Blessed by the ancestors: I established a thousand-year-old family and established a feudal state, the beginning of kingship. Chapter 14: Preparation before war, sudden change before war! Chang'an City.

It was just at noon, and the blazing sun was baking the earth unbridled. Some of the soldiers guarding were already sweating profusely. From time to time, colleagues would complain, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days. It's only been a few months."

."

But no one dared to relax, because the place they were guarding was called Taixue Palace, and it was filled with students who read the classics of saints. They would become officials in the future. If they slack off now and offend those students, they will definitely be punished in the future.

There is no good fruit to eat.

With the death of Emperor Xiaowen, in recent years near Chang'an, the rangers who had disappeared seemed to have some signs of revival. There were people in the countryside who were wearing swords and claiming to be so-and-so heroes. Among these people, there was a mix of good and bad, although there was no shortage of true meanings.

Bo Yuntian is quite similar to the heroes of Mo Zhe in the past, but he is more of a low-life person who fell into the evil ways of bandits. These guards are there to guard against these people.

Taixue.

One of the holy places in the hearts of all those who aspired to the world in the Han Empire was the Luo Academy in Zhaocheng. These two academic palaces, one in Guandong and the other in Guanzhong, are the two pearls in the hearts of scholars all over the world.

However, there is still a difference between the two. Taixue is used to study classics, and by virtue of being a Taixue student, you can enter the officialdom more quickly, while Luo Academy is more like a kind of further training, because there are some of the best students in the world.

There are a complete collection of classics, the most commentaries by Taoist scholars, and the sermons of Luo Shizi, who has been a master of scriptures all his life. In the past, when King Luo Wen returned to Zhaocheng to worship his ancestors, he gave several lectures. At that time, the crowds were empty.

There is a legend that has been circulating in the world that the doctors who can give lectures in Zhaocheng Academy are at least at the level of senior scholars of various schools, and the best among them can even be called "zi".

If you can take the place of Luo's son in charge of the academy and serve as a wine sacrificer, you will become a saint immediately. Just like Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, etc., they are all recognized sages and are better than other sages called "Zi".

One level higher.

Generally speaking, the Luo Academy is used for enlightenment, and its status is extremely lofty. Its status in the hearts of people in the world cannot be shaken by the Imperial Academy.

However, Taixue also has its own advantages, that is, the emperor often pays attention to the fact that Taixue's offering of wine is a high-ranking official worth two thousand stones. Although Luo Jing is currently serving concurrently, his status can be seen from the level of the official position.

In Taixue, a group of young people are standing scattered in a very large open space. These young people are basically dressed as scribes. Except for the Mohist, the decorations of others are similar. These young people are naturally Taixue.

Students are gathered around here having a heated debate.

However, as the debate progressed, many people gradually put their hands on the swords at their waists, and even began to look for relatively open areas around them. Then the behavior of these people was discovered.

After all, it is too obvious. When you are arguing with someone, and that person suddenly stares at you fiercely without saying a word, with a murderous look on his face and a sword in his hand, how could you not know that he is going to draw his sword and stab you to death?

"What are you doing with your sword? Do you want to show off your evil in this Holy Land of Taixue? Don't think that I, Mr. Huang, are afraid of you Confucians!"

The words were spoken very forcefully, but I still felt a little weak in my heart. There was something wrong with the Confucian scholar in Taixue.

The previous Confucian scholars were also very tough, such as Meng Ru, who dared to stand up to the First Emperor's sword and call himself a single husband. He was also tough when facing Emperor Gao who didn't like Confucian scholars very much, but that kind of toughness was mainly aimed at the emperor and the powerful.

Unyielding in the core.

But when the new doctor Dong Zhongshu entered Taixue, the atmosphere suddenly changed. He said that he would not push too much, but would directly take action. It was really outrageous. Debating classics is about reason, and those who make sense should win.

Even many Confucian schools think that these people are really mentally ill. They even plausibly said: "This is the teaching of the sages. Without generations of sages wielding swords, where did the Xia Dynasty come from? Now it spans thousands of miles of land and territory. Where did it come from?"

The current Zhuxia Kingdom is at its peak!"

This situation didn't get better until Luo Jing came forward to stop it. Debate is really about reasoning. You can use physics to promote the truth to Siyi, but you still have to argue. After all, the more you argue, the clearer the truth becomes. The more you debate, the better.

Progress, just like in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large part of the reason why progress can be so fast is because various schools of thought attack each other's weaknesses every day and force them to progress.

Even Luo Family has internal debates from time to time. Sometimes Luo Family doesn't know which direction to go and needs to gather everyone's wisdom to jointly find out and fill in the gaps.

"Now is the age of prosperity. The Huns are powerful. In recent years, they have repeatedly invaded the borders of my Han Dynasty and plundered my Han people. Is such a shame intolerable? Who can't bear it?

The power of the Hu people is strong. This is a crisis for all the Xia. If it is not eliminated early, tigers will one day become a problem. In such a big world, you Huang Lao are still clinging to the old. You talk about a small country with a few people and the rule of the world, and hiding wealth.

