Chapter 573

After accepting Hu Guang's allegiance, Emperor Han Huan finally had a trustworthy and weighty cronies in the court, which gave Emperor Han Huan a certain right to speak in the officialdom, so that no one would pay attention to anything.

As for the second person recommended by Yang Zhen, that is Ma Rong.

Because Ma Rong is proud of his talents, and he bullies the soft and fears the hard, after being taught a few times by Liang Ji, he began to take refuge in Liang Ji, and made all kinds of sycophants against Liang Ji, and also wrote articles to praise Liang Ji's merits, so that Emperor Han Huan's opinion of Ma Rong was very bad.

Ma Rong, the word Ji Chang, Fufeng Maoling people, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the grandson of the famous general Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, came out as an official very early, successively served as a school secretary, the county Gong Cao, the Lang, the general engaged in Zhonglang and Wudu, Nanjun Taishou and other positions, and later because of offending the general Liang Ji and was shaved and exiled, on the way suicide attempted, to avoid the crime of recall, and re-appointed Lang, and in the Dongguan school to survey the Confucian classics, and then resigned due to illness, Yanxi nine years (that is, AD 166), Ma Rong died, at the age of eighty-eight, In the Tang Dynasty, he enjoyed the sacrifice of Confucius, and in the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously awarded the title of Fufeng Bo.

Ma Rong has a lot of books in his life, including "The Book of Filial Piety", "Analects", "Poems", "Zhou Yi", "Three Rites", "Shangshu", "The Biography of the Daughters", "Laozi", "Huainanzi", "Lisao" and other books, but unfortunately they have all been scattered, and the "Yuhan Shanfang Series" and "Han Xuetang Series" compiled by the Qing people have been compiled. There are also works such as Fu Song, some of which have been lost, and the Ming people have "Ma Ji Changji", and Ma Rong is especially good at ancient scriptures. Set up tents and teach disciples, and there are often as many as a thousand disciples. He is not bound by the etiquette of Confucianism, "Juyu utensils and clothes, and many extravagant ornaments." Try to sit in the high hall, Shi Jiang yarn tent, the front of the apprentices, and the back of the female music. Many ministers during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, such as Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, were his disciples.

Because Ma Rong is the son of Ma Yan, a master craftsman, his ancestor is the famous general Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he has received an excellent education since he was a child, so Ma Rong's speech and posture are beautiful, and he is talented and good at words.

Prior to this, the Jingzhao people lived in seclusion in Nanshan, taught their disciples with Confucianism, and should not be recruited by the state and county, and were famous in the Kansai region. So Ma Rong followed him to study and read the scriptures, because Zhisui admired Ma Rong's talent, so he married his daughter to Ma Rong for you.

In the second year of Yongchu, the general Deng Qiu heard of Ma Rong's reputation, so he called him to serve as a person, but Ma Rong did not like this position (disgusted that the official position was too small), so he did not respond to the order, and then Ma Rong lived in Liangzhou's Wudu, between the two counties of Hanyang, and encountered the Qiang people at that time to rebel and disturb the border, so the local rice price soared, from the west of Hangu Pass, the people who starved to death on the road one after another.

Under the nest, Ma Rong naturally suffered from hunger, so he regretted it and said to his friend: "The ancients had a saying: 'The left hand is according to the map of the world, and the right hand cuts its throat. Why is that? Life is the most precious thing. Now for fear of the ridicule of the people of the country, the priceless body is destroyed, which is not in line with Lao Zhuang's reasoning. ”

So, Ma Rong, who had found a good reason for himself, decided to respond to Deng Qiu's recruitment.

In the fourth year of Yongchu, Ma Rong was worshiped as a school scholar and went to Dongguan Dian School to collect books. At that time, it was the Empress Dowager Deng who was in power, and the Deng Qiu brothers were auxiliary to the government. Generally, the Confucian scholars who are superficial believe that virtue can be prospered and martial arts should be abolished, so the system of martial arts training was stopped, and the method of battle formation was not emphasized.

Therefore, Ma Rong was very dissatisfied with this, thinking that the way of civil and military affairs is valued by the sages, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, people use them together, and none of them can be abolished, how can they not talk about martial arts.

So in the second year, Ma Rong completed the "Ode to Guangcheng" to satirize the imperial court, but after the "Ode to Guangcheng" was sent to the palace, it offended the Deng family in power, so Ma Rong had to stay in Dongguan, and he was not allowed to be promoted within ten years, so Ma Rong later returned home because of the death of his nephew, and the Empress Dowager Deng was furious when she heard about it, thinking that Ma Rong did not obey the orders of the imperial court and wanted to be an official in the state and county, so she directly ordered Ma Rong to be an official.

