The emperor pushed Zhang He away in front of him, walked to Cao Cao's side, frowned, looked around, and said: "Get up..." Everyone got up slowly. Now, because of the merit system, these
The scholars had special respect for the emperor. The emperor valued Confucianism and reused young scholars like them. In addition, the students of Taixue constantly cheered for the emperor.
These scholars almost worshiped the emperor.
The emperor looked at Ma Jun's father who was shivering on the ground, looked at the embroidered messengers around him, pointed at him, and said, "Where is the embroidered messenger?" Immediately, the embroidered messenger came forward and detained him.
The little fat man squinted his eyes, stared at him, and asked: "Take him to the prison of Xiuyi Mansion!" The man looked gray, let go of Ma Jun, and said: "Your Majesty, my child is still in a junior grade.
It’s all my fault, he is innocent!”
Wen Rencheng slowly walked out from the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, it was my fault that I made a mistake in my haste. It is not this person's fault. If Your Majesty wants to blame me, just arrest me!" When he heard what he said,
Ma Jun's father was so excited that he almost cried. The scholars around him were also a little shocked, and they secretly admired him. He was indeed a world-famous scholar!
The emperor looked at Ma Jun who was looking at the attack gratefully, and asked with some confusion: "Because of them, I am besieged here, and you have been beaten, why do you still defend them?"
, Wen Renxi said solemnly: "These things happened all because of myself. How can I blame others for my own fault? What's more, his child Ma Jun rarely has great talents."
"He will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future, and I can't bear to destroy him."
The emperor waved his hand, and immediately a messenger in embroidered clothes came forward and arrested Wen Renxi as well. The emperor looked at Ma Jun and his father on the side and said, "You can leave...", Ma Jun
His father's face turned red with embarrassment. He looked at Wen Renxi in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of ordinary people. Please let Wen Renxi go!"
The surrounding scholars were already a little shocked by the details of the apology. They all begged: "Your Majesty, just release these two people. We are willing to share the same sin with them!!" The emperor sighed and just now
Said: "No matter what, you are all the future pillars of the country. If I damage the future of the country because of my own safety, this is not what a king should do... let him go!"
The messenger of embroidered clothes let go of Wenren's attack.
The moved scholars bowed to the emperor one after another, their eyes full of enthusiasm. We are so lucky to have such a wise king, the common people and scholars of the Han Dynasty.
Later, when Wenren attacked and collected Ma, all of whom were disciples, it naturally happened naturally without any obstruction. When the emperor returned to the palace under the protection of many embroidered messengers, what happened on this day was the same as what happened outside the stone scriptures.
Time turned out to be the talk of the day. Everyone was moved by the virtues of Wen Renxi and Ma Sun. Even Ma Jun gained the reputation of a child prodigy.
The emperor's words also spread widely.
The wheels of time slowly passed by, and the entire Han Dynasty began to gradually become stronger in a strange atmosphere. Such strength was not only reflected in the prosperity of the economy, the development of agriculture, and the elite army, but also by the
From the inside out, the large-scale promotion of Gongyang Studies naturally had many bad effects. Fighting and killings, and the killing of state officials occurred frequently in various places.
But even so, the people of the Han Dynasty still raised their heads high under the influence of Gongyang Xue. This was most common in frontier fortresses. The Han people who raised their heads high still looked down upon the people outside the fortress.
, in some areas, if you do not understand the Han language, you will be looked down upon. The Han people already believe in their hearts that the Han inherits the destiny.
The Emperor is where the destiny lies, and as the common people of the Han Dynasty, they also uphold the core of the world where the way of heaven is. Under this understanding, those scholars who went out to promote Confucianism summarized their actions as promoting civilization and promoting the great road.
, is a path comparable to that of saints. They are very much like missionaries thousands of years later, going around to promote their own views and beliefs.
They used their advanced civilization to launch different invasions. Their footprints spread all over almost all countries around the Han Dynasty. They made the name Han Dynasty an existence that these people admired in their hearts, and made the Han civilization the most orthodox culture.
, the emperor still underestimated their role. Their role was not just to make those countries outside the Great Wall bow their heads.
The most ruthless ones were the merchants of the Han Dynasty. Because of the extremely strict business taxes, in order to obtain profits, they took advantage of the surrounding countries. When conducting transactions, they united and did not want the other party's currency and demanded the use of the Han Dynasty's currency.
Copper coins, because there is a lack of copper coins here, coupled with the constant extortion of these businessmen, they have plundered a lot of wealth.
With just a few dozen copper coins, I gained thousands and tens of thousands of dollars of wealth!!
Such huge profits, coupled with the previous destruction of Liangzhou, made most people in Liangzhou become merchants. From the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions to Guzang County in Liangzhou, a long economic chain was formed. The plunder of merchants was comparable to
They wielded scimitars and plundered more effectively. In a short period of time, the purchasing power of copper coins covered tens of thousands of miles around the Han Dynasty.
Even in the West, such unique currencies began to appear, and news of the extremely powerful empire in the East was spread by merchants.
The ninth year of Jianning, the year Bingchen
In the first month of the first month, the barbarians in Yizhou County rebelled against the Han and secretly detained Yong Zhi, the prefect of Yizhou.
The emperor was furious, but at this moment the elite Han army was still on the northern grasslands, and the military strength was somewhat empty, so he sent Zhu Gui, the censor Zhongcheng, to lead the county soldiers to attack Yizhou, because Zhu Gui led the counties in the Chang'an area of Hanzhong.
The soldiers did not know the complex terrain of Yizhou and did not bring a guide, so his guard was defeated by the barbarians. The censor, Zhu Gui, was arrested for the crime of defeat.
The emperor was furious and wanted to dispatch the elite troops of the Northern Army to march into Yizhou. All the officials tried to persuade him that these were just minor disturbances. They were detaining the governor, not to execute him. If the Northern Army were to be used, it would cost a lot of materials and manpower. Taiwei Zhang
Wen Shangzhi asked Li Yong, a subordinate of Taiwei, to be the prefect of Yizhou County, and to work with Chongzhi, the governor of Yizhou, to fight against the thieves.
The emperor wanted to quickly quell the war, so he agreed to Zhang Wen's request. After Li Yong arrived in Yizhou County, he discussed with Chongzhi, the governor of Yizhou, and did not summon soldiers from the county and county. Instead, he used soldiers who were also familiar with the mountain terrain of Yizhou.
Li Yong took the lead in attacking the Banzhen barbarians. He defeated them in three battles and made all the barbarians surrender. After asking, he learned.
It turned out that in order to obtain political achievements, the prefect Yongzhi forcibly forced the barbarians to move from their hometowns, and expelled the soldiers from the villages to destroy the mountains and forests and establish farmland. These barbarians did not get the corresponding cultivated land and lost their homes. Out of resentment towards the prefect, they just
They rebelled against the Han, and said they were against the Han. In fact, they were just flying this banner. They didn't even kill the prefect, and they didn't kill the soldiers in the previous battles.
They handed over the captured soldiers and governor, and Li Yong reported the matter to the emperor.
The emperor ordered Zhang He to capture Yongzhi, but he committed suicide in prison.
No matter what you say, this incident has given a very bad start to the new year.
