Chapter Seventy-Nine: Kong Wenju migrates to Liaozhou
Is power given by kings? If so, who gave the power of the king, is it the power of the king?
For many people, this is an inexplicable answer, but it does not include the scholars, since the Han Dynasty, the strength of the scholars has developed expansively, the former Qin world has not been stable, and the mainstream at that time in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the doctrine of each family.
Since the time of Emperor Wu, after Confucianism became dominant, various theories withdrew from the historical stage, and in exchange for the scholars, and by virtue of the disadvantages of the Great Han Dynasty, they accumulated strength little by little.
Later, Wang Mang rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu used the strength of the Shi clan to establish the Zhong Han Dynasty, and the Shi clan had already noticed that when the Shi clan was united, it was possible to rise and fall a dynasty.
In fact, this is in the doctrine of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the people of the country chase the king, and the people of a country have the power to expel the arrogant, lascivious, cruel and tyrannical king, or the people have the power to take back the power of the king.
That is to say, the power of the king is not given by heaven, but by the people, and the power of the king comes from each of the people, and the accurate definition of the people of the country at that time is the person who lives in the city, as opposed to the savage, and is not comparable to the slave.
These countrymen are basically equivalent to citizens in the substantive sense, citizens who enjoy all substantive power, and as for savages and slaves, there is naturally no need to calculate.
The same is true of the scholars of this era, if all the scholars approve, it is almost equivalent to the approval of all the people, the common people and servants are basically not counted, and the real elite is manipulating the Han Dynasty.
Although there are indeed some problems with the way this elite class got it, it is undeniable that in this era, if someone can be recognized by all the nobles, then the king can be deposed without pressure!
This is the reason why Dong Zhuo hesitated, offending the Han Emperor and offending the scholar clan must always choose one, unless he can raise a new force in the world, after all, the current situation is basically equivalent to eighty percent of the strength of the Shi clan and the royal family in the whole world, and eighty percent of the strength is enough to give any power in any era!
Although the Qingzhou Shi clan does not represent the Shi clan in the whole world, to a certain extent, it can be said to be one, because the Shi clan is a natural ally when their interests converge.
Qingzhou, Qufu, the ancestral land of the Confucian family, is called Lu County at this time, but the Confucian family is still used to calling it Qufu, although most of the Lu County is Kong's at this time, but it can't avoid the Han Dynasty, although Confucianism can't avoid Kong, but Confucianism is the Han Dynasty, although Kong has some status, but it is not so respectful.
At this time, there is also a King of Lu in Lu County, which is a lineage of the Han clan and has been inherited for a long time, and at this time, the Qingzhou scholars are discussing how to face the depraved plundering of the Yellow Turbans, although they all understand the reasons behind the Yellow Turbans, this is not a difficult secret, and it can be explored.
But no one dared to provoke the existence behind the Yellow Turban, so it could only be aimed at the Yellow Turban, or let that Dong Zhoumu come quickly, take over the conquest army, and be a substitute for them.
"We, Lee, agree." At this time, they were receiving a distinguished guest and were discussing countermeasures, after the distinguished guest slowly said some words, one of the people present suddenly said at this time, the Li family does not have too much to lose now, it doesn't matter, it was just a separation, where to go?
Shao Bing, who was ordered to come, looked at the patriarch of the Li clan at this time, but nodded slightly, this is not a simple promise, once this is answered, it means that the fate of the Li family for the next hundred years will be directly suppressed.
"The Kong family is willing to work together." Kong Rong's calm voice passed over at this time, "I also hope that you will think more." ”
This time, Shao Bing was ordered to come and brought a series of official positions, which were naturally the positions of the officials of the counties of Liaozhou, and the target was these Qingzhou scholars.
Kong Rong opened his mouth at this time, and the other scholars smiled and smiled, but they didn't say anything, after all, depending on the situation, the Kong family had no choice, this one didn't come alone, but came with a boat master and thousands of elite soldiers, the Kong family didn't agree, I'm afraid the Kong family would end here.
"The Kong family is willing to support His Highness wholeheartedly." At this time, Kong Rong continued, "The Kong family is also willing to donate their family education to communicate with Cai Hou. ”
Cai Hou is not the Cai Hou who made paper, but Cai Yong, who was given the title by Yang Yi because of his meritorious service in presiding over the Qianjin Book, is now also the honor of the liehous, and is under the command of Yang Yi, who is responsible for the book code.
