Chapter 526: Lao Tzu

I read through the "Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice" written by the Marquis of Xi'an last night, and I benefited a lot, this book is really broad and profound, and the debate in the Shiqu Pavilion is only one corner of it, and even the crown prince has praised it again and again. “

Liu Xun and Ren Hong sat opposite each other, like more than ten years ago, when he first succeeded to the throne, and Ren Hong will rush to the Western Regions to be the protector of the capital, the conversation between the two, Ren Hong's bag, which has many clever plans, helped Liu Xun sit on the throne, so that he is still unforgettable.

But now, Liu Xun is full of thoughts, all he is thinking about is how to make Ren Hong take the initiative to give up Zuo Chuanli as an official school, and find out what he thinks in his heart to understand what he wants to do?

Ren Hong is straight to the point: "The minister and the crown after learning the Five Classics, but benefited a lot, a little gain, I don't want to be able to write a book and say, such a superficial learning, I only hope to be used by His Majesty, by the way, the minister entered the palace today, and there is still something to offer." “

Jin Anshang had already sweated for the Marquis of Xi'an before, and at this moment he was holding the object to show the emperor, but it was a wooden plank.

But it is a fine and solid wood, look at the color and texture should be jujube wood, one side of the wooden board with a knife carved into many yang characters, the strokes of each word protrude on the board, just like the Han Dynasty from officials to individuals, almost everyone is using the seal.

This is the year before last Ren Hong recruited dozens of well-known printers from all over the world, and the engraving printing technique was drummed out in the Marquis of Xi'an - this matter is relatively confidential, and not many people know about it, otherwise some people may impeach Ren Hong for "privately carving the emperor's seal"!

"Like a seal, an article can be printed on paper with ink, ten times faster than a hand-copy, and as long as the engraving is thoroughly checked, there will be no mistakes or omissions, and each printed article is the same."

The Han Dynasty is a country of legal orders, and the most troublesome part of promulgating laws is that each article must be copied by hand, and typos are inevitable, and Chinese characters are so magical, the difference between one word is enough to affect the meaning and sentencing, so every year each county has to send people to the Imperial History Office to hold a meeting to check the law.

And with the engraving printing, it is a lot more convenient, Ren Hong told the principle of engraving, not only the law, the edict of the Son of Heaven, the calendar, etc., are all needed to be passed on in the thirteen states of the world to protect more than 100 counties, hundreds of counties, thousands of townships, engraving can show its talents.

"Since then, the edicts, laws, agricultural books, and calendars of the Han family will all be in the world!"

"No wonder the dozens of "Justice" written by Qing are also the hands of one person." Liu inquired, he had already guessed that it was the new skill of Xi'an Hou, and today Fang Zhi actually used the commonplace seal technique, but except for Xi'an Hou, who could have imagined it?

Thinking of this, Liu Xun was even more emotional, and secretly said in his heart: "In the past, King Wei Hui and King Qi Wei compared their respective treasures, and King Wei Hui said that he had ten night pearls, which could illuminate twelve cars inside and outside. However, King Qi Wei cited four of his virtuous ministers. Tanzi guarded the southern city, and the Chu people did not dare to be a coward, and the twelve princes of Sishang all came to the court. Panzi guarded the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhao people did not dare to fish in the river. Qianfu guards Xuzhou, then the Yan people sacrifice to the north gate, the Zhao people sacrifice to the west gate, and there are more than 7,000 people who migrate. If you are the first thief, you will not leave it behind. These four ministers will shine for thousands of miles, and they will be twelve times! “

"And the Marquis of Xi'an is also like my treasure, my white star, hanging in the air, can shine thousands of miles!"

This is also where Liu Xun is helpless, the light of Xi'an Hou is too dazzling, if he is not pressed to be darker, this Han Dynasty will be the same as the second day.

And Zuo Chuan and others are the light that Ren Hong is hiding behind the curtain of the sky, which makes Liu Xun afraid that after he falls, he will immediately become the new sun.

But having said that, after Ren Hong directly presented the engraving, Liu Xun felt a little more comfortable.

It seems that Ren Hong really has no intention of hiding his selfishness, but he just showed his hand first, so that Liu Xun understood: "The minister has the ability to let the "Zuo Chuan" spread to the world and prosper among the people, but the minister still puts the power to do this in the hands of His Majesty after all!" ”

After all, they are old friends for many years, they have both cooperated and struggled, and many things do not need to be said, through details and small actions, they can understand each other's plans.

