Under Liu Che's strong supervision, the examination of the palace began, and it was full of people standing in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, among which there were more than 100 people in the palace examination, Liu Che walked behind the book case under the escort of Zhang Jiayang, and everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Fellow virtuous literature, please be even. Liu Che smiled with satisfaction, then looked around, scanned every participant in the hall and continued, "Virtuous literature, the Han Dynasty has gone through ups and downs for 60 years, and has made some achievements today, so that the people of the world can live a stable life, but governing the country without law will cause chaos in the world, and the common people will suffer. ”

As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing at His Royal Highness shook his fan and laughed, and Liu Che immediately said unhappily: "Who is the name of this virtuous person, why didn't he have a chance to laugh." ”

"Long live my emperor, my subordinate surname is Dong Zhongshu, I laugh for the last sentence His Majesty said, for example, I Dong Zhongshu is a classic character, it should not be whether the emperor chooses me to serve the country, but whether I choose whether to serve the emperor, after listening to His Majesty's words just now, I can't help laughing, please forgive Your Majesty. It turned out that Dong Zhongshu was also in the crowd of the palace test today.

Liu Che looked at this weak-looking middle-aged man, and couldn't help asking, "Oh, Dong Zhongshu, I've heard that when the doctor is the court, the head of all Confucian scholars?"

"Exactly. ”

"Well, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a person with lofty ideals, and you will start answering the questions according to the questions I have come up with, and the results will be known after I read them. ”

"Your Majesty, we will obey the holy will. A handsome old man with a white beard and white hair interjected.

Liu Che looked at the white-haired old man and smiled: "Hehe, beautiful old man, you should be Gongsun Hong, right?"

"Your Majesty Shengming, it is Lao Suo's ......"

"You should say less, follow the rules of our Confucianism, don't flatter and lose the face of our Confucians. An older old man muttered beside Gongsun Hong.

After hearing the old man's words, Gongsun Hong lowered his head slightly shyly and said no more.

Liu Che was even happier when he saw it, and said with a smile: "This old man should be Yuan Gusheng, how is it, how is it in Qinghe, how are you living in Qinghe, and you will have a long life this year?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Lao Suo is Yuan Gusheng, thank Your Majesty for your concern, now in his old age. Yuan Gusheng said tremblingly.

"Okay, okay, Dahan is really full of talents, from the prime of life to the elderly, Dahan is rich and strong just around the corner, don't say more, now start to write what you want to say to me on the board, I have my own decision." ”

"No. The virtuous writers under His Royal Highness sat on the ground one by one, and the sound of knives and pens began to be endless, Liu Che looked at it and looked back and forth with satisfaction, at this moment, it seemed that the whole world was under his control, and these virtuous writers would be indispensable chess pieces on the road to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the palace test, Liu Che looked at the board handed over, looked at it seriously, and flipped out a roll of the board casually, and the neat title of the article read: 'Heaven and man induction, monarchy and divine authority', and then sprinkled hundreds of words around this center, Liu Che was very fascinated by it, which roughly means 'Heaven is the supreme lord of the universe, Heaven has absolute authority, man is created by heaven, and monarchy is granted by heaven. The ruler of man is commanded by heaven, carries by heaven, rules on behalf of the will of heaven, and all subjects should obey the monarch absolutely'.

After reading it, Liu Che shouted: "Good." ”

Liu Che instantly seemed to see the fire in the dark, saw hope in the confusion, his thoughts were instantly opened, and he understood that the theoretical basis he needed was about to appear, and he was even more admired when he saw the signature at the end of the article: "Dong Zhongshu, it really deserves its name, it really deserves its name." ”

Dong Zhongshu's 'Heaven and Man Induction, Divine Grant of Monarchy' hit Liu Che's heart, the Han Dynasty was established for more than 60 years, after the operation of six emperors, due to the internal and external situation, they couldn't help but focus on external troubles and internal worries, stumbling to this day, and finally took a little breather, Liu Che wanted to stabilize the internal rule of the Han Dynasty, and had to find a way that could be done once and for all, otherwise he would also enter the vicious circle of the emperors, and saw Dong Zhongshu's question and answer, which lit up the hope in Liu Che's heart, Liu Che immediately commanded:" Xuan Dong Zhongshu came to see me, and I had a question to ask him. ”

"No. At this time, Dong Zhongshu and all the virtuous and virtuous writers stayed in the virtuous literature museum and sat in the precarious position, waiting for the emperor's summons, after the confessor issued the will to summon Dong Zhongshu, Dong Zhongshu unhurriedly sorted out his clothes, and followed the confessor out of the gate of the virtuous literature museum, and gathered the envious eyes of countless virtuous and virtuous writers behind him.

Dong Zhongshu walked into the Xuanshu Hall and bowed to Liu Che and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "Dr. Dong is exempt, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Liu Che continued: "After reading the doctor's questionnaire, I have benefited a lot. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Hehe, I have another question after reading this question of the doctor's policy. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak, I, Dong Zhongshu, will definitely try my best to answer. ”

"Okay, the heavens and men are sensitive, and the divine authority of the monarch is clearly understood, but how can the people of the world understand this truth, otherwise the internal worries of the Han will continue, the outer ring cannot be lifted, and the hard life of the common people in the world will continue. ”

At present, the Han Dynasty should unify its thinking and take out the doctrine of Confucius for all beings to learn, and other miscellaneous families must be reined in, so that the hearts of all the people in the world can think together and work hard in one place. ”

"Okay, good, good, Doctor, can you write me a detailed exposition of what you just said? ”

"Of course, I'll present it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, okay, send Dr. Dong to the Xianliang Literature Museum and wait for Dr. Dong to write an article. ”

"No. The confessor on the side said yes and walked up.

