Chapter 377 When are you going to pick Liuhou's nose?
For a time, the three schools of Legalism, Shi, and Fa gathered together.
The officials under Zhidu had all drawn their swords. After seeing Zhang Buyi's arrival, they immediately put away their swords. The soldiers surrounding them also quickly retreated and did not dare to move forward. Zhang Buyi
He frowned and looked very serious.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Shizhi and Zhi Du paid homage to him respectively. Zhang Buyu looked at them both with a straight face, "Did His Majesty re-appoint you just to let you fight here?! Ting Wei's case has been completed."
?Have the reports for Tongwen Mansion been completed?!"
Although the two of them were fierce, they did not continue to contradict each other when faced with the reprimands of the Third Duke of the dynasty.
"Everyone follow me!"
Zhang Buji waved his hand and asked the other officials and soldiers to go back first. He led Zhi Du and Zhang Shizhi towards the palace. Walking on the road, the three of them were silent. Zhang Buji
Xin led them all the way to Houde Hall, then stopped, turned around, and looked at them again.
"When we enter the Hall of Houde, if I hear you impeaching each other even once! I will behead both of you... Do you understand?!"
"only!!"
The two saluted again.
Zhang Buyi then led the two of them into the Houde Hall, "Your Majesty~~~"
Liu Chang was not alone, there was a minister sitting next to him, and this person Zhang Buyi knew, it was Lu Jia who had just returned from the Western Regions. Lu Jia has been very popular in recent years.
First, he sent an envoy to the Western Regions, which single-handedly provoked a civil war among the Xiongnu. Then he sent an envoy to the Western Regions, causing chaos in the Xiongnu's rear. After repelling the Xiongnu, Lu Jia used superb diplomatic methods to successfully get the countries in the Western Regions to submit to the Han Dynasty.
When Lu Jiahui received the emperor's order and was about to go back, he found that he suddenly became very popular. From Hexi to Longxi, and then to Chang'an, along the way, both local officials and local people
Celebrities came to visit him one after another and entertained him with high standards. Some young people even stopped his car, hoping to become his disciple.
This confused Lu Jia. Could it be that what I did in the Western Regions became known to everyone so quickly?
But after asking in detail, I found out that it turned out that they respected him so much because of his teacher. Speaking of it, Lu Jia and Zhang Cang were from the same school. However, unlike Zhang Cang, who had been with Xunzi for a long time, Lu Jia was just lucky.
I just consulted Xunzi for academic advice, but this not-so-formal disciple was the one who was most inclined to him among the many disciples of Xunzi. There was nothing I could do about it, because Xunzi's disciples were all unreliable.
No one is worthy of Xunzi.
Needless to say, Li Si and Han Fei were not even Confucian, and those who studied Confucianism were Fu Qiu Bo, but Fu Qiu Bo joined Gu Liang after studying, and there was Zhang Cang, who did not look like a Confucian in either his speech, behavior or appearance.
Confucianism, Mao Heng studied poetry with Xunzi, but he also founded his own sect. In the end, it seems that only Lu Jia was the most famous among Xunzi's disciples, and he maintained the true tradition of Xunzi without going too far.
Of course, as a disciple of Xunzi, it is impossible not to go astray at all. After Lu Jia studied Confucianism, he also studied Huang Laohe and Fa. Anyway, he was not an orthodox Confucian, but he was not as biased and strange as his other brothers.
Xunzi firmly believed that anyone could become a saint and that man could conquer heaven. Probably for this reason, he would not interfere too much with the choices of his disciples and let them pursue their own knowledge.
Under the intervention of a certain King Li, Xunzi's status continued to improve, and the status of Zhang Cang, Lu Jia, and even Jia Yi began to improve. Nowadays, many celebrities who specialize in Xunzi's knowledge have appeared, and they all hope that they can
The research results can be valued by the emperor.
As soon as Lu Jia returned to Chang'an, Liu Chang couldn't wait to take him to the palace.
Zhang Buyi sat on the other side of Liu Chang. As for Zhi Du and Zhang Shizhi, they could only stand.
Liu Chang pointed at the two of them, smiled and said to Lu Jia: "Mr. Lu, this is my eagle dog!"
