Chapter 73: Zhang Zhan is the matchmaker
"Student Zhang Zhan meets Mr."
When he came to the gate of the academy where Guo Yu taught, he saw the teacher Guo Yu, and Zhang Zhan was very respectful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Yu is a famous Confucian in Hexi, and there are more than 1,000 disciples before and after, of which there are more than 80 people who are highly educated
In Hexi, almost every family has a child of the clan, who once sat down in Guo Yu to listen to the teachings.
"It turned out to be Zhong Xuan, are your parents okay?" Seeing the visit of his proud son Zhang Zhan, Guo Yu was very happy.
Among the disciples he taught, except for Liu Xin, who was still studying in front of him because he was young, Zhang Zhan was the most valued by him.
First, Zhang Zhan is profoundly knowledgeable and writes good articles; Second, Zhang Zhan is smart and changeable, not pedantic.
"Mr. Xie asked, both parents are okay."
"The world has not been peaceful lately, so don't fall behind in your homework."
"The students follow the teachings of the master."
"Why did you come here today?"
Zhang Zhan hesitated again and again, finally gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly: "The student Wen Teacher has a young daughter, who has just passed the age of Lu and has not yet married someone. I came here today to propose marriage to the teacher on behalf of others. ”
"Propose? Who proposed? Why didn't your parents come? ”
Guo Yu was confused by Zhang Zhan's words, the ancients paid attention to the words of the matchmaker and the life of the parents.
If the Zhang family really proposes marriage, it should be Zhang Zhan's elders who come, and it will not be Zhang Zhan's turn to come forward.
"Mr. misunderstood, the student is not proposing marriage for himself, but on behalf of others." Zhang Zhan hurriedly explained.
"Others? Who are you going to propose? ”
"It is the Western Regions that guards the capital and guards the capital."
Hearing this, Guo Yu suddenly had a beard, and pointed at Zhang Zhan angrily: "What?!" You repeat? ”
"Sir, don't be angry, and let the students tell you in detail."
It's a pity that Guo Yu didn't give Zhang Zhan a chance to explain at all, and said with a mouth full of foam: "As a child of the family, shouldn't you know that Wei Shuo is the sworn enemy of the family?" ”
"Students know."
"Since you know, then the old man will ask you again, who forced the families to hand over their fields and tribes?"
"It's the guardian."
"Who made the families infamous and cursed by the people pointing at their backbones?"
"It's still the guard."
"If you know everything, why do you dare to ask for him to marry?"
Looking at the most desirable disciple, Guo Yu was puzzled, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Did Wei Shuo send someone to threaten the Zhang family?" “
"You tell the teacher, if it is really the surname Wei who is strong and dares to force the Zhang family, the old man will have to make him pay the price even if he risks his life."
"The teacher is calm, no one forces the students, everything is voluntary for the students."
"Zhong Xuan, why are you like this?"
Seeing that the teacher Guo Yu was heartbroken, Zhang Zhan felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he knew that he had made the right choice.
It is necessary to facilitate the reconciliation between the family and Wei Shuo as soon as possible, because this is not only to help Wei Shuo gain a foothold in Hexi, but also to find a way out for the family.
At the beginning, when the Zhang family handed over the family land and tribes, Zhang Zhan also hated Wei Shuo to the core, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But later, when he calmed down and carefully studied every policy implemented by Wei Shuo, he gradually realized the true power of Wei Shuo.
Wei Shuo has been running towards the goal of unifying the world from the very beginning, and he doesn't want to become a hero like Zhang Liang and Lu Guang.
And Zhang Zhan believes that as long as Wei Shuo adheres to the established policy unwaveringly, it may be difficult at first, but as long as he persists, after five or even ten years, there will be no one in the world to compete with him.
Just like the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, it will only become stronger step by step and finally complete the great cause of unification.
Zhang Zhan himself is also a young talent with great ambitions, after seeing Wei Shuo have a great future, he did not hesitate to let go of the hatred in his heart, regardless of the repeated dissuasion of the family elders, and resolutely took refuge in the family's sworn enemy-Wei Shuo.
However, even if he chooses Wei Shuo, Zhang Zhan cannot completely abandon his family.
His first plan for Wei Shuo was to marry Guo Yu, which was a crucial step for the reconciliation between the two parties and laid the foundation for the rise of the family in the future.
