: Rebellious Officials and Traitors

When Zhang Yue led his troops back to Yanran Mountain, Geng Shu had already built a city at the foot of Yanran Mountain.

This city is very different from the cities usually built by the Han Dynasty.

The area of ​​​​this city is actually not small, but its city wall is only less than two feet (Hanzhang) high.

There is neither a moat nor a moat outside the city.

Although the beacon tower and observation tower are built, they are simplified versions and do not have much defensive power.

"Your Majesty, how is this city?"

Geng Shu took Zhang Yue to visit the built city and asked with a smile.

Zhang Yue looked around with satisfaction, "This city is easy to attack but difficult to defend. Good! Great good!"

Geng Shu asked, "When do you think it's best for you to return to the army?"

Zhang Yue smiled and joked: "What, Geng Hou is missing the boy at home?"

Geng Shu said with a smile: "That boy is not used to being a lawful master... If I am not here, I am afraid that he will go to the house to unveil the tiles..."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yue laughed a lot and then said: "That boy in your family is not young anymore. It's time to teach him well!"

Geng Shu said: "I have this intention. After returning to Yiwu this time, I intend to send him to Luntai Official School... What do you think?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Why don't Marquis Geng be sent to the Imperial Academy in Chang'an... There are all learned scholars in the Imperial Academy..."

Hearing this, Geng Shu said disdainfully: "The erudite scholars are just some rotten scholars..."

"If my son follows their tricks, he will be nothing more than a useless loser the next day!"

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "There is also some useful knowledge in Taixue..."

Geng Shu shook his head and said: "How can that little knowledge compare to my Luntai official school!"

Although Zhang Yue felt that Geng Shu's words were a bit biased, they were generally not bad.

…

Doctors in Taixue and a group of virtuous writers are holding discussions.

"Nowadays, many scholars from various places want to enter the library but do not want to enter our Imperial College. What do you think should be done?"

The one who spoke was Lianyang Hou Jiangde, who had the highest status among the doctors of Taixue today.

Jiang De was originally just a stingy man. During the late emperor's reign, Gongsun Yong and others rebelled in Huaiyang.

Jiang De happened to capture Gongsun Yong and others during his meeting, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Lianyang in the second year of Zhenghe.

After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he held the post of Taichang. In the sixth year of the First Yuan Dynasty, a fire broke out in Emperor Wen's temple and he was dismissed from office.

After Jiang De was dismissed from office, he was attracted by Xian Liang Literature in order to reinstate him.

The previous virtuous literature advocated returning the great government, and Jiang De also actively cooperated.

After the rebellion by Wang Kai, Xu Jiang and others, Jiang De became a doctor due to the expansion of doctors.

Because of his status as a prince, he quickly became a leading figure in Chang'an's virtuous literature.

As soon as Jiang De said this, everyone was quite angry.

Taixue was originally supposed to be the highest academic institution in the Han Dynasty, governing all the schools in the world, but now the library seems to be on an equal footing with Taixue. How can we convince all the wise doctors?

If the turmoil caused by the assassination of Du Ling in the previous episode had not been too great, the sages sitting here would have arranged for the dead men to take action.

At this time, Liu Changle, who had just been moved to Guanglu Doctor, said:

"Tai Xue is the foundation of the country, but now Du Ling, who deceives the world and steals his reputation, has climbed above us. It is extremely hateful... I should write a letter to impeach this person..."

"No way, Mr. Liu!"

At this time, Dr. Han Fu immediately stood up and objected: "Mr. Liu, Du Ling is backed by the general and the Marquis of Yunyang. If he directly opposes it, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the public..."

Dr. Wang Fang also said: "Du Ling is also friends with the right general and the prime minister... I am afraid it will not be easy to impeach this person!"

Liu Changle said: "Others are afraid of Huo Guang, Zhang Yue...but not me...if they dare to kill me, it will allow the world to see clearly the faces of these two thieves..."

