Chapter 10 Heading south to the Lujiang River
In June, Hongnong, Sanfu borer disaster. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In August, the Son of Heaven ordered those who suffered disasters in the county to reduce the land rent by half, and they should not be held responsible for the injuries caused by more than 14 years.
These days, Liu Bei has lived a troubled and fulfilling life. After he put forward the new theory of Gewu, there was a lot of discussion in the academic circles in Youzhou, some agreed, some were disrespectful, and more were disdainful. But after Lu Zhi announced the letter from himself and his friend Zheng Xuan to everyone, everyone stopped talking for a while. Seeing that Zheng Xuan, who was famous all over the world, also praised Liu Bei's thinking views in the letter, Zhu Confucianism turned to support Gewu.
Without him, Zheng Xuan's reputation is too great. Let's talk about Zheng Xuan. The Zheng family is a big family in the North Sea, but it has declined by his father's generation. But Zheng Xuan, who is a scholar and a family heirloom, still received a good education. When he was a teenager, he had already shown the characteristics of a scholar, and when everyone was still playing with mud at the age of eleven or twelve, Zheng Xuan had already recited the Five Classics.
The next few decades will be a history of study by Zheng Xuan, a scholar. He became famous at a young age, regarded as a prodigy, and has been studying hard at home until he was eighteen years old, and the family is really difficult. So he had to go out and become a petty official, a husband. What is Sifu? The Qin and Han dynasties had an official system, and there was a pavilion ten miles below the county, and the pavilion had a pavilion chief. Ten pavilions are a township, and there are three elders, smickers, and wanderers in the township. The three elders are in charge of education; Wander often and forbid thieves; The husband hears the lawsuit and collects the tax. The power is still quite large, equivalent to the presidents of the courts and the procuratorate and the director of the tax bureau in later generations.
But Zheng Xuan, but he is a scholar in history, he is not happy to be an official, and his father is angry, and he can't ban it. Later, Zheng Xuan met the famous scholar Du Mi and was able to enter Taixue for further study. He successively apprenticed to the fifth Yuanxian, Zhang Gongzu and Chen Qiu. He also traveled to study in You, And, Yan, Henan and other places, visited famous Confucians and scholars, and discussed knowledge together. It is estimated that he met Lu Zhi during this time. More than ten years later, Xueba is already an invincible opponent in Shandong. Shandong in the Han Dynasty was different from Shandong in later generations. That refers to Hangu Pass, east of Taihang Mountain. How big a place is, you can look for a map.
According to history, Zheng Xuan did not ask questions in Shandong, but entered Xiguan. Through the relationship of his friend Lu Zhi, he worshiped the door of the great Confucian Ma Rong in Guanzhong. When he returned from school, Ma Rong said to the doorman: "Zheng Sheng is going today, I am going to the east!" ”
When Zheng Xuan left Ma Rong, he was almost forty years old. I guess if it weren't for his old age and need him to support him, he wouldn't have left for a while. Such a studious person is rare in ancient and modern times, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to call him a scholar.
Zheng Xuan is also worthy of the title of Xueba, and in the later years, he devoted himself to the scriptures, taught thousands of apprentices, and created Zheng Xue. In the end, he became a dazzling generation of grandmasters in the history of Confucianism in the Middle Kingdom. Of course, the current Zheng Xuan is squatting at home, in the first year of Jianning, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to all states and counties, ordering all party members and their protégés, relatives and friends, and those who are appointed officials, to be dismissed from office and imprisoned. Zheng Xuan was also classified as a party member because of Du Mi's relationship and was imprisoned and not allowed to go out. However, it may also be in line with Zheng Xuan's intentions, so he taught apprentices while farming at home, enjoying himself.
Zheng Xuan worshiped under Ma Rong because of Lu Zhi's relationship, and it is said that he is Lu Zhi's junior brother, but Zheng Xuan is much older than Lu Zhi. Therefore, Lu Zhi has always regarded him as a brother. Liu Bei and others have always called him a teacher. Although Zheng Xuan was imprisoned, Lu Zhi had a deep relationship with him and kept writing endlessly. I accepted a proud disciple Liu Bei, so naturally I want to show off and let my friends know that although I have few apprentices, I still have a lot of money.
