Master Sima Ji has always been a dragon who sees the beginning but not the end, and often takes his disciples and boys to travel around the world.

Liu Che ascended the throne many times and sent envoys to find this giant of the Han family's god stick world.

Of course, it's just for show.

Sima Jizhu is one of the few people in the world who really doesn't want to be an official.

During the reign of Taizong, he repeatedly conquered Sima Jizhu.

But people just want to live their lives freely, and they don't want to wade into the troubled waters of politics.

Therefore, all the rites were rejected.

But the appearance still has to be done.

Tricks such as 'Corporal Lixian' and 'Thirsty for Talent' are the high-sounding appearances of Mengyuan and Manchu Qing in later generations.

Therefore, after Liu Che ascended the throne, he sent envoys as usual to recruit those well-known celebrities of various factions in the world, and naturally, Sima Ji was also among them.

The price code is also very high.

All of them are treated with a thousand stones or even two thousand stones.

It's just a position, all of them are doctors...... (This was invented by Liu Che, compared with before, the doctor's official position has become hierarchical, with three levels, such as 800 stones, 1,000 stones, and 2,000 stones)

Contrary to the imagination of later generations, in the early days of the Han Dynasty, the recruitment of celebrities and scholars generally did not directly appoint officials with real power.

At the beginning, Lu Houyan invited the world-famous celebrity 'Shangshan Sihao' to escort Liu Ying's crown prince, and the price given was only the so-called completion of Lu Zekeqing......

Recruiting celebrities, it is still Taizong who really gives the establishment and status.

But that's just a doctor.

Although the position is relatively high.

But there is no real power at all.

The emperor was pleased or interested. Go to the bus office or summon the doctors to accompany them, and talk about the scriptures.

Besides. The doctors and officials want to meddle in the government and influence the political situation. It's almost impossible.

Open the history books, before the little pig, there is no one who can really convert fame into power.

Even Zhang Hui, a legalist magnate who educated such a capable minister as Chao Cuo, once had two generations of Chu kings, four Jiuqing, and two thousand stone and dozens of Fuqiu Gong, and he never held any official position because of his reputation.

Most. It's that the rulers will respect them very much.

But want real power?

No need to talk!

Liu Che thinks this policy is very good.

Those who are in retreat, those who are engaged in theory, go to retreat, and engage in theory!

To run out and become an official is to harm others and yourself.

Of course, if you really want to be an official, it's not impossible.

You have to be willing to start from the grassroots level, Liu Che raised his hands to welcome.

It's just that it's not possible.

It turns out. Liu Che's reforms were very successful.

Many giants who were 'unwilling to bend their waists for five buckets of rice' in the past fell under the sugar-coated cannonballs of Dr. 2,000 stone this time, and obediently followed the envoy to Chang'an, serving as a doctoral officer ranging from 1,000 stone to 2,000 stone.

Although they soon found out. Except for the change in level, everything is the same, even the Chang Dynasty. None of them can participate, they can only brush up on their presence in the Shuowang Dynasty.

The closed-door meeting of the Yamen of Jiuqing and the scholars of the Shaofu Lantai. didn't even greet them with the results and the content of the discussion.

But. Literati, that's it, it's good to be satisfied with your face.

Many people are happy with the title of 2,000 stones. I was even more happy about the color of my ribbon and official seal.

Of course, in line with the principle of maximizing the use of resources, Liu Che has recently begun to mobilize among the doctors, encouraging them to serve as sacrificial wine and bishops in the soon-to-be-established Taixue and Dahan Royal Academies to educate young students.

The effect is not bad.

It's just that there are always some outliers in the world or people who are really indifferent to fame and fortune.

Sima Ji is one of them.

Although Liu Che directly offered the price of 2,000 stones of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing and the Tao Te Ching, he was still not a bird.

Well, if you don't bird, you don't bird it.

Liu Che didn't pay attention to it at that time.

But after Xu Cheng's matter was investigated by Liu Che, Liu Che began to pay attention to the role of Sima Jizhu.

Because Liu Che found that the religious world or the god stick world of the Han family was more chaotic and disorderly than he imagined.

Although in his previous life, Liu Che had heard a joke.

The joke goes like this.

Once, the emperor (little pig) opened a party, summoned all the celebrities in Chang'an City at that time, and asked these gods, what about the concubine one day?

The Five Elements said, yes.

Kanyu believes that there is something wrong with that day, and it is recommended to change the day.

The people who built the house said that this day was not auspicious.

Cong Chen's family thought it was a big murderer.

The Li family said weakly that there were some petty murders on this day.

The celestial people think it is quite auspicious.

The Tai family is trying to support this day. (Note)

In other words, faced with the same problem, the gods can type out their brains.

