Naturally, the Kong family will be let go. Their ancestors are so powerful, and everyone has to rely on the banner that their ancestors tore down to live their lives, so no matter what happens, the Kong family will be let go.
And judging from the time and distance, Kong was indeed not involved in this matter.
Although other Jinwen School families are in the same state, only Kong can restore the Ancient Literature School, which has a hot head and red eyes, to its sanity. Facing other families, the Ancient Literature School is a pure beast.
With the state of mind of a wild beast, he launched an explosion against the modern literature school and fought to the death.
Another exception is the Hongnong Yang family, a family that Liu Bei took the initiative to treat differently.
Liu Bei believed that the Yang family should be treated a little more leniently and not be beaten to death with a stick. He would first bring the Yang family to Luoyang for interrogation, and then conduct a thorough internal search of the Yang family to see if any prohibited or rebellion-related items would appear. Make a decision again.
Apart from these two families, the remaining Jinwen School families were not so lucky.
Including the Long Kanghuan clan, Liu Bei sent troops from Luoyang to capture them in one fell swoop. The entire clan was destroyed, and all those who resisted were killed. All those captured were taken to Luoyang for questioning. Within the three clans, regardless of gender, old or young, all Everyone was caught, and no one was spared.
Then Liu Bei also asked his general's office to fully grasp the inventory and arrangement of the family assets of the accused family.
The entire capture operation was not too complicated. Luoyang's elite soldiers went to carry out the task in person. Although these families were large in size and had the ability to resist, there was no time to exert force.
After Luoyang's elite soldiers arrived, they took the lead in carrying out sneak attacks, destroying their families and seizing the main figures, making it impossible for these families to resist and were all captured. This was the case for all captured families, who were killed without even resisting.
Of course, some families have a good reputation, and some people in the local area want to ask for mercy, but they are rejected without hesitation.
There are also some disciples, who probably miss the kindness of these families, or want to gain a wave of fame according to the old practice, and feel that this is a promising thing.
For example, more than a hundred disciples and disciples of the Lang family in Anqiu, Beihai came to plunder the Lang family when they were captured and escorted to Luoyang.
Wearing simple equipment, they launched a sneak attack on the escorting army, hoping that the sudden attack would catch the escorting army off guard and lead to a successful robbery.
Of course, the result was that all the elite Luoyang soldiers who performed the mission were eliminated.
The gap between them and the regular army was really too big. They couldn't stop the regular army's counterattack. Most of them were killed, and some were captured alive. After a heavy memory recovery spell, the survivors were all taken care of.
According to the clues of these survivors, they were reported to Luoyang. After Liu Bei learned about it, he sent generals and elite troops to the area to launch an attack on these "rebels" who dared to attack the official army.
This is the most direct rebellion, so there is no room for negotiation. The rebellion will be wiped out and the three tribes will be annihilated.
For this reason, there was some local dissatisfaction and panic in Beihai and Jiyin counties, and some families fled southward, seemingly out of fear of being executed by the Luoyang court.
In short, this wave of actions still had a great impact, and local governors also had different opinions on the matter, but generally speaking, no one in the official mission made irresponsible remarks on the actions of the Luoyang court.
Even Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu did not take any action when Liu Bei sent people to perform tasks in Beihai. He allowed Luoyang's elite soldiers to work in Beihai. He did not participate in the whole process. He just handled official duties normally and took the time to carry them with him. Tai Shici and others rushed to Donglai County to suppress the water bandits.
They all know that this is not only the anger of Liu Bei, but also the anger of the entire ancient literature school, and the anger of a group of people currently in charge of the power in Luoyang City.
Once the anger of this group of people breaks out, it will be very bad if they don't vent it out.
The assassination move made by the Jinwen school was so bad that it directly violated the highest taboo in the entire officialdom. Therefore, when Liu Bei vented his anger, no matter what the local officials had in mind, they did not dare to express it.
At present, they are all looking forward to Liu Bei venting his anger as soon as possible so that they can live in peace for a few days.
Fortunately, Liu Bei did not intend to mess up the world with this wave, so the people he sent were very disciplined and did not cause any trouble. In other words, they were a little more ferocious and used a more ferocious attack on the local area.
While Luoyang's elite soldiers went to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou and other places to perform tasks, they were also simultaneously enhancing the prestige and deterrence of the Luoyang court in the local area.
These two things have gradually declined since the Hedong crisis. After Liu Hong's death and the Luoyang coup, the Luoyang court's prestige and deterrence over the local area dropped to a freezing point.
As Liu Bei conquered Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the prestige and deterrence of the Luoyang court gradually increased. After Liu Bei resolved the rebellions in Jizhou and Youzhou and completed a successful Northern Expedition, this deterrence began to increase fiercely with Liu Bei himself as the core. swell.
But this time, the Luoyang court's overall political liquidation of the Jinwen School in a sense expanded this deterrent force to every state involved.
