Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 844 Saved a Life

"All Taixue choose to support?"

Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu in front of him suspiciously.

Since ascending to the throne, these Tai students have been swayed by the officials and always jumped out to cause trouble. Liu Chang thought he was lenient enough for them, and did not punish them severely for this.

However, Liu Chang had almost tacitly agreed in his heart that these imperial students were a group of troublemakers. As long as someone went to the imperial academy to preach a little, they would immediately turn into sharp knives in the hands of others.

Liu Chang was very dissatisfied with this point.

But now, when he heard that the public opinion on Taixue actually turned towards the Ministry of Industry, Liu Chang was very surprised. They didn't oppose it this time?
Dou Guangguo analyzed seriously: "Your Majesty, the vast majority of Taixue support the Ministry of Industry."

"This is because of the changes in Huang Lao's thinking. Since the prince wrote the book, Huang Lao has developed a so-called scientific theory, and he attaches great importance to technology. In this year, more than 80 Huang Lao students passed the examination. After entering the Shangfang Mansion, the Mohist family is no longer dominant in the Shangfang Mansion."

"In addition, because of the call of the prince, Huang Lao students from all over the world published articles, which brought a new trend."

"what?"

Liu Chang looked a little confused.

Lu Lu said in a low voice, "How can Your Majesty understand any articles?"

Dou Guangguo cleared his throat, "Your Majesty is devoted to governing the country. I think it's been a long time since I paid attention to the newspapers of various factions. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Dou Guangguo called a servant and gave some instructions.

Soon a soldier came in with a lot of newspapers, put the newspapers aside, Dou Guangguo picked up the newspapers, stood aside respectfully, and explained to Liu Chang.

These are newspapers of various schools of thought. Dou Guangguo first took out the Confucian newspapers.

"This is a topic that Confucianism has become obsessed with recently, filial piety."

"They were talking about filial piety when I was born, are they still talking about it now??"

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is a Confucian debate between Wang Tong and Ding Kuan on the grounds that the father committed a crime and whether the son should cover it up. Treated by a craftsman. Look here"

Dou Guangguo explained seriously, Liu Chang nodded his head lightly, and didn't seem to care much.

"It's from the Legalists."

The legalist newspaper is still as simple as ever. It is to discuss some new laws, discuss whether they are reasonable and whether they can be improved, and then talk about some representative cases in various places. Everyone expresses their opinions. This legalist newspaper is about to become a legal newspaper. up.

Mohist newspapers are about the achievements of some craftsmen and advocate the status of craftsmen.

Finally, Dou Guangguo picked up Huang Lao's newspaper.

"Look, this is an article by a man named Huang Sheng. He made a hollow glass, heated it and inserted it into the water, and found that the water in the glass tube moved up and down."

"This is the article of another man who set different objects on fire and calculated the time it took for different objects to catch fire on the surface"

"This man counted the bones of the human body in detail"

"There is also this person, he made a chain drive, he said it can be applied in many fields."

Liu Chang widened his eyes.

Compared with newspapers from other schools of thought, Huang Lao's newspaper is simply unique!This is where various discoveries and inventions are published?He flipped through several issues of the newspaper, and found that Mr. Huang's recent interest was all in scientific research, which was more ferocious than the Mohist school. Only a few times would he remember that they were a formal school of governance. When talking about major national affairs, the rest of the time is devoted to scientific research.

"Huang Lao has changed so much??"

Dou Guangguo said with a smile: "It's all because of the prince's contribution."

"Not only in the field of scientific research, but also in other aspects, Mr. Huang is also very supportive of temples. Whether it is opening the sea, promoting business, or the current support industry, they are very passionate and willing to change, which is completely opposite to Confucianism."

Dou Guangguo gently stroked his beard, and said softly: "Only the Confucianists are very dissatisfied with the many policies of the temple. Most of the opponents in the Imperial Academy are also Confucianists."

Liu Chang was furious.

