Chapter 2 The high and the low do not exceed each other

There was no word for a night, and on the second day, Gongsun Xun went to deal with things by himself.

According to the general result discussed by General Wei and his core subordinates yesterday, it should be divided into four routes...... On the one hand, Wang Xiu temporarily disposed of the affairs of the three auxiliary civil affairs; On the one hand, Jia Xu set out to dispose of the remnants of Hongnong and Luoyang's Liangzhou troops; on the other hand, Lou Gui and Han Dang and other generals discussed merits and reorganized the army; On the other hand, it is for Xi Zhong, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan to immediately begin to promulgate the "Decree on Seeking Talents", and recommend talents to enrich the shogunate.

Among them, the first three things can be done at the same time, and except for Jia Xu's side, which can be expected in the short term, the other two things are long-term things that are destined to be taken seriously and are destined to take a lot of time and energy to deal with.

In this way, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, expanding the shogunate, recruiting talents, and unifying power has become a top priority, and it has also become a prerequisite for doing the rest of the things well.

To be more specific, it may be different from what many people think, but it is actually very simple to expand the shogunate and establish a system...... After all, the Qin and Han dynasties were actually very perfect, and there was a complete military reserve system and talent recruitment system in the general's mansion in these years, and the three princes' mansions had a perfect political system for all kinds of things.

Among them, the so-called two refers to the east and west Cao who is in charge of personnel, the West Cao is responsible for the internal personnel agency, and the East Cao is responsible for the external personnel department.

The so-called nine is the Qin and Han nine Cao system, that is, the household Cao master household, ancestral shrine, and agricultural mulberry; Playing Cao presides over the proceedings; resignation of the main resignation of the lawsuit; Fa Cao main post section of the Cheng Shi; Wei Cao is the main logistics and civil husband transfer affairs; thieves and thieves; Decide the main crime of the law; Bing Cao is the main soldier; Jin Cao is the main currency, salt, and iron affairs; Cangcao is the main Canggu business.

Finally, there is a Yellow Pavilion master book, which is responsible for document storage.

Such a system, coupled with the military privy system that originally came with the General's Mansion, is really a complete hegemonic system.

In fact, the so-called three provinces and six ministries system in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhongshu, Privy Council, and Three Divisions system in the Song Dynasty, and the cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty, including the military aircraft system in the Qing Dynasty, are all variants of the Qin and Han systems, monarchy and relative power; internal rights, external rights; Civil, military, and financial power...... Each game is just a little advance and retreat according to the characteristics of the times.

There is a saying that is very good, it is the system of law and Qin for all generations...... That's what the world does, and these things are not so mysterious.

At this time, what Gongsun Xun has to do is nothing more than to add this eleventh Cao Yi Pavilion to his General Wei Mansion, and then slap the table, and in the future, all the things in his own territory will be sent to General Wei's Mansion for disposal, that's all.

So back to the present, from this day on, Gongsun Xun's real focus should be on talents, because if there are not enough talents, no matter how perfect the system of the eleventh Cao Pavilion is, it is just an empty shell.

Therefore, Gongsun Xun actually has a lot of expectations for today's "Seeking Talents", Ma Teng Han Sui's list of gifts, and Zhong Xuan and Xun You's recommendations...... In any case, the original intention of taking down the center, one is naturally to ensure that the only authority that may influence oneself to whip the world will not be held by others, and the other is to take a fancy to the talents accumulated by the center over the years.

There is no doubt about the importance of talents, the so-called people-oriented, this person naturally refers to the integration of the people, but when it is really used, it is necessary to select the best of them to lead and other important responsibilities, and this leader is the so-called talent.

And I have to admit that the center, a bureaucratic ensemble that was publicly criticized by Gongsun Xun, still monopolized the most elite and handy group of ruling talents in the entire Han Empire...... The waiters in the Yellow Gate, the Shangshutai scholars, the Yushitai's courtiers, and the palace officials made by Dong Zhuo who are mainly the children of the ministers and ministers are actually talents worth looking forward to, and they must not be killed with a stick.

But then again, the premise of all this is that it can be used by me, and it can't be overwhelming.

After all, employing people is politics.

