Chapter 1627 stumbling block
Xun Yu didn't hear Mrs. Tang's reaction, so he looked up at her. Seeing that she was in a daze, he couldn't help laughing. "What are you thinking about? Do you regret it?"
Mrs. Tang gave Xun Yu a blank look and said angrily: "I'm talking nonsense again, what do I regret? You're regretting it."
"If you didn't come to Chang'an and stay in Yingchuan, you might be called a lady now. With your intelligence, the Tang family won't..." Xun Yu suddenly stopped and didn't say anything. Mrs. Tang laughed: "It's useless for me to be in Yingchuan. I'm either forced to remarry or be forced to death. If Sun Ce doesn't arrest them, I will report them."
Xun Yu smiled bitterly. The Yingchuan family responded to Xun Yan and Que, and was arrested by Sun Ce and imprisoned in the county and county jail. The report had been sent to the court, but the court could not handle it. It was definitely not possible to say that they were guilty and asked Sun Ce to kill people. It would definitely not work. It would definitely not work to say that they were innocent and asked Sun Ce to release people. The court was in a dilemma and could only drag it first like dealing with Guo Yi and others. However, the people in the Yingchuan family in the court could not watch their family being imprisoned and their family property were taken away and they kept pressing the emperor to ask the court to deal with this matter. Because Xun Yan, who was in charge of contact, was Xun Yu's brother, almost every day, people came to Xun Yu to solve the problem as soon as possible. Mrs. Tang's father and brother were also among them, but she never mentioned that although Xun Yu knew that she was not as ruthless as she appeared, she just knew that Xun Yu had no solution, and it was useless to say it, and it only increased her worries.
"Don't care about those old people, they have no way out, they can't make a big deal except for a few yelling."
"A few words are annoying, let alone not everyone is old." Xun Yu sighed, and he was not even interested in memorizing the article. He closed his eyes, raised his head, and smiled slightly on the corner of his mouth, but it looked bitter. When Mrs. Tang saw it, she thought for a moment and understood Xun Yu's difficulties. "Do you want to imitate?"
"Well, Guanzhong has insufficient population and the workshop lacks manpower and cannot operate normally. If women can be allowed to work in the workshop like Nanyang, it can alleviate the problem of insufficient manpower. Besides, this news will spread soon and we cannot hide it. Once those people know the situation in Nanyang and don't know how many people are leaving, Guanzhong will really become a wilderness. But..."
Xun Yu smacked his lips and didn't say anything. The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. Guanzhong lacked everything, but the only one who was conservative ministers. Although most of these people had no power, their influence was still there. Sun Ce was in great power, and the court needed Yuan Tan to check and balance Sun Ce, but could not hold Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others accountable, allowing these people to escape and leave hidden dangers. Especially Kong Rong.
Not long after Kong Rong arrived in Chang'an, it caused a great shock in Chang'an. First, Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius and had a unique identity; second, Kong Rong became famous at a young age. When he was a child thirty years ago, he was praised by the famous scholar Li Ying, and his reputation in the scholar's forest was unattainable. His journey from Qingzhou to Chang'an is undoubtedly a powerful proof of people's concern for the Han Dynasty. He was indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty. When he met the emperor, he cried bitterly, as if he had lost his parents. The emperor was grateful for his loyalty and righteousness and appointed him as the young mansion. He often asked him for advice when he had something to do. Kong Rong was also blunt, citing scriptures and giving advice to the emperor.
However, his erudition soon made him trouble. He couldn't stand everything in Chang'an and had to make criticisms. However, his knowledge was good, and no one could argue with him. Even Xun Yu could not convince him as the promoter of the new policy. Xun Yu received the most criticism, and he had become the initiator of Kong Rong's mouth, and Xun Yu's complex interpersonal relationships were criticized by Kong Rong. In his opinion, Xun Yu was a hypocrite, and the entire Xun family was speculator. Xun Yu was a disaster for the government when he came to Chang'an, and there was no loyalty at all. Xun Yu could not argue, so he could only express silence, and from then on he stayed away from Kong Rong. He had not returned to the palace for a long time, and he subconsciously did not want to see Kong Rong.
"There is actually a solution." Mrs. Tang suddenly laughed.
"What can I do with Madam?"
