Su Xiu's worship made many people in the backyard at a loss, not to mention that the world has not yet shown chaos, even if the world has begun to be in chaos, Su Xiu is not a male lord with a good foundation.

First, Su Xiu's fame is not obvious, and the reputation of this era is very important, like Cai Yong, who is in the world, even if Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and abolished the young emperor to set up the emperor, but he didn't dare to move Cai Yong lightly, just because Cai Yong had too much influence in Shilin, and he would move his whole body; Second, just like Su Xiu himself said, he has no official position, and he has no meritorious service, and everyone who serves him is afraid that Mingzhu will secretly vote; Thirdly, Su Xiu has no family background, nor does he have the support of the family, in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, without the support of the family, it is quite difficult to gain a foothold in any place.

But Su Xiu's foresight is not available to many family officials now, that is to say, he can foresee the general trend from the current little phenomenon, which is quite lacking for a superior person who grasps the direction, and the rest is good to say, but this kind of overall control is not something that everyone can learn. Therefore, it is difficult for everyone to choose, and it means that you have to start from scratch in the true sense, and there will be many variables along the way; Don't be effective, there are really not so many Ming Lords today.

Xi Zhicai looked at everyone's expressions and understood everyone's thoughts, so he asked: "Then dare to ask Brother Su if he wants to become a hegemon, or if he wants to become a king?" ”

"What is hegemony and what is kingship?"

"The hegemon dominates the party; The king dominates the world. ”

"Zhicai plays me, when there is no chaos today, it is too early to talk about the cause of the king, otherwise wouldn't I also be Zhang Jiao and the like? But if the world is really in turmoil, and the court is unable to give the people a stable life, then I will definitely ask for the people's lives and restore peace to the world. ”

"Then does Brother Su have a plan?"

"There is a little plan, but it is not very mature, now Emperor Ling is not selling officials, I want to put a county guard as a foundation place, first develop the foundation firmly, and on the other side, visit famous people all over the place, and train soldiers and horses. Once there is a change in the world, you can conquer the world by entering, and you can protect the stability of one party by retreating. ”

"Donating an official is a shortcut, although with Brother Su's talent, the official position is an easy thing, but it is too slow, but the guard of a county is afraid that it will cost millions of dollars, even if it is exchanged for gold, it is as much as 100 gold, this is not a decimal, Brother Su can do it?"

"There is a way, but there is no operation channel, and it can't be operated."

Xun Yu listened to the hairs standing on end, this is a rebellion. Although the current Han Dynasty is no longer as majestic as it was in the past, it is easy to say that it is also a behemoth that has gone through 400 years, how could it be overthrown by a few scholars when they said that it would be overthrown? Donating a county guard, and then supporting the army to respect himself, this is no different from what he just said about Zhang Jiao's sincerity.

What's more, the rule of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if this dynasty is corrupt, it is also orthodox, not to mention that there are so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, not to mention that you have a county, even if you give you a state in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it will not help, and when the time comes, the imperial court soldiers and horses will arrive, and what kind of royal industry will you talk about.

Xun Yu hurriedly pulled Zhicai, called him aside, and said: "Zhicai, this is a rebellion, what are you still mixing with, it is the right way to get out of the talent quickly." ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly: "Can't Wen Ruo see that the current imperial court is terminally ill?" I know that you are bent on supporting the imperial court, and I also believe that with your talent, if you meet Ming Jun, you will definitely be able to have a certain effect.

But first of all, when today's son is not a Ming monarch, he only thinks about the beauties of the harem, just wants to circle money to live his extravagant life, and let the eunuchs control the government, and secondly, the feudal officials in various places support the army and respect themselves, completely like the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if you think you can really turn the tide in such a situation?

You are a child of the Xun family, what you see and hear may be ancestral teachings such as loyalty and patriotism, but those children of the poor family, they don't know where they are after eating, practicing and the next, how can they live in such a life?

Didn't I go out on a solo trip a few years ago, and you know what I saw? At that time, there was a locust plague, and the local county guard concealed the disaster and increased taxes, so the people could only change their children and eat. Wen Ruo, Yi Zi eats! You haven't seen it, you may not even have heard of it, you can't understand the pain in the hearts of the people.

So I don't blame you for having your loyal and patriotic ideals, but I hope you don't be stubborn, such a court is really not worth all you pour into it, I'll say all this, Wen Ruo, you think about it. ”

Xun Yu never imagined that the current Han Dynasty had been corrupted to such a field, nor could he imagine the scene of the people changing their children and eating, although the Xun family is not a rich family, but the heritage of hundreds of years has also made Xun Yu clothed and fed, and his life is worry-free.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Xun Yu felt that he didn't know where to put his hand, looking at Xi Zhicai with tears in his eyes, he felt for the first time that the friend in front of him was so far away from him. I am like a flower in a greenhouse, I have never experienced wind and rain, and Xi Zhicai is like a wildflower on the roadside, I have seen wind and rain and suffered frost.

