Chapter 88

Two days after Liu Yan met the emperor.

The sixth day of the nine-month month, the day of the grand ceremony on the fifth day.

"The Theory of Refuting Disasters" became popular in Luoyang for ten days.

Liu Yan, with the power of the top leader of the education department, secretly pushed him for ten days, and the private trolls also spitted him for ten days.

To this day, all this is finally over.

On the way to court, you can still hear many civil servants who are famous for their literary classics and whispering to discuss the book.

"Zigan, you and Cai Bozao are familiar with each other. How could he write such a charming article? I read the writing style and rigor of "The Refuting of Disasters and Disorders" are not as good as Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Fanlu". Cai Yong was probably unable to sit still in the wild for ten years, and he lost his backbone and wanted to ask for a return from office, right?"

Shangshu Zheng Tai still pulled his old colleague Lu Zhi to complain. Lu Zhi is a person who is easy-going and unwilling to talk about others behind his back, so he stammers at will.

But after a while, Huang Wan, the Shaofu Mansion and Yang Biao, the Weiwei, also joined the discussion.

There was also Zhu Jun, who was born in a military general and was not very interested in the classics. Huangfu Song joined the audience. Even Cao Cao's father, Grand Secretary, Cao Song, also secretly watched the fun.

It’s a pity that Cao Song was a vain, so those topics that criticized great scholars were not his turn to speak, so he could only listen to them secretly. - The great scholars were "destroying their integrity and willing to be emperor's hawks and dogs", and could they be compared to eunuchs? Eunuchs never felt ashamed of being loyal to the emperor without principles, but instead took it as honor.

After everyone discussed for a while, the court discussion officially began and everyone gradually calmed down. After some daily issues, the Central General Guo Sheng took out a memorial on behalf of the emperor. It was the good news from the governor of Youzhou Liu Yu, and everyone asked to discuss it.

"...The rebels were intimidated by the imperial court, abandoned Shanggu and fled to western Liaoning..."

Guo Sheng first recited Liu Yu's good news.

As the courtiers listened, their pupils suddenly shrank a few times.

Hold the grass! We sprayed the "Theory of Disasters and Disasters" for seven or eight days, and we actually saw the actual effect on the battlefield of counter-rebellion!

Liu Yu actually said that the recovery of Shanggu County was because the people's hearts in the rebels occupied the area were reinformed by the court, which washed away the poisonous effect of Zhang Ju's previous slander of the court's "selling official positions and titles"!

Can propaganda wars really play such a big role in winning over the hearts of the people in the enemy-occupied areas?

No matter how "pragmatic" they thought Cai Yong and Li Su's articles were before, "disregarding morality" and "slandering the sages", now the facts prove that they are really useful!

Starting from the end of March, Zhang Chun occupied the entire Shanggu County and half of the Dai County. Now he finally pulled out the western routes of the rebels' east-west base areas and forced Zhang Chun to strategically transfer to Zhang Ju. This is a great contribution!

Although the court officials did not know that what Zhang Chun gave up was a poor border county that had been completely scraped three feet away and could become a cage at any time.

The public opinion trend immediately changed. All the great scholar-type civil officials who had previously criticized "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters" had to adjust their posture and make up their statements, thinking that Cai Yong and Li Su were right.

However, they also have to point out that the "Theory of Refuting Disasters" is still a bit unfinished. You only break it but not establish it. You have eliminated Dong Zhongshu's theory of Disasters and Disasters and the induction of heaven and man. At least you can come up with some new orthodox argumentation articles!

Of course, these people didn't know that Li Su had prepared the "Theory of Blessings in the Palace", and waited for the great scholars who controlled the current academic judgment power to nod and deposed the "Theory of the Response of Heaven and Man", and he found a proper opportunity to take it out within a few months.

The court discussion was about to end soon. Seeing that everyone was almost discussing, Guo Sheng pretended to express his opinion to His Majesty, but in fact he just passed the motions and came back with an imperial edict prepared in advance and read out the rewards in public.

All the civil officials were very curious and thought they would summon Cai Yong back to the court to entrust important tasks, but the imperial edict only wrote a lot of words to commend Cai Yong, and there were other rewards, and it was not mentioned to be made for Cai Yong.

At the same time, the second half of the imperial edict mentioned the special favor and approved the request of Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, to refer Li Su as Maocai this year.

Lu Zhi, Zheng Tai, Huang Wan, Yang Biao... Everyone realized how powerful this kind of gift is.

It has been twenty years since Zi ascended the throne today! It has never been possible for the state’s chief to change two people within a year, and both of them are allowed to give their own talents!

