Zhu Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Ziqian is still angry with his juniors at a very old age. It seems that the bitter cold in the far north has made his temper even worse and tougher! Haha!"
Huangfusong was speechless and said: "Gongwei! Your self-cultivation is getting better and better, and you are almost becoming a saint! Even Ziqian is worrying about your disciples, but you are just like a normal person. I think the two of us Even if the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is, and he is not our disciple, so why should we worry about it!" He said, holding the handout and getting ready to go to class.
Zhu Jun looked at the wind and rain outside the pavilion and said: "As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. As long as there is righteousness in the chest, you can be invulnerable to all poisons and uncorrupted by wind and rain! When a gentleman changes, his will will inevitably suffer, his body will be empty, and his actions will be disturbed. Why should I worry in vain!"
Huangfu Song picked up the lecture notes on the table and shook his head and said: "You are the only saint... I, an ordinary person, still have to hone in the world of mortals!" The three great Confucian scholars were demoted from Qiongzhou, Liangzhou and Youzhou to the indignation of young people. Zhou Zhou, now teaching in the Confucian and Taoist Holy Palace in his later years. Outside, they are unsmiling Confucian and Taoist giants who are respected by thousands of people. In private, they are also three bad friends who quarrel and sarcastic with each other.
…
For the next month, Qin Ge spent time with Xun Yu in the library every day. Every day, he could enter the Wan Zang library to read "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Shang Shu". The annotations of emperors of the past dynasties include even the personal annotations and reading experiences of Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and even the great ancestor Liu Bang. In the annotations, they would propose strategies for governing the country and the way to be a king based on quotations from classics, as well as combining them with the politics of the time. The incident made a classical argument, and standing on the shoulders of these giants made Qin Ge's vision and mind begin to become more open-minded. In the afternoon, he listened to the explanations of classics by Zhu Jun and the others. Qin Ge could even keep asking questions to the three of them to become familiar with the Confucian classics. In the evening, Qin Ge directly held a candlelit night chat with brothers Xun Yu and Xun Chen about the general trend of the world. During this period, Qin Ge almost forgot to sleep and eat. He was constantly immersed in the study of Confucianism and Taoism and the process of self-improvement, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Little did he know that one day in the cave means a thousand years have passed in the world. In this month, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Mount Tai. Variety.
…
First of all, in order to contain and encroach on Qin Ge's power, Liu Dai colluded with the Yanzhou gentry and sent their clan members to serve in Mount Tai one after another, dividing up the positions in counties and towns that had been vacant due to the banditry in Mount Tai. At the same time, Man Chong and others were promoted to meritorious officials, chief registrars and other fictitious civil servants in Taishan County, and a large number of personnel were sent into Mou County to prepare to suppress the free leaders administratively.
At the Yanzhou Governor's Office, Liu Dai looked with satisfaction at the small flags of various counties and counties in Taishan County. Mr. Mei stood behind him and said: "Master Governor, at this time we only need to take the administrative initiative, and the Zhang family in the free territory When more than ten powerful people have been bribed by us, we will divide Mou County and rule it, and the free territory run by Qin Ge, this piece of fat will be the food in your mouth!"
Liu Dai stared at the location of the Free Territory on the map and gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Ge has already built a city here, and now the remnants are huddled in the Free Territory under our pressing pressure. Now the entire Mount Tai is mine. See how I knead you!" After speaking, Liu Dai turned around and clenched his fists and said: "That Ying Shao is just a weakling. The free leader is now under our control. You strangers are taking advantage of the fire to rob you. The four counties run by Qin Ge will soon He will be cannibalized, but this guy surnamed Qin is really hateful, and now he is hiding in the Confucian and Taoist Academy, so there is no way to catch him for the time being, but he is currently fighting fiercely with elegant scholars and celebrities, so we will leave him alone for the time being!"
Mentioning Qin Ge, Mr. Mei looked ferocious and said: "Qin Ge knows his character, but after my cannibalization plan carves up his territory, I'll see how he can turn over. We are now on the side of the Han Dynasty. If he dares to resist It's a rebellion! We have united with the Yanzhou gentry to exert pressure at all levels. This is a conspiracy. Their territory and so-called people will eventually be carved up by us! When there is only one free leader left, I will see how big it can be. wave!"
