After a long time, Sima Huicai sighed and said: "At the time of Wang Mang, at the beginning of the watch, the world was in chaos, rituals and music fell apart, and the classics were in ruins... Fortunately, Guangwu Zhongxing, who also loved the scriptures, didn't get off the bus. First, we visited the refined scholars, picked up missing texts, and corrected the omissions. Then there were doctors of the Five Classics, who taught the classics and latitudes of various schools, such as Fan, Chen, Zheng, Du, Wei, Huan, etc., and they gathered one after another. What a flourishing literary scene..."
Sima Hui raised his head slightly, as if imagining the situation back then. After a moment, he slowly said: "In the past, Yi Youshi, Meng, Liangqiu, Jingshi, Shuyou Ouyang, Xiaoxiahou, Shiyou Mao, Qi, Lu, Han, there are big and small Dai in Li, Qing's, Yan in Spring and Autumn, Yan, etc., all the great scholars are sitting in the hall, looking at the clouds and mists, Qi Piyong is lecturing on the classics, and the cowards are holding on to the classics and asking questions. There are billions of people who are wearing the official title and are watching and listening at the gates of gardens and bridges... They are so generous and overwhelming! What an honor..."
"Now..." Sima Hui turned to look at Sima Yi, "How much is there?"
Sima Yi was silent.
"Let's not talk about poetry..." Sima Hui excluded the "Book of Songs" first, because the "Book of Songs" was like an enlightenment book in the eyes of those who studied scriptures in the Han Dynasty, especially Mao's poems. It is widely circulated among the people, and even those in the countryside who can recognize a few words can say a few sentences. Therefore, basically everyone knows the Book of Songs, and those who do not understand the Book of Songs are equivalent to being illiterate.
"...Among the aristocratic families, in terms of writing, only the Yang family is the only one; in terms of Yi, only the Xun family is the only one; in terms of etiquette, the Ma family is the only one who passed it on to Lu and Zheng. Now Lu Gong is dead. Then only the Zheng family is left; if we look at the Spring and Autumn Period, only Cai Gong's complete work is passed down to the Fei family... The other families also study the classics, or have no inheritance, or are not famous, so why?" Sima Hui closed his eyes, and his voice He became more and more depressed, "One is a family accident, the other is that the teachings are not human, the third is that there is no book to pass on... Let me ask Erlang, does the Sima family have an advantage? Today's learning in Hanoi, poetry, books, etiquette and Yi, all belong to the Zheng family. , If things go on like this, how can the Sima family gain a foothold? You are talented and intelligent, and you have always been calm. How come you are today..." (Note to this chapter)
Sima Yi lowered his head and said after a while: "...nephew... you are wrong." Sima Yi was not sure why he felt the inexplicable anger in his heart after noticing the somewhat disappointed look in the eyes of General Fei Qian. Come on. Maybe it’s because you’re used to being praised at home, but when you meet in person you feel left out and there’s a big gap? Or maybe it’s because your uncle talks better than your father, so some of your suppressed personality is exposed?
Zheng Xuan was not only good at the Book of Rites, but also dabbled in Shangshu, Spring and Autumn Annals, Yi Jing, etc. He also blended ancient and modern texts into his own school, which is called Zheng Xue. Strictly speaking, although Zheng Xuan studied under Ma Rong, a great Confucian who was interested in the study of ancient classics, took the path of modern classics. As a result, when Zheng Xuan was about to leave after finishing his studies, Ma Rong faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he sent people to prepare to capture Zheng Xuan, but he failed to catch him. …
Jinwen Jingxue was originally a way for the great Confucian scholars to expound and explain the meaning of the scriptures, and to teach the scriptures in written or oral form. And what Zheng Xuan is doing now is actually just like those scholars who studied Jinwen Jingxue in previous years. Like the great Confucian scholars, they are commenting on various ancient classics. Although they have removed some prophecies from modern classics, on the one hand, they also make these ancient and profound and obscure texts easier to understand, but to a certain extent If his personal thoughts and concepts are mixed in, or his personal interpretation and annotation of certain scriptures, in Sima Hui's eyes, he is basically no different from a rebel in ancient classics.
You, Zheng Xuan, can say that this is how I personally understand this passage. The general idea is that there is nothing wrong with it. However, I cannot help but talk about why I understand it this way and on what basis I understand it. As a result, such omission has led many people to think that the scripture is
Wen should be understood as Zheng Xuan said. Isn't this the same as those modern Confucian classics scholars who mislead the disciples when they dictated the sutras orally?
Sima Hui wanted to reverse this situation, but people in the Han Dynasty were more pragmatic. Just like the saying in later generations, if you can do it, go ahead, if you can't, don't do it. Sima Hui wanted to seize Zheng Xuan's right to speak, but found out that he had something hard in his hands.
nothing.