What an exception this is. It will definitely spread throughout the capital tomorrow and will spread all over the world in one month!

Li Su's face is showing off!

He is the only Maocai in the world who has been promoted within 20 years in the past dynasty of Emperor Ling!

More valuable than ordinary Maocai!

No wonder, who made the pragmatic emperor scratch the itchy part of the classical flattery remarks that proved that "natural disasters are not the emperor's morality" and was very happy.

"...I am thinking of Li Su, the governor of Youzhou... I have specially granted the title of Youzhou to select his talents, and the court appointed the position of "protecting the Wuhuan School Captain and Supporting the Chief Secretary" and the rank is thousands of stones..."

As the decree was finished, the court meeting ended.

And there is no doubt that because the reason for the rebel Zhang Ju's rebellion was to "sell official positions and titles", now Li Su is the main force to refute Zhang Ju, so he must also keep the positive examples of "Li Su, Liu Bei and others have never bought officials, they are all thanks to His Majesty without paying money" to fight back against the rebels.

Therefore, it was claimed that Li Su was still not spending any money, so he got Maocai and Yi Qianshi's long-lasting history.

After the ministers retired from the court, the news spread in Luoyang City that day, and soon spread farther and became famous for a while.

...

After confirming that the emperor's official commendation of Youzhou's judgment, Taichangqing Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After resigning from the court, he immediately ordered his family to drive to his old friend and the servant Dong Fu's house to discuss secretly.

That's right, it's the old charlatan who dared to use the ruthless words "Watching Qianxiang at night, there is a pride in Yizhou" half a year ago.

Since that secret talk, the relationship between the two sides has become much more ironed, almost becoming a grasshopper on the same rope, and he dared to say anything in private.

This time when he arrived at Dong Fu's mansion, Liu Yan was not polite at all and went straight to the point: "The great things are going to be done! Your Majesty is very satisfied with the progress of Bo'an's rebellion. I think he is completely relieved of the trial of the state pastoral system. It is time to be the governor of Yizhou. Mr. Dong, last month you and I will discuss the law secretly, and I think it's better to implement it as soon as possible."

Dong Fu is 81 years old. In the past six months, his body has become weaker and he can no longer get out of bed. After hearing Liu Yan's decision, he breathed a few breaths in his old eyes: "After entering Sichuan, I will look at my descendants sooner or later. Dong, Ren, Yang, Chen and other four schools of Sichuan Confucianism have been married for several generations, and they are in the same place and hope that the envoy will take care of me."

After hearing Dong Fu's words, it was obvious that he and Liu Yan had made many secret transactions during this period, and had already distributed the rights that had not yet been obtained.

Moreover, the two knew each other’s old secrets and felt embarrassed to hide them at all.

Liu Yan: "That's natural, let's talk about how to operate first. The current governor of Yizhou, Quejian, is just a dirty person who buys officials and takes office. You also said that this guy plunders the people's wealth as soon as he enters Sichuan. It's time to let Ren, Yang and Chen's sue Quejian, stir up civil changes.

Two and a half months, I will report that Quejian was killed by the rioters on His Majesty’s desk. I will wait for His Majesty to replace Quejian and order me to be the governor of Yizhou. I will protect your Shu County Dong family for a long time. As long as it is fast enough, I can still cross the Qinling Mountains before the winter snow covers the mountain."

Liu Yan's eagerness to take office was not concealed in front of Dong Fu.

As long as you cross the Qinling Mountains and arrive in Hanzhong, the subsequent road is easy to talk about. Even if you walk slowly for a month or two, it will be fine. Because the climate of Daba Mountain south of Hanzhong is already relatively humid and hot, and the mountain will not be blocked in heavy snow in winter.

Whether you can cross the Qinling Mountains before the winter snow covers the mountain, it will be at least half a year away from office. What do you know how long the emperor can live? Liu Yan doesn't want to waste half a year of layout time.

At this point, he not only had already thought about releasing rice thieves to entrench Hanzhong after entering Sichuan, but also had a thorough idea of ​​how to help him find the reason for his appointment as soon as possible to enter Sichuan.

Even things like the Min Rebellion and the Yellow Turban, if the natural state is not brewing fast enough, he can make friends with local forces to find ways to secretly catalyze it out and get rid of Quejian.

Liu Yan didn't know that his efforts to push Liu Yu's hands also allowed him to enter Sichuan half a year earlier than the same period in history. But for this reason, when he finally released the rice thief Zhang Lu to cut off the Hanzhong Road and intercepted the envoys of the imperial court into Sichuan, Zhang Lu had to last half a year longer than the original history before he could survive the death of Emperor Ling of Han.