…
In the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion in the Free Territory, Man Chong, Mao Jie, Qin Jili and others were sitting around the table. Man Chong rubbed his forehead with his hands and said: "All administrative departments in various places have changed from light to dark! Mou County County's All administrative command powers have been handed over!"
Mao Jie said with a gloomy face: "Liu Dai's move is too cruel! You and I were recommended to be the meritorious officers and chief registrar of Taishan County respectively, and the two generals Qin Jiwu and Sun Guan were promoted to lieutenant colonel of the county. However, Mou The positions of county magistrates in the four counties of Xian County, Gaixian County, Laiwu County, and Liangpu County were all revoked, and were replaced by Liu Dai's brother-in-law and disciples of the Zhang family and Bao family respectively. Moreover, he introduced a large number of evolved people, clearly trying to take advantage of the opportunity. After annexing our Taishan County, now except for Ying Shao, who is the official Taishan County Governor, all other counties have been completely controlled by Liu Dai and the Yanzhou nobles!"
Qin Jili said angrily at this time: "Moreover, they continue to bribe the famous families who are attached to the Free Territory. Now the children of the families who have been hiding in the Free Territory have come out to serve as officials. Liu Dai has placed them in important positions in the county and town. They are completely To divide our rights, if the free territory was not my brother’s private territory, I’m afraid it would have been divided up by them long ago!”
Man Chong knocked his head hard and said: "Now, Liu Dai is using conspiracy. That ungrateful bastard Ying Shao actually stood by and watched at the critical moment, allowing Liu Dai and the Yanzhou nobles to gradually encroach on us. Did he forget to do it?" Isn't it my lord? He was cut into pieces by the Taishan bandits a long time ago? Now we can only retreat step by step, but we must tell Wen Ze that they are strictly prohibited from leaving Phantom Town without my order, and let Ren Jun control the militiamen everywhere. Forces, any conflict with the official court is strictly prohibited!" Mao Jie, Qin Jixue, Qin Jili and others clenched their fists. At this time, they were being constantly attacked by flying dragons, but they could not fight back. This feeling really drove him crazy. .
Mao Jie was usually on good terms with Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan, and defended him: "Prefect Ying has done his best. Liu Dai is the governor of Yanzhou and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is related by marriage to many Yanzhou nobles, and he is also the top I'm under a lot of pressure, but now I'm just watching the fire from the other side and not doing anything to help the tiger, which is already a sign of loyalty!"
"Huh? That's right! Where is the owner of the guard book? Haven't you seen her since the autumn harvest?" Man Chong snorted coldly when he heard this, glanced around and asked to change the subject.
Qin Jili hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Wei sold out the tens of thousands of Dongyue suits we had hoarded in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Jizhou at sky-high prices. At the same time, he started to hoard food crazily in the four states. According to her order, even if Overdrafting the finances of the Free Leaders, they have to rush to buy food at all costs. Now there are countless people rushing to buy food in the four states. This year's harvest was originally bad, and the price of food has increased by 50% compared with previous years. With the help of Master Wei, he has added fuel to the fire. Now, the price of grain in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places has soared twice! Wei Zongbian is still buying grain continuously. Now the five granaries in the free collection are all full. Wei Zongbian has built them in four villages and towns including Huanyao Town. We have built six granaries, and now a steady stream of food is being transported to the Free Territory!"
Man Chong and Mao Jie couldn't believe their ears. Is this Wei Sanniang crazy? The Dongyue Armor Set is a copper-grade set, and the price in the market today remains high. Moreover, in its current form, the sales of the Dongyue Armor Set have basically fallen into the hands of the evolution forces such as the Holy Shield Society. This is simply a shame. To support the enemy, what if the opponent equips the Dongyue armor set to attack the Free Territory? Moreover, each of the five granaries of the Free Territory can store 100 million units of grain. The five granaries can store the people of the Free Territory and those gathered in Taishan County. The food consumption of the refugees for one and a half years. Of course, the food consumption of the troops is several times that of ordinary people. The full storage of the free grain warehouses basically indicates that the people of Taishan County will basically have no worries about food and drink in the next year. And now Wei Sanniang is selling off all kinds of scarce materials, even strategic materials such as weapons and equipment, just to store food. This is completely crazy! Even those who have not studied business know that even if there is a grain harvest in the north, the rice harvest in the south will be bumper this year. In less than three months, the grain from the south will gradually flow to the north, and then the price will be twice as high. The hoarded grain will depreciate significantly, because the free leaders will spend their financial resources to purchase grain and grass at all costs. Although it can temporarily cause Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou to be temporarily short of grain, this gap will make merchants in other Chinese states profitable. Traffic will inevitably come from the wind, and the gap will be filled quickly.
