Spirit Monarch's Imperial Decree 5/5 ()
As for painting, it was a symbol of art. Others might not care much about it, but what could Liu Xuan do if Emperor Ling liked it?
One word, learn!
Only God knew what Liu Xuan had experienced in those three years.
He could have relied on martial arts to make a living, but he had forced himself to become a top student with no limits. He was even a little addicted to studying. In his spare time, he often visited the Imperial Academy of Medicine to ask for medical knowledge.
And if one had to ask Liu Xuan if he really loved to study to this day?
Liu Xuan still said the same thing. He didn't love her!
Learning. He had already learned to vomit before he transmigrated. He knew that he was mediocre.
Although he had learned many things, he didn't think that those things were of any use to him. He had long understood what he should understand. Learning these things was only to increase his level of communication.
That's right. Liu Xuan was constantly expanding his communication level, allowing him to have space to communicate with everyone and all kinds of people. If there was a need to subdue them, he could even use what he had learned to cover the other party's cognitive space.
This was a relatively simple method that Liu Xuan had discovered to subdue his underlings.
After traveling through the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xuan understood one thing.
This wasn't a chaotic world yet. If you shook your tiger body, you could only fool those ordinary people who couldn't even eat.
However, such a person didn't need to shake his body at all. If you gave him some benefits, he would die for you.
Therefore, if one wanted to subdue others, one had to first make them admire him, then make them submit, and finally make them submit.
The simplest way to achieve this was to defeat others in their field of expertise and make them submit. If the first time didn't work, the second time, the second time didn't work, and the third time didn't work.
In this chaotic era, Liu Xuan gradually forced himself to become an all-rounder.
And today, according to the usual practice, Liu Xuan was prepared to practice martial arts in the morning, consolidate and improve various miscellaneous studies in the afternoon, and then review the old and learn new things in the evening. During his rest, he would review the tens of thousands of scriptures and classics he had read from Cai Yong and the palace collection in his mind.
However, everything was disrupted by a person's visit.
Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Generals!
He would not come to the temple for no reason. Moreover, with Zhang Rang's status, if there was something, he would not come personally. Instead, he would call him over.
And this time, it was undoubtedly a business matter.
"Liu Xuan, accept the decree!"
Zhang Rang held the imperial edict in his hand. Seeing this, Liu Xuan was stunned and bowed to receive the edict.
In this era, there was no need to kneel when receiving an imperial edict. There was only the feeling of bowing and listening. Only servants would kneel to their masters.
The content of the imperial edict Zhang Rang brought was very simple.
However, Zhang Rang's arrival was not simple. For a moment, it was intriguing.
The general meaning of the imperial edict was that Emperor Ling of Han had decided to establish a place for academic research, the Hongdu School.
Nominally, this was a place where students gathered to study literary classics.
As for Liu Xuan, he would be part of the first batch of students of Hongdu School and one of the students appointed by Emperor Ling of Han.
Obviously, the appointment was just a pretense. This was an order. He had to go no matter what.
Those who didn't know about the Hongdu Sect might have been fooled, but Liu Xuan was a man who had the Book of Prophecy.
The Hongdu School's Book of Prophecy recorded that other than the Xi Ping Stone Scripture, there were only two other recorded actions of the Han Ling Emperor.
Although there were portraits of Confucius and his seventy-two disciples hanging in the Hongdu School, the school did not study Confucian classics.
In the name of Confucianism, they were discussing poetry, calligraphy, and other subjects that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was interested in.
In this regard, although many scholars secretly criticized him, and many aristocratic families reacted strongly, they discovered that Emperor Han Ling would put his students in an important position. Other than the scholars of the Imperial College who despised this kind of behavior, many people were willing to take this shortcut.
However, Hongdu School was slandered by the Confucian scholars and the gentry, causing some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to hesitate.
Although scholars were all loyal and patriotic, there were still clans and aristocrats before the country. These clans were the gathering of scholars and the power to resist the imperial power.
Therefore, many times, if one wanted to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, one had to pass the examination of the aristocratic families.
If the interests of the 'gentry' were harmed and the foundation of the 'gentry' was touched, then even if you had the blood of loyalty and love for the country flowing through your body and had the ability to overturn the universe and change the world, you would still be slandered by those scholars, who would secretly poke at your spine and ruin your reputation.
And this, don't think that it's over just because you don't care.
In this era, the gentry controlled more than 90% of the literati's power, monopolizing almost all the civil officials and smart people.
They represented fishing boats, righteousness, and pressure.
If you want the clear to be clear and the turbid to be turbid, don't joke around. If the people in the world say that you are wrong, you are wrong.
Everything about you would be magnified. Your words and actions might have been casual in the past, but in the eyes of those who wanted to find fault with you, they would be signs of rebellion.
As time passed, these comments spread to everyone's ears and finally to the emperor.
The result is that although you are talented, you are born to be rebellious and cannot be reused.
Then, the entire world will be filled with malice towards you, and your miserable life will come.
This was the terror of fishing boats.
Liu Xuan had seen it before he transmigrated, so he also understood how terrifying it was.
And now, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted to set up this Hongdu School, which was going against the aristocrats. He wanted to promote the children of the poor families and weaken the aristocrats 'control over the politics of the court.
In this regard, Emperor Ling of Han, as the Son of Heaven, was merely the result of winning or losing in an arm-wrestling match with the aristocrats.
However, if someone were to participate at this time, especially a student, it would be equivalent to the student standing on the opposite side of the aristocrats.
If Tian Zi failed, he would lose face and smash things in anger. He could plan it in the future.
However, the students who chose the wrong side would directly sink into oblivion. Under the pressure of the fishing wheel, they would completely disappear or even wither and perish.
Under normal circumstances, the Hongdu School opened by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was to recruit children from landlord families or poor students.
These people did not have much power. Liu Hong was prepared to recruit them and use them for himself to become a group of political forces against the aristocrats.
