Even though Cai Yong was accepted by Han, it was impossible to be an official under Guo Jia with the idea of loyalty to the monarch, but he was also a generation of Confucianism, and he still understood the major rights and wrongs, Guo Jia's way of launching the imperial examination system to take scholars, from a macro and long-term perspective, was beneficial to the country and the nation, so Cai Yong could oppose Guo Jia's usurpation, but he would not oppose Guo Jia's introduction of policies that were beneficial to the country.

Sometimes Guo Jia also thinks that this old man is very cute, love and hate, Cai Yong can hate Guo Jia for becoming a traitor to the Han family, but he also loves Guo Jia's talent, seeing that Guo Jia has done a good thing for the world's scholars, the dark and dirty behind filial piety, Cai Yong knows that the imperial examination can make the world regardless of dignity, rich or poor, whether noble or low, scholars have the opportunity to serve the country, the so-called brainstorming, pro-virtuous and far-reaching, officialdom should not be monopolized by privileges, a clear and open officialdom atmosphere should be formed by gathering talented people from all over the world to conspire and kill.

Because of this, Cai Yongcai was indignant at Xi Zhicai's prejudice against Zhang Song, and he could not tolerate a policy that was beneficial to the country from the very beginning with the brand of fighting for power and profit, and eradicating dissidents.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Cai Yong also suddenly realized, he only knew that Zhang Song was a scholar in Yizhou, but he didn't know what Zhang Song's family had done, what Guo Jia said sounded alarmist, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable, Guo Jia is here, Yizhou can still be stable, if Guo Jia is not there, unless a hero is born, otherwise Yizhou will fall into dire straits, and the last to suffer is the people.

"Cai Gong, Zhang Song's affairs will be handled properly, I don't need him to serve me loyally, one day, I will have countless life and death battles with the princes, if I am defeated and destroyed, I don't want the civil and military forces who follow me to end up with a bad end, they can do their best for the common people in the world, they can contribute to the people, under me and under the other princes, in fact, it is the same. Zhang Song, as long as he is distracted and does things with the people, I will not deliberately reject him, my principle of employing people is very simple, appoint people on the basis of merit, Zhang Song can secretly hate me, and even assassinate me alone, as long as you don't incite the people to follow him to the road of no return, don't involve his personal grievances on the people, I still dare to use him, but if he does something that harms the people, Zhang Su's fate is just a warning. ”

These words sound extremely hypocritical, does Guo Jia really not care about the loyalty of his subordinates? He cares, but he can't force it, if he can only appoint people who are completely loyal to him as officials, then he may rule more than half of the fourteen counties are unavailable, Guo Jia is very clear about his current status and identity, strategy, the art of war, for him, is not important, the most important thing is to know people well, the emperor has a way, as a monarch, the strength can not be low first, he can tolerate his brothers, can tolerate heroes, and can also tolerate Liu Biao, who gave him a fiasco when he was most proud, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, If he can't tolerate Zhang Song, who is sincere in his service, is he still qualified to compete with Cao Ying, a well-known traitor, in the Central Plains?

In the troubled times, the times create heroes, many unknown heroes and heroes are struggling to find the Lord to serve, for them, civil and military heroes, who to serve is actually not much different, as long as they can show their strengths and get ahead, only a few people adhere to the ideal and self-righteous justice, Guo Jia recruits talents, first accept his talents, can he accept his heart, he does not dare to boast that Haikou can make everyone belong to him, but, as long as he comes, willing to show his talents for the benefit of the people, Guo Jia must be welcome, as for loyalty, said to have seen people's hearts for a long time, Guo Jia is not worth following with all his heart, and he has a lot of opinions.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many generals, and there were many generals who left a reputation of loyalty and righteousness, most of the people at this time had not starved to death, and Guo Jia had self-knowledge, if he died, would his civil and military forces die with him? He doesn't think so, putting aside the monarch and ministers, many of his subordinates are his brothers who share weal and woe from birth to death, if there is really one day, they can have a good end, Guo Jia Jiuquan, will feel gratified.

Zhang Song's matter was suppressed for the time being, since Guo Jia said that it would be handled properly, it would not be perfunctory, Cai Yong got up and wanted to leave, but Guo Jia asked: "Cai Gong, are you still revising history books recently?" ”

When Cai Yong heard this, he was a little upset and said in a deep voice: "It's been shelved since two years ago, and it's not a good thing for you to do." ”

At that time, Cai Yan was imprisoned, and after being stolen and re-married, Cai Yong and his wife did not know, for this reason, Cai Yong didn't think about tea and dinner, and the business was delayed.

Guo Jia laughed twice, and then said: "If Cai Gong has time, you might as well sit down first, I have something I want to ask Cai Gong for help." ”

The two of them were strangers who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, and Cai Yong thought it was about his daughter's marriage, so he sat down and listened.

After thinking about the wording, Guo Jia hesitated for a while, and said: "I plan to build a hundred schools in the spring of next year, if Cai Gong does not dislike it, I will take the liberty of asking you to deign to go and teach." ”

When Cai Yong heard this, his gray brows were twisted together, a hundred schools? Cai Yong's face gradually became gloomy, the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, Guo Jia is becoming more and more excessive, the rebellion is to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, and now even the rebellion of the ruling ideology of the Han Dynasty has to be created.

