Chapter 33 The Eunuch
Now all the scholars who hold the power of public opinion in the world stand on the side of the ancient literature school, and regard the people of the modern literature school as lackeys of the imperial power and as eunuchs and relatives in the foreign country!
So, this scripture is a bit sad!
But the old surnames in Nanyang stood on the side of the Confucianism of the People’s Republic of China, which had huge differences from today’s mainstream academics!
Because after Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu established the country, he advocated Confucianism. The noble families who used force to help Liu Xiu conquer the world responded to the call and transformed into Confucian scholars.
However, the problem is that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu advocated the Confucianism of the Modern Literature. The original noble families, such as the Deng family, Yin family, Fan family, Li family in Nanyang, etc., all learned Confucianism of the Modern Literature.
This also makes the Confucian classics an official orthodox Confucian classics...
However, folk ancient classics have developed more and more violently, and even during the reign of Emperor Zhang, the Han people forced to emphasize both the present and the past. But in fact, ancient classics have developed more and more vigorously, so that they have occupied almost the mainstream now.
And places like Yingchuan, Runan are the base camps of ancient classics. The local gentry also advocate ancient classics.
As we all know, a simple dispute over interests can still sit down and talk. However, if the dispute over interests involves ideological disputes, it may be the only way to die.
Nowadays, ancient Chinese classics have flourished. The gentry and Confucian scholars who advocate ancient Chinese classics occupy the court. Where can they give people who are currently studying classics room for development?
It’s no wonder that the old surnames in Nanyang have been unable to stand up since the fall of the country.
Don’t feel wronged and unfair. When the old surname in Nanyang was in power, it was not too much suppressed by ancient Chinese classics!
Therefore, in this case, the old surnames in Nanyang chose to form an alliance with eunuchs, which was normal!
Of course, the eunuchs are not considered one party now... The old surnames in Nanyang can only be said to have an alliance with Zhang Rang.
For example, there is Yin!
However, it is not nice to talk about forming a clique with eunuchs, so a young lady like Yin Linzi is not very clear about the matter.
On the contrary, Zheng Xiaoming is very clear about the joints...
There is no need to hide it from Zheng Xiaoming... Otherwise, Zheng Xiaoming would have no idea what he would have and would have hit Nanyang and would not be able to tell who was against whom he was friends. Then he might be sold and he would have to help him count the money!
Zheng Xiaoming naturally would not say such a thing to Yin Linzi. The two said a few more words. In the end, Zheng Xiaoming took more than a dozen personal soldiers and rode his horse towards Luoyang.
Nanyang is not too far from Luoyang, but it is only more than 400 miles away. Not to mention that it is close, it is at least adjacent to Luoyang.
Along the way, I passed by some famous places, such as Bowang, Fangcheng, Ye County and other places. By the way, there is a more famous name in Ye County called Kunyang... That's right, the great magician Liu Xiu summoned meteorites and defeated Wang Mang's 400,000 troops. This is the battle in Kunyang!
Not far from Kunyang, he stepped into the jurisdiction of the Sili School Command. The so-called Sili School Command is probably equivalent to the geographical concept of Zhili in later generations, and belongs to the core area outside Luoyang.
From Wancheng to Luoyang, all the way from Wancheng, it was the most densely populated place in this era, with the most complete farmland infrastructure and the richest and most prosperous place.
As I saw along the way, there were farmlands and roads crisscrossing. Inherited from the tradition of the pre-Qin and Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the construction of official roads, so the official road was built very wide and flat.
However, because the war has just been experienced, the land of Nanyang seems somewhat depressed.
However, the Sili land was promptly arrested by the Luoyang Qu general Ma Yuanyi, which led to no major turmoil in Luoyang. Although it was threatened by the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and other places, it was still safe, so it seemed as prosperous as before.
Only when I entered Luoyang, the passing Dagu Pass proved that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not been around for a long time.
Because the eight passes of Luoyang, including the Ogu Pass, were all set up by the Emperor Liu Hong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year.
At this time, you can still see a large number of troops stationed, but obviously they are being laid off one after another... There is no way, who made the Eastern Han Dynasty not have a standing army?
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoming shook his head slightly, disagreed in his heart, and said to himself: "Just just wiped out the Yellow Turban, I thought I could enter the warehouse with swords and guns, and my horse was released to the Nanshan Mountain!
There are many hidden dangers in this world. If it cannot be solved, I am afraid that the days of war will be in the future..."
Although he did not know this history, after all, he came from a branch of the long river of time and space at the other end, and there was a big difference from this history of time and space in the pre-Qin era.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see how many hidden dangers and troubles there are in the Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is just an outbreak of contradictions!
Of course, if the king is wise and the ministers are wise, or if a new emperor is in power, he works hard to govern and ease the conflict, he might be able to save the situation.
However, the current emperor Liu Hong is a selfish person who is almost the same as Jiajing. Don’t count on him!
What's more, the emperor's various actions since he pacified the Yellow Turban last year can be said to be a rebellious act.
Many meritorious ministers who have pacified the Yellow Turbans cannot receive rewards, and even have to spend money to sell their officials... If you do such a thing, don’t expect someone to help you work hard after something happens in the future!
So Zheng Xiaoming always felt that standing with the eunuch who was dependent on the imperial power was very dangerous!
Unfortunately, the same thing is true, the problem of the butt is unacceptable!
Who made Zheng always rely on Yin? He is now the son-in-law of Yin. Naturally, he could only follow Yin and go all the way to the darkness!
What's more, even if Zheng Xiaoming wants to betray the Yin family and surrender to the scholars... I'm sorry! I'm afraid they won't accept you.
There is nothing else, your surname is not Zhao!
The Han family mainly relies on recommendations to select people from the people such as filial piety, integrity, virtuous, upright, military, etc.
However, the public opinion hegemony of evaluating people is almost monopolized by those gentry. If you are not a gentry, you will naturally not get good reviews. Without good reviews, you will not be elected to be an official...
Therefore, the imperial examination system is definitely a major progress! No matter how many disadvantages the imperial examination system has, it at least provides a platform where everyone can compete in the same field!
Well, it seems to be a little farther away!
In short, after passing Dagu Pass, Zheng Xiaoming reached the territory of Yin in Henan, which was considered to have reached the imperial city.
At this moment, I suddenly saw more than a dozen luxury cars parked on the edge of the avenue. When I saw this kind of scene, I knew that there was a noble man here.
