Chapter 610: Calculations by All Parties

The Confucian scholars in Luoyang were not so easily persuaded. Although they were physically defeated by Ma Su, they still tried to resist in various ways.

During the three days of Liu Xuan's subsequent lectures, Confucian scholars kept coming to criticize and debate. And these people, without exception, were all defeated and thrown out by Ma Su...

In fact, if there really was a Confucian debate, it would be helpful for study. However, this time Liu Xuan's lecture was not a simple Confucian lecture, and its political significance was far greater than its academic significance.

So there was no way, even if the Confucian scholars in Luoyang were dissatisfied, they could only hold it in.

Ma Su's attitude of completely disrespecting the great Confucian scholars completely annoyed the Confucian scholars in Luoyang. They wrote to Chang'an one after another, intending to accuse Ma Su of disrespecting Confucianism to the emperor.

However, their behavior was soon persuaded by Sima Jin, the acting patriarch of the Sima family.

"Stop it now! Writing to Chang'an is humiliating yourself! Isn't it embarrassing enough?" Sima Jin saw several great scholars who were about to write to him, and urgently persuaded them to stop.

"My cousin is working in the central government, and he is the Guanglu Doctor. He clearly said in the letter he wrote to me before that General Ma Su is deeply favored by the emperor, and his prestige is no different from Zhuge Liang."

"We are just a group of new great scholars. Do you really think that the emperor will offend Ma Su for this and issue an edict?"

Sima Jin's words immediately persuaded the group of scholars. After all, they had just surrendered, and from Ma Su's attitude, it can be seen that they don't take themselves seriously.

Even Ma Su is like this, then the emperor, prime minister and even the entire Guanxi court behind him will probably ignore them, right?

Thinking of this, a group of great scholars couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Whether it was the Later Han Dynasty or Cao Wei, the court treated them with courtesy.

As a result, now it has changed to Ji Han, but they don't take them seriously at all!

"This group of Guanxi barbarians! Sooner or later they will destroy this country!" A Confucian scholar said angrily.

"In fact, there is no need to be so depressed. We may be able to fight back against their tyranny." Sima Jin smiled, showing a smile of confidence.

"Since the prince is giving lectures, he naturally hopes to pass on the Confucian annotations of the court to Luoyang. But Luoyang is our home court after all. How can we be afraid of a group of Guanxi Confucian scholars?"

"Everyone, follow me to organize the clansmen to refuse to participate in the prince's lectures, and organize our lectures in other places in Luoyang. When no one listens to the prince's lectures, they will naturally look for us to cooperate with them!"

Sima Jin's suggestion made the eyes of all the great Confucian scholars brighten, and they all felt that this matter was feasible.

Influence is divided into regions. Some people have great influence in some regions, but they may not have such great influence in different fields.

For example, Ma Su, now all the officials and scholars in the world know him. But in the academic circle, Ma Su's words are probably not as effective as a look from the great Confucian scholars present.

As long as they greet each other, there will be no Confucian scholar in Luoyang who will listen to Liu Xuan's lectures. Faced with a situation where there are few students, their Confucianism cannot be passed on, and sooner or later they will have to bow to their local Confucian scholars!

"Let's do it!"

"Good idea!"

"Master Sima has a good idea. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat these people who don't respect Confucianism!"

However, soon someone raised a question with concern.

"That's true, but... that Ma Su is not someone who is easy to deal with. What if he uses force directly?"

"He dares!"

"If he dares to kill the scholars in Luoyang, the whole Guandong will despise him!"

"If he still wants to stay in the officialdom, he will never take action against Confucian scholars!"

"Don't worry! Ma Su won't do that." Sima Jin smiled and said at last,

"If he planned to take action, he would have used war on the first day of taking Luoyang. Now he hasn't used troops, obviously he intends to govern Sizhou gently."

"So as long as we don't go too far and bow to them at the critical moment, everything will be fine!"

In the end, under Sima Jin's advice, a group of great Confucian scholars returned to their clans, ready to unify and isolate this prince's lecture.

After the great Confucian scholars left, Sima Jin's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Master, do we also have to go back to call back our clansmen?" The confidant next to him asked.

"Recall? That's right, let them come back, and then change their clothes and attend the prince's lecture as a humble family!" Sima Jin nodded and then gave the order.

"Everyone who attends the lecture must change their faces and names, and no one is allowed to claim to be a member of the Sima family."

The words just now can be used to deceive those great Confucian scholars, but the family members must not believe them. It is a rare opportunity to warm up with the crown prince and the current general, and these politicians are unwilling to let it go.

What's more, the Sima family has long been prepared to bind the Han Dynasty. It is also a good opportunity to study the Confucian annotations of the court in advance.

While these fellow villagers are thinking about how to resist, the Sima family has already thought about how to study and secretly killed them.

Soon, Ma Su found that the scene of the prince's lecture had changed.

I don't know what stimulated the group of great Confucian scholars, so they no longer came to make trouble, but went to give lectures by themselves.

However, the flow of people at the scene of the prince's lecture did not decrease, but increased further. Among them, a large number of "poor people" with tattered clothes but fair skin crowded in, listening attentively to the prince's lectures.

"What is going on here... The thinking of the Guandong family is still a bit strange." Ma Su shook his head speechlessly, and for a moment he couldn't understand what these families meant.

But no matter what it meant, the prince's lecture finally went smoothly.

Although most of the people at the scene were disguised children of aristocratic families, there were still some children from poor families mixed in. Next, we only need to wait for the promotion of Prince Liu Xuan's lectures, and the promotion of Confucianism by the Han court will be unified. It is only a matter of time before the imperial examinations are held.

However, Ma Su is still very clear about the impact of this work. After all, this is denying the efforts of all scholars in the world for many years, and the turmoil caused by this is not a little bit.

Ma Su is not worried about offending people, but if the turmoil caused is too great, it will not be a good thing for the court.

So he did not rashly promote it in Guanxi, and in Guandong, he only promoted it slowly in the nature of lectures.

However, when promoting lectures, Ma Su did not stop the construction of Sizhou.

Outside Luoyang, a large number of civilians began to perform corvée during the off-season, repairing the damage caused by the previous war.

Meanwhile, in Jianye in the south, a handsome guy who did not want to reveal his name was furious.

"Why is Zhuge Liang in Jiangling?!"
