Three Kingdoms

The Little Glacier, or the "Great Cold Period", is a secret that is only known to a very small number of people in order to prevent panic problems. After all, it is not only the people of later generations who grab salt to protect themselves from radiation and then eat it for three years. . Therefore, most people under Fei Qian's rule just complained about the weather and continued to do what they originally did.

In Chang'an, the most popular place among the nobles and the most noble place was naturally the Qinglong Temple. I would subconsciously go there whenever I had time. And now, a new bookshop has opened in Qinglong Temple, and it is even more popular among the nobles.

Han people, in fact, many people are a bit talkative, because in the Han Dynasty, there were too few things for leisure and entertainment. If there was a little bit of different information, it would be publicized everywhere, especially these young people Some gentry children, in order to show their uniqueness, like to talk about things that others don't know, and this newly opened bookshop can obviously give these gentry children more advantages in this regard.

Because the books sold in the bookstore are all checked by Cai Yan and the female officials of Zhiyin Academy. These books proved to be the closest to the original works without many things that were intentionally or undoubtedly mixed in by later generations, and were naturally very popular among the children of the gentry.

Just like before, everyone was watching pirated copies and couldn't find the genuine ones, so the boss didn't laugh at the second ones. But now that genuine copies are available and they're not expensive, it's not commendable that people still engage in pirated copies. It even makes people wonder if there is something wrong with his character.

In the Han Dynasty, someone whose character was doubted was almost equivalent to being a useless person. Therefore, as soon as the Cai's Bookstore opened in Qinglong Temple, a large number of people gathered almost every time a new book arrived. Even if they already had this I would check every volume carefully to see if there were any discrepancies between my own collection of books and Cai's books, so as not to be laughed at.

Cai, or Cai Yan, can do this because she has a good father.

All good things are not as good as having a father. This is an eternal truth. Don't believe the nonsense about the starting line. The real starting line has been drawn at the moment of birth. Of course, acquired efforts will indeed change some, but when the original class is not overthrown, most of them are individual phenomena, just like a brave man defeating the dragon.

Cai Yong was a master of classics, history, poetry, and calligraphy, and he especially liked to collect books. At his peak, he was said to have collected more than 10,000 volumes. However, in history, most of his collection of books and his personal works were lost during the war. In the original history, Cai Yan stayed in exile for twelve years before being taken back by Cao Cao. He said that he had read 4,000 volumes of books in his family, but in the end, he could write down only more than 400 volumes.

But in the current time and space, because there is no such miserable experience, the power of the Royal Library of the Han Dynasty is slowly revealed.

Before the establishment of Zhiyin Academy, Cai Yan was already completing some of Cai's lost books. However, it was not very convenient to be in the academy at that time. It is different now. Strictly speaking, the female officials of Zhiyin Academy are all Cai Yan's subordinates, and the literary quality of these noble ladies is even higher than that of ordinary male nobles. After all, boys are more playful, and if a girl goes crazy, no one will dare unless she is a princess. marry...

Therefore, Cai Yan, with the help of several female officials who were proficient in writing and calligraphy, silently wrote many articles revised by Cai Yong or nearly a hundred articles written by him, including poems, rhymes, steles, edicts, inscriptions, praises, proverbs, Diao, discussion, congratulations, chapter list, secretary, etc., also corrected some scriptures with large discrepancies, which were almost engraved on stone tablets like Cai Yong did back then.

Sima Hui, an old fox, was naturally not to be outdone. For most of the books, he happily wrote "prefaces" to show that they were approved by Sima. Zheng Xuan was relatively reserved at first, but later he joined in and wrote a lot of "postscripts". He even rushed to write the "preface" while waiting for Cai Yan's new book to be edited by Zhiyin Academy...

Fei Qian didn't want to fight about this, because Fei Qian didn't intend to go too far on the road of being a literary scholar. It was enough to be able to maintain his current reputation. He felt that he should devote more energy to more... On a macro level.

Of course, in a broad sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of "literary rule".

"Don't you have any new books yet?" ” A son of a noble family walked through Cai’s Bookshop like a monkey, expressing his resentment for not adding, uh, new books.