Then in the first year of Jianguang, after the death of the Empress Dowager Deng, Emperor Han An was in power, so he recalled Ma Rong back to the palace to speak, and then let Ma Rong serve as the chief of the Hejian Wangstable, and at that time, Emperor Han An visited Daizong (Mount Tai) in the east, so Ma Rong took the opportunity to present the "Ode to the East Tour", so Emperor Han An was surprised by his literary talent, so he called Ma Rong to be Langzhong.

In the first year of Yanguang, Liu Yi, the Marquis of Beixiang, ascended the throne, and Ma Rong resigned due to illness and served as a meritorious officer in the county.

Later, in the second year of Yangjia, the imperial court ordered the ministers to recommend the people of Dunpu, and the captain of the city gate, Cen Qi, recommended Ma Rong, and Ma Rong rushed to the conscription, and was appointed as a councillor after assessment. , and then appointed by the general Liang Shang as his own engaged in Zhonglang, and later promoted to Wudu Taishou, as a result of the Xiqiang rebellion at that time, the general Ma Xian and Hu Chou led the army to conquer, but delayed, and Ma Rong knew that Ma Xian would be defeated, so Shangshu asked for permission to lead the Guandong soldiers to attack 5,000, but the court did not listen, and then Ma Rong thought that the Qiang and the northern minorities may come to invade, should be prepared, soon, the Qiang people of Longxi County rebelled, Wuhuan invaded Shangjun, all as Ma Rong said.

Ma Rong later experienced three promotions, to the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Ma Rong served as the Taishou of Nanjun, before, Ma Rong, who was proud of his talents, offended the general Liang Ji because of some things, so Liang Ji hinted that the relevant departments falsely accused Ma Rong of corruption in the county, Ma Rong was dismissed from his post and exiled to Shuofang County, but on the way to exile, Ma Rong attempted suicide and was recalled to avoid crime. He served as a speaker again, and surveyed Confucian classics in Dongguan School, and participated in the continuation of the "Han Ji" (known as "Dongguan Hanji" in history), and later resigned due to illness.

At the beginning, Ma Rong was punished by the Deng family, so he didn't dare to offend the powerful again, and later drafted a memo for Liang Ji to frame the Taiwei Li Gu, and was reprimanded by Wu You at that time: "Li Gong's crime is under your hands." If Li Gong is killed, what face do you have to see the world? Ma Rong was speechless.

However, after that, Ma Rong was the general of Liang Ji's "Ode to the West", so he was quite laughed at by honest people.

Therefore, although Ma Rong was a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty at that time, he was rejected by the scribe forces because of his virtue, but his reputation was undoubted, so Emperor Huan of Han still accepted Yang Zhen's recommendation and recruited Ma Rong.

And at this time, Ma Rong also knew his embarrassing situation, after all, Liang Ji, who he was clinging to at the beginning, had been killed, and those who were just secretly mocking Ma Rong. Now he has no scruples about standing up and accusing Ma Rong, so Ma Rong at that time urgently needed a new backer to ensure that he would not be criticized by those scribes, after all, Ma Rong is also a good-looking person.

Therefore, Ma Rong accepted the call of Emperor Huan of Han without hesitation, went to Luoyang as an official, and became Hu Guang's subordinate.

Although Ma Rong is a little inflammatory, but the ability is definitely there, knowing the dilemma that Emperor Han Huan is facing now, so Ma Rong decided to recommend some talents for Emperor Han Huan to Luoyang City as officials, after all, a celebrity like Ma Rong is responsible for recommending talents, and others are not easy to say, so Emperor Han Huan's power in the court is growing rapidly, which can be regarded as Ma Rong's credit.

However, as the saying goes, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and Ma Rong recommended his disciple Zheng Xuan as a high-ranking official.

When it comes to Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan, there is a story of dark Ma Rong arranged in "The World Speaks New Language", which tells the story of Zheng Xuan when he was studying under Ma Rong, and he didn't see Ma Rong for three years, but Ma Rong's talented disciples taught him scriptures.

At that time, some people said that Zheng Xuan could calculate, Ma Rong called Zheng Xuan over and asked him to do the calculation, and Zheng Xuan solved it as soon as he calculated it, and everyone was surprised and admired him.

As a result, when Zheng Xuan finished his studies and said goodbye and went home, Ma Rong immediately sighed that the center of Li and Music was about to move to the East, worried that Zheng Xuan would be famous, so he was very jealous of him and wanted to come to Zheng Xuan's trouble, so Zheng Xuan also guessed that Ma Rong would come to chase after him, so he walked under the bridge and sat with wooden shoes in the water. So Ma Rong decided not to chase after him, and Zheng Xuan was finally spared death.

