At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng ordered that the Pentateuch, transcribed on large paper and marked with punctuation marks, be published on the large square outside the palace.

Publish your own imperial decree together with the five scriptures, spread it widely, let everyone know, and spread it further to the outside world, to the states and counties of the Great Wei Empire.

Under Yuan Si's instructions, the officials in Taixue immediately made the annotated scriptures public to the world.

It also specially announced the meaning of the punctuation marks used by the emperor, and made it public together.

The big picture is set.

chapter 1170 one thousand 180 chaos in Luoyang

If the vibration of the previous Huanglongdian meeting on the scholars was equivalent to an eight-magnitude earthquake, then the shock of the announcement of the imperial decree on the scholars this time is equivalent to a spark hitting the earth.

When I first heard about it, I was a bit ignorant and could not understand what the emperor meant, but when they gathered together in the big square in front of the palace to watch the annotated version of the Five Classics published by the emperor, the shock was indescribable. .

Only Mars hitting the earth can barely be described.

After reading a few paragraphs, a wise person realizes that from this moment on, the family law is dead, and the inheritance of the family law is meaningless.

The most important sentences have been marked with this strange punctuation mark and made public, and everyone who can read can understand it. What secrets are there in the family law?

Then what is the need for the existence of the Five Classics family that holds the right to interpret the scriptures?

The shock in the hearts of the scholars has not yet ended, and the news that makes them feel even more puzzled has come out.

Four of the five biggest beneficiary families of the Huanglongdian meeting, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Yuan family in Runan, the Jia family in Fufeng Pingling and the Kong family in Lujun, all spoke out, announcing to the turbulent crowd of their own disciples——

They infinitely support His Majesty's decision, and they infinitely support His Majesty's decision to allow more students to learn better.

Punctuation marks are a genius creation of His Majesty the Emperor. They call on more people to learn and master, and then become better officials.

They are willing to contribute their own family law to the long-term development of the country, and decided to integrate the educational resources of their private schools into Taixue, making the official Taixue the real highest-level institution in the country, and calling on everyone to go to Taixue to learn real knowledge.

There are rich educational resources and excellent teachers in Taixue. As long as they are willing to enter Taixue, they can go to Taixue to study without worrying about getting in or not.

However, if the speed is faster, if it is late or slow, it will really fail to catch up.

Their statement really shocked the scholars for a whole year.

Then there was an extremely sharp polarization within the group of scholars immediately.

People who have sensed the inexplicable opportunity and felt the general trend of the world, or those who have known some inside stories beforehand, rushed to Taixue as quickly as possible.

Some of the old-fashioned and warm-hearted people will invite people around them to rush to Taixue to register.

The more people you recruit, the better.

Only by signing up can we guarantee safety, otherwise I don't know what terrible treatment I will encounter.

The ghost knows what unexpected things His Majesty the Emperor will do.

Scholars who did not study in Taixue were at a loss at first, but seeing people around them go to Taixue to sign up one after another, and after gradually gathering into a stream of people, more and more people quickly followed this stream of people to Taixue .

When in a panic, people always follow the crowd.

When they arrived at Taixue, they were surprised to find that there was a whole row of more than 50 desks at the entrance of Taixue, and there were staff members of Taixue sitting behind each desk.

There were paper and pens on the table in front of them, and they seemed to be preparing to register something.

"Choose a different place to register according to the scriptures you want to study! You are right, here is the "Book of Changes", here is the "Spring and Autumn Classics", here is the "Shangshu"... Don't go to the wrong place! And... ...Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze!!"

The scholars swarmed up, causing a headache for the officials responsible for maintaining order.

After the initial panic, the other pole of the polarization went to the Huan family, the only silent one among the five major families, to seek a reliable explanation.

It happened so suddenly that they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and they didn't know what to do.

I was at a loss, my mind was blank, and my mind was blank.

They can only seek help from the Huan family.

It's a pity that the Huan family didn't speak out because they opposed the emperor's strategy. The Huan family didn't know about this matter at all, so they seemed flustered and panicked, and there was no time to speak out.

When Huan Dian learned of the situation, he thought he was dreaming. After realizing that it was broad daylight, he immediately entered the palace to ask Guo Peng.

But Emperor Guo Peng refused to meet him and asked him to leave the palace and go back to reflect on what mistakes he had made.

Huan fell into inexplicable panic and fear.

Faced with the turbulent crowd, the Huan family could not do anything at all. The elites living in Luoyang were in a mess, and they were all battered.

"what's going on?"

"What's the matter with publishing the five classics?"

"How did this happen? Why didn't we know anything before?"

"Why hasn't the person who inquired about the news returned yet?!"

They themselves are in a mess.

As time went by, more and more people rushed to register at Taixue, scrambling to enter Taixue to participate in studies, so as to alleviate the fear of the unknown.

Those who didn't think about going to Taixue almost all gathered to Mrs. Huan, hoping that Mrs. Huan could give them an explanation and figure out what was going on.

what happened?

Huan himself doesn't even know, how can he tell you what's going on?

Huan Dian had already sent people to the other four families to inquire about the situation, but they all refused to know anything.

Huan was completely isolated.

And those families who thought they were winning because they learned the same classics as the five major families also heard about this and tried to understand the situation, but they were also rejected by the four families and did not talk to them about any insider information.

The four major families just kept calling on the scholars to go to Taixue to sign up as soon as possible. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

The rest of the inheritance families looked at the situation with a confused face.