Kong's refuge is nothing, and the other families are not strange, but Kong Rong's words at this time, can be said to be a stone to stir up a thousand waves, you must know that the classics printed by the eldest princess are hard-won, and the cost of each book is a thousand gold, because the previous books were exchanged for a thousand gold, and later the family in Jizhou and Youzhou was cleaned up fiercely, and gave a lot of sincerity in the hope of rubbing the family's classics, and gave away at least ten of the same books, and the result was full of sincerity The book exchange plan is only Liao Liao and a few are willing to cooperate.
The other scholars mostly responded with what everyone had, and even though they knew that the spread of the doctrine would be beneficial to them, they were reluctant to exchange their own texts for study.
It can be said that in addition to the current Kong family, most of the golden books that are now spreading the world in the Northern Regions are obtained by skill, and the rest are written down by Yang Yi in memory, and those scholars have no sincerity at all, and the books they get do not have much value for dissemination.
"Then I would be grateful, he spread the knowledge of Confucius all over the world, and future generations will definitely be very grateful for Kong Gong's decision today." Shao Bing said with a smile, he has been famous for Kong Rong for a long time, and he also knows that people in this era will not make any promises indiscriminately, and with Kong Rong's temperament and fame, it is basically impossible to talk nonsense!
Although this move did not seem to be beneficial to him, since he comprehended the spiritual wonder, he was also hungry for the collection of these scholars.
The study of the Confucian family, but the sect of Confucianism, and the Confucian family is not short-sighted, even if the internal chaos is chaotic, once a real person like Kong Rong makes a decision, the execution is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary families.
"Before, Wenju had sent people to the Northern Regions, and some friends who had settled down in the Northern Regions brought letters, understanding what this kind of life means, and also knowing how big His Highness's heart is, as for those classics, even if they are made public, it is nothing, and our Confucian family is not stingy."
"Hmph, aren't you afraid that someone will learn your family's classics and surpass you when the time comes?" At this moment, one of the present suddenly said this mockingly.
"Learning is successful, that is, the disciples of the Confucian family, the road of family learning is getting narrower and narrower, since we do not have the ability of the ancestors, then use the wisdom of everyone to make up for it, but all the descendants who learn my Confucian classics are naturally also my Confucian family, the Confucian family is prosperous, what joy do I have to do!" In Kong Rong's elegant temperament, this moment reveals infinite wisdom!
Kong Rong's fame is very great, the ability is also very strong, the Confucian family has always been very powerful, it is recognized as a powerful family, the core of their family is the ancestors passed down from generation to generation to refine the interpretation of the original Confucian doctrine, hundreds of years of interpretation, extended thoughts, these are the most important treasures of the Confucian family.
Confucius has been handed down to this day, Confucianism has continued to this day, and all Confucian people in the world are honored as the most holy teacher, and they will naturally not hide from Confucius for their doctrines.
This is the strength of those who can inherit the family with doctrine, such as the Xun family, if there is a family in the world is a combination of system and human nature, it must be the Xun family, the Confucian human morality and the Legalist rules and regulations are almost perfect combination, this is the core of this family from generation to generation.
This is also the goal of other families, the combination of system and human nature, the universality is very high, Xun's eight dragons, how powerful, this also represents how powerful Xun's family science is.
The Kong family not only has the study of the Xun family, but also the school of Confucianism, what this represents, Shao Bing is clear, Kong Rong is even clearer, and all the scholars here are also clear.
Kong Rong even took out this kind of thing to maintain the longevity of a family, which simply made the other families present feel incredible, this is not money, power, you can get it again if you don't have it, if you give this thing to others, others will have the same as you.
Although it is not easy to understand the study of knowledge, once anything spreads, no matter how harsh it is, as long as it is still within the scope of human understanding, it is almost a matter of time before it is thoroughly studied.
There may be few times in the world that there are so many holy and created a doctrine as hundreds of years ago, but on the basis of a doctrine, it is understood thoroughly and turned into its own thing, and this kind of character is present in every generation.
