Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 32 The Temptation of Jingxian Pavilion
Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Adou was stunned for a moment. Zhuge Liang is worthy of being a representative of wisdom, and the leapfrogging of thinking is really big enough.
Since ancient times, the literati and the warriors have always been two different classes, and sometimes, the two classes are often opposed. Different from the selection of literati, the selection of military generals pays more attention to martial arts, especially before the Tang Dynasty, military generals were very popular in heads-up, and at this time the martial arts of military generals were very important.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a general's martial arts are much more important than his family background, and if his martial arts are strong, he can suppress his soldiers, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu, a person from a civilian background, has become the number one general in the world, and no one will say irresponsible things; And 6 Xun is a scholar leading the army, even if his family background is prominent, he is still criticized by the Jiangdong generals.
There is no first, there is no second, who is strong in martial arts, you can know with one punch and one kick. In the army, there has always been a rule of selecting generals by force. Therefore, the selection of generals according to the scientific examination is much less resistant than the selection of civil servants by the imperial examination.
Adou pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly, the matter of reform needs to be done step by step, and it is impossible to eat a big fat man in one bite. What's more, Adou is still less than twenty years old, and he is very young, and he has a lot of time to implement his ideas.
"Your Majesty, today's words, I still hope that Your Majesty one. It must be kept secret, if it is spread out, especially after it is known by the world's families, it will cause great disaster! Zhuge Liang cautiously reminded.
"Thank you Prime Minister for reminding me, I remember."
……
Jiuquan County.
Today's Cherrigi doesn't have the same spirit as before.
Liangzhou is poor and lacks materials. Shangyongzhou, so the Qiang people haven't grabbed much this year, at most it can be regarded as a break-even.
If only that were it, but. In the end, the Di army rebelled, causing the Qiang army to retreat, and the loss of men and horses was innumerable, if you count this loss, the loss of the Qiang people will be great.
However, Cherrigi also knew that the Han army was also unable to march westward. Xianbei Huns. The slave army has greatly damaged the vitality of the entire Yongzhou, and the Central Plains is in continuous civil war, presumably the little emperor of the Han Dynasty after the victory has the kung fu to pursue himself.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Cherrigi's face again. What do you get by defeating, after more than ten years, when the Qiang people recover their vitality, they can still set foot in the Central Plains!
Suddenly, Cherrigi remembered something, when Cao Pi's envoy. In order to say that the Qiang people sent troops, they made a big promise, such as salt and iron, and when they returned to the clan, they must send someone to Cao Pi to bring everything back.
"The king, the big one ahead. Road, all the way to the west, more than 300 miles, is Dunhuang County. The attendant next to him spoke.
"Okay, let's speed it up! This Jiuquan County is still too close to the place of the Han people, and when they enter the territory of Dunhuang, those Han people are not afraid. As he spoke, Cherrigi struck the horses hard, and the Qiang soldiers around him roared and rushed towards the first.
"Uh......h Woo......"
The muffled sound of a horn suddenly sounded from the distant horizon, and Cherrigi involuntarily reined in his horse and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Listen, my lord, this is the sound of a trumpet!"
"King, this horn sounds so familiar."
Cherrigi's brows also slowly furrowed, this horn sound sounded like the sound of a horn made by the Qiang people, and listening to the rhythm of the horn, this is the rhythm that only blows when facing the enemy.
"What's going on?" Cherrigi was slightly stunned, and then immediately said to the people behind him: "It may be your own people, put out the king's royal flag!" ”
Cherrigi's royal banner was hoisted high, and at this moment, in the direction from which the distant voice came, a group of cavalry also appeared, floating on the edge of the entire horizon, with no edge in sight.
"King, it's too far away to see where the soldiers and horses are. But the horn just now should be our Qiang people! ”
"The king, it seems that you have come to greet you!" A Qiang soldier next to him said with a smile on his face.
Cherrigi nodded slightly, but he wondered why so many Qiang soldiers appeared near Jiuquan.
