Chapter 512: Xun Yu's Intention (II)
When Xun Yu thought of his eldest nephew, he knew that this time the cooperation with Liu Xin was as stable as Mount Tai, after all, in Xun Yu's opinion, his eldest nephew was almost the same as himself in terms of talent and resourcefulness, if it weren't for the side branch of the Xun family's lineage where his eldest nephew was located, the ranking was relatively low, and the Xun family would not let his eldest nephew use it as the biggest weight to talk about cooperation with Liu Xin.

Of course, before Xun Yu came to Liu Xin today, he chatted with his eldest nephew for a while, knowing that his eldest nephew was very willing to serve under Liu Xin, because it was still the same sentence, even if it was a first-class family like the Xun family, although there were many channels for its family members to want to become famous, but like the highest level of "filial piety", it was also a very cherished resource, which was basically reserved for core members like Xun Yu, so like Xun Yu's eldest nephew, can only rely on the recruitment of a certain high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, and this kind of official channel will always give people a sense of admiration, and it is more likely to be criticized, just like Yuan Shu, the children of a family who do not learn and have no skills, basically officially became officials from this channel, so the reputation in one aspect is not good.
Therefore, Xun Yu still remembers that this morning, his eldest nephew said to himself very solemnly, hoping that he can reach a cooperation with Liu Xin on behalf of the Xun family, so that he can serve under Liu Xin and complete a career, after all, although Liu Xin's side is also considered a "self-made", everything starts from scratch, but like Xun Yu's eldest nephew, he can take the "dragon gong", and many may be able to take over the position of Yizhou Thorn History in the future, whether it is for himself or for the family, All are a good result.
Of course, Xun Yu also knows that he is now "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard", after all, Liu Xin's tone is indeed a lot looser now, Xun Yu believes that as long as he tells Liu Xin about the ability of his eldest nephew, then Liu Xin will definitely be very satisfied with the conditions proposed by the Xun family. . . However, Xun Yu is a little worried now that the Xun family where he is located wants Liu Xin to help, it seems that there are still some lions who have opened their mouths...
But now, Xun Yu knows that now is not the time to hesitate, and he must persuade Liu Xin in one go.
Thinking of Xun Yu here, he took a deep breath and said to Liu Xin seriously: "Lord Wang, let's talk about what our Xun family wants you to do, that is, I hope that Lord Wang, you can support your father to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou." ”
After Liu Xin heard the conditions proposed by the Xun family, he couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the Xun family to put forward such conditions.
Yanzhou is in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty in order to strengthen the centralization, so the world Kyushu was redivided into 14 states, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty in order to be more in line with the situation at that time, so the 14 states were changed to 13 states, at this time Yanzhou absorbed the Shuofang area, forming today's Yanzhou, today's Yanzhou is in Changyi, under the jurisdiction of Chenliu, Dongjun, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Shanyang, Jiyang, Dongping eight counties, roughly in the western part of present-day Shandong and eastern Henan, but also the first territory of Cao Cao in history, and the land of development.
However, if Liu Xin is not mistaken, Xun Yu's father is now serving as the minister of Jinan in Qingzhou, and this position is also Cao Cao's position after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was also promoted to the minister of Jinan, I have to say that Xun Yu is really related to Cao Cao, but then again, I have to mention the position of "phase" here.
Although during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advocated cutting the feudal domain and weakening the rights of the Han vassal kings, but for various reasons, the subsequent emperors of the Han Dynasty did not completely abolish the nominal kingdoms of these vassal kings, so in the Central Plains Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other states have all kinds of kingdoms, and there are also some hereditary two-character kings, just like the nominal ruler of Jinan is still Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang.