"Do these idiots really think that I don't dare to burn books and defraud scholars?!"

"Come on someone!!"

Dou Guangguo hastily said: "Your Majesty, not all Confucians are against it. There are also sages among Confucianists. Now Huang Lao is powerful, and their opposition is of no avail. Your Majesty need not get angry."

Lu Lu also hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, among other things, the Gongyang School supports the idea of ​​helping workers."

"Hu Wusheng took the topic of sharpening his tools first if he wanted to be good at his work. He wrote many articles, saying that if a big man wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his country's weapons. Many people have been harvested by using the Ministry of Industry as a tool of a big man. Following him, Gongyang became more and more powerful, and many Confucian scholars from other schools switched to Gongyang. There was also Dong Zhongshu, who had even greater ambitions. To be able to employ workers, he said that the only way to control the tools is the way of saints.”

Liu Chang snorted coldly, and scolded: "Gongyang Confucianism is not a good thing either, their idea depends entirely on who is in power!"

Neither Dou Guangguo nor Lu Lu dared to say anything more.

Liu Chang said with a cold face, "There are still four days. If the ministers do not agree within four days, then I will have to do it myself."

Both of them knew in their hearts that the emperor had murderous intentions towards Confucianism again.

In the past, there was Fu Qiubo, who was able to suppress the scattered Confucianism and played a protective role. Now that he is gone, Shen Pei obviously cannot suppress so many factions. In binding, the interests of the big clan are always considered first. If this continues, there will be big problems.

After the two left, Liu Chang picked up the newspaper again, squinted his eyes, and looked at it seriously.

He is very satisfied with Mr. Huang.

As for Confucianism, he was very dissatisfied.

And the consequences of making him dissatisfied will be very serious.

However, he didn't think too much. Soon, he left the newspaper and went to find Cao Shu and the others.

On the next day, before Liu Chang opened his eyes, he was woken up by someone.

He felt that someone was shaking him, calling him constantly.

Liu Chang opened his eyes suddenly, but Liu Qian, who was riding on him, was taken aback. He almost fell and was caught by Liu Chang.

There are pigs on the side.

Liu Chang sat up and looked helplessly at the two little guys in front of him.

One in each hand, he put them in his arms.

"Why are you here and what time is it?"

Liu Chang yawned.

Liu Qian said cautiously: "Father! Mother is going to give us away! You must save us!"

"Huh? Who are you sending it to?"

"She forbade us to come to Tianlu Pavilion again, and told us to go to Chang'an County to learn."

Liu Chang groaned, he knew about this, the two of them were the only ones left in Tianlu Pavilion, and Mao Chang, who was in charge of teaching them, was going to the south, it seemed that Liu An had something to order.In the end, they decided to send the two students to the county school in Chang'an. On the one hand, they were too young to be educated by themselves. The county school was enough. In addition, they wanted them to get in touch with children from outside. It is definitely right to have more contact with peers. Not only can you increase your experience, but you can also make more friends.

"Qian, your mother didn't want to send you away, but to let you study in another place."

"She didn't make it clear to you. The place you are going to is the most fun place in Chang'an. There are many children in it, you can play together, and the sacrifice wine is not as fierce as Mao Chang. Compared with today's Luge is much better."

Liu Chang patiently drew the pie.

Sure enough, Liu Qian believed his words immediately, but he still hesitated in his heart.

"But my mother said that when I get there, I will no longer be her child, and I will have to change my surname, and I will not be polite to me when offering wine, and I will be beaten if I don't learn well."

Liu Changda laughed.

"Qian, you are the eldest grandson of the Great Han Emperor. If they all know your identity, would they still dare to play with you? When they see you, they will salute you, and they dare not talk to you. What's the point if you're just a regular guest? My mother asked you to change your name in the county school to make you have more fun."

"I see!"

Liu Qian was overjoyed.

The little pig asked, "Then, can the eldest father send us to school?"