Man Chong's lips were a little dry. Wei Sanniang was so crazy and willing to do whatever it took, all because of Qin Ge's order! He can't guess what Qin Ge is thinking now, and what Qin Ge, who is sitting in Luoyang, is thinking. If the Free Territory's economy collapses again, it will probably cause an irreparable blow to the Free Territory that is even worse.
…
On this day, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi were sitting around the forum of the Confucian and Taoist Academy. The forum was already full of scholars, and Xun Yu stood aside. Zhu Jun and the other three began to take turns asking and answering Qin Ge. This is the way to conduct the code revision test!
Qin Ge either stood up and spoke impassionedly, or leaned down to think. However, although he could not answer the three great scholars' questions fluently, he could still answer them satisfactorily. As Qin Ge answered one by one, all the students in the audience began to change. His expression turned from contempt at first to incredulity at the end.
After the three great scholars finished asking questions, they sat aside. Xun Yu stepped to the center of the forum and said loudly: "The questioning is over, let's study the scriptures now! All students can study the scriptures with Master Qin!"
There are three stages in the canon-repairing test. The first one is called asking the canon, in which three great scholars ask questions in various ways, and the test taker quotes the canon to answer. For example, Huangfu Song asked: "A certain county was looted by the yellow turban bandits. Now, How to govern after post-war reconstruction!" Qin Ge could not directly talk about the way to govern. Instead, he had to quote the classics and answer the questions with the classics, just like memorizing the text. The knowledge of the three great Confucian scholars would judge the questions answered by the questioners based on the classics. .
The second stage is called Bible study, which is mainly a debate. First, the participants in the debate will give arguments by asking questions, and the answerers will refute them one by one based on the scriptures. If the participants are not satisfied, they can continue to ask questions. way to argue. Of course, cultivating scriptures is a very sacred matter. In order to prevent people from deliberately causing trouble, a judge will be used to judge whether the participants' questions are reasonable or not. If they are unreasonable and unreasonable, their questions can be dismissed directly. And this The judge is Xun Yu.
Qin Ge took a deep breath, held his breath, and saluted all the students. He passed the first level and was now at the second level. Although his face was calm, after all, it was about the crime of annihilating the nine tribes. Qin Ge was actually panicking in his heart. After criticizing, he knelt down and sat on the forum. Everything was reasonable and orderly. At this time, everyone in the audience fell into a brief silence, because the Doctrine of the Mean and the policy of ministers have been extremely difficult studies since ancient times, and Xun Yu was famous for his rigorous scholarship. , has always been ruthless on the forum, it would be ridiculous if he rejected it!
During this period of time, the dispute between Qin Ge and the celebrities and scholars has become fierce. During the last canon revision test, some celebrities and scholars wanted to take the opportunity to make Qin Ge unable to step down. As a result, Qin Ge came to fight with the scholars. Under Yu's judgment, all the scholars in the discussion were disgraced and embarrassed, and Qin Ge also became famous because of this incident. Therefore, during this debate, the scholars in the audience did not dare to speak lightly for fear of dishonoring their reputation. After all, being defeated by a wild man was very embarrassing among the scholars.
Among the students, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were sitting side by side. At this time, they were wearing armor and had just returned from training at the Xiyuan camp outside the city. During this time, they and other school captains were ordered to train in Xiyuan, but for Yuan Shao and others Young masters from aristocratic families, life without beauties and wine is empty. The two of them took time to return to Luoyang to enjoy this colorful world. However, as soon as they returned to Luoyang, Cao Cao heard that Qin Ge was practicing canon today at the Confucian and Taoist Academy. Thinking of Qin Ge's popularity during this period, I pulled Yuan Shao over to take a look.