Of course, the kings of these kingdoms are just some nominal princes, because in the Western Han Dynasty, a law began to be implemented, that is, in the case of the king of Jinan, the king can only be a subject and cannot govern the people, simply put, the real power of the kingdom is not in the hands of the king, but in the hands of the minister directly appointed by the court, the minister here is equivalent to the Taishou in other places, and the king here does not dare to provoke the minister of state, just like when Cao Cao was the minister of Jinan, At that time, there were more than ten counties under the country of Jinan, and most of the officials in each county were dependent on the nobles, that is, they followed the king of Jinan to bend the law for bribes, without scruples, and the successive ministers before Cao Cao were ignored (which should also include Xun Yu's father), as a result, Cao Cao vigorously rectified after he arrived, and the county order of the ten counties of Jinan was once "exempted from its eight", so "the traitor fled, and the Shao realm was solemn", and at this time the king of Jinan did not take any action, which shows that these Han clan relatives who nominally control the kingdom, But even a minister of average origin didn't dare to provoke.
Then again, it stands to reason that Xun Yu's father is now the prime minister of Jinan, and according to his qualifications and background, he wants to compete for the position of Yanzhou Assassin History, Liu Xin thinks that this is probably a bit too big, after all, Yanzhou is handed over to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and Yanzhou can also be said to be the state with the strongest literary atmosphere among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the position of Yanzhou Assassin has always been a piece of fat in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, as long as it is a qualified and capable family, they will strive to let their people get the position of Yanzhou Assassin, so the competition for the position of Yanzhou Assassin has always been very fierce, and a family like the Xun family that is biased towards the power of scribes, the competition for this official position must be very limited...
Therefore, Liu Xin can be regarded as a little self-aware, although Liu Xin's identity and status are very high now, but to be honest, Liu Xin also knows that he can provide very limited help in the open and secret struggle for such an important official position, at most, he is just waving the flag on the side, and cannot provide any substantive help.
Therefore, Liu Xin can be sure that Xun Yu, or the Xun family, should know this truth, but now that the Xun family still insists on cooperating with him, it means that the Xun family should have some other means to obtain the position of Yanzhou Assassin.
So, thinking of this, Liu Xin said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Oh, Brother Wenruo, you should also know the current situation of this king, in this matter, the most is to strengthen your father's momentum, and you can't provide effective help to your father, this king thinks you should be very clear, but you still want this king to help your father, so you can tell this king, what kind of hole cards does your Xun family have?" Brother Wenruo, you should also know that if this king decides to fight for your father for the position of Yanzhou Assassin to stand on the platform, if Brother Wenruo and your father lose, then the reputation of this king will also be seriously affected, so please also ask Brother Wenruo to tell the truth to this king, if this king feels that there is a success rate of more than fifty percent, then this king will help your Xun family and help your father get the position of Yanzhou assassin. ”
Liu Xin's words can be described as open and honest, after all, Liu Xin can be regarded as telling the truth, after all, if Liu Xin stands for Xun Yu's father to run for the position of Yanzhou Assassin, then Liu Xin's limelight is very likely, no, it should be said that he will definitely surpass Xun Yu's father, after all, this is also the first time that Liu Xin has publicly stood up to support a certain official to compete for a certain position, which is a big deal for those who pay attention to Liu Xin, especially those who are interested in cooperating with Liu Xin, If Liu Xin can help Xun Yu's father become the assassin of Yanzhou, then everyone will be happy for a long time, and those who are interested in cooperating with Liu Xin will naturally take the initiative to come to Liu Xin for cooperation, and Liu Xin can also improve his conditions; So if Liu Xin helps Xun Yu's father to compete for the position of Yanzhou assassin, if he fails, then Liu Xin's situation is not optimistic, because this is like Liu Xin smashing his own signboard, so those who want to cooperate with Liu Xin will retreat, or lower the price paid for their cooperation with Liu Xin, of course, Liu Xin's reputation among the people will also be damaged, and there will even be some Liu Xin's sworn enemies... That is, Yuan Shu will definitely stand up and hype that Liu Xin is not worthy of his name, which will further blow Liu Xin's reputation.
