In the northwest of Weiyang Palace are the three national libraries of the Han Dynasty - Shiqu Pavilion, Tianlu Pavilion and Qilin Pavilion. Shiqu Pavilion collects the five classics of the world's books, Tianlu Pavilion receives the edict of the secretary, and the tallest Qilin Pavilion displays the portraits of the three emperors and five emperors and the ancestors and famous ministers of the past dynasties.

The stone canal pavilion is the oldest, it is built by Xiao He, the grinding stone blocks are used to build the canal, so that the canal can introduce living water around the pavilion, so as to prevent fire, the pavilion is several layers high, and the tile is engraved with "the stone canal thousand autumns". Different bibliographies are placed in different layers, and the original version of Taishi Gongshu is also here.

Ren Hong brought Zhang Chang, Geng Shouchang, Huang Ba, Liu Gengsheng and several other people who learned Zuo Chuan here, looked up at Shiqu Pavilion, and asked Liu Gengsheng, who often went in and out of this place to read: "Zizheng, how many books are there in the pavilion?" ”

"More than 100,000 volumes." Liu Gengsheng couldn't say clearly, there were still a lot in the cellar, and many of them could not be sorted out, Geng Shouchang only sighed, saying that this is the largest collection of books in the world.

"Not necessarily."

Ren Hong smiled: "I heard the Sogdian merchant say that 20,000 miles away from the western part of the sea, there is a country named Plough, also known as Egypt, and its king is called Ptolemy, and the first generation of Ptolemaic kings built a library in the city of Plough (Alexander) and wanted to collect books from all over the world. Thus, the successive Ptolemaic kings searched every ship entering the port, and whenever they found books, regardless of nationality, they were all included in the cabinet, and it has been more than 200 years since then, with hundreds of thousands of volumes. ”

After Zhang Qian arrived in Daxia and learned of his rest, the Han Dynasty had accepted the fact that there were civilized countries in the outside world and that each had its own writing, but when he heard that it was actually older than Shiqu Pavilion and had more books, he was also stunned.

Liu Gengsheng was curious about the exotic, and Geng Shouchang was interested in the books related to astronomy in the Egyptian Book Pavilion that Ren Hong said.

Ren Hong only did not tell them that in another ten years, most of the Library of Alexandria would be burned down due to Caesar's intervention in the Egyptian civil war, and half of the crystallization of human wisdom in the West would be destroyed.

Those things are too far, Ren Hong walked into the Shiqu Pavilion, but saw the spacious hall on the first floor, after more than a month of trekking, the scholars of all factions have arrived, after a political trial into the Shiqu Pavilion, now seeing Ren Hong enter, even if he is unwilling, they all get up and bow to him.

"Gentlemen are exempt."

Ren Hong only casually bowed his hand and led everyone into the hall, but he didn't notice a young and fiery gaze staring at him in a corner.

……

The interior of the hall on the first floor of Shiqu Pavilion is octagonal, similar to Zhou Yi gossip, the cadre seat is vacant and waiting for the Son of Heaven to arrive, Ren Hong and the hundred officials and ministers who are listening to it sit on the left and right sides of the exchange and Xun.

The remaining five sides are occupied by the Pentateuch Doctors and their challengers.

Due west is the kan, sitting is the doctor of "Yi", the god stick Liang Qiuhe who is good at prophecy and his disciples.

Because when Qin Shi Huang burned the book, "Yi" was regarded as a book of divination, not counted in the book of poetry, not officially banned, many versions have been preserved in the people, so the genre is complicated, Taichang Wei Xiang, who is responsible for managing the doctorate, is to learn "Yi", and the Gai Kuanrao who stabbed Lou Zi angered the Son of Heaven to quote "Han's Yi Biography".

Therefore, Liang Qiuhe's purpose today is also very clear: in order to prove that Gai Kuanrao is talking nonsense, he must denounce "Han's Yi Biography", criticize it, and criticize it!

And sitting opposite Liang Qiuhe, located in the "away" position due east, are the Shangshu factions.

Qin Shi Huang's book burning was a heavy blow to the study of "Shu", and in the end, it was revived by relying on the oral narration of Fu Sheng and the wrong record, so the study of "Shu" was not as much as that of the "Yi" school. In today's "Shangshu", there are mainly Ouyang and Xiahou, after Xiahou Sheng was wanted by Huo Guang and absconded, it is said that after running to Lelang, Xiahou Shangshu also fell, leaving only Ouyang Shangshu to sit firmly in the position of doctor.

But today, Ouyang Shangshu has ushered in a strong enemy, but it is known as the "ancient text of Shangshu" faction, filial piety, King Lu Gong bad Confucius's house, dug out a lot of classics written in the Warring States language, thought that Qin burned poetry when the Confucian family hidden, Confucius's descendant Kong Anguo to study it, now Kong Anguo is dead, his son Kong Ang with the ancient text of the book to kick the museum.

