General Gongyang Yuan Shu passed away at the age of fifty.
Those who heard it felt sad beyond words.
Yuan Shu was arrogant when he was young. He also worshiped the great Confucian He Zi as his teacher and specialized in governing Gongyang. After He Zi passed away, he joined the army alone. From a soldier's body, he was promoted to captain, military lord, Sima, and school captain. As for General Zuo, he gained military exploits.
He was so illustrious that his enemies were frightened, so he entered the temple and became the Third Duke. He dismissed his official position and returned to his family because of his serious injuries to his relatives. He taught the prince and taught the classics in a good way. He once proposed the theory of three generations and three riches, which was the first of Gongyang's. Later he worshiped the Taifu and helped the Sili school
The lieutenant made great achievements in clearing out the traitors in Sili.
Established "Gongyang Chunqiu Exegesis Continuation" and handed it down to the world.
The emperor personally mourned him. As Yuan Shu's friend for many years, the emperor felt extremely sad for his passing. Everyone came to see him off. This was the end of this great military exploits and unruly life of General Gongyang.
Although he has passed away, his reputation remains.
At that time, Guan Yu lent Yuan Shu's "Gongyang Jieju" to the library for copying. The four hundred copies were distributed to various places, and they were borrowed within three days. Due to Yuan Shu's wish, this book was also
It became the only book in the library that could be borrowed or even copied, and many of the contents about the New Deal, including The Wealth of the Nation and the People, made scholars suddenly realize that Gong Yang, written by Yuan Shu, was less popular than before.
A bit angry.
He did not overly comment on the content of revanchism. He was more inclined to the general strategy of governing the country and the strategies of governing the world, including attaching importance to the role of finance in the country, attaching importance to the guiding role of scholar-bureaucrats in the common people, and attaching importance to the daily lives of the common people.
In these three aspects, first of all, as a Confucian classic, he proposed for the first time that temples must pay attention to finance. You must know that those who pay attention to national finance are Legalists, and Confucianism has never cared about this.
But Yuan Shu's description of this in the book is particularly strong, and he even proposed several ways to increase finances. He once served as Sikong and had some experience in this aspect. He paid special attention to overseas countries and believed that the future of the Han Dynasty
The way out for him must be overseas, and he also proposed a policy of preferential treatment for scholar-officials. He believed that as the backbone of the country, if scholar-officials were deprived of their salaries and not reused, the country would definitely have problems.
On this point, everyone has mixed opinions.
However, the scholars enjoyed it very much. After all, they were the beneficiaries, so they praised the book very much. The other thing is the lives of the people. Nowadays, what officials care about is not the lives of the people, but their own political achievements.
Whether it was building water conservancy or cultivating mulberry trees, they all focused on political achievements and wanted to do great things. Yuan Shu was disgusted with this kind of behavior. He believed that the greatest achievement of an official was to make the people under his rule
The people live a prosperous life and are not forced by hunger or cold.
As soon as this book was published, Yuan Zi's title appeared immediately, and Yuan Zi, like many virtuous ministers, entered the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs.
Under the influence of this book, Gongyang once again rose to prominence. Because he did not explain too much about revanchism, this book was even more acceptable to the ministers. Previously, Gongyang was famous for his revanchism.
It is so strong that people often kill officials and officials, and are not welcomed by the ministers. Now this book comes at the right time!!
Yuan Zi's death gradually passed, and everyone's attention was attracted by this book.
However, there are some people who never forget it.
Just like the Han prince, Liu Mastiff, since the death of Yuan Zi, he stayed in the side courtyard of Yuan Mansion all day long, staying behind closed doors. It can be seen that the death of Yuan Zi had a huge impact on him, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi
, failed to persuade him, he stayed in the house and refused to come out.
"Madam... I have been there eight times, but His Highness just refuses to come out... What can I do?" Zhuge Liang said helplessly. Princess Raoyang sat on the bed with a big belly and full eyes.
Out of anger, she looked at Zhuge Liang in front of her and said: "You don't want to come out? Are you coming back? That's my nephew!! If you don't go, then I will go there and bring him out myself!!"
Princess Raoyang said and stood up.
Zhuge Liang was also a little angry and said: "He is your nephew, is it possible that I don't care about him? He has not yet gotten over the pain and refuses to see me. How can I convince him? You
I’m about to give birth, I can’t worry about raising the baby, and I still have to move around!!”
Hearing Zhuge Liang's reprimand, Princess Raoyang stared at him with tears in her eyes, looked at her abdomen, slapped her abdomen with her palm, and cursed: "It's all this boy's fault, it's all him! I can't see my brother,
Now I can't even see my nephew, it's all his fault!", she cursed and threatened to fight again. Zhuge Liang could not bear this. He was so frightened that he almost knelt down and said nervously: "Madam, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Don’t do anything, I’ll go right now, I’ll go right now!!!”
Zhuge Liang shouted, watching Princess Raoyang stop, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I didn't see my little niece either... Now she's fine, even my nephew..."
"Okay, madam, I'll go right away. Also, don't worry about Princess Changling all the time. By next year, madam will be able to see her..." Zhuge Liang comforted him for a while, and then walked out helplessly.
