"Do you usually use these to drink?"

"It's always been like this in the military." Wang Lang said with a smile, "I'm not used to it at first, but I'll just get used to it."

"You're really used to it." Kong Rong stared at Wang Lang and said, "Even the tone of his speech has the air of the Northwest. Why, it's easy to get along with people from Xiliang? Don't we meet late?"

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched slightly. "That's true. If I could be born 50 years earlier, I might be able to educate Dong Zhuo and resolve a disaster for the great man. Wenju, are you interested in teaching in the army? After you become a saint, the knowledge is beyond my reach. If I can If you go to the army to educate, the effect will be ten times better than mine."

Kong Rong stared at Wang Lang with surprise.

He had heard from Yang Biao that Wang Lang was not satisfied with teaching in the army. He thought Wang Lang would complain just now, but he didn't expect that Wang Lang would not only enjoy it, but also persuade him to go with him.

"Jing Xing, even if you are a good teacher, you can't be so active, right?"

"It's not about being a good teacher, but about being able to teach without discrimination." Wang Lang picked up a salt bean, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. "Everyone has the instinct to be evil and the nature to be good, so they need to be educated. If I educate a Xiliang soldier, the world will reduce one point of evil and increase one point of goodness. The big man will have one less enemy and one more Elite."

The waiter brought wine glasses, Wang Lang poured two glasses of wine, picked up a glass himself, and held it up to Kong Rong.

"Give me ten years, and I can teach at least 1 people. Although I can't fight the enemy myself, there are [-] elite guards who have been educated by me to keep the side safe. If anyone wants to get rough on me in the future, they must first Think about whether you can bear the anger of my [-] disciples."

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows. "They are my way. Now I am walking on the streets of Chang'an, as long as I show my identity as an instructor in the army, who would dare to disrespect me?"

Chapter 693

Kong Rong looked at Wang Lang, feeling kind and strange at the same time.

The Wang Lang in front of him has only been separated from him for a few months, and his eyebrows and eyes are still the same, but the expression on his face and the look in his eyes are already a little strange.

The Wang Lang in his memory would never be complacent just because he taught a few Xiliang soldiers to read, and even called them Zilu.

This is too much, where is the dignity of a scholar-bureaucrat.

Kong Rong looked at the dried meat, salted beans, and goat's milk wine in the cup, and felt disgusted, and his face turned ugly.

"It's really Xun Rixin, and it's new every day, every day. In a few months, Jing Xing has such a comprehension, which is beyond compare."

Wang Lang is also a well-educated person, how could he fail to hear Kong Rong's irony.He laughed and didn't take it seriously.

When he just accepted Yang Biao's arrangement and went to teach in the army, his resistance was even worse than Kong Rong's.

"I heard that you met the emperor?"

Kong Rong nodded, feeling even worse.

Today was really embarrassing, walking back and forth for more than twenty miles made his waist and legs stiff, and he hasn't recovered yet.But compared to the psychological blow, this hard work is not worth mentioning.

He has been known for his intelligence since he was a child. He made Li at the age of four, and ascended to the Dragon Gate of Li Ying at the age of ten. He had countless debates with others, and he has never been so aggrieved as he is today.

Is it because he is the Son of Heaven that I am cowardly?

Why can't I throw the famous thorn in the face of General He, curse him, and walk away like I did when he entered the gate.

It was clear that he was more rude than He Jin.

"You lost the scolding battle?" Wang Lang suppressed a smile.

Kong Rong glared at Wang Lang. "Are you here to see my joke?"

"Of course not." Wang Lang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't intend to scold Kong Rong. "As far as I know, you and You Zhengping are the two most eloquent and courageous among the scholar-bureaucrats. When I heard that you are here, I thought, if neither of you can win, I am afraid that no one can beat the emperor. .”

Wang Lang put away his smile and turned serious. "Since this is the case, there must be some flaws in Confucianism, and it was caught by the emperor."

"What flaws can Confucianism have?" Kong Rong blurted out.

The words were out of my mouth, but my confidence was a little lacking, and my voice became smaller and smaller, until finally I fell silent.

Wang Lang looked at Kong Rong quietly, with a trace of sympathy and anxiety in his eyes.

"Wen Ju, you and I are both members of the Confucian school. We consider ourselves the children of a saint, and you are even more of a descendant of a saint. But you and I both know that the current Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism taught by the saint. The current Confucianism is also considered by today's Wen, Gu Wen, teacher's method, and family law are torn apart. If you say there is no flaw, do you believe it?"

He sighed. "Anyway, I don't believe it."

Kong Rong hesitated to speak.

Wang Lang took a sip of his wine and said again: "Many people say that the Son of Heaven wants to implement the laws of Qin. Based on my opinion in Guanzhong for several months, I think this statement is biased. If there are still people in this world who believe in Confucianism and kingly ways , the Son of Heaven should be the most resolute one."

"Him?" Kong Rong disagreed.

