Although Liu Bei did not show any ecstatic gesture on the spot, he was just expressionless.
He didn't expect this at all at the time. It was actually very different from what he originally imagined. He had no extravagant hope that he could become the founder of a Yue family.
But when Zheng Xuan made this suggestion, when Lu Zhi looked at him with serious eyes, when everyone present looked at him with eyes that meant scrutiny, encouragement, approval, questioning, envy, jealousy, etc. , his heart was still beating violently uncontrollably.
He knew what it would mean if he really got this status.
This was an accident, one that he had not expected at all.
However, Lu Zhi seemed to be very interested in this and asked five other established families on the spot what they thought of this matter.
The heads of the five old families look at me and I look at you. Obviously no one is willing to refute the suggestions of the leader of the school on this occasion.
And Zheng Xuan's meaning is already very clear.
Rewarding Liu Bei is not only a personal reward for Liu Bei, but also an encouragement to the entire school of thought.
So, do you agree or disagree with this killing two birds with one stone?
The results speak for themselves.
"Xuande, you must study hard and improve your studies in the future. You can't neglect your studies just because you become an official. In this way, when you are successful in your studies, it will be the day when the Liu family of Zhuo County accepts the inheritance."
In front of everyone, Lu Zhi solemnly made a promise to Liu Bei.
I made this promise that there will be no turning back.
Huge joy violently impacted Liu Bei's heart, but strangely, at that moment, he calmed down inexplicably.
With a smile on his face, he solemnly saluted Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan to express his gratitude. He also greeted everyone present and expressed his gratitude. He also said that he would continue to work hard and never let the ancient literature school and the inheritance of "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" be shamed. .
He will study hard, strive to improve his knowledge, and strive to come as soon as possible to the day when he is worthy of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals".
There were many rising stars of the new generation present, but only Liu Bei received this solemn and extremely valuable promise.
Over time, after receiving Lu Zhi's approval, the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, which he represented, became the top Confucian classics inheritance family in the Han Dynasty - the Fang Yue family.
And he himself will become an important top scholar in the Han Dynasty.
Although it is not now, although it is perhaps in the distant future, the value of this promise weighs a thousand pounds in the hearts of all scholars.
After this incident, Liu Bei could be said to have truly become an upstart in Luoyang.
Although there is no promotion in political official positions, the political status and academic status are no longer the same.
With the appreciation and endorsement of master Zheng Xuan, Liu Bei's academic status has also been recognized by the entire ancient literature school. People have recognized Liu Bei as the brightest star of the ancient literature school and will play a greater role in the future.
For example, promoting "Zhou Guan Li", "Fei Shi Yi" and "Guwen Shangshu" to enter the field of official learning together.
People in the Ancient Literature School are really looking forward to that day.
After the celebration meeting that day, Liu Bei returned home half drunk and half awake under the compliments of everyone.
Liu Bei, who was quite dizzy, returned home. Han Ning undressed him and thoughtfully prepared bath water for him.
"Madam, do you know how happy I am?"
Liu Bei hugged Han Ning with a smile.
Han Ning held Liu Bei's face with both hands with a look of helplessness: "I know how happy Lang Jun is, but I still ask Lang Jun to quickly take a bath and change clothes. His whole body is full of alcohol and smells bad!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go wash up, hahahaha..."
Liu Bei staggered to the bathing room, took off his clothes, and almost floated into the large wooden barrel. He felt the hot water soaking his whole body clean. He enjoyed the pleasant feeling.
After just one soak and a few splashes of water on his face, Liu Bei regained his composure.
Recalling his experiences these days, Liu Bei couldn't restrain his emotions.
He slapped the water surface hard several times, pouring out the excitement that he had to suppress and let out, roaring silently, his appearance almost distorted!
He succeeded!
Not only did he follow the emperor's lead, he also successfully instigated the ancient literature school to counterattack the modern literature school, successfully promoted the ancient literature school to counterattack the modern literature school politically for a long time in advance, and successfully promoted the "Zuo's" "Spring and Autumn Period" and then entered the official school.
Since the Baihuguan Conference in the eighth year of Emperor Zhang's founding of the Han Dynasty, the official school "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" promoted by Liu Xiu himself has lost its status.
Now, a hundred years later, Zuo's Chunqiu finally defeated Gongyang Chunqiu and returned to the official academic status.
Not only that, they even over-fulfilled their revenge and deposed Gong Yang Chunqiu.
Liu Bei did not want to discuss how passionate Gongyang Chunqiu was and what glory he had brought to the Western Han Empire. He also did not want to discuss how pedantic Zuo Shi Chunqiu and Guliang Chunqiu were.
He only knew that the Gongyang Spring and Autumn School in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Gongyang Spring and Autumn School in the Western Han Dynasty were no longer the same thing.
Indulging in tedious and prophetic learning, chewing words, studying word for word and sentence after sentence, trying their best to make it difficult to grasp and explain.
Those schools that hold the power to interpret Gongyang Chunqiu don't want to carry it forward at all, but only want to seal it up and make it their taboo. In this way, they can monopolize the way to ascend.
So they chose to be closed, conservative, and corrupt.
They once promoted the glory of the Western Han Dynasty, but now, they have become decayed and are a major driving force for the Eastern Han Empire to enter its grave.
What is bad is not knowledge, but people's hearts, and what is fought for is not academics, but power and interests.
The dispute between the Gongyang Spring and Autumn School and the Zuo Spring and Autumn School, and between modern classics and ancient classics, has never been an academic dispute, but a battle for power and interests.
