With such a big movement in the Central Plains, the three departments of Liaodong and Goguryeo naturally received the news.

On the one hand, he begged for mercy from Yang Zheng, and on the other hand, he actively prepared for war and concentrated his troops.

"Your Majesty has always advocated the Qin Yi family, and our department has never betrayed, why should Your Majesty be so unsympathetic?" The envoy was a well-mannered Han man who came prepared.

The Xianbei people were able to grow because they absorbed a large number of Han people and switched from simple nomadism to farming.

"In the battle of Yecheng back then, didn't you send troops to Qinghe for the Sima family? Why are you so forgetful? Wei Qian sneered.

"At this time and at that time, when the Sima family occupied the Central Plains, Cao Wei Chan let it, our department deceived it, I don't know what it is, I had to send troops, now Daqin is orthodox, and my department naturally returns to Daqin." The messenger was also sharp-tongued.

Yang Zheng said with a smile: "If you really return to the Great Qin, you can attach it to the clan, and I will treat it well, and the Qin people and Xianbei are all one family." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Xianbei people are not accustomed to the water and soil of the Central Plains, they are only willing to fight for the Great Qin, and I hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled."

"Are you fighting for the Great Qin? Who is Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang, and Xuansu occupying today? Yang Zheng flicked his sleeves and said unhappily.

The Han Dynasty not only these four counties in Liaodong, but also Lintun, Zhenfan two counties, after Biqiu Jian swept Liaodong, the south of Changbai Mountain, the Lingdong area of the Outer Xing'an Mountains was also included in the two counties of Lelang and Daifang.

The envoy's face was difficult to look at, no matter how clever he was, he couldn't change the fact that he had invaded the four counties, and it was impossible for them to spit it out.

"Although the Great Qin army is mighty, but the Central Plains is three thousand miles away from Liaodong, the soldiers of Great Qin are not tolerant of bitter cold, for the sake of Your Majesty, if the war does not go well, I am afraid that it will damage Your Majesty's prestige."

Yang Zheng got up from the soft couch with a "sigh", "Are you threatening me?" ”

Murderous anger swelled in his eyes.

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you talking about?

After the Xianbei people grow stronger in Liaodong, they will definitely reach out to the Central Plains, which is not subject to personal will.

Similarly, after the Central Plains Empire is strong, it will definitely send troops to Liaodong.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the foreign minister is just planning for His Majesty, for the sake of Great Qin, and there is no offense."

"Then listen well, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Go back and inform the three departments, either the clan will be attached and not lose the reward of the marquis, or wash the neck and wait for Daqin's knife! ”

I really don't know what they're sending people to talk nonsense for.

The messenger retreated in fear.

"The three divisions of Liaodong plus Goguryeo are quite powerful, and they should not be taken lightly, and they are willing to go on the expedition." Du pre-arched his hand.

He must have made the safest move.

However, Ma Long has been preparing in Youzhou for a long time, and now it is definitely not the time to change the coach.

Du pre-empted the past, had a good relationship with the Youzhou generals and Haoqiang, and was familiar with border affairs, not a matter of one or two days.

And Ma Long's ability is not bad, in Yang Zheng's mind, Ma Long's military strategy is no worse than Du's.

originally thought that Wei Qian would speak out to stop him, after all, he and Ma Long were in the same spirit, and Du made meritorious contributions, but in fact, he seized their interests.

But Wei Qian didn't say a word.

After getting along for so many years, each other's temperament has long been understood, Yang Zheng instantly knew Wei Qian's thoughts, Du Pre was already a very popular minister, if this battle was won, Du Pre-sealed could not be sealed, the situation would be even more troublesome, and every move would be stared at.

If he is defeated, Du Pre's Shangshu Order will not be able to be saved.

Shang Shuling is almost the prime minister of Great Qin, with great power, while Zhongshu Ling is only an auxiliary minister.

It's competition, but it's also infighting.

At this level, it's impossible to do without infighting.

