The scholars took separate actions and made a secret visit to Shuofang County under Yang Chuan's rule, and they were already determined to kill Yang Chuan, the county guard.

In order to ensure that the blow was fatal, they also wrote separate letters, asking Chang'an City and their respective families to send a group of talents who were proficient in local governance to Shuofang County to help them investigate deeply.

Dong Zhongshu and his one hundred and ten disciples quietly entered the school and became the first batch of 'official teachers' in Shuofang County School.

Regarding the actions of other readers, Dong Zhongshu just smiled and warned his students not to get involved, not to have evil thoughts, to be a man of their duty, and to teach honestly.

In his words, instead of fighting with bloody heads and life and death, it is better to take 10,000 steps back, reach a tacit understanding with a young man like Yang Chuan, and do something practical for others in obscurity......

I have to say that Dong Zhongshu's retreat was really a little surprising to Yang Chuan.

At the same time, he was also vigilant.

Who Dong Zhongshu is, he knows too well, in order to achieve the goal of 'deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', it can be said that he has already done whatever it takes, and he will do everything he can, if you take this old thief lightly, thinking that he is helping you, it is estimated that he will suffer a big loss.

Yang Chuan ignored the impeachment of other scholars.

If you want impeachment, let it be impeached.

If you want to make a fuss, let them make a fuss first, wait until the spring sowing is over, and the task of the first stage of Tuntian is completed, see how Lao Tzu cleans up your group of readers!

However, for Dong Zhongshu, he was in a twelve-point spirit, always paying attention to the old thief's every move......

……

"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? Zi said: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing." ”

"In the Analects, what do these words of Sage Confucius mean?"

"The meaning of the sage is that this learning must be unremitting and persevering, and the joy of reading will slowly appear, making you feel an unprecedented happiness, as the so-called reading a book thousands of times, its meaning is self-seeing, almost this is the meaning."

"What a joy it would be to have friends from afar, and to have friends of great learning and good character from afar......

On this day, Dong Zhongshu was telling a group of children in Shuofang County the 'Analects', naturally spitting out golden lotus and witty words, and even Yang Chuan, who was standing outside the door to 'listen', was also quite emotional.

Look at it, the mastery of the past is easy to understand, even I, a big Han cook, can understand it, and I can understand it clearly, just listening to it like this, I can be beneficial.

It's a pity that these scholars in later generations are notes, solutions, and schools, and some big readers still give a lecture at every turn, and make a good study unrecognizable, obscure, and damn it!

Yang Chuan is a cook, he has never read any books, so he naturally does not understand the subtlety and righteousness of the saint, and what he thinks is, of course, very vulgar.

He squatted on the steps in front of the school, holding a green-skinned gourd in his hand, and took a sip of wine from time to time, looking very idle and tranquil.

"Teacher, what you're saying is not right."

Suddenly, a child raised his hand and said, "We have heard the Lord Taishou of the county say, learn and learn, not to say, to have friends from afar, not to be happy, not to know but not to be ashamed, not to be gentlemen...... The meaning of these words is that learning is good, and learning makes me happy; I am also happy to have a friend from afar, because that friend is you; You don't know my mind, and I'm not angry, because you don't know my heart......"

In the school, there was silence.

Dong Zhongshu coughed lightly a few times, and said indifferently: "This, your county Taishou's words are naturally right, but this reading, everyone's identity, status and mood are different, and they will read their own different meanings, which is also a very good thing." ”

"Next, let's continue to study the Analects."

"Zi said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is knowing, what does this sentence mean, that is, you know if you know, you don't know, you don't know, admit that your eye sockets are shallow, and your knowledge is not deep enough, which is not only not a shameful thing, but a manifestation of wisdom......"

At this time, another child said, "Teacher, you speak very well, but our county keeper speaks better." ”

Dong Zhongshu asked with a smile: "What did you county guards say?" ”

The child said loudly: "Our county Taishou has said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is knowing, these words mean to say, this person, know know, don't know, don't know, don't pretend, pretend too much, sooner or later will be struck by lightning!" ”

Dong Zhongshu: "...... Well, it's really thoughtful, simple and clear, simple to understand, tsk, not bad. ”

When he said these few dry 'words of praise', those children became active, and they raised their hands one by one to speak, which was nothing more than saying some sporadic 'quotations from the county guard'.

