After visiting Zhu Jun, Liu Bei told the big guys of the ancient literature school about this.
"Zhu Jun is going back to his hometown to observe mourning for his mother for three years?"
Yuan Wei looked at Liu Bei in surprise: "Xuande, is this serious? At this juncture, he actually wants to return to his hometown to observe mourning for three years? This is too coincidental, he..."
"Mr. Yuan, I'm afraid no one would joke with their mother's life, right?"
Liu Bei said with a wry smile on his face: "Although the Marquis of Qiantang is not from a high-ranking noble family, he still understands the basics of loyalty and filial piety. For us sons, who would want his parents to die?"
Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment, then coughed slightly to cover up his gaffe and smiled.
"Indeed, I lost my composure."
In fact, it’s not Yuan Wei’s fault. In this era when filial piety has become politically correct and can even be linked to political interests, everyone wants to be a filial saint. Everyone can be a filial saint. Filial piety comes and goes, all for personal benefit. development and political interests.
The so-called twenty-four filial piety are nothing more than this.
That is to say, the predecessors went too far and used all the normal and abnormal methods. Later generations really cannot introduce the old and bring forth the new. Otherwise, let alone the twenty-four filial piety, the forty-eight filial piety and the sixty-four filial piety can be achieved.
Having been in a group of high-ranking gentry with great filial piety since childhood, Yuan Wei knew this very well.
He also knew very well that in this era of filial piety per capita, any strange things could happen, so he raised his doubts like a reflex.
Of course, no one cares about Yuan Wei's question. What they care more about is the impact that Zhu Jun's departure from Luoyang will have on the struggle between the Modern Literature School and the Ancient Literature School.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
When Liu Bei told everyone that Zhu Jun had asked Sun Jian, his younger brother from Jiangdong, to take care of him, everyone realized that Zhu Jun had not chosen the school of modern literature but the school of ancient literature, but he was leaving Luoyang to observe his filial piety.
But...
"Let alone the funeral of Qiantang Hou's mother, at this moment Qiantang Hou leaves Luoyang and leaves Sun Jian behind. For him, it is really a hundred benefits and no harm."
Xun Shuang smiled and sighed: "With blameless things, I can avoid all the troubles in Luoyang. When I return in three years, I am afraid that our dispute has been settled long ago, and he can just sit back and enjoy the results. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Everyone knew this in their hearts, but Xun Shuang spoke out about it.
The spiritual leader Zheng Xuan coughed lightly and said: "Let's not talk about Qiantang Hou's family affairs anymore. Later, we can send people to Jiangdong to express our condolences to Qiantang Hou's mother and express our feelings. But at the moment, Qiantang Hou obviously will not accept Yang's proposal. Recruiting, in that case, Xuande, what do you think?"
Liu Bei smiled.
"In this case, they have only one last choice."
"Huangfu Song."
Fu Qian took Liu Bei's words and said with a smile: "Huangfu Song comes from a family of generals. His family has served in the army for many generations. He is quite prestigious and has a lot of influence in the army. If the Yang family's plan does not change, Huangfu Song will be their only choice." , but... Huangfusong is from Liangzhou."
Being a Liangzhou native is enough to give Yang a headache.
However, after the Han-Qiang War, although Liangzhou people were still theoretically qualified to serve as officials in Luoyang, they were generally suppressed and discriminated against and were not accepted by the mainstream. Liangzhou people were also subjected to political discrimination day after day. I feel more and more chilled, and I don’t regard myself as a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, opposing Liangzhou and not accepting Liangzhou bureaucrats also became a hidden political correctness, and it became more and more obvious as time went by. Therefore, Jia Xu, who had been a Langguan for many years, saw that his official career was hopeless and had no choice but to resign. The official returned to Liangzhou.
This kind of group bullying of outsiders is really annoying, and it will lead to the outbreak of conflicts between Liangzhou and the Central Committee of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the years to come. This is also a hidden fuse in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty.
As for what role Yuan, who personally lit this hidden fuse and finally exploded the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty, played in it, it is very intriguing.
But Liu Bei knew that if Yang wanted to join forces with Huangfu Song, he would simply put a sharp sword into the hands of the Ancient Literature School, turn his back, raise his butt and keep swinging it, while shouting - Come on Prick me, come and stab me, stab me and see! Fool!
