Two hundred and nineteenth chapter three birds with one arrow
That night, the emperor gave a banquet to the ministers, soldiers and civilians in Dayang County.
There were thousands of banquets.
Almost every citizen of Dayang was given a sumptuous dinner complete with wine and meat.
As for the accompanying ministers, the honorable Marquis Che and hundreds of celebrities, they drank with the emperor in the county government office.
Liu De sat next to Cheap Daddy, sitting upright, looking around at the ministers and celebrities from various schools of thought.
To be honest, he didn't know most of them.
Especially among the giants of Baijia, he has never seen any of them.
The emperor Liu Qi was a little drunk. He put down the wine bottle and told Liu De: "Liu De, go and toast to the doctors from hundreds of schools on my behalf!"
What he said is true. Basically, if you want to be recognized by others as a sect or a giant who studies a certain classic, you must first be recruited as a doctor by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Only after you have become a doctor can you be recognized as a doctor.
recognition and approval.
You haven't even done a Ph.D., so it can only mean that you are still a bit immature...
It's just that these giants usually resign using various reasons and excuses after sitting in the PhD position for a few months.
The doctorate officer appointed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty was a gold-plated position for the giants of a hundred schools of thought.
Therefore, these giants are basically all former Ph.D.
Liu De quickly stood up and took the order: "No!"
So he raised his wine bottle and, led by two eunuchs, came to the corner where hundreds of celebrities were sitting.
Seeing Liu De coming over, more than a dozen giants of various schools of thought, who were originally divided into several small factions to discuss and speak together, stood up one after another.
"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you one by one..." A eunuch who led Liu De said to Liu De slowly and softly.
He is different from Zhang De, and even different from most eunuchs. He speaks softly and calmly, and is very comfortable to listen to. The most important thing is that he does not have the coldness that ordinary eunuchs have.
Liu De took a closer look and recognized this person. He turned out to be an acquaintance. In his previous life, Liu Rong was the crown prince. He was the crown prince appointed by his cheap father and the eunuch. Well, he later led troops to purge Su's relatives.
It's him too.
Liu De later heard that this person was the head of the secret service team responsible for collecting intelligence inside and outside the palace for the emperor.
Thinking of this, Liu De began to quietly pay attention to this person.
Liu De believes that there must be spies and spies planted by this person around him, but he doesn't know who they are?
The eunuch led Liu De to the celebrities.
"This is the late Dr. Zhang Hui. Mr. Zhang Gong!" The eunuch introduced an old man to Liu De without any emotion.
"Mr. Zhang, please be polite!" Liu De quickly bowed in salute.
Chao Cuo’s teacher, who dares to take it lightly?
Moreover, in addition to Chao Cuo, the later Tingwei Zhao Yu is also said to have been an auditor under Zhang Hui's sect, and he was considered a half disciple!
Zhang Hui is an old man in his seventies. His body is as thin as a skeleton, but his spirit is very good. He quickly bent down and returned the courtesy: "I don't dare to act like this!"
"This one is the old Master Shen Gong of Chu!" the eunuch continued without hesitation.
Liu De quickly paid tribute again: "Young man Liu De pays homage to Mr. Shen!"
Compared with Zhang Hui, Shen Gong's body was much stronger. At least, Shen Gong's face was plump and rosy. He didn't need anyone to help him, he stood up and bowed his head, saying: "I pay homage to your highness. Your highness must not do it."
So much courtesy!”
"It should!" Liu De said with a smile.
He still respected Shen Gong very much, especially since Liu De was still interested in Wei Wan's widowed daughter.
And Duke Shen is Wei Wan’s mentor...
The eunuch introduced several giants from the Confucian, Legalist, and Huang Lao schools to Liu De.
Then, came the life of a man who was in his forties or almost fifty years old and looked extremely young among the giants.
Liu De looked up at him, waved his hand, stopped the eunuch's introduction, stepped forward, bowed his head and said: "I dare to ask, but Mr. Zidu is in person, student Liu De would like to pay my respects!"
When it comes to today's world, Liu De respects that scholar the most.
There is no doubt that apart from Hu Wusheng, no other person can be found.
Hu Wusheng's courtesy name is Zidu, and there is nothing wrong with Liu De calling him Mr. Zidu in person.
The man was slightly stunned. As a last resort, he bowed to Liu De and said with a wry smile: "I don't dare to be so respectful to your Highness!"
"Deserve it!" Liu De paid his respects again: "Sir, he built the pavilion and taught the scriptures. He teaches without distinction. I have always respected him!"
Today, there is only a giant like Hu Wusheng who openly teaches in Lutai and welcomes all comers. Even some poor children can receive financial support from Hu Wusheng.
In his previous life, Liu De once heard someone say that the Lutai Academy in Hu Wuzidu, in the past twenty years, had educated countless officials with a thousand stones, including two thousand high-ranking officials, one prime minister, and countless other country officials.
Without the thousands of intellectuals and officials cultivated by Hu Wusheng’s twenty or thirty years of hard work and sowing, how could Dong Zhongshu and Liu Che want to end the one hundred schools of thought and only respect Confucianism? Don’t even think about it!
There is no way to have too much respect for such a person!
Liu De then paid his respects again and said: "I heard that Mr. Lutai wrote and taught his children, and it was extremely hard. I would like to report to the emperor and request that Lutai be established as a national garden. All expenses and expenses should be reimbursed by the Shaofu, so that Mr.
Recruit teachers widely, open the door wide, and accept ambitious people from all over the world, regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of their education or distinction!"
When Hu Wusheng heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated.
This is what I think about day and night, and what I want to achieve in my dreams.
Confucius had three thousand disciples at that time. Confucius was able to educate so many disciples. In addition to the tuition fees donated by the students, it would have been impossible without the help of his disciples such as Zixia, Zigong, and Yan Hui.
He also thought about leaving a few disciples who had completed their studies to help him teach his students.
But there is no money!
He didn't have a wealthy disciple like Zigong, so he couldn't learn the methods of Confucius...
He sometimes couldn't even afford the pen and ink necessary for his disciples to practice calligraphy and study!
Not to mention paying salaries to those successful disciples.
He didn't know how many times he had worried about this!
Now Liu De dropped such a big piece of good news as soon as they met. How could he not be excited or happy?
Therefore, Hu Wusheng no longer cared about maintaining his image, and immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Old minister, I would like to express my gratitude to your highness for your kindness to all the scholars and poor people in the world!"
"Sir, there is no need to thank you. This is what you should do!" Liu De said with a smile.
Supporting Hu Wusheng is like killing three birds with one stone for Liu De.
First of all, Hu Wusheng can safely engage in education. In this era, with every additional scholar, the national strength of the Han Dynasty increases, and this is something Liu De likes to see.
Only when there are more scholars, especially poor children, can the scale of Liu De's examinations be continuously expanded. Otherwise, there are only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of scholars in the world, and the examinations are useless. Let's forget about changing them to imperial examinations!
Secondly, Hu Wusheng's Lutai Academy has received state support and financial support, which may transform Gongsun Hong, a generation of evil men, into the second president of Lutai Academy...
Furthermore, it will stimulate all schools of thought.
Huang Laoxue and Legalism are good in everything, but they only educate the children of nobles and big landowners. This is very bad!
Competition must be introduced so that these guys can engage in education obediently. (To be continued...)