"Cherrigi, you know me!" A loud shout came from the crowd in front of them.
"This sound is familiar...... "Cherrigi muttered.
"Cherrigie, have you forgotten me so soon?" Again, the drink came.
"Yao Chong, it's Yao Chong!" Cherrigi suddenly realized that this voice was Yao Chong's voice!
"Yao Chong, why are you here, it's not already ......"
"Do you think I'm dead? I'm not dead, are you disappointed...... Cherrigi, today is your death, our new and old grudges, let's count them together today! Yao Chong said, waving his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward at the same time.
……
In the autumn of the first year of Han Jianxing, Che Liji was defeated and fled from Liangzhou, and was intercepted by Yao Chong, a Qiang man. The guards around Cherrigi desperately protected, but still couldn't stop Yao Chong, and finally Cherrigi was thrown by Yao Chong with a shot, right in the chest, and the guards desperately resisted Yao Chong to protect Cherrigi from the encirclement.
A day later, Cherrigi died of his injuries. And the Qiang people of Liangzhou also fell into a situation where there were no dragons.
……
Chang'an City.
When Adou returned to Chang'an City, Pang led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.
Thirty miles is equivalent to half a day's journey for ordinary people, and although these officials have horses and carts, thirty miles is still a short distance. This kind of treatment can definitely be called grand.
But these civil and military officials did not have the slightest complaint, the achievements of the Ping Wuhu army were comparable to those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so let alone only thirty miles, even Adou called all the ministers to Tianshui, and others had nothing to say.
According to the old practice, when there is a happy event in the court, such as the birthday of the emperor and the queen mother, the change of the yuan, or such a big victory, the whole country must celebrate and amnesty the world. At the same time, as the emperor, he naturally has to reward his subordinate officials, even if he has not made a trace of merit, according to the old practice, he must be commended, rewarded with some gold and silver, and those who have merit are naturally rewarded for meritorious deeds. After that, there is a big banquet for the ministers, and the ministers of this big banquet will not be invited only once, so many important people in Chang'an City can't sit down once, so the invited people will be divided into several batches according to their identities and feasted separately. And all of this is naturally arranged properly by the officials of the official department and etiquette, and Adou only needs to do it step by step according to the procedure.
When the puppets feel naturally uncomfortable, especially when the ministers are feasting, those courtiers naturally earn to toast with their emperor one by one, even if the alcohol content in the Three Kingdoms era is not high, they can't bear this kind of wheel war.
Often when these eunuchs see that the emperor is already a little drunk, they will only pour half a cup when pouring wine, if they wait until the emperor is a little confused, they will mix the wine with water, and sometimes they will simply change it to water to avoid the emperor drinking too much and hurting his body.
The last time was when Adou ascended the throne, the banquet was to catch Zhu Ling to take the bait, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink, so he didn't drink much at all, and he didn't know the mystery of this wine. So when drinking, Adou had to use his internal strength to support himself and keep himself awake and not get drunk.
Speaking of which, Adou didn't stay in Chang'an City for a long time, far inferior to Pang Tong, after all, Pang Tong entered Chang'an City with Liu Bei. As the ancient capital of Chang'an City, there are naturally many well-known figures in the city, such as some famous ministers, or some Confucian scholars, who are not known to Adou. So Pang Tong simply took the opportunity to feast the ministers and invited these people one by one. The first is to give these people a face, and the second is to introduce Adou to some of the more important people.
Finally, after nearly half a month of tossing, this wind of celebration gradually subsided, and Adou also had a chance to calm down and start thinking about how to reform the official system.
Now Cao Wei implements the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and this official is divided into nine grades, which has the prototype of later generations. The nine-product Zhongzheng system lasted until the Sui Dynasty, and later the imperial examination system appeared, and Emperor Wen of Sui created three provinces and six ministries to limit and divide the power of the prime minister; Ming Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and Zhongshu Province because of Hu Weiyong's case, and when it came to the Ming Chengzu matter, there was the position of cabinet and Xi cabinet scholar, referred to as the auxiliary, nominally the prime minister but the power was not as good as the prime minister.
