The first thousand one hundred and ninety-sixth chapter opens the curtain
In the sixth year of Yuande, Wuchen in the fourth month of summer (fifteenth year).x Chinese x novel...
When it was just dawn, Dong Zhongshu had already gotten up.
Under the service of his maid, he put on a brand new Confucian uniform and a long-cherished Confucian crown.
Carefully attach a sword to your waist and a symbolic long bow to your back.
Then Dong Zhongshu stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.
Although he is over forty years old, he is still as strong as ever, and his eyes exude endless fighting spirit.
After flicking the sleeves of his robe slightly, Dong Zhongshu put his hand on the sword at his waist and praised: "This is what a man should be like!"
In Dong Zhongshu's opinion, the upcoming Shiqu Pavilion meeting will be the best stage for him and his thoughts and doctrines to be truly displayed in front of the world.
The emperor, princes and princes, envoys from vassal states, vassal kings, relatives and ministers with two thousand stones in Beijing, special senators, and representatives of Taixue students.
Nearly two to three hundred people will come to watch the ceremony.
Among the hundreds of scholars in the world, including him, there were nearly three hundred people with the most prestigious reputations and the highest academic achievements.
As long as they can perform well, Gongyang School and his thoughts will go further.
Therefore, here we can only succeed and not fail!
He picked up his sword and walked to the lobby of his mansion.
A portrait has already been hung in the hall.
This is a portrait of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and his disciple Zixia.
Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, and Master Zixia is the founder of the Spring and Autumn School.
Facing these two sages, Dong Zhongshu paid homage and prayed: "Unfilial disciple Zhongshu, I will pay my respects to my master again, and please bless my master, may my disciple's trip go well!"
At the same time, the same scenes were playing out in various places in Chang'an.
However, the image needs to be changed.
But basically, Confucius appears most frequently.
Secondly, there are Mr. Zixia, Laozi and Huangdi.
This allowed many merchants who specialized in selling portraits of sages and sages to make huge profits.
Since paper interviews, books have replaced bamboo slips and become the carrier of words.
The rudiments of calligraphy and painting emerged.
Some literati who failed to succeed in their studies and become officials turned to the art world, but unexpectedly, they became very successful because they were the first to try something new.
Among the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen and landowners, who doesn’t want to have a portrait of their ancestors in their home to commemorate? Who doesn’t want to leave a portrait of themselves for future generations to admire?
Immediately afterwards, some clever merchants developed a business of selling portraits of sages and various gods for people to worship.
This will bring even more wealth.
And now, it is even more profitable.
More than a thousand portraits of sages from various schools of thought were sold in one month!
On average, each portrait costs more than 10,000 yuan.
The profit is up to ten times!
Of course, the big guys and celebrities don't care about this little money.
After worshiping their respective ancestors, hundreds of carriages drove out from various places in Chang'an almost at the same time.
One by one, the great writers and celebrities who were well-known in the world and highly respected in a certain school of thought rode on their own carriages and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
Soon after, these carriages formed a huge long dragon on the royal road.
The creaking wheels of the carriage woke up many people in Chang'an.
People from countless villages were crowded in the gate, looking at the long dragon in the distance.
Seeing such a huge queue of carriages, Mr. Yousu couldn't help but praise: "I think back then, when all the countries were fighting, if you could have five hundred carriages, you would be able to rule the roost..."
"Nowadays, China only has a hundred schools of thought and can dispatch thousands of chariots at any time! Things are changing..."
But when the young men heard this, they felt nothing.
After all, they lived in an era where the glory of chariots had long gone.
In today's world, cavalry rules the roost.
That is to say, when the emperor travels and princes and kings come to the capital, you can see chariots as ceremonial guards and decorations.
At other times, both nobles and common people took pride in practicing riding and archery.
However, some smart people also remembered something.
After the Mayi War, the imperial court vigorously promoted the fake horse policy.
Nowadays, the folk horse breeding trend has taken shape, coupled with the horse racing event in Maoling.
From the ministers to the middle-class scholars and landowners, horse breeding was the most important thing.
The number of horses in Guanzhong has increased several times in three years.
Now, even the favorite game of young people and dandies in Chang'an has changed from Cuju in the past to polo today.
Every winter, dozens or even hundreds of polo teams appear in the wilderness.
Since then, horse-drawn carriage travel has gradually become a trend among high-ranking officials and scholar-bureaucrats.
If not, these giants from hundreds of schools of thought might not be able to assemble such a carriage.
After all, six years ago, the total number of carriages in Guanzhong was probably only a thousand.
And now, a thousand carriages?
The Shi family owns thousands of carriages!
From this detail, it is enough to see that the speed of change in today's world is indeed completely different from that in the past.
At least on the ground in Guanzhong, one year is different from another.
Thinking of this, the young people began to think in their hearts: "This meeting at Shiqu Pavilion may be able to point the way for us..."
There is no doubt that which one is the most popular in Shiqu Pavilion will definitely represent the future development direction.
If you learn from his knowledge and thoughts, you will certainly be able to make a difference in your official career.
…………………………
Liu Che was already standing at the head of Beique City at this time.
Plate after plate of bonfires lit up the entire world below the tower.
Looking at the carriages slowly driving along the road and into the tower.
Liu Che showed a happy smile and said to Ji An beside him: "All the heroes in the world will be put into my jar!"
This sentence is of course extremely pretentious.
But it’s also true!
There are hundreds of schools of thought and various factions.
In fact, he is the spokesperson of today's Han Dynasty, various interest groups and classes.
These people, their factions, and their thoughts and knowledge may not necessarily be correct, and they may even have many backward and decadent aspects.
However, there is nothing wrong with the classes and interest groups they represent.
Therefore, this Shiquge meeting is not only a fun forum and a place for academic discussions.
Liu Che has already seen the flash of swords and shadows of swords and iron horses and gold fighting that will appear in the upcoming Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
The danger and excitement involved are even comparable to the Battle of Mayi between the Han and Hungarians.
The reason is very simple. The Shiqu Pavilion meeting will definitely reach a conclusion until the end.
No matter what the final conclusion is, there will always be people whose interests will be harmed, there will always be people who will be overshadowed, and there will always be winners and losers.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, not only in war, but also in academic debates.
Where is the Yang Zhu School of that time now?
Where are the famous figures of those days now?
but……
A smile overflowed from the corner of Liu Che's mouth: "No matter what the result is, I am the winner!"
If not, how could he hold this Shiqu Pavilion meeting?