"Pound Pang Lingming?" Under the shade of a tree in the courtyard of General Wei's mansion, Gongsun Xun took a piece of paper and raised his eyebrows slightly when he came up. "He's also a hostage? Hangul asked you to be hostage? ”

It is said that on the morning of this day, Gongsun Xun ordered the door to be opened early in the morning, hung out the order to seek talents, and bluntly said that those who came would not refuse, and then sat in the courtyard to prepare to accept the world's talents. And soon, he really ushered in the first wave of the expected talent dividend in the crowd - Han Sui Ma Teng, and some Xiliang army leaders were the first wave of people who flocked to him.

After all, these people don't need to worry about face, and they are restless in Chang'an City, and the army is also trembling in the encirclement of Gongsun Xun's army...... So it's extra eager.

"Yes." Han Sui hurriedly got up and said respectfully. "It's not childless, but none of them are over ten years old, I'm afraid I can't serve the general, I only have a daughter last year, and Liangzhou is poor, and there are too few young talents, so I simply recruited Ling Ming as a son-in-law."

Gongsun Xun, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, raised his head and thought for a moment, and then he was still confused...... If Pang De became Han Sui's son-in-law, why did he always be Ma Teng's subordinate?

Of course, what this Wei general didn't know was that it was the battle he presided over in Weishui that day that killed Yan Xing, who was supposed to be Han Sui's son-in-law, that made Pang De fill the position, and the so-called thing was justified.

Of course, if you don't understand, you don't have to think about it, Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head: "That is the case, Pang Lingming is indeed the best candidate, I heard that he originally liked to ride a white horse, and he used to be called a white horse in Liangzhou, and I also like his martial arts and loyalty. ”

Han Sui was overjoyed and immediately leaned over to thank him.

And Ma Teng also hurriedly got up and handed over a list in his hand through Jia Kui's hand.

Gongsun Xun opened it, and when he saw the word Ma Chao, he was even more stunned: "Ma Chao is your eldest son, right?" ”

"Exactly." Ma Teng immediately responded.

"Already crowned?" Gongsun Xun frowned more and more. "It's not that big, is it?"

"I'm just fourteen years old, but when I send it, I'll be able to tie my hair...... I wanted him to learn something from General Wei. Ma Teng replied earnestly. And although this kid is only fourteen, he has already been able to mount a horse and use a spear, which can be called brave. ”

Gongsun Xun frowned more and more.

In other words, he didn't doubt Ma Teng's sincerity, but he had some doubts about Ma Chao...... It's not a doubt about character, a fourteen-year-old bear child, no matter how bear, thousands of miles away from home alone, can gradually be restrained in the army, the key is that the age of fourteen is really embarrassing, a little young.

But if not, it's even more wrong, right?

"General Guard." At this moment, Han Sui, who had just sat down easily, suddenly got up and spoke again. "Ma Chao is the eldest son of General Ma...... He also had two sons-in-law, one thirteen and one twelve, both of whom were able to mount horses and carry spears. ”

Ma Teng looked at Han Sui in astonishment, but hurriedly knelt down to Gongsun Xun to plead guilty: "It's definitely not that there is an intention to deceive the general, it's really that the other two sons are too young, and Ma Chao is not a concubine, but his mother is a Qiang." ”

"Didn't pursue your intentions." Just when Ma Teng was panicking for a while, Gongsun Xun, who was too lazy to pay attention to Han Sui's careful thoughts, finally raised his head. "I just do feel that I am a little young, and there is no need to forcibly tie my hair...... That's good, the children of Liangzhou on these lists, those over the age of eighteen who follow Pang Lingming into the White Horse Yicong, those under the age of eighteen, such as your eldest son Ma Chao, might as well go to Changping to study for two years, and then come to serve in our army, how about it? ”

Ma Teng naturally had nothing to say.

And since the charter has been set and the two largest warlords in Liangzhou have also been successfully passed, then in the future, such as Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, as well as Jiang, Yan, Zhao, Ren, Liang, Su, Song, Bian, and other Liangzhou wealthy families and military leaders have also lost their sincerity, and they have sent their children, so naturally there is no need to say more.

And Gongsun Xun put away the list, and when he saw the group of Liangzhou warlords and wealthy families in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone, do you know why I am so kind to you?" ”

Han Sui took the lead: "The prince is generous." ”

"It's not generosity." Gongsun Xun shook his head. "We just fought a battle last year, with more than 10,000 casualties, so why deceive ourselves and talk about generosity? The reason why I tolerate you is nothing more than a matter of urgency. ”

Han Sui and Ma Teng all laughed dryly.