"In fact, there are not as many people who value the difference between men and women as you imagine. Ordinary people have difficulty making a living. How many families can keep women idle at home? What men can do, most women can do, and what women can do, men may not be able to do, so it is not uncommon for ordinary people to be the head of the family. Some brutal women are beyond your imagination. From the perspective of region, border counties are more open than the mainland. I heard Lu Xiaohuan say that women in border areas do everything, so how can they care about men's superiority and women's inferiority, men outside and women inside. When the Hu people are fighting, there are countless women holding swords to fight, so the ones who really care about men's differences are those old."
Xun Yu listened quietly.
"The situation in Guanzhong is now difficult and the population is insufficient. If the court advocates equality between men and women like Nanyang, few people will object except those old people. It doesn't matter if they oppose it. The court has no money, and has stopped their salaries and asked them to find a way to make a living by themselves. If they don't want to do it, they will just go wherever they want to go, and they just need their official positions to arrange others. Do you think they still have a place to go? A bunch of waste."
Xun Yu laughed silently. "You continue to say."
"Your Majesty is going to fight westward, and the support of the gentry in Liangzhou is the key. It is to drive away those old people, and it is just right to recruit some geniuses from Liangzhou to serve. The difference between men and women is not that serious, and coupled with the temptation of official positions, they are easy to accept this idea. If you can pick a few women with outstanding talents from Liangzhou to serve, or even a few women with both talent and virtue and appearance into the palace, it will also help Your Majesty seize Liangzhou. I think that when necessary, you can even negotiate with the Qiang people and Xianbei people. As long as they are willing to support Your Majesty, you can marry them, marry the princess to various tribes as wives, and Your Majesty can also marry women of all races. So many royal families gathered in Chang'an, and pick a few women and make them princesses, and it is not difficult to marry each other. Your Majesty also has women around you, so there is no need to worry about his descendants."
Xun Yu opened his eyes. "If Your Majesty gave birth to a child with Girl Hu and succeeded to the throne in the future, wouldn't the Emperor of Han become Hu Zong?"
"You..." Mrs. Tang tied her hair for Xun Yu and bit her nose. "What's the surname Shennong? Her surname is Jiang. What is Jiang? The Qiang girl is Jiang. Shennong is a Qiang person."
Xun Yu sat upright and frowned. "Who said that? Isn't this slandering the saint?"
Mrs. Tang smiled. "Okay, we won't talk about the Qiang people. Then you think, are the people of Jingzhou people barbarians? Jingzhou is Jingman, Yangzhou is Baiyue, they are all barbarians, right? Not to mention the people of Jiaozhou. I really have to count up. At the time of Confucius, at least half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were barbarians. Do you want to drive them out now?"
Xun Yu was speechless and glanced at Mrs. Tang sideways, laughing and crying. "Mrs. Talk about her very strong recently, and her knowledge has increased significantly. I wonder what experts have you met recently and what books you have read. Can I also increase my knowledge?"
"There are many books. I have collected seventy or eighty articles from Nanyang County. If you want to read it, you can take it back to the palace and read it slowly. However, you have to stay for dinner and enter the palace again tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tang raised her eyebrows and blushed on her face. "You have nothing to do."
Xun Yu suddenly realized, patted his forehead, and shook his hand with a smile. "I forgot. But I have to go back to the palace today. The situation is urgent. Let the couplet know as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures. Look, I'm leaving soon..."
"Then don't say so much nonsense, it's a waste of time." Mrs. Tang lifted her clothes and sat on Xun Yu's lap, holding Xun Yu's face with both hands, with her eyes as charming as silk. "I got a strange book and wanted to discuss it with you. How are you okay?"
Xun Yu was so amused and crying. "Madam, what kind of book..."
Mrs. Tang leaned over, blocked Xun Yu's mouth with her hot lips, and said a vague title.
Shangshu Deck.
The emperor's feet were filled with wind and walked in quickly. Shangshu Wei Ji and others on duty quickly stood up to salute. The emperor looked around. "Have you not come yet?"
Wei Ji said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have not arrived yet, should I send someone to invite me?"
The emperor frowned and pondered for a moment. "Forget it, let me always be safe in doing things. Since the future is going on, there must be something delayed, and it is useless to urge me." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. He took two steps and turned back. "Do you have a younger brother named Zhongdao?"