Then they rushed into Huan's mansion one after another, forcibly met the Huan family's talkers, and talked with them about this matter.

It turned out that Huan was also blind in both eyes.

They were all blind, and the scholars outside who didn't know what to do must be even more blind.

Many people who can't turn their minds around see that everyone around them is running to Taixue, so they rush to go to Taixue to sign up. After signing up, they are relieved and start to feel that something is wrong.

But regardless of whether they are right or wrong, they have already obtained the qualifications to study in Taixue, and they have a certain guarantee.

As for the result, we have to watch the after effects.

It’s just that right now, they regained their composure, and gathered in large numbers in the large square in front of the palace, and then went to watch the punctuated Five Classics that were made public.

They try to make sense of it.

Then I really saw something.

Scholars from top gentry families are still a minority.

Scholars from second-, third-, and even low-tier families are the majority.

After looking at it, they immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

The opportunity to overtake on a curve has come.

When the scholars realized that this opportunity had come, Huan finally realized it.

They reacted to find that they had been abandoned by the emperor and the other four families.

But what they don't know is what kind of interests the other four families are willing to hand over the crucial interpretation of the classics related to the family's centuries-old inheritance, and hand over the family's foundation to the emperor.

This is the core interest!

What benefits did they get from the emperor?

Right to the throne?

Did the emperor promise to hand over the throne to them?

What kind of benefits actually allow them to give up the right to interpret classics and teach?

Don't they know what that means?

Now that private schools are flourishing, private schools are the best choice for scholars to fight against the imperial power. Once they hand over the ownership of private schools and all enter some official schools to study, the scholars will completely become vassals of the imperial power and lose all possibility of independence!

What they learn, what they say, and what they use are all stipulated by the emperor, so how can they resist the emperor?

In the current situation, the emperor clearly wants to abolish private schools, promote official schools, seize the power of education, and destroy the years of hard work of the scholars!

More importantly, the foundation of the family is gone!

During the whole process of action, Mrs. Huan actually didn't know anything about it, never found out any information, didn't know why this matter started, and when it was settled.

All they know now is that it's too late. They were caught off guard by the emperor's alliance with the four major families, and they couldn't resist at all.

Huan's internal chaos became a pot of porridge.

Chapter 1171 One thousand and one hundred and eighty one There is always no shortage of business-minded people

At this moment, Luoyang is full of enemies and has no friends.

The people who could become friends outside Luoyang didn't know about it at all.

The Huan family was isolated and became an isolated island, an isolated island where nothing could be done.

The scholars who gathered at the gate of Huan's mansion kept leaving as time went by, and kept moving towards Taixue.

Mrs. Huan's delay in declaring his position and being unable to say anything made them feel that they had no idea, and they would not give up their future in order to be loyal to Mrs. Huan.

People kept coming to persuade them to go to Taixue, or friends, or relatives, telling them that if they didn't go to Taixue, it might be too late.

Will this work?

Certainly not.

So they gradually abandoned the Huan family and chose to go to Taixue to do something they could accept.

Nine of the fourteen families have been deposed, and now there are only five left, and four still support the emperor. Only the Huan family can say something and do something.

In fact, there are still many people who don't know what happened. The emperor's public decree can't explain the doubts in everyone's mind. Support and opposition are still just a concept.

The reason why I went to Taixue was because of the call of the other four major families.

The reason why I stay here is also because I was dissatisfied with the Taixue before, and because I was a disciple who joined the Huan family before, and there are other families who inexplicably won and lost their family inheritance.

Until the evening, when the curfew was on, the Huan family did not respond, so the people surrounding the Huan family's gate basically dispersed.

They knew that the Huan family could do nothing, and except for the scholars who were closely connected with the Huan family and could be taught closely by the Huan family's private school teachers, most of them were just a name.

It is also impossible for a private school teacher to teach every student completely. There are thousands of students, but there are only so many teachers. Often they just put on a name, which means that they have received education here and are students of this family.

It's over.

In general, it is similar to inner disciples, outer disciples and named disciples.

So where is reading instead of reading?

It's just another place to continue studying, so there is nothing wrong with abandoning the Huan family like this.

It was almost time to leave, but Huan still couldn't make any decision.

On the contrary, in the inner house, extremely fierce disputes erupted between the Huan family and the rest of the Liying family. Some people even scuffled each other, cursed each other for their inaction, and the children in the family kept crying all night long.

At curfew time, the guards stationed in the outer city and the imperial guards stationed in the inner city were fully mobilized to enforce the strict curfew order, and everyone was sent home.

After the curfew was lifted the next morning, no scholar came to Huan's gate.

A large number of scholars once again appeared on the main square of the palace, staring at the Five Classics marked with punctuation marks.

Watching and watching, more and more scholars came over with paper and pens to copy, their eyes were red and they kept writing, copying from morning to noon.

The hotel servants and small vendors who delivered the food felt that it was profitable, and they all gathered around to sell wine, vegetables and other snacks such as Hubing. The bursts of aroma stimulated the appetite of the scholars.

Then they swallowed their saliva to buy food, and kept copying while eating, wiped their mouths after eating, and continued to copy, from noon to sunset.

For seven consecutive days, the number of scholars who transcribed scriptures with punctuation marks in the palace square was so large that some poor students, Li Shu and Li Shu, ran out from the Imperial Academy to join the transcribing team, and the entire square was crowded. .
