Chapter 52: The world rises up, and the way is the first!
A breeze blew from Zhaocheng, and only the weeds on the side of the road shook slightly.
A soft voice came out, low as a moan in sleep.
"Zhaocheng is open."
The breeze suddenly turned into a violent wind, whistling by, rolling up countless raging crossings in the sky.
That whispered word was louder than 10,000 people shouting in unison.
The speaker stood on the top of a high mountain, and he spoke to the valley, so that the wind spread his voice everywhere.
The distance of thousands of miles is just a blink of an eye.
"Go to Zhaocheng!"
"Go to the Academy!"
"Worship the sages!"
Countless voices resounded in the land of Zhuxia, and the students of various counties and counties in the world flocked to Zhaocheng with their own teachers, and the students who traveled to Zhaocheng chose Zhaocheng as their first stop, and even Chang'an's Taixue had students who took leave to go to Zhaocheng.
Linzi.
This is one of the strongholds of Meng Ru.
Meng Ru has a reputation in the world, but it is mainly a prominent scholar in the Kanto region, and there are not many people who go to the Chang'an court to be officials, but they are more powerful in the counties of the Kanto region.
The contemporary head of the Meng family is a great Confucian in the sea, and he is already at the age of white hair, he is relatively close to Zhaocheng, but he can still only go to the temple of the sons of Zhaocheng to worship on the day of the big festival, but he didn't expect to see Zhaocheng reopen at the end of his life.
"Teacher, Zhaocheng is reopened, do you want to go?"
Looking at the young faces in front of him, there were his own disciples and students, his face exuded infinite vitality, thinking back to the two hundred years of Meng Ru's history, he suddenly felt full of spirit.
In the past two hundred years, except for the Qin Dynasty, there has never been a time of decline, and there are endless students who want to worship Meng Ru, and there are even other Confucian factions who have switched to it.
As long as Meng Ru adheres to the core of his thoughts, he will be invincible, Luo's will not fall, and Meng Ru will live forever!
Meng Ling laughed loudly: "Boys, when Zhaocheng is reopened, it should be me Meng Ru to suppress the factions, so that the other factions of Confucianism know why the patriarch Mencius is the one who holds the bull's ear under the two sages of Luokong!" ”
Only talking about other factions of Confucianism, but not mentioning other hundred schools, this is a kind of self-confidence, Huang Lao still has the strength to fight, but in the face of the many Confucian families, the odds of victory are not great.
Lao Zhuang is too independent and has left the world, Confucianism is the study of entering the WTO, and the two sides are not a track, not put together.
The Mo family and the Legalist family are about to be defeated, and the Mo family still has a strong vitality at the grassroots level, especially the handicraft associations have the shadow of the Mo family, but they have no influence on high-level politics.
The Legalists only have Qi Fa who wears a pair of pants with Confucianism, and the Sanjin Legalists will be abolished to thank the world no matter how hard they work.
The situation is very good, and the advantage is mine!
……
Yingchuan County is one of the large counties in the eastern part of the country, with a large population, and the imperial court set up three town guard princes here, all of which were established at the time of the founding of the country, namely the Marquis of Yingyin, the Marquis of Wuyang, and the Marquis of Yangcheng, each of which was a famous liehou, and made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Jingyan.
However, there is a huge Han County, naturally there are not only these three families, in Yingchuan County, there are other families with a little reputation, such as the Xun family.
The surname Xun first appeared in the Xun State, and was later annexed by the Jin State and became the minister of the Jin State, so it was passed down, but the most famous is one of the Confucian sages.
The Xun family is one of the inheritance families of Xunzi.
Xunzi's doctrine is relatively different among Confucianism, which is nothing, and the scholarship between the various schools of Confucianism is even-for-tat.
What affects Xunzi's status more is that he taught two students, Li Si and Han Fei, which is more outrageous.
The Xun family is not a big family, at best, it is a small and powerful family with a family education, especially after practicing the law, it is excluded openly and secretly among Confucianism, even if the court shows Confucianism, there has been no great development.
However, for more than 100 years, there have been people in the clan who have served as assistants in the county, and the more outstanding ones can go to the county to serve as subordinate officials, neither rising nor declining, so they quietly study the classics in the county, waiting for the opportunity.
"Zhaocheng is open."
When the news reached Yingchuan, the always calm Xun family became restless, and disciples who studied Xun Ru came to visit Xun one after another, hoping that Xun could come forward together.
Xunzi's inheritance family is not small, and even some families study the classics that are not worse than Xun's, but Xun's status is still unusual, just like studying the Spring and Autumn Classics, and no matter how much you study, you can't avoid Luo's.
"Xun Degong, Xun Sheng should have been on the same list as Mencius, but because Mencius married Luo's daughter, his status in the eyes of the world has improved, and there are even remarks that Meng Ke is good at arguing and holy is clear.
This is ridiculous.
Most people in the world are ignorant, but anyone who has read through the articles of Mencius and Xun Sheng knows that Mencius is just a fantasy, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but it is just empty words.
What Xun Sheng refers to is the broad road.
There are not the disadvantages of being able to do home, and there is no empty talk of Confucianism and Taoism.
