Chapter 497: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty
Mrs. Liu called Liu Bei to her side, smiled and took a shirt from the couch, and said, "My son is back, come and try to see if this shirt is suitable." ”
Liu Bei took the dress, looking at the dense needle and thread on the clothes, his eyes were red, his mother would sew clothes for him every year, and now he is already well-dressed, and it is no exception. Liu Bei agreed, and immediately went out to change, and then came to see him again. The mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Mrs. Liu had a lot to say, and after chattering for a long time, Liu Bei sat next to her and just listened quietly. Until Lu Heng came to call for dinner.
At night, there is no tenderness. It's hard to put into words.
On the second day, Liu Bei, after bathing and changing clothes, went to court. When the general goes out on an expedition, he naturally wants to return to the king after the class. In the past, when Liu Bei came back from Youzhou to see the Son of Heaven, he was crossed by the warriors in front of the palace with a halberd, and he swore that he would not change this habit and would never enter the court. This time there was no such thing.
The Son of Heaven is high in the palace, and His Royal Highness's Taifu, the three dukes and the civil and military officials are all there. No matter what the previous court officials thought about Liu Bei, now they are only full of joy. Since coming to Qingzhou, the territory that the imperial court can control has become larger and larger. Seeing that after this battle, Yuan Shao's fall was imminent, and most of Jizhou had already arrived. Yang Biao: How are they unhappy?
After more than ten years of turmoil, the eunuch group has been wiped out, and the group of foreign relatives has been weakened to an incomprehensible extent. After the world is unified and the four seas are cleared, Liu Bei will inevitably return to power. At that time, it will be their warriors who have the final say!
Since the disaster of the party, many of the corporal and heroic people in the world have been separated from the Han court, which is also an important reason why after the Yellow Turban was swept away, all the heroes rose together.
But the disaster of the party, to put it bluntly, is just the intensification of the power struggle within the Han court. Putting all the blame on the emperor, eunuchs, and relatives is also a kind of historical nihilism. The scholars always accused the eunuchs of causing trouble to the place and disrupting the government. But it is not the eunuchs who are the most powerful in the place, but the local scholars, the heroes, and the scholars who collude with the eunuchs. I think the eunuchs are also very aggrieved, why can you scholars encroach on the fields, sell illicit salt, etc., but our family can't?
The two disasters of the party ended in a crushing defeat for the scholars. However, it also provoked a popular uprising because of this, and eventually caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Maybe it's the killing and disorder that has been experienced in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Some scholars came to their senses and felt that although they were arguing and suppressing before, they could still get by. It's not a special offense, and the safety of this life can still be guaranteed. And now that the eunuchs who have brought disaster to the world are dead, then he must stand up and assist the king to correct the world. There are also some scholars who have received inexplicable benefits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but after holding the power, they are unwilling to hand it over. Thinking of the Son of Heaven in his heart, the strong soldiers and strong horses do it. Instead of suffering Liu Hantianzi's anger again, it is better to do it yourself. This kind of person is the princes from all walks of life represented by the Yuan family.
The Son of Heaven saw Liu Bei and said with a smile: "The general works hard for the country, and he returns the victory, and I should set up a banquet to congratulate the general!" ”
Liu Bei listened and bowed to the Son of Heaven: "How dare the minister take credit." Fortunately, His Majesty is also blessed. ”
Yang Biao stood still and said to the Son of Heaven: "Hanxing is hopeful, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty and the general!" ”
The Son of Heaven laughed. Liu Beijieqiao fought a battle, and Yuan Shao fled, and he was really happy in his heart. Yuan Shao first set up his imperial brother, and now he set up his imperial nephew, and he also wanted to vote for Yuan Shao when he returned to the east, but he was rejected by him. The Son of Heaven is not a real sage, how can he not complain in his heart. Now that he has been beaten by his own general and is about to be defeated, let alone this joy.
After the banquet of the monarchs and ministers, the deliberations began. Liu Bei Bingzheng, although he was on the expedition, his internal affairs were firmly controlled by the shogunate such as Changshi Xunyu.
Liu Bei didn't care too much, he just had to firmly grasp the military, financial and personnel powers, and then continue to implement his new policy in an orderly manner. Of course, in order to balance and appease, as his territory continued to expand, he also appointed many officials recommended by hundreds of officials in the court.
The so-called New Deal is nothing more than these articles.
The first is to grant land, the government will collect a large amount of unclaimed land as official ownership, in addition to rewarding meritorious soldiers and as a hundred officials and Lu Tian, it will also be leased to the people for free farming; It also encourages the private sector to open up wasteland. The land obtained from the reclamation shall be registered as the owner of the reclamation; All fields shall be subject to a tax of thirty and one.
The second is exemption, in terms of free money, free money, and providing businessmen with the same treatment as civilians, Baiguan has also argued with Liu Bei many times. In the end, Liu Bei won. After all, it is Liu Bei who mints new money now, and the imperial court, from the Son of Heaven to the hundred officials, has to rely on Liu Bei's support. Anyway, the money is Liu Bei's, so the officials are too lazy to fight for it. Of course, they still agree with the policy of encouraging childbearing and respecting the elderly. feels that Liu Bei is worthy of being Zheng Xuan's personal inheritance and famous disciple.
The most important thing is education. Since Yang Biao came to Qingzhou, he has been seeking to re-establish Taixue. Yang Biao wants to establish Taixue, and Liu Bei does not allow it. However, he asked Yang Biao to implement the system of Qingzhou Academy in Taixue. The two broke up unhappily because of this.
Liu Bei also stayed in Taixue. He knew very well what Taixue was like now. In his opinion, if you enter Taixue, then study hard and don't make some other fame. At that time, the atmosphere of scholars was to have a good name and prestige. Of course, this is also due to the need for the recommendation system. In this way, the students flaunt each other and trust each other. As a result, they form a party to seek advancement, lead the same kind, and confuse right and wrong. The students are promoting their reputations, asking each other questions, judging the ministers, and ruling at their discretion. So what else is there to read? And those who can get into the world are all elites in the world, and each has a family behind them. As a result, it disturbed the black smoke miasma in Luoyang at that time, and also caused many avoidable adverse events.
He had intended to use the imperial examination system to gradually replace the examination system, so he naturally wanted to vigorously promote the system of Qingzhou Academy that he founded in Taixue. But in Yang Biao's opinion, Liu Bei had bad intentions. If everyone participates in the imperial examination, then what do they need these families to do? The family used Confucianism to pass on their family prestige to gain political status and social fame. But it is not certain which generation will not have outstanding children, and at this time other families will need to take care of them. If you take care of me this time, I can take care of you next time. Recommend each other. But if you abandon the examination and use the imperial examination, everyone relies on real ability. Then the result is really hard to say. And after the imperial examination system became popular, all the officials were from Liu Bei's subordinates, what did he want to do?
