At the end of the third year of Xingping, Yuan Shao issued a forgery of imperial edicts all over the princes. In the edict, Liu Xie had been bewitched by traitors and persecuted scholars since he ascended the throne.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the traitor is. It is not difficult for those who care about the government to see that since the Chuping period, when Liu Xie ascended the throne, every decision made by the court was basically decided by Liu Xie. Naturally, there is no such thing as the so-called traitor who bewitched the saints. This reason is that the princes or scholars put gold on their faces.

It is okay for the princes to raise troops from each other, but this time they attack the court. If there was no such treacherous person and they were asked to give the ruling monarch, even if the princes joined forces to send troops this time, it would be unjust. Therefore, they needed such a treacherous person as an excuse for them to send troops. As for who the treacherous person was, there was no indication in the forgery. This is exactly their cleverness. If they win, this treacherous person will naturally do whatever they want. If they lose, there will be room for reversal.

Liu Xie naturally learned the content of the prosecution from the secret guards. On that day, Liu Xie asked Wei Zhong to loudly read out the prosecution of the princes in the court.

"This literary talent is really good." Liu Xie smacked his lips, looked at the heavy-faced ministers, and smiled, "But I don't know who did it?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Chen Lin is a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, and is currently serving in Jizhou." Under the hall, a scholar stepped forward and told Liu Xie.

"Yes, this literary talent who refers to a deer as a horse is a rare talent." Liu Xie smiled and said, "It seems that as the princes said, there was indeed a traitor in this court, but I am very curious, who is this traitor?"

"Your Majesty, this must be the strategy of the Guandong rats trying to subvert our dynasty and creating something out of nothing! I beg your Majesty to give me a group of people. I should lead my troops into Jizhou and take Yuan Shao's head to see you!" Lu Bu stood out and said with murderous aura.

My daughter was just pregnant and was said to be a prince. In other words, her grandson would likely become the heir to the Han Empire in the future. At this time, Lu Bu really wanted to help Liu Xie unify the world immediately. At this moment, the heroes of Guandong dared to jump out, which was absolutely unbearable for Lu Bu.

"General Lu is a little restless." Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "You must fight, but don't be too hasty. If we are really angry because of such a forgery, then we will be really plotted by the princes of Guandong. I will not do this."

"What Your Majesty said is very stupid." Lu Bu clasped his fists, took a deep breath, and retreated back to the train.

Yang Biao raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Lu Bu in surprise. Then he looked at Liu Xie. Although the emperor has been young since he took power, he has a strong mind. Yang Biao was not surprised that Liu Xie was able to keep his anger. What surprised him was that Lu Bu was so obedient.

Thinking about how rebellious Lu Bu was back then, none of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and even Yuan Shao could really control him. Now it seems that Lu Bu was vaguely following the emperor's leader, which is a bit surprising.

After thinking about it, Yang Biao stepped out and looked at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, since the heroes of Guandong have issued a forgery, the army will definitely arrive soon. Our court should make preparations early. I wonder what plans your Majesty has?"

"Plan?" Liu Xie shook his head: "If you are confused because of them, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the people of the world? The guards of each pass should strengthen their defenses, and at the same time, they should pay close attention to the movements of all parties in Guandong. The matter of moving the capital cannot be stopped. Sima's beloved, how are you preparing for moving the capital?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, because the rain in various places a few days ago, many places along the route were deformed under the rainwater, which made our material transportation stagnant. Now the Ministry of Works has sent people to repair the goods along the way, but the materials transported to Luoyang will probably be delayed for a while." Sima Fang bowed.

Since the track was paved, at least the transportation between Chang'an and Luoyang has been countless times more convenient, but there have been many problems. The most important thing is that the wooden tracks are too easy to corrode. Even if the wood selected on the track is hard wood, it is always easy to cause damage over time. For this reason, the Ministry of Industry has also specially formed an emergency repair unit. Once damage occurs, the wooden track will be replaced immediately. However, this time, there will be a large-scale damage and it will not be able to repair it for a while.

"Well, I will go to the Ministry of Works to see it. The battle is imminent. There must be no difference between these two tracks." Liu Xie nodded. After all, it is not a railway track. Even if there is a cement road absorbing water, it is still easy to have various problems over time. This is also the reason why Liu Xie has always paved cement roads in Guanzhong, but the wooden tracks have not been promoted. It is too easy to break. Although the Ministry of Works has come up with many ways, such as soaking the wood of the wooden tracks with tung oil, it can effectively prevent moisture or select harder wood.

There are some effects, but Liu Xie is not very satisfied with it. However, someone from the Ministry of Works proposed the idea of ​​replacing the track materials, which made Liu Xie a little appreciated. However, at present, he has not found a substitute that is as easy to make and easy to find as wood as wood. At present, he can only use wooden tracks to make them.

"Zhao Shuang!" After asking about the progress of the capital migration, Liu Xie looked at Zhao Shuang again and said with a smile: "How are the preparations for the county school affairs?"

County school?

The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in front of each other, and this was the first time that many people heard this word.