As a result, it is still here, the classics are dusty, the sages are glorious, and it is sad and lamentable. ”
The one who is called Xun Degong is the contemporary head of the Xun family, and he said: "Gather all the families, go to Zhaocheng to worship the ancestors in the temple of the sons, and carry forward the reputation of Xun Confucian, our name is engraved on the door record, the Spring and Autumn Confucianism has been prominent for a long time, and now it is time for us to show off Xun Confucian." ”
……
Changan.
Liu Yi had already looked at the news in his hand and raised his eyebrows, he thought that what his mother said about the Luo family was coming back was simply to send someone into the court as an official, but he didn't expect it to be so explosive and directly released.
Is this to influence and intervene in the big man on a deeper level?
Is it because of the matter of Emperor Lu that makes Luo's family feel uneasy?
Liu Yi naturally didn't know that Luo's had done a questionnaire survey on the attitudes of all classes in the world, so he made such a change.
"Your Majesty, all the masters in the world have gone to Zhaocheng, even if Your Majesty you give an edict, there are not so many people, this is really ......
Could it be that the hundred-year-old son of heaven of the Liu family is not as noble as the Luo family? ”
Liu Yi had already heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, staring at the eunuch who was speaking, and then said lightly: "Isn't this a normal thing?"
If I am not the emperor, I will also go to Zhaocheng.
Time is the greatest power in the world, and the prestige of a thousand years is comparable to that of a century-old dynasty.
By the time the Han Dynasty is three hundred years old, in the hearts of the people of the world, the Liu family will be able to compare with the Luo family.
With this time to chew my mouth, if I take the recital outside the hall and do one more thing, the Han will prosper for a while, the national Zuo will be extended for a moment, and the Mandate of Heaven will favor the Han more and more. ”
The eunuch frowned with cold sweat, and hurriedly withdrew from the palace, Liu Yi was silent for a while, looked at the distant Zhaocheng, and instructed the attendants beside him: "Go and prepare a big gift to send to Zhaocheng, I heard that many clan relatives have gone to Zhaocheng, and the royal family should not be left behind." ”
When the attendant heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Obey, Your Majesty." ”
The attendant hurriedly walked out, and Liu Ying had already recalled the conversation with his mother, "The most taboo thing about being a king is to let the emotions in your heart coerce you, once you get to this point, the king will be controlled."
Unwarranted suspicion will damage people's hearts, and the corruption of people's hearts is irreparable, you are walking on this road now, I don't know how long you can live, but I hope you can always refrain from playing with those power tricks. ”
Liu Yi had already opened his hand again and muttered: "The royal way and the domineering are used at the same time, the royal way is to govern the people with grace, and the domineering punishment is to punish the evil spirits, both the name and the weapon, to make people afraid and make people close, this is the way to become a holy king." ”
……
Shojo.
Luo Sheng looked at the endless flow of people, and sighed with some emotion, the opening of Zhaocheng is not only a shock to the world, but also to the people living in the Principality of Zhao.
In the past, there were very few people from outside the Zhao Principality, because the control of the government was very strict, but now after the control is relaxed, although the government will still screen the crowd, the number of people who can enter has increased exponentially.
"The head of the family, the five inheritance families of Meng Ru have all entered the post station, Meng Linggong is visiting friends in the city, do you want to summon Meng Linggong to the palace."
Meng Ru is the sword in Luo's hand, and there are always some privileges, Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "Meng Ru is here to preach, we must be fair and just." ”
Luo Shizi, who spoke, hesitated when he heard this: "Family master, Meng Ru's scriptures and righteousness are inherently flawed, unless there is a sage like Mencius, I am afraid that he will not be able to prove the Great Dao." ”
Luo Shi has always been very clear that Mencius's Tao is too righteous and has gone to an extreme, Luo Sheng said indifferently: "All the ways in the world have their role, although it is difficult for Meng Ru to get the final victory, but it has a solid foundation, and it is also difficult to fail." ”
"Family Master, it's the first time that the six inheritance families of Xun Ru have appeared together!"
Although Xun Ru's reputation is not obvious, but Luo's has always been concerned, Xunzi used to be the sacrificial wine of Luo's Palace, there are complete classic records in Luo's family, and the Holy King Humane is the most operable among Confucianism.
"The head of the family, Thirteen is meeting with everyone in the Mo family, most of them are children of the Tiangong faction, people who form associations, and some heroes who are famous all over the world."
Thirteen is a contemporary Mohist giant, who has always traveled around the Han Dynasty and is the most frequent son of the Luo family.
Now that Zhaocheng is wide open, the children of the Mo family scattered among the people naturally want to enter Zhaocheng to meet the giant.
"It's all here."
Luo Sheng listened to these news one by one and was very satisfied.

Zhaocheng was the well-deserved cultural center of the Han Empire, and during the decades when Zhaocheng was self-isolated, Chang'an attracted most of the scholars of the empire, and grew rapidly with the resources invested by the imperial family, which objectively affected the status of the cultural center of Zhaocheng.
However, after Zhaocheng lifted the restrictions on entry, the situation between East and West was broken in an instant, and Chang'an's plan to build a cultural center comparable to Zhaocheng failed, and Zhaocheng's position could not be shaken without political forces intervening. -- General History of the World: Ancient Chinese Civilization
