Wang Pu is no longer with him. Now hundreds of students are entering various colleges to study. They study not with a kind of reverence, but with a kind of resentment.
Some time ago, Zhang Mai¡¯s admiration for the sages and philosophers made them feel extremely uncomfortable! Although many experiences in the jungle of Kucha College have broadened their horizons, deep down in the hearts of the students, how can Zhu Hu¡¯s miscellaneous knowledge be compared with the fine and extensive knowledge of China?
Although there are some Chinese sages in the academic jungle of Qiuci, Laozi, Mozi, and Xuanzang are all just miscellaneous sects in the eyes of Confucian scholars, not the right path. Qihuang is just a legend, and Ge Hong is even less popular. mesa! The dignified Confucian sages and sages have no status at all here! But Zhang Mai's prestige prevented them from expressing their dissatisfaction. Besides, when it comes to various practical learnings, the current Confucianism does have problems. Forget about studying objects and chemistry, if your knowledge within the scope of the Six Arts is also compared to others, then you really can't defend yourself.
Wang Pu and some student leaders had bumped into each other countless times, and felt that this incident was not trivial. Judging from Zhang Mai's current admiration for the jungle of Kucha College and the outline of "Practical Learning" he promulgated, it was possible that Promote this system of Kucha Jungle as the "orthodoxy" of knowledge! What's even more frightening is that Zhang Mai not only admires it himself, but also instills these concepts into the prince and princess! This is to cultivate this awareness in the next generation! This is not a matter of changing the status quo of one family, but an authentic academic tradition that affects generations to come!
Therefore, Wang Pu and others were deeply vigilant and felt that they had to fight back. While they wrote letters to convey the major events happening here to the scholars in the Central Plains, they also tried their best to reverse Zhang Mai's tendency. After discussion, Wang Pu and others felt that since Zhang Mai thought these practical knowledge were useful, it was very simple, as long as he understood all these knowledge, then surpassed them and defeated them.
So the two hundred students mobilized spontaneously like chicken blood and dispersed to various colleges to study knowledge in various directions.
have to say. In this era, Chinese intellectuals are definitely ranked first in the world in terms of IQ, literacy, and knowledge reserves, even during the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. It¡¯s okay if you haven¡¯t heard of the knowledge from outside the region. Once you hear about it and study it further, there is no doubt that you will surpass the masters and philosophers of the original country. When Xuanzang went west to India, he claimed to be learning Buddhist scriptures. In fact, after he traveled around India and transferred to Yiduo division, he found that there was no opponent for him in the whole of India. So much so that when he set up a "Beheading Debate Conference" in India, no one dared to challenge him!
Among the hundreds of students who came this time, they may not be as talented as Xuanzang, but their IQs and overall qualities are quite high. Students from Guanxi are just that. Shandong, Hebei, and Henan are places where the seeds of reading are often produced. place. In addition, most of them had actually been exposed to the outline of practical learning when they were in the Central Plains, and their mentality changed at this time. Once you put your effort into it, the progress will be very different.
China¡¯s science and technology has been developed since ancient times. The shortcomings are, firstly, the lack of a systematic scientific system, and secondly, since the Han Dynasty, there has been a tendency to despise instrumental disciplines and it has become more and more intense. The most difficult thing about creating a systematic scientific system is that it is the result of thousands of years of accumulation rather than It can be started by one or two geniuses, but if there is a system, it will be easy to learn with the foundation of these students. Now that the two hundred scholars were stimulated and devoted themselves to studying various subjects, the teachers of various subjects in Kucha suddenly felt even more stressed.
The principles left by Archimedes are only a dozen essences. Although the laws of things summarized by Zhang Mai are mysterious, they are not too complicated. The dialectics of the Greeks may not be able to surpass those of the Warring States Period. Indian logic was not completely unfamiliar to Chinese scholars after Xuanzang, so everyone studied it and quickly gained insights. Only the knowledge of the seminary, especially the teachings of monotheistic religions, could not be accepted by the students no matter what. , so no one is willing to study it sincerely. Even if someone studies it, all they think about is how to "break it".
Zhang Mai pretended not to know what the students were doing and discussed military and state affairs with Xue Fu. He took out the secret letter and said, "There are people in Yanjing and Liaoyang Prefecture who are ready to make a move."
Qiuci is thousands of miles away from the east, and the news Zhang Mai received was not immediate. At this time, he did not know that Yang Dingguo was ill, nor did he know the recent situation in Liaoyang Mansion.
