One thousand two hundred and eighty-seven, making great contributions to Confucius' ideal

Guo Peng’s policy, in a vulgar way, is to help the weak.

In the court, anyone who emerges will suppress whoever appears, so that the region will be more fair, and it is also for the better implementation of centralization.

Although Cai Mao had expected that there would be one day, when this day really came, he couldn't help feeling a little panic.

Jingzhou Xueye Hall is the legacy of Liu Biao's era, and it is the best and last gift that Liu Biao left to the people of Jingzhou.

Many scholars rely on the help of the Academic Hall to achieve great achievements in the imperial examinations, defeating poor families and mud legs through the imperial examinations, and entering the court to become officials.

And now, the emperor cannot accept this situation.

Faced with such an emperor, the people of Jingzhou could be said to have no power to resist. To fight against it, it would be tantamount to suicide, so they did not have any better way to go except obedience.

Now I don’t know what it would be like when those old peddlers realized that their last place of residence would be dismembered by the emperor?

Will commit suicide?

Just like those old guys who thought scholars had no future?

Cai Mao didn't dare to continue thinking.

He just felt that if he continued to think about it, he might even think of something even more terrible.

So he could not object, he could only raise some insignificant questions in a gentle manner.

"Your Majesty, the Academic Hall has been operating so far, and it is not wrong to provide us with a large number of talents?"

"Of course it's not appropriate. If this continues, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court are from Jingzhou Xueyetang. What do you think will be the result? What will people in the court think of Xueyetang?"

Guo Peng looked at Cai Mao and sneered: "Degui, are you reluctant to part with the inheritance left by Liu Jingsheng?"

Cai Mao was startled and hurriedly knelt down.

"I don't have it! I absolutely don't have it! I hope Your Majesty will take a clear look!"

"It's great, I know you don't. You just can't bear to leave Xueyetang this good thing, but Degui, you have to know that Xueyetang will continue to exist for one day, and I can't eat well or sleep well for a day. What else can I do?"

Guo Peng reached out and helped Cai Mao up: "The people who came out of the school are all future officials, but how can I let future officials go out of the same school? Degui, do you think this is the reason?

I finally solved the problem of the Five Classics and Fourteen Dharmas. Now, tell me that the Xueqing Hall will still take the old path. In this way, isn’t my previous practice meaningless?"

Cai Mao swallowed his saliva and claimed that he would do his best to help Guo Peng dismember Xueyetang and ensure that Xueyetang would not become a disaster for the empire.

"Oh, that's right."

Guo Peng happily patted Cai Mao on the shoulder: "By the way, when it comes to Liu Jingsheng, where is his grave? Take me to see him, and be an enemy of him for several years, confronting him for tit-for-tat. Until he died, I haven't seen him, which is a pity."

The emperor is going to see Liu Jingsheng's grave?

Cai Mao felt a little strange, but this was not a big deal.

Liu Biao died in Jiangling, and his tomb was located near Jiangling. A good place surrounded by mountains and rivers was the tomb that Liu Cong personally chose for Liu Biao.

Now every year, Liu Cong and Liu Qi will get permission to return to Jingzhou to worship their fathers to demonstrate their filial piety.

Guo Peng came to Liu Biao's grave and looked at the words "The Patriarch of the Jingzhou Palace" engraved on Liu Biao's tombstone, and he was a little dazed.

It's quite interesting to say. The heroes in the late Han Dynasty competed for hegemony, fighting each other to death, and becoming enemies of each other, but they might not have seen each other even once from birth to death.

For example, Guo Peng and Liu Biao have never seen each other, Tao Qian has never seen him from birth to death, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have never seen him from birth to death.

He was hostile to them, confronted them, and fought against them, but he had never seen them before, and his impression of them in his mind was symbolic.

Liu Zhang was a little better. He had never seen him before his failed surrender, but he often met now.

This era is really interesting. Two people who have never met before and don’t even know what each other looks and personality look like, can fight to death and fight to each other in blood.

In the end, the winner stood in front of the loser's grave, looking at the loser's tombstone, leaving only sighs.

Guo Peng asked someone else to get a bucket of water, watered Liu Biao's tombstone with a wooden spoon, and personally cleaned Liu Biao's tombstone.

"Although Liu Jingsheng is an enemy of me, he has governed Jingzhou for more than ten years, protected the territory and safeguarded the people, and prevented Jingzhou from being severely damaged like Jiangbei and Hebei. This is also his credit."

Guo Peng gave Liu Biao a more pertinent evaluation and asked Cai Mao to arrange someone to guard Liu Biao's tomb to protect Liu Biao's grave from being destroyed.

Cai Mao was not sure about what reason Guo Peng did this.

Is it a political show?

It seems that he no longer needs to do it. With his current political status and power, he does not need a political show at all.

So, what are the other reasons?

Are you feeling from the bottom of your heart?

Cai Mao still doesn't know.

When he returned to Jiangling City, Cai Mao held a welcome banquet for Guo Peng. It was of medium scale and not big, and Guo Peng was quite satisfied.

Those who came here to attend the banquet were all well-known figures, officials, celebrities, and powerful people in Jingzhou. Many of them were the first time they met the emperor, and some of them were very excited and even a little exaggerated.

But Mr. Guo still enjoys it more.

After finishing the official words on the table, I had almost done official communication. Guo Peng felt that time was limited, so he started to do the job.

