Although Ma Riyan did not get any intelligence information between the Second Empire and the Third Empire, and was not a member of the inner circle, he was still the boss of the Imperial Observatory.

Now the establishment of the Imperial Historical Observatory is larger, and the power is more secure, but Ma Riyan has more things to do.

Because of his special confrontation with officials, Ma Riyan's reputation has not been better for a long time.

But he doesn't care, now that the emperor is Liu Bei, his safety has been guaranteed, and others can say whatever they like, whether they are "goshawks" or "cool officials", as long as Liu Bei is satisfied, everything is said.

The only person who can decide his fate is Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei is not like Emperor Guangwu who will give up Dong Xuan, Liu Bei has always loved his own people, and is willing to take the blame for his own people, take care of his subordinates, and do things for him, and his safety is guaranteed.

Therefore, Ma Riyan was full of firepower, and the young imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory ran wildly, spraying everywhere, and when they saw things that did not conform to the regulations, they scolded the local governors, and many local governors lost face and were embarrassed, and there was nothing they could do.

At present, Ma Riyan is promoting the construction of the local Yushitai branch, and some subordinates are eyeing the illegal acts of several county officials in Ha Dong County and Hanoi County, and are preparing to start impeachment.

Ma Riyan also plans to follow up further to see what the situation is because those people are from Liangzhou Prefecture.

When he was about to leave for Hedong County, Liu Bei sent someone to look for him, he was a little strange, but he still passed over immediately.

Soon, he saw Liu Bei in Liu Bei's study, which made him feel a little strange.

Before, because Liu Bei was busy with official business, he saw people in the side hall of Chongde Hall where he was doing things, and rarely met people in his study, could it be that he wanted to talk about some important topics?

"Ma Gong, I called you over this time, I want to discuss something with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Ma Riyan began to play the drum in his heart, and always felt that Liu Bei was going to say something very unserious.

Then he realized that this matter was not a question of whether it was serious or not, but that kind of ...... The feeling that makes you feel like you're going into cardiopulmonary arrest.

Liu Bei said a word.

"I don't think there's any need for the Valves family to continue to exist, don't you think?"

Ma Riyan almost died on the spot when he heard this, and thought that Liu Bei knew what Ma had done, so he wanted to kill Ma.

"Your Majesty! Although the Ma family is more luxurious in life, not as simple as His Majesty, the Ma family really did not commit a crime! The ministers strictly restrained the Ma clan and forbade them to break any laws! Ma has never violated the law, Your Majesty! ”

As Ma Riyan spoke, the whole person knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and ...... to Liu Bei in this most humble way. Beg?

Liu Bei looked stupid directly across from him.

"Ma Gong, you ...... I didn't say that Mars broke the law. ”

"Huh?"

Ma Riyan raised his head in surprise and looked at Liu Bei with a shocked expression.

Liu Bei smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ma Gong, I mean, the three of us who are left had better remove the identity of the Valle Reading family together, and completely return the Confucian classics to the imperial court, and stop doing any more family traditions, family studies, protégés and disciples." ”

It didn't mean to kill me.

That's fine...... What a fart!

This......

Don't want to read the family?

Is there any difference between this and asking for my life?

Ma Riyan immediately thought that one of the reasons why he was able to ensure his safety in such a dangerous situation was the identity of the head of the Valuing family, because of this identity, many people did not dare to target him, but if he did not have this identity......

Isn't he the only one left who can shelter him?

What is Liu Bei going to do?

"Your Majesty, this ...... Why is that? ”

Liu Bei walked up to Ma Riyan, helped him up, sat down with him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ma Gong, don't worry, let's talk slowly, let's sort out the matter of the valve reading family first, we all know that the valve reading family did not have it at the beginning, and Emperor Xiaozhang only had such a thing after that, and the root cause is that the Son of Heaven is young and can't hold on to power.

Emperor Xiaozhang wants to let the Holy Son of Heaven control both political power and academic power, which is very good, but this is very demanding for the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven himself fails to meet this requirement, this fiery power will naturally not be able to hold it.