Ouyang Shangshu's doctor, Ouyang Gao, took Ouyang Diyu, Lin Zun and other disciples as if they were facing a great enemy. Is the book ancient? What is written in a big seal must be a true scripture? They must denounce the ancient scriptures as apocrypha, at this time, who cares whether the other side is a descendant of Confucius, even if Confucius is in person, in order to keep their jobs, they will pretend not to know and fight to the end.

Sitting in the northeast "earthquake" area are the students of etiquette, and Dai Sheng and his disciples participated in the Shiqu Pavilion meeting. Dai Sheng and his uncle Dai De once followed Hou Cang to learn "Rites", and the two were collectively called "Big and Small Dai" by later generations.

Today's etiquette is the most comfortable, because there is no other faction to refute the competition, Dai Sheng only intends to sing double reeds with his disciples, junior disciples and others to be able to retreat, after all, the main content of the ritual is "Xia Xiaozheng", "Moon Order", "Guanyi", "Duyi" and other ancient rites.

The northwest "Gen" area is more crowded, and there are three poems, not ...... Now it should be "Four Poems".

After Han Shi died in Cai Yi, his disciple, the lieutenant of Liu He, Wang Ji, who planted two jujube trees at home, provoked the beam, but did not serve as a doctor.

In addition, there is "Lu Shi", the representative figure is Wei Xuancheng, the son of the old prime minister Wei Xian, who is not a doctor, but comes as a doctor of Fuyang Hou and Taizhong.

At the beginning, the old prime minister and Fuyang Festival Marquis Wei Xian died, and the eldest son Wei Hong happened to be guilty in prison. The family was worried that Wei Hong would be deposed if he was guilty, which meant losing a long-term meal ticket, so they forged Wei Xian's will and made his second son Wei Xuan the heir. Wei Xuancheng knew that it wasn't his father's meaning, so he pretended to be crazy, pretending to be quite like: lying in the feces and urine, talking nonsense, laughing and making trouble. Of course, in the end, the flaws were still seen, but in the end, the court was high-minded, not only allowing Wei Xuancheng to inherit the title, but also being promoted.

After all, this is very in line with the political correctness of the Han Dynasty's filial piety to govern the country, so he is very respectful of the matter of promoting the heir.

There is also a "Qi Poem" that is also listed as a doctor, but it is led by Sizhi Xiao Wangzhi, he is an all-rounder, governing "Qi Poems", "Li", "Lu Analects", and recently learned Liang Chunqiu, and Wei Xiang, Liang Qiu He Xi "Yi", for a time actually through the Five Classics, known as the "Five Classics of Confucianism".

Xiao Wangzhi was not as ruthless as Wei Xiang, and he was unwilling to step on the corpses of his former colleagues to ascend, so he discussed with Wang Ji and Liang Qiuhe before coming:

"At today's meeting in Shiqu Pavilion, the Lu and Qi factions should try their best to help Han Shi get out of danger, showing that although Han Shi and Han Yi are from the same person, they are completely different."

By the way, we also have to work together to snipe the challenger, the Mao poetry school from the Hejian Kingdom.

Mao poems are passed on by Mao Heng and Mao Chang, and they are taught in ancient languages, which were initially limited to the country of Hejian and passed to the hands of Fu Guan Changqing of Hejian, but in the past ten years, they began to use ancient languages, and they were spread on paper, which gradually became popular, but they were still in the opposition. Today's visit is Xie Yannian, the leader of Mao Shi, who was carried by Ren Hong, his younger brother who worships the same teacher, but because it is the first time to come to Shiqu Pavilion, he is a little nervous.

Xiao Wangzhi had to fight two games in two days, one in poetry and two in the spring and autumn. The good news is that in the debate of poetry, he also has a little helper, a little junior brother from Donghai County, who is also taught by the Great Confucian Houcang......

"Kuang Heng, what are you looking at?"

The young man who had just reached the crown, and the hairless young man on his mouth immediately came back to his senses, and said to Xiao Wangzhi, who was old enough to be his father: "Si Zhi, I am just thinking about righteousness. ”

Xiao Wangzhi bowed his head, didn't think much about it, and said to Kuang Heng: "Master said, although you only started apprenticeship a few years ago, your understanding of "Poetry" is very unique and thorough. Kuang said "Poetry", understand people's feelings, today let Your Majesty and this hall full of famous Confucians, see your ability! Maybe you can enter the public with the Ming Jing! ”

Kuang Heng hurriedly agreed, but in a place where Xiao Wangzhi couldn't notice, his eyes once again glanced at Ren Hong, the big Sima hussar general who was sitting in the distance and was talking and laughing with the hundred officials, his eyes were full of heat.

It was as if he saw the glimmer of light that came in when he was young and poor, and he chiseled through the wall of his neighbor, and secretly said in his heart:

"Zou Lu has a proverb: The widow is full of gold, it is better to have a warp. But Xiao Wangzhi is known as a famous Confucian in the Five Classics, and he is still just a little straight, but if he can follow the Marquis of Xi'an, why worry about being rich and noble? ”

……

Sitting in the "Kun" position in the north, facing the position of the Son of Heaven, is the protagonist of this Shiqu Pavilion meeting, the Spring and Autumn Three Transmissions.

