When Liu He and Cai Yan were talking to each other in the back garden, a unique conversation was unfolding in Han Fu's mansion.

Although Han Fu has some cowardice in his temperament, he is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, otherwise he would not have been able to be a Jizhou pastor at the beginning. Liu He is a lucky star for Han Fu, if it were not for Liu He's secret help, Han Fu's best fate now is to return to his hometown, and it is impossible for him to mix with another state pastor in Youzhou. Although Han Fu still has the mountain of Liu Yu on his head now, he doesn't have to worry about his life, and he also has a lot of face in Youzhou, so he lives a comfortable life and doesn't want to ask for more.

Han Fu can think about it and understand that as long as he honestly follows Liu Yu's father and son to do things, people will definitely not lose themselves, so he has always obeyed Liu He's suggestions, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all that his official position is higher than Liu He's, but he has to listen to the words of a junior.

Liu He is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, every time he gives Han Fu suggestions and opinions, he always points to something, not for personal interests, gains and losses, and hobbies, which is why he makes Han Fu not feel difficult.

For example, this time, when Liu He came to see Han Fu, he first discussed with Han Fu how to allocate the student quota of Youyan Academy in order to be fair and reasonable, and then talked about the troubles he encountered in his marriage, and asked Han Fu to act as a lobbyist to help persuade Cai Yong, so as not to be stubborn when the university scholar arrives.

If Liu He asked Han Fu to help him as soon as he came up, he would have a sense of arrogance, which would make Han Fu feel that he could only be a matchmaker and lobbyist for Liu He now, and his sense of existence would naturally be seriously insufficient. Liu He first discussed business with him, and it was also a sensitive matter such as the enrollment of Youyan Academy, which not only satisfied Han Fu's face, but also allowed Han Fu to find his inside.

Don't forget, although Youyan Academy is newly built, the teachers who can be hired are the leading bachelors of the Han Dynasty and the scholars of Yingchuan Academy, and all students who can enter Youyan Academy to study in the future. It is equivalent to entering the cadre training and training school in Youzhou, and the future is bright and unlimited.

In the long run, if Liu Yu's father and son can one day reorganize the Han Dynasty like the original Guangwu Emperor, the scholars from Youyan Academy will naturally have more advantages than the rest of the academies in the world, after all, this was founded under the noses of Liu Yu and his son.

Liu He asked Han Fu to participate in the enrollment of Youyan Academy, needless to say, the benefits of this are not much to say, for some scholars who are looking forward to entering the academy to study, who should be able to help them. That is the great grace that needs to be remembered for a lifetime!

After Han Fu invited Cai Yong into the mansion, he didn't directly talk about Liu He and Cai Yan's marriage contract, but said: "The people from the craftsman's workshop came to report to me a few days ago, saying that after a month of drying and ventilation, Youyan Academy can now live in it, I don't know when the university scholars are going to open the hall to teach apprentices?" ”

Cai Yong stroked his gray beard and replied: "As long as you can gather enough 100 students, the old man will start to sit in the hall and give lectures." ”

"The scholar is so humble! This time, if it weren't for the eldest prince's requirement to strictly control the entrance gate to study in Jicheng, it would be said that Youyan Academy had gathered enough 100 students, and I was afraid that thousands of students would come easily! ”

"Oh. Liu Shiren even asked about this? Please also tell me more about how he asked for it. Cai Yong was clearly interested in Liu He's attitude.

Han Fu was looking for a few more topics to keep Cai Yong in the mansion, so he said unhurriedly: "The eldest prince's opinions on the enrollment of Youyan Academy can be summed up in three ways, one of which is to highlight the basics and not to make any profits. The daily expenses of the college are paid by the state; The second is to highlight fairness, not to select students based on family background and background, so that children from poor families also have the opportunity to enter the museum; The third is to highlight openness and not follow the principle of one family. As long as you are a truly talented scholar, you can come to the college to preach on the stage! ”

At the beginning, Cai Yong listened to Han Fu's introduction and nodded frequently. When he heard the words "not taking the word of the family as a guideline", his face suddenly changed color. "Wenjie, dare to ask Liu Shiren what is the purpose of not taking the family's words as a guideline?"

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu has engaged in a great castration of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" in the ideological and academic circles, and since then has completely transformed Confucianism into a powerful academic to maintain the rule of the emperor, which is completely contrary to some of the core ideas put forward by Confucius and Meng Shengren.

Gui Zhen means standards and laws, Liu He quietly proposed not to take one family as the criterion, obviously moved to the idea of bringing Confucianism off the altar, Cai Yong, as a generation of history cultivators, of course understands the huge risks and terrible consequences hidden in this, so he will knowingly let Han Fu explain.

Han Fu smiled bitterly, thinking that Liu He had guessed correctly, the university scholar was not easy to fool at all, and it would really take some effort to pass him today.

Han Fu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said thoughtfully: "For the idea of open school proposed by the eldest prince, the contemptible people did not agree at first, and felt that it was too bold, but the eldest prince only used a few words to dumb me to ask. ”

"What did he ask you?"

"The eldest prince asked me if the Confucian sage had asked Lao Tzu for advice, and I replied that there was. The eldest prince asked Lao Tzu again whether he was a Taoist or a Confucian? I can't answer. The eldest prince then asked me if the Han became more and more powerful after I respected Confucianism? I thought about it, but I still couldn't answer. ”

Han Fu stopped here when he said this, and the room fell silent.

