Compared with the dying modern literary school, the style of the ancient literary school today is completely different.

One failure after another made the old guys of the Wenjing School lose face, and in order to save their respect, some old guys who usually don't come forward much took the initiative to participate in the debate.

They don't dare to trouble juniors.

Because it doesn't make much sense.

If you win, you won't be martial, and if you lose, you will die directly.

And they looked at Liu Bei, who was strong in combat and directly superb, and they also felt worried, feeling that they really wanted to debate, and they might not be his opponent.

When it comes to political struggles, they still have a set of conspiracies, all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, full of bad water, and reversing black and white to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, all of which are experts.

But when it comes to academics, they really can't.

They don't know how long they've been obsessed with power tricks and abandoned academics.

So they can only go to middle-aged scholars like Lu Zhi and Fu Qian, who have been famous for a long time, and try to find a place from them.

However, although Lu Zhifu and others are not so angry and their combat effectiveness is not as strong as Liu Bei, they are steady, and they fight back and forth with these old guys.

After days of debate, they could not win, and they were also criticized by Lu Zhihe, Fu Qian and others.

All face is lost.

The bigwigs are all gone, but they still can't win, and the weakness of the modern literary school is completely exposed in the eyes of the world.

As a result, the large-scale school of ancient scriptures completely broke out and could not be suppressed.

In this surging tide of counterattack by the ancient Wenjing school against the modern Wenjing school, the Yuan and Xun clans, who took the initiative to jump out of the matter, seemed quite calm, and they did not intend to fall into the quagmire of the modern literary school.

At the end of September of the fifth year of Guanghe, when the Jinwenjing school was defeated in the battlefield of public opinion, Yuan Kui met with Xun Shuang, an important figure of the Xun clan who came from Chang'an and secretly entered Beijing.

Although the Xun family also has a family inheritance of modern literature and classics, Xun Shuang himself has seen through a certain trend, conformed to the trend of the times, and has already begun to study ancient scriptures.

Like the Yuan family, the Xun family is also a family with a more flexible moral and political bottom line, and the wife of Xun Yu, an important son of the new generation of the family, is the daughter of Tang Heng, a regular servant, which is quite similar to the connection between the Yuan family and the eunuchs.

Xun Shuang was implicated by the disaster of the party before, and had to live in seclusion to avoid chaos, hiding in the Chang'an area for a long time, and has been concentrating on creation, writing books and sayings, planning to follow Zheng Xuan's path.

But this time the matter is so big, as the most powerful person in the Xun family, he can't stay out of it.

So he secretly went to Beijing and met with several of his brothers, and then the brothers appointed the plenipotentiary representative of the Yingchuan Xun clan and the representative of the Runan Yuan clan, Yuan Kui, to meet, and the two families were ready to discuss some key matters.

On the day of the meeting, the news that Liu Bei had once again defeated the siege of six people at Yuan Shao's banquet spread throughout the entire Luoyang City, and the scholars of the ancient school of literature and scripture frantically built momentum and celebrated for Liu Bei, so that Yuan Kui and Xun Shuang, who had just entered Beijing, quickly learned about it.

"It's good to be young, at the age of twenty-one, it is the time when you are full of spirits, and you have such a talent, one person can challenge six or nine people, and you can still win a complete victory, how amazing, no wonder Lu Zigan even has to take him with him to teach him carefully when he fights, and lead him to be a closed disciple."

Xun Shuang picked up a glass of rice wine, drank it a little, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Thinking back then, when I was not so high-spirited, I am really a little jealous when I think about it...... Self-cultivation is still not at home. ”

Yuan Kui shook his head.

"Although Liu Xuande is talented, he is sharp, and he doesn't know how to keep his head down, which is not a good thing."

Xun Shuang looked at him with a smile and said, "Isn't it really a good thing?" ”

“……………………”

Yuan Kui was silent for a while, and then said, "In most cases, it's not a good thing. ”

"And now?"