Regarding the dismantling and dismantling Jingzhou Xueyetang, and dispatching the strong teaching staff in Xueyetang to various places to enrich the teaching staff in various areas with backward education.

This incident may cause a certain response in Jingzhou and cause some protests, but it is useless.

Guo Peng decided to move all the students who were not registered in Jingzhou Academic Hall back to their original homes.

Then they packed up all the masters in the academic hall and threw them to other places.

For example, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Hepingzhou, Liangzhou, Yunzhou and Jiaozhou.

These places where education is backward and economically backward, it is very necessary for these Confucius descendants to carry forward Confucius' educational spirit and change their spiritual outlook.

Since they always say that they say that, they naturally have to follow Confucius' educational spirit and go to educate the world, go around the world, and spread education to all parts of the world.

We must not go because the place they are going is too wild or bitter and cold, and we must not go because the people they are all uncivilized savages in remote areas.

Do you say that if I, Buddha, do not save the poor, and the Master will not educate the poor?

Is Confucius' educational philosophy limited to the rich, not the broad masses of working people?

That was something the emperor could not allow.

If they want to be decent, they will help them be decent. If they don’t want to be decent, they will help them be decent.

If you don’t teach, you will force you to teach, help you improve your ideological awareness, and help you improve your academic level.

After the grand banquet, Guo Peng left behind famous scholars in Jingzhou and leaders of the academic hall, including Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan, the leader of the famous scholars in Jingzhou, Pang Degong, and Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Yingchuan who lives in Jingzhou.

These three people are the leaders of Jingzhou Academic Hall, and can also be regarded as the last wishes of the scholars in Jingzhou. They surrendered with Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others and survived.

In the subsequent political storms, they hid in Jingzhou Xueye Hall without any impact, and gave people the feeling that Xueye Hall had become a shelter for Jingzhou scholars.

Although this kind of thing was not liked by Guo Peng, it had to be admitted that in a sense, Jingzhou Xueyetang really became a refuge for scholars and educated the last elite scholars of the Wei Empire.

This is not in the interests of the Wei Empire.

So in this ceremonial meeting, Guo Peng made some small requests to the leaders of these scholars.

They were asked to leave Jingzhou and each led part of the teaching staff of Jingzhou to areas with weak educational resources.

The celebrities were stunned on the spot.

"Educating all the people is the mission of Confucian students and Confucius' greatest wish. As disciples of Confucius, we should inherit the unfinished cause for Confucius and set an example for future generations. We should not let future generations think that we, a disciple of Confucius, can only say and do not do it."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "If today is stable and the world is peaceful, it is the time when the civil governance is prosperous. I will be able to open the imperial examinations and recruit talents from all over the world, but I have to consider whether the world can cultivate enough talents needed by the people.

Such as Yunzhou, Jiaozhou, Pingzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Mozhou and the Western Regions, these places have few populations, inconvenient transportation, and slow development. They are mostly bitter and cold places, lacking academic palaces, schools, and even more lacking famous teachers.

It is not enough to have books and schools alone. If you have famous teachers, how can you teach excellent students? I sent many famous teachers from Luoyang to serve as school officials and broadcasting and education. However, the power is weak and the number of people is small, which is not enough to change the wild situation in the local area.

At this moment, I remembered you. The students taught by Jingzhou Xueyetang are so outstanding that they are the best in the world. The students in Jingzhou can all be ranked among the top in the imperial examinations over the years. The level of Jingzhou Xueyetang is naturally recognized by the people of the world.

Therefore, I thought that if you each went to those wild places, spread education, and allowed the local wild people to be educated by the Central Plains, then the cause of preaching the world will definitely be completed quickly, and Confucius' wish will be fulfilled."

After Guo Peng's conversation, the leaders of the scholars looked at me and looked at you, and there was panic and despair that could not be hidden in their eyes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty means...I want us to go to these wild places and broadcast education?"

"That's natural. Gu wants to go, but Gu has other things to do. He can't just be a teacher. You are a famous teacher who has been famous for a long time. You can be as good as a thousand troops and can convince the local wilderness."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you have all made great contributions to the State of Wei and Confucius' ideals! Your actions and efforts will surely be remembered forever!"

Anyway, bragging is not taxed, so I put the high hat on their heads.

Don't agree?

Awkward?

That's just a toast and not to eat a drink.

If you ask you to go, don’t you go, will it look good if you order you to go?

I told you in advance that it is to give you the last bit of face. If you don’t want this face, don’t blame me for forcing you to go with administrative orders.

The emperor had a faint tendency to threaten this.

He can definitely do such a thing, and everyone believes it.

Fortunately, this is just a negotiation, not a specific order, and there seems to be a turning point.

So after the tea party, Huang Chengyan and the other three immediately found Cai Mao, and Pang Tong, the Nanshufang who was patrolling the world with Guo Peng.

Pang Degong's nephew, Pang Tong.

"This matter was said by Your Majesty himself. I was frightened when I heard it. I have been obedient to the public and law-abiding for many years and have not had any overcoming points. Why did I end up like this?"

Pang Degong looked in panic: "Digui, Shiyuan, will what His Majesty say become a reality? Do we really want to go to those wild places to spread education? No way?"

Cai Mao wouldn't say it anymore, he knew about this in the morning.

Pang Tong frowned and hesitated. Pang Tong looked at Cai Mao, and Cai Mao also looked at Pang Tong.