But these official systems are not familiar to Adou, and what Adou is really familiar with is the control of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the military aircraft department that has been used by the Qing Dynasty for more than 100 years.
The division of the nine products is not said, it is clear and clear, this point Adou is ready to learn from, the six ministries will clarify the division of labor in government affairs, greatly improve the work efficiency, and it is also worth using, as for weakening the power of the prime minister, Adou has no plan for the time being. Now Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's loyalty to Shu Han Adou is known, as long as Zhuge Liang is in one day, Adou does not have to worry about the Prime Minister's excessive power. What's more, Zhuge Liang is not generally proficient in political affairs, and with him, he will save Adou a lot of trouble.
What's more important is that if you are three points today, it is the time to employ people, and it is far from the time to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so at this time, Adou is not in a hurry to gather power.
The eunuch walked over in a hurry and said softly, "Your Majesty, Captain Liu Yan asks to see you." ”
"Xuan!" Adou raised his head, and recalled this Liu Yan's information in his mind.
Speaking of which, this Liu Yan is an old courtier under Liu Bei. During the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei once occupied Runan, and Liu Yan was engaged in it under Liu Bei at that time. Later, Liu Bei won Yizhou, so he named Liu Yan as the Taishou of Guling. This time Yongzhou needed manpower, so Liu Yan was transferred to Yongzhou with Zhang Song, and was named Weiwei, and at the same time added the title of Marquis of Wuxiang.
For so many years, Liu Yan has been a local official, and he has no intersection with Adou, and Adou only knows that there is such a person, and he has never seen a real person. But I heard that this Liu Yan is very literate, good at talking, and quite an elder. More importantly, Liu Yan's teacher is Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture! Therefore, Liu Yan's attainments in scripture are also very profound, and ordinary Confucians can't compare to Liu Yan.
During the Three Kingdoms period, he paid attention to his background, and with the disciple of Zheng Xuan, Liu Yan's identity was three points higher, especially in a place like Chang'an, where families gathered, he paid more attention to the family, so after Liu Yan arrived in Chang'an, his status also rose.
Adou thought about this, Liu Yan on the other side had already come in, and when he saw Adou, he immediately made a big salute very well.
"Liu Aiqing, don't be polite...... Well, this Liu Aiqing is here, but what's the matter? As Adou spoke, he carefully looked at Liu Yan in front of him.
Today, Liu Yan is wearing an official uniform, and he is meticulously organized, looking at his face, his beard is also very neatly combed, with a stubbornness between his eyebrows, a typical literati appearance, looking at it from a distance, Adou can feel that Liu Yan is the kind of person who does things with a clear look.
"Your Majesty, the minister had traveled to Chang'an to study, and also met a lot of Confucian scholars in Chang'an.
Adou was stunned, what is this Liu Yan talking about, is it just to show off him Liu Yan has a wide range of contacts in Chang'an City? Then Adou thought about it, and people said that Liu Yan was quite an elder, and he shouldn't come to show off such a thing.
I only heard Liu Yan continue: "When the minister and his friends get together, they can't help but talk about the world, and many of the minister's friends, between words, have a slight complaint about the need to move people into Yongzhou......
Liu Yan secretly glanced at Adou's expression when he said this, but Adou didn't show any special expression, which made Liu Yan a little confused. The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, in front of Adou, Liu Yan didn't dare to say too much.
"A slight complaint? I think it's a lot of complaints! Adou thought to himself, although Adou had no expression on his face at this time, he understood in his heart that Liu Yan was deliberately picking up nice words.
Liu Yan saw that Adou didn't show any performance, so he had to have the courage to continue: "Your Majesty, most of the minister's friends are Confucian scholars, and they feel that Di people are Hu people after all, and if they enter my Yongzhou, I am afraid that they will lead wolves into the room." ”
"Heh......" Adou laughed instead, when Adou decided to move the Di people to Yongzhou, he expected that there would be opposition, but he didn't expect that as soon as there were some signs of this, Liu Yan hurriedly ran to tell himself.
