At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Even if there is a national war, even if everyone opposes it, as long as the emperor agrees, the war will have to be fought.

This is the most direct symbol of imperial power.

You can object, but you cannot reverse the situation.

What used to be the emperor's plight, now it's the opposition's plight.

There are many people who look down on Guo Peng's background. They slander Guo Peng in private, thinking that Guo Peng is just a second-rate gentry who came from a shabby family.

But no matter how the second generation dies, as long as Guo Peng is still alive and has lived for a certain number of years, they will not even have a chance to stand up.

The benefits obtained by the latecomers are not their benefits, and the latecomers will never save them when facing them, but will step on the last foot fiercely.

So, the struggle is here, the struggle is now.

They did have a chance to argue.

Guo Peng just came to watch and did not express his opinion. Situ Caiyong was the host of the meeting. In front of Caiyong, the supporters and opponents had a heated debate, spreading out their respective family laws, one word at a time. word button.

What is the meaning of this word, what is the meaning of that word, what does the sage think, what does the sage say.

Your different characters are wrong, mine are the real words of a sage, and yours is a forgery of later generations, depose!

Such a sentence is right, and that sentence is wrong.

The ancient scriptures are the real words of the sages, and the modern scriptures are just the far-fetched words of later generations. They are all false, deposed!

The quarrel was extremely intense, and the attacks on each other quickly rose to the level of personal attacks.

If it weren't for the emperor still sitting on it and they didn't dare to be presumptuous, then they probably are really good at things like personal attacks and party attacks.

The argument between them also sounded quite boring to Guo Peng.

Confucian scholars always say that each character of the Confucian classics created by the Spring and Autumn Period has its own meaning, and each character contains a profound artistic conception. The taste of the world.

This statement made Guo Peng want to laugh.

Do you really think that the Chunqiu brushwork is deliberately done by people?

Yes, in a sense it can be regarded as deliberate, but the reason is very mundane.

No paper.

The silk cloth is so expensive, the bamboo slips are so heavy, and there are few places where you can write. So writing a book must be as few and refined as possible. This is more economical. Otherwise, the country’s finances cannot support it.

Give them enough paper, and they can write hundreds of thousands of words in every minute without stopping.

How shameless this group of Confucian scholars are able to develop the helplessness of their ancestors due to the constraints of the times into the Fourteen Schools of Law and spread them widely. Woolen cloth?

Seeing that they are still picking out the words word by word, what does this word mean, what does it stand for, what you say doesn’t count, what I say counts, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll kill you...

No matter how you look at it, it's unsightly.

Are they refuting the authenticity of the words of the saints?

Are they fighting for the name of Confucius and his old man at all costs?

fart!

They are desperately fighting for their own political and economic interests!

His mouth is full of ideas, his heart is full of business, and he is arguing about trivial matters, not because his family and school can monopolize the channels for political advancement!

Who cares about Confucius?

Who cares what Confucius said and did?

All they need is the signboard [Confucius].

Is it really necessary to waste time here with these people?

For a moment, someone Guo really wanted Xu Chu and Dian Wei to lead the troops to wash the Yellow Dragon Palace with blood, that would be the easiest way.

However, he is not a conqueror, he is a ruler.

Conquerors can play bloodbath, and rulers must [convince people with reason].

Let's fight, I will give you a month to fight until your brains are scattered all over the floor, and then see what kind of ghost you can fight.

Anyway, the final outcome will not change, it is already doomed.

Chapter 1146 One thousand 150 six, you are really hardworking actors

Guo Peng didn't stay here for too long, and left soon, and then asked the officials in charge of the records to report once a day what they had argued about, as well as specific trends and the like.

Guo Peng himself still handles daily state affairs as usual to maintain the normal operation of the country.

After a few days like this, Guo Peng suddenly felt that the current self, like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting, and Emperor Zhang Zhang of the Baihuguan meeting, were pretending to be confused.

What you want has already been decided, and what you want to achieve has already been promoted.

