Chapter 530: From the ancestors downwards have to be explained
Zhong Yu, the current head of the Zhong family of the Changshe, did not dare to slack off after receiving a report from the servants in the house, and came out of the house to greet Fu Quan, and at this time, Fu Quan also came to the Zhong family lobby with several young people who had just gone out to confirm their identities.
"I've seen Fu Pingkou!" Zhong Yu led a group of Zhong clansmen who were still in the mansion at the moment and rushed to hear the news, and saluted together. Although the Zhong family is a big family in Yingchuan, and the family has been out of Zhong Hao, one of the "Four Elders of Yingchuan", but limited by the disaster of the party, it has always been the same as other Yingchuan clans, very low-key, even if the party has been dissolved now, but in the face of the foreign strong dragon in the city of Changshe, the local snake still has to bow its head, after all, the strength is not as good as others, they dare not guarantee that after offending Fuquan, the other party will not do something unreasonable.
"Hmm!" Fu Quan bowed his head, and then glanced slightly at the Zhong clan in front of him, who was about fifty years old, more than seven feet long, with upright facial features, three locks of long beards, and his body unnaturally revealed the elegance of a literati, and the appearance of a person from a big clan. However, Fu Quan didn't remember that this guy was famous in history, and judging that he could become the patriarch of the Zhong clan, he should have some talent and ability.
Glancing at Fu Quan and seeing that his face was as usual, Zhong Yu couldn't understand Fu Quan's intention and asked, "The cold night is cold, why don't you go to the house?" ”
"I want it!"
"Please!"
Zhong Yu led Fuquan and his party to the lobby first, and the Zhong clan followed, and many of the young children of the Zhong clan looked at Fuquan's young face one by one, pointing at Fuquan's back.
"Yuan Chang, what do you want when this Fuliuchuan comes here?"
"I don't know, I just hope this is not a disaster."
"It doesn't matter, now it's different from the past, the party has been removed, with the strength of my Zhong clan, the Yellow Turban thieves will be quelled, and all the elders in the clan will be able to ascend to a high position, if this Fuliuchuan really wants to move the Zhong clan, you have to weigh a few points!"
The young men are talking in various private words, and there are many girls who are also whispering, but different topics are different from men, probably I have heard a lot of deeds of people of the same age as Fuquan, and they blushed in private to talk about the story of the young celebrity.
There are many young girls with spring hearts, and they all fantasize in their hearts that they can have some unspeakable stories with Fuquan, after all, for these women who are just starting to fall in love, talented heroes have always been their first love in their hearts, but they understand that as children of the Yingchuan Shi clan, what they think will probably never happen.
When I arrived at the lobby, there were only a few old men in their forties left in the house, all of whom were famous elders of the Zhong family. Think about it, although Fuquan is young, but the identity is different after all, if you let some young people who have never seen the world come to receive you at this moment, it will undoubtedly be a bit of a loss of etiquette.
Later, after Zhong Yu, the head of the Zhong family, introduced himself, Fu Quan met several people in the hall under the introduction of Zhong Yu. The previous few people guessed the same as Fu Quan, they were all the elders of the Zhong family.
"I don't know what happened to Pingkou this time?" The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, although Zhong Yu didn't know this sentence, he also understood that Fuquan would definitely not say it to him when he came to Zhong Mansion this time, just take a look, after all, I haven't heard of a general who is still fighting, and he will go to a stranger's mansion at night when he has nothing to do.
Pretending to be silent, Fu Quan smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, Lone came here this time, just to ask the Zhong family to send one or two handsome men to help Lone Ping thief!" ”
"A thief?" Zhong Yu was surprised, glanced at Fuquan, who looked serious, obviously didn't believe what the other party said, and politely refused: "Back to Pingkou, there are very few children of the Zhong family in the Changshe Society, and I am afraid that there is no one who agrees with Pingkou's heart." ”
This can be said to be a merciless rejection of Fu Quan's request, Fu Quan did not laugh angrily, if the Zhong family could agree to himself so easily, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of the Ru Ying clan. And Zhong Yu said it so tactfully, in fact, it also gave Fuquan a lot of face, after all, don't forget, Fuquan was angry with the Yuan family in the court several times back then, and in the Ruying area, there is no doubt that the Yuan family in Runan is a well-deserved boss, if the people of the Yuan family know that the Zhong family was ordered so easily by Fuquan, then how can the Zhong family stay in the Ruying area?
However, since he came, Fuquan would not return empty-handed, he looked at Zhong Yu so straightly, and after seeing the other party's scalp numb, he suddenly said: "Now that the country has demon thieves, the world is in trouble, the society is like the danger of tired eggs, and the common people have the pain of hanging upside down, and the soldiers who come and go to Yingchuan are all guest soldiers from other counties, and they don't know the road. It's really in vain! ”
The words came out, which directly made several Zhong elders in the hall look sideways, but it was difficult to refute, they couldn't say that what Fu Quan said was right, in that case, wouldn't they admit that their Changshe Zhong family was famous?
