At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 662

Xun You successfully became the second person on the staff platform, and his status and power were only below that of Xi Zhong.

Now Xun You has once again appeared in the public's field of vision.

On behalf of the Xun family in Yingchuan, he made a petition to the emperor, asking the emperor to take "Yan's Gongyang Chunqiu" as the orthodox "Spring and Autumn Classics" and dismiss the doctor of "Yan's Gongyang Chunqiu".

The Eastern Han Dynasty only established academic officials for the Yan School and the Yan School of Gongyang Chunqiu, but the "Chunqiu Guliang Biography" and "Chunqiu Zuoshi Biography" failed to establish academic officials. The theory of being an official.

The Guliang School has been in decline for a long time, and even needs the protection of the emperor himself so as not to cut off the inheritance.

The Zuo School has always maintained its vitality. During the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the Zuo School also launched a strong attack on the Gongyang School at the Baihuguan meeting, demanding to establish a doctor, but it failed in the end.

Therefore, if the Spring and Autumn School wants to fight a civil war, it is still a civil war between the two brothers schools of Yan's Gongyang and Yan's Gongyang.

Xun You's words on the table were very sharp.

He believes that the Yan School taught scholars with wrong different characters, so that many scholars learned the wrong doctrine without knowing the truth. This is really terrible and sinful for the disciples of the saints.

I don't know how many scholars have been harmed by these false studies, who have learned wrong ideas and concepts, and caused the doctrine of saints to be distorted and misunderstood.

Scholars who have learned these erroneous theories will govern the country according to erroneous ideas after becoming officials, and pass them on to future generations.

If things go on like this, the country will not be the country!

His Majesty!

Save the doctrine of saints!

After Yuan Si, Xun You stood up and uttered his strongest voice, and declared war on the Yan School on behalf of Yan's Gongyang Chunqiu-I want to depose your doctor!

There is no doubt that he did this because the emperor chose him, and the emperor first learned from Yan's Gongyang Chunqiu.

It seems that Xun You really wants to follow the emperor's wishes, and rely on the advantages of the family to develop the advantages to the end.

Xun You's voice was very abrupt, and he made such a declaration very suddenly, and then quickly spread throughout the court.

This family, which was once severely suppressed by the emperor because of Xun Yu, and was even thought to lose all political status, actually stood directly behind the emperor at this stall and shouted for the emperor. Depose the Ph.D. of the Yan School.

Xun You!Xun Gongda!

What are you thinking? !

Xun You's voice and standing in line made many scholars and officials dizzy.

But the emperor was very happy.

Guo Peng said that Xun You is upright and upright, and the whole court needs such a person who can tell the truth.

So he ordered to praise Xun You, and because Xun You made great contributions with him in the Northern Expedition, in addition to being promoted to Zuo Pushe, he was also granted the third-class Yingyin Marquis and six hundred households in Shiyi.

This is not finished.

After Xun You stood in line, Kong Zan, the younger brother of the late Baocheng Hou Kongwan and member of the Ministry of Rites, came up to the table.

On behalf of the Confucius family in Lu County, he asked the emperor to replace the three poems of Qi, Lu and Han in the modern text with the ancient "Mao Shi", make "Mao Shi" the orthodox "Poetry", and depose the three poems of Qi, Lu and Han.

He thought that none of the poems of the Qi, Lu and Han families were real "Poems", and that the "Mao Poems" with ancient rhymes were the real "Poems".

Lujun Kong, a descendant of Confucius, seems to be justified and extremely lethal to say such words.

Guo Peng was very happy to receive Kong Zan's letter, and thought that Kong Zan, the late Baocheng Hou Kong Wan's younger brother, deserved to be called "Confucius bloodline", "able to speak out", and should be "a model for all officials".

Then he immediately ordered Kong Zan to inherit the title of Kong Wan, and made him the orthodox Baochenghou. He believed that Confucius had made great contributions to the scholars of the world. So far, Confucianism still maintains a strong vitality, which is enough to prove that Confucius has the sage qualifications.

So he decided to honor Confucius as "Yan Shenggong" and add the honorary title "Most Sage Master", so that Kong Zan took over the title of Yan Shenggong, promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, inherited the blood and culture of Confucius, and continued to do things for the world. contribute.

Nine hundred households were added to Yanshenggong Shiyi, and one thousand households were previously sealed, and hereditary did not replace them.

No matter how you look at it, Guo Peng's set was negotiated in advance and sealed in a series, which almost choked the scholars and officials to death.

Putting effort into Confucius, these people who don't pay attention to Confucius but rely on Confucius' name for food have nothing to do.

you object?

Do you think Confucius is not worthy of being Yan Shenggong?

Or do you think Confucius is not worthy to be the most holy teacher?

This aboveboard bribery and benefit exchange happened right in front of our eyes, so that people had nothing to do about it.

