On the night after returning to Luoyang City, Liu Bei summoned the big guys of the ancient literature school to Lu Zhi's house and held a brief meeting with them. The core idea was that everyone should just go ahead and work hard to complete modern literature in one go. The pie was scrapped.
In the court, the Imperial Academy, the streets and alleys, and in front of the mansions of the big guys of the Modern Literature School, they opened fire with all their strength, attacked with all their strength, and tried their best to drive them into the bottomless abyss.
Liu Bei, as the main force of the Ancient Literature School, will work with Lu Zhi at the highest level to persuade the Emperor Liu Xie and the Empress Dowager Dong to put the final coffin lid on the Modern Literature School.
The big guys of the ancient literature school were inspired and began to move forward bravely.
In the next few days, they continued their efforts, and then Liu Bei returned to Luoyang to seal the officials and launched a fierce offensive against the Jinwen School.
The Modern Literature School was under complete siege. They were verbally attacked by supporters of the Ancient Literature School in Taixue, on the streets, and even in front of their own homes. They could only talk back, and did not even dare to argue with people from the Ancient Literature School, for fear that one day If there is a dispute, they will be arrested by the Luoyang government.
The Luoyang government was very calm about the matter of estrangement.
In the court, the modern literature school was even worse. They were so reviled that they could not hold their heads up. People from the ancient literature school used various examples to tell them about their fallacies in governing the country. Liu Bei was used as a representative to prove the ancient literature school. correctness.
Huan Dian and Zhang Xi tried to resist, and officials from the modern literature school stood up to refute the ancient literature school's claims.
As a result, Liu Bei, the former debate master, returned to battle again.
He appeared from his own experience and used famous aphorisms from "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" to explain what he was doing to refute Huan Dian and Zhang Xi.
"Zuo Chuan said, "One day to control the enemy will bring disaster for generations." Therefore, when dealing with the enemy, I must kill them all. However, some previous generals were not like this. Instead, they are eager to obtain more and longer-term benefits from their enemies, so that their enemies continue to grow in power.
When the power has grown to a certain stage, the enemy is no longer an existence that can be manipulated at will. Those who care about the invaders and respect themselves will surely be harmed by the invaders. I deeply understand the wisdom and mistakes of the predecessors and learn from their predecessors. experience, so he has never been defeated. "
"Zuo Chuan said, "Without virtue, there will be disaster." Isn't this a sentence that everyone in our generation should be wary of? If you are in a high position but have no virtue, you only seek your own interests and neglect your own moral cultivation. Therefore, Disaster is coming.
He Jin was like this, and Yuan Wei was like this, so they lost their wealth, life, and reputation. It is in view of this that I never neglect the cultivation of virtue, so I can stand here and talk to you about this matter. . "
"Zuo Chuan said: "Apply virtues, act according to your ability, and act accordingly, so as not to burden future generations." This is the sentence that touches me the most. Whether it is ancient people or modern people, this situation exists. How to deal with it? When dealing with things, do not look at your own abilities or moral standards, but only look at whether it is in line with your own immediate interests.
The Liangzhou Rebellion was like this, and the Hedong Rebellion was like this. The ones who suffered in the end were the descendants. If the predecessors did things for the sake of profit without considering the descendants, the descendants must pay for the irresponsible behavior of the predecessors. The price, how unfortunate is this for future generations? "
Liu Bei listed three famous sentences in "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" and made his own interpretation. Especially focusing on the last one, he launched the strongest attack on the Jinwen school.
"That's probably what happened with Jinbun classics. The country was governed by Jinbun classics, and it did a lot of immoral things, and it also did a lot of things that were incompetent. In the end, it would be better not to do them than to do them!"
"The Liangzhou Rebellion lasted for more than a hundred years and has only been slowly eliminated. The reason is that I acted under the guidance of "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" and then eliminated it. Isn't this a shortcoming of this classic? "
"The bandits in Bingzhou caused the chaos in Hedong. The bandits did not happen in one day, but the problem was accumulated over a long period of time without being dealt with. It finally broke out and has not been resolved to this day. Isn't this a classic in this article? Any shortcomings?"
"With so many obvious things before our eyes, among all the princes in the court, has anyone thought about solving them? How to solve them?"
"I believe there must be something. For example, my teacher, Taiwei Lu Gong, must have thought about it and wanted to do it. However, due to the restrictions of the modern scriptures, he couldn't operate it!"