Most people actually know that not all of Zheng Xuan's knowledge may be correct, but the problem is that it is convenient in Zheng Xuan. If you have questions about the Book of Changes, you can ask them, and if you have questions about etiquette, you can also ask for advice from Shangshu, Spring and Autumn Period.
You can ask for anything, instead of having to go to various counties and find different aristocratic families like before. After comparing the two, naturally more people are willing to gather under Zheng Xuan's name.
And what does it mean when these people come together?
This means that most potential officials in the future will learn from the Zheng family!
Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty were the invisible ladder to official positions.
Such a situation was certainly not what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to see, so Emperor Guangwu simply changed the Ancestral Temple to make it clear that you are on your side of the chariot and horses, and I am on this side. Although they are all water from the Han Dynasty, but the water from the well is
Don't mess with the river water.
When Emperor Guangwu was in court, whenever he discussed national affairs involving people's livelihood and government affairs, he would have active and heated discussions with his ministers on Confucian classics. They would discuss from the time the sun rose to the time when the sun set. In the process, they would naturally develop mutual understanding of each other.
When arguing, if someone does not understand the classics and meanings, then directly "seize the person's seat to help those who understand" on the spot.
At that time, there was a man named Dai who was serving as a minister. He always stood during every court meeting and refused to sit down. Guangwu also felt strange and asked why. Then the minister Dai said that he was "not as experienced as the ministers, but he dared not be among them."
"", there is a folk song in Luoyang that says, "Execution of the Scriptures is endless and Dai Shizhong". Therefore, in such an atmosphere, which minister would slack off in studying the Scriptures?
At present, Confucian classics has become an invisible benchmark among aristocratic families. Among these aristocratic families, the most successful in learning and becoming an official is the Hongnong Yang family.
After giving Yang Biao a succession of talents, it became a matter of course for him to pass on his family knowledge and ascend to the imperial court. It is precisely because of this that the Yang family became a benchmark for all noble families.
Obviously, the Zheng family is prepared to follow this path. It only takes one or two generations to accumulate. Even if Zheng Xuan is stronger, when the Yuan family is about to succeed, they will naturally become prosperous. The Sima family, who also governs the Book of Rites,
But Zheng Xuan had forced him to have no way out.
Sima Hui shook his head and said nothing more.
"Uncle..." Sima Yi said hesitantly, "My nephew once heard that my uncle gave him a name to strengthen his power before the expedition to the west... There should be some affection for him..."
Sima Hui nodded and said: "The so-called affection, only human affection can have affection. If there is no affection, how can there be affection? Zhengxi said that it will take two or three days, so after two or three days... we must not mess up the sense of proportion.
Don’t act recklessly!”
Sima Yi lowered his head: "My nephew understands..."
…………………………
Fei Qian left the academy and returned to Pingyang City.
Fei Qian was not planning Sima Hui, but he felt that Sima Hui seemed to be arranging everyone as if they were chess pieces from the beginning...
Phoenix chick.
Wolong.
And Yin Kun.
Do you understand it from the front, of course it is good, but what about the other way around? If a phoenix does not grow hair all its life, isn't it just a shedding chicken?
"Mr. Shui Jing lives in the academy. Is it arranged by you, Youruo?" Fei Qian sat down and looked at Xun Chen. After all, after Fei Qian left Pingyang, Xun Chen was like a great housekeeper. If it weren't for Xun Chen
Chen nodded, Linghu Shao, who was above the academy, did not dare to make any independent decisions.
Xun Chen looked at Fei Qian's expression and said, "That's right. Is there anything wrong with that?" Mr. Shui Jing was also considered a well-known figure. He placed it in the academy to show that it was only for learning and condolences, and had no involvement.
Government affairs, this way would not make the Sima family in Hanoi feel embarrassed when they met Yuan Shao. On the other hand, it also showed their importance and respect, and took care of Mr. Shui Jing's face. After all, he had taken care of Fei Qian one or two back then.
It can be regarded as some kindness to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian was silent for a moment and said noncommittally: "Let's leave it like this for now... What's the latest situation in Hanzhong, Sanfu and Heluo?" Fei Qian knew in his heart that Sima Hui's visit was definitely not just for what he said.
I wanted to express my condolences to Cai Yong and bring a letter with me, but since Sima Hui didn't say anything, Fei Qian let it go for now.
The important thing is that Mr. Pang De did not mention it in the letter. This shows that Mr. Pang De neither supports nor opposes Mr. Pang De. Everything is decided by Fei Qian himself. At the same time, he does not want Fei Qian to take advantage of Mr. Pang De.
What kind of promises are made on behalf of others?
Pang Degong's health may not be as bad as stated in the letter, otherwise Pang Tong might have resigned and returned to Jingxiang...
Although the reason why Duke Pang De didn't come was not stated clearly, Fei Qian guessed that in addition to physical factors, there might be two reasons.