After arriving at the mansion, he really didn't know how to comfort the prince. He knew in his heart that for the prince, Yuan Shu was more like his father than the emperor, just like Liu Gong was to him. With such grief, he wanted to leave.
It's really not easy to come out.
In the past, it took him a full year to let go of his grief and return to Luoyang with Liu Gong's legacy.
And Liu Mastiff is not very old now. How long will it take for him to get rid of this grief? Zhuge Liang thought, but he was walking on the street helplessly. As he was walking, a person suddenly stopped in front of him.
Zhuge Liang raised his head and saw that it was Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy. Zhuge Liang quickly paid his respects. Guan Yu dismounted and returned the greeting. Zhuge Liang was a little surprised and asked: "Why are you here??"
"I asked for a day off..." Guan Yu said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty..."
Zhuge Liang nodded with helplessness on his face. Guan Yu asked doubtfully, "Why are you so upset after not seeing me for a few days? But what happened?"
Zhuge Liang said: "The matter about the prince...Since Yuan Gong passed away, the prince has stayed in the house all day and no longer goes out. Everyone is very worried, and he doesn't see anyone else..." Zhuge Liang told the story about Liu Mastiff, and Guan Yu
Nodding, he asked again: "Where is the Emperor?"
"What can the emperor do about this matter? He had sent Huangmen to pick him up before, but the prince refused to come out. The emperor had no choice. The emperor's teacher also died when he was young. He also understood the grief, so there was no punishment.
..." Zhuge Liang said and sighed helplessly, but Guan Yu said: "Don't worry Kong Ming, I have a way..." Before Zhuge Liang could react, Guan Yu rode away.
Zhuge Liang watched him leave with some surprise and wanted to go back to his mansion. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and go to Yuan's mansion.
Guan Yu rode his horse and galloped all the way directly to the Sili Xiaowei Mansion. The Sili Xiaowei was located in Luoyang. In the twelfth year of Jianning, Luoyang became the seat of Sili. Guan Yu rushed here, but there was no
Knocking on the door, he walked in directly. As soon as he walked in, he smelled the stench and pungent smell of alcohol. Guan Yu quickly quickened his pace and walked into the study, but there was no one there. He looked for them one by one, and finally in the backyard
I saw Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong sat on the ground, sound asleep, surrounded by wine bottles.
Guan Yu was furious, walked to Hua Xiong's side, and kicked him away.
Hua Xiong immediately opened his eyes, sat up unsteadily, his whole body exuded a strong smell of alcohol, and his eyes were still drunk, and he muttered: "Captain, don't rush me, I'll keep drinking, keep drinking!!"
", he said, looked up, and saw Guan Yu. He frowned and asked with some confusion: "Changsheng?? When did you die???"
Guan Yu ignored him and suddenly shouted: "Where is Sima Huaxiong of the Northern Army?!"
"I'm here!!" Hua Xiong suddenly jumped up and stood up straight. In an instant, he also woke up from the wine. He widened his eyes and looked around before he breathed a sigh of relief. Back then, he was drinking in the military camp.
, was beaten many times, and suddenly saw Guan Yu in front of him, he shook his head again, "Changsheng?? Why are you here??" He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little sore, and Guan Yu said: "Your Highness, these days
I stay behind closed doors all day long and feel sad all day long. I wanted you to try to persuade me, but to my surprise, you are also like this..."
"Is there such a thing?" Hua Xiong asked in surprise, then smiled quickly and said, "It's okay, I'll go find him... Is he in Yuan Mansion?"
Guan Yu nodded, "You'd better clean up well and don't stun the prince... wash yourself..."
"I know, go ahead and do your work. I will leave this matter to me...I think I am an eloquent person, but this matter is not..." Before Hua Xiong could finish speaking, Guan Yu left in a hurry.
Xiong shook his head with some disdain and went to wash up. Not long after, he left the mansion and went to Yuan Mansion. This was the first time he went to Yuan Mansion after Yuan Shu died. When he came to Yuan Mansion, there was nothing strange about him.
There is no trace of sadness at all.
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the front yard when he saw Hua Xiong burst in and walked carelessly towards the side yard. Zhuge Liang quickly stood up to pay his respects. Seeing Zhuge Liang here, Hua Xiong stopped and said, "Kong Ming? You too?"
Here??Why, aren't you usually very smart? Why can't you do anything??" When he asked this question, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer. He coughed and asked with some doubts:
"Captain Hua, why haven't I seen you in the past half month? You didn't seem to be at the funeral either?"
"Oh...I was very drunk that day, so I didn't come over..." Hua Xiong said.
Zhuge Liang fell into a sluggish state. If he hadn't known Hua Xiong's temperament, he would have taken action against him now. Mr. Yuan has passed away. As a general, it's okay if you don't come because of important matters, and you go to drink.
??
Ignoring Zhuge Liang, who was stunned, Hua Xiong walked directly towards the side courtyard, humming a tune, quite cheerfully.
Many servants of the Yuan Mansion suppressed the anger in their hearts and stared at him coldly as they walked into the side courtyard.