Liu Changle's words shocked everyone.

Jiang De even stepped forward and blocked Liu Changle's mouth: "Liu Gong, be careful what you say..."

At this time, everyone regretted calling Liu Changle here for discussion.

Liu Changle was still dissatisfied at this time, but he still lowered his voice: "I am a clan member, what can Huo Guang and others do to me!"

Liu Changle, who had just entered Chang'an, seemed to be unclear about the current situation in Chang'an.

Jiang De sighed and lowered his voice to Liu Changle: "Although Mr. Liu is a clan relative, how does he compare to Princess Gai?"

Liu Changle said: "Zhu Gai, King Yan, and others want to rebel... How can I compare them with Mr. and Mrs.... They are all virtuous men of the Han Dynasty... They are all for the Han Dynasty..."

Jiang De sighed and said: "That being said...but there is no need to blame others...think about Duke Xu and the prince..."

Liu Changle was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that Xu Ren is the master? There really is something hidden about Wang Kai!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Liu Changle and felt as if they were looking at a fool.

Han Fu said helplessly: "Gai Zhu and others are indeed plotting rebellion, but... they were all forced by Huo Guang, Zhang Yue and other rebellious officials and traitors!"

After Han Fu explained, Liu Changle nodded.

However, everyone complained in their hearts that such a person could actually serve as Doctor Guanglu.

These people can all be officials of Guanglu, so why can't a certain person serve as one of the three ministers and nine ministers?

Liu Changle saw everyone's expressions, and a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang De coughed at this time and said: "Young masters, you should think about how to defeat Du Ling and his library!"

Wang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we invite Du Ling to come to Taixue to debate scriptures?"

Dr. Feng Zidu heard this and said in support: "This is a good idea!"

Doctor Lu You sighed at this time and said: "Du Ling is unparalleled in eloquence. It is not easy to defeat him!"

Feng Zidu said: "Why should Lu Gong have other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige? Although Du Ling is strong, there is only one person... We and all the sages are here, why should we be afraid of him alone..."

Jiang De frowned slightly at this time and said: "Du Ling is not the only one in the library... Zhang Kun of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion... he has also gathered many people from poor families..."

Feng Zi said indifferently: "That Zhang Kun is just a bastard... the rest of the world is just a lowly person... how can he be compared with all the virtuous people like us?"

At this time, Wang Fang also spoke out to support Feng Zidu: "What Feng Jun said is true... We are all from a family of Confucian scholars... If we are debating Confucian classics, why should we be afraid of Du Ling!"

After Wang Fang spoke out, everyone also spoke out in support of Du Ling's debate.

"After three days of this, I will declare a challenge to Du Ling!"

Finally Jiang De also agreed to debate the scriptures with Du Ling.

…

After the meeting, all the doctors left one after another, and Liu Changle also returned to his home.

After returning home, Liu Changle seemed to be a different person.

He quickly came to the study and wrote down everything that happened today on a piece of paper.

After writing, he rolled up the paper and put it into a small bamboo tube, and sealed it with wax.

Then he called a confidant and handed the bamboo tube into his hands.

"Send this to the West Market immediately..."

"promise!"

The confidant agreed and immediately went out.

At the second watch, the bamboo tube had already arrived on Zhang Kun's case.

"Interesting, these doctors actually want to argue with Du Gong... Haha!"

After Zhang Kun read it, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Ming Gong, do you need to inform Duke Du about this matter?"

The Qianniu Wei Bai general on the side asked.

Zhang Kun waved his hand: "Du Gong is a gentleman... Please don't taint Du Gong's ears about this matter..."

"Ming Gong, servants and others may need a helping hand to Duke Du!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun checked a few cases: "No need for the moment, I'll just keep an eye on these people for a while..."

"In front of Du Gong, this person is just a chicken and a dog... Just prevent this person from cheating..."

"promise!"