Xue Fu said: "Among the Liao people who fell into our hands, only Marshal Han Deshu made some effort to install nails. As for the others, such as Xiao Miansi, Xiao Han, and Li Hu, they were all sent back without installing nails. . The marshal did this, but do you expect these people to cause some trouble when they go back?"
Zhang Mai said: "I'm not a god. How can I think so far ahead? It's just that these people can't pose a threat to us if they are released. What's more, they have different political opinions. They will only cause chaos when they return to the country. Now it seems that the situation is worse than expected." China is more optimistic??¡±
He paused and asked again: "Where is Guo Luo?"
Xue Fu said: "We have arrived at Shule."
Zhang Mai said: "Very good."
After Xue Fu went out, Zhang Mai knocked on the table and murmured: "Aluo came without any excuse. It shows that he has not changed his mind about me. It is enough that the other side of the river can be stable for at least one generation."
Liaoyang Mansion knew about what happened in Yanjing faster than Zhang Mai.
Although the Tang and Liao countries were in a state of hostility, Zhang Mai never intended to impose an economic blockade on Liaodong, and Yuguan of the Liao State was under the control of the Sinicization faction and acquiesced in the existence of private smuggling teams. Between Tang and Liao, bulk goods were mainly transported by sea, but sea transport was seasonal, and constant smuggling was carried out through private smuggling between Luanzhou and Yuguan, which was tacitly approved by both parties. Likewise, the intelligence exchanges between Tang and Liao were also in this way.
It was only a few counties from Yanjing to Luanzhou. After crossing Yuguan, there was a relay of fast horses to deliver the news to Liaoyang Prefecture. The news of Yang Dingguo's illness was so important that it became known to the whole world in a few days. In less than ten days, At this time, even the Liaoyang Mansion knew that the position of spokesman for the Tang State was now vacant, and all the important officials in Yanjing were planning to compete for it.
Han Yanhui and his son were surprised when they heard the news, while the Khitans celebrated with their foreheads and hands. Seeing that as soon as Zhang Mai visited the west, the chaos in Yanjing started one after another. The more chaos the Tang Dynasty had, the happier they were, especially Shu Luping. What I was worried about at first seems like it¡¯s time to do it now.
On this day, news came from the class that he had basically completed the control of the troops and horses in Yuguan and Liaonan. Due to the concession of the southern generals, things went quite smoothly.
After Shu Luping found out, he held another meeting. Said: "Now that the northern and southern armies have been integrated, and the Tang Dynasty is in civil strife, the Ai family wants to unite the troops and vow to conquer the Tang Dynasty!"
The matter of "conquering the Tang Dynasty" was only mentioned in the court. Although some rumors spread to the people, it has not been officially announced. Everyone among the ministers understood that Shu Luping was just taking the opportunity to unify the three factions this time. When they heard this Then they looked at each other. I wonder if the Queen Mother really wants to fake it?
Yelu Wuzhi stepped forward and said: "Although the Tang state was in chaos, it could not leave Youzhou. The Tang cavalry army was not damaged. Although Yang Yi was deposed, his power was still there, and there were many generals in the army who dared to fight. To conquer the Tang Dynasty, we must Think long term.¡±
Shulu Ping said: "There is a saying among the Han people that opportunities should not be missed and they will never come back! Now Wuyu is waiting for news from us in Mobei. If we don't take action, once the news over there leaks, the last Khitan troops in Mobei will be gone. It¡¯s going to be bulldozed. So there¡¯s no further delay.¡±
Xiao Miansi stepped forward and said: "Even if we really want to conquer the Tang Dynasty, we must first decide on a candidate for the general to conquer the Tang Dynasty. We are sure of the two candidates, Keli and Sago. Although they are high and powerful, it seems that their prestige is not enough for this task." Heavy responsibility.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuala Duokuo shouted: "Of course they can't do it!"
Yelu Wuzhi also said: "Exactly, these two can be deputy commanders or retainers. The generals who conquer the Tang Dynasty should be appointed to the post of someone with high prestige and high status."
Anyone who hears this will know that Yelu Wuzhi alludes to Yelu Shuogu.
"Exactly, exactly! It should be so!" He said, bowing to Shu Luping: "Queen Mother! I think it is most suitable for the Marshal of the Northeast Army and Horses to serve as this general."
Although everyone expected him to say this, a small number of people at the meeting still started to cheer.
????
Brother Lala was furious when he heard this. Among the generals in this palace, who has never suffered from Tiance Tangqi? If you say this to your face, you will expose not only the scars of Yelucha, but the scars of everyone! Pulling Duokuo over, he grabbed his collar and shouted, "What did you say!"
