The rainy weather that lasted for several days made the entire city of Chang'an much quieter.
But, beneath the quiet and peaceful surface, there are undercurrents.
Hundreds of schools of thought, celebrities and giants from all over the world came in droves.
One by one, world-famous figures came from all over the world with their disciples.
And the terrifying giants standing behind these schools of thought!
"If I hadn't been to Chang'an, I wouldn't have known how terrible the various schools of thought are nowadays..." A scribe in white clothes leaned against the window, looking out at the sparse pedestrians on the street.
"That's right..." A softer voice sneered behind him: "Confucius said Chengren, Mencius said Qiyi, the Simeng school was based on the people, how could you imagine...it turned out to be the lackey of the King of Liang..."
The Simeng School, following Liang Wang Liu Wu, entered the city with great fanfare a few days ago.
It made the whole Chang'an look sideways.
Who doesn’t know that today’s emperor has always respected his uncle the most?
It is said that the emperor once publicly said to his ministers: The King of Liang is my Duke of Zhou and the pillar of the state!
When the local government reported that King Liang had exceeded the limit in Suiyang, the emperor waved his hand and smiled.
Someone quietly reported that the King of Liang had prepared many over-the-top items for his royal tomb.
As a result, the emperor laughed and passed away after hearing this. Instead, he immediately ordered a minister to go to the East Garden to deliver the edict: to build all kinds of artifacts according to the emperor's specifications for King Liang. He also issued a special edict to allow the mausoleum of King Liang to be equipped with terracotta warriors and horses...
And the princes of Liang were even more remarkable.
The eldest son was the Crown Prince of Liang and was granted the title of Marquis of Chengshi.
The second son Ming became the king of Korea and was in charge of Dongyi Mountains and Rivers.
The other disciples are also said to have obtained special permission and can become kings in the future.
There are even legends that it is conclusively stated that Donghai County, which has recently been annexed to the Han Dynasty, is likely to become the fiefdom of the youngest son of King Liang in the future.
Such kindness has never been seen in the entire history of the Han Dynasty.
The King of Liang also relied on the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, who was extremely majestic and powerful.
Apart from not being able to interfere in government affairs, this imperial uncle had no other restrictions.
However, because of this, Liang Wang Liu Wu became a thorn in the side and a scourge in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world.
This is what scholar-bureaucrats are like.
There are no two suns in the sky, and no two masters on the earth.
Prince Liang, you are so beautiful, but you still don’t know how to restrain yourself. What do you want to do?
Therefore, Liang Wang Liu Wu gradually became the spearhead among the scholars.
Of course, everyone dare not call him by his first name.
You can only use which person or Suiyang to refer to you.
and……
Although these two scribes said that "the Simeng school is dead...".
But in fact, I am filled with envy in my heart.
Just like they cursed the merchants for causing harm to the country, but they couldn't refuse the merchants' money.
The two of them sighed for a while. At this time, the door was pushed open, and a civil servant in his thirties walked in. He bowed to the two of them and said, "I have kept you two brothers waiting for a long time... Foolish brother, in the official office, suddenly,
In a hurry……"
"It doesn't matter, we don't have to wait long here..." The scribe leaning against the window said with a smile. Then he invited the official to his seat and said, "My dear brother, why is the government office so busy today?"
"I'm not a member of the Xunzi school yet..." The civil servant sighed and said, "The two elders, Cheng Zheng and Zhuo from Linqiong, traveled thousands of miles to come to Chang'an just to cheer for the Xunzi school.
This is very painful for us..."
"Ah..." The third person was surprised when he heard this: "When did the Xunzi school get involved with those two people?"
Five or six years ago, the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong were just two wealthy countrymen. By chance, they relied on the collapse of Deng Tong and quickly made a fortune.
Although they are rich, who the hell cares about these two scum?
At that time, any one of these two scribes could crush them to death if he stretched out his fingers.
But now, these two businessmen are the big figures they look up to but cannot approach.
Especially for the Zhuo family, there are rumors in the palace that the daughter of the Zhuo family will be granted the title of Madam this year.
The concubine of the Madam is the concubine in the Han court whose status is second only to the queen.
She is a real royal concubine!
Today, apart from the Queen, there are only two ladies who have been granted titles so far.
One is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, and the sister of Dongchenghou Yizong, the cavalry general of the dynasty.
The other one is Mrs. Xia, the princess of the Huns.
Apart from that, they are all good people, so don't let them fall in love with you.
There are even many concubines who are just not popular.
Originally, given Zhuo's birth, it was impossible for her to be granted the title of Madam.
But what can I do...
I was so excited that I gave birth to a prince for Your Majesty!
The mother is given the title of lady based on the value of her son, either this year or next year.
Nowadays, among all the merchants in the world, who doesn’t admire the good business done by Cheng Zheng and Zhuo back then?
But no matter what, except for these two people, today's emperor seems to have no intention of accepting other people's daughters.
It really makes countless people jump in a hurry!
Unexpectedly, the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong now hold the right to build the southwestern ironware as their relatives.
He also used the power of the emperor to create trouble among the barbarian countries in the southwest.
It is said that the two of them even have the power to subvert a country and exterminate an entire clan.
All the kingdoms in the southwestern barbarians, large and small, trembled under the lustful power of these two heads of state.
But now, these two businessman relatives who are rich, powerful, and have more power and support have actually sided with Xunzi's school of thought.
This is really surprising!
But if you think about it carefully, Xunzi’s school of thought and these two foreign merchants seem to be entangled with each other, and they seem to be in the same boat!
When Xunzi was alive, he always preached that "human nature is inherently evil", so a gentleman controls the destiny of heaven and does it. He wants to follow the way of a queen, to be a king with long etiquette, to respect the virtuous, to respect the law, to love the people, to dominate, to respect the gentleman to control things, and to be a villain.
Dominated by things.
And his disciples and grandsons carried forward this idea even more, believing that only fools, villains and idiots can be made and controlled by merchants, craftsmen and instruments.
Real heroes and heroes are those who can control, master and activate everything by themselves.
So, bad can be turned into good.
Bad things can be turned into good things.
After learning Xunzi's thoughts, the prodigal can turn back, and the traitor can turn to good deeds.
Just say that a slut can become a virgin!
In the past, Xunzi's school and his descendants were just rats crossing the street, being beaten by everyone and with almost no room for survival.
until……
Your Majesty ascends the throne now...
The Mohist school was revived and the Zajia school was revived.
Within the Confucian sect, all sorts of monsters and monsters have appeared!
Thinking of this, the scribe in white said: "The scholar-bureaucrats in this world... their hearts are corrupt and their morals are corrupt..."
"I heard that among the Lu and Confucian lineage in the south, there were actually people who deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors. They built thatched huts in Mount Tai, claiming that they would prove the Tao with their hearts.
"Shu", "Su Wen" and some books by Lao and Zhuang, they talk about creating a knowledge that everyone can learn from Yao and Shun through study..." The scribe in white sighed and said: "It's ridiculous. If Mr. Xiuzi has knowledge underground, I'm afraid.
I'm going to roll in my grave..."
Speaking of this, the three of them were silent.
Isn’t Lu Ru’s predicament today a reflection of their future?
"We, the Guliang School, cannot continue like this..." After a long silence, the civil servant said: "We must find a way out..." (~^~)
