Yang Xiu went out in a bad mood and met Cai Yan head-on.
"What's wrong?" Cai Yan slowed down and asked in a low voice.
After listening to Yang Xiu's new poem, the emperor was in a good mood. Not only did he talk to Yang Xiu for a long time, he also kept Yang Xiu for dinner.
Why did Yang Xiu have this expression? Is it because dinner is too simple?
Yang Xiu spread his hands, looked helpless, bowed his hands, and turned around and left.
Cai Yan was confused, but he didn't ask much.
Yang Xiu has such a temper and has become much calmer recently, but he is still far from a real minister.
After entering the atrium, Liu Xie was walking in the courtyard. When he saw Cai Yan coming in with a book in his arms, he signaled her to put it on the table and said, "What book do you want to read today?"
"The Biography of the Scholars in the Book of the Taishi Gong."
Liu Xie's heart moved.
Yesterday I read the "Biography of the Party and the Prison" in "The Record of the Han Dynasty in Dongguan". Today I read the "Biography of the Scholars" in "The Book of Taishi Gong". Cai Yan has planned to let him understand the history of Confucianism in this dynasty.
"It seems that you will have to be given a few guards to you in the future."
Cai Yan smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am ashamed of it. It has been a day or two for Confucianism to change. I am just a good opportunity and stand in a suitable position."
"Confucianism thinks of change?" Liu Xie wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Your Majesty wouldn't you think that the Confucian school today is the Confucian school of Confucius and Mencius, right?"
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and laughed in silence.
Speaking of which, the most varied school of thought is Confucianism.
The philosophers are known as hundreds of schools, but their influence is nothing more than Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Gods and Immortals.
The Mohist school declined in the Han Dynasty.
There were very few people studying Taoism, and they stick to Huang Lao, so there was basically no innovation after Emperor Wu of Han.
The Legalists have never been able to form systematic knowledge.
After the fall of Qin, the Legalists became operational technology and no longer called a science. Even the law-based science passed down through the law, such as the Du family of Fufeng and Guo family of Yingchuan, also studied specific law and orders, and rarely studied the Shang Dynasty.
"The Legal classics like Jun Shu".
What is truly constantly developing and changing is Confucianism.
The reason for this is complicated, but that's the truth.
At least during the Han and Tang dynasties, Confucianism followed the times.
But the road is getting worse and worse, and I often trip over myself.
But every time Confucianism is tripped, it can always get up again. From the Han and Tang Confucian classics to the Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism, it finally leads to the new study of the serious opposition and mutual despise of the Pu School.
In the 21st century, people still praised the New Confucian books.
Confucianism is the one who keeps pace with the times.
"Is yesterday's "Biography of the Party and the Prison" the original?"
Cai Yan lowered his head. "I dare not say whether it is the original. This is found in the classics collected by Lantai. The following are the postscripts attached to me, most of which are my experiences when I was wandering in the martial arts world with my father.
.Record them together for future generations to comment on them.”
"So that's it." Liu Xie nodded. "This is a difficult decision, and no one who is not wise or brave will dare to do it."
Cai Yan shook his hand in a panic. "Your Majesty praised you, I dare not take it, I dare not take it."
Liu Xie smiled without saying a word, and let out a moment of divineness and sighed: "The brave are timid, and the ignorant are fearless."
Yang Xiu returned to the military camp and saw Yang Biao sitting in the tent drinking alone, and was stunned.
Yang Biao was dismissed from the Grand Marshal, but he was still one of the nine ministers. He should have lived in the official office of the Grand Marshal Temple at this moment, so why did he come to him?
Anyi was cramped, and he had no place to live, so he could only live in a military camp outside the city.
"When did my father come?"
"Before dinner." Yang Biao picked up a salt bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a clatter. "Is the emperor given food?"
Yang Xiu nodded. He wanted to cry when he thought of the emperor's almost shabby supper.
"Not delicious?" Yang Biao looked over with his eyes squinted.
Yang Xiu was about to nod, but glanced at Yang Biao's eager hand, and swallowed it back.
"The emperor can eat it, so I can eat it."
Yang Biao nodded and picked up another bean. "Tell me about your intercepting Yi family and extorting the county's grain tax."
Yang Xiu sighed. Seeing Yang Biao, he knew that there would be no good things, and he must have come to provoke an army to sue him.
He followed Yang Ding to Yishi and Jie County to ask for food and taxes. After he succeeded, he paid the salary of twenty teachers for two months.
He has no choice but to do this.
Those teachers have no other income except their salaries. The New Year is approaching, and even if the emperor gives them rewards, it is very limited. They are not alone, and each has a wife and children behind them, waiting for their salaries to make a living.
In order to ensure their enthusiasm, Yang Xiu could only make decisions.
If the money and grain are handed over to the Grand Minister or Shaofu and distributed uniformly, it is estimated that each person will be given for at most half a month, and it will not be over until the end of the first month of next year.
After hearing Yang Xiu say this, Yang Biao asked: "Have the emperor ever asked?"
"I wrote a memorial to apologize on the way. The emperor can do it, so I will not say anything else."
Yang Biao blinked. "Dazu, what's the point of saying that the emperor valued education?"
Yang Xiu blurted out. "What else can you do? It's just to gather people's hearts and boost morale. All soldiers are taught by saints, know honor and disgrace, and be a real scholar."
"Real taxi?" Yang Biao was slightly stunned. "Those common people?"
"Father, Achiquan Hou was just a knight at the beginning, and was not superior to others."
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, Yang Xiu subconsciously covered his face.
"Try saying it again." Yang Biao opened his eyes wide and raised his arms. "That's what you are talking about injustice of Chiquan?"
Yang Xiu became angry for no reason and jumped up.
He was so unlucky today that he was scolded and ridiculed one after another, and was slapped when he was about to come.
"It's the same if you say it ten times. The Marquis of Chiquan was born as a knight. It can be clearly stated in the Book of Taishi Gong, and the genealogy also says it. What can't be said to others? Even Emperor Gao was just the first time he was uprising.
Just a pavilion chief, what's the shame of the knight?"
Yang Biao was stunned.
Is this young man with a desperate and white face in front of me really his son?
What he was most proud of since childhood was the noble family background of the three kings of four generations. Why did he say so bluntly that the words of the Marquis of Chiquan were just a knight in the army for a few months?
"You...you compare the Marquis of Chiquan with Emperor Gao, which is already a ruthless person. You even confuse him with those ordinary soldiers?"
Yang Xiu was also stunned and rolled his eyes for a long time. "I... did I say that?"
Yang Biao was furious. "Can I still frame you in person?"
Seeing that Yang Biao was moving down the mountain, he wanted to pounce on him, Yang Xiu quickly shook his hand to stop him.
"Don't calm down, but my son doesn't mean that. But..." Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment. "I'm not wrong. The Marquis of Chiquan was originally a knight. The Emperor Gao established the world, and there were many people with common people and ministers.
There are also many people who are not as good as the Chiquan Marquis, why... "
Yang Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he was stunned for a moment, and jumped up.