Even several factions that share the same belief in auspiciousness and bad luck have completely different attitudes and positions from each other.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, Xiuyiwei's investigation found that the chaos in the entire religious world was more disorderly than he imagined.

And the further development of the social economy, the disputes between different factions, and even began to use force.

It's very common to smash each other's yards.

In order to snatch customers and the right to speak, various factions often even stage violent smashing and even physical destruction.

This is simply an unacceptable thing for Liu Che.

He came from 2,000 years later, when even the reincarnation of a living Buddha needed the approval of the people's government.

The gods, accepting the management of the government, engaging in designated activities in designated places, are natural things in Liu Che's opinion.

Although the conditions are not yet possible.

However, it is not in Liu Che's interests to let the gods fool around in such an unorganized and aimless manner.

The emperor himself is a combination of politics and religion, and is ordered by heaven to manage all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, immortals, demons, and ghosts.

Except for the ethereal God, all other existences must obey the imperial power.

Therefore, recently, Liu Che has stepped up his efforts to find Sima Jizhu and invite Lihuan.

It is hoped that with the help of the fame and prestige of Lord Sima Ji, the current miasma of the Divine Stick Realm will be integrated.

At least there can be no more embarrassing situation in which various factions talk to themselves and contradict each other.

It's just that it's still a little difficult to get Sima Ji to obey his orders obediently.

Back then, Jia Yi was sprayed with saliva by this person, and he was even more 'suddenly self-defeating, colorless, and unable to speak' can only 'get up in his clothes, and say goodbye' from now on.

It can be seen that Sima Jizhu, without a price that is enough to make him excited, he will not be willing to take the bait obediently.

Moreover, this price code has nothing to do with the level of official position and status.

Lord Sima Ji himself also said, 'Qiji is not with the donkey, the phoenix is not with the birds, and the sage is not with the unscrupulous'.

In his opinion, he disdains to be in the company of a group of flies.

Even if you give him a relationship, you won't be happy!

Fortunately, there is really such an ideal world in the Han family.

Directly under the management of the imperial family, directly obeying the emperor's orders, not being interfered with by foreign dynasties, and will not intersect with the scholars and bureaucrats of foreign dynasties.

Coincidentally, Taishi Ling Yamen is currently in charge of Ma Qian's father of Taishi Company.

Whether it is the style of study or the atmosphere, it is very in line with the requirements of Sima Jizhu, all of whom are indifferent to fame and fortune and immersed in the ocean of history and classics.

Therefore, Liu Che took out the position of Taishi Lingcheng to tempt Sima Jizhu.

Lest he refuse, Liu Che deliberately asked the envoy to bring a sentence: I want to rebuild the calendar, clearly calculate the heavens, earth and stars, compare the set of his actions, and test the track second. Compile the "Almanac" as the "Book of Heavenly Officials" and "Feng Zen Book", in order to carry on the unique learning of the past saints, open a new way for the future generations, hear the public when the day of the world, the wise spread the world, I have a good appearance, please ask the public, corroborate the major events, the next day, the next day, the next century, the legacy of ten thousand years, the public and other responsibilities! (Note 2)

Almanac, recalculate the changes of the years, months and days and the four seasons, this is not only a major event in the academic and scientific circles, but also a major event in the religious and divine stick circles, involving the Taoist system and the right to speak, as for the book of heavenly officials, just look at the name, it is about focusing on the name of the immortal gods and the changes of the stars, as for the book of Feng Zen, it is to recount and record the three generations, the son of heaven Taishan Feng Zen and the 'sky' response and reward for his Zen sealing behavior, it is a remarkable thing.

With this price, Liu Che doesn't believe it, can Sima Jizhu still sit still?

No matter how indifferent you are to fame and fortune, and disdain to be an official, you have to obediently contribute to my great cause! (To be continued......)

PS: Note 1: This story comes from Mr. Chu's own account, that is, the sequel of the historical record told a thing he saw with his own eyes in the text he continued to write, which should be regarded as a waifan or PS.

It's really funny, but it reflects the chaos and disorder in the early and middle Western Han Dynasty.

The ending of this story is that the parties disputed, the mediation was ineffective, and the lawsuit went directly to Emperor Wu, and in the end, Emperor Wu personally ended the court and made a ruling: avoid death and jealousy, and end the dispute with five elements.

But it also caused the Five Elements to sit big.

Now, we can hardly see the theories of several other gods who fought in the ring with the Five Elements at that time.

But if you can wrestle with the Five Elements Theory, even if it is a strong word, I think, there are some dry goods.

Note 2: Taishi Gong said in the preface of Taishi Gong why he wrote the "Book of Heavenly Officials", and the reasons given are "compare the set to discuss his actions, and test it in the orbit degree", which shows that in the Han Dynasty, the orbit has become common knowledge in astronomy.
