Ma Yunlu pulled Zhen Mi and joked: "It seems that you always think about your achievements, why are you afraid again when the opportunity comes?"

"I……"

"I can't bear to part with Your Majesty?"

Zhen Mi was very embarrassed and looked up at Ma Yunlu. Ma Yunlu squeezed his eyes. Zhen Mi suddenly realized and nodded quickly to express her agreement.

Liu Xie could see clearly, but did not say it out loud, but just chuckled.

"I will go to the Western Regions too." He paused and said, "Yunlu will go."

Zhen Mi looked at Liu Xie slightly and secretly, but was caught by Liu Xie, and was immediately embarrassed.

"Your Majesty...will you really go to the Western Regions?"

"As long as it is possible, I will definitely go." Liu Xie took Ma Yunlu's hand and held it in his palm. "This is what I promised you."

Ma Yunlu blushed and gently twitched his face, but failed to pull it out.

Zhen Mi's eyes flashed. "Your Majesty, isn't the Western Regions... a barbarian land?"

"The land is only divided into fertility and barrenness, and there is no difference between civilization and barbarians." Liu Xie said: "Even if it is a barren land, with people, there is civilization. Civilization itself has no distinction between high and low, and the difference is only in

The production capacity is just high or low. Those with advanced productivity may not be civilized people, or barbaric robbers.”

Zhen Mi felt a little dizzy when she heard it, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Ma Yunlu didn't want to ask, just listened quietly.

Liu Xie didn't want to explain either.

He really wanted to go to the Western Regions, beat up the ancestors of those robbers who regarded themselves as civilized people, and send them to the mountains to mine.

But the reform of the Central Plains has not been completed yet, so he cannot leave.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to make concessions to Yang Biao and others. If it is too easy to talk to, they will gain a rush, reforms will stagnate, and may even deform and take detours.

Although he is young and has plenty of time, he cannot just appease him.

He must let them understand that he is just willing to give them opportunities, not asking them for help, and cannot be at their mercy.

The initiative must be controlled in your hands.

Talent? With the support of printing technology, the most undesirable thing is talent.

Besides, who is only good at reading books of sages, has a kindness, righteousness and morality in his mouth, and is extremely honest in his body.

Faith must be put into practice to true faith, otherwise it will be a lie.

In contrast, he praised Li Ying, Fan Pang and others a little. Although he was a little extreme, he was willing to sacrifice his ideals.

What are the people who depend on Gongsun Du?

All of these people are sent overseas to let them die. Whether they can wake up and fight for a bloody path depends on their own fortune.

——

Yang Biao returned to his temporary police station, thought for a while, and sent someone to invite Xing Yong to inform him of the emperor's decision.

Xing Yong was very unwilling to accept it, and still felt that the punishment was too severe.

However, Yang Biao said that he agreed with this decision and believed that the Taiwei Mansion and the Sikong Mansion would not object.

Gongsun Du was just a prefect of Liaodong. It was like taking defiance to make a rebellious act. If the emperor did not punish him and was sent to Jiaozhou, the scholars in Yizhou would definitely feel that the court was weak and would be unscrupulous for those who had nothing to do.

The efforts of the officials in the heart of the ministers will inevitably affect the process of unification of the world.

To take a step back, those people rely on Gongsun Du, which shows that morality and knowledge are not worthy of your ability to run for them.

It is better to let them follow Liu Bei and Sun Ce to conquer overseas or stay in Liaodong than to imprison them for life.

After hearing this, Xing Yong didn't dare to say anything more.

The responsibility for influencing the unification of the world is too great and he cannot afford it.

Furthermore, the emperor limited the punishment to those who depended on Gongsun Du, rather than targeting all those who lived in Liaodong, which was also considered temperate. According to his understanding, those well-known great scholars such as Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others did not have Gongsun Du.

He should not be implicated in his pseudo-official position, and he did not need to insist too much and clash with the emperor.