The wooing has been completed, and the benefits of the exchange have also been exchanged.

Official positions, power, and the future have all been negotiated. For the emperor and the Han Dynasty, the best situation at that time has been formed, and the interests of the emperor and the country have been satisfied.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Han Zhang were satisfied with the interests they could obtain, and the families they exchanged with were also satisfied, and the two sides reached a compromise.

Then it was decided to announce the meeting to the public.

Some people who are destined to be abandoned are resisting desperately, and some people who will shine on the historical stage in the future are pretending to accompany them in acting.

Everyone was arguing with passion and sparks, just like a battlefield without gunpowder.

But, this is acting.

Acting for history to see.

The protagonist group has already won the victory, and the supporting actors and extras who are used to support the play are doomed to fail.

In those two scenes, Emperor Han Xuan and Emperor Han Zhang and their supporters got what they wanted.

And this time will be no exception.

Everyone, you are really hardworking actors.

Someone Guo showed a gratified smile for this.

Everything seems to be just a reincarnation, and Guo Peng looks no different from Han Xuandi and Han Zhangdi.

Same thing done, same result, another redistribution of benefits without breaking plates, old wine in new bottles, no surprises.

The five classics family law that won this time will become the officially certified sage law, and will be officially stipulated that only by learning the five classics can you be a filial and honest official and be able to enter the hall of elegance.

Therefore, the five main families who master the five classics will inevitably prosper.

Whether it was the Xun family in Yingchuan that declined because of offending the emperor, the Yuan family in Runan that was on the verge of extinction because of rebellion, the Kong family in Lujun, who was directly descended from the saint Kong, or the Jia family and Jia family in Fufeng Pingling who were not well-known before. Long Kanghuan's family.

They all stood on the cusp of the times, and because of the precious property left to them by their ancestors, they were able to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With this opportunity, they will face a completely different ending. With this opportunity, everything they face will be different.

They will become the darlings of the era, standing at the top of the era, making waves and leading the next era.

How enviable.

If Guo Peng really wanted to do all of this just like Emperor Xuan and Zhang of the Han Dynasty, they could indeed lead the next era.

However, this is just a pretense.

The convening of the Huanglongdian meeting, the daily agenda, and the results affect everyone's hearts. All people who can read and write, whether they are scholars or not, are paying attention to this meeting that is destined to change everything.

Except someone Guo.

Mr. Guo only went to the meeting once on the first day of the meeting, and then he never went to Huanglongdian to attend the meeting. The reason was that he was very busy, he was the emperor, and he had too many things to do.

But in order to show that he really cared about this meeting, he ordered the imperial chefs in the palace to prepare a meal for the scholars in the Yellow Dragon Palace who were drooling fiercely in addition to preparing meals for the royal family.

Although quarreling and spitting each other are not as exhausting as fighting, but after a little thought, you should understand that quarreling also consumes energy, and it consumes a lot.

If you don't give them adequate nutrition, how can they keep arguing?

Guo Peng asked the imperial dining room to provide them with rich meals, all kinds of big fish and meat, and all kinds of fresh seafood. They would eat whatever the emperor ate, and claimed that the emperor paid for them out of his own pocket.

Out of the principle of "not to let go of any publicity opportunity", the propaganda organization led by Chen Lin immediately opened fire, and immediately publicized the emperor's preferential treatment for scholars.

With the environment of public opinion becoming more and more dominant, the real outcome of the Huanglongdian meeting is actually not important anymore.

Anyway, in the end, it was Guo Peng who issued an imperial decree, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials followed up, stipulated the results from the national legal level, and then completed the lore of the nine family laws.

During the one-month debate period, basically nothing that could make waves happened.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is that those scholar families who rushed to catch up with the Huanglongdian meeting were rejected when they wanted to enter Luoyang City, so they yelled and cursed outside Luoyang City.

On March [-]th of the fifth year of Yande, when Guo Peng was instructing Guo Jin to deal with state affairs, Guo Jin suddenly saw the report on this matter.