As for the Lin Shuchang mentioned in Fuquan's words, he refers to Zhong Hao, who is the top figure in the same county of the Han Dynasty with Xun Shu, Han Shao, and Chen Yu, and is called the four chiefs of Yingchuan. Among them, the people of the time called Xun Shu as Dangtu Chang, Han Shao as Ying Chang, Chen Yu as Taiqiu Chang, and Zhong Hao as Lin Shu Chang. As a descendant of the Zhong family of the long society who was proficient in criminal law for generations, Zhong Hao was known for his honesty and honesty when he was young, and the government once recruited him continuously, but because Zhong Hao's second brother did not become an official, he refused, and later he simply lived in seclusion in Mishan, lectured on poetry and rhythm, and taught more than 1,000 students.
"The difference between what Ping Kou said, the previous Changshe was trapped by thieves, and the servants led by my Zhong clan to help the right Zhonglang defend the city, which is the most important of the Changshe, how can Ping Kou be slandered?" Zhong Yu retorted, and then pretended to be serious: "Since Pingkou is very optimistic about the Zhong family, the Zhong family will not shirk it, so I will recommend a few people to Pingkou......"
As he spoke, Zhong Yu said the names of several people in a row, but Fu Quan was not interested at all when he heard it, the reason was very simple, he had never heard of any of the names of these Zhong clansmen.
Originally, Fuquan thought that this was because of the large number of talents in the Zhong family of Changshe, so there were many capable people in their clan, and naturally Fuquan didn't know many people. However, as Zhong Yu finished speaking, when Fu Quan didn't hear Zhong Xuan's name, his face was extremely gloomy, if Zhong Xuan couldn't enter the list of the Zhong family of the Changshe, it would really be an international joke.
I saw that Fu Quan snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Lonely outside the city of Changshe, fighting with the thieves, I heard that Zhong Yuanchang of the Changshe is extraordinary in appearance and intelligent, I don't know if Mr. can cut his love, let him be in chaos with loneliness, and when the thieves in Yingchuan are determined, he will be made home." ”
After speaking, Fuquan Tiger opened his eyes, as if he had arrogant killing intent, which directly made the Zhong family's lobby cold, and the Zhong elders present were shocked by the momentum that the young man suddenly showed in front of him. At this moment, among them, some people remembered that this person was stained with the blood of a lot of Hu people, and for this reason, they also joined the propaganda array under the instructions of some people, but they did not expect that they would have to face it today.
"Yuan Chang?" Zhong Yu muttered a few words in his mouth, and then looked at Fu Quan angrily, but he did not refuse again, because at this moment he had already guessed Fu Quan's intention today, in order to recruit his nephew who could become an official after the party was lifted, and it was also the hope of the new generation of young people of the Zhong family of their Changshe Society.
Of course, since the party has been lifted, and Fuquan is going to temporarily recruit Zhong Xuan into the army, it is obviously an opportunity for Zhong Xuan, a young man in his prime of life, after all, as long as he follows Fuquan to make meritorious contributions, and re-enters the army in the future, the starting point is definitely not low.
It's just that Zhong Yu still has concerns, one of which is naturally the dislike of the Ruying clan for their relatives, and even the court battle between the Yuan clan and the Fu clan, which prompted Zhong Yu not to agree; The second is naturally a matter of career, today's Zhong Xuan was conquered by Fuquan, there is no doubt that he and Fuquan have a relationship, although the two are not the main ministers, but it will make Zhong Xuan's career marked with a layer of Fuquan's brand, which has always been the head of the Ru Ying clan, the Changshe Zhong clan dominated by the Yuan clan in Runan, is undoubtedly not a good result, after all, once the Yuan family knows, it will definitely increase the contradiction between the two.
However, the situation is stronger than people, Zhong Yu can't figure out Fuquan's way, and he doesn't have many reliable reasons to refuse, so he finally agreed to Fuquan's request and ordered someone to invite his beloved nephew Zhong Xuan.
said that he loved his nephew, and he didn't need it at all, in fact, Zhong Miao was already extraordinary and intelligent when he was a child, but because his grandfather Zhong Di was not official because of the party, Zhong Miao also knew that it was difficult to be an official, so he abandoned his studies.
Later, Zhong Yu and his uncle Zhong Yu went to Beijing to Luoyang together, and met a face-to-face person on the way, and when the face-to-face person saw Zhong Yu's appearance, he said to Zhong Yu: "This child has a noble appearance, but when he is in trouble, try to be cautious!" The words of the person who met did not attract Zhong Yu's attention at the beginning, even if the other party had reminded Zhong Yu that Zhong Yu had a rich face, but there would be the bad luck of being flooded, so let them walk carefully.
As a result, after walking less than ten miles, when crossing the bridge, the horse that Zhong Xiang was riding suddenly panicked, and Zhong Xiang was overturned into the water and almost drowned in the water. And because of this, Zhong Yu was shocked when he saw the fulfillment of the fortune teller's words, and he admired Zhong Yu more and more, and even provided him with money, and often taught him, so that he could concentrate on learning, which can be said to be really like a parent.
