Xu Shu welcomed Jin Liang to the other side of the mountain gate, and when he saw that there was no one around, he began his discussion of the world: "Now today, the chaos is imminent, the Han family is withering, and the people are not living. The mediocre people all thought that it was caused by the first emperor's mediocre and ten permanent servants, but they didn't know that the actions of the first emperor and the ten permanent servants were all superficial. Not the root cause. ”

Jin Liang heard Xu Shu say this, and immediately looked at Xu Shu even more, not to mention the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in the harmonious years more than a thousand years later, there are still many people, and even some brick families call the beast dogma that the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is caused by Emperor Ling's favor and belief in the ten permanent servants, Jin Liang scoffs at this statement.

Jin Liang once again bowed: "I wish Wen Yuan to see it directly." ”

Xu Shu's face was as calm as water, but the things he narrated were turbulent: "A year ago, I was arrested and imprisoned by the government because of my friend's revenge and getting rid of local bullies. Later, I felt that relying only on personal swordsmanship was not enough to eradicate the injustices in the world, and it was not enough to punish the pests in the world, and seeing that the imperial court was becoming more and more corrupt, and the smoke was everywhere, I decided to abandon the military and follow the literature, master the ability to govern the country and use the army, and benefit the common people in the world, so I entered this Yingchuan Academy and worshiped Mr. Shuijing as a teacher. When my classmates learned that I had been banned by force, they didn't want to associate with me. So I went my own way, and I went my own way. Because I don't interact with people very much, I am on the outside, watching independently, and I have seen through a lot of the world. Most of the students of Yingchuan Academy come from big families, and they are deeply taught by their parents, and they all think that it is the alternating dictatorship of relatives and eunuchs, and the relatives are powerful and threaten the imperial power, and the emperor relies on the eunuchs to get rid of the power of relatives. I don't think so. The so-called relatives and eunuchs were nothing more than the emperor's right-hand man, and the emperor relied on this right-hand man to fight against another force that could oppose the imperial power. ”

Dian Wei listened to Xu Shu avenge his friend, and like his own situation, he couldn't help but be impressed by this white-faced boy: "Don't look at the thinness, you are also a good man with righteousness." ”

Chen Lin hurriedly asked, "Another force that is enough to fight against the imperial power?" Could it be the Taiping Road of the Yellow Turban Thief? ”

Xu Shu and Jin Liang shook their heads at the same time, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Jin Liang motioned for Xu Shu to continue.

Xu Shu looked in the direction of Luoyang City, shook his head and sighed: "The world thinks that the emperor is the respect of ten thousand people.

On the surface, the emperor was hollowed out by his relatives or eunuchs, but in fact, the power of his relatives and eunuchs was given by the emperor, and the wise relatives such as Wei Qing and others closely relied on the emperor, while the stupid relatives such as Wang Mang usurped the country and He Jin was gullible and worked against the emperor. And the eunuchs are even more closely dependent on the imperial power, even if the power is like ten permanent servants, it is also dependent on the trust of the first emperor to survive, once the first emperor died, the ten permanent servants suddenly became rootless.They said that they were heirlooms by learning from the scriptures, but in fact they relied on the shadow of their descendants and the ugliest protégé system of the Han Dynasty, they used their existing status to promote their descendants and protégés, and the protégés were loyal to them, and regarded the emperor's order as nothing. Those officials kept saying that they were loyal to the Han Dynasty and loyal to the emperor, but in fact they were really loyal to their family, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the people of the world for the prosperity of their family. They forcibly seized the fertile land, shielded the population, and refused to pay taxes, and over time, all the fertile land in the world was returned to the family, and the grass people who did not want to depend on them had no place to stand, and the population and land that the imperial court could collect taxes became less and less.

However, the imperial court had to distribute a large amount of money to these officials, to crusade against the Yellow Turbans and Xiqiang thieves, and to provide disaster relief and comfort to the people, and all of this required money and grain, and the money and grain had been mostly returned to the family, and the imperial treasury was empty.

