At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 663

In just over a month, the direction of public opinion in the entire imperial court has undergone a major reversal.

But the emperor himself said [modestly] that although it is the popular will to convene the Huanglongdian meeting to distinguish the authenticity, the matter is of great importance after all.

Therefore, he decided to appoint Situ Caiyong as the "Five Classics Research Envoy" to lead a team to seriously verify the authenticity of the Five Classics and give detailed and reliable conclusions before deciding which of the five schools of law became the orthodox sage law .

Chapter 1142 One thousand 150 two years of Yande six years and Jian'an 13 years

Of course, Mr. Guo has always paid attention to the voices of the people, and has never been arbitrary.

Therefore, this research team is willing to admit more people.

The five officials listed above can represent their families and family laws to join Cai Yong's team for research and assist Cai Yong.

Then Guo Peng also announced that within a two-month deadline, representatives of various families and relevant people were allowed to attend the meeting at Huanglong Temple in Luoyang, join the team of the Five Classics Research Envoy to discuss together, conduct academic debates, and decide the future orthodoxy of the Five Classics.

If you haven't arrived in Luoyang after two months, you will automatically be deemed to have waived this right.

Once the family law sect to which it belongs is not recognized by the imperial court, it will be automatically dismissed from its position as an official school, and will not have a doctorate, will not be recognized by the imperial court, and will not be used for investigation.

Another point is very important.

This time point is counted from the time the emperor said this sentence, not from the time when the news reached their ears and left.

It was December 28th of the fifth year of Yande when someone Guo said this, and when this news began to spread to the outside world, it was already after the New Year's holiday.

By the time the group of people closest to Luoyang got the news and turned pale with shock, it was already the middle of the first month.

They thought that no one would be bought by the emperor, no one would follow the emperor's will, but they should unite to fight against the emperor, fight for the fourteen laws to survive together, defeat other challengers, and continue to enjoy this political power.

But they misestimated the emperor's determination and skill, they also misestimated the world's awe of the emperor's prestige, and even more misestimated the hearts of the people.

The emperor had obviously prepared all the preparations before doing this, and those who were willing to take refuge in him had obviously surfaced.

This group of people has decided to backstab their colleagues and take refuge in the emperor, following the trend of history and becoming the leader of the next period of history.

If they don't stop it, there will be big problems.

The emperor will really establish them as orthodox and destroy the inheritance of the other nine families' family laws, just like when the Hundred Families were deposed and the Baihuguan meeting.

Then it's all over!

As long as the official cooperates!

Zhang Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Xu Jing, Minister of Rites, are all the emperor's people, and they must have benefited in advance and sided with the emperor.

If they can't arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible, everything will be over.

A group of people started on the road in a hurry, and rushed to Luoyang in a hurry. When they were driving, they felt that everything was wrong, and everything was wrong.

Why on earth did the emperor do such a thing?

Just to get rid of the nine family laws and to confirm your merits of martial arts?

Because martial arts has reached its peak, so should it also reach its peak in martial arts?

But what kind of pinnacle of civil governance is dismissing the family law?

They thought about it and couldn't figure out what it meant.

Why on earth did the emperor do this?

Does this do the emperor any good?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

With such doubts in mind, they galloped frantically on the road to Luoyang, trying not to be the one being represented.

Even if the chances are slim, go to Luoyang to do some sabotage to see if there is any chance of breaking the situation.

It is quite difficult to make them give up resistance just because of this.

And when the group of people closest to Luoyang arrived in Luoyang, it was already the beginning of February in the sixth year of Yande.

Many things that should be decided have already been decided.

Guo Peng even happily enjoyed a five-day vacation.

From the first day of the first month of the sixth year of Yande to the fifth day of the first month of the first month of Yande, as always, the royal family left Luoyang City and took a vacation to the Royal Hot Spring outside Luoyang City as a reward for hard work throughout the year.

After these five days passed, Guo Peng decided to visit Cai Yong.

This year, the sixth year of Yande, if Guo Peng did not make a mistake, it should be 208 AD.

In another time and space, this year is not called the sixth year of Yande, but the 13th year of Jian'an.

It was the year when the decisive battle between Cao Sun and Liu Chibi broke out.

The 13th year of Jian'an was a watershed in this period of history in that time and space.

Before this year, Cao Cao still had the possibility of unifying the world. A year ago, he completely defeated the Yuan family, occupied Hebei, and his strength increased greatly. He also conquered Karasuma in the north, cleared away the troubles, and achieved personal military achievements and prestige The apex of the world is unstoppable.