The vulnerable appearance of those big families with a family history of 100 or 200 years under the iron fist bombardment of the Luoyang court was seen by many families. They originally thought that the Luoyang court was dealing with them like a strong dragon but not a local snake, but Now, they find they were wrong.
As long as the Luoyang court is still there, there is no saying that a strong dragon will not suppress local snakes. It is just that Qianglong has too many things to consider, and he needs to take into account the cost and impact of doing things.
But once you touch the bottom line of the court, the court will no longer worry about the cost and impact...
Its iron fist will quickly fall from the sky, turning you from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional plane, allowing you to experience what a dimensionality reduction strike is.
This is the Han Empire, not Europe. It is still too much to think about using the power of a family against the power of a country.
Therefore, during the entire killing process, after those close families who wanted to help the Jinwen sect's powerful families were bombarded by a wave of iron fists, other scholars and powerful families kept silent. Watching the actions of Luoyang's elite soldiers.
Perhaps they have not experienced the military deterrence from the central court for a long time, nor have they experienced the super deterrent power of a strong military man, let alone lived under the leadership of a strong military man.
Therefore, they were not used to it for a while, but they were very adaptable and soon got used to it and realized how extraordinary Liu Bei was, a military strongman.
Just as Liu Bei planned, while cleaning up the Yue family of the Modern Literature School in a legitimate name with the support of the Ancient Literature School, he was also simultaneously increasing his own prestige and the deterrent power of the Luoyang court.
After this operation, there will be a qualitative leap in the local circulation efficiency of imperial decrees, and this leap will lay a solid foundation for the first farmland operation.
However, before the first operation to conquer the fields, the convening of the Jiade Hall meeting was already an imminent matter.
The liquidation of the Yue family of the Jinwen School continued until July. All preparations for the Jiade Palace meeting had been completed, and they were just waiting for Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, the masters and disciples, to announce the meeting.
When they finally got out of the liquidation operation, it was already July 20th of the first year of Jian'an, and the Jiade Hall meeting led by the Ancient Literature School was finally about to be held.
This Jiade Palace meeting was not only attended by many representatives of the ancient literature school and second- and third-rate families. Liu Bei also made the decision and selected 300 representatives from 30,000 imperial students to attend together, mainly to observe and be a guest. witness.
So on July 22nd, when the meeting was officially held, the Jiade Hall was bustling with activity.
Because the main core content has basically been discussed, the nature of this public meeting is relatively similar to a press conference. Facing the representatives of the Three Hundred Tai students and many representatives of second- and third-rate scholar families, Liu Bei, as the host of the meeting, will All the content that everyone discussed and approved before will be announced.
Unlike the Modern Literature School, which engages in prophecy and superstitious activities, the core philosophy of the Ancient Literature School’s governance is Confucius’ philosophy—respect ghosts and gods and keep away from them.
It focuses on "respecting ghosts and gods" in daily life and "staying away" in the political life of the court.
Life is a human life. Ghosts and gods are detached from the human world, do not eat the fireworks of the world, and do not participate in human disputes. Therefore, decisions on major political matters are still far away from them.
On weekdays, we worship them, pray for peace and blessing, appease them, live in harmony and friendship with them, and focus on drawing water from a well without disturbing the river.
On key issues, people still have to make decisions, and the responsibility cannot be passed on to ghosts and gods.
Representatives of the family that inherited "Fei Shiyi" and the family that inherited "Zhou Guanli" spoke one after another, providing opinions from their respective families' heirloom knowledge to support Liu Bei's opinions.
They believe that sacrifice is the most important, and whether it is divination or prophecies and rumors, there are some problems.
Even under Liu Bei's ingenious design, they also put forward some very special views.
For example, communication between humans and ghosts and gods is very difficult. The two parties cannot understand each other. People often cannot understand some of the opinions of ghosts and gods. If they are forced to explain, it will lead to disasters.
So simply don’t blame ghosts and gods for important decisions.
The ghosts and gods did not make mistakes, but people could not understand the intentions of the ghosts and gods. They misunderstood the ghosts and gods, and made mistakes, which led to disastrous consequences. However, they did not blame the wrong people, but instead blamed the ghosts and gods. This made the ghosts and gods unhappy. things.
Once ghosts and gods feel unhappy, they may bring more disasters to punish the human world, and the human world will suffer more disasters. Many disasters in the past may have originated from this.
In order to prevent such things from happening, when it comes to things that may make mistakes, it is better not to ask ghosts and gods anymore. People make their own decisions and bear their own responsibilities.
Rewards for doing the right thing and punishment for doing the wrong thing. Limit the rewards and punishments to the human world. Don't involve ghosts and gods. Keep a distance from them, so as not to anger them and suffer more disasters.
This requires the ruling team of the imperial court, the four ministers, the generals and the three princes and other leading figures to bravely shoulder their responsibilities.
In this regard, Liu Bei put forward his own eight-character mantra.
[If you want to ascend to a high position, you need to bear its weight]
Liu Bei said these eight words, which aroused a chorus of approval.