Yelvwuzhi also felt that what Xiao Miansi said was inappropriate, but he still shouted: "Duo Kuo, stop!"
In the dragging, we glanced at the displeased look of Law Ping, hurriedly opened the brother, sneered: "Of course, we are the generals of the defeat, but it is always better than the captives who have been put back in vain."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Miansi's face immediately turned red.
Yelvwu said: "Please be patient, everyone. The so-called victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. The success or failure of the moment is not important. Didn't the Emperor of the Han Dynasty face Xiang Yu and lose again and again? But in the end, Gai Xia succeeded in the battle, and he also pacified the world. .¡±
These words pleased everyone in the palace. No matter the southern faction, the northern faction or the conciliatory faction, they all felt comfortable after hearing it. Not only Yelu Chacao, but also Yelu Shuogu, how could he get any benefit from the iron heel of the Tang army? Since they are all losers, let¡¯s not talk about the eldest brother and the second brother.
"But" YeluWu Zhi added: "Although Chage is brave and kind, the position of Marshal of the Northeast Army is suitable for staying in the country, but not suitable for conquering the Tang Dynasty."
Han Yanhui was very astute. He sang a double act as soon as he heard it and asked: "In the opinion of the Privy Council, who is suitable?"
Yeluwu questioned: "Since we are responding to Mobei, we must divide our troops into two groups, the main and the auxiliary. They attack Yanjing all the way to achieve the strategic effect of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. They attack Mobei all the way and respond to the troops raised in Mobei. Therefore, the Generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty attacked and The position of Generalissimo of the Northwest Army is most appropriate."
When the ministers heard this, they all thought that this was what you had in mind.
According to Lu Ping's unification of the north and south and the reduction of their military strength, Yelu Wuzhi and Han Yanhui discussed several times and felt that it was better to obey than resist in the name of righteousness. However, in addition to obeying, they also had to fight for it, and their goal was to integrate. Mediators, since Shuluping wants to build a new army, let's build it, but this new army must have a commander. When the time comes, we can win over this commander.
In their opinion, Yelu Chage has always been domineering, and he is the son of Yelu Anduan and the cousin of Yelu Deguang. He has the potential and danger to usurp power. Abaoji did this even before Yelu Anduan died! In comparison. Even if Yelu Shuogu holds military power, the possibility of usurping the throne is very small. The relationship between the southern faction and the reconciliation faction has always been better than that of the northern faction, and their political views are relatively similar. Therefore, both Yelu Wuzhi and Han Yanhui believe that between Chaga and Shuogu, In the future, Shu Luping will definitely tend to the latter.
La Lajie laughed and said: "The enemy said that the troops were divided into two groups. I also agree. In this case, let Shuo Gu Xiangwen lead the partial division, respond to Mobei, and Chage Xiangwen lead the army, and attack Yanjing directly. .¡±
Xiao Miansi said angrily: "How can that be done!"
"Why not! Isn't Shuo Gu Xiangwen the general of the northwest army? He should be allowed to fight in the northwest."
Xiao Mian thought: "Shuo Guxiangwen has been in the south for a long time, and he is more familiar with Yanjing's roads and military conditions. To attack Yanjing, Shuo Guxiangwen should be allowed to go forward."
Pulling La Jieli and saying: "Then, are we going to let Chage Xiangwen go to attack Mobei? Then we defeated Mobei. Wouldn't he become the Marshal of the Northwest Army? Then wouldn't all our official positions in Daliao be in chaos? Already?"
Xiao Mian thought: "Northeast and northwest are just official titles. It doesn't mean that since Chage is the marshal of the Northeast Army, he cannot lead troops to the northwest."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you say so, then the enemy said just now that in response to Mobei raising troops, they should send the Northwest Army Marshal, isn't it like farting?"
Although he is a rough man, he is different from Lala Duokuo, in that he is rough with finesse. When Xiao Miansi said this, he was speechless for a moment!
Yelu Duokuo laughed and said: "Yes, yes. It's just fart!"
The ministers of the southern faction were furious and immediately retorted with ridicule. Not to be outdone, the northern faction started to curse at the top of their lungs. The southern faction was more powerful and had more people in Liaoyang Prefecture. But the northern generals were rougher and louder. Once the two sides quarreled, the entire Daliao Dynasty Meeting immediately became more lively than the market.