"Ah? Why do you want me to deliver it?"

"We are young and we are afraid of being bullied. If you come to see you, you are so tall. They will definitely not dare to bully us after seeing you!"

Liu Chang laughed loudly, "Good!"

"I'll take you there!"

"Let me have a meal first!"

Because of its large scale, Chang'an has fourteen county schools, and No. 15 is still under construction.

And Liu Qian and Xiaozhu are going to the Second County School closest to the Prince's Mansion.

Liu Chang has been to Taixue many times, but he has not been to this county school for a long time. He also wanted to give his grandson a chance to see the situation there. In order not to be recognized, Liu Chang changed his clothes on purpose. He no longer wears the shining Chu suit, bent his waist on purpose, and changed all the hair accessories. Although it is still very conspicuous, judging from this outfit, he is more inclined to Zhao Yan's ranger, so he should not be caught at a glance. see through.

The carriage drove all the way in the direction of the county school.

Both Liu Qian and Liu Zhi were very happy.

In order to deceive others, of course they also changed their surnames to Lu, pretending to be the heirs of Lu Chan's family.

Anyway, Lu gave birth to many children, even close relatives may not be able to recognize them.

"Father, if you beat me with the wine, can I tell Father Zhong?"

"No."

"Then what if my classmates hit me?"

"Solve it yourself."

"What if you're older than me?"

"Don't worry, no one in Chang'an dares to beat someone surnamed Lu, don't worry so much."

Little Pig suddenly said, "I dare to hit someone surnamed Lu."

Liu Chang patted him on the head, "Why are you still learning badly, you idiot? Stop interacting with your father!"

The scale of this county school is not small, the courtyard wall surrounds the entire county school, and there are no residential buildings around it. There are books and shops on both sides, and ordinary restaurants and restaurants are not allowed to open around it.But you can see hawkers waiting around, looking around secretly, they have a lot of toys and even various snacks here.

Liu Chang took the two little guys into the county school.

The county school is extremely spacious, and you can see children lined up neatly in the distance. Liu Qian's eyes looked straight when he took steps under the order of the teacher.

It was a middle-aged scribe who came to greet them.

It is the great sacrificial wine of this second county school.

Seeing the burly and strong man in front of him, Da Jijiu was also a little stunned, and soon calmed down.

For some reason, people are getting taller and taller now.

Dajijiu thought to himself, the children who come to school these days are taller than the other, and some of them have not graduated yet, and they are almost as tall as adults, which is outrageous.

Could it be that in this prosperous age, the size of people will be affected?

"Your family's children are already registered, Lu Qian, right? Both of them are really too young, but they have all been enlightened, right? It doesn't matter, Qian can go to the first grade, but there are also some in the first grade." A child of five or six years old."

The adult age of the big man is younger, usually 15 years old can be treated as an adult, so the children are usually more precocious, can enter school at the age of five or six, but generally enter school at the age of eight, twelve After completing their studies at the age of three, they can go to work or continue their education.

"But...Little Pig, right? He can't do it, he's too young to keep up, but we have preparatory classes that are usually used as preparations before entering school. There are many heirs of noble people here, so he can be admitted to this class." class."

What the old Jijiu said made sense, so Liu Chang naturally acquiesced.

After assigning the two children, he personally led them to their respective classes. Liu Qian and Liu Zhi said goodbye to Liu Chang with a smile, and walked into the classroom swaggeringly.

Dajijiu wanted to go back, but was stopped by Liu Chang.

"I want to ask you something."

"You say."

"How many children are there?"

"We now have 630 seven students here. Most of them are in the lower grades, and fewer in the upper grades. They are generally children from nearby families."

"How many teachers do you have?"

"There are currently 83 less, but we are still calling"

Liu Chang asked a lot of related things, and the more he talked about the wine, the more he talked about it.

