Chapter 185: Warren. Xun's capability boundary
"Boya, your Shu County Taishou will continue to hang. Yesterday, the shogunate held a public meeting, and that Xun Gongda wrote to himself to ask for a temporary residence in Changshi, saying that he had not been an official for a long time, and most of them were senators, and he had never been in charge of the party, so he was afraid that he would not be able to win.
also listed some of the chaos of Dong Zhuo's 'sudden promotion to the top guard of other counties and the excuse of staying in office' when employing people, I think he is sincere, so he will change it to the history of the governor of Shu County. You should be in charge of Sancao to give him the same old age, and you can rest assured that you will go to Nanzhong. ”
The day after Xun You came, Liu Bei called Li Su and told him about the situation.
Li Su was slightly surprised at first, but he was also happy to accept this explanation, which did save some trouble.
Strictly speaking, Xun Yu only stepped into the official career when Emperor Ling died, and at that time, he was followed by more than 20 celebrities represented by Zheng Xuan, and was recruited by He Jin as an official. If you calculate it this way, you have only been a Beijing official for three years, and you are only two years older than Liu Bei in terms of age. When two years of long history passes, the rhythm is just right.
Of course, Xun You's qualifications, strictly speaking, cannot be simply calculated according to "three years as a Beijing official", because it also involves a group of party celebrities who refuse to cooperate with Emperor Ling, and they have to die before leaving the mountain. It's like if Zheng Xuan is willing to come back to be an official, then his qualifications in teaching and educating people in the field must also be counted.
Li Su just smiled and asked, "Did he see the concerns we had planned before?" ”
Liu Bei took a sip of tea: "He didn't say it in public, and he only told me in private, 'Don't be suspicious', I should be a little aware." ”
Li Su nodded: "It's not surprising, these are just human feelings and the authority of the shogunate, and we don't hide it, he should be able to empathize." ”
Liu Bei: "Then you go back and take over well." ”
……
came out of Liu Bei's place, and Li Su summoned Xun Yu that afternoon.
Li Su didn't need to be polite, he first explained Xun You's work and instructed him, and was in charge of the affairs of the three Cao Caos of punishment, etiquette, and soldiers as a long history, and Xun You also accepted it decently.
However, after all, it is the first time for the two to communicate, and it is impossible to just talk about work, Li Su also has to control the professional mentality of his subordinates and enhance mutual understanding.
However, Xun You seemed to be very eye-catching, so he didn't wait for Li Su to say a few polite words? He took the initiative to show favor and said: "The prince of the palace does not have to be too humble? This point of Beijing official qualifications is really insufficient. When you were first recruited as a Beijing official? Fu Jun is already a Zhonglang general? General Zhengxi was also Zongzheng Shaoqing at that time. When the prince of the palace was in Beijing, he fought against the Confucianism and the emperor praised him as knowing the destiny of heaven, and he still vividly remembered it. ”
This speaks? Pretty good, but? Shouldn't he be a flatterer, right?
Li Su thinks something is not in line with the historical image? Just said one more tentative sentence: "When Gongda said this, I remembered something, the lord has been fighting the Yellow Turban for seven or eight years?" There are no Yingchuan celebrities under the account? Regardless of whether it is voluntarily voted or forced -
I have long heard that Yingchuan celebrities are proud of refusing to leave the office during the Zhongping period, or abandon the official after witnessing the disdainful things in the court, and I heard that Uncle Ling is the same. What does Gongda think of those who disdain to be in the middle of the peace? ”
This question, a bit acute? Knocking and probing are also a bit obvious.
Xun You just made a gesture of goodwill and said that he "The qualifications of Beijing officials are not as good as Liu Bei and Li Su, so although they are older? Or should you start from the grassroots in a down-to-earth manner", then Li Su asked him rhetorically, "Do you think you took advantage of Zhongping to climb up in those years?" They all paid the money to buy officials or took refuge in eunuchs to participate in the eunuchs."
