Chen Deng's open rebellion, like a gun, directly stirred up the stagnant political arena.

On the next day, Liu Xie accompanied his eldest wife, the queen, for a walk in the palace, pretending to be loving and putting his ear on his belly to enjoy the joy of family, suddenly Zhang Yu stumbled over.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

"What's wrong?"

"The great scholar Zheng Xuan, I heard that Zheng Xuan is coming to Xudu with more than a hundred disciples!"

"Zheng Xuan?" Liu Xie was stunned for a long time before saying, "Who is it?"

"It's... it's Zheng Xuan, the contemporary great scholar Zheng Xuan."

Cao Xi said: "Does the emperor even remember Zheng Xuan? He is a famous master of Confucianism in the world. He is the leader of Jing Shiyi and Gongyang Chunqiu. He is the leader of the Gongyang Sect today, or the nine ministers of the current dynasty. However, he just took the lead for a moment and went back to his hometown in Qingzhou. Speaking of which, Zheng Gong should be over 70 years old this year, right?"

"Your nine ministers can still be in vain? Oh~, anyway, they are the highly respected scholars. Why, is he here to be an official?"

"Your Majesty! Zheng Xuan is Chen Qiu's disciple! He is... here to scold you!"

Needless to say, Zheng Xuan must have come for Zhao Yun's affairs. This age-old scholar and senior, but he had the intention of admonishing each other for death. The court is almost nervous now.

Such people will definitely not be killed easily, otherwise the emperor's reputation will become bad and will be written into historical books for thousands of years.

But if you debate with him, others can cried to you by citing the classics.

Liu Xie said, "Ah? I scolded me? Hi, I thought it was a big deal. Since the old man is already over 70 years old, just curse me a few words. I can't lose my meat. There are so many people scolding me these days, so he doesn't need to worry about him. If he comes, I think that he once assassinated Dong Zhuo, and I don't have the same knowledge as him and let him scold me."

Liu Xie was not nervous at all, but was happy to press his face against Cao Xi's belly.

"Damn, this little bastard has strong legs."

However, Zhang Yu was a little stunned by Liu Xie's reaction.

"Ah? This... that's it? Your Majesty, Zheng Xuan is a famous scholar in the country, so you must respect it."

"I don't disrespect him, didn't I say I could let him scold me?"

"This...but this is a traitor."

"A man in his seventies, what are he doing when he is just as familiar with him."

"This... Your Majesty, why don't we hurry up and find a great scholar who can compete with him, and be ready to refute his nonsense?"

"What's the matter? The big scholar swears and loses blood. I still have to have a whole shield?"

“…………”

"I have never heard of a knife killing people, but I have never heard of a person who is used to curse people."

"But... if this is written in history books..."

"Write whatever you like, it doesn't affect my eating or drinking."

“…………”

It seems that what I said makes sense.

You should know that everyone in the court was so nervous that Zheng Xuan came here. This great scholar was really worthy of face. In order to allow him to enter Beijing safely, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Kuang even deliberately truce for three days and respectfully sent him to Yanzhou.

But the emperor was so calm and gentle, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. For a moment, the government and the country naturally had to discuss it.

The old man walked very quickly. He walked from Taishan County to Xudu in less than half a month.

And in the past half month, Liu Xie also learned a little background information about the great scholar who was about to come and scold him.

Simply put, it is... a very awesome scholar who likes to teach students and has many students all over the world. He and the Yuan family are still unclear. He had a good relationship with Yuan Tan when he was in Qingzhou. The debate conference held by Yuan Shao a few days ago specially invited him to attend.

So in order to show that he was humble and scolded, Liu Xie specially met him in the hall.

This guy didn't come alone, and he brought a large number of students from behind. As soon as he entered the palace, he gave Liu Xie a warning.

"My minister Zheng Xuan, see Your Majesty."

"Well, Mr. Zheng, what is it that big white cloth behind you?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this is the book of ten thousand words written by Confucian scholars from all over the world, who have jointly named him the book of ten thousand words by Your Majesty."

"Oh? What's it written."

"Please kill Zhao Yun to thank the world."

"Oh~ Zhang Yu, come and show me."

Then Liu Xie held the so-called Wanyan Book in his hand and said in amazement: "The handwriting is so beautiful."

"Your Majesty, did you agree to kill Zhao Yun?"

