Liu Xie leaned against the window edge, his eyes shining through the pane, looking at the venue downstairs.

Before we knew it, the spacious hall was full of people, and many people were crowded together, whispering and talking.

Pan Jun, who attacked Wang Can, was not in the hall, but under the corridor. He was not tall, but he did have a bit of military demeanor, or rather, a bit of domineering spirit.

The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River belong to Jingzhou, but are often regarded as barbarians by the three counties in the north of the Yangtze River, especially Nanyang. The people of Nanyang are slightly better. The Lingling and Wuling have many mountains and strong people, especially this.

Pan Jun's aggressiveness in front of him is more likely to remind people of the domineering people of Jiangnan, but in Liu Xie's view, this is a kind of vitality.

No wonder Pan Jun later became a famous general in Sun Wu.

Of course, this also reminded him of another question: developing Jiangnan is by no means easy.

If the scholars in Jiangnan cannot be settled first, it will be difficult to achieve in-depth control of Jiangnan, let alone development.

Maybe this time we should take advantage of Liu Ba to participate in the two government affairs and discuss this issue.

Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu from the corner of his eyes.

He knew that Liu Ba cooperated with Xun Yu when he first entered the officialdom, but later Liu Ba went to Guanzhong to serve as the Grand Corps and separated from Xun Yu. Judging from the performance of the two, it is hard to say whether they are still the same as before now. Like-minded.

Liu Ba himself has a strong habit of a famous scholar.

In the hall, Wang Can smiled loudly. "Chengming, you are a bit exaggerated. Although Lantai has many books, it is not as huge as ten thousand volumes. Lantai collects books for the emperor, and not all books are qualified to be collected. We Today, I recommend the book here to select works that are worth reading, appreciation, and resourceful for governance. If Chengming has high opinions, he might as well say bluntly. If it is just a dispute over intention and a joke, there is no need to say more. , It’s not too late to talk to the banquet later.”

Liu Xie's lips curled lightly.

Wang Can hides needles in cotton, using attack as defense, and it seems that recent research on Western learning has been quite beneficial.

A large part of ancient Greek philosophy advocated by the West is to make a living for debate, such as logic.

There is actually no difference between East and West when it comes to being a joke. If there is a difference, it may be that Eastern people are deeply influenced by Confucianism and it is difficult for them to break out of the Five Confucian classics. They have the limitation of painting the ground as a prison. Westerners are simpler, and their arguments are more , the argument is closer to nature.

Of course, there are similar scholars in the East, such as "Mozi" and the recently popular "Lunheng", which are different from the simple debate within Confucianism, and pay more attention to natural phenomena.

Cai Yong was one of the early scholars to study "Lunheng". Wang Can was not only his disciple and his collection of books, but probably put a lot of effort into this.

As expected, although Pan Jun came in a fierce manner, he was resolved by Wang Can's move with softness to overcome hardness, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

However, he did not give up, and then said: "In the opinion of the history, what kind of articles and works are considered valuable? What is the standard for being able to govern? Does the Five Classics count?"

"The Five Classics are counted naturally." Wang Can's voice showed a little unhappiness.

Liu Xie was also a little unhappy. He had already guessed what Pan Jun was going to say. He turned to look at Xun Yu and raised his lips gently. "Jun Xun, the person who raised the banner of etiquette and law is here."

Xun Yu didn't say anything, but his heart was a little complicated.

Song Zhong was a great scholar in Jingzhou, and he was well-versed in the five classics, and ritual studies were no exception. Liu Biao promoted his studies in Jingzhou, mainly relying on Song Zhong and Qi Wukai. Since Pan Jun was a disciple of Song Zhong, he must have good knowledge.

However, Song Zhong had a conflict with the emperor because of the portrait of the previous prefect, and Wang Can stood on the side of the emperor with a clear attitude. Pan Jun attacked at this time, and some personal grudges were somewhat likely to cause the emperor's displeasure, which may not be the best. candidate.

Listening to the emperor's tone, you will know that the emperor is already alert.

It’s just that others are upstairs and can’t go down to stop them, so I can only listen.

As expected, Pan Jun immediately recommended the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" written by Song Zhong and Liu Biao, and stated that this book was printed by the queen using private funds. It was exquisitely printed and loved by scholars, so it should be ranked first.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere upstairs and downstairs was a little nervous, and countless eyes looked at Wang Can.

This "Five Classics Chapters" involves three people: Empress, Song Zhong, and Liu Biao.

If it is not necessarily the first place, it will not be good to the queen.

If it is set first, not only Song Zhong has face, but Liu Biao has face too.

In fact, everyone knows that although the emperor has designated Liu Biao's posthumous title, it only starts from the overall situation, and does not mean that the emperor himself has a good impression of Liu Biao. When he was in Nanyang County, he criticized the book, believing that the chapters and sentences are not urgent and are not suitable. Too much respect.

If the first book recommendation meeting would be compiled by Liu Biao and listed the book that was criticized by the emperor as the first book recommendation meeting, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

Someone said something in the corner, but he was just vague and could only feel that his tone was not very good.

Liu Xie stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find who it was.

"Have Jun Xun read this book?" Liu Xie withdrew his gaze and asked softly.

"I read it." Xun Yu did not hide it. "As soon as the book was printed, Song Zhong sent someone to give me a set."

“What is the evaluation?”

Xun Yu pondered for a moment. "Just as far as knowledge is concerned, he is still very skillful. If he was in a peaceful era, Liu Biao was also a great scholar. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and failed to fully demonstrate his talents."

Liu Xie laughed silently and did not ask questions.

Xun Yu's attitude was very tactful, but he was also very determined. It would be boring to ask again.

Downstairs, Wang Can was also silent for a moment and spoke slowly. "Since it is a book recommendation club, Cheng Ming naturally has the power to recommend books. As for whether it can be ranked first, it is not Cheng Ming's word to decide. , and write down the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences"."

Someone stepped forward, held a pen, and planned to write down the title of the book "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" on the prepared whiteboard.

Pan Jun stepped forward, took the pen from the man's hand, wrote six straight words, then put down the pen, looked at Wang Can, and returned to his seat calmly.

"Good calligraphy." Someone shouted.

It was just that few people agreed, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Liu Xie took a look from a distance and thought that Pan Jun's calligraphy was good and strong.

"Pan Jun is the first to win the lead and has the advantage everywhere. It is indeed prepared." Xun Wenqian whispered: "Wang Can is in a dilemma. If he cannot deal with it properly, the Lantai Lingshi will have to replace him."

Liu Xie smiled. "What, do you think Wang Can will be defeated?"

"Your Majesty think he can still win?"

Liu Xie crossed his hands, put them in front of his abdomen, leaned slightly, and leaned into Xun Wenqian's ear and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

Xun Wenqian looked at Xun Yu next to her with some guilt.

Xun Yu didn't move, as if he hadn't heard it.

Xun Wenqian whispered: "What does Your Majesty want to bet?"

"If the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" are ranked first after everyone's review, I will go to the Western Regions after the beginning of spring next year and never return to the Central Plains."

Xun Wenqian was shocked and did not dare to accept Liu Xie's invitation.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't joke."

Liu Xie smiled, but there was no smile in his tone.

"Mr. Xun, this is not a joke. If this book becomes the champion, the education in recent years will be a failure, and there is no need to persist. It is better to change the method and start over." He paused.

, and said again: "Anyway, I'm still young, it's not a few years away."

Xun Yu shook his hand and half a cup of tea sprinkled on his chest.

Finally, please ask for a monthly ticket, don’t waste any more!
