Volume 1 Chapter 5 Solar Eclipse

Emperor Liu Hong's work arrangements in Meirentai really made some people busy.

First of all, the team of painters carefully formed by the emperor was all dispatched to show their magical powers. Everyone hopes that their paintings will be favored by the emperor and the king's beauty. In this way, don't say that it is a reward for some wealth, if it is really a dragon's face and a great joy, you can get a 600 stone Shangshu or even a servant of 2,000 stones, then it is really a glorious ancestor, a glorious lintel. After all, He Jin only chanted two sentences, and half of the poem couldn't be called a Taishou who worshiped two thousand stones?

As for the pavilions, townships, and county marquis further up, and hundreds of thousands or even thousands of households in the food estate, they didn't dare to think about it. After all, He Jin made the emperor so happy, and he was not made a marquis in the end.

He Jin, as the first person to eat crabs since the establishment of Hongdu Gate School, has really set an incomparably tall image benchmark for the art creators of this era. In the future, it will be a well-known alumnus, or the first person in the Hall of Fame, if the Hongdu Sect School is carried forward in the future, it may even be able to mix with the title of honorary president or something.

It's just that what He Jin doesn't know is, oh no, He Jin naturally doesn't know.

It should be said that what Liu Wei didn't know was that he wanted to practice writing, and a few sentences in the "Luo Shen Fu" that he wrote silently at will actually become the pair of butterfly wings after he came to this era, fanning the first breeze of the Han Dynasty in the last four hundred years.

"The wind is blowing." A tall and thin elder stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the sleeping young (harmonious) child on the couch with great pampering, and whispered to the surrounding servants: "Let's take Ah Yan back to the inner hall." ”

The elder's name is Cai Yong, the word Bo Jiao, the official worships Lang, and the rank is more than 600 stones. The Ah Yan in his mouth, named Cai Yan, was two years old at the time, and Cai Yong got this daughter at the age of forty-four, so he naturally loved him very much.

Although Cai Yong is not a big official, his fame is great. In particular, filial piety is simply famous all over the world, it is said that Cai Yong's mother was sick for three years in her early years, and in order to serve her mother, she did not untie her clothes for three years. After his mother died, Cai Yong built a small house next to the tomb and kept filial piety for three years and three years. Later, even the trees next to the tomb actually gave birth to Lianli branches, and the people of the time thought that Cai Yong's filial piety was profound, and he moved the heavens and the earth, so that there was this wonder. Since then, the name of Cai Yong to filial piety is known all over the world, and it is called Cai Bojiao of filial piety.

The celebrity effect of the Han Dynasty is like this, as long as a person is famous, he is not afraid of no official to do. Since then, Cai Yong has been on the rise, serving as the commander of Heping County, and was recalled by the emperor to the center, worshiped Langzhong, and now he is already a councilor.

Cai Yong's artistic attainments are also very high, especially good at calligraphy and rhythm, and people who are busy because of the beauty station are naturally indispensable.

The emperor's will has come down, and Cai Yong is asked to preside over the erection of the monument on the beauty platform, and Cai Yong is also required to preside over the construction of the "stele forest" in Hongdu, which is used to record the poetry and beauty of contemporary literary youth.

The emperor also specifically requested that there should be 73 steles in the forest of steles, one of which is the main stele and the remaining 72 are secondary steles, so as to imply the meaning of Confucius and his 72 disciples. The so-called ancient Confucian scriptures have seventy-two sages, and the saints have one of them. Today, there are seventy-two talented people with poetry, and Wenzong also has one of them.

All of a sudden, the scholar class jumped again.

Although the erection of monuments in the Eastern Han Dynasty is an extremely common thing, to a large extent, they are all classics of the sages and Confucian classics. For example, the verification and copying of "Lu Shi", "Shangshu", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Ram Biography", "Rituals" and "Analects" that began in the fourth year of Xiping (175 AD) have only completed one-third of them after three years. Moreover, these inscriptions stood in front of the Taixue Gate, and Cai Yong, who presided over the copying, estimated that there were only forty-six stone tablets after all the copying and carving were completed. And now that Hongdu has been built, the emperor wants to carve seventy-three stone tablets in it, which is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the scholar group who believe in scriptures.

The originally proud scripture stele was not tall in an instant?