The first emperor was helpless. I also saw that the officials were appointed outside the family. simply sell the official beard. to earn the money of those families to levy the Yellow Turbans and Xiqiang thieves. How could the family control public opinion, and the first emperor was discredited. ”

When Jin Liang heard Xu Shu say this, he remembered the bureaucratic group in a certain country and time and space that had no supervision, no control, officials protecting each other, buying and selling officials, businessmen and beasts attached to them, weaving each other into a huge vested interest group, and unscrupulously looting the people's fat and ointment, resulting in a situation where "all the people are suffering, only the bureaucrats are not suffering", and the hatred is so much that the steel teeth are about to be broken, and it seems that the political pattern has not changed significantly in the past thousands of years. It has always been the officials who bully the people and harm the people, and all the ideological and moral propaganda of the bureaucracy is to whitewash the peace and numb the people.

Jin Liang couldn't suppress his joy, he finally found a person to break the political endgame that has not been broken in the past two thousand years: "The world can be divided into three kinds of people, one is the royal family, one is the family officials, and the other is the Li people, the royal family wants the country to be stable and continue for generations, and the wise emperor and the relatives and eunuchs who are attached to the emperor do not want to harm the people too much, and will supervise and stop the insatiable greed of the family officials; And the officials of the family are for their own selfishness. They often ignore long-term interests and bully, harm and cripple the people. Seize the wealth of the people and dominate the land of the people, even if there are a number of families with a good reputation, they are also sanctimonious, and they have mastered the words of poetry and books, and they are familiar with how to deceive the superiors and subordinates; The Li people are all the people who are enslaved, oppressed and exploited in the world, because the family monopolizes culture and education, and the Li people have no opportunity to receive education, so they can only face the loess and turn their backs to the sky to dig in the soil, even so, the family is not willing to let them go, forcibly seize their fertile land, until they are willing to become the tenant slaves of the family. ”

Jin Liang thought of the Donglin Party and some other parties in later generations, the reason why they have always been able to shape themselves into a correct, glorious and great image is because they have mastered culture and education, and have mastered public opinion. It was precisely when the Manchu emperors saw the ability of these great families to distort the facts, that they set up a literary prison and completely beat the stinky mouths of those Qingliu scholars into flattering mouths.

In the harmonious years of later generations, many philistines thought that the central boss of the bureaucracy would rectify the rule of officials, and what would happen, but they did not know that in the harmonious years without the containment of imperial power, the bureaucracy was not supervised or restrained, and those nine-bag elders were all selected from the bureaucracy, and they were inextricably linked with the corrupt officials below, and their term of office was only ten years, so would they damage the interests of the small group that was close to them because of the interests of the people of the world who had nothing to do with them?

The official selection systems of the two planes are similar. During the Han Dynasty, the inspection system, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been manipulated and used by the gate valve family, they swayed the public opinion of the township at that time, and the so-called "filial piety" and "Maocai" of the inspection are all from the wealthy family. Look at the harmonious years, at that time, the official ape exam, the children of the poor family could enter the written examination but could not pass the interview, the "second generation of officials" and "the second generation of the rich" were successfully selected by virtue of their relationship, and it was indeed a small number of children from the poor family who were selected, just because the yamen needed someone to do practical things.

Compared with the government at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is very similar to the harmonious period, except that there is no emperor, and the so-called five hundred families rule China, which has been the same since ancient times.

Xu Shu has been nesting in this Yingchuan Academy for more than a year, and has seen through the high and useless children of the family, and because of the contempt and criticism of those children of the family for his poor background and chivalrous forbiddenness, he gradually has a different view of the family, the so-called "prince and general Xiangning has a kind of", he is a poor scholar born in troubled times, it is a great misfortune and a great luck, and he knows that he can't follow Xiao He and Han Xin to find a Ming Jun and assist him to overthrow the rule of the families.

Jin Liang admired the unique resentful youth in front of him in the Han Dynasty, and thought about it carefully, only Xu Shu's background and experience could give him insight into the harm of the family, and he could wholeheartedly support himself in implementing the century-old plan to weaken or eradicate the family.

An angry youth from the harmonious years of later generations, and the angry youth in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, found a common language.

Xu Shu listened to Jin Liang's analysis of the three classes in the world, and his evaluation of Lu Bu was a little higher, it turned out that Xu Shu just thought that Jin Liang was from a poor family and should be able to give himself a place to use, and would not be like those princes from big families who didn't care about themselves after knowing their origins and experiences. I never thought that Jin Liang also had such insight.