Since Ren Hong took a step back, Liu Xun also reciprocated and continued the topic: "After Shiqu Pavilion discussed the similarities and differences between the Spring and Autumn Period last night, the crown prince was only happy with "Zuo Chuan", the prince and the prince Zhongjie Zhenghou had passed away, and the prince only gave the young master of "Analects" and "The Book of Filial Piety", and I wanted to hire the Marquis of Xi'an as the crown prince's teacher, what is it? “

He hoped that the monarch and the ministers would be suitable, like Emperor Gao and the Marquis Liu, and start and finish well, so Liu Xun hoped that Ren Hong could take over this errand and return to the road he had planned.

In Liu Xun's plan, Ren Hong could be the prince's master and teach "Zuo Chuan" to Liu Quji, but this doctrine could not be established as an official school for the time being. Ren Hong also has to completely hand over the engraving printing, not to print books privately, and so on twenty or thirty years later, after a hundred years of Liu Xun, the prince succeeded to the throne as an adult, Ren Hong also passed away, and Zuo Chuan can be prosperous.

Liu Xun can even make Ren Hong sanctified after his death, so that his status is comparable to that of Zhaogong, and the Ren family can be like the Lu State of the Zhou Dynasty, and rest with the country!

But to Liu Xun's disappointment, Ren Hong refused!

didn't say anything like being a shallow learner, but an excuse that Liu Xun didn't expect.

"Your Majesty, if you can be the crown prince's teacher, the minister can't ask for it, but I'm afraid that the minister will run out of time......"

Xi'an Hou died of a serious illness and died not long after? Liu Xun was happy and sad, frowning and said:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sixteen years ago, in the third year of Yuanfeng (77 BC), when the minister was still working as a small official in Hanging Spring, he heard someone talk about the deeds of Fu Gong, so he put pen to the ground and made a bold statement."

"The eldest husband has no other ambitions, he should still follow the example of Bowang Hou and Fu Gong, pass through the absolute domain, make great contributions, and take the title of Marquis, and An can write for a long time?"

Liu Xun knew this, and Ren Hong really realized the boast he had bragged about back then.

"Today, the minister has sealed 20,000 households, by His Majesty's edict to destroy the Huns, a great Sima hussar general, this cloth is extremely good, Yu Hong is enough."

Ren Hong avoided the table and bowed, and said from the bottom of his heart: "After all, the ministers failed to pass through the Absolute Domain, and now the Great Qin State of Haixi is determined to conquer the east, annex all the countries of Haixi, and slaughter the capital and Tiaozhi as counties, and the soldiers are resting in peace." “

"The minister is afraid that he will eventually become a disaster for the Han Dynasty in the future, and he is willing to follow the matter of Bo Wanghou, and make a rest for the Han Dynasty, saying that the king of peace will unite the states west of the Green Ridge to jointly resist the Great Qin, and the foreign troubles will be in Siyi, and the cost of the military revolution in the Han Province will not be the disaster of the people."

Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The envoy is relieved in peace, and the rest of the king is allied, and the first lieutenant general is enough, and I need to go in person with the great Sima hussar general?" Don't use an elephant to crack a nut? “

Ren Hong lowered his head: "I still have to listen to the truth of Great Qin, I am afraid that ordinary envoys will not be able to carry out this important task, won't Your Majesty hear it?" Yin Zhixing also, Yi Zhi is in summer; Zhou Zhixing also, Lu Ya is in Yin. ”

Liu Xun once did not hesitate to think about the best and worst possible, and imagined Ren Hong's plan.

But he never expected that he would choose this path.

Is it to retreat as advance? But it's not quite like it, so many things in recent years also make sense: Xi'an Hou is busy running away, so he can't wait to make Zuo Chuan an official school as soon as possible.

And with Liu Xun's understanding of Ren Hong, I am afraid that this is not a simple mission, but a long time to go.

Liu Xun felt that this was ridiculous, the matter of the Great Qin State in Haixi, he originally listened to it as a foreign story, even if the people of the world believed it to be true, the emperor and the smart people in the court would not fail to feel that the Great Qin State thousands of miles away could pose a real threat to the Han Dynasty, which was just an excuse for Ren Hong to leave.

"Qing wants to leave?"

"Qing is leaving Dahan?"

Liu Xun became angry for no reason.

This is the feeling of being let down, more unpleasant than Ren Hong wanting to be a saint, for the Han system, leaning forward, his voice was low and with a hint of annoyance, Liu Xun had not shown such emotions for many years.

