Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

As soon as Liu Che's words fell, the eyes of everyone in the court hall fell on Dong Zhongshu faintly.After all, His Majesty's preference for Confucianism is obvious to all the courtiers. As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be done at the bottom.Now Dong Zhongshu's examination paper is clearly in Liu Che's favor, but how far he can persuade His Majesty to act depends on today's performance.

Han Yan casually looked up and saw that Xu Chang and the others moved their bodies slightly, she sneered in her heart, and then bowed her head in silence.

Dong Zhongshu heard His Majesty's question, thought it over, and said, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the people of Caomin have heard that the way the Holy King governs the world is to raise people's morals with honors and rewards, and to destroy people's evils with punishment. That's why people know what propriety and righteousness are, and they are ashamed to offend their superiors. Therefore, Xia, Shang and Zhou alternately stood up because the former did not win the hearts of the people, and the latter won the hearts of the people and became independent. Now Your Majesty has gained the world, but the merits have not been given to the people. Since ancient times, there is It is said that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If your Majesty wants to establish a foundation for eternity, he must govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, and win the hearts of the people."

"Then according to Dong Xuezi's opinion, what should His Majesty do to win the hearts of the people?" Zhuang Qingzhai asked without waiting for Liu Che to speak.

Hearing that Zhuang Qingdi had spoken, Liu Che frowned indistinctly, but what Zhuang Qingdi said was exactly what Liu Che wanted to ask, so he didn't scold him.He just looked at Dong Zhongshu and waved his hand to signal Dong Zhongshu to continue.

Dong Zhongshu paused, and continued: "Caomin thought that if His Majesty wanted to be virtuous to the common people, he had to raise men and seek talents. After all, those local officials are the ones who really govern a side. Only they are truly virtuous and talented, can they benefit On the one hand. But according to the grassroots, it is better to open a school than to raise talents and seek talents. A school is a place to cultivate talents and is the basis for promoting education. Build a school, hire knowledgeable people as teachers, and let them educate the people and students, and so on. In just ten years, the imperial court doesn’t have to worry about no one being available.”

"That's no different from Han Yan messing up the military academy!" Zhou Yafu interrupted Dong Zhongshu's words in a rough voice. "Your Majesty held this recruitment to get real talents. If you can't say something new and insightful, then don't waste everyone's time."

All the courtiers couldn't help laughing at the one sentence, and the sound of "噗噗" could be heard everywhere.Now that Emperor Jing has just made a big fortune, there are many schools of thought in the court, and because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager, there are fewer officials of the Confucian school.What's more, the princes and ministers who can stand in the Xuanshi Hall are all well-informed and thoughtful people.There are various interests involved behind him.The word "compromise" is the word that is most familiar and accepted by each other.I am even more disgusted with the fallacies that Dong Zhongshu and other Confucian scholars privately advocated to "dispose of all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

It's just that he was concerned about Liu Che's emotions, so he didn't dare to say more.But Zhou Yafu's situation is different.Not to mention his well-known violent temper in Emperor Jing's reign, but just because of his meritorious service in the beginning, Liu Che couldn't say much about some trivial matters.What's more, Zhou Yafu is still the grandfather of Han Yan, a doctor of the Taizhong. In the past few years, he has been obedient to his grandson's words, which is also in accordance with his rights.Now, after hearing Zhou Yafu's teasing, most people have a good idea of ​​Han Yan's attitude.This kind of cognition made everyone feel a little more at ease——

At least, His Majesty should not blindly follow those sour scholars' advocacy regardless of everything!

Let’s say that Dong Zhongshu’s face was reddened by Zhou Yafu’s sarcasm. He is also considered a master of Confucianism. When he was teaching elsewhere, others were respectful and respectful.Can't help a mouthful of old blood stuck in the throat, pointed at Zhou Yafu with a trembling withered arm, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you—"

Zhou Yafu looked at the finger pointing in front of him, and frowned dissatisfied.He shouted loudly: "Bold, how dare you insult the high officials of the imperial court in such a white body. Arrogant and arrogant, is this your Confucian etiquette?"

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhongshu, who was ashamed and angry, suddenly came back to his senses.Only then did I realize that I am not an official of the imperial court now, but just a student participating in the palace examination.Unable to help being horrified, he knelt down in front of Liu Che with a fallen jade pillar, and said in a shameful voice: "The grassroots are rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After Liu Che read Dong Zhongshu's test paper, he still had great expectations for Dong Zhongshu.After all, the article was written with gorgeous rhetoric and twists and turns.It can be called a classic in a subtle way.But when I actually met myself, I found that this person's appearance was not outstanding.He asked a few questions, and although the answers were well-founded, most of them were plagiarism. Now it seems that his temperament is too reckless and impulsive, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility.

It's just that after all, this person is someone I wholeheartedly admire, so if he retreats like this anticlimactically, his face will not look good.Immediately, he gave a distasteful smile, and reluctantly said: "Dong Zhongshu is a poor boy, it is inevitable that he will be at a loss for the first time. I forgive you for your innocence."

"Caomin thank Your Majesty for your grace." Dong Zhongshu kowtowed in thanks.

The court hall was extremely quiet, Xu Chang and the others lowered their brows and narrowed their eyes, looking contemptuously at Dong Zhongshu from time to time, exchanging a tacit look with each other.Liu Che saw it in his eyes and was annoyed in his heart.Dong Zhongshu's thought of dismissing Dong Zhongshu suddenly faded, and he asked in a deep voice: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various schools of thought have had their own disputes about the means of governing the country. Whether to govern the country by law or by Confucianism , or Huang Lao's rule of inaction, which one can rule the prosperity of the ages?"

