CHAPTER XIII
Seeing that he prompted like this, his son hadn't thought of the key yet, Xu Ze sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "In September of the seventh year of Xinghe, the book of Shi Wei Huai, do you remember?" ”
Serving the Imperial Shi Wei Huai? That official who was born in the Han clan, was an imperial eagle dog, and was executed for five years?
Xu Yun recalled Wei Huai's life, especially focusing on recalling his book, but at the end he sadly found that as a qualified eagle dog, a knife in the emperor's hand that weakened the authority of the family, Wei Huai was almost caught by some illegal phenomenon, and he was about to be impeached for violating the rules, and the important members of the family were almost scolded by him, and there were too many pieces related to forcibly occupying fertile land and forcing the people to live in poverty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now Xu Ze asked coldly, Xu Yun really couldn't think of what Wei Huai had played in September of the seventh year of Xinghe.
When Wei Huai was active, Xu Yun was still a child of a family who had not yet been born, and he had an excellent eldest brother Xu Rong in front of him. For Xu Yun, just listen to political affairs, but he has never taken it to heart. Even if he has a good memory, it is too difficult to meet this kind of thing that he scans twice at will and does not deliberately pay attention to, and wants him to memorize it after seven or eight years.
Seeing this, Xu Ze shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "In ordinary years, hundreds of families are villages, but a few families have food, and there are eight or nine poor people; But in the year of the disaster, there are many people who are hungry, and they are even more sold, rushing and moving, and they are innumerable. This is the original words of Wei Huai's twists. ”
Before Xu Yun could think about it, Xu Ze asked again: "In March of the ninth year of Xinghe, Wei Huai wrote again to impeach the county magistrate Zhao Yong and Shang Shufu for shooting Qin Mu to forcibly occupy the official rice field, how did the saint judge?" ”
Xu Yun knew about this case, so he said without hesitation: "Zhao Yong, who was born in the Han clan, was hanged, and Qin Mu, a disciple of the Gao Sect, ...... To be safe and sound. ”
Seeing that Xu Yun still knew something, Xu Ze nodded and said calmly: "Wei Huai is ruthless and wants to climb up by any means. The so-called pity for the people is just a tool for the saint to see, so that others think that he does not forget his roots, and an excuse to bite the Shi clan. But I have to admit that as a servant of the imperial history, he has seen some of the world, and the scenes described in the compromises are also true. ”
Xu Yun is not soft-natured, he is still very smart, Xu Ze's two questions before and after are too straightforward, and he almost didn't directly say that the scholars control the court, so that the government is dark, the people are not happy, and the people will have to rebel in a short time, how can Xu Yun not understand? Because of this, Xu Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Father means that this world is ...... No, it's ...... in the world."
Seeing his son's reaction like this, Xu Ze knew that he needed a little time to accept this fact, so he sat on the chair and gently tapped his index finger on the table to pull Xu Yun's god back.
Seeing that Xu Yun gradually calmed down, Xu Zecai continued: "Zihou...... As a father, he pinned all his hopes on Zichu, and in order to avoid sibling rivalry, he deliberately indulged your gentle temperament and did not cultivate you too much. But the prince has been gone for five years, and you have also been a county keeper for three years, how can you judge yourself by the eyes of the past? ”
Seeing that his father first admitted that he was wrong, and then encouraged him when he heard the words, Xu Yun's heart was excited, and his voice trembled: "Father......"
"I know that you worship the elegance and bearing of the family, and I think that most of my northern surname families are vulgar, and compared with the surname Wu and Qiao, I make a judgment. In addition, some of my behaviors as a father have also affected you, making you feel that the family is superior, so you worship Taoism, like to talk about Xuan, love calligraphy and painting, and emphasize literature over martial arts. If it weren't for your father's strict control, you would have almost taken Wushisan like that group of unsuccessful southern scholars, plus grease and powder. Speaking of this, Xu Ze's expression was grim, and he said heavily, "You have to remember that everything you have done for your father is to break into the political circle monopolized by the family, not to really feel that the Han clan is useless and the family is noble." At this point, you are not even as good as Hui'er! ”
Xu Ze's every word hit Xu Yun's heart directly, making the latter bow his head in shame.
As Xu Ze said, Xu Yun tried his best to imitate his father, but he only saw the surface and never pursued it deeply. Xu Ze talked about the Tao of the Mystery and translated Buddhist scriptures and other means, all in order to pave the way for the Xu family, his heart was extremely strong and confident, and he never felt that there was anything humble about being born in the North surname. It is precisely this mentality and spirit that allowed him to develop the Xu family from a small county to the leader of a county. Xu Yun's background and environment are far better than his father's, but deep down, he is very inferior.
Xu Yun's mentality, in the final analysis, is still due to the importance of the social environment.
The real scholar family, to say the least, has to go back three hundred years, and there are high gates, secondary gates and cold gates. The third and third dukes are the surnames of the anointed sorghum, ranking first in the high gate; The third generation issued an order, and the servant was the surname of Hua Zhen, ranking second; The third generation is the Shangshu, the leader, and the protector are surnamed A, and they are ranked third; The third person who entered the Jiuqing was surnamed B, and he could only be the fourth of the sixth class of the scholar family.
If you look at the genealogy of the Xu family, you can find that Xu Yun's great-grandfather and grandfather only became the county magistrate, and Xu Ze, the assassin of the state, is the fourth-grade official. If it is strictly in accordance with the judging criteria, the Xu family cannot even be called a scholar, and it can only be said to be second-class. Further for the Gaomen clan, take a step back and become a cold door that needs to be enslaved. However, due to the fact that the Xu clan is extremely powerful in the whole county of Shangdang, if nothing else, future generations will not be able to run away from a county guard, and they can barely enter the ranks of the high gates. Xu Ze grasped this point and struck while the iron was hot: "Zihou, you don't need to think too much of the Shi clan, my Xu clan was still a Han clan five generations ago, and my father's generation is just a second family, but now?" After becoming the assassin of Bingzhou for his father, leading the general of Anbei, and holding the real power of the party and a county, who can say that the Xu family is not a scholar family? Success and defeat, ancient and modern, until the end, no one knows what the result will be, how can you be arrogant? ”
"Father......
Xu Ze's original idea was to let Xu Yun keep it, stabilize the family business that was urgently laid down in Shangdang County, operate more, and put the hope of progress on his grandson Xu Heng. But since he knew that ten years later, the world would be chaotic, and he had to change his policy and cheer up his second son, so that Xu Yun's ears would not be so soft, so that there would be no one who could be trusted and sit in the rear in the future. It was because he looked at Xu Yun, said seriously, and said with hatred: "It doesn't matter if others look down on you, but you can't give up on yourself, that's the real end!" ”
Xu Yun was extremely ashamed in his heart, and after a long time, Fang said solemnly: "My son is taught!" ”