This is not the end.

After Kong Zan, Jia Kui, a member of the Ministry of Industry, immediately went to the table, requesting that on behalf of the Jia family in Fufeng Pingling, please establish "Zhou Guanli" as the orthodox "Li", and dismiss the academic officials of the big and small Dai family.

He believed that "Zhou Guan Li" was written by the Duke of Zhou, and it was the most orthodox theory of Zhou rituals. The rest of the rituals were far-fetched and not worth mentioning. He also asked His Majesty the emperor to dismiss them all.

The member of the Ministry of Finance, Wai Lang Huan Dian, followed closely on the table, requesting His Majesty the Emperor to take "Ouyang Shangshu" as the orthodox "Shangshu" on behalf of the Longkanghuan family, and refuted the ancient text Shangshu and Xiahou Shangshu, thinking that they were all fake studies, and hoped that the emperor could Dethrone these false studies, with the words of righteous saints.

These two are officials who joined the Guowei Group after Guo Peng swept the world. They entered the Guowei regime following the tide of history and did not make any military contributions. They have been doing administrative work all the time, which can be considered diligent. Sincerely.

But one is from Guanzhong and the other is from Yuzhou, neither of which belongs to the current mainstream political group of the Wei Empire.

Although their status in the Eastern Han Empire was once prominent, after the reorganization of the power in the world, they belonged to the emerging power group that gradually emerged after the people from the Qing, Yan and Hebei provinces were suppressed.

Different from the academic atmosphere of the Western Han Dynasty who specialized in classics, families of Confucian classics in the Eastern Han Dynasty did not reject learning all kinds of family studies as long as they had the conditions.

Most of them agree that each branch should learn different family traditions and pass them on, thinking that this can expand the living space of the family.

The Jia family in Fufeng Pingling is such a family. The four branches of the family have learned four kinds of family law. It can be said that they are also working hard to survive.

But this time, they gave up other branches of family studies, and took out the branch of "Zhou Guanli" to participate in the competition, which seemed very decisive.

Compared with the Jia family, the Long Kanghuan family is more dedicated, specializing in "Ouyang Shangshu".

This is related to the background of the Long Kanghuan family who started as an emperor's teacher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty also learned a lot from "Ouyang Shangshu". Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Long Kanghuan's request to take "Ouyang Shangshu" as the orthodoxy, depose doctors established by several other family schools, and end their status as official schools seems to be reasonable.

The two stood up and cheered for the Yellow Dragon Palace meeting, stood in line with a clear banner, and betrayed other classic inheritance families who were on the same level as them.

They don't seem to care at all about how brutally persecuted they will face other classic inheritance families once they fail. They seem to believe that the emperor will definitely win.

Of course, this must have been manipulated by someone from Guo. This is a well-known fact, and it must have been instigated by the emperor.

But so what?

They have all stood up and waved their flags, and they have clearly stood in line.

The war has begun.

Chapter 1141 One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty One Yellow Dragon Palace Meetings Are Unstoppable

Within a few days, five people appeared on the list.

They represent the five head families of the gentry, each of them asked to establish their own family law as the orthodox sage school, deposed the other family laws, formally broke with the other family laws, and embraced the orthodox embrace.

This is not only an attitude, but also a trend. Their voices directly split the collective of scholars, making the large series of actions that some scholars tried to carry out directly bankrupt and unfeasible.

Some people have already thrown themselves into the arms of the emperor, and some have turned their backs on the collective of scholars. They chose the emperor instead of everyone, and went for better political interests.

The non-violent non-cooperation movement directly failed, Guo Peng's rule did not fall into crisis, and the government would not shut down.

So Guo Peng was overjoyed and promoted Jia Kui, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to be the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. He praised him for his decent handling of affairs under Tian Feng, his ability to speak out, and his courage, and rewarded him with some items.

He also promoted Wailang Huan Dian, a member of the Ministry of Finance, to be the right servant of the Ministry of Finance, praised Huan Dian for "understanding the righteousness", and gave certain rewards.

These two people are obviously Jane's characters in the emperor's heart.

This caused a heavy psychological blow to some scholars.

Some people unequivocally supported the emperor and stood unequivocally on the emperor's side, which had already dispersed the strength of the scholars.

This means that there are people available to the emperor anyway, although not so many.

If the scholars cannot stand on the united front against the emperor, they cannot make the emperor make concessions, because the emperor still has leeway.

Some families will be appointed by the emperor and prosper greatly, while some families will lose political power and status, be suppressed, persecuted, and most likely lose their inheritance.

The danger here...

Probably too big.

After these five people spoke out one after another in mid-to-early December, the initial surge of opposition has begun to subside.

Many people began to weigh their original choices, weighed whether they could bear the relevant backlash, and even began to contact these five people in private, thinking about whether they could change their family and obtain a relatively safe guarantee.

