures to react, whether this butterfly effect is a blessing or a curse, only God knows.

……

The words were divided into two ends, nine days after the end of the meeting on the side of Luoyang, on the fifteenth day of September.

Wuji County, Zhongshan County, a manor built by the mountains on the bank of the Hutuo River in the west of the city.

This is the property of the Zhen family, and the decoration is even more luxurious than the mansion in the city, but now it is used to entertain guests-

There is no way, the Zhen family is still serving filial piety, and can only vent the long-suppressed desire to show off their wealth by courtesy to guests. In this way, not only does not damage filial piety, but also wins the reputation of being strict with oneself and lenient with others.

At this moment, living in this manor is, of course, Cai Yong's family, plus Li Su, who just came recently.

They came here to discuss how to write the second half of "The Theory of Refutation of Disasters and Differences", "The Theory of Prosperity and Blessing in the Temple". There is also a paper workshop and a book printing workshop near the manor, which is the largest printing industry base today, and the supporting facilities are very complete.

Liu Yu knew that in order to divide the rebels, the next move would have to wait at least two months, and only after the rebels had fully exerted the adverse effect of "most of the wheat in western Liaoning was harvested by the people and turned over", the imperial court could implement the next move.

If you don't starve the enemy, it's useless to send messengers directly.

So in the two months of September and October, Li Su would be relatively free, and Liu Yu gave him a month and a half off, and asked him to find Cai Yong to quickly finish writing the political philosophy work that demonstrates "why did the Han Dynasty get the world for thousands of years"-

Although Liu Yu is not familiar with the scriptures, he can also see that "Refuting the Theory of Disaster and Difference" is only breaking but not standing, and after refuting Dong Zhongshu, a new theory has not yet been built.

It is best to wait for the future leader of the rebel army to give the head, and make this theoretical basis solid and clear to the world.

Then immediately kill the rebels, and achieve the propaganda effect of "Look, I just said that the anti-Han Dynasty will not die well, and you will not die well", shocking the hearts of the world from disobedience.

The court wants to talk about credibility, saying that if you kill the whole family of the thief, you will kill the whole family of the thief, and if you say that the thief will not die well, you will really not die well, and then there will be a deterrent.

So Li Su obediently accepted the order, and just arrived in Wuji in the past two days, and closed the door with Cai Yong to study political philosophy essay writing.

In the past few months, although Li Su has not had any opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the Cai family and the Zhen family, whether it is his series of operations of writing books or printing books, they are like the shadow of a famous tree, which has greatly changed the attitude of the two families towards him. Many little girls in both families have the potential to transform in the direction of fan girls.

Even Cai Yong himself, although he claimed that Li Su was his disciple to the outside world, when he talked about philosophical theories behind closed doors, he did not dare to hold it up at all, and only put on a posture of "discussing on an equal footing and expressing his own opinions".

This morning, Li Su had just finished discussing with Cai Yong a short section of the analysis of "The Blessing of the Palace", and was ready to take a break. Cai Yong listened with a slight admiration and quickly made a record.

(Note: For an overview of the theory of the blessing of the temple, see chapter 58 for details, and I also avoid a large section of water political philosophy materials after the fee, so the philosophy part will not be expanded in detail here)

Cai Yan, who is only thirteen and a half years old, has been pretending to help pack up the manuscript by the side, but in fact he is secretly eavesdropping, and while listening, he secretly sighs at the senior brother's far-reaching vision and philosophical subtlety.

"Senior brother, why don't you rest for a while and talk again, after drinking this cup of hot wine, how about the little sister stroke the piano for you and soothe your thoughts?" Cai Yan took advantage of Li Su's finish of speaking and his father sorting out the manuscript beside him, and handed Li Su a glass of wine.

"Actually, I'm not tired." Li Su took the cup, and said it very steelily, after all, he directly copied Song Lian Fang Xiaoru's thoughts, and what was the burden of copying the answer.

Cai Yan pouted, after yesterday's day of contact, she temporarily found that she could crush her senior brother in calligraphy and playing the piano, and the senior brother was not tired, how could she find herself under the stairs to express herself?

There are really a lot of secrets in this senior brother, it can be said that the dragon can't see the beginning but not the end, and I don't know how long it will take to understand him.

Although Cai Yan was in Chenliu a few months ago, he curiously peeked at Li Su in his mansion, and later learned about his senior brother's philosophical thoughts when he read his father's books. But that level of contact did not in any way ease the curiosity, for there was not even an opportunity to speak. The first time Li Su talked to Cai Yan was yesterday.

Fortunately, at this time, someone helped Cai Yan relieve the embarrassment.

"The angel of the court is here, and he is reading out His Majesty's reward and edict to Cai Gong and Li Beijia, hurry up and receive the edict!" Several servant girls from the Zhen Mansion ran into the inner courtyard in a hurry, and pulled Li Su out while rubbing oil with bright eyes.

The rest of the crowd hurriedly followed.
