Chang'an City.

It was just noon, the blazing sun was baking the earth unscrupulously, and some of the soldiers guarding it were already sweating hot, and from time to time their colleagues complained, "The weather is really getting hotter and hotter on this dog day, and it's only been a few months." ”

But no one dared to relax, because the place they guarded was called the Taishang Palace, and it was full of students who read the scriptures of the saints, and they were going to become officials in the future.

With the collapse of Emperor Xiaowen, these years in the vicinity of Chang'an, those rangers who had disappeared seem to have some signs of revival, in the countryside there are people who claim to be a certain hero with a sword, among these people are mixed, although there is no lack of true righteousness Bo Yuntian, quite similar to the heroes of the ink in the past, but more are some people who do not enter the stream, and then enter the evil path of bandits, these guards are to guard against these people.

Too learned.

One of the holy places in the hearts of all the people who aspire to the world in the Han Empire, the other is the Luo's School Palace in Zhaocheng, these two school palaces, one in Kanto and the other in Guanzhong, are the two pearls in the hearts of the world's scholars.

However, there is still a difference between the two, Taixue is used to learn the classics, and by virtue of the identity of the student, you can enter the office faster, and the Luo's School Palace is more like a kind of further study, because there are the most complete classics in the world, the most Gaoshi annotations, and the Luo's son who has been poor all his life preaching, when King Luowen returned to Zhaocheng to worship his ancestors, he had preached a few times, and it was said that it was an empty alley at that time.

There has always been a legend in the world that the doctors who can give lectures in the Zhaocheng Academy are at least the level of masters of various factions, and even the best of them can be called "sons".

If you can replace Luo's son in charge of the school palace and serve as a sacrificial wine, it is a holy place, just like the former Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, etc., are all recognized sages, one level higher than other sages called "son".

Generally speaking, the Luo's School Palace is used to preach, and its status is extremely high, and its status in the hearts of the world is not something that Taixue can shake at all.

However, Taixue also has its own advantages, that is, the Son of Heaven often pays attention to it, Taixue sacrificial wine is a high-ranking official who is more than two thousand stones, although it is currently concurrently held by Luo Jing, but from the level of the official position, you can see its status.

In Taixue, a group of young people are scattered in a very large open space, these young people are basically dressed as scribes, except for the ink man, the decoration of the others is similar, these young people are naturally students of Taixue, and they are debating fiercely here.

However, as the debate progressed, many people's hands had gradually pressed on the swords at their waists, and even began to look for the more empty places around them, and then the behavior of these people was discovered.

After all, it's too obvious, you are arguing with a person, and a person suddenly stares at you fiercely without speaking, and his face is full of murderous anger and he is about to draw a sword in his hand, can you not know that he is going to draw a sword and stab you to death?

"What are you doing with your sword? Is it because you want to commit murder in this holy place of Taixue? Don't think that I, Huang Lao, am afraid of you Confucianism! ”

The words are very hard, but there is still a little weakness in my heart, and now there is something wrong with this Confucian student in Taixue.

The previous Confucian scholars also had a very hard spirit, such as Meng Ru, who dared to shout a single husband with the knife of the first emperor, and was also tough in the face of the high emperor who didn't like Confucianism very much, but that kind of hardness was mainly aimed at the emperor and the powerful, and it was a kind of unyielding in the bones.

But since Dong Zhongshu's new doctor entered Taixue, the atmosphere has changed all of a sudden, but he can't force too much, he has to do it directly, it's really outrageous, the debate is reasonable, and only those who make sense should win.

Even many Confucian schools feel that this group of people is really sick in the brain, and they also say vigorously: "This is the teaching of the sages, there are no generations of sages fighting swords, where did Zhuxia now stretch across thousands of miles of land and territory, where did Zhuxia come from now flourishing Sheji!" ”

This situation is not a little better until Luo Jing comes forward to stop it, the debate is indeed the reason, and the four Yi can be used to implement the reason, but their own people still have to argue, after all, the more the reason is argued, the more the debate is more progressive, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large part of the reason why it can progress so fast is because each school attacks each other's weaknesses every day, forcing them to progress.

Even Luo's internal debate is debated from time to time, and sometimes Luo's doesn't know where to go, and it is necessary to gather the wisdom of everyone to jointly check and fill in the gaps.

"Now is the heyday of the world, the Huns are strong, in recent years, they have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Han Dynasty and plundered the people of my Han Dynasty, such a shame is bearable, which is unbearable?

Hu people are prosperous, this is the danger of Zhuxia, if it is not cleared as soon as possible, one day you will have to raise tigers for trouble, such a big world, you Huang Lao is still holding on to the defects, saying what small countries and widows rule the world, what is rich in the people, the court does not interfere with the natural wealth, Emperor Xiaowen such a holy lord Mingjun has switched to Confucianism to govern the country, you still do not want to forge ahead, and now you are still here and a certain debate, quickly retreat, I will not say much to you. ”

After Liu Heng established Taixue in the later period, the Han Dynasty not only used Confucianism as an official, but also began to gradually abandon Huang Laoxue's concept of governing the country and began to use the Confucian concept of governance.