"It will take a few more days...but, have you heard about it?" Your Majesty started talking about salt and iron in Yingchuan..."

"What? Salt and iron theory? 』

"Ahem, don't you know? Ah ha, what about that? I have something else to do..."

"Don't leave!" Speak clearly before leaving! 』

The guy who started the conversation immediately was caught, and he had to pretend that he was "forced". With "no choice", he started talking about the big talk about salt and iron in Xu County...

……(*≧∪≦)(?▽?)/……

Unlike Chang'an where Qiusi was located, Liu Xie's life was not so comfortable. But in life, people must pursue something after all. Everyone knows about Liu Xie's pursuit, but not everyone recognizes it.

Is it difficult to guess Liu Xie's thoughts?

Obviously not.

In fact, the idea of ​​the Salt and Iron Forum that Liu Xie wants to hold is not very good. Everyone in the court in Xu County can basically guess what Liu Xie wants to do...

Does Liu Xie really care about salt and iron? Are you planning to discuss salt and iron?

Just like, did Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty really care about salt and iron? Do you really want to discuss the pros and cons?

The few times Liu Xie appeared in public, they didn't seem to be very good. This time, it was a rare opportunity for Liu Xie to appear in a positive image. As for Liu Xie, he seemed to be forced to cry on the city wall by the "rebellion army" In this situation, the nobles can selectively ignore it.

The current salt and iron debate is somewhat the same as that of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, but also somewhat different. After all, the discussion of salt and iron back then was ostensibly a debate between court officials and virtuous scholars, but it was actually a compromise made by Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

This time, the Salt and Iron Discussion held by Liu Xie was still a compromise, but there was no debate, and it was more of a division.

During the Luoyang period, most formal court debates like this were held in the Deyang Palace. However, after the capital was moved to Xu County, the area of ​​the palace was naturally reduced a lot, although the main hall was also called "Deyang Palace" , but the size is much smaller, so I usually don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but now that there are more people invited, it feels cramped and crowded.

According to the rules, only officials with more than 2,000 dan are qualified to enter the main hall to meet the emperor. Generally, those with about 1,000 shi can only stand at the door of the main hall to speak. Those with less than 1,000 shi are not even qualified to touch the main hall door and can only stand. I replied on the stone steps outside the hall, but this time, there were too many people, so it became a semi-open style, and there were not so many strict standards.

Of course, Liu Xie believed that this meeting was very successful, at least many people came.

Before the Salt and Iron Conference began, it was natural for the representatives of the village elders to present gifts to the emperor, and the Shaofu Taiguan Ling, on behalf of the emperor, to give wine and food to the presenters.

The second step, which is also a very interesting step, is that county officials from various places submitted atlases, and there are also atlases about China and the North...

The area that Cao Cao can control naturally does not include Guanzhong, but the Han Dynasty is still a whole in name, and Liu's airs cannot be overturned, so he pretends to send someone to represent Guanzhong, which is a natural operation. In other words, Fei Qian was actually represented without even realizing it, and it must also be a traditional Chinese performing arts.

In fact, starting from Emperor Guangwu, emperors have often held debates similar to salt and iron debates, either on scriptures or on current affairs, but this was Liu Xie's first time, so he was a little nervous.

"In the early days of Xu Xia's career, he did not have a complete Ph.D., his writing style was slightly weakened, and it was difficult to debate the scriptures. Now that everything is settled, the world is gradually becoming more prosperous, and it is time to recruit outstanding talents from all over the world, to absorb the talents from all over the country, and to revitalize the country, so I have made this proposal..."

Although the words spoken at the beginning were all nonsense and lies, most people still listened respectfully, as if these words were true.

Is it really difficult to convene such a meeting because Xu County was first established and lacked a doctorate? Obviously not. Is it possible that the Han emperors in the past dynasties have stipulated how many people must be present during questioning and debate? Liu Xie wanted to do it before, but Cao Cao was unwilling to let him do it. As for why he was unwilling and now he is willing?

Haha, everyone actually knows that.

This is the compromise.