And then.

Dong Zhongshu's breath was a little unstable.

A face turned black into the bottom of the pot, and the green tendons on his forehead began to beat wildly......

"The county Taishou said that it is okay to die at night when you hear about it, and this sentence means that when you hear about the road to the enemy in the morning, you must find the door and kill him at night!"

"The county Taishou said that a gentleman is not a weapon, this sentence means that a real gentleman does not disdain to kill people with weapons at all!"

"The county keeper said that if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand...... If you don't learn the etiquette to respect me, I'll beat you until you can't stand! ”

"The county keeper said that the initiator has no aftermath...... The initiator of this incident has already been beaten by me......"

“……”

Listen to it, or is it still human?

This Yang Chuan, is he really unlearned? In the world, how can there be such a misinterpretation of the saint's subtle words? It's just ...... Well, it's pretty chic!

In the school, Dong Zhongshu forcibly swallowed a mouthful of old blood, with an old face black, he didn't know what to do, so he simply waved his hand and said indifferently: "Okay, self-study today." ”

Similarly, Yang Chuan, who was squatting on the steps at the entrance of the school to drink and bask in the sun, was also confused: "Wocao, why did these jokes that Ben Hou once said come out?" ’

"Moreover, it seems to have become a system, and it has a bit of a county guard......

Thinking about it, he really couldn't understand the joints.

By the way, is it Liu Man? It doesn't seem right, at that time, when he said these jokes, there were only a few people present, Zhiniang would definitely not be so nonsense, Naren Tuoya didn't have this brain, Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang could only laugh, and they couldn't do this kind of meticulous work.

By the way, there were also Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo present at that time......

Well, the case solved.

It must have been a good thing done by that old boy in Dongfang Shuo!

This guy, it's not light or heavy to joke, the words of the sage, can you just use it to make fun of it? Even if Yang Chuan doesn't have a good impression of Confucianism, the first sage is the first sage, and it doesn't have much to do with the so-called Confucian scholars.

He can imagine that once this matter spreads, I am afraid that those scholars in the world will scold him Yang Chuan to death......

Yang Chuan stood up and was about to go back and ask Dongfang Shuo.

At this moment, Dong Zhongshu walked out of the gate of the school, and saw Yang Chuan walking out with his waist bent, the old thief was slightly stunned, and then his face was overjoyed: "Hey, Changninghou, don't go!" ”

Yang Chuan didn't say anything, pretending not to hear or see anything, and strode towards the door.

Dong Zhongshu laughed, and he didn't know what was going on, and appeared in front of Yang Chuan in a blink of an eye, with a big black face: "Changning Hou, don't you invite the old man to take a drink?" ”

Yang Chuan's face stiffened, and he casually threw the green skin gourd in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou has been busy with official business recently, and he returned from inspecting Tuntian just now, and he unknowingly took the wrong road, how did he break into the school?"

Hahaha, Dong Gong, you go on, you go on. ”

As he spoke, he was about to slip away, but Dong Zhongshu grabbed his arm.

The strength of this old thief is so great, one hand is like a vice, Yang Chuan tried to struggle several times, but he didn't move, so he had to give up.

He smiled and said, "Gong Dong, when did you come to Shuofang County?" Oh, why don't you say hello when you come, Ben Hou can also set up a banquet to wash the dust for Dong Gong. ”

Dong Zhongshu laughed and said: "Some time ago, the old man received a letter from Sima Qian, saying that you Changning Hou wanted to set up a school in Shuofang County, and there was a lack of a group of excellent scholars to be teachers......

One old and one young, two people, just such face-to-face nonsense, as if they were 'complaining to each other', if Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo and others saw it, they didn't know what to think in their hearts.

However, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Yang Chuan, who is well versed in this, naturally knows that Dong Zhongshu almost has the same mind as him, anyway, he just keeps his eyes open and talks nonsense for a while, and finds a step for each other.

Finally, the greeting between the two ended.