Xu Shu couldn't help but let go of the volume when he was overjoyed: "The general is very true!" The family is immortal. It's hard to get started! ”

That's when it happened. An angry voice came from the main entrance of Yingchuan Academy: "Yuan Zhi, why do you say such absurd words? Don't start hating the family because you have been treated coldly by the students of the family! The family is the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the family and the protégés of the former officials govern the place for the emperor, what's wrong, do you want to use those mud legs who don't know a big word to govern the place? ! Do you want those yellow turban thieves to rule the place?! The sound was higher than the other, and then it was a loud roar.

Jin Liang glanced at the person who came, and saw that he was about twenty-four or five years old. Dressed in a white robe, he was handsome and handsome, and he had the demeanor of a famous man, but he fell a little inferior because of his impatience.

Jin Liang asked Xu Shu: "I don't know who this is?" ”

Xu Shu looked at the other party coldly: "This is Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, his grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen, all of whom are famous in the world. This Yingchuan Academy also has a share of their Chen family.

Oh, it turned out to be the Chen Qun who presented the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" to provide the institutional basis for the family's rule in China.

Jin Liang's heart showed murderous intentions, but he said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Chen Changwen, who has been admired for a long time." ”

Chen Qun glanced at it, and immediately recognized that this was Jinliang, the general of Zhennan Jingzhou, although he was convinced of Xun Yu's vision and had no interest in taking refuge in Jin Liang, but he couldn't be rude to lose the face of the children of the family when he treated Jin Liang, so he gave a big salute: "Chen Qun has seen the general." The general saved the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, and Chen Liuwang, and made great contributions to Sheji, and Chen Qun deeply admired it. It's just the general's analysis of the world's classes, and Chen Qun doesn't dare to agree. ”

Although Jin Liang didn't have the slightest affection for the person in front of him in his heart, he pretended to be like a spring breeze on his face: "What is the high opinion of Changwen, and my conscience will listen to it." ”

After Chen Qun bowed his hand in the direction of Luoyang, Fang opened his mouth and said: "Since the establishment of the country in the Guangwu Emperor of this dynasty, thanks to the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and most of these twenty-eight people are from families, so the establishment of this dynasty depends on the children of the family. The appointment of officials in this dynasty implements the inspection system, and under the whole world, the generation of both ability and political integrity is mostly from the family, so the senior officials of the dynasty are also mostly from the family, and the official emperor is to herdify the people, and it can also be regarded as the emperor of the family to herdify the people. And I overthrew the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and the prosperity of Confucianism relied on the inheritance of the family. The emperor is the king, the family is the minister, if there is no minister, there is no king. All in all, if there is no family as the cornerstone of the country, how can the Han community be stable. The royal family wants to stabilize the country and continue for thousands of generations, how could the family have not been willing to inherit a hundred years of future generations, the so-called family is the inheritance of the family business from generation to generation, if as the general described so insatiable only know how to bully the people and harm the people, a generation will decline, and An can be a family. The general was very critical of the family's annexation of Tianmu, and in Chen Qun's opinion, this proposal was unreasonable. If those grass people do not have the protection of the family, they will be ruined because of the tyrannical expropriation of the first emperor, or they will die because of the thieves. The family has to be supported by them and serve the court, and the grass people have to be sheltered by the family and protect their lives, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, how to talk about bullying the people and harming the people, and what is the fault of annexing the acres of land? ”

Chen Qun said it conclusively, which seemed to be very reasonable, but in the eyes of Jin Liang, who was from a poor background and hated the rich and hated officials in both lives, he was vulnerable. Jin Liang has long been aware of the root cause of the "Five Hu Chaohua", and his prejudice against the family is deep-rooted. If the children of the family had a better attitude towards him, they might have improved Jin Liang's understanding of the family, but he had never been courteous by the family, so he naturally hated the family even more. There is even some fear.

Jin Liang knows the power of the family. Politically, economically, militarily and culturally. The family was a great threat to Jin Liang's future rule.

First of all, politically, the two Han Dynasty Chaju created some bureaucratic families, the hereditary bureaucracy of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the family monopoly of official positions have been very obvious, and at the same time have an inseparable connection with the central or local central power circle, such as the third prince of the fourth generation of the Yang family of Hongnong, the fourth and fifth princes of the Yuan family of Runan, and their protégés and former officials are all over the world, and the protégés and former officials are attached to the trend in order to become inflammatory. He did not hesitate to use the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, father and son, and even "the appearance of a doctor to attack the state of a concubine, or to bribe with goods to consolidate himself." ”

Economically, the great families possessed a large amount of land and labor, owned huge property, laid a solid foundation for their political position, and continued to expand and annex land in various ways, and then tied the personal freedom of the peasants to their own hands through the land, which provided an important foundation for their political position.