"Xun Jun can say whatever he wants......"

Yuan Kui sighed: "Things have come to this point, what else can't be talked about between you and me?" ”

Xun Shuang agreed with Yuan Kui's words, so he nodded.

"Indeed, although my father had expected that the study of the scriptures was cumbersome and that it was not a good thing, and that sooner or later it would lead to disaster, he did not expect that so soon, a catastrophe would come."

"Today's behavior cannot be measured by common sense."

Yuan Kui shook his head and said: "What the eunuchs did was largely allowed by today, and even today may not have personally participated in the planning, isn't this the reason why my generation is passive everywhere?" Today's scholars of ancient scriptures are in trouble, and our generation is losing ground and losing face......"

"It's not just a loss of face, it's just stupid to the extreme!"

Xun Shuang swept the smile on his face, his face was full of fierceness, and he said: "Only focus on the immediate interests, see the long-term, blindly suppress the ancient school of literature and scriptures, and give no room for relaxation, forcing them to completely stand with the emperor and eunuchs!"

The emperor and the eunuchs knew that they had to win over helpers, but they didn't know! Thinking that he is strong, thinking that he can't divide the profits, and pushing his friends to the enemy, he is purely looking for death! Maybe we'll die together! Outrageous! ”

Yuan Kui was not surprised that Xun Shuang's face changed instantly.

Xun's Eight Dragons, in Yuan Kui's opinion, can really be called a dragon, and Xun Shuang is the only one.

Most of his other seven brothers are middle-aged and decent Confucian students, but it is only with the awesome father of [Shenjun] Xun Shu and the excellent brother Xun Shuang that the chicken dog ascends to heaven.

This is also the reason why he is willing to meet and chat with Xun Shuang.

A family that does not know how to be flexible has no need to cooperate, but the Yingchuan Xun family has a certain ability to be flexible and is not rigid.

"What Xun Jun said is extremely true, I didn't agree with continuing to suppress the ancient literature school from the beginning, time has passed, and there are people studying ancient literature and scriptures everywhere, so many people, how to deal with them? I don't want to win over, but I still have to suppress it, short-sighted! How short-sighted! ”

Yuan Kui shook his head and sighed for a while, then looked at Xun Shuang again, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, I think the situation is irreparable, Xun Jun has not, from last month to now, Jinshang and the eunuch have been inexplicably quiet, not doing anything, not saying anything." ”

"Noticed, but that's the scariest thing, who knows what they're thinking?"

Xun Shuang said in a low voice: "At present, the general trend is that the party system against us is still the same, and the party system against the ancient literature school has been lifted, or in two or three years, they will be able to enter the hall and grasp the power. ”

"So, what is Xun Jun's plan?"

"Yuan Jun asked me a clever plan, I'm afraid I also have a clever plan?"

Xun Shuang stared at Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui pursed his lips, smiled, and then handed over a pen and a piece of bamboo slip, and said, "Why don't we write down our plans together and exchange them?" ”

"Very good."

Xun Shuang instantly smiled and agreed to Yuan Kui's suggestion.

The two of them wrote for a while, and then exchanged words.

After just one glance, the two of them laughed like a heart, looked up again, and laughed at each other.

"It's worthy of Xun Jun!"

"Yuan Jun is the same, I can only say that my generation thinks quite consistently."

"So, just do it?"

"Just do it!"

The two high-fived three times, which was an agreement.

So on the first day of October of the fifth year of Guanghe, where the dispute between ancient and ancient texts intensified, Yuan Kui, the new Situ and Yuan family speaker, and Xun Shuang, the imprisoned party member and Xun Shuang, the Xun family speaker, publicly submitted the table to Emperor Liu Hong.

On the grounds that "Ram Spring and Autumn" was out of date, they asked Emperor Liu Hong to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu, remove the ram, and set up "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Classic" as the only officially recognized Spring and Autumn Classic to represent orthodox scholarship and set up a doctorate.