"Yes." Wang Lang nodded solemnly. "The reason why he speaks so rudely is that he feels that the current Confucianism cannot realize the kingly way. Today's Confucian scholars can only sit and talk about the way, but they can't stand up and practice it, and they can't entrust them with important responsibilities. Only young people can practice the kingly way, so he pins his hopes on young people. Xun Wenruo and Yang Dezu are all young people he has placed high hopes on. Their methods may be different, but their purpose is the same, they are all to realize the kingly way."

Kong Rong's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help feeling a little hot when he thought of the emperor's attack on him.

His record in Beihai is really embarrassing to others, especially in front of the emperor.

"You're right just now, Gou Rixin, and the new day, the new day. During the rise of the Han Dynasty, there were Shusun Tong, Lu Jia, and Jia Yi who advocated Confucianism, until Dong Zhongshu's Three Strategies of Heaven and Man, and Confucianism was the only one. Now more than three hundred years In the past, Confucianism needed another revolution. Ma Jichang (Ma Rong) has already started to do such a thing, and Zheng Kangcheng (Zheng Xuan) has the most profound academic ability among his disciples. But whether he can complete this great cause, I dare not make too much optimism."

Wang Lang touched Kong Rong's wine glass with his wine glass. "Do you know why?"

Kong Rong raised his eyelids and said angrily, "It's time to ask for advice."

"He is just a scholar. He has no experience in governing the country. He can only learn on paper." Wang Lang laughed: "Is Confucianism just a king on paper? Both Shusun Tong and Lu Jia were officials. Jia Yi They were also Xiaowen's think tanks, their knowledge is well-founded, and it is not just debates on paper to solve practical problems."

Kong Rong smacked his lips and nodded slightly. "Jing Xing, what you said makes sense."

"So I said, you are more suitable than him."

"What?" Kong Rong froze for a moment.

"You have a better chance of reforming Confucianism than Zheng Kangcheng," Wang Lang said. "Don't waste your energy on those verbal disputes, do something that is beneficial to the people's livelihood and Confucianism. Otherwise, after a hundred years, the sage may break your legs instead of knocking on your shins with a stick. .”

Kong Rong glared at Wang Lang, but his heart skipped a beat.

Wang Lang is right.

He has a better chance than Zheng Xuan to be the one who revitalizes Confucianism.

"You don't come here to persuade me to teach in the army like you do?" Kong Rong said seriously, "I don't have that kind of leisure and ambition."

Wang Lang shook his hand. "You deserve somewhere better."

"where?"

"Don't you know that the emperor wants to study Taixue?" Wang Lang said with a smile: "Go to Taixue, Zhao Binqing is over [-] years old, and there are not many days left, Taixue needs a person who is both knowledgeable and physically strong to serve as a sacrificial wine. After the Zhou and Qin changes, Guanzhong will usher in another major change, and being in it is a good opportunity to rebuild Confucianism."

Kong Rong was already moved, but he refused to let go. "I'm not interested in Mencius."

"To prosper the kingly way, of course, "Mencius" cannot be alone, but Meng Ke, as a disciple of the sage, his theory has its merits and cannot be ignored." Wang Lang said with a smile: "Take the essence and discard the dross." Only by doing this can new theories be achieved. Confucius said to achieve benevolence, and Meng said to obtain righteousness, they are all part of the kingly way."

Kong Rong remained silent, but picked up the wine glass on the case.

Wang Lang persuaded again and again. "Come, have a drink, I believe you will like it."

Kong Rong glanced at Wang Lang, raised his glass reluctantly, and touched Wang Lang.

Wang Lang drank it down in one gulp, but Kong Rong just took a shallow sip and tasted it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

This goat's milk wine is indeed different from the wine in the Central Plains, it is smoother, and it does not have the smell of the Central Plains' goat's milk. Instead, it has a pleasant fragrance, which relieves the pungentness of the wine, and has an excellent taste.

"Don't look, just drink." Wang Lang squeezed his eyes. "This goat's milk wine is not only mellow, but also healthy. Drink one liter a day, and after three months, you will know the beauty."

"really?"

Wang Lang chuckled. "You know, my wife has been in poor health, so we have been married for so many years, and only had one child. After arriving in Guanzhong, she has a glass of goat milk every morning, and her physical strength is getting stronger. She has just become pregnant. Although you have many children, but If you want to achieve a career, how can you do it without a good body? Try to add meals, starting with a glass of goat milk every day."

Chapter 694 New Era

Kong Rong couldn't help laughing, and drank it down in one gulp.

Although he didn't think much of Wang Lang's changes, this glass of goat's milk wine was quite to my liking.If a glass of goat's milk a day can really make the body strong, he doesn't reject it.

Even if he wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't dislike living too long.

Just like although he is nearly fifty years old and has sons and daughters, he does not reject having a few more.

Now that he has the important task of revitalizing Confucianism and rebuilding Confucianism, he certainly hopes to live a long life like Zhao Qi.

The two talked while eating, and the conversation became more and more interesting.

Unknowingly, talking about Xuzhou.Wang Lang asked him about the battle situation after he left Pengcheng, and he was quite moved by Liu Bei's restoration of his clan.

"The Son of Heaven will do everything for the sake of peace." Wang Lang chewed salt beans and leaned on the table with his back. "If Pengcheng falls, and Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't know how to choose, Xuzhou is also in danger of being rebellious, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Kong Rong didn't say anything.

