Of course the paleontologists were delighted.
After learning that Lu Zhi had taken the lead in defeating the Yellow Turban Army, everyone was very happy. Yuan Wei immediately suggested at the meeting that everyone should work together and work hard to push Lu Zhi to the position of Three Dukes through this military exploit, and strive to Let him record the affairs of the minister.
Moreover, Yuan Wei further suggested that the best choice is not to let Lu Zhi take over Zhang Wen's unlucky Sikong position, but to let Lu Zhi squeeze out Yang Ci and become the Taiwei, and at the same time drive Yang Ci out of office. Combat the arrogance of the Modern Literature School and strive to fully control the Shangshutai.
"Although the Jinwen School has a profound foundation, once it loses the power to record the affairs of the ministers, and once the minister's desk is controlled by us, the life of the Jinwen School will not be easy. This time Zigan defeated the Yellow Turban Thief and ascended to the throne in one fell swoop. At the time of the Three Lords, why don’t you all rise up?”
Yuan Wei's suggestion received strong support from Xun Shuang.
As the leaders of the two major families who defected from the Modern Literature School, Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang hoped that the Ancient Literature School could completely crush the Modern Literature School more than some ancient scholars. What they had done had already determined their fate. The escape route is not wide.
They firmly believe that the Ancient Literature School will eventually replace the rigid and outdated Modern Literature School, and they firmly believe that this day will not come too far away. They have paid some price for this. For example, some branches of the family cannot understand their behavior and have already fought with them. A clear line was drawn.
But so what?
The general trend of the world is vast, and those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish. Although there will be some twists and turns, the ancient literature school covers more than 90% of the scholar population. In this case, what can the modern literature school do to fight them?
Without the intervention of external forces, judging from the current strong fighting power of the ancient literature school, it would take just ten years for the modern literature school to be completely crushed!
Therefore, the ancient literature school must rise up and not let down the "general trend of the world" that has finally been waiting for it.
They must attack with all their strength!
Now the literary school obviously smells the danger.
The previous wave of operations failed to bring any blow to Lu Zhi, but instead further prompted Lu Zhi to accelerate, causing the northern theater to be the first to win.
Now it's good, Lu Zhiyun, Wen Yunwu, becoming a general and becoming a prime minister is the next basic operation. This opportunity cannot be missed by the ancient literature school.
Why are Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song so useless?
Why are the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army so useless?
Can't you stand up?
Can't you give Lu Zhi a head-on blow and annihilate his entire army?
Now the Ancient Literature School is ready to make a move. I heard that they are planning to push Lu Zhi to officially ascend to the position of the Third Duke, and target the Taiwei. The goal is to oust him from this position, and at the same time seize his right to record Shangshu affairs, so that the Modern Literature School will lose top political authority.
This is a situation that the Modern Literature School cannot accept. Even if Yang Ci dies, he is unwilling to lose the position of Taiwei who records affairs of the Shangshu. He must fight back.
But after much thought, he couldn't figure out how to deal with Lu Zhi.
In those days, he was so worried that he couldn't even eat his favorite steamed Yellow River fish.
At the critical moment, Yang Biao came up with an unlikely solution.
When Yang Biao went to court, he heard that Lu Zhi had made some suggestions to the court on post-war matters in Jizhou, which were recognized by the emperor.
The emperor is planning to select an outstanding bureaucrat to serve as governor in Jizhou to be responsible for Jizhou's post-war governance, restore production in Jizhou as soon as possible, and avoid a large-scale and widespread famine in Jizhou this year.
From this, Yang Biao further thought that Lu Zhi once served as the prefect of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, quelled two rebellions, and also restored normal local production. He was a one-stop player in suppressing and restoring production. He had rich experience and was indeed a leader. The first person in the dynasty.
So he suddenly thought of a way to prevent the Ancient Literature School from promoting Lu Zhi to be promoted to the position of San Gong.
"Recommend Lu Zhi to be the governor of Jizhou?"
Yang Ci leaned on the cushions and looked at Yang Biao with a serious face, hesitating: "Is this possible? Although as long as there is an edict, he will be the governor of Jizhou, but after all, it is only 600 stones, so he has made great achievements. Nowadays, the ancient literature school will definitely oppose it with all its strength, and the imperial court is unlikely to support this."
Yang Biao nodded.
"In that case, let's go one step further and let my father come forward to recommend Lu Zhi as the shepherd of Jizhou!"
Yang Ci was stunned for a moment, then frowned and began to seriously think about the feasibility of this plan.
The state governor was originally a six hundred stone supervisory official with no military and political functions. However, starting from the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the state governor has developed in the direction of local military and political chiefs.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status and authority of the governor of the state were further expanded. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the edicts often said "the governor, two thousand stones", and the governor was often sent to lead the troops in battle. The governor's report did not need to be verified by the officials appointed by the three governors. The county guards and county magistrates were quite afraid of it, and there were even cases where they abandoned their official positions because they were afraid of the governor.
Although the state governor is still not a state military and political officer in name, and has no superior or subordinate relationship with the county governor or county magistrate, if the county governor or county magistrate conflicts with the state governor, according to normal procedures, he will often be in an unfavorable situation.
When the governor of the state becomes the shepherd of the state, the situation will change fundamentally, because the state shepherd is also an official with two thousand stones, and is a veritable military and political officer, the superior of the prefect, who can also command troops and fight against rebellions. this.
Currently, the Han Dynasty does not have a state pastor, because the power of the state pastor is too heavy, and the court will not easily set up a state pastor, in case the state pastor has too much power and cannot be removed. Even if there was one in the past, it was established when something went wrong and was removed immediately. Do not give the state pastoralists a chance to take root in the local area.
It can be said that the state pastoral position is a very critical position.
Those who are ambitious can make a career here.
Those who are corrupt can make a fortune here.
Those who simply want to make those rebellious county governors bow down can also realize their dreams.
Moreover, once such a position has successfully completed its tasks and passed its term, it will inevitably enter the top circle after returning to the central government. It is almost a certainty that it will become a powerful position among the three officials and nine ministers, and it is impossible to reverse it.
Therefore, in Yang Ci's opinion, doing this is a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if it succeeds, it will only delay the time for Lu Zhi to become the Third Duke. On the contrary, it will increase the legitimacy of Lu Zhi's ascension to the Third Duke.
In Yang Ci's view, after achieving this feat, the time is ripe for Lu Zhi to become the Third Duke. Everything is ready and all he needs is Dongfeng. Their obstruction is of little significance.
But Yang Biao doesn't think so.
"If Lu Zhi is allowed to take advantage of the power of victory and ascend to the throne of the Third Duke now, would it be a good thing for my father, even if he is just Sikong? Is my father ready to face the two Third Dukes of the Ancient Literature School at the same time? Privately, I am very worried about my father!"
Yang Ci kept silent.
Yang Biao continued to persuade.
"As long as Lu Zhi is not allowed to return to Luoyang to serve as the Third Duke, even if the current situation is only temporarily maintained, we will still have a chance to breathe. We can make some adjustments and make some operations. We must let Lu Zhi successfully return to Luoyang and be promoted to the Third Duke now. , our foundation is about to be shaken.
Currently, "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" has replaced "Gongyang Chun Qiu". Next, the ancient literature school will definitely go all out to promote "Zhou Guan Li" to replace "Yi Li". If they really let the two three princes come to power and jointly promote this matter, Father, is it really okay? "
Yang Biaoyue said, Yang Ci's expression became more serious.
He knew that what Yang Biao said was not alarmist and must be the next political goal of the ancient literature school.
Once they succeed, Jinwen School will immediately fall into a brain-dead state, unable to turn around.