"Don't agree."

"Your Majesty, this is the heart of all people!"

"Oh. But I don't listen."

"you……"

Zheng Xuan was stunned. Isn’t this a scoundrel?

"Are you not afraid of shaking the foundation of the country?"

"Not afraid, it's okay. If you want to say anything, just say it happily. Zhang Yu, bring a stool for Mr. Zheng and let him sit down and say, Mr. Zheng, don't worry, you said, I promise to listen carefully. Anyway, I won't do it after listening."

“…………”

Zhang Yu really took a Hu stool and put it under Zheng Xuan's butt.

It is not good if you are in your seventies, what will you do to sit and talk about? Who will be the one who is old and old, if you kneel down?

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever known that the Marquis was convinced by Zhou, and his destiny was not constant?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of gasping in the hall. Cao Cao even widened his eyes and shouted: "Rareless! Zheng Xuan, are you here to make a living today?"

However, Liu Xie interrupted Cao Cao and smoothed out Zheng Xuan: "Oh, what is the Grand Sima doing? Are you arguing? Oh, this, debate? How can we be so anxious and shameless at the beginning?"

Then he asked for advice humbly: "I have never heard of this sentence. How dare I ask what this means?"

Zheng Xuan snorted and said, "The destiny of heaven is not fixed, and the Yin people also surrendered to the Zhou people."

"Oh, what's right." Liu Xie actually nodded.

"Have the emperor heard that the people's hearts are impermanent and only virtue is the auxiliary."

"No, what does this mean?"

"It means that the hearts of the people are also impermanent. Whoever can bring them benefits will obey who. On the contrary, if the king does not win the hearts of the people, he should be replaced, replaced, and removed!"

After the words were finished, there was a needle falling from the hall.

There is nothing strange about this. To put it bluntly, this thing is the mainstream view of the Gongyang School that became popular in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty: it was just a saying that the country changed its surname.

The general meaning is that if the emperor has no virtue, he should be replaced. Since entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, this statement has completely become a heretic theory. It was not until recently that Yuan Shao started to re-engage.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao wanted to be Wang Mang.

Interestingly, Wang Mang was pushed up to advocate reform, but he advocated conservativeness.

Liu Xiu, who overthrew Wang Mang, advocated conservatism, but Liu Xie advocated change.

It can also be regarded as the cycle of cause and effect.

However, no matter what, talking about this in the Eastern Han Dynasty is indeed a bit of a traitor.

Everyone was waiting for Liu Xielongyan to be furious.

However, Liu Xie slapped his thigh when he heard this: "You are very reasonable! The so-called king is a boat, the people are water, and water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat. This is a truth."

“…………”

Zheng Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this ten thousand words are enough to prove that the people's will. If Your Majesty really thinks that water can carry boats and can also overturn them, please follow the people's wishes and kill Zhao Yun to thank the world."

Liu Xie simply shook his head: "Don't kill."

"You..." Zheng Xuan was really confused by Liu Xie. The old man had not had many days of life, so he didn't hesitate to ask for fame with his death. He immediately shook his sleeves according to his temper and said, "Since that's the case, why don't Your Majesty change the surname of the country and be a wise man?"

Good guy, Zheng Xuan is worthy of being one of the leaders of the Gongyang Sect. He directly imitated Guan Hong during the Western Han Dynasty. Gai Kuanlao and persuaded the emperor to abdicate in person.

After saying that, Zheng Xuan held his head up and looked forward to death.

At this point, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and had a gloomy face. How could they not see Zheng Xuan’s plan?

If you kill, the emperor will be disgusted, and it is really disgusting. Yuan Shao will probably be happy to die.

But if you don’t kill it, it would be even more disgusting, especially since the emperor just issued two self-criticisms. If you believe it or not, a pair of great scholars will appear to shake the flag and shout for Yuan Shao.

However, when Liu Xie heard this, he immediately stopped sleeping.

"Hmm? What you meant just now was to persuade me to abdicate and abdicate?"

"Not bad! If Your Majesty insists on acting against the people of the world, it is better to be a virtuous person early, and that is the right way!"

When Liu Xie saw Liu Xie rushing down from the dragon throne, he grabbed Zheng Xuan's hand and said, "You are my soulmate! Why haven't I met a talent like Zheng Gong long ago!"

???

This reaction is a bit wrong!
