The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chen Mo did not interfere too much with the Minutes of Three Studies, because he could not and could not intervene. The court almost became a battlefield. Every day in court, there were almost arguments surrounding the Minutes of Three Studies. The Minutes of Three Studies were It really jeopardized the fundamental interests of the wealthy family. This time, even the three ministers and nine ministers were involved. Even if Chen Mo had great power, he couldn't really ignore everything.

Liu Neng sat on the throne a little bored, watching the people lying down and arguing with red faces. He was a little helpless, and he couldn't get a word in. If these people are arguing, they are arguing. Can you not call yourself? He couldn't quite understand it. It seemed that what Mi Heng said made sense, but what Gongqing said seemed to be correct. The most thing Liu Neng said during the whole court meeting was: Ai Qing's words are reasonable.

Although he was starting to work hard now, the little ink in his chest was not enough to compete with these people. They cited scriptures one by one, as if they could not show their profound knowledge if they did not talk about it. At the beginning, Liu Neng came to participate with great interest, wanting to Here to mention He had a high status in the hearts of the scholars, but after a long time, these scholar-officials just put him aside and quarreled. Liu Neng now understood why Chen Mo had to take advantage of being busy with military affairs to miss the early morning court. In this situation, he was afraid that it would be too late You expected that, right?

"Your Majesty, the Minutes of the Three Studies are the root cause of harm to the country and must be eradicated!" The person who spoke was Tai Chang, who had forgotten what he meant.

Liu Neng nodded. This is the person he is wooing and must support: "What love says makes sense."

"Absurd!" Mi Heng swallowed his saliva. After arguing all morning, his mouth was a little dry. After taking a deep breath, Mi Heng said loudly: "The Minutes of the Three Studies divided the knowledge into categories and provided enough talents for the court. It’s better to have the protection Those who pretend to be scholars in the countryside in order to become officials, but in fact have no knowledge at all, are better off being pushed into official careers. The reason why Taichang is so opposed is probably because there are too many incompetent children in the clan, and he is worried that this move will ruin their future. !”

Mi Heng said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Three Learnings are actually a contribution to the present and beneficial to the future, but they are judged as the root of the country's harm by some incompetent and unscrupulous people. It is really ridiculous!"

"What you said seems to make sense." Liu Neng smiled a little reluctantly. He wanted to refute, but he remembered that when he refuted Mi Heng last time, he was asked by Mi Heng and almost forgot his ancestral name. Liu Neng said to Mi Heng I lost my temper, okay? He couldn't say it, or in other words, communicating in a scholar-official way, anyone present could say that he was speechless.

Just lift the table and chop him?

He can't lift it or chop it down. Now Liu Neng has experienced the previous setbacks and is now very good at being a man and can see the situation clearly. Not to mention whether his orders are carried out by anyone outside the palace, if the soldiers outside the palace ignore him at all , then he, the emperor, would be very embarrassed; even if he could beheaded, Chen Mo's reaction aside, the civil and military officials of the court would regard him as a foolish emperor, and it would really be of no use to bring the businessman's tricks to the court.

"Your Majesty, most of the colleges and universities in various places are the children of military officers and soldiers. Where did these officers and soldiers come from before joining the army? They were traffickers and pawns, farmers in the fields. How can such people become officials based only on the merits of their fathers? Is this the case? This act completely violates the ancestral law and is an act of great disrespect to the sages and should be eradicated!" This time it was the Shaofu who spoke.

"What you said is true. This ancestral law cannot be abolished." Liu Neng nodded. What the young man said seemed to be reasonable and well-founded.

"What a joke! What's wrong with the officers and soldiers of the army who sacrifice their lives to provide a good background for their heirs? They risked their lives for my great man, risking their lives regardless of it, just to protect the country and the people and make great contributions to the country. Why are their children? Can't have a career path? Speaking of origin, if you and I look back ten generations, how many of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are from the noble family?" Mi Heng couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, pointed at Wei and said: "In the past, the general Wei Qing was just a horseman, but now he is just a horseman. How resounding is the name of the Wei family in Hedong?"

Wei glanced at Mi Heng speechlessly, he hadn't spoken yet, why did he drag himself out? It feels quite innocent.

Mi Heng ignored him, saluted Liu Neng, and then looked at the Shaofu and said: "Besides, Shu Heng is not very talented and has little knowledge. He has read many books and does not know which ancestor set the ancestral law that the Shaofu mentioned." "Is there any reason for this? Which sage is this disrespectful to? Please tell me directly. If there is any mistake, I would like to apologize to you naked!"

After hearing this, the young master searched his intestines and stomach. This theory of birth is a rule that has gradually formed, but if you want to find an ancestor or sage who said it, you really can't find it.

"Although Heng is not talented, he has not done anything out of the ordinary, and he has never made any irresponsible remarks about our ancestors and sages. The Shaofu's left line of sages and the right line of ancestors, could it be that he is the Shaofu's ancestor? It's a pity that your ancestor is unknown, so I regard him as your ancestor. But he doesn’t deserve the name of such a sage. The Shaofu has always contributed to the livelihood of his ancestors. Is this how the Shaofu’s background came about?” Mi Heng refused to give in and looked at the Shaofu with a burning gaze.

"Pfft~" The young master let out a sigh of relief and pointed at Mi Heng. His face turned red, but he couldn't think of any words to refute. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his whole body became sluggish.