Dong Zhongshu's eyes flashed, and he went straight to the point: "Yang Chuan, do the old man a favor and print a few books, how about it?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded: "Yes, ten taels of gold for a book." ”

Dong Zhongshu sighed and said quietly: "Yang Chuan, don't you know what the old man's situation is now? In order to build the seven attics in Tai Academy, the old man even put his own coffin book in it. ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "You have many disciples, go and deceive some." ”

Dong Zhongshu smiled bitterly, groaned a few times, and suddenly said: "In this way, you help the old man print some books, and the old man helps you get rid of the other bullshit readers?" I'm afraid you don't know that these people have recently been secretly visiting the ground in your Shuofang County, saying that they want to seize you by the handle and impeach you together. ”

Yang Chuan laughed and waved his hand: "Impeachment is impeachment, anyway, this Shuofang County is too hard, Lao Tzu took advantage of the situation to get out of the sea of suffering, and returned to my Yang fiefdom to enjoy the blessings." ”

Dong Zhongshu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Chuan waving his hand: "Okay, Dong Gong, you and your disciples are teachers in my Shuofang County, in addition to the Yulu given to you by the imperial court, I Shuofang County will add another one, about six hundred stones per person per year." ”

As he spoke, Yang Chuan struggled to run away again.

Dong Zhongshu finally caught Yang Chuan, how could he let him leave easily, so he simply hugged Yang Chuan, and said with a smile: "You guy, once you slip away, it will not be easy to find you again." ”

"Yang Chuan, the two of us can work together."

"In the school just now, several children said that you, the county guard, explained the Analects, and I have to say that it is quite a novelty, which is eye-opening, and even the old man listened to it and admired it very much, so he didn't spread it outside......

And this is where the extortion begins?

Yang Chuan is a little strange, he is wrong is wrong, he will not hesitate to bear it, it's just a big deal to be laughed at and cursed by the world's scholars for decades.

However, if you, Dong Zhongshu, threaten this matter, it will be another matter.

"Dong Gong, please respect yourself."

Yang Chuan's face gradually turned cold, glanced at the big hand that grabbed his arm, and said: "Ben Hou Gui is the Marquis of Guannei, the official residence of Shuofang County Taishou, and concurrently serves as the Tai Academy Sacrificial Wine, the Great Agricultural Order Youcheng, and the Yulin Army Sima, no matter what, it can be regarded as your Dong Gong's boss, what do you want to do with this Hou like this?" ”

Dong Zhongshu was stunned for a moment and let go of his hand.

Yang Chuan suddenly turned his face, which made the old thief a little uncomfortable.

He coughed lightly and arched his hand: "Dong Zhongshu, a doctor from Tai Academy, has seen Changning Hou. ”

Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Dong Zhongshu, how do you feel after listening to Benhou's interpretation of the Analects?" ”

Dong Zhongshu thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's quite innovative." ”

Yang Chuan let out an 'oh' and said casually: "Benhou has a little leisure today, and at dinner, you can come to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet." ”

When he finished speaking, he walked away......

……

Back at Taishou Mansion, Yang Chuan immediately summoned Dongfang Shuo and asked, "Mr. Dongfang, do you know about the drama and commentary that has been circulated in the school?" ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and said: "I listened to it interestingly, so I recorded it casually, and when I was lecturing to the children, I couldn't help but say it;

What's wrong? ”

Yang Chuan was slandered in his heart, and there was something 'wrong', in the current Han Empire, if you joke about the words of a saint like this, you will be beaten to death, scolded to death!

This Dongfang Shuo, no light or heavy, no wonder he is so old, he still can't be an official, it's just ......

However, after all, this disaster is because he has no mouth to hide, and he drank a few more bowls of wine, and on a whim, he opened his mouth, and if he wants to say that he is the initiator, it is still him Yang Chuan after all.

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and said indifferently: "In the future, if you are involved in this matter, you can pretend not to know, and Ben Hou will deal with the rest of the matter." ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Chuan's face was not very good, and quickly reacted that he should have fallen into a big disaster.

He bowed down and said: "It is I Dongfang Shuo who arranges and jokes about the words of the sage, what does it have to do with you, Yang Chuan, Marquis of Changning?" Don't worry, I, Dongfang Shuo, will bear it with all my might. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and scolded with a smile: "You bear it?" You bear a fart, an official with a big sesame seed, and you don't have a deep background, once you tear it up, you Dongfang Shuo's dozens of pounds of small body, even hairy and boneless, is not enough for those who read to stuff their teeth.

You can rest assured, Benhou has his own opinions. ”