Dong Zhongshu saluted and said: "Dong Zhongshu retired." ”

Returning to the Xianliang Literature Museum and preparing the sword, pen and board, Dong Zhongshu began to write hundreds of words around the central idea of 'promoting the Kong clan and suppressing the hundred schools', and the confessor presented it to Liu Che at a very fast speed.

When Liu Che saw this article, he was still very satisfied, and couldn't help but say good again and again, but he always felt that he still had a sense of unfinished, so he then ordered: "Hurry up and ask Dong Zhongshu to come and see me." ”

Dong Zhongshu still stood respectfully in front of Liu Che, Liu Che looked very fond of it, and said with a smile: "Dr. Dong, I have read this article you wrote three times, it is very good, very good, I like it, but I still have a problem." ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"In recent decades, the Han Dynasty has come through internal and external troubles, and the lives of the people in the world have improved, but these contradictions still exist, what do you think I should do to change the current situation?"

Dong Zhongshu thought for a while and said: " The key point that caused this situation is still domestic, there is no real unification, Your Majesty should unify the thinking at the same time, let the world be truly unified, all listen to Your Majesty's instructions, strengthen the internal Spring and Autumn Integration, to jointly deal with the foreign Yi, so that these problems can be solved, it is true that to meet these requirements must be assisted by like-minded and capable people, which requires Your Majesty to establish a good set of virtuous selection channels, the establishment of Taixue, against the current Ren Zizi election system, the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. ”

"Oh, good, good, good. Liu Chelian said a few good sons and then said, "The doctor has to write me the detailed exposition he just said, and I will read it carefully." ”

"No, Dong Zhongshu obeyed. Dong Zhongshu returned to the Xianliang Literature Museum, took out a knife and pen, and wrote a 100-word article on the topic of 'the unification of the Spring and Autumn Period, respecting the king, establishing Taixue, reforming the talent promotion system, and opposing the election system of Ren Zizi', and presented it to Liu Che, who couldn't sleep at night, read it repeatedly, and benefited a lot for a while.

Later generations called the three Q&A between Dong Zhongshu and Liu Che the 'Three Strategies of Heaven and Man', which laid the foundation for Liu Che's leading ideology in charge of the Han Dynasty.

Next, Liu Che consulted all the virtuous literature's policy articles, and felt a lot of feelings, Dong Zhongshu naturally won the first place, and then Gongsun Hong, Yan Zhu entered Liu Che's sight.

Liu Che tossed like this, and immediately entered the sight of the Empress Dowager Dou, some old ministers such as Xu Chang and Zhuang Qingzhai took turns to go to the Empress Dowager Dou to slander and slander, and the Empress Dowager Dou always replied: "The old woman is old, the future is young, or let the emperor toss, you all have to do it yourself." ”

A busy time passed quickly, Zhang Jiayang returned to his home to rest after a recent errand, and suddenly saw two Confucian people sitting in his house, Zixia was busy pouring water to entertain, Zhang Jiayang asked Liu Fangfei in the courtyard, "Guests?"

Liu Fangfei smiled and replied: "Jiayang is back, yes, since the emperor's palace test, these two have come many times, I don't know who they are." ”

"Oh, I'll take a look. ”

Liu Fangfei said: "Then let's go inside." ”

Zhang Jiayang said: "Oh, oh, oh, Madame is right, Madame is right." ”

Zhang Jiayang walked into the living room as he spoke, only to see the two of them standing up together and saluting Zhang Jiayang: "Zhang Duwei, you are finally back, Zhao Juan and Wang Zang have been waiting here for a long time." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Wang Zang, the young master of the crown prince, welcome to the cold house. Zhang Jiayang turned to look at Zhao Juan and said, "I don't know who this is?"

Wang Zang hurriedly said: "This is the junior brother below, named Zhao Xuan. ”

Zhao Juan hurriedly saluted and said, "Zhao Juan is polite here." ”

Zhang Jiayang hurriedly saluted and said: "Oh, I know, I have often heard my mentor Shi Lao mention it before, Shi Lao also came to your mansion as a guest, Shen Gong's disciple, when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

"Zhang Duwei has won the award, he has won the award. Zhao Juan replied a little shyly.

"I don't know if you have any advice for going to the cold house today?" Zhang Jiayang changed the topic.

Zhao Juan looked at Wang Zang, Wang Zang looked at Zhao Juan, frowned at each other, Zhao Juan sighed and said: "Zhang Duwei, don't do it well, don't hide it from you, the emperor has also participated in this palace test, and now he has been in Chang'an for several months, but the emperor has no news at all, knowing that Zhang Duwei is the emperor's personal guard, well-informed, can you inquire about the news for my junior brother, and see if he can embark on a career this year." ”

"Oh, I see, but Young Master Wang can also ask. But when he looked up at Wang Zang's frowning brows, he patted his head and said, "Okay, this matter is on Jia Yang, and I will ask the emperor when I go to Weiyang Palace tomorrow." ”

Zhao Juan and Wang Zang knelt on the ground in unison and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

Zhang Jiayang hurriedly grabbed the two and said, "This is a gesture, you don't have to be polite." ”

Wang Zang then said: "Zhang Duwei is busy with official business, we won't bother more, if you have any news, just go to the Xianliang Literature Museum to find Zhao Juan or come to my Wang Zang's mansion as a guest, thank you." ”

Zhang Jiayang said very enthusiastically: "Don't be too anxious, you two will go back after eating here." ”

The two turned around and stepped to the door and said, "Don't bother, don't bother, stay from now on, stay." ”

As he spoke, the two of them walked out step by step.
