Chapter 14: Stained Light

Qian Zhou took a deep breath, held the thick book in his hand, and walked towards the Taiji Hall with his head down.

The good news is that he was finally reused by the emperor and became a great scholar for the imperial service.

On weekdays, he followed the emperor's side, helped the emperor solve the confusion of the classics, helped the emperor to control the interpretation of the classics, and carried forward the knowledge of the late prince.

The bad news is that the emperor is asking more and more, and the direction of this rule is a bit off.

When he reached the door, he saw the familiar man again.

Cheng Ji looked at him very rudely, and didn't have a good face for him.

Although the emperor treated them equally, the Shu and Wu who surrendered were discriminated against by the Wei everywhere.

Even if it is two fierce people who are fighting, when they encounter the Shu people or the Wu people, they will instantly stand together.

It has been a long time since he came to Luoyang, but he was not accepted by any celebrity, even if he took the initiative to visit, people were also business-like, so as not to say that the door was not allowed to enter, but there would be no follow-up when he went out.

Even celebrities like Qian Zhou were like this, and the treatment of the rest of the officials was obvious.

At this time, Qian Zhou felt a little guilty in his heart.

He was the one who called on everyone to surrender, but what if they didn't?

Is it more heroic to die?

Qian Zhou sighed, but still said: "I came by order of His Majesty, and I hope the general will give a message." ”

Cheng Ji nodded, turned around and walked in.

Soon, Qian Zhou came to the East Hall.

Cao Chao is reading at the moment.

Cao Chao is a self-disciplined and somewhat scary person.

After so many years on the throne, he has never changed his habits.

I'm exercising on time every day, and I'm reading books on time every day.

Cao Chao likes to read all kinds of books, is never a picky eater, and even the articles and poems that he has just written at the moment, he will have people bring them to show him.

He doesn't have a lot of time left for himself every day, and when he sees his appearance, even Cheng Ji feels: King Xian probably wants to do this.

Qian Zhou didn't dare to disturb Cao Chao, so he maintained a saluting posture.

Cao Chao read for a while, probably after reading a page, before raising his head, "Gong Chen, you have arrived half an hour early." ”

Chen Zhou was stunned, "The minister will wait outside the door"

"Hahaha, no need, sit down."

Cao Chao put down the book in his hand.

Qian Zhou is Cao Chao's current royal celebrity, helping him formulate his thoughts.

At the beginning, there were so many famous people to choose from in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he could choose one that he admired the most, defined it as official learning, and then let everyone in the world learn it.

But Cao Chao doesn't have so many reference candidates now.

It's not that there are no celebrities under Cao Chao's command, but those are all fake celebrities.

It's okay for you to let them go to eat and drink, but if you want to make their knowledge an official study, then Dawei will die!

After Wang Su left, he couldn't even find the person who connected him in China.

Cao Chao smiled and looked at the books that Qian Zhou brought.

"Gong Chen has already finished??"

Qian Zhou hurriedly shook his head, "No, Your Majesty, Wang Xue is the work of the prince's painstaking work, how can it be so easy to study it clearly." ”

Cao Chao suddenly realized, and decided to talk to Chen Zhou about the classics again.

Now the status of Wang Xue has been preliminarily determined, and Wang Jing's doctrine has become the consensus of the temple, and it has been determined by Cao Chao as a new official school, whether it is Taixue or in local schools, what is to be taught is the Wang Xue version.

This is not to say that the essence of the teaching has changed, they still learn the Five Classics, but these Five Classics have become the Five Classics annotated by Wang Su, that is, Wang Su's version.

Different people's interpretations can often make the classics present different meanings.

Wang Su's interpretation of this version is the most in line with Cao Chao's requirements.

But it can't be said that it is completely compliant, because Cao Chao still needs something new.

Cao Chao told his needs to Qian Zhou.

First of all, what Cao Chao needs is anti-himself, he wants to be anti-destiny.

When Cao Chao talked about it, Qian Zhou was sweating, and he didn't understand why Cao Chao couldn't get along with him.

Cao Chao wants to break the many dross formed since the Later Han Dynasty, what divination, what signs.

This matter originally started from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and if there was any major event in the world, there would definitely be a conscription first, and then it would reach the peak during the Liu Xiu period, and then it would not come down.

This is an important reason for the flourishing of metaphysics.

Now everybody believes in this set of things.

Cao Chao was very disgusted by this.

Wherever a disaster occurs, it is said that the policy of the temple is wrong, and the employment of people is wrong, so you have to deal with a minister, and you have to ask the heavens for what you want to do.

Why are you people still living more and more?

The set of Xunzi that Cao Chao believes.

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death."

The laws of nature have nothing to do with your governance of government affairs! Don't tell every day when the cultivated land will be harvested! Don't spend all day studying where the phoenix comes out of the yellow dragon!

If you want to make the land fertile, let me go and open a water conservancy!