"The old man only understands Confucianism, and he doesn't know anything else."

Facing Cai Yong's angry face like a child, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile and said gently: "Hundred schools, naturally there is Confucianism, please Cai Gong, of course, please teach Confucianism." ”

Open-mindedness does not mean the negation of Confucianism, the roots of the state of Chinese etiquette are also under the influence of Confucianism, as far as morality is concerned, Confucianism advocates benevolence, and has a non-negligible role in alleviating social class contradictions, interpersonal relationship regulation, etc.

But Confucianism alone is not the way to strengthen the country, Guo Jia will preach Confucianism, but will also use the Mohist idea of appointing people to recruit talents, Taoism's inaction and governance can not be ignored, and the governance of the place should be based on the Legalist law-based thought, training and governing the army is obviously more practical military thinking, which is consistent with Guo Jia's idea that he has always attached more importance to wisdom and bravery.

As for the agriculture-based farmers, the vertical and horizontal families, and the miscellaneous families who promote academic integration, Guo Jia has always believed that it is necessary to cultivate talents, specialize in the art industry, and the way to become a talent is not to repeat the path of the sages, but to combine their own development strengths and learn to achieve success.

Although it sounds like there are many schools of thought, in fact, there are no more than ten schools that can really form the mainstream, and it is very important for the cultivation of follow-up talents to reproduce the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending again.

Cai Yong's expression changed, and after pondering for a while, he sighed and said, "Guo Jia, do you really want to rebel so completely?" ”

This is to uproot the big man.

Guo Jia smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said casually: "The more the reason is argued, the clearer it is, whether Confucianism is good or not, it's not Cai Gong's opinion, it's not what I say, existence is reasonable, all the sons have their own strengths, go to the meal and save the essence, learn from each other's strengths, the so-called sea is tolerant of all rivers, it is big, it can integrate the strengths of a hundred schools, and it is beneficial and harmless to the country and the people." Cai Gong, I don't force you, if you don't want to go, then forget it. ”

At this point, Cai Yong really couldn't back down, and said with a straight face: "Why doesn't the old man go?" When the school is completed, the old man will personally teach from now on, no matter what, Confucianism is the way to govern the country. ”

Looking at Cai Yong's departing back, Guo Jia snickered, it seems that Cai Yong is not an official under him, but the influence he can bring is no less than his effectiveness.

Cai Yong, who returned home and drank tea, also came to his senses, squirted tea and scolded indignantly in a low voice, leaving his wife confused.

After another half a month, the work of marking the papers was finally over, and Xi Zhicai and others also divided the difference between high and low according to the performance on the answer sheet, and selected nearly 400 scholars from them, leaving only Qin Mi, Zhang Song, and Peng Yi, these three people are qualified to enter Yizhou Mansion as officials, and the others will be assigned to the locality.

Before officially sending the selected officials to the locality, Guo Jia had already learned about Zhang Song's situation from Xi Zhicai.

The Zhang family of Shu County has suffered a heavy blow after Zhang Su responded to Xu He's rebellion, and now it is Zhang Song who provokes the beam, before the incident, the two brothers had a fierce conflict, the details are unknown, but there should be different opinions on whether to rebel.

Guo Jia personally met Zhang Song, this person is not good-looking, and can even be said to be ugly, but his demeanor is like everyone, he is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and his speech and demeanor are generous, and when facing Guo Jia, he frankly admitted that his brother's rebellion was not the original intention of the Zhang family.

Regarding Zhang Su's rebellion, there have long been conclusions and opinions on how to deal with it, and Guo Jia doesn't want to mention the old things anymore, so he talks openly and honestly with Zhang Song, regardless of each other's past suspicions.

Just when heavy snow fell in Chengdu and the snow was covered, the first imperial examination in Yizhou, which came to an end, took a solid step for Guo Jia's rule.

Now Guo Jia is in the general's mansion in Chengdu, and there are two departments in the power organ, the first is the Yizhou Mansion, which directs the military and political affairs of the whole territory of Yizhou, and the incumbents are headed by Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao, Qin Mi, Zhang Song, Peng Yi, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Yi. Although nominally this is the case, in fact, military decisions are made by Guo Jia himself, and Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi are also in Yizhou Mansion in terms of positions because they are in charge of the pro-guard army.

The second department is the Imperial Historical Observatory, which is served by four people from Xiuqi Zhiping and is in charge of supervision.

This is actually similar to the prime minister, Taiwei, and Yushi who inherited the Qin system in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.

The prime minister was in charge of administration, the Taiwei was in charge of the military, and the imperial historian was in charge of supervision, and the power was separated.

As for the later three princes and nine secretaries, most of them are not as good as their relatives or ministers "Lu Shang Shushi" on behalf of the emperor to decide on government affairs, Guo Jia's Yizhou Mansion first separated military administration and supervision power, this is only a preliminary arrangement, on the one hand, to streamline the official system, on the other hand, because he only has such a big place as Yizhou, when there is a real opportunity in the future, he will move out the three provinces and six ministries system.