Militarily. In order to protect their own interests, the family has been engaged in various military operations. In particular, in the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, he took advantage of the disintegration of the central government to expand the private armed forces. Each family has a large number of subordinates, guests, and family soldiers, often ruling over thousands.

Culturally, the great clans had the privilege of influencing public opinion, such as figures like Zang Wei and propagating famous religions, all of which were controlled by the scholars, and they especially emphasized the Confucian ethics in order to maintain their status. In fact, the combination of Hao and Confucianism, and the Confucianization of Hao is the result of power, which is not the inevitable direction of the development of culture itself.

After thinking about it so much, Jin Liang knew that the family was powerful in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to recruit talents from the family, in order not to offend the family all over the world, he didn't want to let his hatred of the family spread all over the world, so he shook his head at Xu Shu, who still wanted to argue, Xu Shu saw Jin Liang's demeanor, so he was silent.

Jin Liang smiled at Chen Qun slightly, and said sophistically: "What Changwen said is extremely true, the family fruit is the mainstay of my Han court, I was born in a poor family, and I have many misunderstandings about the family Gaomen, today I listen to Chen Changwen's words, it is better to read ten years of books, and many years of confusion have been swept away, from now on, I will no longer treat the children of the family coldly, and I will respect the children of the family as if they were guests." Changwen, I was named the assassin of Jingzhou by the Queen Mother, how can I wither the talents under my command, and Jingzhou is in ruins, and there is a shortage of talents, Changwen is willing to work hard, for me Jingzhou to govern, for me to deal with Jingzhou political affairs? ”

Chen Qun and Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan are all close friends, seeing that Xun Yu and others met Jin Liang coldly, he was also not optimistic about Jin Liang, who was born in the rough martial arts of the Hanmen Shu clan, so he politely declined: "The general is kind, Chen Qun does not dare to refuse, how can the old father in the family be old, I want to be raised, I can't travel far, and I also ask the general to invite another talent." ”

Jin Liang didn't want to recruit this child of the family who was bent on seeking the interests of the family, but on the surface, he couldn't make a posture of "you don't want to do it, pull it down", for fear of losing a bad reputation of being jealous of the virtuous and energetic, so he had to put on a posture of being thirsty for talent and a corporal of courtesy, and repeatedly persuaded Chen Qun to go to Jizhou, but was repeatedly rejected by Chen Qun.

Just when Jin Liang was a little unable to get off the stage, a clear and somewhat lazy voice suddenly sounded: "Changwen doesn't want to go to Jingzhou, why don't I go and give it a try." It's just that I don't know if there is me Guo Fengxiao in the general's book of talents? ”

Jin Liang looked at it, a young scholar about twenty years old pushed the door out, slender, with a clear and handsome face, clear and deep eyes, wearing a green robe, his hair was scattered, and there was a trace of wine in his mouth, it turned out that he was Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao.

Chen Qun glanced at Guo Jia: "The thin prodigal son is not enough to plan!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

When Jin Liang saw Guo Jia, he was overjoyed, he didn't care about Chen Qun's departure at all, and stepped forward to give Guo Jia a salute: "Fengxiao, I came to Yingchuan Academy this time, first, to visit Mr. Shuijing, and secondly, to find Yuanzhi and you." You and Yuan Zhi are both among the strategists in my meritocracy. But I don't know how you learned that I had a meritorious book. ”

In Jin Liang's impression, he only told Chen Lin about the merit book.

Guo Jia glanced at Chen Lin and said with a low smile: "I can't hide it." One of the general's guards was originally a servant of my family, and the general was overheard by the guard when he was talking to Brother Kong Zhang. Send a Pegasus to report to me. ”

When Jin Liang heard Guo Jia say this, Jin Ling shivered, and his hairs stood up, the guards under his command turned out to be spies planted by others, if the guards were ordered by the master to assassinate me, what should I do.