But this is just a legend after all, and Ma Rong is not going to do such a thing.

When Zheng Xuan was born, the Zheng family had already fallen, his grandfather Zheng Ming and father Zheng Jin were not out of office, only farming in the countryside, and the family life was relatively poor.

But Zheng Xuan has been talented since he was a child, and he likes to read, and he is diligent and studious, so Zheng Xuan has studied the study of books since he was a child, and when he was eight or nine years old, he was proficient in the arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, Zheng Xuan was able to recite and narrate the Confucian "Five Classics" of "Poems", "Books", "Yi", "Book of Rites", and "Spring and Autumn". At the same time, Zheng Xuan also liked to delve into astronomy, and mastered some techniques such as "fortune hunting", "wind angle", and "hidden art" to speculate on good luck and evil based on changes in weather and wind direction.

However, Zheng Xuan knows that these are just side roads, so Zheng Xuan has been dedicated to learning since he was a teenager, and has established the ambition of learning scriptures, and has been immersed in books all day long, diligently, but Zheng Xuan is not vain, pragmatic by nature, there is a small thing that can illustrate this problem, when Zheng Xuan was eleven or twelve years old, he once accompanied his mother to his grandfather's house as a guest, there were many guests at that time, more than ten guests here were dressed beautifully, dressed up in a new look, one by one refreshing words, boastful, it seemed very status and style, Only Zheng Xuan sat silently on the side, as if his identity and talent could not catch up with others.

As a result, Zheng Xuan's mother saw this and felt that her face was gloomy, so she secretly urged him to show up, show some talent, show some generosity and spirit, but Zheng Xuan disagreed, saying that these vulgar scenes "are not what I want, not what I want".

When Zheng Xuan was 16 years old, he was not only proficient in Confucian classics, familiar with the ancient classics, but also proficient in the study of Wei Wei Fangshu, and could write good articles, which was well-known in the local area, and was known as a prodigy. Some rare phenomena in nature, such as the double spikes of grasses and the appearance of rare birds and animals, are regarded as God's rewards for people and their appreciation for "political clarity".

Therefore, in order to prove that the ruler's behavior was in line with the will of heaven, the imperial court encouraged the local government to report the "Fu Rui" step by step, so as to deify and praise the feudal rule and paralyze the people, but the government at that time was corrupt, and most of the state and county officials were relatives and friends of the eunuch forces, so they basically did not make a fuss.

In this year, some people offered Rui, and two different seedlings grew together to produce a melon, called "Jia melon"; A branch of rice bears two ears of rice, called "Jiahe", so the county wants to please the superiors, so the situation of "Fu Rui" is written into an official document and added a eulogy to report, but the officials are despicable and unwritten, and the things written are really not good, so they have to ask the prodigy Zheng Xuan to rewrite, so Zheng Xuan wrote the official document and wrote two eulogies, which were appreciated by the county officials. The county guard thought that Zheng Xuan was a rare genius worthy of the name of a prodigy, and later personally presided over the crown ceremony for him, and Zheng Xuan's reputation began to spread.

According to the "Biography of Xuanbei", Zheng Xuan was 17 years old, one day he was studying at home, and suddenly saw a strong wind, he calculated according to some of the techniques he mastered, predicted that a fire would break out on a certain day, a certain time, and a certain place, so Zheng Xuan immediately went to the county government to report, so that the government could prepare early, and the result was that a certain day and a certain time, a fire really broke out in a certain place, but because of early preparation, it did not cause a big harm. This matter spread quickly, and Zheng Xuan was regarded as a "stranger" by the local people.

Finally, with the growth of knowledge and learning, Zheng Xuan entered the youth age, and although Zheng Xuan was determined to devote himself to studying scriptures, and already had a certain degree of scripture attainments, but due to his poor family background and poor life, he no longer had the conditions to continue to study, and his parents and brothers were forced to study for many years without industry.

Therefore, at the age of 18, Zheng Xuan had to go out of office, as the post of the township husband, the Han Dynasty local government at that time to implement the county, county two-level system, below the county set up township, pavilion, li, shi, wu, etc., generally five households for the team, ten households for the li, ten miles for the pavilion, ten pavilions for a township, and the township is a township-level local official, in charge of litigation and taxation and other matters.

For the work in charge of his own supervision, Zheng Xuan was diligent and conscientious, and he was very grateful to the township, and he was soon promoted to become a township leader, which is about equivalent to the position of deputy township head.