"Ajin, remember, misfortune comes from your mouth. Even if you become the emperor in the future, you must remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not spoil major events because of your unrestrained words."

Guo Peng handed the memorandum to Guo Jin: "You decide what to do with them."

"Son to decide?"

"Well, you decide."

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin: "You decide what crimes to convict them, how to deal with them, and then execute them."

Guo Jin was a little excited, thought for a while, and then said: "My son decided to convict one of them for slandering the emperor. The one who speaks can be whipped fifty times or punished fifty times, and the rest will be whipped or punished ten times as a token of respect." Punish, and then rush back to the place of origin."

Guo Peng nodded his approval.

"Fine, let's do it."

Guo Peng watched with his own eyes that Guo Jin wrote down his opinions on this memorandum, and then issued it for execution.

An hour later, those who tried to enter Luoyang were beaten with sticks and whips, and successfully enjoyed the iron fist from feudal power politics.

Then they were forcibly taken home by the guards in Luoyang, returned to their hometown, and continued to live their own lives.

All this is completely blocked from the scholars who are participating in the dispute at the Huanglongdian meeting in Luoyang City.

They are blocked from all sources of news, and any news that is beneficial to them will not be known to them.

They just concentrated their energy on a desperate battle with the scholars who supported Guo Peng in the Yellow Dragon Hall.

The Yingchuan Zhang family who arrived in Luoyang in time to inherit the "Liangqiu Yi", the Beihai Anqiu Lang family who inherited the "Jing Shi Yi" and the Chen Liudong Hun Liu who inherited the "Shi Shi Yi" joined hands, and the three families faced each other together. Yuan Si launched a fierce attack.

However, Yuan Si was not without helpers. The Xia family of Mengxian County in Liangjun County and the Wa family of Nanyang who came in time were both families that inherited "Meng Shiyi".

In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, these two families survived with great difficulty, but no one could say whether they could pass it on due to the decrease in the number of people in the family. As a result, the situation changed suddenly, and there was hope for their inheritance.

So they frantically rushed to Luoyang, tightly hugged the Yuan family whose inheritance was also very dangerous, and the three unlucky family hugged and wept bitterly, and tried their best to sing about the upcoming happy life.

During this Huanglongdian meeting, facing the joint doubts and violent attacks from the other three families, these three families also hugged tightly, supported each other and helped each other, and tried their best to debate with the other three families, barely losing the upper hand.

Kong's family has a strong foundation, and strictly speaking, all five family laws should belong to others.

But after all, the times have changed, and the benefits of your family wanting to monopolize so many families cannot be justified anyway, and Guo Peng will never allow the Kong family to dominate.

Therefore, the Confucius family still chose the relatively well-researched "Mao Shi" as a breakthrough point, trying to overthrow the three poems of Qilu and Han in one fell swoop, and kill the families that inherited these three poems one after another, and establish the orthodoxy of "Mao Shi". Get a piece of the action in a storm.

You can't be the only one, you can be one of the five hooligans.

After all, they are descendants of Confucius. Many old scholars have come to this wave of Kong's family.

The Kong family's team is strong and powerful, and protected by the halo of Confucius' descendants, the family inheriting the poems of the Qi, Lu and Han families didn't take advantage of Kong's hands.

The two sides are fighting fiercely.

Chapter 1147 One thousand 150 seven Are you talking about old love with me?

The challenge facing the Xun family is still quite severe. After all, the Spring and Autumn Classic is a relatively strong one among the Five Classics.

The Gongyang Spring and Autumn School was a prominent school of Confucianism in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Many scholars ruled Gongyang under the call of the times, so that the family law separation of the Yan family and the Yan family was born within the Gongyang School.

Including His Majesty the current emperor, he also ruled Yan's Gongyang at the beginning.

In the official Spring and Autumn Studies of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were only Yan’s Gongyang Chunqiu and Yan’s Gongyang Chunqiu, and these two families had their own doctors. If there was a civil war, it would be Yan’s and Yan’s.