And after this year, the three-point world became a foregone conclusion. The ghosts and monsters who were timid because of Cao Cao's prestige after defeating Yuan Shao found an opportunity. Anti-Cao Cao forces rose again.

Because of the old problems of pride, complacency and underestimation of the enemy, Cao Cao finally failed at the age of 53. He lost the possibility of unifying the world and the possibility of rewriting history.

Perhaps because he wanted to pacify the troubled times too quickly, and wanted to calm the world in one go while the prestige of completely eradicating Yuan's forces had not faded, Cao Cao made another big gamble.

But this time, he failed to stage the scene of eliminating Yuan Shao again.

For Guo Peng, this year was also a watershed for him.

Prior to this, he had been playing a standard scholar and a standard powerful emperor with his excellent and superb acting skills, hiding his attributes of class enemies hidden among the people.

And starting this year, he will gradually reveal his evil and chaotic attributes, preparing to completely overturn the trend of history and break with the scholar class.

Countless scholars may fully recognize the true colors of the emperor in this year, and fully realize that the emperor is not their companion, but their outright enemy.

A sworn enemy who wants to dig up their ancestral graves and dig out their roots.

Unfortunately, someone Guo is not Cao Cao.

He didn't rush to attack Jiangdong Sun's before he digested Jingzhou.

He is an excellent actor and a deep-minded careerist. He has laid a solid foundation for himself. When he feels that he has no chance of winning, he is even willing to be a dog.

But now, he is the supreme emperor in the world, the military god who swept the world with invincible hands, he felt that he had a great chance of victory, and he had no future troubles, so he chose to make a move.

For the watershed of this era, Mr. Guo has paid a lot and done a lot, and has accumulated a very large, very large energy, which is about to fully explode this year.

Cao Cao lost the Battle of Chibi and lost the opportunity to rule the world and rewrite history.

And Mr. Guo will not lose his "Battle of Chibi", he will win this battle, truly rewrite history and change everything.

This year, whether it is the sixth year of Yande or the 13th year of Jian'an, will soon be known.

On the sixth day of the first month of the sixth year of Yande, someone from Guo visited Cai Yong in person, and the horn of war sounded.

Cai Yong's body is not as good as before, but it is still quite tough.

He is doing what he likes, and he doesn't have to worry about any disasters coming to him. This kind of life makes Cai Yong very satisfied.

The mood is relaxed, the spirit is good, the spirit is good, the more you eat, the more you eat, the longer your life expectancy.

Moreover, Cai Yong has a high political status as the current Situ. Although he has no political power, it is precisely because he has no political power that he can live so loosely and comfortably.

Cai Yong regarded writing history books for the Eastern Han Empire as the only thing he had to accomplish in his later years, and he was working hard on it.

As a result, I suddenly learned that Guo Peng decided to appoint him as the "Five Classics Research Envoy" and let him lead a team to identify who is true and who is false, who should be dismissed, and who can become the official orthodoxy.

Cai Yong was quite shocked by this news. He wanted to find Guo Peng, but Guo Peng had no time.

It wasn't until after the New Year's holiday in the sixth year of Yande that Guo Peng finally [had time] and came to him in person.

Only at this time can he really sit with Guo Peng and talk to each other alone.

Chapter 1143 One Thousand 150 Three

When Guo Peng met Cai Yong, he spoke very decisively and directly.

"Mr. Cai, this matter itself is something I hope to save you from any regrets. Do you still remember the matter of the Xiping Stone Book?"

Guo Peng got straight to the point and gave a definition to this matter.

Cai Yong was taken aback for a moment, remembering what happened back then.

"Back then, Emperor Xiaoling of the Han Dynasty felt that there were too many different characters in the Five Classics, and each family had different understandings of the scriptures, so..."

"So I hope to unify the different characters of the Five Classics. In fact, I hope to accomplish what I am going to do today, cut off the redundant family law and turn it into a unified Five Classics, so that the court has the opportunity to take some initiative, instead of being ruled by ten people. The Four Schools lead by the nose."

Guo Peng poured Cai Yong a cup of tea: "Xiaoling is not unaware of the lack of officials that the country is facing since the party was imprisoned, and it's not that he doesn't want to make changes, but Xiaoling has gone too far.

