Official learning, as the name suggests, is an officially recognized doctrine.

At the beginning, the dispute between ancient and modern literature for the sake of official learning almost shook the national capital of the Later Han Dynasty.

This classic is the foundation of the great clans, and it is a tool for their academic monopoly, and it is obviously not easy to touch until they have mastered the power.

But now, Cao Chao really doesn't worry about what will happen to these big clans.

The battle to destroy Shu raised Cao Chao's status to a very terrifying point, even if Emperor Liezu came out of the soil, he had to stand aside!

Cao Chao originally only got the support of the soldiers, but now, with the lease of public land, the tenants of the original Great Wei are also grateful to Cao Chao, and with the support of farmers and soldiers, Cao Chao can go sideways.

Cao Chao summoned the brothers from the bamboo forest to come to the East Hall.

Now, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest have been dismantled by Cao Chao, and Wang Rong was arrested for taking bribes and buying a large amount of land without permission, and he must serve at least until he is fifty years old.

Shan Tao and Xiang Xiu went ashore directly, officially defected to Cao Chao, and became officials of the Great Wei.

Both of them are now serving in Shangshutai.

Ji Kang is also half-ashore, he is now studying Wang Xue, trying to find something from it that can cure the first half of his life, only Ruan Ji and his nephew and Liu Ling are still drinking.

Soon, these people appeared in front of Cao Chao.

They probably hadn't been together for a long time.

When they reappeared in the same place, they didn't seem as close as they used to be.

The people sat on his right and left.

After they bowed and met, Cao Chao asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you still okay?" ”

"The ministers are fine."

The crowd replied.

Cao Chao was very emotional in his heart, he still remembered that at the beginning, he was also sitting with these people, and he was cautious at that time, he was afraid of offending them, and he just wanted to get their help.

But now, the big thing has been accomplished, and his relationship with these people has become delicate.

Cao Chao did not have any ill will towards them, but their doctrines and propositions were something that Cao Chao had to oppose.

If all the talented people in the world follow their example, drink wine all day long, and run into the mountains and forests, then what is the cost?

Until now, Wang Xue has begun to spread, but the influence of these people is still huge.

When Wang Rong was disposed of before, the students could no longer sit still, and many scholars are still dissatisfied with the verdict, believing that it is tyranny.

Cao Chao looked at Ji Kang first.

"Gong Ji, I heard that you have been studying Wang Xue hard these days, but you have gained something?"

Ji Kang is still a little different from the others, he recognizes the hermit because he is powerless against reality, and he does not really agree that going to the mountains to live in seclusion can solve all problems.

When Wang Su re-annotated metaphysics, Ji Kang's thinking changed rapidly.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Ji Kang immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, in these days, the minister has made a lot of gains, and he already has a general understanding of the prince's doctrine, and he is still studying hard."

Ji Kang then spoke of his thoughts.

"Taixuan Jiuzan, in the past, we just thought that this was the true meaning of nature, and it was useless for reality, but after the prince ordered it, I woke up to the fact that Jiuzan is not just about nature, but also about the world, which cannot be seen separately, Jiuzan tells about the laws of natural change, and seeing these laws clearly, it can be used to govern the country"

Ji Kang looked at a few friends and seriously expounded his thoughts.

Except for Xiang Xiu and Shantao, who nodded, the rest of the people were speechless.

Cao Chao was overjoyed at the moment, and he said happily: "I am going to take Wang Xue as an official school and recruit the corresponding doctors of economics, I think, this matter can be handed over to you to handle!" ”

There are usually two ways to set up official schools, the first is the assessment, and the subsequent assessment can only be participated in through Wang Xue, and the knowledge used for the assessment is naturally the official school, and there is also the temple Taichang and other academic institutions, mainly Wang Xue, recruiting doctors of economics.

Cao Chao is preparing to let Ji Kang take charge of the doctor of government and economics this time, and let him lead many talents who study the classics to study Wang Xue, and give up the study of other classics, so as to increase the influence of Wang Xue.

Ji Kang was a little stunned, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister still doesn't have such knowledge, so he can let Kong Chao"

Cao Chao shook his head, "Kong Chao has more important things to do, don't shirk it!" ”

"This matter belongs to you!"

After speaking, Cao Chao looked at Ruan Ji again.

Ji Kang is as irritable as fire, while Ruan Ji is as calm as water, the two are very similar but completely different.

Cao Chao asked, "Ruan Gong, have you ever read it?" ”

Ruan Ji said calmly: "I read it." ”

"What's the catch?"

"Lack of qualifications, no gains."

Cao Chao narrowed his eyes, "I see, it's probably not because of your lack of qualifications, it's because you don't mean to be here." ”

"In this way, starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of governing the scriptures with Gong Ji and governing the king."