Whether Zhang Lu can withstand it, will the court have other countermeasures? Only God knows whether this butterfly effect is a blessing or a disaster.

...

The conversation was divided into two parts. After the meeting in Luoyang ended, the fifteenth day of September.

In Wuji County, Zhongshan County, there is a manor built against the mountain on the banks of the Hutuo River in the west of the city.

This is the Zhen family's industry. The decoration is even more luxurious than the mansions that live in the city, but now it is used to treat guests-

There is no way, the Zhen family is still obsessing with filial piety, and can only vent their long-suppressed desire to show off their wealth by treating guests. This not only does not harm filial piety, but also can gain the reputation of being strict with oneself and lenient with others.

At this moment, of course, Cai Yong's family lives in this manor, and Li Su who just arrived recently.

They came here to discuss how to write the second half of "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters", "Theory of Blessings in the Palace". There is also a papermaking workshop and a printing workshop near the manor, which is the largest printing industry base today, with very complete supporting facilities.

Liu Yu knew that if we wanted to divide the rebels, we would have to wait at least two months for the next move. Only when the rebels were fully utilized due to the adverse effects of "most of the wheat in western Liaoning was harvested by the people and turned into a crushed turn", the court could implement the next move.

If you don’t starve the enemy, it is useless to send envoys directly.

So in the past two months of nine and ten, Li Suhui was relatively free, so Liu Yu gave him a month and a half off, asking him to find Cai Yong to finish his political philosophy work that argued that "why can the Han Dynasty win the world for thousands of years?"

Although Liu Yu was not familiar with the classics, he could also see that the "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disorders" was only broken but not established. After refuting Dong Zhongshu, the new theory had not been built yet.

It is best to wait until the rebel leader is awarded the title of head in the future, and make a solid theoretical basis and make a world of success.

Then he immediately killed the rebels and achieved the propaganda effect of "Look, I just said that those who created the Han Dynasty would not die well, but you would not die well." It shocked the hearts of the unjust officials in the world.

The court should be trustworthy. If you say you want to kill the whole family of the thief, you will kill the whole family of the thief. If you say you can't die well, you will really not die well. That is the deterrent.

So Li Su obediently accepted the order. He had just arrived in Wuji these two days and closed the door with Cai Yong to study political philosophy paper writing.

In the past few months, although Li Su has not had any opportunity to communicate with the Cai family and Zhen family in person, his series of operations in writing or printing books are like the shadow of a famous tree, which has greatly improved the attitude of both families towards him. Many girls from both families have the potential to transform towards the direction of fan girls.

Even though Cai Yong himself claimed to be his disciple, he did not dare to be arrogant when talking about philosophy theory behind closed doors, and only acted as an attitude of "interesting and expressing his own opinions."

That morning, Li Su had just discussed a short analysis of "The Palace of Fun" with Cai Yong, and was about to take a break. Cai Yong was slightly amazed and made a record quickly.

(Note: See Chapter 58 for details on the overview of the Dianxing Youfu Theory. I also avoided the charges and the large section of water political philosophy materials. The philosophical part here will not be specifically developed)

Cai Yan, who was only thirteen and a half years old, has been pretending to help clean up the manuscripts, but in fact she was secretly eavesdropping on her face. While listening, she secretly lamented her senior brother's vision of being profound and profound, and her philosophy is subtle and profound.

"Senior brother, why not have a rest and chat. After drinking this cup of hot wine, how about I play the piano for you and soothe my mind?" Cai Yan took advantage of Li Su's speech and his father sorted out the manuscript and handed Li Su a glass of wine.

"Actually, I'm not tired." Li Su took the cup and said it very well. After all, he directly copied Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru's ideas. What's so tiring about copying the answers?

Cai Yan pouted. After a day of contact yesterday, she temporarily found that she could only crush her senior brother by calligraphy and playing the piano. The senior brother was not tired, so how could she find a way to show herself?

There are so many secrets in this senior brother. It can be said that the dragon sees the head but not the tail. I don’t know how long it will take to understand him.

Although Cai Yan was in Chenliu a few months ago, she was curious about Li Su in her residence, and later she learned about her senior brother's philosophical thoughts when she was reading her father's book. However, that level of contact could not relieve her curiosity at all, because she didn't even have the chance to speak. The first time Li Su talked to Cai Yan was the same as yesterday.

Fortunately, at this moment, someone helped Cai Yan relieve her embarrassment.

"The angel of the court is here, and he is reading out the reward orders from His Majesty to Mr. Cai and Li. Go and receive the orders quickly!" Several maids from Zhen's mansion ran into the inner courtyard with their eyes shining, pulling Li Su while taking advantage of the goods.
