When things got to this point, Lu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore.
He really didn't want to worry about the internal unity of the Ancient Literature School anymore, so he decided to stand up and refute Yuan Wei.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what modern texts are we talking about? Do ancient texts have any meaning? Yuan Situ! The common people rebel because they are desperate and have no food to eat. They are desperate and have no food to eat. It is because corrupt officials have caused great harm. You can replace "Ouyang Shangshu" with "Ouyang Shangshu".
Can the common people understand it? They don’t even know how to read it!
What the imperial court needs now is talents who can lead the troops to quell the chaos. What it needs is money and food for dispatching the army. What it needs is strategies that can solve the urgent needs, not modern and ancient literature! You replace Ouyang Shangshu here with ancient Shangshu, Qingxu Huangjin
Will the Yellow Turbans in Runan disappear automatically?"
Yuan Wei was furious when he saw that Lu Zhi actually spoke for the Modern Literature School.
"Liu Taiwei! Do you know your identity? Is this what you should say? You are a member of the Zuo family's Spring and Autumn Period. How can you say such a thing? Don't you even have a long-term perspective?"
"Yuan Situ! There is no room for chaos in national affairs! After this incident is over, you can do whatever you want, but right now! Can you raise some militaristic arguments?"
Lu Zhi looked at Yuan Wei with a bitter face: "Do you really not care? Are you really not afraid that one day in the future, hungry common people will stand in front of you with knives and ask you for food?"
Yuan Wei became even more angry, but at the same time he also felt that this was an opportunity to completely overthrow Lu Zhi. He felt that he should take the opportunity to arouse the dissatisfaction of the officials of the Ancient Literature School against Lu Zhi, so that Lu Zhi could be completely socialized within the Ancient Literature School.
The group of people who had united around him were originally dissatisfied with Lu Zhi, but now Lu Zhi took the initiative to stand up and hand him a knife. If this didn't pierce Lu Zhi's heart with a knife, he would be sorry for his long-term planning!
But just as he was about to speak, a member of the Han clan, Zongzheng Liu Yu, suddenly stood up.
"I think what Lu Taiwei said is reasonable. Yuan Situ, the matter of modern and ancient texts can be discussed at any time, but the rebellion is a matter of now. If you want to replace "Ouyang Shangshu", you can change it at any time. Why bother?
Are you in a hurry? His Majesty summoned us to quell the rebellion, isn't it?"
Yuan Wei was just about to open fire on Lu Zhi, preparing to kill two birds with one stone, but Liu Yu shot out from the side, causing Yuan Wei to be stunned.
Liu Yu is a clan official and a descendant of Liu Qiang, Prince Gong of the East China Sea.
His grandfather Liu Jia once served as Guang Luxun, and his father Liu Shu once served as the prefect of Danyang. Among the huge Han clan clan group full of cattle and horses, they belong to the category of nobles for generations, and the family has always been very prosperous.
He entered the official position by promoting filial piety and integrity. He first worked in the county, and later due to his accumulated political achievements, he was moved to the position of governor of Youzhou.
During his tenure as governor of Youzhou, he had high prestige among the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Haoqian and other foreign ethnic groups, and he managed border affairs well.
Later, after the Taipingdao Rebellion, he also served as the Prime Minister of Ganling, responsible for appeasing the people after the chaos. He did a good job. He had a reputation for being honest and capable in the court, and he was a good hand in civil affairs and diplomacy.
Although his talents are not as good as Liu Bei's, he is still one of the few capable ministers in the clan.
Therefore, Liu Hong respected Liu Yu more and appointed him as Zongzheng to manage all information about the clan members of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu stayed away from the dispute between modern and ancient literature. After the dispute between modern and ancient literature reached its peak, he was also one of the few people who continued to maintain the old interpersonal relationship between the two parties as always.
Yuan Wei had no fear of anyone in the court, but he felt that it was not appropriate to confront Liu Yu head-on.
"What Zongzheng said is certainly reasonable, but to solve the problem, we must start from the root cause."
Yuan Kui cheered up and said: "A blind military crusade cannot solve the problem, otherwise the Liangzhou rebellion will not last long, so it is incorrect to prepare for a military crusade when trouble occurs. I think this kind of thinking
It cannot be regarded as serving the country and the people.