Cheap or not?
Don't blame me then.
Sharp sword, sharp eyes, my sword only stabs bitches.
Of course, when the time comes, there may be strong disputes and conflicts within the Jinwen School itself. As an enlightened reformer, can Yang be able to stabilize the internal conflicts?
Just as Liu Bei expected, just one day later, Zhu Jun petitioned the court to return to his hometown to handle the funeral arrangements for his newly bereaved mother and to observe mourning for three years. Liu Hong commended him and issued an order to comfort him, allowing Zhu Jun to return to his hometown to handle the funeral arrangements for his mother. Do things and keep filial piety.
Zhu Jun's departure was so sudden that neither Yang Ci nor Yang Biao could react. Yang Biao had just discussed with Yang Ci how to deal with the ancient literature party's attack on Zhu Jun, and how to use more political benefits to bribe him. Seducing Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun actually returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.
Yang Ci and Yang Biao were shocked, but they also felt anxious.
Yang Ci sighed.
"If Zhu Jun leaves, who else can fight against Lu Zhi? If we can't win him over, how can we continue this matter? Don't overthrow Lu Zhi and pick the fruit for Liu Bei!"
Yang Biao was very anxious. He walked around and thought about it, then hesitantly looked at Zhu Jun.
"If there is no Zhu Jun, the only choice left is Huangfu Song. Among the generals of the Han Dynasty, except Zhu Jun, the only one who can compete with Lu Zhi is Huangfu Song."
"But he is from Liangzhou!"
Yang Ci said angrily: "This is what you said. Huangfusong is from Liangzhou, so he can't choose. Otherwise, why would we go to all the trouble to find Zhu Jun? Now, Zhu Jun is gone! What should we do? Go and talk to the Liangzhou people. Talk about cooperation?”
Seeing that his old father was very angry, Yang Biao had nothing to do.
This man is destined to have misfortune and misfortune, and Zhu Jun's loss of his wife is indeed not something he can decide by himself.
If this kind of thing really happens, there is no other way but to be sad, but for now, we really need to find another way, and we can't just sit back and wait for death.
"Father, calm down and don't get angry."
Yang Biao said in a low voice: "My son knows his father's worries, but at this moment, we have no choice. Besides, if we really talk about it, we are not the first to attract people from Liangzhou, so Yuan Wei won't accept it Did you accept the surrender of Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong County? Isn’t Dong Zhuo also from Liangzhou?”
Yang Ci shook his head and sighed.
"What kind of virtue is Yuan's? The eunuchs are so powerful that they move closer to the eunuchs. The people of Liangzhou have made great contributions. They recruit people from Liangzhou to serve as their subordinates. Their reputation has long been ruined. If it weren't for the foundation laid by their ancestors, it would be great." , disciples and old officials have already spread all over the world, do they dare to do this?"
Yang Biao whispered: "He is the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family, and I, the Yang family, have also been the third generation and the third Duke. They are also disciples and former officials all over the world. Although their power is not as powerful as that of the Yuan family, who dares to underestimate us? Father, in extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. method."
Yang Ci hesitated for a moment, sighed, and looked at Yang Biao.
"The Yuan family only did such a thing after becoming the Third Duke in the fourth life. But I am worried that if we do this, our Yang family will always be the Third Duke. You will be implicated in the future and your reputation will be damaged. You cannot For the sake of Sangong, my son needs to know that this is too important to the Yang family."
Of course, Yang Biao wanted to be ranked as the Third Duke, continue the glory of the third generation and the Third Duke of the family, and ascend to the throne of the top noble clan of the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke.
But if they accept and support the Liangzhou people at this time, it would be too much of a political and moral risk for them.
Accepting the Jiangdong Wuren Group has caused many conflicts within the Jinwen School, let alone accepting Liangzhou people?
This kind of risk is so great that the worried Yang family has to be careful.
Yang Biao couldn't make a decision, and Yang Ci couldn't make a decision either.
After a long time, Yang Biao spoke in a low voice.
"But father... we have already taken the first step. This second step must be taken no matter what. If we stop here, how will others view the Yang family? How will those pseudo-study heirs view our orthodox heirs? The impact is too great.”