We all know what happened later, the first emperors of the past dynasties could not live long, or even become adults, so for more than 100 years, the imperial court only cared about fighting for power and profit, and the eunuchs and relatives came to power one after another, fighting for power to fight for life and death, this carelessness ignored academics.

The imperial court doesn't care about academics, naturally only private individuals can manage it, in this way, what the classic articles say, only those great sect masters can have the final say, the Son of Heaven is changed from generation to generation, year after year, the family that masters the academic family has gradually formed a protégé and old officials all over the world, do you say this process is right? ”

Ma Riyan swallowed.

"Your Majesty is right."

"So, this power was originally owned by the imperial court, but the Son of Heaven could not grasp it in the past dynasties, so it was mastered by the Valve-Reading family, and the Valve-reading family also achieved the cause of the Valve-reading family.

The national academic is not controlled by the imperial court, not by the Taixue, but by the various families, what the sages said, the Son of Heaven said it doesn't count, Taixue doesn't count, you have to say it to these families, Ma Gong, don't you think there's something wrong here? ”

Liu Bei said step by step: "A country's academics, no matter how you say it, you can't let a limited number of families have the final say, right?" They have the final say, so is this world the world of the Liu family, or the world of the Yuan family, the Yang family, and the Xun family? You're right? ”

"Your Majesty's words...... All to ......"

Ma Riyan couldn't figure out Liu Bei's thoughts, so he could only turn into a repeater and repeat his previous answer.

"That's why I said the Valua family should cease to exist, right?"

"Your Majesty's words, all ...... ...... to the

Ma Riyan raised his head and looked at Liu Bei in surprise.

With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Bei stared directly at Ma Riyan.

"What Ma Gong said is very much in line with my wishes."

"Uh...... Your Majesty...... This ......"

"What, does Ma Gong think what I said is wrong?"

"No...... That's not what the minister meant, but ......"

"Isn't that enough?"

Liu Bei put away his smile, stood up, walked back to his seat, and then sat down with a serious face.

"Ma Gong, the academic and national academics that a national scholar learns, he can't be limited to one family and one surname, he must be open, he can't be too restricted, and he can easily make one, two, or three authorities, which will only suffocate academics, die, and then be abandoned.

If it is the truth, then there is no need to worry about what the problem is, the truth is always more and more clear, and the more you argue, the more people can believe in the truth, believe in the truth, and respect the truth. ”

Ma Riyan opened his mouth, not knowing how to express his complicated emotions.

He felt that what Liu Bei said made sense, but he always felt that this kind of thing should not be said by people like Liu Bei.

He is the emperor and the Son of Heaven, shouldn't he think about how to determine, stabilize, and even condemn a thought?

If you are arguing and arguing, what problems do you really want to argue, and nothing can happen?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, your old man is a famous debater, but your old man will always pass on the throne, can your old man's son also inherit your ability and become a new generation of debater?

Ma Riyan really doesn't understand it now.

But he felt that he needed to remind Liu Bei of this point.

"Your Majesty, you ...... It is true that all the ministers you said are true that the truth of the saints is not afraid of being questioned, but they are afraid that some people, such as Shao Zhengmao, will seriously injure the saints with false reasoning and heresy, shake people's hearts, and even demagogue.

Just like the Taiping Road before, it was also a group of thieves who used false reasoning and heresy to deceive people's minds, thus setting off a large-scale rebellion, and the last Yellow Turban Army was only wiped out a few months ago, so Your Majesty must know that there are still many stupid people in the world, and there are few saints. ”

Liu Bei nodded.

Of course, this is the case, and of course it is impossible for fallacies to be accepted, and we need to distinguish this, but we can't make people even have the possibility of speaking because there may be fallacies, right? The more people there are, the fewer people can talk, and I don't like this situation because of choking. ”

Ma Riyan pursed his lips.

"However, your family, the Liu family of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, they ......"

"As long as I speak, they don't dare to be disobedient, all this is what I brought to them, then I can naturally take it back, and they will not have anyone who opposes it."

"Nalu ......"

"I'll talk to the teacher personally."