"Go back to Your Majesty!" Zhao Shuang's appearance in the crowd surprised the ministers. Zhao Shuang was not a court official, but was above the court at this moment. This made all the civil and military officials in the court speculate on the identity of this person, but Zhao Shuang ignored the others and bowed and said, "With the help of the Ministry of Works, the adapted Nine Chapters of Arithmetic has been prepared. According to Your Majesty's proposal, I and the emperor's uncle Liu Hong divided Nine Chapters of Arithmetic from shallow to deep into Nine Divisions. The Ministry of Works has printed 30,000 copies and can be put into use at any time. After a year of teaching, outstanding students in the village school have also been selected. As long as Your Majesty allows, the county school can be opened at any time."

Yang Biao, Sima Fang and others suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts. Yang Biao hurriedly stepped out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what is the county school?"

"Inspired by the previous selection of wise men in the imperial court, I discussed with several bachelors such as the emperor's uncle Liu Hong and Zhao Shuang and decided to establish a county school based on the rural education. Anyone who has been taught for one year and obtained permission can enter the county school for study."

Seeing Yang Biao's gradually gloomy face, Liu Xie smiled and said, "County schools are mainly ninth-rank degrees. After entering the county school, they are all first-ranks. After one year of study, they can be admitted to the second-rank after passing the county school assessment, and so on. After reaching the third-rank, they can choose to continue to rise, study knowledge, or pass the county school assessment and become officials. Of course, officials in the court feel that they do not have enough academic education, they can also enter the county school to continue their studies. After that, the court will receive scholars every three years and obtain the third-rank certification of county school certification, all can enter the imperial city to participate in the selection of scholars. Just like this, the court will choose to choose to be a direct appointment by the court. Those who fail to pass can be an official, or they can enter all walks of life. In the county school, in addition to the necessary knowledge, they can also choose to learn other skills."

"Your Majesty, this move is related to the selection of scholars in the court. Why don't such a major event be discussed in the court?" Yang Biao said furiously.

"It has not been completely decided yet. At present, it is only a county school. As for the launch of it in the future, it depends on the timing." Liu Xie smiled and said, "The Taifu doesn't have to be nervous. In the county school, I have specially opened a scholar class. Children from aristocratic families can directly cross the third rank of school. Of course, if you cannot complete the academic assessment in the future, you will not be able to advance."

The aristocratic families still enjoy some privileges, such as the inclination of educational resources, but these inclinations are not too serious. Whether they can make a living and achieve success depends on their own ability.

It seems that the children of aristocratic families have the right to directly participate in the recruitment of scholars, but in fact, they still have to be the same as those of county students, and only after passing the assessment can they enter the officialdom. If this move is really successful, the right to recruit scholars will be completely in the hands of the court.

Yang Biao lowered his head, his eyes turned red, and he bowed silently and returned to the train. He no longer wanted to argue with Liu Xie anymore. With the previous successful examples, Liu Xie had enough reason to refute him and insisted on county school. In terms of principle, Liu Xie's move was correct, but it was absolutely devastating for scholars.

However, Liu Xie's behavior also made Yang Biao completely discover how weakened the status of scholars in Guanzhong. He did not believe that he could see the harm in the county school affairs, but the civil and military officials in the court were the only ones who spoke, which also made Yang Biao's already firm belief even stronger.

As long as Liu Xie is still there for a day, it will be difficult for the scholars to return to the grand occasion of the past. If Liu Xie is not dead, the scholars will be in a state of decline!

A terrifying cold light flashed deep in his eyes, but Yang Biao didn't say anything more. He listened silently as Liu Xie discussed matters with all officials, without saying a word.

Looking at Yang Biao's appearance, Liu Xie raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and the old guy was quite tolerant!

Just as the princes of Guandong wanted to disrupt Liu Xie's Fangcun by using a forgery, today Liu Xie revealed the matter of the county school, and also wanted to disrupt Yang Biao and others.

The princes of the world joined forces? Liu Xie was not afraid because he knew that these princes could not work together, but Liu Xie had to care about internal problems. No matter how strong the fortress was, it was easy to break from the inside.

Looking at Yang Biao with a narrow eyes, Liu Xie snorted coldly in his heart. This time the battle between the court and the princes was the most intense confrontation between the imperial power and the aristocratic class. If the victory was made, the imperial power would completely overwhelm the scholar class and be defeated... Liu Xie never thought that he had to win, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a good person. As for how future generations evaluate him, Liu Xie had no control.

"The matters of county schools were held by the Emperor and Zhao Qing. This matter is related to whether our dynasty can be stable for a long time and cannot be slacked off. In addition, the county schools in various places are independent of the regime, neither county officials nor county magistrates have the power to supervise, but no right to make decisions. Each county school will set up a dedicated person to be responsible for rewards and punishments!" Liu Xie looked at Zhao Shuang and Liu Hong and said with a smile.

"I will obey the order." Zhao Shuang and Liu Hong bowed quickly.

But the ministers heard something and couldn't help but feel a little more thoughtful.
