"By the way, didn't it mean that many refugees came to Luoyang for refuge due to natural disasters and the Yellow Turban Army? Why didn't you see anyone along the way? Could it be that they all dispersed back after knowing that the war was over?"
Follow Zhu Jun as he walks on the wide avenue of Luoyang City. This is Kaiyang Road, one of the most important main roads in Luoyang, which is named after the city gate it connects to. From this road, you can go westward via Middle East Road. Arrive at Zhu Jun's right cavalry general's mansion.
I don’t know whether it’s because Luoyang is famous here, or because Luoyang is so prosperous. Anyway, Li Shushi didn’t see any “social elements” such as vagrants and beggars along the way. Although there were not many pedestrians, there were many people there. Either the young masters of the aristocratic family are dressed in bright clothes or angry horses, or they are well-dressed slaves guarding the courtyard. It looks like a picture of prosperity and peace.
But Li Shushi had heard a lot about the refugees before he came, so when he saw the picture of prosperity and peace in front of him, he felt more or less peace-keeping. Of course, you can also think that his thoughts were too bad, and he actually He has fallen to the point where he is not even willing to accept good things. However, he does feel that this situation is a bit too abnormal.
"Speaking of it, this is also a strange thing. Our Majesty did not know what revelation he had. A few days ago, he actually ordered the Luoyang Order to gather the refugees who were still staying in Luoyang, organize them into an army, and then send everyone to When I arrived at the northwest battlefield, I said that I wanted to help the officers and soldiers fight and do some work on repairing the land around the city wall and establishing land reclamation."
Zhu Jun was far better informed than Li Shushi, and when he heard Li Shushi's questions, he told the information he knew.
"Isn't it too dangerous to send these people to the northwest front? It is said that the number of refugees under Luoyang City was in the hundreds of thousands. If there are people who want to instigate them, and they cooperate with the Qiang people in rebellion, what will happen to the northwest? I'm afraid the land will no longer belong to my great Han Dynasty. Don't the ministers in the court have any opinions?"
Sun Jian was shocked when he heard Zhu Jun's explanation, and stared at Zhu Jun's back in shock. The three brothers Liu, Pan, and Zhang looked even more incredulous, especially Liu Bei, who seemed to have thought of being driven to the dangerous war zone in the northwest. The miserable situation of the refugees seems to have brewed in his eyes. Of course, Li Shushi's situation is not much better than them.
"Hey...I don't know whether this is a blessing or a disaster? His Majesty said that he would set an example by using money and food from the internal funds as travel expenses and wages for the refugees to go to the northwest, and called on everyone to contribute funds together. But although His Majesty said that donating more, donating less It's completely voluntary, but if you dare to donate less, I'm afraid you will inevitably be remembered by His Majesty in the future. Hey... Although His Majesty's idea may be good, using work as a relief is better than letting a group of refugees get together, but if it is done If the officials in charge deduct wages from the refugees, or if the situation becomes too critical and people's hearts change, the situation will be no less than the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
Zhu Jun also sighed constantly about this matter. Obviously he was not optimistic about the success or failure of this matter. Unfortunately, he was still on the road at that time, and even if he was also in the DPRK at the time, how much influence could he have? In fact, all the ministers in the DPRK Everyone noticed Liu Hong's words asking everyone to spend money together for the aid plan. Based on Liu Hong's previous money-making methods, everyone was more willing to believe that this was just a new money-making method Liu Hong came up with under the guise of aiding the victims. After all, the empty-handed white wolf that this man played in the name of building a palace back then was extremely clever. Although it was a bit more explicit this time, he still held his hat well.
"Then why didn't the princes in the court stop His Majesty?" Zhang Fei was still young after all, and he couldn't understand this kind of thing at all. Perhaps in the eyes of the second master, he had to say whatever he thought, and there were so many twists and turns. It’s troublesome, it’s unpleasant, it’s too unpleasant.
"Hey...how can I refute this? Hundreds of thousands of refugees are left there for only a day, which will increase the risk. However, the three princes of the imperial court have been unable to come up with a solution for several months. Well, you said that your Majesty's solution is not good. Then His Majesty asked you to come up with a solution, can you come up with it? Since you can't come up with a solution, you still say that other people's solutions are not good. It's easy to say that you are jealous, but you are accused of deliberately creating a gathering of refugees who want to rebel. Who can bear such a big hat? No matter how strong he is, he can't use it here. Besides, if this thing goes smoothly, it is indeed a way out, but the key is that there are too many conditions that need to be met."
As soon as Zhu Jun mentioned this matter, there was a lawsuit on his forehead. Although he was not in Luoyang City and did not participate in the chaos in the court, it stands to reason that he should be able to "don't worry about the matter." But if you can't stand him, he is worried about the country. Lord of the people, when he thought of the ups and downs inside and outside the Han Dynasty, Zhu Jun's face, which was already full of vicissitudes of life, now had a few new wrinkles.