Firstly, the Jingxiang gentry did not agree. After all, the Jingxiang gentry had been married to each other for many years, and they had long been in a relationship where one loss meant both were prosperous. And Pang Degong was the leader of the Jingxiang gentry. How could he leave Jingxiang without permission and go to Pingyang to give Fei a favor?
Hidden support?
Secondly, Pang Degong is one of the best people in Jingxiang. If he really comes to Pingyang, will Cai be the main one, Fei Qian will be the main one, or Pang will be the main one? In order to avoid hurting our feelings,
It's better not to come.
Another point is that Pang Degong himself is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune. If the Jingxiang gentry did not really need a big name to support them in front of them, Pang Degong would have retired a long time ago, instead of being in a semi-hidden state like now.
Fei Qian actually invited Mr. Pang De, not thinking that Mr. Pang De would actually come. He just wanted to express his attitude that Bingbei is developing very well, and people from Jingxiang and Jingxiang are welcome to visit...
It's a pity that the people in Jingxiang seem to be more interested in Hanzhong. After all, is it geographically closer? Or maybe they feel that the gentry in Hanzhong are not strong, and they have to pick a soft persimmon even if they are pinched?
"Hanzhong is also stable. Governor Liu plans to enter Sichuan, but there is insufficient money, food and soldiers, so he can only stay in Hanzhong and run around..." Since Fei Qian did not comment on Sima Hui for the time being, Xun Chen did not hesitate. Anyway, if there is any problem, then he will
He could make some adjustments, so he pulled out a wooden slip from his sleeve, handed it to Fei Qian, and said, "... In addition, the Ma family of Yicheng has arrived in Hanzhong with 800 men and horses, and has been recruited as Hanzhong's slave.
, taking charge of the taxation matter in Sangzi..."
"Yicheng Ma family?" Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembered a person, and blurted out, "But Ma Jichang?"
"Ma Jichang? Who is he?" Xun Chen blinked and asked, "My lord is a member of the Ma family in Yanyicheng? The person's surname is Ma Heng and his given name is Shuchang, not Jichang."
"Uncle Chang, Ji Chang... um..." Fei Qian nodded and explained, "I once heard that Jichang of the Ma family was intelligent and virtuous, so I asked this question... I must be a brother, let's talk about it then... Hmm? Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang
?!"
Fei Qian's hand holding the wooden slip couldn't help but tremble.
""
"The thief Cao under the sect?" Fei Qian suppressed his excitement, sipped his teeth, and said after considering it, "It is said that this person is highly skilled in martial arts and good at fighting. Friends, you may wish to pay more attention. If he has any merits, he should be
No reward."
Although a thief Cao under his command is indeed too small for Wei Yan, the problem is that Fei Qian is now the leader of the entire Bingbei interest group, and he cannot be awarded an exceptional reward just because of a name. Even in later generations,
No one likes to have someone suddenly get stuck in front of their home in a company or public institution. If they already have a thick and indisputable resume, then an unknown young general suddenly appears.
Getting to a high position may not be a good thing for both parties.
Even if the airborne troops have the ability to light up three fires and get rid of the shaving of their heads to improve the morale of the army, in fact, from a certain perspective, it is actually a kind of internal friction. If something goes wrong during the running-in period, the generals and soldiers cannot be single-minded, which will cause losses.
Well, who does it belong to? Brother Zhu vigorously used Ma Su in those years, but as a result, his power was too heavy, and Wang Ping and others were not convinced. It was probably a small screw that was lost in the battle of Jieting.
If Wei Yan's family is prominent, then meet and have a sit-down discussion. On the one hand, it means that Fei Qian is willing to accept it, and on the other hand, it means that a certain family force is willing to invest later. Then when Fei Qian is short of talents, give him a higher salary.
Others regard the official position as worth a thousand pieces of gold and horse bones, and they don't have much objection, but the question is, is Wei Yan...
It's just a poor family, not even a poor family. The poor family has a door anyway. Wei Yan doesn't even have a window, so he was suddenly given a high position. What else would it be if it wasn't a harm to Wei Yan? Back then, Liu Bei fought against everyone's opinions and gave Wei Yan the position of Hanzhong Prefect.
, made Wei Yan successful, but also laid many hidden dangers for Wei Yan.
Give enough opportunities, don't hold back if you have meritorious deeds, focus on rewards, that's enough. If Wei Yan has this strength, sooner or later he will walk in front of Fei Qian.
Xun Chen nodded in agreement. What Fei Qian said was correct and there was no reason not to agree. However, Xun Chen thought that Fei Qian had heard of Wei Yan. On the one hand, he lamented that Fei Qian's intelligence organization seemed to be getting bigger and bigger now.
I was kept in the dark, and I felt a little awe-struck. On the other hand, I also felt a little conflicted. Since Feiqian has such a powerful intelligence agency, why do they still seem to be unaware of many things?
This General Zhengxi is really more and more difficult to see through...