Liu Bei stared at Ma Riyan: "Ma Gong, you are the elder I admire, for the long-term plan of the country, it should be the right choice to give up the portal private plan, I believe that you are not the kind of person who cares about the portal private plan, right?" ”

"I ......"

Ma Riyan suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.

Liu Bei's way of presetting answers, he really didn't know how to answer, as if there was no other correct answer other than the specified answer.

He really wanted to say that he was not so selfless, he wanted to say that he still cared about the family, and he really wanted the family to develop steadily.

If it was the former Han Tianzi, he might have a choice, but in the face of a Han Tianzi like Liu Bei, he really didn't know what choice he had.

Under Liu Bei's gaze, Ma Riyan confessed.

"If that's what you're looking for, then Mars ...... We will definitely live up to your expectations. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "Since this is the case, then Ma Gong's position as a royal historian will also be solid, stable as Mount Tai, Ma Gong, despite Shi Wei, your backer is me, and I am the son of today, if you don't want to go against the Son of Heaven for a long time, you can let him know what the Son of Heaven is angry and has millions of floating corpses!" ”

Ma Riyan swallowed his saliva again, took a deep breath, and saluted Liu Bei respectfully.

"Minister, obey!"

After leaving Liu Bei's study, Ma Riyan walked a few steps quickly, and it can even be said that he trotted all the way out of the palace, and when there was no one around, he breathed a few sighs of relief and soothed his little heart that was too frightened.

I don't know why, he always feels that Liu Bei's sense of deterrence is getting stronger and stronger.

If being an emperor can make people's sense of deterrence so strong, then when facing Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling before, Ma Riyan did not have this feeling that he did not dare to raise any objections.

Now, in the face of this former junior, a former humble gentleman, Ma Riyan can't even say a sentence of what he wants to say.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The status of the valve reading family that the Ma family finally got was only a few years old, and it was gone.

Ma Riyan was a little frustrated.

But I have to say that the Valle Reading family is really good, but if you offend Liu Bei for this, the Ma family will be finished.

Liu Bei talked and laughed, the Zheng family and the Jia family were wiped out and physically removed, the family forces of the Zheng family and the Jia family, none of them were weaker than the Ma family, but in front of Liu Bei, there was no strength to struggle.

If Ma offends Liu Bei, the end must be miserable, but if he obeys Liu Bei, Liu Bei will definitely compensate.

This compensation is to arbitrarily toss the power of corrupt officials in the position of the imperial doctor......

Although it is refreshing, it should not be a good thing for a family that still wants to continue to mix in the officialdom.

Ma Riyan sighed.

There is no choice, he has no choice, or that it starts at this moment, and every moment after that, except for Liu Bei, everyone has no choice.

An unprecedentedly powerful emperor has appeared, and he, who has helped him a lot in his upbringing, has he really done the right thing?

Forget it, none of this makes sense anymore.

Because Liu Bei is obviously not a normal person.

He doesn't even care about his own family, he doesn't even want the glory of his own family, so what else is there to say?

It is extremely likely that Lu Zhi promised him, not to mention his own family, if the only three Valve-reading families in the world give up the right to inherit the classics and return them to the imperial court, the Valve-Reading family will really not exist from now on.

Thinking about it now, Ma Riyan still feels like a world away.

How long has it been?

About more than ten years ago, the world is still a bunch of existence of the valve reading family, the inheritance of family learning is extremely huge, the terrifying five classics and fourteen family laws of the literary school, as many as dozens of valve reading families are rampant in the world, the family is prosperous, and the literary school seems to have entered the peak.

They can do whatever they want, and the channels for the rise of officials in the world are under their control, and the eunuchs cannot shake their strong foundation even if they grit their teeth.

No matter how much the party is strong, no matter how much they kill, their position is still solid.

But how long has it been, more than ten years of hard work, and those indispensable protégés and former officials all over the world have been destroyed one after another.

Up to now, there are only the last three Valves families left in the entire world.

The others are all gone, and the reason why there is no one is because they were killed by Liu Bei.

This Liu Bei can be called a killer!

Ma Riyan shook his head again and again.

Thinking like this, walking like this, walking and walking, he suddenly stopped.