Zheng Xuan is a pragmatic, open-minded and reasonable scholar, he pursues continuous progress in academic knowledge, and naturally will not object to someone challenging his authority. In the letter, I saw Lu Zhi's new theory of Liu Bei, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was very reasonable, and I couldn't help but be very interested. If it weren't for the lack of skills, I was afraid that I would have moved to Youzhou. However, he had already begun to discuss it with his younger brothers when he was ordaining.
Liu Bei didn't know that his remarks had begun to sprout elsewhere. These days, under the personal teaching of Lu Zhi, he began to recite the scriptures. He actually wanted to tell his mentor Lu Zhi that he was not here. But every time I saw Lu Zhi's eager gaze, I couldn't say anything to my mouth.
These days, his fellow disciples are also "Gewu" everywhere, and many interesting things have happened. Lu Min even hugged "On Balance" and vowed to understand the clouds, rain, snow, thunder and lightning inside. Because Wang Chong put forward his own opinion, but there is a lack of actual and reliable data to prove his point. In fact, our ancestors were very wise. They have put forward their own unique insights on a series of natural phenomena, and these insights are very scientific. Phenomena such as how to avoid lightning and triboelectric electrodus have been recorded, but unfortunately they have not been studied in depth. Otherwise, it would not have been the turn of the West to invent generators and electric lights. This is gossip, so I won't mention it for now.
And so the days passed. In the winter of October, the Son of Heaven ordered the world to be imprisoned for unsolved crimes and to be redeemed. This shows that there is chaos and darkness in politics at this time. The meaning of this order is that those who have not yet been tried or executed should pay silk silk to atone for their sins. This is also another means for the Son of Heaven to collect money in addition to selling officials.
At this time, Liu Bei probably figured out why Lu Zhi resigned and didn't do it. In March of this year, when he began to study the Stone Scripture, Lu Zhi wrote: "The minister and the young man received ancient learning from the Taishou Ma Rong of the Southern County of Tongconfucianism, and he knew that the "Book of Rites" was very redundant. In front of the minister, he used the scriptures of "Zhou Li" to initiate a fallacy, dared to be foolish, and explained it, but his family was lacking and he was unable to write it. I hope that the two scholars will be able to study together, concentrate on the study of official wealth and food, combine the chapters and sentences of the "Book of Rites", examine the gains and losses of the "Book of Rites", adjudicate the holy scriptures, and publish the inscriptions. The ancient liberal arts and sciences are close to the truth, and they are disgusted with the customs, and they are descended in elementary school. Since Zhongxing, Tongru Dashi Bangu, Jia Kui, Zheng Xing and his son, and Dun Yuezhi. Today, "Mao's Poems", "Zuo Chuan", and "Zhou Li" have their own biographies, which are in the same phase as "Spring and Autumn". ”
Lu Zhi put forward his own academic requirements, wanting the emperor to allocate funds to send him to study knowledge, and also wanted to set up his works as inscriptions. As a result, the emperor ignored him, and then just happened to be rebelled in Jiujiang, so he worshiped him as the Taishou of Jiujiang and sent Lu Zhi to rebel. Out of sight and out of mind, he doesn't have to worry about it all day long. After coming back from the counterinsurgency, it is estimated that Lu Zhi was not very happy, he didn't want to be a doctor of scripture, and you couldn't meet such a small request of the emperor, so he resigned from office not long after. After Liu Bei figured it out, he couldn't help but smile secretly, his own teacher is also quite characterful.
On this day, Liu Bei discussed with Zhu Tongmen the phenomenon of sinking or floating when all things enter the water, and after putting forward the two concepts of buoyancy and mass, he returned to Lu Mansion with everyone. From a distance, I saw the middle door of Lu's mansion wide open, and when I got closer, I saw that the teacher Lu Zhi was bowing to the messenger of the Son of Heaven. After the messenger of the Son of Heaven left, everyone knew that Lujiang had rebelled, and the emperor because Lu Zhi had rebelled in Jiujiang, and Jiujiang was next to Lujiang, and Lu Zhi was more proficient, so he sent Lu Zhi to be the Taishou of Lujiang, so that he could immediately prepare to go south to quell the rebellion.