He has no foundation, no preparation, and has never wooed anyone, so he wants to use his own attitude to stipulate the Five Classics, so that all scholars in the world can learn the Five Classics stipulated by the imperial court, and take the right to teach from the hands of the Fourteen Schools of Law. return.

But how can such a thing be accepted?After all, the scholars held the initiative and exerted a little pressure. Cai Gong was struggling, so he had to add the different characters of each family's law in the stone scriptures to ensure the interests of each family's law.

In this way, there is no difference between the existence of the Xiping Stone Classics and the absence of them. It just allows more scholars to copy and gain knowledge, but nothing can be changed. Cai Gong also regrets this. "

Cai Yong recalled what happened back then, and sighed deeply.

"It is true, this is indeed a regret in my life, I am determined to accomplish this, but the pressure from all aspects is too great for me to bear.

When I was doing this, I was constantly pressured and even threatened from all sides, and later I made enemies because of it. I had to stay away from Jianghai. If there is no Zifeng, I..."

Cai Yong obviously remembered some inside stories from that year.

He just wanted to be a pure scholar and do something for the emperor, but many people didn't want him to do that.

"Exactly, I have learned the experience of Xiaoling's failure, and decided to take a step back. From the fourteen schools of law, I selected five schools of law and made them orthodox. In this way, I won support from the scholar community and unified the Five Classics. But it does not change the qualifications of scholars to teach."

Guo Peng took a sip of tea: "This is the only thing I want to do, Mr. Cai, as an emperor, what he seeks is nothing but Wenzhiwugong. As for martial arts, I have nothing else to ask for.

What I am looking for, that is, Wenzhi, I must achieve success, Wenzhi and martial arts, neither of which is missing, but today's Wenzhi makes it difficult for me, and I have to make some changes. "

Cai Yong was silent for a while, and took a sip of tea.

"As an emperor, it is right for Zifeng to pursue civil and martial arts, but the involvement in this matter is too big. Cutting down the nine family laws in one go will touch the fundamental interests of many people.

If Zifeng accomplishes this, it will be tantamount to cutting off the family law inheritance of many families and bringing them back to their original form, and is this the same as the original intention of the sage, we..."

Guo Peng reached out his hand to stop Cai Yong from continuing.

"Cai Gong, since the sage's original meaning has been passed down to this day, how many have been distorted and understood, and how many have not been verified. Isn't this something everyone knows? The Five Classics and Fourteen Family Laws, the trivial words and the righteousness, how many of them are far-fetched words of later generations? , is Cai Gong's number clear?

Mr. Cai, don’t forget that when I was in Luoyang, I also studied the Five Classics with Mr. Cai and Mr. Lu, and learned that each family’s laws are different. The so-called Fourteen Schools’ laws are nothing more than different characters and sentence sentences, which lead to different understandings. .

Which one is the view of the saint?Or maybe there is no sage's view in all the family laws. Can Mr. Cai be sure about this kind of thing?Can Mr. Cai really tell whether what we learn is the original intention of the sage or the creator of the family law? "

Guo Peng put down his teacup and shook his head.

"Up to now, the words of the sage are no longer simply teaching materials for enlightenment, but have become mutated teachings for the purpose of competing for official positions and power. How is it different from the Taipingdao teachings that Zhang Jiao used to confuse people and use them to rebel? Woolen cloth?"

Cai Yong suddenly felt speechless.

"All forces are constantly wrestling and fighting around different interpretations of the sage's words. Is it true that they really want to know what the sage said? Isn't it power and official position?"

Guo Peng raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "I know what they are thinking. I did this to save face for the sage, and don't let the sage's words for the sake of enlightening the people become a tool for them to fight for power. Don't you want that, my lord?"

Cai Yong pursed his lips, speechless for a long time.

Finally, Cai Yong nodded.

"Zifeng's statement is correct. The words of the saints have long been turned into tools for power and profit. If the saints know it, they don't know how to feel sad. It should be the words of gold and stone to educate the people, but it has become a mutual attack. The murder weapon!"

Cai Yong sighed deeply, feeling deeply regretful.

"The things that couldn't be done back then, Zifeng is willing to do it now, so what should I worry about?"

"Duke Cai Gao Yi."

Guo Peng nodded happily.

"Then, Zifeng chose those five families?"

"Well, we must always reward those who dare to be the first, and give some benefits to those who are willing to take the lead in initiating changes. Otherwise, the changes will not be beneficial. Over time, no one will be willing to change. Mr. Cai, for the time being, just use the five Let’s be orthodox at home.”

"temporary?"