Therefore, Zhong Yu is very fond of Zhong Xuan, and even when he can't go out of office due to the party, Zhong Yu has high hopes for him. Because Zhong Yu knew that the party would definitely be lifted, even if the emperor would not agree, but their party people in the world would have to force him to agree.
Otherwise, if these scholar families will never be able to become officials, then the fate of the waiting family will only be dilapidated, which will not be allowed by all the scholar families in the world.
Just like in the second year of Guanghe, Shanglu County Magistrate He Hai wrote to the emperor at that time: "Etiquette, from the ancestral brothers, don't live in a different wealth, the kindness and righteousness have been light, and the obedience is sparse." Nowadays, the party members and the five ethnic groups are obedient to the text of the precepts, and there is a common law. ”
The meaning of the admonition is that according to the system of etiquette, the brothers who are different from their great-grandfathers have lived separately, and the family wealth has been separated, and the kindness and affection have been very light, and in terms of mourning clothes, they are nothing more than estranged families. Today, the imprisonment of party members has been extended to such alienated relatives, which is not in line with the ancient rules and regulations, nor is it in line with normal laws and regulations.
At that time, the emperor Liu Hong woke up after seeing the chapter, and the confinement of the party members was lifted from the uncle and grandfather down, although there was the credit of Hehai, but there was also the result that they were affected by the party and the children of the clan could not contribute to the promotion of the officials. And coincidentally, Zhong Yu was able to serve as the head of the Zhong family of the Changshe today, that is, because he was relieved of the party from his uncle and grandfather, so that he was spared, and relied on his family relationship to become an official in the county office, and then retired, otherwise with the talent reserve of the Zhong family, it would not be Zhong Yu's turn to be the head of the family.
Otherwise, with the emperor's temperament, he must be eager for all the families of the party members who have been against him, and the descendants of them will not be able to be officials, how can it be possible to let go of the party and let the party be removed from the uncle and grandfather down?
It's not because the emperor can't withstand the pressure of the foreign dynasty and releases an opening. It's just that, obviously, this opening is obviously not enough for them and the party people, and they need more.
Therefore, they have been preparing for a long time, and even did not hesitate to destroy their original interests, which contributed to this Yellow Turban Rebellion. After all, without their help, just relying on Zhang Jiao's demagogic tricks, where would he have so much money and food to prepare for this long-planned rebellion?
It must be known that before the Zhang Jiao rebellion, there were hundreds of thousands of loyal believers in Taiping Dao in the world, and without their help, these hundreds of thousands of landless people who did not produce would have starved to death long ago, how could they still organize a riot? Even Zhang Jiao was arrested for rebellion before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but he was finally exonerated unscathed, and without the help of these scholars, Liu Hong would not have been able to really pardon this person.
In the end, the result of this chaos, although the losses of all families and clans were great, were undoubtedly worth the losses. Because, they have lifted the party shackles, and as long as the party shackles are lifted, their family elites will once again re-enter the political arena of the Han Kingdom, and they will have other ways to make up for those losses.
After all, at any time, power is obviously more important than profit, and power will be beneficial. This is also the reason why since the Later Han Dynasty, between the party and the imperial power, has been fighting for the right to rule the empire in the court, and the consequences are also obvious, after the party seized power, the central government's control over the local area weakened, on the contrary, after the imperial power seized power, while increasing the local control, it also greatly limited the collusion of the party henchmen.
In the second year of Guanghe, Shanglu Changhe Haihai said: "Li, from the ancestral brothers, don't live in a foreign wealth, the kindness and righteousness have been light, and the service belongs to the end." Nowadays, the party members and the five ethnic groups are obedient to the text of the precepts, and there is a common law. "The emperor has realized that the party has to be explained since the ancestors.
"Since the chapter and the future, there are often endless people who have good deeds. Such as Lu Gong, Wu You, Liu Kuan and Yingchuan four chiefs, and with benevolence and sincerity, so that people do not deceive. Li Xian's note: "Xun Shu is the chief of Tu, Han Shao is the chief of Ying, Chen Yu is the chief of Taiqiu, and Zhong Hao is the chief of Lin Xi. Shu and others are all Yingchuan people.
Zhong Haozi Ji Ming, Yingchuan Changshe is also. For the surname of the county, the world is good at criminal law. Hao Shao is known as a dudest, the public mansion is even opened, for the second brother is not a scholar, avoiding the secret mountain, and teaching more than 1,000 disciples with poetry and rhythm...... Sixty-nine years old, finally home. Hao's second son, Di, and the party. Grandson of Tsu Zedi. Excerpt from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty
Zhong Xuan's character is often Yuanchang, and Yingchuan Changshe is also a person. Taste and clan father Yu to Luoyang, the Taoist encounter, said: "This child has a noble appearance, but when the water is miserable, try to be cautious!" "Walking less than ten miles, the bridge, the horse was frightened, and he fell into the water and died. Yu to the words of the people, the benefit of the noble, and the supply of tariffs, so that the specialization. Excerpt from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
