Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Is Qin Mi's Confucianism strong?

That's necessary. This man is a speechless talent who can refute Zhang Wen in debate. He was a famous bachelor in Shu when he was young. He was talented and his family was very powerful.

After Liu Xianzhu took control of Yizhou, he was considered one of the local factions who were willing to cooperate. However, he later offended Liu Bei and was imprisoned for a period of time.

But even so, Qin Mi was still one of the few native Yizhou supporters who supported the Northern Expedition. After Zhuge Liang came to power, he was highly regarded, and now he has just succeeded Fei Yi as the governor of Yizhou.

Therefore, although Qin Mi was not one of the Jingzhou faction, he was the best candidate for Ma Su's next plan.

The right to interpret the classics in this era was very important, because each major family had different annotations, resulting in the inconsistent meaning of the four books and five classics. Although Ma Di has solved the problem of making and transcribing the book, the unification of Confucian classics has not yet been settled.

Now Qin Mi came to the door by himself, just in time to pull this man into the chariot.

So this is how Ma Di described his plan to Qin Mi.

There are punctuations in this era, but they are all cited in private annotations and cannot be used on the big stage. And Ma Su plans to report to Your Majesty that from now on all the Four Books and Five Classics printed by Taixue will be segmented according to Qin Mi's annotations.

The annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics are all based on Qin Mi's interpretation, and are only for reference by others. In this way, the power of interpretation of the Four Books and Five Classics was unified through the rigid requirements of the imperial court.

From then on, everyone in the world must read according to the annotations given by the imperial court. The classics that every student studies are all the classics that Qin Mi annotated.

In the original history, this measure was not completed until the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, compared to now, the study of classics was more complicated, and it was more difficult to distinguish who was true. However, under the rigid requirements of the court bureaucracy, the annotations of Confucian classics were forcibly unified in the end.

The power of interpretation of Confucian classics was firmly controlled by the imperial court, which made the final preparations for expanding the scope of education. From now on, not only can the number of people receiving education be increased, but also subjects can be elected based on the annotations.

The foundation for the imperial examination was thus laid.

However, Ma Su obviously did not want to wait another three or four hundred years, but directly copied the wisdom of future generations.

I believe in the wisdom of future generations, they will definitely be able to come up with better achievements to make up for it. As for this great achievement, I, Ma Su, will feel aggrieved and suffer the hardships of Qin Mi. I, Ma Su, will be responsible for the reputation.

After hearing Ma Su's plan, Qin Mi's breathing became a little heavier, and his eyes became a little more fanatical.

He did not doubt the authenticity of Ma Su's words and whether he could succeed. With Ma Su's current status and reputation, even if everyone in Taixue objects, Ma Su can still enforce it.

This is equivalent to forcibly pushing Qin Mi to the position of the first person in contemporary Confucianism. Qin Mi will definitely be mentioned in history books in the future!

It is everyone's dream to leave a name in history, and Qin Mi is no exception. Under Ma Su's words, Qin Mi was shamefully tempted.

"What do I need to do?" Qin Mi's Adam's apple moved and he asked after swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Make a detailed record of all the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics. I can implement them immediately after I sort out the new fonts and printing."

"Okay! I'll go back and work it out overnight!" Qin Mi stood up without saying a word, preparing to go home and start writing down all his Confucian annotations in detail overnight. His movements were so fast that Ma Su didn't even stop him, as if he was afraid that Ma Su would regret it.

"Zi Chi, don't be so anxious. No matter what, we have to wait until the end of the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong!" Ma Su shouted quickly, but Qin Mi moved so fast that he didn't seem to hear him.

"That's all, at least the problem of the annotation of the classics has been solved. As long as Chang'an is captured, a series of plans from selecting talents to promoting education should be launched."

Whether it is promoting education, large-scale book production, or even unifying the annotations of classics, the court needs to invest a lot of resources. However, now is the critical moment of the Northern Expedition, and it is obvious that there is no resources or time to carry out this.

So Ma Su's plan from the beginning was to do all this together after taking Chang'an. Relying on the Three Prosperities of the Han Dynasty and returning the reputation of the old capital to suppress those dissatisfied Confucian masters.

Of course, during this period, it was obvious that countless Confucian families would hate him, the person who ruined their jobs. But Ma Su didn't take it seriously, or he was very happy to do it.

If you have the ability to kill me, I, Ma Su, promise to stand here and let you kill me!

On the Shu Han side, Ma Su was taking advantage of the little free time he had to start trouble in Chengdu. Sima Yi's situation in Chang'an was not very good.

Maybe I can’t say it’s not very good, I should say it’s very bad!

"Will the Shu army stop retreating after they retreat to Fufeng County?" Sima Yi looked at the scout and asked calmly.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, it is indeed the case. The Shu army stopped retreating when it reached Fufeng County. Judging from the posture, it seems that they planned to use Fufeng County as the front line..."

"So, the next time the Shu army will leave Sichuan is not far away." Sima Yi nodded gently, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.

Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Fei Yao, Sun Li, Hu Zun and others stood on both sides with different expressions. Most of the people's expressions were extremely solemn, and they were unsure of the upcoming battle.

Ma Di, who was the most capable fighter last time, didn't come. With only Zhuge Liang bringing more than 30,000 people, they had no choice but to hold on to the pass. Now the Shu army is about to use all its main force. When the Shu Han family goes into battle, can their own side be able to stop it?

At least in the eyes of Guo Huai, Chen Tai and the others, there was no chance at all. Chen Tai even made a suggestion, hoping to prepare to abandon Guanzhong and retreat to Tongguan with the main force.

Ma Su thought that Nanyang could withstand the attack of 200,000 Kwantung Wei troops with tens of thousands of people. Now with only the troops in Guanzhong and the unhazardous Guanzhong Plain, if they withdraw too late, they are likely to be blocked in Guanzhong.

This suggestion was supported by many northwest generals, but was rejected by the iron-blooded hawk Sima Yi.

"What did your majesty say? Is there any support?" Sima Yi looked at his son Sima Shi and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty is very worried about this and has already issued an edict to send troops to reinforce Guanzhong." Master Sima nodded, but his expression was a bit hesitant.

"However, due to the huge military pressure on Yingchuan, Luoyang Yin said that the central government also needed troops to defend. So in the end, only the clan uncle Sima Fu led 20,000 troops from Tongguan for reinforcements."

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the whole room, and everyone fell silent.

Twenty thousand people...this small number of troops would be a drop in the bucket in the subsequent battle of hundreds of thousands of people. With just such a small amount of reinforcements, how could Guanzhong be able to defend it?