Shao Bing took a deep look at Kong Rong, he finally understood why the Kong family could continue forever, and the more comfortable it became, every generation has this kind of character, how could a family not prosper.
Kong Rong didn't care about Shao Bing's eyes, although Shao Bing's glance revealed a lot of information, but he knew better that Shao Bing would never refuse, with his realm, it was naturally easy to see through what Shao Bing had learned, and he also understood that this general from the Yellow Turban had a thirst for knowledge!
The name of General Shao is not a secret in the world's corporal clan, he was once a poor person in the Central Plains, and the Yellow Turban was coerced in chaos, and then entered the Tao with the Yellow Turban Taoism, and quickly transformed into a peerless general, with a more benevolent and righteous heart, and even he was once in the Central Plains, and the matter of burying the bones was dug up.
This information represents the information communication ability of the scholar clan, and this is also brought by the rise of the Han princess, because the previous information transmission relied on word of mouth, because paper and cloth are very expensive, and they are reluctant to use it for these simple messages.
That is, now, paper is much cheaper, and the strength of the scholar clan has been fully exerted, and in the past, word of mouth was inevitably biased, but now it will not, and even each family has begun to write biographies for those characters today.
Of course, Kong Rong is like this, naturally it is not purposeless, pure and not mixed with the slightest other support, this is basically impossible in the scholar clan, everyone has their own demands, and the Kong family does this, naturally they also want to get a better position.
Shao Bing understands a little, and some haven't figured it out yet, but he doesn't think much about it, he just smiles, he will do what he should do, and what the Kong family does will not be rewarded by him, and he will even alarm His Highness for the sake of the Liaozhou Governor.
Kong's support is like a beginning, one after another, the heads of the family are no longer reserved, and they all agree with Shao Bing's proposal, as they said before, for the tyranny of the Yellow Turban, their resistance is very weak, since Shao Bing has given a way out, let's go.
Regardless of how this life path came about, neither willing to walk nor willing to die, is it possible?
Shao Bing looked very patient and very benevolent, but everything is not endless, the scholars are not willing to use their lives to bet on whether the Yellow Turban will be so merciful, after all, this General Shao is also from the Yellow Turban, and what the Yellow Turban did, where it came from, everyone also knows it, before the attitude of the Northern Regions has not changed, it is better to be obedient!
"Only a dozen people left?" Shao Bing finally looked at the list of signatures and detainments, looked at the few vacant seats in the hall and said softly, with some surprise in his voice.
"I can see that General Shao is very surprised now." At this time, Kong Rong looked at Shao Bing and said, "So General Shao is not very confident in his plans and rhetoric, I wonder if we can break the contract now?" ”
"Kong Gong said and laughed, when did I not have confidence in myself, I just felt that there were too few left, and there were so many people left, after all, Liaozhou was just established, and it was not easy to divide if there were too many scholars." Saying that, Shao Bing took out the book from his sleeve and gave it directly to Kong Rong, the only Kong family master present who could subdue everyone in terms of intelligence, qualifications, and ability.
"What is this?" Kong Rong was talking at this time, while picking up the book and opening it, although Shao Bing did not make any moves towards him, he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, but after opening the book, he glanced at it and stood up in surprise.
"Is this true?" Kong Rong asked directly in surprise.
"Why should Kong Gong pretend to be surprised, there are also speculations in this regard compared to Kong Gong, His Royal Highness is also very generous, you can choose the records in this book, we have detailed information here, this is the compensation that His Royal Highness gives you, why, Kong Gong doesn't believe it?" Shao Bing looked at Kong Rong and said, what he took out was naturally a technical manual, just a catalog, any technology can be passed on to the family, so Kong Rong couldn't help but be surprised.
"I naturally believe in Your Highness, it's just that you dare to take out this kind of thing, it's not that I underestimate the general, it's just such a big thing, we have to be cautious." Kong Rong closed the book, calmed down his tone and said slowly, he had to be cautious about this kind of thing, for fear that this was a pit, a pit involving disputes under His Royal Highness in the Northern Regions!
The main reason is that Shao Bing's official position is too small, and he seems to have some fame, but he is only a general, and among the generals in the Northern Regions, he can't even be listed in the top five, how can such a person handle such a big thing?
