The dream of sealing Yue has come true

Forbidden Taoism has twists and turns

In March of the second year of Qingyuan, that is, more than a month after Zhao Ruyu's death, Han Yanxuan finally got his wish and was named the envoy of the Baoning Military Festival, known as the Tai Lieutenant.

Although the festival envoy of this dynasty still carries the name of a certain town, it is very different from the previous dynasties, it does not need to go to the local office, has no military power, political power, and no power to do things, is the highest title of military attaché, the salary is higher than the prime minister, often become a relative of the clan, important ministers, dismissed prime minister and even favored internal servants of the honorary position.

Today's Han Yanxuan not only got the title of Jiedu envoy, but also held supreme power in his hands. Although he is not a ruler, he is indispensable in the political affairs hall, and he is full of words. Originally, he could have been the prime minister, but he gave up because he didn't want to give people the excuse that his relatives were interfering in politics.

Just imagine, if Han Yanxuan, who got what he wanted, recognized himself in time, accepted it when he saw it, did his duty, and enjoyed the glory and wealth freely, he would not have so much infamy, and he would not end up with the tragic ending of being dead without a corpse. Therefore, it is good for people to be content, to be self-motivated, and to be aggressive, but it is not advisable to blindly climb up without measuring their own strength.

Liu Lan was promoted to the prefect of Jiankang, and before leaving, he visited Han Taiwei with his wife Ma. Ma's sister Ma Yufang has entered the Han Mansion, named a maidservant, but in fact she is a concubine, and Han Taiwei is very favored.

Seeing that Governor Liu seemed to have something to say, Mrs. Han signaled, but it didn't hurt.

Please note one point, that is, it is only for a few people and a small number of people, and it is not appropriate to bring down a large area, after all, our dynasty is ruled by literati, and the enemy is too great, which is not conducive to it.

Han Yanxuan didn't understand much, and knew that this Liu Guangyu was thinking about him, so he nodded in agreement. Although agreeing with Liu's views, the criticism of Daoism has not stopped, and larger and more thorough plans are brewing.

Resistance comes from the harem.

On that day, the emperor Zhao Kuo led the concubines and others to go to Cifu Palace to greet the grandmother.

The well-informed Empress Dowager reminded her great-grandson: The official family, the courtiers talk about things, and there is no need to mobilize the people to engage in any party ban, which makes the government and the people panic.

Zhao Kuo didn't understand what Grandma said, and didn't know how to answer.

The Empress Dowager said more clearly, criticizing and impeaching anyone, you don't have to point the finger at Taoism, let alone ban Taoism, that will offend the world's scholars.

Zhao Kuanyue understood a little, and his grandson obeyed his grandmother's decree.

After returning to the harem, the emperor immediately issued an edict: After this is the post, give the middle and middle books to the scholars, do not discuss any forbidden Taoism and other past events, but talk about peace and justice, so as to reflect the meaning of justice.

This edict undoubtedly poured cold water on those officials who were eager to try, but no one dared to openly oppose it.

Coincidentally, Zhu Xi's resignation has arrived. In the excerpt, he did not talk about any knowledge, nor did he defend himself or Zhao Ruyu and others. just said that he was old and busy with teaching and research work, and asked the emperor to approve the Zhishi, or remove the titles of Huanzhang Pavilion and Gongguan.

The counselor Hu Yingyuan saw the problem from Zhu Xi's performance. This Huanzhang Pavilion is just a fictitious position, indicating that the official recognition of its literary level has reached a level, and it has no practical effect, and there is no need to go to Huanzhang Pavilion to work, but only to increase some subsidies when giving Yulu. Zhu Xi is not in business, does not do business, and does not have any strong family assets, even if he writes a few books, he does not have any manuscript fees, that is, he lectures to apprentices and receives a little remuneration, so that he does not even want the salary issued by the imperial court. The real purpose of his writing was not to resign.

On closer examination, his recital has two meanings: first, he indirectly expresses dissatisfaction with the court's treatment of him and his criticism of Taoism, in other words, he opposes criticism of the Taoism he has always tried to defend and advocate; Second, he, Zhu Xi, is now living freely and freely, and he doesn't want the money given to him by the imperial court, he still lives a free and prosperous life through lectures. All this shows that the imperial court's criticism of Taoism was not strong enough, and it did not touch its sore spots.

The relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast. Vice versa. Although so many years have passed, Hu Yingyuan can hardly forget the humiliation he suffered back then.

Hu is filial piety in the second year of the throne in the jinshi, in the state and county, a few years later, because of the recommendation of Yutang and into the court, in the period of keeping the system for his mother, is also idle and boring, went to Jianyang to visit Zhu Xi, one is Zhu Xi's fame, and the Ministry of Shangshu Zhao Ruyu friends, want to get his favor, of course can be recommended to Zhao Shangshu, it is better. Second, I also want to see Zhu Xi's knowledge, if Zhu Xi appreciates it, it is not impossible to worship him as a teacher.

In order to leave a good impression on Zhu Xi, he also did some efforts, such as carefully studying the "University Chapters" and bringing Zhu Xi the best local shiitake mushrooms and citrus. From his home Qingyuan Songyuan to Jianyang Kaoting, there are more than 300 miles of road, although there is no need to walk, but it is also very hard.

I don't want to, after seeing Zhu Xi, I was disappointed. Although he wore civilian clothes, he was very different from those white-clothed scholars, and after offering souvenirs, he did not look at him differently. Hu Yingyuan wanted to talk to him alone several times, but Zhu Xi could always find a reason to prevaricate. also let him eat chestnut rice with those white-clothed students, live in a collective dormitory, and smell other people's stinky feet.

Hu regretted this trip to Jianyang, in terms of age, Zhu Xi was not a few years older than him, in terms of rank, he Hu Yingyuan guarded the system, he served as the head of Sinong Temple, from the seventh grade, and Zhu Xi, before, the highest official position, but also from the sixth grade, but there is a difference between the Beijing official and the local official. The dignified seven products came to visit you, to give you face and lift you up, but unexpectedly, you regarded him as an ordinary young student, and he didn't even have a polite word.

On the third day, Hu Yingyuan left angrily. When he arrived at the post station, he asked the post man to send him back to Songyuan in a small boat. The postman told him that this small boat had already been booked, and he wanted to send Lord Ye Zhengze back to Jinhua. When asked, Ye would only arrive tomorrow, and the ship had been booked by Zhu Xi two days ago. If he wanted to take the boat, he would have to wait another five days. It was Zhu Xi again, Hu Yingyuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and had to ride the fast horse of the post station and gallop all the way.

Hu Zhengyan went to the capital hall to meet with Han Taiwei and explained his views on Zhu Xi's twists and turns, and Han Yanxuan quite agreed:

It makes sense, and I'm wondering why this old guy suddenly got on such a fold, it turned out to be a demonstration against us, and we also have to take action to give him some color.

Yes, it must not be taken lightly. However, Tai Wei, you see, with the emperor's edict, things are not easy to do.