"Mr. is also a well-educated person, students dare to ask Mr., put aside all distracting thoughts and prejudices, you ask yourself, is there any hope to end the current troubled times and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world?"
Zhang Zhan's torture hit Guo Yu's heart like a hammer, making him feel painful.
Eventually, his lips opened several times, but he couldn't argue with anything.
"In this way, it seems that even the teacher agrees with Wei Duhu from the bottom of his heart, and it is only because he took away the family's land by forceful means that the teacher is angry."
"Teacher, on this point, the student has to say a fair word for Wei Duhu."
"If it weren't for the family's insistence on not accepting new policies such as the Juntian system, he probably wouldn't have resorted to violent means."
"And the policies implemented by the Weidu Protectorate are more deeply supported by the common people at the bottom, and this is one of the reasons why the family hates them."
"Because the people's hearts and public opinions, which have always been manipulated by the family, are no longer under our control, the family has become a national thief that everyone shouts and beats in the mouths of the common people."
As soon as he heard the word national thief, Guo Yu suddenly shuddered, and he seemed to remember the scene of being pointed at his nose and scolded by thousands of ordinary people in front of the Assassin's Mansion that day.
That scene was really unforgettable for him, Guo Yu never thought that his image in the eyes of the people at the bottom was so unbearable.
"Teacher, now it is the general trend for Wei Duhu to take charge of Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties, and it doesn't matter if there is a family to cooperate or not."
"But after all, the student is from a family, how can he watch the family decline step by step?"
"Will the family decline? Hum! Brag unblushingly. Guo Yu finally found a vent point for counterattack.
"Ho-ho, does the teacher think the student is alarmist?"
With a few wry smiles, Zhang Zhan explained: "The teacher has never been in contact with Wei Duhu, and he has no idea what he has done in Gaochang in the past two years. ”
"He even mentioned the Juntian system and the slave release order, what dare not do anything?"
"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed bold, Wei Duhu wants to complete the great cause of educating all the people that even Confucius can't do."
"He is in Gaochang Daxing School, from Mongolian School, Primary School, to Higher School, all levels of schools are all over Gaochang."
"As long as the children of the common people are of the right age, they must go to school."
Knowing that Wei Shuo vigorously promoted education in Gaochang, Guo Yu's face, which had been tense, finally changed slightly.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Wei Shuo, who had a reputation for tyranny in his eyes, would attach so much importance to education.
"Teacher, in another year or two, when the first batch of students trained by the academy become talents, Wei Duhu will completely get rid of the shackles of the family and soar to the sky."
"Could it be that what he said in the Assassin's Mansion that day was true?" Guo Yu's face was ugly, and he muttered to himself.
"The reason why students ignore their families' obstacles and take refuge in Weidu is that they don't want the century-old family to collapse."
"Maybe the teacher thinks the student is exaggerating, but as long as the teacher pays attention to Gaochang, he will know that what the student says is not a lie."
Next, Zhang Zhan began to persuade Guo Yu bitterly, explaining the policies that are being implemented and will be implemented such as the imperial examination system one by one.
"The imperial examination system? What is the imperial examination system? ”
"The imperial examination system was also proposed by Lord Wei to replace the probationary examination system, which has become unbearable."
"The imperial examination system, as the name suggests, is the imperial examination. Specifically, the government will hold the exam in a unified manner, and then students from all over the world can sign up for it, regardless of their background. ”
"As long as you are admitted, you can become an official, which is stronger than the probation system, and expands the scope of talent recruitment. In particular, the majority of talents from poor families have a way to enter. ”
"In this way, if the family insists on uncompromising, Wei Shuo will still be able to gather enough talents by relying on the imperial examination system in the future?"
"Isn't it? Wei Duhu can still succeed without relying on the family, but it may be difficult in the first few years, but as long as he survives this difficult period in front of him, no one can stop him from rising in the northwest in the future. ”
"When the time comes, when we face the protection of the capital like the sky, where should the Hexi family go?"
"Yes...... Yes, yes. Guo Yu didn't know what to say for a while.
"Teacher, as long as you agree to marry, the student is willing to intercede in front of Wei Duhu for the family and ask him to give the family some compensation, do you think it's okay?"
"Humph! Land is the lifeblood of the family, and what compensation can appease everyone? ”
"It's not a matter of worrying about the teacher, everything is handled by the students."
