Yingchuan Academy is a local private school in Yingchuan.
During the reign of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, a large number of scholars went out of court and lost their positions in the court due to the eunuchs' campaign to suppress the party.
In order to maintain their popularity and reputation, many lower-level scholars gathered in Yingchuan County, the hometown of the famous scholar Li Ying.
Li Ying was the first-class celebrity in the era of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, and was known as the "model for the world." If a scholar could meet Li Ying, he would be regarded as a great honor, and he would even call it "climbing the Dragon Gate."
Xun Shuang, one of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, once went to visit Li Ying and even drove Li Ying's carriage. When he came back, he was so excited that snot bubbles came out of his nose.
——"Today I have to conquer Li Jun." (Don't think wrongly)
They gave lectures and praised each other here, and it became a holy place for scholars all over the world.
Later, the disaster caused by the party's imprisonment ushered in the ultimate redress.
The man who upholds justice for the world's scholars and recruits these upright people as officials is called Dong Zhuo.
This is so fucking embarrassing.
You must know that the Eastern Han Dynasty was an era of dual responsibility system. Ministers were responsible to the emperor, but officials recommended by ministers were responsible to the court as well as to the leaders.
If the recommended official has done well, the recommender will be credited. If the recommended official makes a mistake, the recommender will generally bear joint and several liability.
This is a real blessing and a blessing.
If the relationship between the recommended officials and the emperor can be summarized as loyalty, then the relationship between the recommended officials and the emperor can be summarized as righteousness.
Put yourself in your shoes, if a senior official of the imperial court would rather take the risk of being dragged into the water, cry and make a fuss, and recommend you as an official, how would you feel in your heart?
Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era when justice was valued, in the hearts of most officials, their feelings for the governor were higher than their loyalty to the emperor.
And the closer you are to the imperial power, the less awe you feel towards the word loyalty.
They know very well who they are.
In short, to paraphrase the saying of Western feudalism, "The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals."
After Dong Zhuo's death, why did Cai Yong, a great scholar, lament for Dong Zhuo in public? Even in the end, he was killed because of this incident?
Didn't he know that "kill Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty" was the political correctness of the time?
So why did he take such a big risk?
There is only one answer.
Dong Zhuo was Cai Yong's successor.
So besides that, is it Cai Yong who has deep feelings for Dong Zhuo?
Neither.
At first Dong Zhuo wanted Cai Yong to become an official, but Cai Yong originally refused. In the end, Grand Master Dong directly came to force him, threatening that if Cai Yong didn't come, his whole family would be hacked to death.
Cai Yong then rushed to serve Dong Zhuo as an official.
After arriving, the eldest boss Dong Zhuo directly regarded Cai Yong as a treasure in his palm. He successively served as the censor, the censor, and the minister. Within three days, he visited three places.
In the second year, he was directly given to General Zuo Zhonglang and was even granted the title of Marquis.
Therefore, no matter how much Cai Yong disliked such a favor, he had to swallow it with tears.
Just like back then, Linqiong Ghost King followed Yu Xian's teachings meticulously, and finally cut off the corpse to save his life. Then, whether Yu Xian admits it or not, Linqiong Ghost King will be regarded as Yu Xian's disciple by the world.
Because the door was welded shut, there was no chance of jumping out of the car.
So after Dong Zhuo died, Cai Yong could only go down the road of death.
It would be okay if Cai Yong was thick-skinned, but the key is that he wants to be shameless.
Even if Dong Zhuo is really a rebellious traitor who killed the king, he must speak up for Dong Zhuo, because that is his political correctness.
Without this political correctness, Cai Yong would be penniless among the scholars.
Cai Yong's surrender to the regicide Dong Zhuo was unfaithful; if he continues to be known as unjust, there will be no place for him in the world, no matter how big it is.
In such a large social environment, those scholars in Yingchuan were in trouble.
After finally getting the eunuch out of power, he was raped by Dong Zhuo.
So those guys who stayed in Yingchuan could only scold Dong Zhuo while continuing to teach disciples and impart knowledge in Yingchuan.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was quickly killed by Lu Bu, and many people were still thinking about it and asked his disciples to go out and look for opportunities to dominate the troubled times.
Nowadays, in Yingchuan Academy, although there are many scholars from all over the country, the dominant ones are several major local aristocratic families.
They are the Zhong family of Yingchuan, the leading figure is Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang; the Chen family of Yingchuan, the leading figure is Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang, and now it is his son Chen Qun and Chen Changwen who come out to cause trouble; the Xun family of Yingchuan, the leading figure is
Xun Shuang, it was the younger generation Xun Ou and Xun You who came out to cause trouble; the Han family in Yingchuan, the leading figure was Han Rong, and the one who came out to cause trouble was Han Fu, but this one was more tragic, because Han Fu was a disciple of the Yuan family, and he was Wu first.
He provided logistics for Yuan Shao without any regrets, and then Yuan Shao directly took his position as Jizhou Mu.
When Yu Xian entered Yingchuan and inquired about it, he found out that the person in charge of the academy was Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang.
This old man was first recommended by He Jin and worshiped as Wu Guan Zhong Lang Jiang, and then moved to the position of servant. Not long after, he was appointed as Pingyuan Prime Minister. Just in time for the death of Emperor Ling, the world was in chaos. Chen Ji felt that it was better to
Weixiao's development was more stable, so he simply returned to his hometown.
Not long ago, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Mr. Chen suddenly remembered that he was still from Pingyuan, so he planned to come out and make some more contributions to the people of Pingyuan.
As a result, upon inquiry, it was found that a young hooligan named Liu Bei and his two stinky younger brothers had occupied the position of Prime Minister of Pingyuan. Coupled with the sudden rise of Dong Bai, the Marquis of Xi, and regained control of the government, Chen Ji finally stopped thinking and felt at ease.
Teach disciples at home.
Yu Xian asked about Xu Shu again, but unfortunately this good nephew seemed to have been traveling abroad, and many people said they had not seen him for a long time.
Without Xu Shu's introduction, it would be a little more troublesome to enter Yingchuan Academy, but the advantage is that I can hide my identity for a longer time.
Yu Xian was afraid that something might happen if he delayed for too long, so he immediately walked towards the mountain gate of Yingchuan Academy.
There is a pavilion far away.
Inside, there were two young scholars who looked like they were playing chess. When they saw Yu Xian coming over, they immediately stood up with a smile and asked, "Is it possible that Brother Xian wants to visit Yingchuan Academy?"
Another person standing by asked directly, "Whose descendant is the guest? Is he a famous assassin?"
Naturally, Yu Xian couldn't tell his name. He pretended to be puzzled and asked with a smile, "What? Does it mean that admission to Yingchuan Academy depends on a person's background?"
The young man thought, naturally he wanted to find out his family background.
It's just that it's hard to explain clearly.
He immediately said, "That's not the case. Yingchuan Academy is a private school, and most of the students who come to study are our relatives and friends. Of course, if there are celebrities who are truly talented and knowledgeable, we, Yingchuan Academy, will also welcome them.
"
The person before also saw that Yu Xian was not from their Yingchuan circle, so he simply asked politely, "Brother Xian is here, I think there must be a guard of honor. I wonder what kind of classics Brother Xian governs?"
Yu Xian said to his heart, it’s coming, it’s coming!
The chain of contempt among ancient literati has begun!
