Chapter Seventy-Four: The Three Immortals of the Great Han Dynasty

"The Son of Heaven Starts Driving~~~"

After the literary test, holding a golden horsewhip, Liu Bei shouted, and pulled the dragon chariot back to the Imperial Palace.

Fengche Duwei, rank ratio of 2,000 stones, in charge of the royal car, often to the royal relatives for it.

Although this position is famous and majestic, and he is still a big official of 2,000 stones, his work really makes Liu Bei cry.

Usually it's fine, Liu Bei handed over the dragon chariot of the Son of Heaven to the servants and officials to manage it;

But once the Son of Heaven goes out, he needs to be the groom of the Son of Heaven and drive for the Son of Heaven, and the horsewhip in his hand never dares to be drawn, just used for show.

If he really smoked the six horses of the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei estimated that it might directly cause the horse to frighten, and then scare the Son of Heaven, then he would have to accept the punishment next・・・・・・

Pinning the horsewhip in his hand to his waist, Liu Bei sighed and honestly drove for the Son of Heaven.

What he is looking forward to now is that one day, the Son of Heaven will be able to fight with the Son of Heaven, and after making military achievements, he can be released as an official, just like his second brother; Or hope that one day, Your Majesty will have a better candidate for the commander of Fengche and transfer him out.

"Huh~~~"

Liu Bei carefully calmed down the six dragon horses and told them to stop, because the road ahead was blocked.

Yesterday's heavy rain, landslides, and some falling stones and mud blocked the road, and Xu Chu was ordering people to clear the road.

Pulling open the curtain, Liu Xie looked at the pro-soldiers who were busy up and down, didn't say much, put the curtain down, and quietly thought in the dragon chariot.

He doesn't know what the specific results will be for this literary test.

But one thing is certain, after the literary examination, the generals who were abused out of Xiang will definitely have a wave of reading and learning words in the army.

As for the tide of arithmetic, whether it can be blown up in the army, Liu Xie does not know.

But among the dozens of doctors and hundreds of students in this group of grading. will definitely set off a frenzy, and the source is the third question from Liu Xie.

This third question was intercepted by Liu Xie from "Sun Tzu's Sutra".

And "Sun Tzu's Sutra" was not written by Sun Wu. The book was completed in the fourth and fifth centuries, that is, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Wuhu Rebellion.

And Liu Xie is very familiar with this problem and solution, because he has pondered it before and programmed it in C・・・・・・

Sweat!

Engineering male. Sometimes it's just that boring・・・・・・

Liu Xie pulled his mind out of the third question and returned to Zhao Qi, the chief officer of the marking paper.

This person, although he is old, but full of energy, when Liu Xie summoned him the day before yesterday, he was quite old and strong in his whole body, and he was able to eat three strong, which was vividly expressed by him.

In Liu Xie's opinion, this old man is physically and mentally healthy. At least he could live for more than ten years, so he boldly hired him.

And this is still the first step, and the next step is to release him as an official, at least it will be a state assassin.

The reason why Liu Xie did this was also after many considerations.

First, this bull man is upright and strong, and his reputation in the Han Dynasty is very high, he is one of the few people who survived the disaster of the party, and his reputation is far higher than that of Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi.

As for how high his fame is, those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know it. In the original time and space, after the Battle of Dong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zan were fighting for Jizhou.

And Zhao Qi came, and was ordered to send an envoy to Kanto. The three sides directly ceased fighting, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops to meet him hundreds of miles away. After Zhao Qi persuaded the two to withdraw from the army, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan and told him about the stakes.

With a direct appearance, he can mediate the three major warlords, such a famous bull. was reactivated by Liu Xie, just to win a name for loving talents.

Second, because this bull man is strong and upright, and he is both civil and military, so Liu Xie is ready to transfer a young general with famous generals to his side, on the one hand, to let these young generals assist Zhao Qi to pacify Dingzhou County and make contributions to the Han Dynasty; On the other hand, he wanted Zhao Qi to discipline them on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

The so-called red one who is close to Zhu and black one who is close to ink, Liu Xie hopes that Zhao Qi can train a martial artist who can be literate and martial, but is upright and upright, including Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and others.

Third, Liu Xie has the meaning of compensating for the fulfillment, and Zhao Qi has been displaced all his life and has had many tribulations.

He offended the eunuchs and ruined his family, and once quelled the rebellions of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and the Southern Xiongnu, but because of the disaster of the party, there was nothing.

Therefore, Liu Xie wanted to release him as a state assassin, let him establish his merits, and then crown him as a marquis, which can be regarded as compensation for his lack of talent.

Fourth, Liu Xie also has an ambition, that is, he wants to produce a "three immortal" characters from him.

The so-called three immortals are "virtue", "meritorious service" and "speech".

Virtue means to create a vertical law, and to help the public, that is, moral integrity, to crown the ancient and modern;

Meritorious service is to save the misfortune and eliminate difficulties, and to make meritorious service is to make meritorious deeds, and to pay homage to the Hou;

To establish words is to be able to say what is important and reasonable, that is, to put the true insight into words and words, write books and speak, and pass them on to future generations.

In the 5,000-year history of China, there are two and a half people, these two people refer to Confucius and Wang Yangming, and the other half refers to Zeng Guofan.