"In terms of locality, you Liangzhou, once the Qiang and Han people live together, the chaos has lasted for more than 100 years, and if you want to rebuild, you will inevitably have a long way to go; Second, as long as Liangzhou does not intrude on Guanzhong, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Gongsun Xun continued to sit there and speak. As far as people are concerned, although the Liangzhou army is good at fighting, but like you waste, it seems that you are unstoppable, but in fact, what you are asking for is just a temporary separation, seeking personal happiness, and there is no great ambition...... Don't say that compared with Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are far inferior, so as long as you are honest, I can naturally let it go, clean up Hebei first, and then reason with you...... And you also understand this truth, that's why you dare to go to Yiwu to see me, and you still want to rely on me to turn over and sit firmly, right? ”

Han Ma and the others laughed more and more.

Gongsun Xun also laughed suddenly, and then immediately smiled solemnly: "Having said that, but for the sake of governance, I always have to talk about the rules of the court, and my soldiers and horses are stronger than you, and I have defeated you in a grand manner, so I can always say something to you, right?" ”

Han Sui was still the first to react, and his person immediately bowed over: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!" ”

From Ma Teng downward, they also hurriedly leaned over to obey orders.

"First, I don't care what you do, Hanyang County will govern Jicheng, and the passage east of Jicheng will be given up, and the imperial court will also send a new Liangzhou assassin to settle in Jicheng."

"Whoa!" When they came up, they wanted to seize the territory, but Han Sui and the others still gritted their teeth and responded.

"Second, it is not allowed to fight with each other privately, if there is friction, stab the history first, and sit down and do not get on the horse...... Right and wrong, I have my own judgment in my heart. ”

"Whoa!"

"Third, the three counties in the north are headed by Ma Shou, and it is necessary to pay attention to guarding against the southward movement of Xianbei in the west, and there are reinforcements in the state, and they are not allowed to refuse; The three counties in the west, led by Hangul, should try their best to maintain the passage of the Western Regions and ensure business travel. Gongsun Xun continued, but at this point, he suddenly became stern. Finally, there must be no cruelty. As far as I know, the people of Liangzhou are quite safe under your rule, and the local people still respect you, which is actually the reason why I can really tolerate you, otherwise, no matter how difficult it is, is it difficult to ask for Dong? I have made it very clear in front of Hedong and the previous Weiyang Palace, if you really disobey me, then I will also take your head from thousands of miles away like Dong Zhuo, and then spread it to the world...... Ladies and gentlemen, I have been friends with Dong Zhuo for more than ten years, so I can keep his mother and granddaughter, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

Han Sui's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he was still the first to bow his head and say yes.

"In this case, I will show the title of the Son of Heaven tomorrow, and the title of you two miscellaneous generals, and I will each lead the troops back." Gongsun Xun waved his hand. "There are a lot of things here in Chang'an, I really don't have the heart to entertain you, and you also have to go back earlier to stabilize the order in Liangzhou and soothe the hearts of the people in Liangzhou...... Tell them that the Han has been stable for a hundred years, Liangzhou has been in chaos for a hundred years, and now the Han is in chaos, but my grandson Xun took Guanzhong, but it should be Liangzhou's turn to settle down a little. ”

Han Sui and the others bowed their heads and said goodbye, and Gongsun Xun put away the list without thinking much about it.

In other words, General Wei's Mansion is rarely opened, and it is naturally a city, so Han Sui and others have left, and the righteousness in front of the door has immediately attracted people here, and this group of people are three brothers, called Zhang Fan, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Cheng respectively, who are famous martial arts cultivators in Hanoi and left behind Zhang Liang.

Among them, Zhang Chengnai was born as a serious subordinate official of General Wei, and he was regarded as the former official of Gongsun Xun...... Born in a top famous family, and with such a relationship, it is no wonder that they came over so early, and it is no wonder that Yi Cong put them at the forefront.

In other time and space, this brother once planned to deal with Dong Zhuo, but he gave up on his own, and then fled to Yangzhou together, and was finally caught by Yuan Shu, and only returned to the center after the Battle of Guandu, and was reused by Cao Cao.

At this time, there was such a relationship, Gongsun Xun naturally felt that it was a matter of course, so he immediately got up to greet him, on the one hand, he wanted Zhang Cheng to return to the shogunate, but on the other hand, he took the initiative to speak bluntly to Zhang Fan, asking the other party to stay and serve as his own Cao Cao Peng.