Although he has some opinions on Tianzi Dutian, he also knows that Yuan Shao is no match for Tianzi in terms of the current situation.The reason for the stalemate was not because the emperor could not win, but because the emperor was worried that the Xiliang soldiers were not educated enough.Once they smell blood, all previous efforts may be wasted, and Shandong will also suffer for it.

From this point alone, the Son of Heaven can be described as benevolent and righteous.

"You don't wait for me to drink?" You Heng broke in wrapped in a quilt. "It really doesn't make sense."

"Zhengping, sit down." Kong Rong greeted, "I'll keep it for you."

"That's about the same." Mi Heng and Wang Lang nodded as a greeting, and sat down next to Kong Rong, picked up the jug on the table and poured it into their mouths.The wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth, soaking his chest, even on the quilt.

Wang Lang looked at Mi Heng quietly, with a smile on his lips.

"What do you see?" Mi Heng picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's only been a few months since we separated, so we don't know each other anymore?"

"I know, you still look like you deserve a beating." Wang Lang grinned.

"What's wrong with beating me up, do you still dare to beat me up?"

"I won't beat you, but I can guarantee that you will definitely be beaten if you stay in Chang'an for less than a month."

The corner of Mi Heng's mouth twitched, thinking of being held down outside Weiyang Palace by that bearded female knight, her head hurt a little.It seemed that Wang Lang didn't know about it yet, but he couldn't hide it, and he would know about it sooner or later.

Shame.

I can't stay in Chang'an anymore, I'm leaving tomorrow.

Mi Heng made up his mind and said to Kong Rong, "I'm not in Chang'an for the New Year. I'm going to Hanyang to celebrate the New Year."

Kong Rong said considerately: "Zhengping, don't be in a hurry, it's fine after the new year."

"No, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. I can't wait, I will leave tomorrow." Mi Heng insisted.

Seeing this, Kong Rong didn't persuade him any more.

Wang Lang was a little surprised. After asking, he found out that it was Yang Biao's suggestion, and he agreed with it. "If you want, you can find me tomorrow morning. The New Year is approaching, and the soldiers with Hanyang nationality are going back to their hometown to visit their relatives. I can give you a ride."

"No, no, no." Mi Heng refused repeatedly. "I'll go by myself."

Wang Lang was a little surprised, and was about to persuade him again, but Kong Rong knew it well and said, "Jing Xing, let him go."

-

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor issued an edict, and Ma Yunlu, the daughter of Nawei Wei Ma Teng, was a noble person.

The ceremony was very simple. After the edict was issued, Empress Fushou came forward in the palace and sent a team of Yulin female cavalry to bring Ma Yunlu who was waiting at home to the palace, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Liu Xie didn't even show up, he was very busy these two days.It wasn't until I finished my official duties in the evening that I went to Ma Yunlu's residence to have a meal together.

The ceremony is simple, but the impact is great.

Ma Yunlu represents the Xiliang Army, and also represents the new concept of women serving in the army.She entered the palace as a nobleman, which not only continued the connection between the Anding Liang family and the royal family, but also represented the recognition of the Xiliang people's status in the court.

It's just that this time, Liangzhou is no longer An Ding and Beidi, which are closer to Guanzhong, but Longxi and Jincheng, which are farther away.

According to rumors that have not yet been confirmed, Liangzhou may be divided into three parts.If this is the case, the Liangzhou represented by Ma Yunlu has nothing to do with Anding and Beidi.

As soon as the news came out, the Anding people and Beidi people represented by Huangfu Li and Huangfu Jianshou couldn't sit still and moved around.

Immediately afterwards, although the "Biography of Eunuchs" has not been officially published, the content has been circulated. One of the important points is that the emperor decided not to set up eunuchs in the palace in the future.

What this means is different, and it is difficult to conclude for a while.

But one thing is certain, no longer using eunuchs means that the emperor's harem will be limited to a certain scale.

This further shows that the emperor's harem has limited positions, and each quota is very important.

With the addition of Ma Yunlu, there are already three Liangzhou natives in the palace.If Lu Xiaohuan, who will enter the palace sooner or later, is added, there will be four people in Bingliang Frontier, but the only ones who can represent the Kanto people are Empress Fushou and nobleman Xun Wenqian, their strengths obviously do not match.

The ministers have their own minds, and they are moving around under the pretext that the New Year is approaching.

In this turbulent undercurrent, Jian'an has been here for four years.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Son of Heaven held a meeting in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, accepted the worship of the officials, and issued a new year's edict.

In the edict, the emperor announced one thing.

The people are the foundation of the state.The war is over, and from now on, the imperial court's priority will be to secure and enrich the people.

In order to do a good job in this work, the imperial court decided to hold a large-scale discussion. The time is tentatively set at the end of the year, and the location is set at the soon-to-be-completed Taixue. There are no restrictions on the number of participants and any method. Anyone who is interested in participating can participate. Suizhou County's Shangji went to Beijing together.

The edict was issued nearly a year in advance, hoping that the virtuous everywhere will be fully prepared.
