Xun Chen left, leaving behind Fei Qian whose head became more and more like a ball of paste.
What were the academic disputes like in later generations?
In later generations, there were five major conflicts in the history of science. The first game between Galileo and the Catholic Church was the first violent conflict between science and religion. It was quite like one man versus a thousand; the second game between Newton and Huygens, the two eldest brothers took the younger brother and started optics.
The dispute lasted four hundred years and directly triggered the origin of quantum mechanics; the third time it was Newton versus Leibniz, which was the first time in the history of science that there was a decades-long dispute over priority; the fourth game was between Voltaire and Leibniz.
Needham's debate on the origin of life was the only major quarrel in which the party with the wrong academic view finally won. It can be called a shocking reversal, and has always been the favorite of the face-slapping faction; in the fifth game, Huxley faced off against the Bishop of Oxford.
It is the first time in the history of science that there has been a fight. It is a precedent in both form and content. It is very interesting...
But none of them seem to be as powerful as the fight in the Han Dynasty!
If what Fei Qian guessed was true, then almost the entire Chinese people were involved in this massive academic debate, either actively or passively.
This is really a headache.
But soon, there was no biggest headache, only a bigger headache...
A guard hurriedly came to the hall, lowered his head to report, and handed over a letter of greeting: "A man calls himself Pang Xi and Pang Ziren, and he wants to see you!"
Pang Xi?
Who?
Don't recognize...
Fei Qian took it and looked at it, only to see that there were only four words "Yilang Pang Xi" written in the place where the name was signed, and nothing else.
After looking over it twice, I couldn't tell anything about the small wooden sign. But after all, it was a visit, not a badge of honor. Fei Qian thought about it and agreed to meet for one more time.
Since it was a meeting, it was better for everyone to carry the sedan chair, so Fei Qian did not just sit in the hall and wait, but got up and went to the courtyard gate. Not long after, the bodyguard led a middle-aged man
people came closer.
Men in the Han Dynasty began to grow beards when they had beards, and there were no skin care creams or repair lotions like in later generations, so they generally looked older than their actual age, just like Fei.
Qian himself has now grown a soft beard on his chin, but looking at the development momentum of his beard, I am afraid that there is no hope for a so-called beautiful beard.
However, the man in front of me does have a good beard. Although it is not as cool and unrestrained as the so-called five long strands, there are still three strands floating in the air, giving him a somewhat free and easy atmosphere.
Pang Xi came forward, bowed and said that he had met Fei Hou, as if he was a low-ranking official in the imperial court who had met his superior. However, it was not flattering, because Fei Qian was still Guang Luxun in all seriousness, and he happened to be one of these big men.
The so-called boss of the Langguan clan, so Pang Xi's behavior is not too much...
The two met the ceremony, and Fei Qian welcomed Pang Xi into the lobby. After the guests and the host were seated, Pang Xi said a few polite words and then revealed a piece of news that surprised Fei Qian.
Pang Xi turned out to represent the underground forces in Chang'an that opposed Li Guo... Well, how should I put it, that's what it meant anyway. He was going to find Fei Qian to carry out an impossible mission to rescue the emperor and Bai from the Chang'an government and the public.
official!
And what Pang Xi said was very clear. To put it simply, in the name of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, to isolate Li Guo and his soldiers, he only needed to summon some brave and loyal guards, and then they could
At the time of offering sacrifices to heaven, Li and Guo were directly captured and beheaded on the spot just as they were against Dong Zhuo!
What Fei Qian had to do was to cooperate with the Heaven Sacrifice Operation as soon as possible, bring the soldiers to the vicinity of Chang'an, suppress the Xiliang soldiers who were leaderless and in chaos because of the death of Li Guo, and restore order in Chang'an and Kyoto.
, and you’re done...
Of course, there are many details that Pang Xi did not explain very clearly, but from the words, it seems that Pang Xi has already formed an alliance, or the underground party in Chang'an... Ahem, people who support the Han Emperor have already
Together, we are all working together for this huge event.
It must be said that the emperor worshiped heaven, which was a relatively good reason.
After all, this is a fine tradition of the Chinese emperors. As early as before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there was already such a royal activity.
The so-called offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Of course, such sacrificial activities cannot be carried out in the city or indoors. They must go to an open area, a mountain top, or an altar. Sacrifice to heaven is a very formal activity. The so-called "major events of the country, must be carried out in an open area, a mountain top, or an altar."
"Sacrifice and military service." Sacrifice is even more important than military use.