It's ridiculous that I always feel that I support justice, but I don't know that my so-called justice is already rotten and can't be corrupted anymore. Could it be that I have been persisting for so many years is wrong? Are all the ancestral teachings maintained by the Xun family wrong? Are all the ideas taught by so many Confucianists wrong? Xun Yu was confused, and the collapse of his faith made him at a loss.

In fact, the shock that everyone in the courtyard got was not much worse than Xun Yu, after all, Xi Zhi did not deliberately lower the volume just now, so everyone heard it. Although everyone is not a big family, they can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing, if you really want to say that Xu Fu's family is a little poor, but it has not yet reached the situation where there is no upper and lower meal.

Therefore, everyone was also surprised by the tragic scene of Yi Zi eating that Xi Zhicai just said, and at the same time, they were even more impressed by Su Xiu in front of them. With a talent to learn, but did not listen to the wind and rain, when needed, dare to brave the world's condemnation, dare to ask for the people's life, such a person should really doubt whether he can succeed?

Su Xiu is the most calm among all the people in the courtyard, because he knew the tragic situation of this era as early as when he was studying, although there was no scene of eating Yizi along the way, but it is not for nothing that hungry people eat grass roots and bark, he himself is a promising young man born in the eighties under the red flag, and he has not experienced that kind of famine, but it does not mean that he himself is from a good background. His parents are the most people's teachers, and they usually spend most of their salary on helping those poor students, and their family's life is not as good as they imagined. Therefore, he can understand the plight of the toiling masses at the bottom.

Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Su Xiu had no choice but to speak: "What Zhicai just said is true, and it is indeed a situation where the people are not able to make a living, so Taiping Dao can develop and grow as quickly as a locust crossing the border, but Zhang Jiao is using the theory of ghosts and gods to coax the people, so I think his real intention is not really for the benefit of the people of the world."

And the biggest difference between me and Zhang Jiao is that I don't lie to everyone, I can say whatever I think. Of course, this does not mean that I am a saint, I also have my own selfishness in doing this, I want to protect my family and friends in this upcoming troubled times, so I must have a place in the troubled times, so that all the princes dare not peep at me, and when I have enough ability, I will lead everyone to calm the world.

In addition, I also want my people to be proud of the Han and not to become a two-legged sheep in the mouth of foreign races. And the idea of loyalty and patriotism that you have accepted before is not wrong, but your understanding is too narrow, the ancients have a cloud that 'the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light' The loyal and patriotic monarch is the people, not one person, the world is the world of the people of the world, and it is not the world of one person! Cheng Tang destroyed Xia Wei because of the love of all the people, and Zhou Wu died because of the support of his subjects. ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai, he immediately got up and bowed: "Mr. Meng's teachings, loyalty has been taught a lot, if you don't give up, you are willing to follow Mr. around, and help Mr. show his ambitions!" Su Xiu was overjoyed, and immediately picked up Xi Zhicai, and said: "I have the ambition to help each other, just like Zhou De Lu Wang, Qin De Zhang Yi, why worry about the difficulty of the great cause!" Hahahaha......"

"Thank you, I will be loyal to live up to the trust of my lord, do my best, and die."

After sitting down again, Xi Zhicai asked again: "The lord just said that he wants to donate a county guard, can the lord have a good choice?" ”

Su Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to Taishan County, what do you think?" ”

"Oh? Taishan County? But the lord has already thought about it? Taishan County is located at the junction of Qingxu and Yan, although there are a little mountains and forests, but once the war appears, it is slightly difficult to defend Chengdu, how to develop? ”

"But where there are advantages, there are disadvantages, first of all, although Taishan County is located at the junction of Qingxu and Yanzhou, but whether it is Qingzhou or Xuzhou Yanzhou is not very interested in Taishan County, because Taishan is poor, then we can develop secretly in Taishan, hiding in the front.

Secondly, Xuzhou is rich, and now it can purchase grain and pig iron and other strategic materials nearby, and Qingzhou and Xuzhou are good places for soldiers, especially Danyang County, which is a place for strong soldiers.

Third, Taishan County is a rare mountainous area in the land of Qingxu, there are many bandits and bandits entrenched in the mountains, we can take advantage of the current situation to suppress bandits as a reason for training, but also can hide troops in the mountains, once the war starts, we can quickly bring out tens of thousands of soldiers.

Fourth, Mount Tai is close to the Bohai Bay, and we can pass through the Bohai Sea and get war horses from Liaodong, which is convenient for the training of cavalry. As for the defense issue that Zhicai just mentioned, I believe that as long as there is no attention from people with a heart, we will be able to build Taishan County into a solid foundation before the Taiping Road incident. ”