At this moment, the word eagle and dog is not derogatory. Hunting is a very grand activity at this time, and eagle and dog can play a big role in hunting. At the same time, they are famous for their loyalty and bravery. It is not considered an insult unless you use it.
To be sarcastic.
Lu Jia looked at the eagle and dog in front of him. He had already heard about them before he returned to Chang'an. Although he was a Confucian scholar, Lu Jia did not dislike these people. After all, he had also studied law.
The knowledge of the family is still studied
Han Fei's method is the combination of magic and potential. Han Fei is an exception among the legalists. His knowledge almost includes Shang Yang's method, the power of caution, and the art of Shen Wuhu. If you learn from his knowledge, you will be able to
I can compete with these three at the same time.
And who else in the temple learned from Han Feizi? Of course it was Chao Cuo who had a stranglehold with Shen Tujia in South Vietnam.
The three sects of Legalism are already so lively now. If Chao Cuo comes back again, the situation will be even more... ugly.
"If your Majesty has so many wise men to assist you, the world of Han Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous. When I was there, they all said that your Majesty is the emperor of the ages. This is how wise your majesty is. Even the ministers can feel your kindness.
Even your enemies must be impressed by your benevolence and virtue..."
Lu Jia smiled and praised, then looked at Zhang Shizhi and asked: "I heard that you have abolished the law of continuous sitting and no longer treat those who fail to appeal with double the criminal law. Why is this?"
Zhang Shizhi replied seriously: "I think that if a person commits a crime, his neighbors, his chief officials, and his relatives will all be put in prison for his own sake, and innocent people will be persecuted because of the guilty ones.
This is incorrect behavior."
"Then why do you support people to appeal? You may not know that those who commit crimes are not willing to plead guilty easily. If you give them the right to appeal, they will continue to appeal, and the criminals will be dealt with in the future.
It will become very difficult, and the officials will suffer!"
Zhang Shizhi replied seriously: "Criminal law is a matter related to human life. If we enforce the law casually because we are afraid of trouble, fear of delay, and fear of officials being tired, then what should we do if innocent people are punished for it?"
What? Even if a thousand evil people appeal and delay the case, as long as it can ensure that one innocent person is spared, it is still worth it."
"Okay! What you said is very good, and you really have the style of Wei Yangling!"
Zhang Buyi sneered and said: "It's just that he is too Wei Yang. Even his behavior towards the prince is the same. My father is frightened. He is afraid that one day Mr. Zhang will rush over and pick his nose."
, carve words on his face!”
Zhang Shizhi's face darkened and he didn't say anything more.
Liu Chang frowned, "What are you afraid of..."
Suddenly, Liu Chang came to his senses and couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed, "I understand! Shang Yang dug the nose of the Prince of Qin's teacher and carved words on his face, right?"
Lu Jia narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise! However, the person who should really be afraid is Shi Zhi himself. What if he imitates Shang Yang and makes a mistake?"
Zhang Shizhi didn't refute, but Zhidu couldn't help but said: "With Shang Yang's ambition and Shang Yang's actions, what's the fear of the car breaking?!"
Lu Jia laughed loudly, "I made a mistake. Your majesty, the eagle and the dog, are harmonious and complement each other. I would like to congratulate your majesty first!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhi came back to his senses, moved the corners of his mouth, and said no more.
Liu Chang looked at the two of them and said seriously: "I asked you to come here not only to meet Mr. Lu, but also to assist Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu returned to Chang'an to handle a major event.
...If Mr. Lu gives you something, you must obey his orders and never embarrass him...especially you, Shi Zhi!"
"If you use any more laws to stop Lu Gong from doing things, I won't be able to forgive you!"
"Do you still remember what happened with the Jade Cup last time?"
"I know..."
Many people know about this famous case. The jade cup from the ancestral temple was stolen. Zhang Shizhi insisted on his verdict and persuaded the emperor. But few people know that at that time, after Liu Chang found that he could not defeat Zhang Shi, he decided to
Those who were unable to use force simply pinned Zhang Shizhi down and beat him. After the beating, they agreed to his sentence. Of course, outsiders didn't know much about this kind of thing that affected the emperor's reputation.