Just like the earliest Salt and Iron Theory, to put it simply, it was about the gentry and the court competing for interests, and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was willing to hold such a debate meeting. The original intention was already very obvious...

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was obviously much worse than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty encountered such a situation, he might not be able to find the word "compromise" even if he searched through the dictionary.

Yes, the first Salt and Iron Debate was actually a comprehensive compromise meeting.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Originally, the throne would never be his turn. He only needed to eat, drink and have fun. After all, in addition to the one who died early, he had four older brothers, so it was normal for him to He said that he only needed to be a happy seeder and he could live a peaceful life.

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was said to have been pregnant for "fourteen months" before giving birth. Haha, everyone originally treated his mother Zhao Jieyu's performance as a joke, and even called Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty "Gou Yizi". They didn't take him seriously at all. Player, otherwise there would not be such a title...

Then in the second year of Zhenghe, the famous witchcraft disaster occurred. Queen Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Zhi were framed by Su Wen, Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and others and could not understand themselves, so they launched an army and committed suicide after the defeat.

Then the drama of fighting for the throne started. Liu Dan, the third son of the emperor, was in a state of confusion. He was encouraged to submit a letter to become the prince. Naturally, he was slapped by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and hung on the wall. The fourth son of the emperor, Liu Xu, had long been abandoned and could no longer be an emperor. The fifth son of the emperor, Liu Kun, was born to Mrs. Li and was Li Guangli's nephew. Li Guangli and Prime Minister Liu Quya planned to make Liu Kun the crown prince, but the result was exposed. After the incident, Li Guangli surrendered to the Huns, Liu Quya was beheaded, and the fifth son of the emperor, Liu Kun, was killed. He died soon after...

Ever since, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty did nothing. With a bang, the throne fell in front of him in vain. Under such circumstances, the Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, in order to make his butt more stable, discussed with the court officials at the Salt and Iron Conference It is not surprising that the virtuous scholar and the virtuous scholar flirted with each other and jointly sold out the rules that his father had finally established.

After all, from ancient times to the present, I don’t feel bad if my son sells his father’s land.

From this perspective, the background of the witchcraft disaster may not be as simple as described in history books. Just like the background of the current Salt and Iron Discussion, it is not as pure as Liu Xie imagined.

In order to secure the throne, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty threw out salt and iron, and gathered the aristocratic nobles who had secretly supported the princes to worship at his feet again. However, it also opened Pandora's box, causing the nobles to gradually become landlords. , local separatism...

Liu Xie threw out Yantie again, not because of any new policy changes in Yantie, nor because Liu Xie was really thinking about serving the country and the people. In addition to stabilizing his own position, it also included Liu Xie. Xie Xie's little plan to overcome Cao Cao's obstruction and win some people under his command...

I wonder which box will be opened in this salt and iron discussion?

Even if Liu Xie knows how to open boxes, Liu Xie can't control this desire. After all, he feels that he is really "alone". If this continues, he may really become a cold man. If people’s hearts are lost, can they still carry the team? Liu Xie needs popularity, needs to gather people's hearts, and needs to show that he is still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Xie compromised. He could betray his name and identity. He even knew clearly that this meeting would basically point the finger at Piao. Riding, but he also has to do this, to integrate the people of Jizhou and Yuzhou for Cao Cao, and at the same time make some small moves of his own.

Because if Liu Xie didn't do something for Cao Cao, Cao Cao would definitely not agree to convene it. Although Cao Cao did not attend, he only asked Cao Pi to attend. There seemed to be some metaphors in the secret, such as "child's play", but agreeing to Liu Xie's convening actually showed an attitude and a compromise.

Cao Cao is currently experiencing constant internal disputes, and the conflicts between Jizhou and Yuzhou are also very sharp, so Cao Cao also needs a harmonious atmosphere, at least to transform some of it, so even if Cao Cao knows in his heart that Liu Xie wants to use the Salt and Iron Conference to do something, But Cao Cao also admitted it.

Therefore, it is normal for people to go off topic while talking about salt and iron.

For example, to refute the "Qinglong Temple Theory" written by the Hussars General...