"Qing wants to be Tao Zhu Gong, and he and his private disciples take a boat to float in the sea? Never the other way around? “

"Then I am the king of Yue Goujian who can share the troubles and difficulties and deal with peace? Qing is afraid that I will kill the cunning rabbit and cook the lackey, and the birds will hide the bow? ”

Who is not afraid? There is a precedent for the old Liu family in this regard, Han Xin died, Xiao He was suspicious, Xiaowen dealt with Zhou Bo, Xiaojing forced Zhou Yafu to death, all of them are vivid, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can always be with Wei Huo, and Wei Qing is sensible, Huo Qu died early, and finally there was a witch Gu.

Liu Xun is nostalgic for the old, and treats the old Xu family, the Zhang family, and the prime minister Bingji very well, and even the two female prisoner families who served as nurses for him in the county prison have been found one by one, so that they can be rich and wealthy, and they are also reused for Zhang Chang, Han Dangdang, Xin Qingji and other heroes.

But only Ren Hong, he has been a hidden bow, as for whether to peel the skin and cook, the initiative is in Liu Xun's hands.

He is the perfect emperor created by Ren Hong, smart and far-sighted, controlling all opportunities, more powerful than Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, after returning from the destruction of the Huns, the placement of heroes and the attraction of the Fei Army are enough to see one or two.

But he is also a dictator who regards the world as his own self.

Liu Xun is thinking about the old love now, but what about ten years later? Ren Hong couldn't say for sure.

Ren Hong bowed again: "Your Majesty is a generation of holy monarchs, and he can be suitable with all meritorious monarchs and ministers, and start and finish well." ”

Zhao Guanghan was saved by Ren Hong and Zhao Chongguo and did not die, as for Gai Kuanrao, it is not a hero......

"The minister is not Fan Li."

Ren Hong raised his head and used a sentence to resolve Liu Xun's unprovoked anger.

"Today, just like then, tell the truth to Your Majesty."

"The minister wants to emulate the Marquis, and he wants to emulate Lao Tzu!"

"Like staying in the marquis, he retired after success, like Lao Tzu, wrote the first and second chapters of the book, said more than 5,000 words of morality, and went west by the green ox, and the world did not know what it would do! This is probably the best thing I can think of! “

……

Ren Hong had already retired, and Liu Xun was still sitting in the Xuanshu Palace, thinking about Fang Cai's words.

"Lao Tzu Zhou is gone, why are you going?"

"The Han Dynasty is extremely prosperous, Your Majesty weighs all opportunities, the thirteen states and the country are safe and secure, Li Shu has property, everything is getting better, and there is no difference between ministers and ministers."

"Your Majesty often says that the minister is a white star, and the minister is also willing to be a meteor, crossing the sky of the Han Dynasty, shining in a corner, and dispersing the Rongdi Huns."

"The minister has seen General Huo hang high like the bright moon, and he has been in Your Majesty, the sun of the Eastern Emperor, the side of the six dragons to assist him, the minister's luck is also, this life is enough!"

Liu Xun didn't agree, but he was relieved in his heart, this should be Ren Hong's real plan, not at all as sinister and dark as Wei Xiang speculated, and even a way to make both the monarch and the minister happy, but the price was Ren Hong's personal sacrifice.

Thinking of Wei Xiang's impeachment, a trace of annoyance flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, but this was a secret performance that no one knew except him, and Liu Xun also said that he had to have a beginning and an end with all the heroes, Wei Xiang did not have much credit, but he should not kill rashly.

"Remove Wei Xiang's position, let him go to Lingnan to be the Taishou of Cangwu, and accompany Zhao Guanghan in Nanhai County!"

Since the Marquis of Xi'an does not live up to him.

He will not lose the Marquis of Xi'an.

Just let Xi'an Hou drift west, too slow to treat the heroes, Liu Xun has to think about how to operate, can make this matter a good story.

"Zhou Zhixing also, Lu Ya is in Yin ......"

Liu Xun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's like a good story like Lu Shangfeng on the seashore." ”

……

But what Liu Xun didn't know was that Ren Hong's words were still the same as usual, half-truths and half-truths.

After pacing away from Weiyang Palace and getting into his own carriage, Ren Hong touched his back that was a little wet, but he smiled again.

After going west, whether it is tourism, envoy or killing all sides is not under Liu Xun's control.

In the Han Dynasty, if you don't seek usurpation, you can only be a grandson for the rest of your life, and you will be afraid and cautious every day.

But to the west of the Green Ridge.

I can be "Lao Tzu"!