Shu Luping¡¯s face darkened and he shouted: ¡°That¡¯s enough! Shut up!¡±
The power of the Queen of Earth. As expected, no one in Daliao dared to disobey, and the court immediately became silent. Yelu Wuzhi glanced at everyone, then looked at Shuluping's expression, stepped forward and said: "The position of commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses should be It is up to the emperor to decide. If the emperor is seriously ill and the prince oversees the country, let the queen mother make the decision."
Han Yanhui also said: "That's right, the old minister also asked the Queen Mother to make a decision."
Xiao Miansi and others also stepped forward and said: "I also ask the Queen Mother to make her own decision."
All the ministers from the southern faction believed that it was impossible for the Queen Mother to hand over the military power to Yelu Chaghu. Yelu Shuogu had no royal foundation. No matter what he did, he could only support the descendants of Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Chaghu was different. Once he took power, the Liao Dynasty The country's power might be transferred to the Yelu'antuan faction.
Unexpectedly, at this time Yelu Chage also stepped forward and said, "Chage also feels that this matter should be left to the Queen Mother to decide!"
¡°As long as it is the Queen Mother¡¯s decision, we will all be convinced,¡± Lajie Li and other northern generals said in unison.
Yelvwuzhi and others saw that Chage actually supported it. They were surprised and secretly worried.
Shu Luping pondered for a moment, and then said: "The candidate for conquering the Tang Dynasty cannot be ignored. The Ai family believes that if you don't have a noble status and trust, you will not be qualified for this important task."
Yelu Wuzhi and Han Yanhui both thought: "Both Shuogu and Chage have noble status, but when it comes to trust, it is definitely not Chage." They said together: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true."
Shu Luping nodded and said, "The Ai family has made a decision. Li Hu, please come out."
Amid the astonishment of the courtiers, Yelu Lihu strode out, glanced at him as he passed by Yelu's house, and exchanged glances with Yelu Chagae.Then he saluted Shulu.
Yelu Lihu has been missing since the battle in Mobei and has not been seen in front of others. When he suddenly appeared, all the officials in the palace were panicked.
Shu Luping said: "I don't think it's appropriate to leave the major task of conquering the Tang Dynasty to Shuogu or Chagong. It's best to let Li Hu be the commander-in-chief."
There was an uproar in the palace, and even Yelu Shuogu couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Queen Mother!"
Shu Luping already said: "When the emperor was still in charge, he had already appointed Li Hu as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Now that the emperor is ill, it is best for Li Hu to assume the power of being in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Aijia It is hereby decreed that Yelu Lihu, the great marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, will be in charge of all our armies in Daliao. All generals and generals must obey his orders and exercise restraint, and those who disobey will be executed!"
The original noise in the hall suddenly turned into silence. The title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" was indeed granted by Yelu Deguang, but it was just a false title. Yelu Deguang had known that Shuluping favored his younger son the most. , had to use this fictitious title to appease his mother, but when Shu Luping brought up this title again, it was not a fictitious title, but to "realize" it into actual power!
Yelu Wuzhi and Han Yanhui looked at each other, speechless for a moment. They never expected that such a change would happen. They had already spoken so much, how could they change their words now?
Yelu Shuogu shouted: "The Queen Motherthis!"
However, Chagao had already led the northern generals to bow down, shouting long live, and said: "We are willing to obey the Queen Mother Yi's decree, and we are willing to obey the orders of the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!"
Yelu Lihu was overjoyed and helped Yelu Chagong with his own hands.
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Yelu Wuzhi and Han Yanhui suddenly realized that they finally found the answer to the various "abnormalities" of the Northern Sect during this period!
Yelu Shuogu shouted: "Queen Mother, you can't do this!"
Shulu Ping's face turned cold. Yelu Lihu glanced at him and said, "Shuogu, you are brave! The Queen Mother just said that anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! Do you want to be the first one to kill the ghost sacrifice flag with my sword?"
Yelu Shuogu felt a chill in his heart. Knowing that Yelu Lihu had always been cruel, he might actually dare to kill someone if he said he wanted to!
Shuluping suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone: "Shuogu, Li Hu will be the marshal of the world's army, and you and Chage will be his right-hand men. This is the best arrangement. If you are opposed to this, , can it be said that you, Yelu Shuogu, can only be the commander-in-chief of the world's military forces?"
The Queen of Earth was so majestic and so confident that Yelu Shuogu did not dare to confront her head-on.
Seeing that Yelushuo was suppressed in the ancient capital, one person still couldn't help but jump out and shouted: "Everyone can be the general of the army in the world, but not Li Hu!"
Today¡¯s spirit has not fully recovered. Will add another chapter tomorrow. (To be continued)