The people will naturally be prosperous if the imperial court does not interfere. Holy masters and wise kings like Emperor Xiaowen have turned to Confucianism to govern the country. You still don't want to make progress. Now you are still here debating scriptures with a certain person. Get out quickly and I won't talk to you anymore."

The slap in the face made the old scholar Huang on the other side blush. After Liu Heng established Taixue in the later period, the Han Dynasty not only used Confucian scholars as officials, but also began to gradually abandon Huang Laoxue's philosophy of governing the country and began to use Confucianism to govern the country.

idea.

Although it has not reached the point of deposing hundreds of schools of thought, other schools of thought are already in a subordinate position. The only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Heng consciously balanced the number of officials of each school of thought in the court. This prevented other schools of thought from being replaced as they had been in history.

You need to change your appearance as a Confucian scholar to become an official, but you can still enter the court by virtue of your identity as a student of Huang Lao, or even a student of Legalism and Mohism.

But the problem is that there are endless Confucian talents who value education, especially in the interpretation of classics, and they have gradually lifted up other schools of thought.

Then the Spring and Autumn Confucian scholars began to actively build momentum for the war, but some schools were dragging their feet, which naturally led to their decline. Among the current Taixue, it is Dong's Spring and Autumn Confucian scholars who are quarreling with all directions, and other Confucian schools are following behind and making jabs from time to time. Meng Ru is stable

Steadyly occupying one's position, always preaching the ideals of kingship, and preventing various schools of thought from going to extremes.

"It is really alarmist. The Han Dynasty is the lord of the Xia, and it is the destiny of heaven. In the past, the land of the Xia was no more than a thousand miles, the population was only a million, and barbarians were all over the world. At that time, they still survived and had the current foundation.

Now Zhuxia has a land of thousands of miles and tens of millions of people, while the Hu people are only a few million. If the difference is ten times, can they still pose a threat to the Han Dynasty?

When a war breaks out, corvee and military service will be imposed, and countless amounts of food, cloth, weapons, and people will be wasted in vain. What good does this do to the big man?

Is it to allow some people to dye his seal and red robe red with the blood of the common people?"

As soon as he said this, even his companions directly pulled him to stop talking. Through continuous publicity in the past few years, a trend has gradually emerged among the people. Now, we have to fight even if we don't want to. It is no longer a certain person.

Things that people can control.

Upon hearing this, the Confucian scholar put away his sword and sneered: "Stupid, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Your Majesty's imperial edict will tell the world what is the general trend."

…

In Changle Palace, Liu Chezheng was watching with great interest the feedback from various governors and state ministers, and said excitedly: "This is what people's hearts can do. With such people's hearts, how can we lose?"

The human heart is the toughest and easiest thing to change in the world. In recent years, through the continuous advocacy of the Spring and Autumn Confucian scholars, the idea of ​​​​incompatibility between the Han and the Xiongnu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Coupled with the constant harassment of small groups by the Xiongnu, the Spring and Autumn Period has been verified.

Everyone firmly believes in Confucianism's theory of no two kings. If the Xiongnu is not eliminated, the Han will eventually be eliminated. Fighting against the Xiongnu has gradually become politically correct. More and more people have written letters. Liu Che has not expressed his position or spoken.

But this attitude was a hint, so more and more people wrote letters.

"Report!"

A high-pitched report came from outside Changle Palace. Liu Che's face tightened upon hearing the sound. This kind of news without prior communication was military information. The attendant hurried in, holding a battle report and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Huns

Another small group invaded the northern border and killed thousands of people in the counties. Nearly fifty Han soldiers were killed and thousands more were plundered."

Liu Che's face was instantly filled with anger. Thousands of people were killed and wounded, and thousands were looted. This was a naked slap in his face. Moreover, fifty Han soldiers were killed. If it can be recorded in the book, it must be a regular Han army.

, the Han army in the entire Chang'an City was only twenty to thirty thousand, which was the fundamental reason why the Han court was frightening the four parties, but this time it actually damaged fifty?

"Where are the Huns?"

Liu Che suppressed his anger forcibly. If the Huns suffered more casualties, he could not make an order just based on his own casualties.

The attendant was lying on the ground. He was so close to Liu Che and could clearly feel the anger of His Majesty the Emperor. He was afraid that the Emperor would kill him if he was in a bad mood. An eunuch has no status. He said tremblingly: "Report.

Your Majesty, behead the thirteenth level."

This sentence instantly made Liu Che's anger burst out. Even if the casualties were one to one, it was normal, but one to five, wasn't this embarrassing?

"What do Captain Yanshan and King Yanshan do for food?"

Liu Che pulled out the sword beside him with a bang and shouted loudly: "It is your duty to protect the soil. Is this how these two losers protect the soil for me?

According to my decree, Yanshan's title was deprived of his title and he was sent to Chang'an to apologize. The captain of Yanshan escorted him directly to Chang'an. I wanted to ask whether he wanted to go to Lingnan or Qiongzhou.