"Duke Yang, will the emperor's move become a court system?"

Yang Biao pondered for a moment. "Zi'ang, the classics are still the most profound knowledge, but it is unlikely to be able to enter the officialdom by just understanding the classics. As for those who invite fame, they can't even think about it. Only by having both virtue and talent, knowledge and action are integrated

Those who are the pillars needed by the court.”

Xing Yong's face was a little hot.

He suspected that Yang Biao was tactfully criticizing him for being unrealistic, but Yang Biao did not say it out loud, and he couldn't make it easy for him to make things boring.

In a bad mood, Xing Yong stood up and said goodbye.

Looking at Xing Yong's dejected look, Yang Biao also sighed secretly.

He had already said it thoroughly. Whether Xing Yong—and those who have similar ideas with him—can understand and accept it, but he could not decide. This is a time of change, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be a large number of people.

Scholars are frustrated.

Just like the Confucian scholar of Lu that rejected Shusun Tong back then.

Times are changing, and Confucianism must also change, otherwise it will be eliminated.

Where is the next Dong Zhongshu?

Yang Biao thought for a long time and decided to write a letter to Kong Rong, Wang Lang and others to discuss this issue.

——

The handling plan for Liaodong was sent to Chang'an and the three government meetings.

As Yang Biao expected, the Grand Marshal Jia Xu had almost no hesitation, firmly supported the emperor, and emphasized the great significance of deterring Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Although Sikong Zhou Zhong had some ideas, he did not strongly oppose it.

After some details were added, the resolution was quickly passed.

After the signing, the handling plan was quickly sent back to Jizhou and made public in the form of a mansion report.

It seemed as if a huge rock was thrown into the water, quickly causing a shocking wave. The already debated Taixue was most affected. Almost everyone left behind the previous issue and began to discuss the possible impact of this treatment plan.

If relatives and friends are in Jiaozhou, those in Yizhou dare not neglect and immediately write a letter to ask those stranded relatives and friends to return to their hometown as soon as possible.

The emperor has pacified Liaodong, Sun Ce will soon turn to Jiaozhou, and Shi Sun Rui will also enter Yizhou. With the continuous victory on the battlefield, the emperor's confidence will become more and more severe and the punishment will become more and more severe.

If they don't come back, they may never come back.

Almost at the same time, Kong Rong, Wang Lang and others received letters from Yang Biao.

After understanding the game behind the edict, they all felt that the situation was serious and should not be underestimated.

The emperor personally took charge of Jizhou, forcing the fields to make the aristocratic families and the great families miserable, and also accumulated prestige among ordinary people. With the vigorous promotion of education, the emperor will have enough talents in less than three or five years.

If available, it will never be subject to the literati and officials again.

On the contrary, scholars and officials who stick to Confucian classics but do not have actual administrative abilities will be excluded from the official career.

Especially positions that require relevant professional abilities will be monopolized by students who graduate from the Zhutang.

If you don’t find a way, it will take ten years for Confucian scholars to lose their voice in counties. Twenty or thirty years later, the voices of Confucian scholars in the court will be weak and unheard.

It is the consensus of countless people that it is necessary to take action.

But how to act has caused huge differences.

Kong Ronglubu wrote a letter and suggested revising the "Chronicle of Emperor Xiaohuan".

His reason was that when Emperor Xiaohuan compiled the "Journal of Emperor Xiaohuan", Emperor Xiaoling ascended the throne and was underage, and the government was controlled by Cao Jie and others. The government was corrupted in this dynasty, which started with Emperor Xiaohuan's heavy use of eunuchs, and Cao Jie and others for their own interests

, which has many interferences in the writing of history, resulting in false records.

The emperor's system of dismissing the eunuch was a wise move and worthy of praise. Now that there is no restraint from eunuchs, it is necessary to revise the "Journal of Emperor Xiaohuan" to eliminate the false and preserve the truth, and to cultivate a reliable history.