If you want the country to have long-term peace and stability, education is necessary. The Han Dynasty has been educating the world with Jinwen classics for a long time, but the results are not good. Rebellions occurred one after another, and war broke out in the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty.
This is enough to prove the failure of the Jinwen Classic. The Jinwen Classic can no longer educate the people very well. If the classics are not replaced, even if the battle is won for a while, some people will still rebel in the future."
Yuan Wei glared at Lu Zhi fiercely.
Lu Zhi was angry and just about to speak, Liu Yu took a step forward.
"Of course a military crusade alone cannot solve the problem, but Yuan Situ, isn't Liangzhou unstable now?"
Yuan Wei was stunned.
"This... is relatively stable at the moment, but..."
"Isn't that okay?"
Liu Yu spread his hands and said: "Liangzhou has been plagued by wars for hundreds of years, and rebellions have occurred one after another, which has made the court very worried. This is of course a failure of enlightenment, but I heard that Liangzhou Shepherd Liu Bei governed Liangzhou very well.
He used both suppression and appeasement, killing the rebels and appeasing the officials and the people at the same time. Since the third year of Zhongping, more than two years have passed, has there been a civil uprising in Liangzhou? Has anyone reached out to the imperial court for support? "
Yuan Wei couldn't argue with this, so he gritted his teeth and nodded in recognition.
"No."
"This is enough to prove that Liu Liangzhou's governance is sound. He suppressed with one hand and pacified with the other, exterminated the treacherous thieves and appeased the good and obedient people. Liangzhou was stabilized and no problems have arisen so far. But I don't know that this is related to "Ouyang Shangshu"
"What is the relationship between "Gu Wenshang Shu"?"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Liu Liangzhou seems to have passed down "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" and has no connection with Shangshu. Despite this, Liangzhou was still governed. Am I right? Yuan Situ?"
Yuan Wei's eyes gradually turned evil when he looked at Liu Yu.
"You are right, it doesn't matter, but that is enough to prove the advantages of ancient classics over modern classics, isn't it? If the classics can be replaced, it will definitely be of great benefit to the overall situation of the country!"
"That is a matter of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals". Neither you nor I are the ones whose family has passed down "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals", so let's not discuss this matter for the time being. Since the rebellion has already occurred, let's discuss the rebellion.
Only after the rebellion has been quelled can we talk about enlightenment, and then talk about ministers, then there will be room for action. Otherwise, while rebelling and enlightening at the same time, wouldn't it be ridiculous? Yuan Situ, what do you think?"
Yuan Wei looked at Liu Yu for a while, then nodded reluctantly.
"What Zong Zheng said makes sense."
"In that case, why not talk about the strategies to suppress Qingxu Yellow Turban and Runan Yellow Turban?"
"good."
Yuan Wei coldly said a word, then closed his eyes and remained silent.
Yuan Wei stopped talking. The bureaucrats of the Ancient Literature School looked at Lu Zhi and Liu Yu. Although they were dissatisfied, they could not continue.
Huang Wan was naturally very happy. Looking at Liu Yu and Lu Zhi, he began to feel that they were a bit pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that the topic was finally brought back to the right track, Liu Hong was very satisfied with the clan elder Liu Yu.
"What Zong Zheng said is deeply in my heart. You should speak freely about the strategies to suppress and appeasement. Other than that, I won't say anything else for the time being."
Liu Hong took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack and made the final decision, declaring the complete failure of the ancient literature school's sneak attack.
But although the topic was brought back to the right track, no one could solve the problem of lack of money.
Lu Zhi suggested dividing the army into two groups, deploying Luoyang's elite and local troops to suppress the rebellion, eradicate the leading traitors, forgive most of the blind followers, and use the same strategy as in Jizhou, which might solve the problem.
His strategy was okay, but when it came time to discuss the number and cost of sending troops, the discussion couldn't go on.
Either the imperial court will use the last money to fight the war, and then everyone will have no salary to receive.
Either raise taxes again and make the people suffer. I believe they are willing to suffer for national affairs.