And what is even more infuriating is that there are seventy-two ancient sages, which one is not the object of study that scholars now look up to and even worship all their lives? And now the side door and left road of poetry are compared to ancient sages by the emperor, and even what kind of Wenzong has been made to benchmark Confucius Sheng? The soldiers were angry, they were really angry!

As a result, a letter of admonition was passed to Shangshutai, and it was transferred to Emperor Liu Hong through the hands of Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others.

"Wang Fu!"

"The minister is here!"

"You say, why don't these ministers support me?" Liu Hongzhi asked, déjà vu.

"Forgive the minister for being stupid, and the minister is also very puzzled." Wang Fu seems to have learned to be obedient this time, so he simply asked and didn't know.

"Are you stupid? Are you stupid, and there are wise people in this world? Liu Hong glanced at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu laughed dryly twice and said, "Your Majesty said that you are laughing." ”

"As Master Liu said, it is difficult to learn from Hongdu, and I have been in the past four hundred years, and I have not tried to give the good and bad officials with poetry and writing, and I must not set this precedent, and the heart of the corporal in the cold world." Liu Hong sighed and said.

"The captain is also playing?" Wang Fu was puzzled.

Liu Hong copied the prelude to the case and threw it in front of Wang Fu: "The captain is not on the book, you don't know better than me." ”

Wang Fu hurriedly knelt down and picked up the book, and when he saw that it was Cai Yong, who was the speaker and the seal, he couldn't help but feel worried and suspicious.

"I don't blame you for reading the silk privately, don't be afraid." Liu Hong will continue to sigh and say: "I told Master Liu a few years ago about running a school in Hongdu, and now what Master Liu told me is also told me in private. ”

"After all, did I do something wrong this time?" Liu Hong sighed.

Wang Fu hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to all the people, and the learning of Hongdu benefits students all over the world, what is wrong?" The minister thinks that whether this official does it or not, who will do it, should be the dictatorship of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, this hall full of civil and military nobles of the Nai Shi clan, this one is two thousand stones, the other one is two thousand stones, and he eats more of the king's Lu, but he is not loyal to the king's things, and the young talents he cites are nothing more than the old people of the country, how can His Majesty not know that the positions of the hundred officials in the world are probably from some families? ”

"Oh?" Liu Hongxian was interested, and motioned for him to continue.

As far as the minister knows, how many powerful families in the world, the children of the poor family, have the talent to govern the world and the country, that is, they want to spend money to buy (harmonious) officials to share the worries of His Majesty, and there is no way! According to the minister's opinion, this Hongdu study should not only be done, but also done, and Hongdu talents should not only be used, but also reused! In this way, the world can see His Majesty's holy virtue, and the whole world returns to the heart! Wang Fu finished speaking in one breath, but his face was full of laughter.

"Yes, what Aiqing said is very satisfying!" Liu Hong couldn't help but praise: "It's just Master Liu's advice, what should I do?" ”

Wang Fu bowed and said: "What the Taiwei said, although it is biased, does not lose the views of loyal ministers, and the ministers think that Hongdu students can be selected and sent by the three princes of the state and county, so that they can block the mouths of the people." ”

"Very good! Very good! Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Aiqing is a good man, why is he the champion Hou?" ”

"Your Majesty laughed." Wang Fu couldn't help but be embarrassed.

The monarchs and ministers in the palace were happy, and the atmosphere was so unhappy, but they listened to the exclamations of everyone under the corridor, and they didn't know why.

Wang Fu heard the shouting, and got angry, hurriedly got up and retreated, and went out to scold: "What are you yelling at one by one, your head doesn't want ......"

But when he saw that he had not finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, crawled into the temple, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... A solar eclipse, a solar eclipse! ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he was also shocked, and hurriedly paced out the door, looking up at the sky. I saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and half of the sun was completely obscured. Seeing that he was strong and calm, he muttered: "Master Liu, this captain, has also done it......

PS: Well, I blew up a poisonous point, in fact, the first time Liu Kuan deposed the Third Duke in the history books was in the sixth year of Xiping, that is, in 177, because of a solar eclipse. The author originally wanted to relate some stories of Hongdu Menxue, so he changed the solar eclipse to 178 without authorization, and Liu Kuan's official was postponed for a year.