If you want the world to be peaceful, you have to learn to be honest and fair!!

If something happens, blame God, never find the reason in their own bodies, celebrities and celebrities are superstitious and do not do their jobs.

Everybody is a god.

If the scholars are all thinking like this, then wouldn't the Great Wei be abolished?

Cao Chao said his opinion very unhappily.

But Qian Zhou's face was very ugly.

Your Majesty's idea is too dangerous, this is to destroy the foundation of Confucianism!

Since the time of Dong Zhongshu, the induction of heaven and man has become an important basis for Confucian governance, and it reached its peak in the Later Han Dynasty.

Today's official study of the Five Classics, poems, books, rites, Yi, Spring and Autumn.

Under the interpretation of later generations, they are basically going in the direction of heaven and man.

Even the rest of the factions acquiesced to this argument.

And now if he wants to overthrow it, Qian Zhou doesn't know how much of a sensation and impact this will cause.

Looking at Qian Zhou's hesitant appearance, Cao Chao smiled, "Gong Chen, why are you worried? This is not my compilation, this is Xunzi's words."

At this time, Qian Zhou had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to help, it's just that Your Majesty doesn't know something"

Qian Zhou mustered up his courage, "The minister is in Luoyang, and he is despised, not only the minister, but also the ministers who originally came to Luoyang from Shudi, and most of them are like this, colleagues are not willing to deal with us, every time I go to Taixue and discuss the classics with people, they have a look of slackness in their eyes." ”

"What Your Majesty is going to do now will cause great controversy, and will make many people oppose it, and the minister will be alone."

"You're not alone."

Cao Chao smiled and said, "You still have very strong allies. ”

Qian Zhou suddenly didn't dare to speak.

He felt that there was a great probability that His Majesty's ally was referring to himself, but where did Qian Zhou dare to recognize His Majesty as his ally, it was almost the same as relying on it.

Cao Chao could see his inner thoughts at a glance.

"Maoxian!"

Cao Chao shouted.

Zhang Hua immediately walked in.

Although he was suspended in Shangshutai, he did not get off the free ride, so Zhang Hua could still accompany the emperor from time to time.

In fact, for an official of the ministry, there is no problem in staying by the emperor's side often.

After all, the final drafting power lies with the emperor, which just saves a process.

Qian Zhou looked at the excellent young man in front of him.

Zhang Hua is very powerful, but he is still too young, at least in the classics, it is impossible to help himself too much.

Who knows, Cao Chao just ordered: "Go and bring people in." ”

He was stunned, it turned out that his ally was not him.

A moment later, a person followed Zhang Hua in.

Qian Zhou felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, but he couldn't recognize his identity.

After all, many ministers in Luoyang have never had much contact with Qian Zhou, they have only met once, and it is difficult to remember who is who.

Xun Yi appeared in the East Hall with a straight face, and saw Qian Zhou on the side, and his eyes were a little unhappy.

Everyone was very dissatisfied with this matter of stealing Wang Su's position.

For the great clan, the classics are undoubtedly the most important, and in such an important matter, His Majesty actually believes in an outsider.

But out of his good upbringing, Xun Yi still saluted with Qian Zhou.

Since Xun Yi was driven out of Shangshutai by Cao Chao, he has been hung up with honorary titles, and he has jumped back and forth among the nine qing, but he has no real power.

Today, the emperor suddenly summoned him, and he didn't know why.

Cao Chao pointed at Xun Yi and said to Qian Zhou: "This is the great Si Nong Xun Gong." ”

"Qing should know."

"I've admired the name for a long time, I've admired it for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity to make friends."

Qian Zhou said.

Xun Yi had a straight face, tilted his head slightly, and his appearance was extraordinary, "I have also heard of the sage of the land of Shu, but I was an enemy in the past and couldn't make friends." ”

Cao Chao heard the smell of gunpowder in their words, and he said to Xun Yi with a smile: "That's the case, Xun Gong, I asked Gong Qian about the scriptures, and then asked about the current official school. ”

"Gong Gong believes that there is no academic classic in the world that can compare to "Xunzi".

"He even suggested that I include Xunzi in Taixue, so that all students can study it as part of the assessment."

"I don't know what happens to Xun Gong's will?"

Xun Yi trembled and looked at Qian Zhou in disbelief.

Yes??

What is it??

Although they are the direct descendants of Xunzi, they don't even learn this, and there are many classics in the Xun family today, like Xun Yi's inheritance is "Fei Shi Yi".

Why did you suddenly say that you should pay attention to our own things?

Xun Yi frowned, looked at Qian Zhou in front of him in disbelief, and then, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your respect."

Don't care if the Xun family can't govern Xunzi now, as long as the emperor attaches importance to "Xunzi", it will be no harm to their family at all, they are direct descendants, if the emperor is willing to define Xunzi as an official school today, then Xun Yi will give up learning Xunzi tomorrow!

Maybe you can still get a touch of the light of the ancestors!