Everyone was startled, and Zhuo Zhuo immediately looked at Liu Che.Feeling impolite again the next moment, he suddenly lowered his head, and immediately looked at Dong Zhongshu without a trace.

Dong Zhongshu originally thought that his meeting today would be so useless.Who would have thought that His Majesty would ask such a question unexpectedly.His thoughts were racing, and he subconsciously glanced at the full hall of civil and military ministers.Knowing that if one's opinion is spoken out in the open, a large number of people will be offended.But looking at Liu Che's expressionless and solemn expression, he thought he had guessed the emperor's mind, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Naturally it is better to govern the country with Confucianism."

"Why do you know?" Wei Wan couldn't help asking.It attracted the attention of Xu Chang and others.

Dong Zhongshu pondered for a moment, and answered word by word: "The grassroots read the history books and found that most of the dynasties followed the old ways, advocating that the sky and the way should not change. But if there was no Shang Yang's reform in the beginning, how could there be a unified world later? I If Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty hadn’t broken the chaotic government of the Qin Dynasty, how could there be a prosperous and prosperous world today. In short, if there is no destruction, there will be no establishment. Now the Han Dynasty inherits the Qin system, but Qin II died. It can be seen that the rule of the Qin Dynasty is not the best Yes. Therefore, Your Majesty should change the course and use the method of unifying the world to govern the world. The grassroots study "Spring and Autumn", this book is advocating the unification of the world. Nowadays, the theories of different schools have different opinions and ideas. If the theories of a hundred schools of thought cannot be unified, the monarch has no way Therefore, Caomin suggested to His Majesty that we should unify the thoughts of the people all over the world, and that all theories that do not belong to the six arts should be prohibited from spreading, and then the theories should be unified. Only in this way can the monarch’s decrees be clear and the subjects can follow them.”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Chang couldn't bear it any longer, and asked in a cold voice.

Dong Zhongshu glanced at the courtiers around him, and his scalp tightened.However, thinking of the admiration he would receive from all ages after the event is completed, he immediately ignored it and gritted his teeth and said: "Caomin implore Your Majesty, depose all schools of thought, and only respect Confucianism. Anyone who learns the art of Shen Buhai, Shang Yang, Han Fei, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi Officials expelled from the court will not be used at all!"

"Fart!" Zhou Yafu was the first who couldn't help it, and immediately jumped out and pointed at Dong Zhongshu's nose and cursed: "Don't think that you can give advice to the world after reading two books. You are still hiding in your old lady's crotch. Now that you want to drive us out of the court with just one word, what do you think you are, I'm sorry!"

Xu Chang and the others also turned black with anger, but they were still not as rampant as Zhou Yafu.Immediately bowed and knelt down, and shouted: "I implore Your Majesty to throw this mad Confucian Dong Zhongshu out of the court, and never hire him."

"The minister waits for reconsideration!"

As soon as the words fell, the people in the hall cheered and knelt on the ground.Even Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin knelt down without saying a word.The remaining twenty or so students were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they quickly knelt down on the ground.

Liu Che looked at the backs of the courtiers with gloomy eyes.Now he is not the isolated and helpless Emperor Wu of Han in history.With the help of Han Yan, Liu Che had already won over all the forces of the Han army and some more radical and loyal family officials.Although the young emperor, who sat in a relatively stable seat, was keen to change his ways and make a big career.But this does not mean that he has to turn his back on those who really support him.Seeing that Dong Zhongshu's suggestion was of no benefit now, instead it would blow up the court like a hornet's nest, and even the generals who supported him as well as the courtiers with ulterior motives unanimously opposed him, and his heart became more and more unhappy.At the same time, he was also secretly vigilant that his rights were not enough, and there was no way to achieve the level of obeying orders.Subconsciously clenched his hands under the wide-sleeved robe, Liu Che couldn't help but think of Han Yan's persuasion that day, and sighed in his heart.Sure enough, you still can't act too hastily!

However, he finally adapted to the role of emperor, and his heart gradually deepened.Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, it didn't show on his face.After seeing that the officials were no longer so excited, he eased his tone and said slowly: "Dong Zhongshu is a master of Confucianism. He is devoted to the study of knowledge and has a relatively pure mind. It is inevitable that he will be a little jerky in human affairs. Dear friends You are well-informed, so don't be offended."

"Your Majesty is holy." As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, Han Yan's cold voice sounded from behind.After hearing this, everyone subconsciously followed suit and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Che was delighted, glanced at Han Yan appreciatively, raised his hand and said, "All my lovers, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd complied loudly, and then got up and returned to their seats.

After such a play, Dong Zhongshu finally saw what it means to be a courtier and a member of the court, and what it means to be united as one.It can also be regarded as a little bit of awareness of how unpopular his own claims are.Thinking of the possible consequences after leaving the court, he also looked a bit ashen.For a while, he became somewhat obsequious.When Liu Che saw it, he became more and more disappointed.

A pair of calm eyes looked at the other twenty or so students casually, and found that Gongsun Hong, Yan Zhu and others he was optimistic about were all panicked.Thinking of myself and Han Yan praising these people last night for being "very good-looking", I couldn't hold back on my face.

Finally, I scanned to the last right corner, a 27-year-old, handsome, handsome young man.Finding that this young man couldn't help being calm, with a slight smile on his face, clear eyes, and a confident and unrestrained demeanor exuding his whole body, Liu Che couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"What's your name?" Liu Che asked with interest.

When the young man heard the words, he immediately bowed and knelt down and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the grass people hate Dongfang Shuo."