The two of them still looked respectful and obeyed orders, standing in front of the emperor.
Liu Chang took Lu Jia's hand and talked about important matters.
"When will the kings of the Western Regions arrive?"
"It's probably at the end of the month. I specially arranged for them to come together. They are gathering in Hexi now... When they come to Chang'an, they have completely become His Majesty's ministers. I have a list here. Please take care of it.
, there are a few people who are not convinced, your majesty can be harsher on them, let them feel the strength of the big man, there are a few who admire you very much, please treat them peacefully...and these people..."
Lu Jia was indeed an excellent lobbyist. He persuaded the kings of the Western Regions to come to see Liu Chang and officially became a small prince king in the name of the Han Dynasty. After the court meeting, the Han Dynasty could justifiably send the minister of state. Of course, the princes and kings should fulfill their duties.
They cannot lack any of their responsibilities, such as the annual gold, and they cannot be abolished for no reason. However, if the gold content is not enough, then they can be punished justifiably.
The Han Dynasty could not gather so many officials at one time, but it was still possible to send a state minister to slowly control their domestic affairs, just like the Dian Kingdom. As long as they were officially turned into princes of the Han Dynasty, they would immediately
It will be a matter of time before the county is established, so there is no need to worry at all.
Liu Chang listened carefully to Lu Jia's report and said thoughtfully, "We can let Qi and Yan contact them first... From now on, they will serve as leaders to command the rest of the country..."
"Then your Majesty should give them more instructions and ask them not to be too rude. They have already seen how powerful the big man is. Now it is more important to let them feel the benevolence of the big man. Blindly showing force and relying on intimidation will not work.
....Your Majesty knows how to combine strength and softness."
"Hahaha, I know, by the way, I am also planning to ask them to send the prince to the Imperial Academy in Chang'an. What do you think?"
"this...."
Lu Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The reason why he was embarrassed was because this suggestion was what he had said when he reported it to the emperor before. This person not only copied the minister's ideas, but even said it in front of the person being copied. It was really inappropriate.
After discussing the affairs of the Western Regions, Liu Chang just talked about bringing Lu Jia back to Chang'an.
Lu Jia returned to Chang'an for a very important thing, which was to compile enlightenment textbooks. Most of the enlightenment textbooks used by the Han Dynasty today are the Cangjie Pian of the original Qin Dynasty, and the Cangjie Pian is for adults and is for Qin Dynasty.
The country trains more officials
, is not suitable for the current situation of the Han Dynasty. The Qin State only has public schools, and there are also age requirements, but the Han Dynasty is different. In addition to Taixue, the highest education and talent selection institution, the Han Dynasty today also has Chinese studies from various countries, as well as various
County school.
Among them, Chinese studies are the talent transfer base of Taixue, and most of the people who study here are local scholars. This is not a big problem, but the county school is different. Most of the people here are children, and the teachers in charge are not very qualified.
For people with high knowledge, it would be inappropriate to use the Cangjie chapter for enlightenment. And if these Confucian scholars use the Analects for enlightenment, it will create a bad situation. After years of enlightenment, the Han Dynasty will eventually be occupied by Confucian scholars.
.
Moreover, the Analects of Confucius is not considered to be a very good material for enlightenment. After all, it is still mainly about learning.
Liu Chang had been thinking about how to solve this problem before, but Wang Ling reminded him to find someone who was proficient in each faction to take charge of this matter, so as not to favor too many sides. So of course this candidate would be
It fell on Lu Jia.
"I will not disappoint His Majesty's high expectations."
Lu Jia also knew how important this matter was. The emperor had always wanted to enlighten the world, and people like Shusun Tong had been working hard on this matter. Now the burden of enlightenment fell on him again.
This thing might be passed down for thousands of years, and Lu Jia didn't dare to neglect it.
Liu Chang said: "You can go to Shusun Tong to discuss this matter first."
"In these years, he has concentrated on being responsible for enlightenment. His disciples are distributed all over the world, serving as teachers, and he has not pursued fame... He has been busy everywhere, from the Yan State to the Changsha State. There is no one who has not
In the places I have been to, a total of ninety-six county schools have been built over the years, and more than 30,000 children have been enlightened..."