And it’s okay to say sacrifices at this time. Although the time for heaven and earth to worship together in the first month has passed, it makes sense to hold a grain praying ceremony for the sake of the world’s agricultural affairs. Since it is a sacrifice to heaven and earth, it is impossible to let ordinary soldiers mess up.
Come and interfere with the entire memorial activity, and during the sacrifice, in order to ensure the standard and completeness of the etiquette, some honor guards and some teams carrying animals and offerings are definitely indispensable, so there is a greater chance of sneaking in some so-called loyal and brave people.
And in this way, there is still a chance to kill Li Guo and Li Guo who are far away from the soldiers at the scene of the sacrifice...
The plan was pretty good. Even Fei Qian couldn't think of any flaws for a while. To be honest, Li Guo and Li Guo definitely didn't understand what preparations were needed to sacrifice to heaven, nor what the procedures were.
, so Li Guo and Li were naturally unable to handle these matters, which created opportunities for those who supported the Han Emperor.
Although Pang Xi did not mention the soldiers used to kill Li Guo and others, Fei Qian could probably guess that there were many nobles in Chang'an, and there were still some domestic slaves and private soldiers. Since he controlled the process
They are all these people, so it is not difficult to sneak into the ceremony.
After Pang Xi finished speaking, he looked at Fei Qian quietly.
This is not a close friendship, but Fei Qian has now made it clear that his chariots and horses are facing off against Li Guo, and he has raised troops to capture Su City. This is naturally considered a success for those who support the Han Emperor in Chang'an.
It belongs to the ally side. Of course, there are some things that can be explained to a certain extent. After killing Li Guo and Li Guo, the scattered Xiliang soldiers still need Fei Qian to lead his troops to suppress and gather them, so he and Fei Qian will plan
It’s no surprise that everything was revealed.
It has to be said that the Chinese people's ability to learn and imitate is extremely strong. Wang Yun used assassination to gain power, and now Li Guo and Li Guo have become the new assassination targets...
Precedent is really a terrible thing, and this is also a kind of irony.
But the question is, should Fei Qian agree?
This is quite a headache.
Putting aside Fei Qian's troubles, at the same time, there were other people who were also troubled...
For example, Cao Cao.
Now Cao Cao is very conflicted and distressed. On the one hand, after Xun Yu came, he brought many talents, such as Man Chong, Du Xi, Yan Xiang, etc. Although it is good, it is very good, at least it can alleviate
It has solved Cao Cao's long-standing shortcomings in politics and even talent, but...
Xun Yu is good, and the people he recommended are also good, and he has also been of great help to Cao Cao's current territory. After all, the business of people's livelihood and political affairs was originally the specialty of noble disciples. In many cases, Cao Cao did not even need to be too impatient.
It's done, especially since Xun Yu was originally a prominent family in Yuzhou and also had a certain reputation in Yanzhou. Whether it was compared to Wei Jian or Xi Zhicai, it was much easier to use. Even most of the time, even Xun Yu
I don't even need to come forward, just hand over a famous assassin or something and say a little bit, and the Yanzhou nobles will give them face, thus solving the problem that Cao Cao originally had to deal with for a long time.
The children of the gentry have their own way of acting and dealing with things. This has certainly benefited Cao Cao a lot, but many of Cao Cao's original behaviors have gradually been subject to some restrictions...
Of course, this kind of restriction has good and bad qualities. For example, if it is good, for example, Xun Yu suggested that Cao Cao and his brothers from Cao family and Xiahou family should establish a formal superior-subordinate relationship, especially in formal occasions, etc., is it bad...
Mainly focused on Cao Cao's desire to expand his army.
The opponent was not Xun Yu, but the local gentry in Yanzhou. As the mediator, Xun Yu also advised Cao Cao not to be too confrontational with the gentry in Yanzhou during this period of time...
Such a result gradually gave Cao Cao a headache.
The brothers in Cao Cao's family, well, including Xiahou's group of brothers, are actually not serious nobles, they can only be regarded as more or less right-wing men. Therefore, despite the fact that the Yanzhou nobles now claim that Cao Cao is the governor of Dongjun, in fact they are not.
He somewhat took Cao Cao seriously.
Because Cao Cao's godfather, Cao Teng, was actually a poor man in all seriousness. He just used the power of the royal family to become a rich father and established the eunuch family of the Cao family. Of course, Cao Cao's godfather was still very famous.
Compared with Zhang Rang and others, there is a huge difference.
But Cao Cao still cannot climb to the top of the gentry. This requires not only temporary power, but also reputation, writings, and interest groups, all of which are indispensable.