Liu He's question is actually very simple, he only uses a question to point out that the reason why Confucianism flourished in the first place was because Confucius was eclectic and learned from the strengths of others, rather than relying on simple and crude academic hegemony and confinement methods. Then, Liu He ruthlessly tore off the mask of Confucian hypocrisy with another question, because the Confucian ideological system is actually not the only good way to govern the country and the people, the Han Dynasty, which respects Confucianism, began to decline after Emperor Wu, even if there was Guangwu Zhongxing later, but after more than 100 years of tossing, people with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty's qi will be exhausted, if it is not for Liu He who was born out of thin air and created several miracles one after another, I am afraid that now even the emperor does not know where the road has been robbed by warlords from all walks of life......

Cai Yong is erudite and talented, proficient in scripture and history, astronomy, music and rhythm, and good at rhetoric. Strictly speaking, he was different from his contemporaries such as Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, and Lu Zhi. Cai Yong was not a pure Confucian. He is a learned master of this era, and his interest and focus are not on politics itself, but on the revision of history, so Cai Yong agrees with Liu He's views and opinions from the bottom of his heart, but whether he dares to say it out loud or not is another matter.

At this time, although the world is chaotic and the etiquette is broken, if anyone jumps out and says that Confucianism should not be respected alone, it is tantamount to being the enemy of the scholars all over the world, and the pressure and risks that need to be borne are unimaginable. Liu He quietly engaged in open school running in Youzhou. He didn't want to use Cai Yong's reputation to boost his momentum, and the scholar was obviously aware of this.

"Shiren is in a bit of a hurry in this matter!" Cai Yong sighed and said with some concern.

Han Fu didn't sigh with Cai Yong, but asked, "Dare to ask the university scholar how many times this spring and autumn?" ”

Cai Yong didn't understand the intention of Han Fu's question, but he still answered truthfully: "The old man is already sixty-three this year. ”

"If there is no help from Taifu's father and son, I wonder if the scholars can escape the disaster of Chang'an at the beginning?" Han Fu asked again.

"If there is no Liu Bo'an father and son to save him, I am afraid that the old man will already be gone." Cai Yong replied.

"To say an offensive word, the scholar is now a man of flowers. is also a person who has experienced the catastrophe of life and death, even if you ascend to the heights of Youzhou at this time and question the exclusive Confucianism, are you still afraid that the world's scholars can do something to you? Han Fu asked the most critical question.

Cai Yong pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Hahahaha...... but the old man thinks too much!" Since even Liu Shiren, a young man in his prime, is not afraid of this matter causing the world's attention, how can I, an old man with loess buried in his neck, be afraid! Anyway, Youyan Academy is the first in the world. Allow other schools to come and preach! ”

Seeing that Cai Yong was no longer entangled in this matter, Han Fu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then continued: "Scholars don't have to be entangled. After all, the eldest prince is about to become your son-in-law, and you are the father-in-law to help your son-in-law, which is a matter of course, even if anyone wants to blame you in the future, with the Taifu and the eldest prince blocking you in front, who can help you? ”

Han Fu's words just touched Cai Yong's soft spot, and the scholar complained with a look of annoyance: "This is the reason, but Liu Shiren's guy is really annoying, when he said in Chang'an and Luoyang, he would marry my daughter when he returned to Youzhou, and now I and Yan'er have been in Youzhou for half a year, but the Liu family has disappeared, and I can't say it clearly, so as to make people feel that my daughter can't marry Lu!" ”

Listening to Cai Yong's slightly depressed complaints, Han Fu felt very happy in his heart, and he deliberately fanned the flames and said, "Your daughter's marriage should be hurried!" A few days ago, I heard that the Mi family in the East China Sea and the Qiao family in Anhui County are interested in marrying the Liu family and want to marry their own baby daughter to Youzhou! If the two of them were preempted, Zhao Ji's status in the Liu Mansion would not be as noble as the first one to marry in! ”

"What? There is such a thing! I said that Liu Yu's old man has always been hesitant every time he sees me recently, and he actually hit this idea! Cai Yong got up from the couch and was about to go out, looking like he was going to Taifu's mansion to fight with Liu Yu.

Han Fu hurriedly got up and grabbed Cai Yong, and then persuaded him with good words: "University scholars should be in a hurry!" Listen to me explain this to you in detail, and after I finish speaking, it is not too late for you to decide whether to go to Liu's Mansion or not. ”

Cai Yong sat back patiently and listened to Han Fu's explanation.

Han Fu then told Cai Yong in detail how Liu Yu chose a daughter-in-law for his son, and he especially emphasized that before Dong Zhuo died, Liu Yu originally wanted to send someone to Chang'an to propose marriage to the Cai family, but he heard that the daughter of the Cai family had married the Wei family in Hedong, so he set his sights on the Mi family in the East China Sea and the Qiao family in Anhui County. Later, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun's design, Cai Yong was imprisoned, and Ma Riyan went to the door of Cai's mansion to propose marriage without the consent of Liu Yu's father and son in order to rescue Cai Yong, which finally made Wang Yun jealous, which saved Cai Yong's life.

Because the key to the whole thing is actually related to rescuing himself, Cai Yong's anger disappeared after hearing this, and he asked Han Fu with a headache: "In this way, do I have to watch my daughter fall behind other people's daughters?" ”

Han Fu waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's not so serious, the Mi family and the Qiao family are just fighting for face, but the eldest prince likes your daughter the most, so as long as you don't insist that the Liu family immediately give Zhao Ji the status of wife and wife, this family business can be handled immediately!" ”

Cai Yong understood what Han Fu meant, nodded and said, "Although this is a little wronged by my daughter, it can also make it easier for Master Taifu, so let's handle it like this." (To be continued......)