Originally, Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty were divided into two schools, ancient and modern, but now the general Fei Qian put forward a slogan of "seeking truth and seeking truth", which suddenly caught both ancient and modern schools off guard, especially in Jizhou and Yuzhou. The gangsters, they had no way to influence the Hussars, and they couldn't find any place to speak out for a while. Just when they were jumping up and down anxiously, Liu Xie stepped forward, so even if they were discussing salt and iron, it would not hinder the discussion. Talking about other things, it should at least become a theoretical commanding height against General Hussars.

"The laws of our ancestors are the legacy of the saints..."

"How can you enter the elegant hall if you are a deviant?"

"It is definitely not the behavior of a gentleman to gain profits from the people..."

"Proclaiming the Dharma at the right time is the most important thing at the moment..."

"A clown cannot last forever..."

Almost everyone talked about current affairs, and then suddenly realized that after Guangwu, Jizhou and Yuzhou once again had common thoughts and similar foundations, and their goodwill towards each other suddenly increased.

Soga, it turns out that everyone’s goals can be the same!

Therefore, under the leadership of the great and wise emperor Liu Xie, with the help of officials loyal to the country such as Cao Cao and Xun Yu, and with the support of the vast number of people in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the salt and iron debate was temporarily abandoned. After the dispute, a limited consensus was reached, which pointed out the direction for the four years of Taihan Taixing and its future development...

Emperor Liu Xie was very happy. Because he finally got a chance to play a positive role, and successfully expressed his willingness to absorb more "talents" in front of the elders of Jizhou and Yuzhou Township, and work together for the great cause of the rise and rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty. He only compromised "a little bit", but now he has moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage! This is a small step for Liu Xie, but a giant step for Han!

Liu Xie smiled, even if he wanted to laugh, he still managed to maintain the dignified image of the emperor.

Cao Cao, well, the Cao Cao clan and the Xiahou clan represented by Cao Pi were also happy. Seeing the increasingly tense disputes between Jizhou and Yuzhou, it seems that we can put it down for the time being and unanimously fight against the red devil, uh, the three-color hussar, can we not be happy? Although Liu Xie was given the lead, the power of the court was still in his hands, and after overcoming the current difficulties, wouldn't it be possible to deal with it how to deal with it?

Cao Pi smiled like a fool, but his little eyes kept moving around.

The representatives of the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou were naturally happy. They successfully demonstrated their strength. Although it still required some effort, the emperor Liu Xie and the Cao family and the Xiahou family understood one truth. They could not do without the support of the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou. Without the support of the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the Han Dynasty Can it be done? Can Cao do it? Therefore, the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou are no longer one or two separate families, but a whole group of interests, and they can legitimately fight for the interests of the gentry! So they are happy too.

The elders of the gentry township in Jizhou and Yuzhou laughed and flattered each other, saying "you are good, I am good, everyone is good."

After going around, it seems that everyone only needs to compromise a little bit to gain a lot of happiness...

The atmosphere inside and outside Deyang Hall was peaceful, with laughter and laughter everywhere.

Such a happy atmosphere is undoubtedly rare. Even the guards in the palace who are on guard outside can't help but look at each other and become a little happy.

The guards standing in the square outside Deyang Palace seemed to feel somewhat relaxed in their hearts. After all, their job was to protect the Emperor Liu Xie, but they had to violate this duty under certain circumstances...

Not everyone has the psychological quality to do Infernal Affairs. So when the imperial guards heard that everyone in Deyang Palace seemed so happy, some people thought that maybe there would be less bullshit in the future? Maybe I won’t have to be so embarrassed in the future?

While these guards were thinking about their better life in the future, suddenly an inexplicable strong wind swept over, causing sand and rocks to fly in the square, and even almost blew their helmets off, and suddenly tore off the flags above their heads. Gotta be straight!

Perhaps the ropes holding the Han banners were worn out and had not been replaced in time, or the sudden strong wind suddenly caused too much force and could not bear it. One of the flags actually snapped and the ropes snapped, and then they watched helplessly. The flag with a big "Chinese" character written on it floated away with a "whoosh" in the strong wind...