Thinking of this, Jin Liang narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Feng Xiao, I wonder how your servant became my personal guard?" ”

Guo Jia was not afraid of Jin Liang's murderous aura, and smiled faintly: "Many years ago, Zhang Jiao's rebels were wiped out, and everyone in the world thought that the world was about to be politically connected, but I had a premonition that the world was in turmoil, I knew that the importance of intelligence was more important than everything, and I was dissatisfied with the simple information from the Yingchuan officials from Luoyang City, I wanted to report it more deeply, concretely, and secretly, so I removed the servants from the family as people, and put them in Luoyang, or as high-ranking officials and slaves, or as sergeants in the army, I scattered all my family wealth, and gave them the property, and asked for nothing else. but let them pass on to me the secret things of the city on time. After one of my servants left the country as a citizen, it happened that the fifth battalion of the Northern Army had to recruit troops in the Sili area due to the loss of more than half of the Yellow Turban thieves, and the servant was selected into the Northern Army as a good son, and later the general reorganized the five battalions of the Northern Army, and the servant was selected into the general's Red Loyal Guard with his superb martial arts. ”

Jin Liang recalled Dian Wei: "Summoning all the Red Loyal Guards to come. ”

Dian Wei understood what Jin Liang meant, and after making a promise, he ran down the mountain like a galloping horse.

Guo Jia looked at the back of Dian Wei rushing down the mountain, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really ancient." ”

Jin Liang was stunned: "Isn't it the evil of the ancients?" Who is Lian Lian? ”

The knowledgeable Chen Lin saw Jin Liang's doubts and hurriedly said: "Historical Records. Qin Benji records, 'Evil comes from evil, evil comes powerfully, and good goes, and father and son are both good at work. 'Fei Lian, the virgin father, born with fast thighs, running fast as the wind, traveling thousands of miles a day, eight hundred at night, just like the legendary wind god 'Fei Lian', so it is also called Fei Lian, Feng Xiao is to praise Dian Wei is good at walking. ”

Jin Liang felt very funny, he just praised Dian Wei as if he was evil, Guo Jia praised Dian Wei as if he was evil to his father, fortunately Dian Wei had run away, otherwise he would have to make him unconscious.After a while, the hundred guards of the Red Loyal Guards were lined up on the side of the main gate of Yingchuan Academy, and Jin Liang did not speak, but just scanned the hundred Red Guards back and forth with his eyes, his eyes were cold and murderous.

Guo Jia couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, so he shouted: "Guo Tong, come out." ”

Guo Tong walked out of the queue and knelt down in front of Lu Bu: "The villain deceived the new master for the old master, and he is very guilty in his heart, and he is willing to listen to the general's military law." ”

Jin Liang saw that he knelt down in front of him instead of Guo Jia, the anger in his heart had been reduced a little, and he wanted to give Guo Jia some face, so he asked Dian Wei to help Guo Tong up, and said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Presumably Feng Xiao deliberately said it to me, so that I can be vigilant and be careful?" ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "In order to maintain the royal family and compete for military power, the general has offended Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the Yuan brothers have raised countless dead soldiers, Yuan Shu is chivalrous and chivalrous, and he likes to use assassins to kill political enemies the most." The general is brave and brave, light and unprepared, in case Qingji is stabbed by leaving, who will take care of the safety of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven? ”Jin Liangrin and taught. Guo Jia also said: "There are five uses in the Art of War: there are causes, there are inside, there are reactions, there is death, and there is life. The five rooms are all up, I don't know the way, it is called the god era, and the treasure of the human king. Those in the countryside use it because of their countrymen; those who are in the middle are used by their officials; Those who oppose it are used because of their enemies; Those who die, for the sake of telling the outside world, let me know about it and spread it among the enemy; Those who are alive will also be repaid. Guo Tong is just a countryman, and what he has done is not a big problem to the general, so the general might as well forgive him. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile on the side: ""Sun Tzu's Art of War" is also cloudy, 'Those who hear about things before they happen will occasionally die with the person who is accused.'" 'Bong-hyo, you can't escape the involvement?' ”

Jin Liang waved his hand: "Yuan Zhi, don't play." I have fully understood the meaning of filial piety, I originally attached great importance to the detailed work, how can no one under my command operate this matter, if the filial piety is willing to follow me, I will be entrusted with the detailed work. ”

A smile flashed across Guo Jia's face, and he disappeared in an instant, he didn't seem to care about Jin Liang's recruitment just now, but turned to Jin Liangdao: "Guo Jia dares to ask the general's ambition?" (To be continued.) )

ps: Big chapter day 2, sorry for being a little late today!