Does the Ancient Literature School really regard the spirit of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period as the code of conduct they pursue?
Does the Jinwen school really regard Gongyang Chunqiu as an absolute spiritual guide?
Isn’t it all about profit?
The former Gongyang School was so enthusiastic that it became a school recognized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was established as an official school. It played a leading role in the political trend of the entire country.
But now they are complacent and self-isolated, only thinking about pursuing power and interests, and no longer care about academics.
So they can only blame themselves for being picked off by Zuo Clan Chunqiu.
Similarly, Liu Bei also knew that they had lost their enterprising spirit due to the former dominance of Jinwen Classics, which was successfully replaced by Ancient Classics during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
As a result, modern classics became lonely, and ancient classics became the dominant one.
It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that in order to resist the decadent Qing Dynasty and seek a way to save the nation and survive, Jinwen Classics was brought out again, and the passion of Gongyang Chunqiu was brought out again.
Ironic?
Very ironic.
But Liu Xuande lives in the present.
At present, Zuo's Spring and Autumn Theory and even the entire ancient classics school are academically prosperous, extremely dynamic, and prosperous. It is a school full of vitality and all things are competing for growth.
In sharp contrast to the old and decadent Jinwen school!
In this era, ancient classical literature represents the activity and enthusiasm of emerging forces, while modern classical literature is the dead bones in the grave that stick to the old ways and hold on to their own interests.
Who wins and who loses has his own history to choose.
Liu Bei just followed history and gave a boost to it. He used Liu Hong, an emperor who was not so good at imperial arts, and a group of audacious and greedy eunuchs to achieve a fatal blow to Jinwen Classics.
And he himself was successfully reciprocated by the Ancient Classics School, and successfully became the real core figure of the Ancient Classics School. He will lead his family, the Liu family of Zhuo County, to become an important inheritance family of the Ancient Classics School in the future.
He, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, came from a clan of a Han Dynasty in a remote state and county. He lost his father when he was young and worked as a mat weaver and shoe seller. He and his mother had been dependent on each other for many years, eating chaffy vegetables and living a hard life.
Then he worked hard and seized the opportunity. From the age of thirteen to twenty-one, he crossed his own class three times in a row.
From a common man he became a powerful man, from a powerful man he became a scholar, and from a third-rate scholar he rose to the top of the world in one step, directly to the top of the scholar class - a scholar of the Feng Yue House.
It is equivalent to that he has become one of the few elites with the highest social status in the Han Empire, and is destined to achieve great things in the future.
Whether you are familiar with his experience or those who are not familiar with his experience, you should be shocked by this, and sincerely admire and even fear him.
It's just that outsiders only know the countless miracles Liu Bei created along the way, but they don't know the hardships and dangers hidden behind these miracles.
So after venting his excitement, Liu Bei soaked in hot water and burst into tears.
He cried hoarsely.
From the earliest days, he ate chaffy vegetables, weaved mats and sold shoes, and braved the scorching summer sun and winter wind and snow to walk from home to the county seat. He walked back and forth countless times for several miles, with the wind and rain beating non-stop, and freezing cold. He was hungry and suffered a lot.
Later, he did not rely on charity from others, but relied on his own bravery and hard work.
If it weren't for his bravery and courage to risk his life, he would not be able to gain a foothold on the streets, let alone become a street fighter in Zhuoxian County and earn his first pot of gold.
When you are fighting for your life, you are faced with the opponent's wooden sticks, bamboo guns, and even real steel knives. A slight bump with these things may cause bleeding wounds, which may lead to infection and subsequent death. The death is worthless. .
He survived, and through hard work in the physical sense, he gained a reputation as a street fighter, acquired a considerable fortune, several hundred acres of land and a manor, and became a small landowner and powerful man.
Next, I really had to thank my uncle Liu Bo and my Han clan origin for becoming the apprentice of Lu Zhi, so that I had the qualification to become his apprentice. However, I later gained Lu Zhi's appreciation, and even Wan Jun rode his horse to rescue Lu Zhi. Zhi, that is also relying on his own bravery to dare to risk his life.
Thousands of thieves surrounded Lu Zhi, and he could only lead a few hundred cavalry to rescue people. Without the courage to fight, who would dare to take such a big risk?
Didn't Lu Zhi really decide to accept him as a closed disciple because of this and his gratitude?
Being able to follow Lu Zhi across social strata was due to his own desperate fighting. Through the bloody battle with swords and guns, Lu Zhi was moved. Otherwise, Lu Zhi would not be so kind and support him in this way.
Liu Bei never believed that the talent he showed at that time could really impress Lu Zhi.
There are too many talented people, and there is no shortage of him. Talent is not enough for Lu Zhi to treat himself with the attitude of inheriting the mantle. How much of this is Lu Zhi's gratitude for saving his life. Needless to say, he also understands .
So, in the final analysis, this world is a world of strength and character.
Without a family background, you must be smarter and more ruthless than anyone else!
Be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to yourself. Be a hard-core ruthless person with excellent professional skills. If you have a little more luck at this time, don't die so early. Generally speaking, life will not be a failure.
Liu Bei believes that at this moment, he is a hard-core ruthless person blessed by luck. To this extent, it is indeed difficult to fail.
So, no need to thank anyone.
The person who needs to be grateful the most is himself.
"Thanks, myself."
Liu Bei relaxed his body and lay in the hot water. He used the hot water to wash away the tears on his face and murmured to himself.