"Send the imperial doctor's order quickly!" Liu Neng shouted helplessly outside the palace. He was used to it. How many ministers was this mentioned by Mi Heng as vomiting blood? Liu Neng looked at Mi Heng, why can't such a talent be used by me? If he could be used by himself, Chen Mo would be so angry that he would spit out a few mouthfuls of blood every day. With all this vomiting, he might be dead.

Several guards came in from outside the palace and carried the person away skillfully.

As the debate continued, Liu Neng looked helplessly at the sky outside the hall. Never before had he wanted to see Chen Mo so much. If Chen Mo was here, he should be able to suppress Mi Heng, right?

Seeing that it was past noon, Liu Neng took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, rubbed his face, put a smile on his face and said: "My lords, it is past noon now, and I feel a lot of hunger in my belly. It just so happens that all the ministers are here, so come and have dinner with me."

In fact, he was just driving people away. Liu Neng was already thinking about whether he could pretend to be sick tomorrow and let them quarrel by themselves? But this time, the three ministers jointly asked me to come out to take charge of the overall situation. It would not be good if I would lose their face if I didn't come forward.

Naturally, the ministers would not be stupid enough to actually stay and dine with Liu Neng. They also knew that Liu Neng was politely chasing people away. If they continued to argue, there would be no results, so they quickly shook their heads politely.

"In this case, let's come here first today. What you said makes sense, but the specifics still need to be determined. After all, this academy was built by the general back then. If we want to completely abolish it, have you ever thought about it? What would General Guo think?" Liu Neng stood up and asked.

If he continues to quarrel about this matter in Zhaode Hall, he is afraid that he will go crazy. If you want to quarrel, go to the general to quarrel. Anyway, this is his business, I don't care!

The ministers were helpless. Chen Mo's whereabouts had been erratic in the past few days. He was at Hulao Pass, patrolling Hanoi, and even went to Yique Pass twice to check whether the city defenses were deficient. They also wanted to talk to Chen Mo for explanations, but they couldn't. Not many people!

"Retreat from the court~" The eunuch beside Liu Neng said loudly after receiving Liu Neng's instructions.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!" the ministers bowed.

Liu Neng stood up and left briskly. After leaving the hall, he felt much more relaxed in an instant.

"Where is the general now?" Liu Neng asked after leaving the hall.

"Back to Your Majesty." The eunuch trotted out and said, "I heard that the general's brother died of illness two days ago. The general went to Xingyang these two days. He said he wanted to pay homage to his brother, so he was not at court."

"Brother General? Is that Chen Ying's brother, Chen Deng, a famous scholar in Xuzhou?" Liu Neng turned his head and looked at the eunuch.

"Exactly."

"What a good time!" Liu Neng chuckled, turned around and strode away.

The news of Chen Deng's death was a bit sudden for Chen Mo. The person with the deepest relationship between Chen Mo and the Chen family was Chen Deng. When Chen Mo was still a military academy lieutenant in Xiyuan in Luoyang, it was because of Chen Deng's arrival that he rectified Chen Mo's name. People gradually accepted him because of his background, and Chen Deng helped find many of Chen Mo's talents. It can be said that Chen Deng helped Chen Mo a lot, and his relationship with Chen Mo was the best among the clan.

Although Chen Ying and Chen Cong are working here now, the relationship between the two and Chen Mo is more like that of superiors and subordinates, and the sense of intimacy among people of this race has faded away here.

Chen Deng died of illness when Liu Xie passed away last year. At that time, Chen Mo and Cao Cao were at war with each other. Later, the two sides set up checkpoints on the border to guard against each other, so the news never came. Now the relationship between the two families is temporarily closed due to Jizhou. After calming down a bit, the news came.

It must be uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable. Chen Deng's talent is considered to be the best among the people Chen Mo has ever seen, and he and Chen Mo also recognized each other sincerely. Now that Chen Deng is dead, Chen Mo naturally feels uncomfortable. It is impossible for him in Xuzhou After leaving, he took Chen Cong and Chen Ying to Xingyang, which was closer to Xuzhou, and worshiped eastward to pay homage to his brother who died young.

"My brother is excellent in both literature and military skills. If it weren't for God's jealousy of talents, his abilities would never be inferior to that of Guo Jia. It's a pity that he couldn't be reused by Cao Cao because of my affairs." After Chen Mo sent away Chen Ying and Chen Cong, Taking Xu Shu to live in Xingyang City, I still felt a little sorry for Chen Deng's death.

"My lord, this fate is determined by God and not by others!" Xu Shu also sighed. Although he had never met Chen Deng, he knew his name. His lord also respected his elder brother quite highly. He thought that There will be a day to meet, but now it seems that there is no chance.

"Maybe, I just don't want to say goodbye to Luoyang and it will be forever. I feel uncomfortable." Chen Mo believes in fate, but he doesn't believe that fate is determined by God. It's just that there is no point in arguing with others about this kind of thing. .

"Lord, this is a letter sent by someone from the imperial court." Dian Wei came in from the door and handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Chen Modao.

"Mostly to urge the lord to return to the court." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"I won't go back for the time being. I was shocked to hear the bad news about my brother. I am extremely sad. I really have no intention of participating in the government." Chen Mo did not look at the bamboo slips and put it down casually. Although he was outside, he basically knew everything that happened in the court. Now it is not When going back.