"That's right, my younger brother Zhongdao has been dead for several years and has no chance to see Tianyan."
The emperor nodded. "If you can get married to the Chenliu Cai family, the Wei family in Hedong must have outstanding talents. Your calligraphy is exquisite and literary, so I must be handsome. Unfortunately, the weather is not far away. After the famous Wei family in Hedong, he passed on poetry and books. In addition to your brothers, there are any talents that can be introduced to me, and you can write a list."
"Yes!" Wei Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to thank him. The emperor nodded and said to other ministers: "The same is true for you. The court is the right time to employ people, but talents do not have to be restricted by the door. I will definitely promote them as appropriate."
"Only! Your Majesty is wise, and I respectfully receive the holy wishes." The ministers bowed one after another, and burst into tears of gratitude.
The emperor nodded, turned around and went out. As soon as he went down the steps, he saw Xun Yu walking from a distance, with wind rising under his feet. Two guards followed him, each carrying a bookcase in his hands. The emperor stood still and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Xun Yu saw the emperor standing at the door, and hurriedly rushed over a few steps and bowed to salute. The emperor smiled and said, "I have not returned yet, and I am full of spring breeze when I returned. Have you found any good books?"
Xun Yu's face was flushed and embarrassed. Seeing this, the emperor was puzzled and sniffed. "What's the smell? What did Lingjun do today? The body fragrance is so strong?"
Xun Yu remembered the scene in the study and felt ashamed. This was the most ridiculous thing he had ever done in his life. He was a little nervous but indescribable, just like he had wanted to do this for a long time but never dared to take this step. He came in a hurry and could not take a bath and clean again. Now the emperor smelled something strange and felt guilty. "Uh... I'm late, I ran a little anxious just now."
"Oh, that's right." The emperor frowned and did not ask again. "What's the matter? You used to go back to the palace before dinner. Today it's almost time for the middle of the year. I came to Shangshutai several times but didn't see you."
"Your Majesty has something to come to me?"
"Come with me." The emperor winked and signaled Xun Yu to follow him. Xun Yu hurriedly followed. The two left the Shangshutai and walked towards the bedroom. After walking a few steps, the emperor raised his head and glanced at the sight. Wang Yue, who followed, understood, slowed down, took a step back, and opened the distance. Shi A, who was walking in front, subconsciously accelerated his pace and rushed to the front. When Xun Yu saw that the emperor had something important to say, he hurriedly rushed to half a step, almost standing side by side with the emperor.
"Wei Ji has a younger brother, who is the ex-husband of Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan?"
"Yes."
"Why did Cai Yan leave the Wei family and return to Chenliu?"
"The husband died and there was no son."
"That's the reason?"
"It should be." Xun Yu asked, "Have Your Majesty heard something?"
"This is not. I just find it strange. With the Chenliu Cai family's portal, it was condescending to marry the Wei family in Hedong. How could it be reunited? Unfortunately, such a talent like Cai Yong and his daughter, who did not serve the court, but advocated the shaking of the flag for Sun Ce. Lingjun, have you ever read the "Shi Lun" written by Cai Yan?"
"Just received it, I read it in the afternoon."
"how?"
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, his voice was not loud, but every word was clear. "I thought it was deafening."
The emperor looked back at Xun Yu, and the corners of his mouth were raised habitually. He did not speak, and walked forward a few steps. Seeing the bedroom looking at him, he did not continue to move forward, but went to the secretary stand beside him. The house was brightly lit, and Liu Ye and Kong Rong were talking. Seeing the emperor and Xun Yu coming, they stood up to greet him. The emperor waved his hand and signaled them to take their seats. The emperor sat on the chairman, Kong Rong sat on the upper head, Xun Yu, and Liu Ye sat on the lower head. A secretary came over and put a copy of the article in front of Xun Yu, which was the "Shi Lun" that the emperor had just mentioned.
"We have no bookmarks, so we can only copy them. However, the printed version of this article will soon appear in Guanzhong. Let the king, the hearts of people are dangerous, the people are ignorant, and we cannot avoid being able to distinguish the purple and purple."