Liu Bei pointed at Lu Zhi, then extended his hand to Huan Dian and Zhang Xi, his face full of sadness and dissatisfaction: "The country has suffered a lot, and the people have been ravaged and are wailing, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are limited by the classics and cannot deal with it. How ridiculous is it that it cannot be handled? How unfortunate is the country? How unfortunate are the people?
Since the Baihuguan Conference, the Han Dynasty has governed the country with the Jinwen Classics. Today, the shortcomings of the Jinwen Classics have been fully exposed, and they can no longer guide the Han Dynasty forward. In the face of such a real situation, if there are still people who want to oppose, what are they doing with those who deceive others? the difference?
Dr. Huan and Dr. Zhang, you both come from a distinguished family and have never known the sufferings of the people. You were born to be superiors and can serve as officials. Is it because your own virtues and talents are particularly outstanding? Can I not see it?
To gain wealth without virtue is a disaster! You have been so favored by the country, but do not have the corresponding virtues and talents. You are running around for petty profits all day long. You are narrow-minded and have no responsibility, let alone reflect on what you have done! That people like you can still hold high positions in the imperial court is the great fallacy of this classic! "
At this point, the officials of the Manchu Ancient Literature School cheered and encouraged Liu Bei. Lu Zhi took the lead. All the officials of the Ancient Literature School stood up and gave their highest approval to Liu Bei's wonderful debate.
Huan Dian and Zhang Xi's faces turned red when they were refuted, and their eyes also turned red, their faces full of twisted anger.
Zhang Xi pointed at Liu Bei tremblingly.
"Liu Xuande, am I ungrateful? You are the ungrateful person! How many people have died at your hands! You are simply a butcher!"
"hahahahahahahaha!"
Liu Bei laughed loudly, and then laughed and said: "Doctor Zhang, I thought that as a high-ranking person, you would have to have a high opinion to refute me, but in the end, you said such vulgar words, isn't it ridiculous? "
"you……"
"I have something to say, please listen carefully!"
Liu Bei supported the crown on his head, straightened his official uniform, and said seriously: "Of the people Bei killed, which one was not a thief? Which one was not a traitor? They are all cancers of the Han Dynasty. Everyone in the world is willing to get rid of them quickly. I will take my place." The people of the world eliminated it, the people of the world praised it, and the court praised it. How could he become a butcher?
If I don't kill them, they can overthrow Liangzhou, destroy Sanfu, march to Sanhe, and destroy Luoyang. By then, Chixian Shenzhou will be full of fishy smell. Doctor Zhang, you and your family will either die or wholesale Zuoji. Of course, Because of Dr. Zhang's immorality, it is inevitable that he will wholesale Zuo Ren. "
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
The officials of the Ancient Literature School laughed out loud at this.
Zhang Xi's face turned red, his anger rose, and his hand pointing at Liu Bei was trembling.
"Liu Xuande, you..."
"shut up!"
Liu Bei's expression changed, and he said angrily: "Shameless old thief! You only have petty profits in your eyes, and no righteousness! Killing enemies for the country is regarded as a butcher by you. Don't you know that all the suffering people in the world are willing to eat your flesh! An! Dare you talk here!"
"you……"
"Shut up! You dare to talk?!"
Liu Bei quickly walked up to Zhang Xi, reached out and grabbed his collar, and said angrily: "A brilliant man! Old thief with a gray beard! You are about to lose your life to Jiuquan. How will you look like the emperors of the past? In your lifetime, He has not made any achievements yet, he is too shy to hold a high position, and he can only talk and talk!
You did nothing when the country was in trouble, but you rushed to get the credit first. You ignored the facts, confused right and wrong, betrayed your conscience, and wronged your loyal friends. You are just a dog with a broken spine, but you still dare to bark in front of me! I have never seen such a shameless person! ! "
Liu Bei pushed lightly, and Zhang Xi, whose mind went blank, fell to the ground.
It is not surprising that such a ferocious debate came from Liu Bei's mouth. In the eyes of many officials at the time, this was Liu Bei's true strength that they had not seen for a long time.
Back then, when facing the powerful Modern Literature School, Liu Bei was so eloquent that he refuted the guys of the Modern Literature School and became speechless.
Now, it's just history repeating itself.
The original team returned to battle, and Liu Bei once again demonstrated his powerful ability as a debater. After so many years on the battlefield, his skills in speaking have never fallen behind, and he is still so sharp.
It’s back, it’s all back, everything from back then is back!
Debate master Liu Xuande is back like lightning!