Although it is not explicitly stated, the wise man can count it as soon as he speaks.
This is a major issue of right and wrong that Liu Bei must face squarely? If you can't see through it? can't be reused - that's why Liu Bei's subordinates? An important reason why I haven't reused any of the Yingchuan celebrities before.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty began to levy "palace repair money" in the second year of Zhongping because of the fire in the Nangong, so that in Yingchuan, Nanyang, Runan and other places, there was a strong trend of Qingliu celebrities resisting the rise of the bureaucracy in the Zhongping period, and even indiscriminately prided themselves on the lack of officialdom qualifications in recent years. People with such pedantic views must be screened out.
Hearing this question, Xun You's face really became solemn, and he changed his free and easy attitude of eating and drinking when he first met Liu Bei.
He thought for a while and replied: "General Zhengxi has never asked such a question, and the prince of the mansion can ask this question, which is worthy of being a far-sighted person." Since there are no outsiders here, there is no need to hide your secrets.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred in the first year of Zhongping, if there were no generals in Zhongping, where would the current Han Dynasty be? So I don't dare to say anything else, it is impossible for a person like our Xun family who understands righteousness to look down on the generals of Zhongping.
But in those years, there were especially many despicable villains who sold their official positions and were fortunate to enter because of them, so that the wolf-hearted dogs were rolling in the court, and the servants and servants were in power. My generation was reluctant to go out of office, not because of the precipice, but because of the chaos in the world, I couldn't see the current situation clearly, and I didn't know what way to control it.
Just like Runan Xu Zijiang, Cao Mengde was rated as a capable minister who ruled the world and a traitor in troubled times. But during the Zhongping period, it was a transitional period when the rule was not governed and the chaos was not chaotic, and I wanted to save the world, but I didn't know how to govern it? Resist it with chaos? If you can't see this clearly, you will inevitably risk yourself if you do it rashly.
Although the achievements of the general of Zhengxi are huge, he foolishly thinks that he is not as good as the general of the chariot and the general Lu Shangshu, right? But the general of the Che Cavalry and Lu Shangshu are such special honors for the country, and they are inevitably frustrated by the slanderous words of the Ten Standing Attendants. General Zhengxi was only because when the Ten Standing Servants were there, he was not a young secretary and could not be too guarded, so he had not yet entered the eyes of the Ten Standing Servants who were afraid of framing.
To put it mildly, if Emperor Ling lived for a few more years, with the loyalty and courage of General Zhengxi, forgetting himself for the country, and the speed of promotion, he might not be able to suffer the frustration of General Che Cai and Lu Shangshu.
Therefore, for the heroes who dare to do things for the country and do not care about their own gains and losses, they are still famous for the famous generals who are famous for 'Emperor Ling's concession to exempt the palace money'. But ordinary people who are wise and wise to protect their lives do not dare to speak falsely and learn from their loyalty. ”
Li Su involuntarily bit his lower lip slightly, and thought quickly: This guy has some goods!
To be honest, Li Su has always felt that "looking at the intelligence value in the game", Xun You should be slightly inferior to Lu Su, let alone Zhuge Liang.
However, Li Suzhen had never heard this opinion from Lu Su just now.
Perhaps, this is the suppression of age and experience. 34-year-old Xun You, facing 21-year-old Lu Su, is more politically sensitive after all. Lu Su's intellectual performance should be evaluated by Xun You, and it may take ten years to work. As for Zhuge Liang, considering that he is only 12 years old now, it is estimated that it will take at least ten years before he can surpass his intelligence.
Xun You sincerely said that he did not look down on the rookies of officialdom who rose during the Zhongping period, and also said that he did not enter the market at that time because he couldn't understand which way to go.
In his mouth, "the way to govern the way and the way to fight the chaos is to be translated in Li Su's vernacular", which is "Emperor Ling must act according to the logic of officialdom when he is alive, and he must gradually switch to the logic of fighting for hegemony when Emperor Ling dies".