Ruan Ji was still as calm as ever, "Only." ”

Ruan Ji is a real rotten talent, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't do anything, whatever the emperor says, and he doesn't oppose it much, which is different from Ji Kang, Ji Kang is bad for the sake of opposition, and Ruan Ji is a bit of a bad idea for the sake of being bad.

When Cao Chao needed him to help him at the beginning, he didn't contribute much, which was completely different from the positive Ji Kang.

This is also good for Cao Chao, it doesn't matter if I can convince you or not, as long as I can make you useful to me.

As for Liu Ling and Ruan Xian, Cao Chao didn't have any ideas.

First, their reputation is not as high as the rest, and second, their way of messing up is a bit excessive.

Therefore, Cao Chao just waved his hand and said: "I don't like your ideas very much, I want to rule the world, this kind of rule can not be done by hiding in the mountains and forests, I have heard that only when the emperor is mediocre and traitorous ministers are in power, the virtuous will hide in the mountains and forests, since neither of them has the idea of going out, it is probably that I think I am not wise enough I have always been generous and will not force you to persecute you." ”

"Since you want to go into seclusion, then the two of you can find a suitable place to go into seclusion, and in the future, just do your own thing, but don't gather friends, lecture around, and bewitch scholars."

"If you don't have the idea of ruling the world and serving the Holy King, then don't ruin the big things!"

Cao Chao frowned, his expression becoming more and more serious.

"At the beginning, the Sima family got power, making the people miserable, and the scholars were unwilling to go out, unwilling to act for the tiger, this is the practice of the sages, but now, I have swept away the traitors, and the temples are all loyal and righteous people, and hundreds of places are waiting to be revived, and I will destroy Shu and Wu, so that the barbarians from all over the world will come to the court, but in the past, these people still want to hide in the mountains and forests, which I really can't understand."

"It is said that everyone lives in seclusion, everyone avoids the world, does not associate with each other, and going with the flow can make the world rule."

"But if I want to say, Huang Lao's inaction is definitely not like this."

"At the beginning of the new establishment of the former Han Dynasty, the temple adopted Huang Laozhi's saying, inaction and governance, this inaction, is not much conscription, so that the people are relaxed, can not help but do, only then there was the prosperity of the former Han Dynasty, at that time there was no able minister to govern the world?"

"Is Xiao He and the others hiding in the mountains and forests to govern the country?"

"No matter how much you quarrel about the scriptures, you can't reach a conclusion, and even if you do, it's only because you're afraid of my power and bow your head."

"But the rise and fall of the world can be seen directly, and after I took the throne, how the society has changed, is obvious to all!"

Cao Chao's voice was loud, and everyone just looked at him, but they didn't dare to say much.

Cao Chao stood up and said coldly: "From today on, the temple will take Wang Xue as the official school, and only recruit those sages who have the heart to govern the world, as for those who want to return to the mountains and forests, I will prohibit their children, clansmen and close people from going out, so as not to corrupt the atmosphere!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Ling was shocked.

He finally couldn't help it, "Your Majesty!!" ”

"What is the difference between this behavior and the party's official duties?"

In the Later Han Dynasty, the emperor forbade the closeness of those party members and the clansmen to go out, setting off several party rebellions.

And Cao Chao's ban at the moment obviously has the same meaning.

Seeing the anxious Liu Ling, Cao Chao looked at him with a smile on his face, "There is no difference." ”

Liu Ling said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, he does not violate the law and has no intention of disrespecting His Majesty, this is the pursuit of nature, why do you need such a means as the party?" ”

Cao Chao said coldly: "The Holy King is out, there is no sage left behind in the wilderness, and now you all want to live in seclusion in the wilderness, isn't this saying that I am not a Holy King?" ”

"This is disrespectful to me, why can't I ban it?"

"Besides, you don't want to go out of office, you just want to hide in the mountains and forests, and you don't care about anything, so what's there to care about if you are banned from going out?"

"Isn't that the right path you seek? Wouldn't it be nice for your sons and tribesmen to go with you to this right path, and not to come out to harm others? ”

Liu Ling was speechless, he looked at Ji Kang anxiously.

Ji Kang didn't even look at him at the moment, as if he felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable.

Ruan Ji sighed and stood up, "Your Majesty, even so, there are still some punishments that are too much"

"Punishment is nothing more than that, this is the atmosphere of the Great Wei, it is something that will affect the future scholars and even the fortune of the country, if everyone only thinks about how to dodge, how not to do it, then how long can the Great Wei last?"

"The Xianbei and the Huns are both studying the scriptures of the Later Han Dynasty, thinking about how to be strong, while our scholars are thinking about how to dodge, are they preparing to give up the country to others?!"

"I didn't arrest these people and punish the clan, I am already very generous, the scholars of the Great Wei should be self-reliant, and since they have enjoyed the benefits, how can they not help?"

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

"And do it!!"