"Ram" and "Liang Liang" are the same ancestor, "Spring and Autumn" by Confucius's disciple Zi Xia inheritance, Zi Xia's two disciples Ram Gao and Liang Chi respectively "Ram Biography", "Liang Biography" passed on to later generations.

They did not have much dispute during the Warring States Qin Dynasty, and they also fired at Huang Lao together, but after the success of the Confucian Revolution, they immediately turned against each other, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the debate between Jiang Gong, who represented the "Gu Liang" study, and Dong Zhongshu, who represented the "Ram" study, was the first struggle, and the ram won.

As a post-graduate of Dong Zhongshu, although after experiencing the Muhong case, the ram lost talents, but after all, it is an official school, and the card is still there. Five people can also come up to participate in the debate: Yan Pengzu, Shen Ji, Yi Tui, Song Xian, and Xu Guang, all of whom are well-educated.

Although there are many people, none of them can handle the great Confucian, and the five of them are a little apprehensive, they know that the ram will suffer a storm of criticism today.

And he didn't give up after the failure of Liang that year, and Jiang Gong secretly taught the doctrine to Prince Wei Liu Ju, because the content of Leung's relatives and respect was more in line with Liu Ju's needs, and as a result, as soon as Wu Gu came, all the people of Juliang who gathered around Prince Wei were also finished together.

Inherited to this day, there are two disciples of Qiu Jiang Gong in "Zhu Liang": Rong Guang and Hao Xing Gong. Haoxinggong's son was the former Jincheng Taishou, and Haoxingci who was peaceful with Ren Hong, but he didn't want to get involved in this matter and told Wei Cen to come to the sick.

Today's visit is the disciple of another disciple, Rong Guang. Headed by Cai Qianqiu, who was invited by Liu Xun to enter the palace to open a small stove, in addition to Zhou Qing, surnamed Ding, Yin Gengshi, Wang Hai, plus Xiao Wangzhi, a total of six people. They are different from the disastrous defeat of the Tang Dynasty half a century ago, today Liang has entered the court by virtue of the name of Prince Wei's favorite learning, the imperial prince Shi Gao supports them, and most of Lu Xue's companions are officials, and they are even favored by the Son of Heaven, only one doctor is missing.

The two sides are tense, but there are still some places left in the Kun position, and they want to sit down for the debaters of the "Zuo Chuan" faction.

As a result, after Ren Hong smiled and waved his hand, there was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old thin dwarf who walked slowly.

Liu Gengsheng came to the front of Liang and the ram, bowed politely to them, and then took the throne in a grand manner. He was short in stature, and he only wore a scarf, and in the middle of the towering Confucian crown, he really looked like a flock of chickens and cranes.

Liang and the ram looked at each other, what does this mean, Zuo Chuan's family sent a yellow-haired son? That's too much to look down on them!

The hundred officials and ministers sitting in the positions of Dui and Xun also think so, Xi'an Hou only let him have a small disciple Liu Gengsheng, it is indeed too big, at least Zhang Chang, Geng Shouchang, and Huang Ba have to let these people go, right?

Taichang Wei Xiang on the opposite side also smiled: "Does Xi'an Hou want Liu Zizheng to practice his eloquence?" ”

They really haven't seen Liu Gengsheng's skills.

Ren Hong looked relaxed, and said to Liu Gengsheng's father, Zongzheng Liu De:

"It's enough for children to break the enemy."

Ren Hong has enough confidence in his closed disciples, or rather, he understands that what can really determine the victory or defeat of today's meeting is not the debate itself, or even the new doctrine content that Ren Hong has added to Zuo Chuan in the past five years.

Not to mention the trivial and thaumaturgical skills, these things can only add to the cake, but they cannot reverse the overall situation.

So, what exactly does victory or defeat depend on?

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the shouting of the confessor, from Ren Hong to the group of Confucians wearing towering Confucian crowns, they all stood up and made a move, and the Son of Heaven came.

Liu Xun is next to the nine-year-old crown prince Liu Quji, and at today's meeting, Liu Xun plans to let his son also come to listen, because he himself knows that this debate will determine what kind of concept the Han should govern the country when it comes to his son's generation.

Liu Xun asked Zhongqing and Confucianism to calm down, but his eyes met Ren Hong, and they looked at each other and smiled, as before.

But both of them knew in their hearts that today, they no longer have the complete trust between friends, nor the tacit understanding when they dealt with Huo Guang and the Xiongnu together. Instead, there are faint rifts and doubts under the appearance of the monarch and the minister.

This was the only thing that could determine the outcome of the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.

"It depends on his pattern and his boldness."

"It also depends on my choice!"

This is Ren Hong's consciousness, the abolition of prosperity is due to likes and dislikes, and the rise and fall are followed by arguments? In fact, the so-called politics is the exchange of interests, which is more reliable than all friendships and old friends.

Ren Hong sat in Xun, and Liu Xun sat in the cadre seat with the prince, and smiled at the people in Shiqu Pavilion: "From today on, for two consecutive days, I will come to Shiqu Pavilion in person, and listen to the discussion of the similarities and differences of the Five Classics. ”