It's just that Li Su is a prophetic hanger, and he knows where the switching time of this logic is, when Emperor Ling will die, and when Dong Zhuo will destroy the central authority.
Xun You didn't know, so he steadied himself, lest "Before I entered the logic of fighting for hegemony, I preemptively used the hegemony mode to make profits, and as a result, I caused trouble for myself and became a ghost under the knife of the ten permanent servants."
Judging from the results, Li Su is certainly "well versed in the way of heaven and has no last resort", Xun You at least "knows the boundaries of his ability, so he does not do things beyond the boundaries of his ability".
This is a bit like Warren Buffett's "I don't invest in areas that I don't specialize in, and if I encounter an investment opportunity that I don't understand, I'd rather wait and see and miss".
"I didn't expect that during the Zhongping period, I refused to go out of the office, and I actually had such an interpretation, and sure enough, there must be my teacher in the threesome line - in this way, in your eyes, I am a risky and radical person?" Li Su sincerely applauded.
Xun You responded calmly: "I can't talk about the master, the fool has a thousand thoughts, and there is still one thing to gain." The prince of the house has always known the world for knowing the destiny of heaven, how dare he be regarded as a person of gambling. However, you really can't think of any other way to avoid those risks - it is impossible for the prince to foresee when the emperor will die? When will Dong Zhuo be in trouble? ”
Li Su's expression was serious: "Of course you can't predict, but everything can be planned." Since Emperor Ming in this dynasty, the Son of Heaven has not been over thirty-five years old without collapsing. Knowing the general trend, the specific details should be prepared with various plans.
At the beginning, when the rebellion of my relatives and eunuchs broke out within a year, I had my own strategy to deal with it within a year, and if it broke out within two or three years, I also had my own way to deal with it. Tempting the troubled times with the way of governance, and testing the world with the way of chaos, there is a slight tendency of trial and error, and I also have room to stop immediately, so I am in danger. ”
Li Sutan frankly flaunted his set of "I have a plan for everything, and I still have a backhand for various prerequisites that are not met because of sudden accidents". It's also a shame that the world is already in chaos, and no one dares to pursue it if they dare to say such a rebellious thing.
In fact, Emperor Ling died a year late, Li Su could cope with it, if he died two or three years late, maybe Liu Bei's camp would break the capital chain or attract someone to frame him.
But the effect of the show is really good, and as soon as these few words are said, Xun You is finally completely convinced. Xun You secretly thought in his heart: "It turns out that this person really didn't succeed in gambling on luck!" It's his wisdom and insight that is far superior to mine! ”
Of course, even in Xun You's eyes, Li Su didn't win by luck, but Liu Bei must have been so smooth because of the "blessing of heavenly luck", not to mention anything else, meeting Li Su itself is Liu Bei's biggest "heavenly luck".
And Li Su solved the problem of Xun You's mentality and let him put himself in the right position, the significance of this matter is not only to solve the problem of Xun You's loyalty, but also to let Liu Bei's rise and Li Su's knowledge of the destiny of heaven open a breakthrough in those interest groups that "refused to be an official and protect themselves during the Zhongping period".
In the future, if there are people with this kind of character to vote, they can learn everything through Xun You, and they will be beaten by Xun You's mouth, "Li Su is not gambling on luck to help Liu Bei get to this point, he is really overflowing with computing power, and he can deal with all kinds of branch deductions of the general trend of the world", as long as the latecomers completely believe this, they will be in awe of the fortune of heaven.
After completely obeying Xun You, he accepted the daily management affairs of Shu County Sancao with a correct attitude, handed over the work with Li Su for a few days, and promised not to do anything more about the economic construction work planned by Li Su, and then Li Su and Guan Yu Zhang Fei set off to Qianwei to make pre-war preparations for the pacification of Nanzhong that began two months later.
