Chapter 357: The Essence of the Controversy
As mentioned last time, many officials rushed to Xuchang from Chengdu one after another, and the number of officials in Xuchang gradually increased. Some officials went back to read the newspaper after the last court meeting, and felt that what the Second Division had done was too brutal, contrary to the teachings of the saints, and in fashionable terms, it was not in line with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, so it was necessary to criticize.
So, in today's court meeting, these people stood up and began to denounce the Second Division, and as soon as these people denounced, those officials who supported the Second Division would naturally jump out and fight back, so the court meeting became a mess.
The ministers took turns to make generous speeches, and some even blushed with excitement, and Liu Hou watched their performances gradually change from annoyance to amusement. He had the feeling of looking down on all beings from above, and as an emperor, he was completely above them.
He is an arbiter, and he does not need to participate in this kind of dispute at all, he just needs to sit on the throne and watch the play, just watch a performance, not only does he not have to get involved in this dispute, but he can also use this dispute to achieve his own goals.
I have to say that Liu Hou's mentality has been greatly sublimated and changed at this moment, and this change has made him more like an emperor. In his previous life, where did he have the opportunity to look at things so detachedly, even in this life, he was personally involved in various affairs, and he has been working hard and trembling to this point.
And when he treats his subordinates, he never looks like a superior ~ person, but mingles with them, and even compliments him. Maybe it was right to do this before, especially when he had not yet ascended the throne as an emperor, which would give people a sense of generosity and proximity to the people, but now that he is a feudal emperor on top, I am afraid it will be inappropriate to behave like this.
No one knew that this controversy in the court had actually prompted the transformation of the little emperor's mentality, and it was only now that Liu Hou finally felt that he had finally completed the role change, and a dick began to transform into the role of a rich and handsome emperor. Yes, the emperor must have the emperor's heart and mind, and the emperor must have the emperor's code of conduct ~ things.
Liu Hou didn't listen to the generous statements of His Majesty Dan's ministers at all, and the few words that flashed in his heart were: the emperor's mental technique, the unpredictable power of heaven, and the companion of the king like a tiger, etc. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face. However, because they were wearing twelve crowns, the ministers could not see the subtle changes in the emperor's expression very clearly, so no one noticed the slightest hint of mockery in the emperor's smile.
The so-called twelve is to refer to the emperor's crown in front of the bead curtain hanging down, the twelve bead curtains are very exquisite, is made of 12 colorful reels (silk ropes) to wear, each through 12 pieces of colorful jade, according to the order of Zhu, white, Cang, Huang, Xuan, each piece of jade is 1 inch apart, each 12 inches long.
However, the Han Dynasty crown dress is not limited to five colors, according to the record of the "Later Han Dynasty Book and Public Opinion Service System", the twelve are white jade beads. This is estimated to be the colorful jade is too precious, it is not easy to make up, so I have to use white jade instead, now the world is in chaos, the materials are scarce, and it is even more difficult to make up this luxury, so Liu Hou's crown is also made of white jade.
Liu Hou felt that this design was very ingenious, 12 inches long, which is equivalent to thirty centimeters, enough to cover his face, and he hung down in front of his face, because he was very close to his eyes, so his eyes could clearly see the expressions of the ministers through the gaps between them, but the ministers couldn't see their expressions clearly because of the blocking.
This gave Liu Hou a feeling of hiding aside and secretly ~ peeping at the minister's performance. As an emperor, you must always maintain your majesty, and you must not show your mood and anger, and this kind of prop plays a good auxiliary role.
Most of the people who support Guan Xing are ministers who followed Liu Hou to the east and west, such as Guo Youzhi and Bu Qi, etc., they are not only close ministers of the Son of Heaven, but also the old man of Liu Hou's palace when he was still the prince, and Liu Hou's closeness and loyalty to Liu Hou are incomparable to others, and they will naturally maintain Guan Xing, who is close to the little emperor as a brother.
And they can also be said to be Guan Xing's comrades-in-arms, along the way, the civil and military cooperation is seamless, which is why Hong swept the world and was invincible in the world. At this time, someone ~ impeached and criticized Guan Xing, of course these former comrades-in-arms were unwilling, and of course they had to come out to defend it. However, Deng Zhi and Sima Yi have not spoken up, neither side has helped each other, I don't know what they are thinking.
After Liu Hou's observation, the impeachment and criticism of Fang Yi were the most active in persuading students to engage in Qian Zhou, advising the doctor Du Qiong, and the bachelor Xu Ci. Qian Zhou Ziyunnan, twenty-four or five years old, was born in a famous scholarly family, lost his father at an early age, was nurtured by his father, was diligent and studious since childhood, read scriptures and books, and knew astronomy. He was one of the great Confucians of Shu, and Chen Shou, who wrote the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", was his student.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang appointed him to be engaged in persuasion and education, in charge of education, and he was in such a high position in his twenties, it is conceivable that he is indeed a learned person. Du Qiong is a middle-aged man in his forties, the word Boyu, knowledgeable, silent and silent, who studied with Ren An since he was a child, and was a famous scholar during the Three Kingdoms period.
He is not only proficient in the art of latitude and longitude, but also proficient in astronomical astronomy, and once discussed astronomy with Zhou Zhou. Xu Ci is also a middle-aged man, a native of Nanyang, who studied under Liu Xi, proficient in Zheng Xuanjing, and studied "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Analects" and so on. During the Jian'an period, he came to Shu with Xu Jing and others.
After Liu Bei pacified Shudi, he took Xu Ci and Hu Qian as bachelors, and took charge of ancient books together with Meng Guang and Lai Min. It can be seen that these people are all well-educated people, and they are famous scholars, great Confucians, and scholars in Shuzhong. Of course, these so-called scholars are old scholars for Liu Hou, and they are completely different from the new studies he advocates.
He advocated a variety of natural sciences, and set up relevant courses and research institutes in Dahan Longteng College, and vigorously supported relevant experts to conduct in-depth research on these disciplines. As for Chinese studies, that is, his so-called old studies, he paid less attention, which inevitably aroused the dissatisfaction of the old scholars, that is, the children of Confucianism.
This time, the ministers attacked Guan Xing and the Second Division, and there may not be no reason for this. On the surface, they were dissatisfied with the brutal behavior of the Second Division, but in fact they pointed their swords at the little emperor and resented the little emperor's practice of "disrespecting Confucianism and advocating a hundred schools".
Liu Hou didn't figure this out at first, but after his mentality changed, he watched the debate between the ministers of the two factions coldly, summarized and summarized the composition of the ministers of the two factions, and analyzed their remarks, and began to gradually understand the true nature of the matter in his heart~.
After figuring it out, the sneer in his heart became even worse, but as an emperor with a city government, it was not suitable for him to jump out at this time to settle the matter, so he decided to accompany these people to play slowly.