Therefore, Xun Yu also knew what Liu Xin was worried about, so Xun Yu also decided to tell the truth, of course, this was also expected by the Xun family, and the Xun family did not intend to deceive Liu Xin from the beginning, after all, Yuan Feng is a lesson from the past, not to mention that Liu Xin is an "immortal master", if Xun Yu lies here, then Liu Xin will soon be able to see Xun Yu's problem, and then the fun will be great.
Therefore, Xun Yu nodded first, and then said to Liu Xin seriously: "Lord Wang, you are right, our Xun family also understands your current situation very well, so things are actually like this." ”
After Xun Yu's complete narrative, Liu Xin finally understood the cause and effect of this incident, and finally understood why the Xun family came to find the platform he gave Xun Yu and helped Xun Yu's father get the position of Yanzhou Assassin.
This matter should start from the Xun family, the Xun family is now a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and its ancestor is Xunzi (according to some historical materials, such as the record of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Xunzi is Xun Yu's ancestor, so take this statement), so the reputation of the Xun family in the Han Dynasty is still very high, and in recent years, the relationship between the Xun family and the Kong family is getting better and better, after all, in this year, some emerging families are standing on the table, such as the Hongnong Yang family and the Yuan family, Therefore, the Kong family and the Xun family, such old families, naturally want to report together to keep warm and ensure their own interests.
And just recently, the current Yanzhou Thorn Shi suddenly broke the news that he was critically ill, and the Xun family also got more reliable news, that is, the Yanzhou Thorn Shi has already had an incurable disease, and he may die in a few months, so the position of the Yanzhou Thorn Shi will soon be given up.
Therefore, after hearing the news, the major forces began to mobilize their own relations, while obtaining more information about the condition of the Yanzhou Thorn History, and at the same time began to prepare for how to take the vacant position of the Yanzhou Thorn History, which naturally included the Xun family.
And the Xun family is now ready for the preliminary preparations, first of all, Xun Yu's father should be qualified to compete for the position of Yanzhou assassin, because Xun Yu's father has been in the position of Jinan Minister for many years, and his political performance is not bad (Liu Xin said hehe), and the reputation of the Xun family in the Yanzhou area is also quite high, and the most important thing is Xun Yu's wife, that is, the daughter of Tang Heng, who was often served in the middle of the year, also played her role at this time and helped Xun Yu's father gain support among the eunuch forces. Because Xun Yu's deceased father-in-law Tang Heng once brought more than half of the ten permanent servants today, including Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, so although Tang Heng is now deceased, he responds to the sentence, "A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff", Tang Heng's favor left back then was naturally accepted by Tang Heng's daughter, and now it is used to help Xun Yu, and Xun Yu naturally uses this to help his father.
Therefore, with the help of the eunuch forces, Xun Yu's father wants to become the Yanzhou Assassin, and he is already more than seventy percent sure, after all, for a position like Yanzhou Assassin, the appointment power must be in the hands of Emperor Han Ling, and the ten permanent servants must be able to influence the appointment power of Emperor Han Ling, unless people like Yuan Feng and Yang Ci stand up against it.
However, after all, the Xun family is a part of the family forces, although they can completely rely on the help of the ten permanent servants to obtain the position of Yanzhou Assassin, but if they really do this, the reputation of the Xun family can be regarded as completely finished, so the help of the eunuch forces for Xun Yu's father to compete for the Yanzhou Assassin History can only be placed in the dark, so the Xun family needs to choose a supporter for Xun Yu's father on the bright side, and this supporter must be of sufficient grade, otherwise just find a first-class family head to cheer for Xun Yu's father. So if Xun Yu's father becomes the assassin of Yanzhou, he will definitely be suspicious.
At the beginning, the Xun family originally wanted to find Kong Rong, but they didn't expect Kong Rong to find the Xun family first, because Kong Rong also planned to be the assassin of Yanzhou, so the two sides could only say fair competition, and then the Xun family thought about it, and finally thought of Liu Xin.