The Five Classics and Fourteen Schools of Law are not fourteen lines of independent development.

The scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not only study the book of their own family law.

Many people are proficient in the Five Classics, they have an understanding of the various family laws of the Five Classics, and they also understand the differences between various family laws and the different interpretations of subtle meanings.

For example, Cai Yong is an all-round scholar, and Lu Zhi is also an all-round scholar.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty looked at the scholars who were proficient in the Confucian classics in a different way, and encouraged more students to learn more about the laws of other families if they had the conditions, so as to master them.

To put it bluntly, there are almost no scholars in the world who only learn the family law of their own family, at least they learn two or three family laws for comparison.

Therefore, the most unacceptable of this result are those families who inherit different family laws and are qualified to teach apprentices, or scholars who happen to have not learned the five selected family laws. There are indeed quite a few of these people.

But after calculating the risk factor, the scholars who happened to have learned the five selected family laws became active.

They realize that their own family is not qualified to inherit the family law, and they will fight with these qualified families. If they lose, they will be blacklisted by the court and have no place to reason.

Who holds the power to interpret the Five Classics and Family Law has nothing to do with the scholars of these second- and third-rate scholar families. They still study the same, pursue the same pursuit, and strive for the same chance of being selected. There will be no change.

And I have indeed learned the five selected family laws. Even if I want to follow the path of these five family laws in the future, I will not be able to say the subtle words here.

When there was such a split among the intellectual resistance group, Guo Peng promulgated the second edict.

[Although the Huanglongdian meeting has not yet been held, the Five Classics Sage Law decided after the discussion of the Huanglongdian meeting is the official academic and ideological representative of the Wei Empire and belongs to the entire Wei Empire.

All those who are willing to throw themselves into the arms of saints and respect the orthodoxy of saints should be regarded as disciples of saints, and should not be expelled or rejected, even if what they originally learned was not the orthodox saint law. 】

This is the general meaning of this decree.

After this imperial decree was promulgated, it was widely circulated, and instantly hit a large number of scholars who did not dare to resist the emperor but were uneasy and worried that they would not be accepted by the new era.

They have no family classics, but rely on their identities as scholars to struggle among the second-, third-, and fourth-rate scholars, and travel around to study, just looking for an upward channel.

Learning what family law is not what they care about, what they care about is whether they can get a rising channel.

The meaning reflected in the imperial decree of the emperor is that even if what you have learned before is not related to family law, as long as you are willing to learn, you can come to learn, can leave you with an upward path, and will never exclude you from learning.

The words are euphemistic and the meaning is clear.

The emperor is telling everyone, those of you who want to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, come here now, don't stand in line now, and after the dust settles, you won't have your share.

From mid-to-late December to the end of the fifth year of Yande, the trend of public opinion in Luoyang City changed, and a fierce debate arose between scholars, bureaucrats and students.

At the same time, a large number of visitors appeared in the houses of Yuan Si, Xun You, Kong Zan, Jia Kui, and Huan Dian.

There are imperial officials, scholars without official status, and some poor students who come to seek opportunities.

Then some court officials began to express their support for the emperor's convening of the Huanglongdian meeting, believing that there must be false and false teachings in the Five Classics and Fourteen Schools of Law, and that a meeting should indeed be held to systematically and thoroughly rectify these theories.

My generation should identify what is true learning and what is false learning for future generations.

The detours we have taken, we cannot allow future generations to walk again, that is irresponsible to future generations.

We firmly support the correct actions of His Majesty the Emperor.

They used high-sounding truths to cover up their joy and ecstasy that they had been promised by some people, and immediately turned their attitude 180 degrees, from firm opposition to firm support.

Then, Guo Peng's confidant officials and poor family officials changed their previous silent attitude and began to speak out.

This group of people occupies most of the decisive official positions in the court and can determine the national policy of the Guo Wei regime.

However, he has not spoken out before, giving people the impression that he does not support the emperor.

As a result, they collectively spoke out at this time.

This makes people wonder if this is a tacit understanding between them and the emperor.

Cao Cao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Guo Hong, the doctor of the imperial censor, Cheng Yu, the official of the imperial censor, Cheng Yu, the minister of the minister, She Tianfeng, the servant of the minister, and all the ministers and most of the ministers of the eight departments of the Shangshutai.

At the same time, the staff officer Ling Xizhong, the staff officer She Xunyou, and Guo Jia also supported all the decisions of the emperor on behalf of the staff station.

Crown Prince Guo Jin supported all decisions made by the emperor's father.

The voice of the central government was thus unified, and everyone gathered around the emperor to unify their cognition.

At the end of December, that is, at the end of the fifth year of Yande, the holding of the Huanglongdian meeting was already unstoppable.