After a long time, Adou opened his mouth and asked, "Liu Aiqing, you are proficient in scriptures, what do you think?" ”
"The minister thinks that this matter is a double-edged soldier, and the Di people are Hu people, but if they are willing to sincerely submit to my Han culture, they have nothing to worry about; If you don't obey my Han teachings, it will become a big disaster. ”
"Indoctrination?" Adou's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly remembered what Zhuge Liang said before, "governing Di with Di", selecting officials from the Di people, governing Di people, and then supplemented by Han officials, from the side of education, it seems that at that time, Zhuge Liang had already thought of the importance of this education.
"Liu Aiqing, Confucius once said, there is no class in teaching, and your friends are also great Confucian scholars who have read poetry and books, are you willing to educate those uncivilized Di people, and let those Di people bathe in the majesty of my Heavenly Empire?" Adou asked suddenly.
"Well, this, the minister doesn't know ......"
"Oh......" Adou nodded. At this time, an idea suddenly flashed through Adou's mind.
According to Adou's understanding of these literati, the best thing about this literati is reputation. This can be put to good use.
"Liu Aiqing, you're right, those Di people need to be educated, so let's do it, I'll give you an errand, you are more familiar with the great Confucian students in Chang'an City, why don't you find some people to educate those Di people who moved into my Yongzhou?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is ......"
"Liu Aiqing, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. I am going to build a pavilion outside this Weiyang Palace, called Jingxian Pavilion, all those who have made meritorious contributions to the education of the people can be named Jingxian Pavilion scholars, and the portrait is placed in the pavilion to show their merits, and at the same time for future generations to flaunt and learn ......"
"Ah......" At this time, Liu Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
The best thing for this literati is his reputation, and what he hopes most is that his name can be remembered for generations. The best way to leave a reputation is naturally to publish a book, and the second is to recruit disciples, but these two points must be done by people with academic knowledge, since Emperor Huan, so many Confucian scholars have produced a Ma Rong and a Zheng Xuan, and the others are not as big as the level of Fang Baishi.
At the same time, Liu Yan, who is a literati, also knows that as long as he can be named a scholar of Jingxian Pavilion and hang his portrait in that Jingxian Pavilion, it will definitely be a matter of eternity, which is too tempting for a literati! And this is far easier to educate the people than to make some great scriptures!
"Huh......" Liu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Ministers should do their best!" ”
……
Liu Yan lowered his head and walked towards the palace gate.
At this time, Liu Yan still felt that everything just now was like a dream. Originally, Liu Yan was going to advise the emperor and move people to Yongzhou, which should be considered in detail, but he didn't expect that His Majesty the emperor would casually come up with a Jingxian Pavilion, and now even Liu Yan himself wants to hang his portrait on the Jingxian Pavilion and pass on it to future generations.
All this came too suddenly, which caught Liu Yan off guard, Liu Yan didn't even know how to tell his friends about it, Liu Yan was a little scared, after those Confucian scholars knew about it, would they have any drastic performance.
This temptation is too great!
"Oops!"
A cry came from in front of Liu Yan, Liu Yan only felt that he had hit something, and when he looked up, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little eunuch sitting on the ground in front of him, with long eyebrows and clear eyes.
"The adults forgive the sins, the little one didn't look at the road and collided with the adult!" As soon as the little eunuch saw that the person in front of him was wearing an official mansion, he immediately bowed down.
Liu Yan's old face flushed, just now he was thinking too much about things and concentrating, he lowered his head and didn't see the road, and he also had his own responsibility for hitting someone.
"Well, the official is fine, pay attention next time!" Liu Yan coughed dryly, bypassed the little eunuch and continued to walk forward.
"Huang Hao, what are you doing, come here! Lord Huangmen called us! A shrill voice came from afar.
The little eunuch got up and agreed, "Here, I'm coming!" ”