He holds the power and strengthens the soldiers. He talks about everything. He kills every Wubao he sees, massacres a clan when he encounters one, and kills all those who refuse to kneel down and kowtow. He boasts that he believes in the creed that power is supreme and the strong explain everything. This is the best choice for middle school children.
The tricks you like to see cannot be taken seriously.
A child from a poor family has studied hard for ten years, and once he is on the gold medal list, he immediately becomes a big shot. This is a popular content in TV shows. Things like Cinderella and the Frog Prince naturally belong to the fairy tale series, and they cannot be taken seriously either.
.
What is the real situation?
This is what Cao Cao is like now.
Although the brothers of the Cao family and Xiahou family control the vast majority of the troops, they still have to rely on the gentry to manage and coordinate local people's livelihood and political affairs...
Are so many brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family loyal to Cao Cao? These soldiers were recruited by the Cao family and the Xiahou family who spent their wealth. Are they considered Cao Cao's personal troops?
Of course yes.
So can Cao Cao use righteousness as a decoration, only pursue strength, and ignore the family, the status, the nobles of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the Han emperor, just blindly strengthen the army and power, and then he can go
Have you wiped out all opposition?
Cao Cao really wanted to do this sometimes, especially when he gradually felt that he was a little constrained, but it was difficult to do it. The noble family was not stupid, and after being slapped on the left side of the face, he would also touch the right side of the face.
Go up.
Just like the headache that is now facing Cao Cao.
The nobles in Yanzhou did not dislike Cao Cao, but they did not fully support Cao Cao, so Cao Cao needed some money and food. Yes, no problem. The nobles in Yanzhou readily provided it, but Cao Cao wanted to expand the size of his soldiers.
Recruiting more soldiers was hindered.
Money and food will not fall from the sky, and most of the common people are in the hands of the nobles and right-wingers. Therefore, unless Cao Cao starts to turn his back from now on, raises the butcher knife, like a yellow scarf leader, like a bulldozer, he will go all the way.
With a twist...
No matter when, where, or what dynasty, a group, or class, that is connected by interest ties is the most reliable force. Of course, there are also disputes within the group, but when it comes to the outside world, especially those that affect the interests of the entire class group
When the time comes, this powerful power will be revealed, giving these guys who dare to offend Huwei a taste of what class dictatorship is...
In the Han Dynasty, what group was more closely connected and had interests related to each other than the blood relationship passed down from generation to generation from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the families were all relatives? When a person becomes a front-stage actor of the family, it is
The interests of the family must always be the political guide. For the Yanzhou gentry, they naturally did not feel that Cao Cao's wishes were everything to them and that they needed to continue to serve him.
Are there any things that the powerful and the nobles do against each other?
some.
Cao Cao himself had personally experienced the disaster of Party imprisonment, so he also knew that this was actually the Heng Emperor. The Ling Emperor really couldn't stand the so-called "pure discussion" of the gentry. Every day, a large group of gentry disciples were gibbering, either criticizing this or the other.
He wanted to criticize that, so he ordered the eunuchs. Of course, the eunuchs were also the group that was most criticized at the time. They began to hunt down these celebrities in the name of "party members" and killed them for a while, but was it useful?
Emperor Heng's first imprisonment didn't last long. The nobles blinked, curled their lips, stuck out their butts, and endured it. As a result, Emperor Ling also wanted to follow suit and continued his second imprisonment. Of course, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty at that time
He was still young, so the gentry children did not bear too much hatred on his head. However, eight years later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty felt that the tool of party supervision was indeed quite good. After all, the power of interpretation was not in his own hands.
Is it the truth, so he once again raised the butcher knife of the party, and the trend was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the nobles shut up for a while...
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was born.
hehe.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the believers in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were divided into thirty-six parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and six to seven thousand people in Xiaofang. Each party had a channel commander.
It is also necessary to unify the time, the steps, the command and the actions. In the Han Dynasty, when communication basically relied on shouting and transportation basically relied on walking, there was no official or semi-official trick. Who would believe it?
Anyway, Cao Cao didn't believe this was just a coincidence.
Later, with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was forced to start rehabilitating those "party members" imprisoned by the party...
So in the struggle between power and gentry, who wins?
If you can't even understand this, you will have wasted so many years of food.
So now, Cao Cao doesn't dare to do anything easily to these Yanzhou nobles. He always has to eat one bite at a time, and things have to be done slowly and step by step. If he wants to deal with these Yanzhou nobles, he always needs to find some breakthroughs.
, it is right to tidy up little by little. If the sudden movement is too big...
So what should we do now to find this breakthrough?