Affected by Zhu Jun, everyone suddenly seemed to be worried about Dahan's future, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
"... So on the first day of Meng Chun, the people behind the group were violent. Hundreds of teachers and teachers came to Sixujie. The vassal state was hired, and it was necessary to come to pledge. The emperor's ministers presented Chen to serve as Zhi. Those who should pay homage to His Highness, Gai There are tens of thousands and two. You are nine guests, and the people are lined up. The teeth are displayed, and the drums and drums are set up. The generals are in charge of the rank, the tiger halberds are handed over to the dragon chariot, and the clouds and flags are flying. Hitting the bells of the flood, beating the spirit drums, shaking the surroundings, and the hidden beasts are like thunder turning into thunder and stirring up the swift wind..."
Just as everyone was walking on the wide main road in Luoyang with a gloomy look, they suddenly heard a burst of singing coming from far and near. Although they couldn't quite hear what the content was, they could vaguely tell that it seemed to be a famous song from the Han Dynasty. "Tokyo Fu" from "Two Capital Fu" written by the versatile Zhang Heng. Although the singer's pronunciation is very strange, his voice has a very interesting cadence.
Everyone who has gone through China's nine-year compulsory education should be aware of Zhang Heng, the author of "Er Capital Fu". This man has been famous in history for two things. One is his achievements in astronomy and geography as Taishi Ling. In particular, the sensitivity of his seismometer is quite exaggerated. Although the only thing that future generations can see is a fake product, and the fake product was openly included in the textbooks, this cannot deny the greatness of Zhang Heng. Well, They are all so great that they have reached heaven.
Another achievement of Zhang Heng is in literature. The most famous one is "Er Beijing Fu", which is collectively called "Tokyo Fu" and "Xijing Fu". Although this fu has some ironic meaning, it is rich in rhetoric. But it inherits the legacy of Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong of the Western Han Dynasty. It can be said to be a masterpiece with both spiritual and physical features, not to mention its important reference value for archaeology.
Sima Xiangru once said: "The heart of the Fu family includes the universe and encompasses all things." As Zhang Heng, who often stands on the observatory and looks up to the sky, he is unconsciously the closest scholar to this state, and "Er Capital Fu" is the best Articles that reflect this style.
"This man's singing voice is quite peculiar. Hearing it makes me feel comfortable all over. But I don't know which actor he is from. It would be nice to see him in person."
Sun Jianshu didn't read much, so he didn't know the beauty of the singer's lyrics, but this did not prevent him from appreciating the unique timbre. It seems that his wife Wu had been nurturing him. When he thought of this, Li Shushi had to express his envy, jealousy and hatred towards Sun Jian. This brother's marriage was completely obtained by force by himself and a group of his brothers and friends.
"Hmph, Wentai, don't hang out with that kind of people. Those people are just eunuchs."
Zhu Jun saw that Sun Jian was interested in the singer, and immediately put out the little flame called interest that had just started to burn.
"These people are from the Hongdu School. Most of the students who come out of here are eunuchs."
Although I don’t know what kind of institution this Hongdu Menxue is, whether it is a higher academic institution like Taixue, because they both have the word “learn”. But Zhu Jun’s meaning is very obvious, that is, we must stand on the right side of the team. Otherwise, big problems will arise. "Mr. Zhu, where is this Hongdu sect, and why has it become a vassal of the eunuchs?"
Liu Bei also didn't understand. After all, he had listened to the lectures of the great scholar Lu Zhi and audited the courses of another great scholar Zheng Xuan. Although he didn't like reading, he could still tell the difference between one and two. In his opinion, impassioned singing was not the same. He is a person who would do such things. Of course, if Liu Bei came to China for a visit, he might not think so.
"This Hongdu School was established by His Majesty in February of the first year of Guanghe. Because it is located next to the Hongdu Gate of Beigong, everyone generally calls it Hongdu School. This college was originally to provide His Majesty with some Those who are good at poetry, calligraphy, painting and music are for daily use. Therefore, although the students there can be close to His Majesty, because they do things that are despised by scholars, those children from aristocratic families disdain to come here, so Students in Hongdu School generally come from poor families."
"So those eunuchs are interested in students from Hongdu School who have similar status to them?"
"The book is right, it is like this. In fact, vertical eunuchs have always been like controlling Taixue to change the world's opinion of them. It's just that most of Taixue students are young and have a strong character, and most of them come from a family of poets and writers, so they have always been The eunuchs could not get what they wanted. In the end, the eunuchs had to choose students from Hongdu sect and let them serve as county magistrates, governors and prefects regardless of their abilities. For a while, it became a way out for the children of poor families. But how can these guys who only know how to recite poems and paint paintings manage the place? In the end, they will help the eunuchs to cause trouble. But these students don't dare to be so arrogant in the capital."
Sure enough, Luoyang is an imperial city, and the water here is very deep.
"The late Yuan Benchu (Cao Mengde) paid a visit to His Excellency Mr. Zhu Gong, General of the Right Chariot and Cavalry."
Li Shushi was originally thinking about the situation in Luoyang, but suddenly he heard a few familiar names. When he looked up, he saw that it was not Cao Cao's black dwarf who was no better than Wu Dalang.
