Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, feeling nervous.
He stood up and spoke with impulse, but he never expected to get a reply from the emperor and the generals at the same time, and it was so direct.
It would be fine if the emperor was. Zhou Buyi once said that the emperor was approachable and got along well with the young men around him. However, the Taiwei Jia Xu was a gloomy man and had a deep cunning life.
How could he answer the presumptuous question of his young minister who had just joined the company for a few days?
Could it be that I am too intense?
Seeing that Jiang Wan was uneasy, Liu Xie smiled, reached out and pressed down, signaling Jiang Wan to return to his seat.
Jiang Wan's mind was blank and she returned to her seat in a daze. Only then did she remember that she had not yet thanked her, so she quickly apologized to Liu Xie.
"Thank you Your Majesty for forgiveness for your impolite crime."
Liu Xie nodded with a smile, but said in his heart that this Jiangnan man is indeed very reckless. Even gentle people like Jiang Wan have a hot temper, let alone others.
"Young people are motivated and not afraid of adults is a good thing, but they must dare to face reality." Jia Xu said lightly: "I hope you can also use this courage to learn. Mencius said that Confucius is a saint.
Time. One era must have a saint of another era. Don’t think that it will never change forever just because the saint has said anything. “
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment, thinking something was wrong, and couldn't find a reason to refute it.
What he wanted to uphold was Dong Zhongshu's point of view, but Jia Xu used the more popular Mencius' point of view nowadays. Both of them were Confucian sages. Which one was right and which one was wrong?
You can't say that Mencius was wrong, Dong Zhongshu was even more clever, right?
Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't say anything, her face turned red, Liu Xie didn't say anything else.
Although Jiang Wan is smart, her Confucianism is limited and she is far from being able to argue with others, let alone facing a wise man like Jia Xu. However, with his talent, it will not take long to slowly change his ideas.
.
The advantage of young people is that they can accept new ideas.
Liu Xie returned to the topic and discussed the issue of Jianlu School with Jia Xu.
He had similar ideas before, but he had not discussed them publicly. The reason is still the old problem. The Legalists give people a bad impression, and it is troublesome to get involved. He has a bad impression of the Legalists, so he doesn't want to be simple.
The study of existing law was regarded as an officially recognized science, which aroused excessively fierce reactions from Confucian scholars.
However, Jia Xu suggested that Gao Rou, who has a background in Confucianism, was a plan worth considering.
Zhou Zhong recommended Gao Rou because of Gao Rou's portal.
The ability of the Gao family in Chenliu to marry the Yuan family in Runan is naturally not an ordinary portal.
In fact, there is a fact that many people ignore or deliberately hide. The origin of the Legalists is not in Guanzhong. In the Warring States Period, Han and Wei, and now in Ruying, the Ruying area. Needless to say, Xunzi is from Xinzheng, Yingchuan.
Li Si was from Shangcai, Runan. Even after three hundred years of Confucianism, there were still many families in Ruying that passed on the family tradition of law studies.
This is true for the Guo family in Yangdi and the Gao family in Chenliu.
Gao Rou came forward to establish the Law School, and even if the Confucian school had opinions, it would not be so intense.
After repeated weighing, Liu Xie accepted Jia Xu's suggestion, circulated Zhou Zhong, put forward the suggestions of Jianlu Academy, and asked Zhou Zhong to recommend suitable candidates for priests.
He did not point out Gao Rou, but he believed that with Zhou Zhong's good reputation, Gao Rou would definitely give priority to being the sacrificial tribute to the Ru Academy instead of staying in Sikong's Mansion as the chief minister.
Jiang Wan then re-wrote the edict based on Jia Xu's opinion, used the seal, and then issued it with a clutch.
——
As Liu Xie expected, after receiving the edict, although Zhou Zhong opposed the Lu Academy from the bottom of his heart, he also knew that this was the general trend and that the children of aristocratic families would be promoted by the emperor than the people chosen by the emperor.
Let's push better.
For Gao Rou himself, being the first priest of the Law School is more promising than being the chief of the Sikong Mansion. In the future, it can not only be engraved on the tombstone, but also written into history.
The only one who suffered damage was himself. He had to continue to suffer without a right-hand man.
Zhou Zhong quickly made a decision and recommended Gao Rou as the Lu Tangtang priest, while Man Chong became Sikong Changshi, who was specifically responsible for the Changsha case.
Man Chong and Gao Rou were both subordinates of the Sikong Mansion. Zhou Zhong directly issued a document without the consent of the emperor. He ordered Man Chong to quickly hand over the affairs in his hands and rushed to the new position.
Gao Rou was in Zhou Zhong's entourage. After receiving the order, he immediately set off and rushed to Quanling.
Unlike Zhou Zhong who was a little reluctant, he was very satisfied with this new appointment, even with the same thoughts.
Although he was only thirty years old, he had been an official in the county for many years and had handled many cases. He was only implicated by high-ranking officials and could not leave Chenliu County, and he was not even able to appear in front of the emperor. This time, he was recommended by Zhou Zhong and could become the Law School.
The first wine sacrificial ceremony was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
There are rumors that the emperor values law and is only worried that the opposition is too loud, so he has never publicly promoted it. This time, the establishment of the Law School was still in the name of cultivating county officials.
However, as the concept of "ruling the country by law" is gradually recognized, the study of attaching importance to the study of law will inevitably be put on the agenda. Just as Confucianism needs reform, if the law wants to be recognized by more people, it also needs a change to be carried out with others.
The impression of Legalist paintings clear the boundaries.
For this reason, he had been preparing for several years and even studied some laws of the Western Regions, thinking that the stones from other mountains were just waiting for the opportunity to speak to the emperor.
In the end of June, Gao Rou arrived at Quanling, but failed to meet the emperor as soon as possible.
He fell ill.
The climate in the south is humid, and there has been a flood before. Maybe it is because of the rush to travel, the body is exhausted, the water I drink is not clean, and the result is dysentery, vomiting and bleeding from the top, and the person becomes deformed within two days.
After receiving the news, Liu Xie sent an imperial physician and asked Gao Rou to rest assured and not to rush for a moment.
Building a Lu School is a big event and requires full preparation. He is choosing a location, so Gao Rou can make some preparations first to see which teaching materials are needed, make a list, and prepare it by Yinfang.
Gao Rou was very grateful and carefully drafted a list of books and asked someone to hand them over to Liu Xie.
He originally thought he would lie in bed for a while, but to his surprise. After the imperial physician prescribed the medicine, he only took it for two days before his body recovered and he could even get up and walk around.
"My doctor." Gao Rou was so grateful, but she was very grateful.
His father Gao Jing died of illness when he was an official in Shu County. He traveled thousands of miles to Shu County to attend funerals and tried all the hard work. It took three years to bring his father's coffin back to his hometown for burial.
The Imperial Doctor who came to treat him by the imperial edict did not agree with it. "This disease is very common in the local area, and there are ready-made methods and medicinal materials. The Imperial Doctor Office had prepared a few years ago. Your medicine only added some qi to replenish your qi.
There is nothing strange about the medicinal materials. It’s better so quickly, but you are still young and in good health.”
Gao Rou was very surprised. "The emperor was preparing to come to Jiangnan a few years ago?"
"It's not for the emperor, but for the southern expedition." The imperial physician smiled proudly. "For the soldiers of the southern expedition, being unacceptable to the local conditions is more dangerous than the rebels. Our Imperial Medical Office studies medicines and medicinal materials in various places, and first of all, prepares these soldiers.
Although we cannot shoot arrows, we are also an indispensable taxi for the country."