However, Zhang Cheng's return was decided, but Zhang Fan politely refused Gongsun Xun's conquest.

Gongsun Xun was surprised, but he was also surprised...... As soon as he came, he knew that Zhang Fan was extremely tranquil and had a Taoist feeling when he was in Hanoi before; Second, he also understands Zhang Fan's mentality, his previous momentum in Weiyang Palace was too sufficient, with this kind of smart person, he will inevitably be a little worried, he may be biased towards himself, but he doesn't want to stand between the Han family and himself.

Giving up the central position and becoming a direct subordinate of his Gongsun Xun is not a last resort, and he will not do this after staying here...... Especially Xiuwu Zhang's family also has an affair with Gongsun Xun, as long as this General Wei is not a fool who can't tell the difference between enemy and me, then he won't be embarrassed.

In fact, Gongsun Xun really had nothing to say about this.

Of course, some disappointments are inevitable.

In fact, for the talents that can be recruited in Chang'an, Gongsun Xun has a scale in his heart.

For example, the characters sent by Ma Teng Han Sui, although they came out of the surrounding county, and the smell of anti-thieves on their bodies could not be washed away (the real name of recruiting them was Dong Zhuo), but Gongsun Xun was happy to see these people join his army and make meritorious contributions in Kwantung Hebei in the future, because they have no political foundation and no involvement in the army, in fact, it is a great advantage, which can be used with confidence.

There are also some people, regardless of their background and position, as long as they ensure their basic ability, then if they choose to come to the door by themselves in accordance with the "Talent Seeking Order", Gongsun Xun will definitely try his best to ensure that the other party is preferentially arranged...... Whether it's a horse bone or a obedience test, it's been the rule for thousands of years anyway.

There are some people, as long as they come to the door, Gongsun Xun has no way or reason to turn them away...... For example, He Jin, who once helped Gongsun Xun, Wang Qian, and the Shanyang Wang family behind Wang Qian, this has to be repaid; and Cai Bojiao came to the door again, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, he had to pinch his nose and confess; Similarly, there are Liu Kuan's protΓ©gΓ©s, the old ministry of Hanoi, and so on.

But he never expected that these people who were involved with him would be careless, but the group of Xiliang thieves were all sincerely afraid...... Isn't it possible to only demonstrate, not to be greedy?

Sending Zhang Fan and leaving Zhang Cheng, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart, and as time passed, the more people came on this day, and there were more and more similar situations, and even, Gongsun Xun's uncle Hua Xin Huaziyu (this guy is Lu Zhi's junior brother, and he also has something to do with the old master Chen Qiu) instead persuaded him not to be too anxious in order to appease the hearts of Guanzhong.

As for the so-called "talents" who really voted for themselves and came with a "job" attitude, I haven't seen a single one.

Of course, even if he knew in his heart that only the people in Chang'an City came to the door after getting the news today, and few people in Chang'an City needed to use this way to seek their background, but Gongsun Xun's mood gradually turned gloomy.

Only in today's world, the so-called monarch chooses his ministers and ministers also chooses the king, you can't be too aggressive in recruiting talents, and if you want to demonstrate, you have to knock on the side, otherwise you can only suffer in the end.

"Prince."

In the afternoon, when the sky was slanting in the west, Xi Zhong, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan rushed to General Wei's mansion with their own recommendation lists, but they saw Gongsun Xun summoning Wang Qian's son, Wang Cang, who was only thirteen years old and was wearing filial piety...... In other words, it was not until this time that Gongsun Xun knew that Wang Qian had died of illness on the way to move the capital, and while he was becoming more and more depressed, he was also hesitating how to place Wang Cang.

You know, this kid and his cousin came to visit together, the two are about the same age, but his cousin Wang Kai is seven feet long at a young age, and his appearance is dignified, looking like a young man with bundled hair; However, Wang Cang himself is short, ugly, and weak, like an infully developed ten-year-old child, which is really worrying.

In all fairness, if Wang Cang had been the same as his brother, Gongsun Xun would have stayed by his side and appointed him, but with such an appearance, if he stayed by his side to polish, once he got sick and was injured, and then died with a whimper, he was afraid of losing Wang Qian's two great favors that day.

And just when Gongsun Xun hesitated for a while, and the surrounding Zhong Xuan, Xi Zhong, Xun You and others also wanted to remain silent, suddenly, Yu Fuluo came from the backyard and hurriedly presented a bag.