Liu Chang was very proud, "If we persist for ten more years, we will definitely achieve great results. By then, there will be no shortage of officials. Let alone the Western Regions, even if we open up a larger territory, there will definitely be enough officials!!"
Lu Jia said with admiration: "If it can be done, my uncle Sun Gong can become a saint with his contribution."
"You too... Shu Sun Tong is very old after all. I still have to rely on you to handle this matter from now on..."
Liu Chang pointed to Zhidu and said: "If you want to recruit talented people to write a book together, you can ask him. He knows the situation of talented people in Chang'an better and can help you invite them. He can also help you write a residence.
Report, let everyone in the world know what you are going to do, and let them all come to help..."
He then pointed at Zhang Shizhi and said: "As for this guy... If someone secretly intervenes and leads the school's struggle to enlightenment, you can go to him... If someone disobeys your orders
, and leave it to him to handle!"
Lu Jia had just come back from a long journey. Liu Chang didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he stood up with a smile and sent him back to rest first. After everyone sent Lu Jia away, they returned to Houde Hall again, without Lu Jia.
, Liu Chang stopped pretending, he directly put on the ancestral Ji Si, looking at the eagle dog in front of him unhappily, where was the kindness he had just now.
"I am using you so much to make you two fight each other?!"
"I thought you could help me reduce some trouble, and I didn't ask you to create trouble for me!"
"Everyone in the world thinks that I love fighting. This is really a huge misunderstanding. I have never been a fighter in my life, but I only like to resolve fights!"
"Today, I have to give you two a good fight..."
Liu Chang rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
Liu Chang has a method of managing ministers inherited from Emperor Gao. This method can probably be used to manage the children at home. What should the minister do if he disobeys? Most of the time, he will be idle and just give him a beating.
When Liu Chang pulled the two of them to his side, put his hands around their necks, and gently asked them what to do next, as if they were holding little chickens, the two of them lost their usual arrogance.
His face turned red and he couldn't breathe.
"If I know that you two are fighting each other and taking people to each other's place to cause trouble, I will hang you on the beam to practice archery! Do you understand?!"
The two nodded hurriedly, Liu Chang let go suddenly, and the two fell to the ground, rolling and crawling to their feet.
"And you! Zhidu, what are you doing with a straight face? Are you not convinced?!"
"No...I was born like this..."
"Smile for me! Otherwise I will tear your mouth apart!!"
Zhi all showed a very ugly smile. Even though these Legalist hawks and dogs were ferocious and cold, they were still quite obedient in front of the emperor. Although Zhang Shizhi quarreled with the emperor on legal issues, he usually treated the emperor very well.
Those who dare not point fingers are also very obedient.
"Hahaha~~That's right, let's go eat meat!"
Liu Chang took them and walked towards the outside of the hall.
........
When Lu Jia arrived at Shusun Tong's house, Shusun Tong's disciples were very polite to him and asked him to wait in the house for a while.
He smelled the strong smell of herbs in the courtyard.
There were constant coughs in the room, and soon, neatly dressed Shusun Tong walked out with the support of his disciples. Even though he could no longer walk, he still saluted Lu Jia very seriously. The two bowed to each other, and Lu Jia
Jia then stepped forward, took the initiative to support him, and they walked into the house together.
"I already knew that Mr. Lu was coming, so I specially prepared a banquet for you..."
"Uncle Sun Gong, there is no need to go to such trouble..."
"How is the situation in the Western Region?"
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, walked into the house, and sat facing each other.
Uncle Sun Tong was so thin that only his bones were left. His whole body looked shaky, wrinkled, and lifeless... Lu Jia looked at him with some worry and said, "If Uncle Sun Tong feels unwell, you can lie down."
I won't care if you discuss it with me on the bed."
"No...it's not allowed by etiquette."
Shusun Tong shook his head, "You don't have to worry about me... Nowadays, the Han Dynasty still has one thousand and thirty counties, but only ninety-six counties have established county schools, and there are still 934 counties that cannot be established.
..I can still hold on until all 934 counties have established county schools, then I can leave with peace of mind!"