And when he returns, Jinwen School will be completely buried by him!
In the eyes of people who have never witnessed Liu Bei's debate, this is nothing less than a good show that they will never forget.
They finally understood why Liu Bei became the greatest hero of the Ancient Literature School, and why the Ancient Literature School rewarded Liu Bei with the qualifications of a high-ranking official.
Now it seems that this reward is not a loss at all, and is even earned with blood.
Because as long as Liu Bei uses all his firepower, he can even help the ancient literature school completely subvert the modern literature school. For this, the entire ancient literature school will benefit, not just an individual.
What a great thing.
There is no doubt that Liu Bei won this blow. There was no player in the Jinwen school who could compete with him at that time, and there is no one who can compete with him now, or even worse.
So Liu Bei threw away these useless opponents, faced the young emperor and the empress dowager, and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, to this day, the shortcomings of Jinwen Jing's governance have been undoubtedly exposed. Emperor Guangwu had already noticed this as early as the time when the Han Dynasty was at the center, so he adopted the Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals from the Ancient Wen Jing. Established as an official school.
However, Emperor Xiaozhang failed to notice. At the Baihuguan Conference, "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" was abolished as an official study, and the Han Dynasty completely governed the country based on modern classics. What has the Han Dynasty gained in the past hundred years? What we get is a deteriorating national situation! There are bandits and wars everywhere!
Today, I can say that if we can no longer depose modern classics and use ancient classics to govern the country, then the country of the Han Dynasty will not be able to recover. No matter how much I can use troops or fight, all the results will be wasted by these insects. , the big man gets nothing.
Therefore, I boldly request your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to depose Jinwen Classic! Fully adopt ancient Chinese classics to govern the country, and establish academic officials for ancient Chinese classics! Set up an official school! Call on people all over the world to study ancient Chinese classics. In this way, the power of the Han Dynasty can be restored, and the Han Dynasty will surely rise again! "
Inspired by Liu Bei, Lu Zhi took the lead in saying the same words to the young emperor Liu Xie and the empress dowager Dong.
"Your Majesty, Lu Zhi, respectfully invites Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to depose the modern classics and adopt the ancient classics!"
After Lu Zhi took the lead, more people jumped out.
"Your Majesty, Cai Yong, please ask Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to abandon the modern classics and adopt the ancient classics!"
"I surrender and sincerely request Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, to depose the modern classics and adopt the ancient classics!"
"Your Majesty, Ma Rixi, please ask Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to abandon the modern classics and adopt the ancient classics!"
………………
………………
One or two official gangsters who usually kept silent no longer continued to be gangsters at this time. They all stood up. Even if their role was to be repeaters, they all now stood up and repeated readings.
But at this time, the Ancient Literature School really needs them to stand up and re-read. The louder their re-reading voices are and the more people participate in the re-reading, the greater the promotion effect of so many people on the entire situation.
When the silent majority comes forward, it often means things will change.
At the stall that is about to change, the voices of some people who shout out their objections are really not loud enough.
Although Huan Dian and Zhang Xi desperately opposed it, it seemed to be of no use. Their political power suffered heavy losses after the Hedong crisis, and they no longer had the ability to compete in the court.
Liu Xie didn't quite understand this yet. When he saw many people standing up and saying the same thing, he couldn't help but cast his eyes behind him, his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong.
As the person who can actually make the final decision, Empress Dowager Dong is a little excited now.
She doesn't care about the dispute between modern and ancient literature. It's useless for her to care. She doesn't understand these things very well. She only knows that these things involve great interests. If one party wins, the other party will lose. The party that loses all will lose. Everything will be lost and a lot will be gained by the other party.
But inside and outside the words, Liu Bei's meaning was very clear.
If the things that the late emperor failed to accomplish back then were accomplished today, not only would the ancient literature school praise the present emperor with all their strength, but a great monument would also be built for the Empress Dowager, and the Dong family of the empress dowager would also benefit from the ancient literature school. full care.
This is something that the Jinwen School, which currently holds the cultural monopoly, cannot give up to the royal family, so...
Your Majesty, do you know how to do this?
I understand, of course I understand. My own surname is Dong, how could I not understand?
No one knows better than me!
Faced with a tsunami of approval, Empress Dowager Dong made the most correct decision at the moment.
She stood up and said a few words to the little emperor Liu Xie in front of her.
Liu Xie nodded.
"What the general said, what the Taiwei said, and what all the gentlemen said, it is great and accurate!"