Although it has not reached the point of deposing the hundred schools, the other doctrines are already in a subordinate position, and the only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Heng consciously balances the number of officials of various schools in the imperial court, which makes other schools not like in history, they need to change their faces to become Confucian scholars in order to be officials, but can still rely on the identity of Huang Lao's students, and even Legalists and Mojia students.

But the problem is that Confucian talents who attach importance to education have emerged one after another, especially in the commentaries on the scriptures, which have gradually lifted other schools of thought.

Then the Spring and Autumn Confucianism began to actively build momentum for the war, but some schools were dragging their feet, and naturally it was even more declining, and now among the Taixue, it is the Dong Spring and Autumn Confucianism that fights in all directions, and other Confucian schools follow behind from time to time poke two knives, Meng Ru steadily occupies his own position, always preaching the concept of the royal road, and preventing the schools from going to extremes.

"It's really alarmist, the Han is the lord of Zhuxia, it is the destiny of heaven, the land of Zhuxia in the past is only a thousand miles, the population is only one million, and the barbarians are all over the world, and they still survive at that time, and they have the current foundation.

Now Zhuxia has a land of thousands of miles, tens of millions of people, and the Hu people are only a few million, ten times the difference, can it still pose a threat to the Han Dynasty?

When the war is together, it will be conscripted and conscripted, and military service will be consumed countless grains, cloths, weapons, and populations in vain, what is the benefit of this to the Han Dynasty?

Is it to allow some people to stain his seal and robe red with the blood of the people? ”

As soon as these words came out, even his companions directly pulled it and asked him not to say it anymore, through the continuous propaganda in the past few years, a trend has gradually emerged among the people, and now it is not something that a certain person can control.

Hearing this, Confucian directly put away his sword and sneered: "Stupid, I don't want to say much to you, Your Majesty's holy decree will tell the world what is the general trend." ”

……

In Changle Palace, Liu Chezheng looked at the feedback submitted by the county guards from all over the country with great interest, and said quite excitedly: "This is the people's heart, how can it be defeated with this people's heart?" ”

People's hearts are the most tenacious and easiest things to change in the world, in recent years, through the continuous advocacy of the Spring and Autumn Confucianism, the idea of incompatibility between the Han and the Xiongnu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then with the continuous small raids of the Xiongnu, verify the theory of the two kings of the Spring and Autumn Confucianism, everyone firmly believes that if the Xiongnu is not eliminated, then the final elimination is the Han, the fight against the Xiongnu has gradually become politically correct, more and more people are on the book, Liu Che has not expressed his position, did not speak, but this attitude is a hint, As a result, more and more people are reading books.

"Report!"

There was a high voice of reporting outside the Changle Palace, Liu Che's face tightened when he heard this, this kind of news that was not communicated in advance was military information, and the attendant hurriedly walked in, holding a battle report and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Huns invaded the northern border in small groups, killing thousands of people in the county, nearly fifty Han soldiers were killed, and thousands of people were plundered. ”

Liu Che's face was instantly filled with anger, thousands of people were killed and wounded, and thousands of people were plundered, this was a naked slap in his face, and there were fifty Han soldiers killed, which can be recorded, it must be a regular Han army, and the entire Chang'an City is only twenty or thirty thousand Han troops, which is the root of the Han court's central deterrence of the Quartet, and this time it actually damaged fifty?

"What about the Huns?"

Liu Che forcibly suppressed his anger, in case the Huns suffered greater casualties, he couldn't just rely on the casualties on his own side to make an order.

The attendant crouched on the ground, he was so close to Liu Che, and he clearly felt the anger of His Majesty the Emperor, for fear that this emperor would kill himself if he was in a bad mood, and a eunuch had no status, so he trembled and said: "Return to Your Majesty, behead the thirteenth level." ”

This sentence instantly made Liu Che's anger explode, even if it was a one-to-one casualty, it was normal, but one-to-five, isn't it embarrassing?

"What are the captains of Yanshan and the king of Yanshan doing?"

Liu Che pulled out the sword beside him and shouted loudly: "It's my responsibility to defend the land, how are these two wastes guarding the land for me?"

Spread my will, take away the king of Yanshan, let him go to Chang'an to apologize, the captain of Yanshan directly escorted me to Chang'an, I want to ask him if he wants to go to Lingnan or Qiongzhou.

In addition, immediately summon the general, the prime minister, Dong Ahou and Dong Zhongshu, the war has been prepared for so long, I can no longer bear it, I want to let the Huns pay for the blood debt! ”