"Many scholars look down on us, thinking that we have no way to pass the examination, so we will follow the path of teachers and come here to teach children, especially those of us who study in the county. The county school is good, and the teachers in the county school are still very good. Those who are respected, not to mention Taixue, only us, recruiting teachers is the most difficult. Half of our teachers here are my own disciples. I will bring them with me and teach them personally. After learning, A lot of people stayed and helped me."

Liu Chang nodded, "I know this, I heard that county schools all over the world lack teachers."

"Yes. There are more and more children who want to go to school. This is a good thing. In the prosperous age, it is enlightenment for the world. Although many people don't pay attention to it, among many schools, county schools are the most important and the most common. Yes. We are also working hard to find a way, you don't have to worry, the child must be taught by a teacher, and there will be no situation where you can't go to class, you don't have to worry about it at all."

Liu Chang was silent for a while, looked at the old Jijiu who was struggling to explain, and asked, "I heard that Wang Tong of Confucianism proposed to build a school for training teachers. After the construction is completed, maybe there will be no such shortage."

Jijiu smiled wryly, "Oh, this may be a good thing, but the teacher of the county school is not taken seriously, so it's hard to say whether anyone will be willing to go, I hope it will succeed. I am also old, and I don't know how much I can bring out. The teacher is here."

Liu Chang asked curiously: "How many teachers have you brought out?"

"I can't remember clearly. Among the disciples, there are probably more than 1000 teachers who are teachers in various places."

Liu Chang was taken aback, and looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"It turned out to be a virtuous master."

The man hurriedly said: "You don't want to be like this. I am nothing. Among my senior brothers, I am one of the few. I have a few senior brothers who have trained thousands of teachers. They are currently in schools all over the world. .”

Liu Chang became even more curious, "May I ask what school you are from?"

Old Jijiu smiled wryly, "It's from Uncle Grandpa's lineage."

A figure suddenly flashed in Liu Chang's mind, that person who likes to fabricate allusions, flatters and flatters in order to preserve Confucianism, and is very flexible, so he is called the most spineless Confucian boss who is unanimously despised by everyone else.

"Uncle Sun Tong"

The old Jijiu said seriously: "Before my teacher passed away, he told us to teach the world with enlightenment as our own. Since then, our faction has begun to teach in various schools, recruit students, and spread branches and leaves. Our No matter where you come from, there are no distinctions, there are more and more people who follow us. Of course, not everyone is willing to spend all their efforts in colleges like me, but there are still many people who have stayed in county schools in many places. , are all set up by our school, and it can be regarded as living up to the high expectations of the teacher."

Liu Chang suddenly realized that after Shusun Tong's death, his school had no reputation, was unknown, rarely heard about them, and could not be seen in the newspapers. As the mainstream of Confucianism at the time, Liu Chang was still curious How did they die so quickly? Now it seems that they are not dying out, but are implementing Shusun Tong’s philosophy and striving to enlighten the world. No wonder so many Confucianists take the initiative to go to various places to serve as sacrificial wine every year
At this moment, Liu Chang's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Before he knew it, Shusun Tong had passed away for many years.

I still remember that when I asked him to be in charge of the enlightenment, the old man was full of fighting spirit, clamoring all day to complete the highest idea of ​​Confucianism.

The old man had already been buried in the soil, and even his body might have rotted away.

However, those slogans and ideas of his have not died out until now. His disciples are still running around, constantly teaching students, not seeking fame, not seeking official titles, and struggling in an unknown way.

This old man is worthy of everyone who even Duke Fuqiu wants to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, his heart was full of emotion.

The old Jijiu didn't notice any abnormalities, and continued: "Sooner or later, we will be able to fulfill the teacher's last wish. Enlighten the world, make everyone in the world know the truth of a sage, be a moral person, and it can be said that the world is in harmony."

As the old Jijiu said, his whole body was full of energy.

Liu Chang took a deep look at him.

"You have a good teacher."

"do you know?"

"Your teacher saved Confucianism again."