As the emperor said, he gave Xun Yu a wink and looked at Kong Rong again. Xun Yu understood. He had already expressed his attitude just now. The emperor said this clearly to remind him that Kong Rong had opposition and was very strong. Otherwise, the emperor would not wait for him to discuss matters in the middle of the night. When the "Shi Lun" was passed on to Chang'an, Kong Rong would definitely express his opinions, and his opinions would definitely be prohibited and would never be supported.
Xun Yu sat silently without saying a word. Seeing this, the emperor turned around to Kong Rong. "Young mansion is noble and respectful, why not talk about your opinion first?"
"Only!" Kong Rong refused to let go and said with a resentment: "I think this article is a rebellious and shameless person, and is simply a lewd and robbed. I know that I have never seen such a despicable article since I read. Cai Boyi's reputation will be ruined by his daughter and left a destruction in history. No matter how much energy he spends or writes more articles, he cannot cover up the shame brought by this article. I think this article should be strictly forbidden, and any readers dare to read it, and those who teach sinners to be regarded as famous..."
Xun Yu couldn't help laughing, Kong Rong was furious and looked cold. "What's your opinion? Why should you speak out?"
"I dare not take it for my opinion." Xun Yu put away his smile and bowed. "Dare you dare to ask the young mansion, have you read this article?"
"Of course I read it." Kong Rong immediately realized that his words were too extreme and inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Although I read the text, I did not follow the advice, and I was right to beat the drums and attack it."
"So, will the young mansion write a great article to condemn it?"
"certainly."
"Have you ever thought that there is a seal shop in Nanyang, and its text will be spread throughout Guanzhong in a few days, and the text can be seen in the well. How many people are going to send to copy articles to compete with them? Yu is planning for the Shaofu. Instead of condemning, it is better to write an essay immediately and arrange for people to copy a thousand copies and scatter to the pavilions of counties and townships. It is too late to be too late."
"You..." Kong Rong's face turned red, but he was speechless. Xun Yu was right. As soon as Nanyang's articles arrived, they could soon spread throughout Guanzhong. There was no way to resist banning. There was no time left for him to check the ban. If he wanted to fight a war, he didn't have much time left. However, it was easy for him to write articles, but it was not easy to copy a thousand times. Even if he assigned ten clerks to copy them, each of them would copy hundreds of articles, and it would be impossible to finish them in a few days. Of course, the time was tight and the task was heavy, and it was not enough to make him angry. What made him angry was Xun Yu's attitude. It can be seen that Xun Yu not only opposed his views, but also made him teased.
"What should I do according to the opinion of the Lord?"
Xun Yu waved his hand, Bao, who was standing outside, walked in, and put the bookcase in his hand in front of Xun Yu. Xun Yu opened the bookcase, took out a volume of articles, got up and put some in front of Kong Rong. The emperor spread out a volume and looked at it, twitched the corners of his mouth, took out another volume and looked at it for a few lines, put it down silently, bit his lips, and suppressed his smile.
Kong Rong opened a volume, and after reading a few sentences, he changed color. He picked up a volume and read it a little, threw the article on the ground, and his face was so angry that he looked pale. "What kind of mess is this? Is it that I have not arrived today, so I just went to collect these things?"
Xun Yu nodded. "Shaofu is right. I also think these articles are absurd. If you ignore them, these strange articles will cause harm to the people's hearts and the consequences will be unimaginable. But your knowledge is limited and you dare not argue. Shaofu's family has a lot of knowledge and is well-versed in the classics. One person can be the most important task of refuting these articles is not Shaofu but who else? The survival of rituals and music is only in Shaofu."
Kong Rong frowned, looked at Xun Yu for a moment, and then turned to Liu Ye. "These articles are spread in Guanzhong. Have you ever received any news from the Secretary-General?"
Liu Ye remained silent. "The secretary station was short of funds and insufficient staff, so he could only focus on collecting military and economic information, and had no spare time to pay attention to these rumors and non-verbal words on the streets and alleys. However, Ye agreed with Xun Lingjun's opinion. Such an important task cannot be taken by the Shaofu. Please ask the Shaofu to write an article to refute as soon as possible, so as not to shake the people's hearts."
Kong Rong sneered: "Who is responsible for the public opinion in Guanzhong? Who is the Sili Captain? Is he deaf or blind?"
"Sili College Commander Rong Shao, the Shaofu should have some impression. He was recommended by the Shaofu when he entered the officialdom."