Lu Zhi gathered everyone and said: "The Son of Heaven worships me as the Taishou of Lujiang, and he will go south to quell the rebellion in the near future." If you want to continue your studies, I can go to Brother Kang Cheng and let Brother Kang Cheng take you as an apprentice. ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they retreated, what are you kidding, I just came to borrow your old fame to gild, and it is okay to have this signboard under Lu Zhimen, but I didn't think about leaving Youzhou to go to Zheng Xuanna. Besides, Zheng Kangcheng is a member of the party, and he will not be imprisoned for life, so I will worship him again, will I be an official in the future? Everyone spoke out one by one, with all kinds of excuses, and politely declined Lu Zhi's kindness.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart: A group of rat-eyed people, do they really think that the disaster of the party can ban the senior brother for a lifetime? Looking at Liu Bei again, seeing that his beloved disciple was also hesitant, he couldn't help but be discouraged, and was about to start talking and then dial Liu Bei, when he saw Liu Bei stand up, bow to himself, and said with a resolute face: "The teacher has something, and the disciple obeys it." The kid is willing to be the teacher's pawn and follow the teacher south to quell the rebellion! ”
Lu Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, but then he was greatly overjoyed, the risk of worshipping under his senior brother Zheng Xuanmen was much smaller than the risk of going south with him to quell the rebellion. Although Lu Zhi of Lujiang did not take it seriously, the climate in the south is different from that in the north, humid and full of miasma, and one careless person will lose his life. It's hard for Liu Bei to respect his teacher so much at such a young age. At the moment, he gently persuaded: "Wulang, the military is dangerous, you are too young to travel long distances, and you will go with me to Master Kangcheng to continue your studies, okay?" ”
Liu Bei raised his head and said loudly: "Master, what is the matter with reading the book of sages?" Report to the king, and go down to Anlishu, so that you can live up to the ambition of a man! This time, I went south with the teacher and served the teacher and the king as I liked, so I beg the teacher's permission! After speaking, he bowed his head.
Lu Zhi knew that Liu Bei was an assertive person, and since he had decided, it was difficult to change it. I had to allow him, but my heart was very happy. I don't expect Liu Bei to do anything with him to go south, but Liu Bei's intentions. Especially compared with the performance of the disciples, it is even more valuable to Liu Bei. Before, everyone used all kinds of excuses to shirk, and the impression in Lu Zhi's heart was very bad. Not to mention serving the teacher, I kindly recommended you to go to study with your senior brother, but I shirked it in every possible way, which shows the status of the teacher in your heart. In fact, everyone shirked it, and Lu Zhi might not blame it, but with the comparison, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei at this time, and felt very kind. Human nature is nothing more than that.
At this time, Lu Zhi really accepted Liu Bei, and regarded him as a nephew and nephew in his heart, with the same status as Lu Min.
At this time, only a few people had not spoken. Gongsun Zhan came out and bowed to the ground, and said: "I don't want to go south with my master, and my master also knows that his disciple's mind is not in academics, but in Liaodong." This year's Xianbei is a great disaster for the borderlands. Lujiang barbarians, small scabies, the master can be determined. The disciple wants to return to Liaodong to join the army, fight against Xianbei, and rest in addition to death! "He's always done that throughout history!
Lu Zhi nodded lightly, he knew Gongsun Zhan's situation in his chest, and he didn't allow it. Xu Ziping and Zhang Xuanzi bowed to the ground, and implored Lu Zhi to take the two of them south, willing to worship under the master and uncle, and continue their interrupted studies. But Liu Ke said in a humble voice: "My family said that I will go wherever the fifth brother goes, Master, I am also willing to go south with you!" ”
Lu Zhiwan smiled, Liu Ke was sparsely educated, but it was rare to be upright and cute. In the past, he was also deeply fond of him. Liu Ke, a stupid boy, wanted to follow his fifth brother, so he let Liu Bei decide whether to let him go or not.
Everything was decided, and Lu Zhi waved his hand and let everyone disperse.