If the people above don't fight, the people below will also fight.

A bowl of water should be flat, not favoritism.

Yang Zheng smiled: "Use a knife to kill chickens? The three departments of Liaodong, it is enough to have Ma Xiaoxing! Yuan Kaimo has to forget, I still need your support for the Taixing ceremony. ”

Du Yu was a person, and he heard the clue from his tone, "What Your Majesty said is very true, it is enough for Youzhou to have a horse governor." ”

Great Qin is thriving, and a large number of good generals and ministers have come to the fore.

Yang Zheng only needs to set the national policy, and the whole country will move forward in the direction of formulation.

Speaking of which, the significance of the Taixing ceremony is no less than the development of Liaodong.

One is spiritual and the other is realistic.

The first list of the Taixing Canon has come out.

Not surprisingly, the opening chapter is full of Confucian classics.

Confucianism is certainly not wrong, cultivation is not bad, Yang Zheng also admits its dominance, but to give some space to other schools, right?

Therefore, at the request of Yang Zheng, the rankings of Mohist, arithmetic, medicine, astronomy, and geography were pulled to the front, and Confucianism was ranked last.

It is also stipulated that in the future of the Great Qin Imperial Examination, the admission quota for other subjects will be equal to that of Confucianism.

There are too many places in the country where arithmetic and medical skills need to be used.

However, the move did not meet with much opposition.

First, Yang Zheng is the founding emperor, and he can do whatever he wants.

Second, the imperial examination has just been out for a few years, and it is still in the exploration stage.

Third, smart people have long seen that arithmetic and medical skills are not a threat to Confucianism.

Many Confucian scholars were already proficient in arithmetic and medicine.

The only threat to them is the Mo family.

At first, Yang Zheng felt that Mohist and Confucianism were similar, with many similarities, but after in-depth understanding, he realized that they were fundamentally two opposing schools.

On the one hand, it advocates metaphysics, and on the other hand, it pays attention to arduous practice.

During the Warring States Period, the influence of Mohism was once higher than that of Confucianism.

Yang Zheng personally feels that in the long course of history, Confucianism has been constantly corrupted, which is caused by the lack of competitors and too good grasp.

And how did the scholars come about?

It is nothing more than a group of Confucian scholars who have mastered the right to speak, the right to speak, and the right to read.

To support the Mo family is to divide the scholars at the root.

From the perspective of the traveler, the doctrine of Mohism is actually more in line with the law of the development of human society than Confucianism.

Mozi, who was born at the bottom, was dissatisfied with the ruling ideas of Confucianism to maintain power and nobility, respect for relatives, and suppression of human nature, and disgusted with Confucian red tape, so he "used Xia Zheng against the Zhou Dao", emphasizing the spirit of learning Dayu's hard work and frugality, and practicing hard work and simplicity.

Have a strong social practice spirit.

What Chinese civilization lacks most is actually practice.

However, the Mo family also has a lot of bad things, it is well-organized, it goes to the soup and fights, it does not spin its heels, it does not compromise with those in power, it has its own laws, and it has very strong military skills, and behind closed doors, it is a prince.

Therefore, it is inevitable to be ostracized by the rulers.

When he met the eloquent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, and the Mo family completely declined.

Yang Zheng's principle has always been to take its essence and remove its dross.

The Mo family's set, developed in the Great Unification Dynasty, is also a big hidden danger.

What Yang Zheng needs is their practical spirit, and as for other political ideas, they can no longer keep up with this era.

Of course, if you want to compete with Confucianism in the short term, it is a fool's dream.

It is also easy to arouse the opposition of the corporal of the world.

It is still the previous method, boiling frogs in warm water, first resurrecting the theory in the "Taixing Canon", and then slowly guiding it with the imperial examination, and naturally a group of people will be born to learn Mojia.

If governing a big country is to cook small dishes, any reform cannot be done by wishful thinking, and it is necessary to pay attention to skills and slowly figure it out.