Liu Xie is naturally not stupid enough to think that he can become a figure of the three immortals.

At least in terms of morality, he has already broken his temperance; As for meritorious service and speech, Liu Xie can still fight for it.

Of course, if Liu Xie can't do it, it doesn't mean that his people can't do it!

For now, in terms of morality, Zhao Qikan said that it was perfect;

In terms of words, there is the "Mencius Commentary" in the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", and Zhao Qi has already completed half of it;

Next, Liu Xie will improve Confucianism, and this Zhao Qi is one of the founders, as long as he can introduce Confucianism into a new palace, then he will complete the matter of making words.

And in terms of meritorious service.

When Zhao Qi was appointed as the assassin of the state, he wrote the theory of the imperial court, and Chen used the foundation of the army, and he had the luck to sit on the curtain, and secretly matched the way of Sun and Wu.

It can be seen that he is a very knowledgeable person, but because of the disaster of the party, he was implicated and has no place to use.

If he can make military achievements and become a marquis in the future, then he can really be one of the three immortal figures in the world, and his name will be passed down through the ages!

Of course, Zhao Qi was only the second choice for the three immortal candidates of the Great Han Dynasty.

In Liu Xie's heart, the first candidate is the current Taifu Lu Zhi.

In terms of morality, although Lu Zhi did not have the same calamities and hardships as Zhao Qi, he still set a moral example for the Han Dynasty.

When Dong Zhuo intended to depose the emperor's brother Liu Wei and support Liu Xie as the emperor, no one dared to speak out at that time, and only Lu Zhi came out alone to oppose it; And before he died, he just asked his son to dig a hole in the earth and bury him thinly, without a coffin, only a close-fitting single coat.

So Lide, Lu Zhi is enough;

And for meritorious service, he is still enough;

When he was in Yangzhou, he put down the barbarian rebellion twice; During the Yellow Turban Uprising, he broke Zhang Jiao and surrounded Guangzong, although he was later imprisoned because he was unwilling to pay bribes, but the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou certainly belonged to him.

After Lu Zhi was recruited as a prince, Liu Xie named him a good countryman, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.

As for the speech, he is famous for his writings at home, learned as a Confucian sect, a model for scholars, and a scholar of the country, and is the author of 20 volumes of "Shangshu Chapters and Sentences" and "Three Rites Commentary".

But even so, he, like Zhao Qi, can only be considered half done.

If Lu Zhi could understand Liu Xie's meaning and open up a new school in the subsequent Confucian doctrine improvement movement, then he would have completed his speech and become an immortal figure of the three Han Dynasty.

And the third candidate of the three immortal figures is Zheng Xuan, the master of the Han Dynasty scriptures.

Zheng Xuan, including the canon, covering all families, deleting and cutting complicated accusations, publishing and correcting omissions, mainly studying ancient scriptures, and adopting modern scriptures, commenting on the group scriptures, annotating the "three rites", for the "Zhou Rite Note", "Ritual Note", "Rite Notes", "Rite Notes", and also annotated "Mao Shijian", "Yi", "Shangshu", "Filial Piety" and "Analects".

As long as it is a scripture, he has basically commented on it, so the people in the rivers and lakes give it the nickname "Zheng Note"!

His commentaries, totaling more than one million words, are known as "Zheng Xue", and it is precisely because of these Zheng Xuan's commentaries on scriptures, in addition to the family law of the past and the present and the ancient, literary and scripture, that the scriptures have entered a unified era.

His commentaries on the Confucian classics were included in the commentaries of the Nine and Thirteen Classics as official textbooks for more than a thousand years, before the Yuan Dynasty, and made a very important contribution to the spread of Confucian culture and even the entire Chinese history and culture.

Therefore, in terms of speech and morality, Zheng Xuan is sufficient;

But meritorious service???

It seems that this contemporary No. 1 scholar is not interested in being an official, when the first emperor was alive, the three mansions had recruited him twice, but Zheng Xuan politely declined under the pretext of excuse.

Therefore, Liu Xie privately believes that Zheng Xuan only wants to pounce on Confucianism in his life, and only wants to be a scholar quietly.

Because when he was critically ill, he was still annotating "Zhou Yi・・・・・・

It is precisely because of Zheng Xuan's comprehension of Confucianism that he is known as the first person in the world, so in the subsequent Confucian improvement movement, Liu Xie naturally thought of taking this contemporary No. 1 scholar as the mainstay.

And Liu Xie was not afraid that he would not be recruited and would not accept the call, because Liu Xie had already ordered someone to hand him a letter, and the content of this letter would definitely arouse the interest of this scholar.

As long as he enters the urn and accepts the call of the Son of Heaven, then in the next improvement of Confucianism, Liu Xie will be much easier.

"Your Majesty~~~"

Liu Bei called softly outside the chariot a few times and woke Liu Xie up.

Pulling open the curtain, the Son of Heaven poked his head out: "Xuande, what is the so-called thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the road ahead has collapsed in many places, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it for a while, I hope Your Majesty will wait a little longer~~~"

Following the direction pointed by Liu Bei, Liu Xie looked extremely forward and found that there were indeed traces of collapse in many places ahead, which continued for several miles.

"It's fine in the morning, why is it like this at noon?"

After muttering to himself, Liu Xie suddenly remembered something, and his face changed greatly! (To be continued.) )