"What is this?" Gongsun Xun was naturally at a loss.

Cai ...... Left by Mrs. Cai. Juvro hastened to reply. It's not that I don't know that the prince is meeting guests, it's really the lady's orders. ”

The people around looked at each other, even Xi Zhong didn't know why there was suddenly an extra Mrs. Cai, and how could Jia Kui and the righteous servants who knew a little bit talk too much?

"Did she go back?" In his opinion, since there was something about last night, there was no need to think about it, just wait for two days to be busy, and immediately look for someone to propose marriage, and officially accept the other party as his wife...... More than ten years ago, it was ridiculous to take Cai Bojiao's daughter as a concubine, but now that he has the power of the world, it doesn't matter.

Although there are many rules in the world, few of them are designed for the real superiors.

"As soon as the prince came to the front to look at things, Mrs. Cai had already gone back." Gongsun Xun took the initiative to ask, and Yu Fuluo's tone couldn't help but be a lot more compliant. "She told me not to tell the prince, just to leave two tips...... One is this, to be handed over to the prince; The other is to give it to his subordinates and others, and ask me to wait for this time to open it, and after dismantling it, I know that I want to give the prince a bag at this time and report the matter. ”

"What?" Gongsun Xun was just about to open it, but he was suddenly stunned, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.

"Mrs. Cai left us a clear letter in the bag, and she asked us to tell the prince." Yu Fuluo's tone was dry and difficult, as if he was a little afraid. "She didn't go home, but went to Hedong early in the morning, ready to find the old lady for an errand......"

"Why do you all go to Hedong one by one?" When Gongsun Xun heard that he was going to see his mother, he couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly, but felt that Cai Zhaoji was a little too active. However, when the person opened the bag in his hand and swept it slightly, the whole person was not good.

It turned out that in the bag, there was just a note, and the note was just a few lines of small words:

Since I was a child in Handan, I heard the demeanor of the eldest lady, and often thought about following the example of a woman, so as to leave a name for the world and comfort the world. However, confined to the family, thinking too much and not doing anything, confined to the troubled times, and doing more to no avail. Yesterday's events are divided into three parts of the father and three into the king, and then they are their own in the end. Today, I will go to Hedong, and I will not return, and if you have a little heart, you will not look for it.

Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and finally understood what the other party meant-he thought it was a beauty who threw himself into his arms, but unexpectedly it was a beauty who broke free and prostituted himself before leaving!

"Prince?" Everyone saw that Gongsun Xun didn't speak for a long time, and the Wang Cang brothers were still sitting there embarrassed, so they reminded him.

"Let ......" Gongsun Xun opened his mouth when he heard this, but halfway through his speech, he was stunned and stuck there, and it took a long time to recover. Where is Zhang Cheng? ”

"Prince." Zhang Cheng, who had just been included in the curtain, immediately stood up and responded.

"Let your brother be a matchmaker for me," Gongsun Xun raised the bag in his hand and said blankly. "Tell Cai Bojiao that his daughter was here with me yesterday, and since she is my wife, she will not fail her."

Like everyone else in the seat, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and then quickly nodded.

"And." Gongsun Xun waited for a moment, then turned his head again and pointed to Wang Cang, who was wearing a filial piety cloth and was short and ugly, and said to Jia Kui. "Wang Changshi and I have been old for many years, and now that he has died, his son is young and lonely, and I can't help but raise it myself...... But I don't have any family here, so it's not easy to deal with it, so you take someone back to Hedong, personally send him to see his mother, and by the way, ask Mrs. Cai if she has arrived in Hedong...... Do you understand? ”

Jia Kui knew it and immediately responded, but he didn't care.

After arranging two things, it seemed to be compensated, but it didn't seem to matter, Gongsun Xun was stunned, but suddenly got up: "If you don't take the initiative to do things in the world, you can only sit and lose the opportunity...... Zhicai, Gongda, and Yuan Chang, the list of the three of you that you will recommend is left, and I will observe...... But you might as well summon the ministers of the DPRK and China to make some preparations first, and the three of you will go to arrange it, and tomorrow I will have a big banquet on the banks of Weishui outside the city! ”

The subordinates naturally responded one after another, and then each said goodbye to do it.

And Gongsun Xun sat back in his seat with the bag in his hand, but he was still stunned.
