Chapter 180: Thoughts of Ugliness
From "greed" to what I saw and heard from Yingchuan
Earlier, when he was in Yingchuan, because there were many scholars in Yingchuan, there were many scholars and many party members, and the county commander who was an official in Yingchuan was still not bad, although there were things about corruption and cruelty to the people, not everywhere, and the people could barely survive, but when he walked out of Yingchuan, he went through several states and counties, and saw and heard and saw along the way, but now there is a chaotic world everywhere
There is the Son of Heaven selling officials, there are remnants of the state and county, the princes and kings abandon the rivers and mountains that their ancestors have beaten down like a shoe, the emperor fled in a hurry, the court ransomes the captured king to the rebels, the people have grievances to sue, crying on the side of the road to watch the nobles swagger and fresh cars angrily gallop to Zhumen Wine and meat stink, the road has starvation bones as Zhao Yun said: "If there is a situation where the monarch is not the monarch and the minister is not the minister, or even the father is not the father and the son, it will be ruined, and at that time, the sea will be in chaos" Now it is already a statue of the monarch, the ministers are in shape, and the thieves are swarming, When the people are resentful, how can the world not be chaotic?
Wen Chouxin said: "This is probably the chaotic weather, the country will not be a country."
He didn't know that after the battle of Xiaquyang, Yan Zhong had secretly persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel
If he knew, he would definitely admire Yan Zhong's foresight
The world is so big, and Yan Zhong is not the only one who has foresight
If before the Montenegro Rebellion, people were only worried that the world might be in turmoil, but now, after witnessing all kinds of perverse and apocalyptic weather in the Han court, many people have seen that this "sky" may really be changed
In fact, even Huangfu Song, who rejected Yan Zhong's suggestion, didn't see it?
If he hadn't seen it, how could he have given Yan Zhong three reasons for refusing to rebel in a factual and reasonable manner? His three reasons were: "Great achievements are not something that mediocrity can do", "The footsteps and horses under my command are easy to scatter and difficult to help", "Although they have suffered from the rebellion of Montenegro." But the people of the world have not forgotten the Lord."
The order of his three sentences is very particular
The first sentence is that I am not this material, the second sentence is that my subordinates may not obey my orders, the third sentence is that the people have not forgotten the Lord, the first sentence is humble, the focus is on the last two sentences, "the soldiers are unusable" and "the people have not forgotten the Lord", and he put "the people have not forgotten the Lord" after "the soldiers are unusable", and he seems to have rejected Yan Zhong. In fact, he agrees with Yan Zhong's judgment, and also thinks that the Han family is going to die, but in terms of the current objective situation, it is difficult for him to achieve great things, he sees that the Han family will fall, and he also sees that the Han family will not be so destroyed, so he would rather "be loyal to this dynasty", "still have a name", and still have a good reputation to say that he does not agree with Yan Zhong's judgment. There are a lot of words that express loyalty to the imperial court, and it can be said that they will never say the four words "there is still a name", and these four words reveal the meaning that the governor is difficult to do, so he retreats to the second
……
As Tian Yuanhao said, in today's world, cowardice and greed, although the reputation is not good, it is not like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, if the real crime can be forgiven, then the Yuan family Xiang Yuan Shi Rong father and son will not have the intention to cheer up the voice of the writer
Wen Chou retracted the thoughts scattered by "greed". Returning to the lieutenant's main book and the Yuan clan, he said to Tian Yuanhao: "Yuan Hao." Indeed, in the present day, greed and cowardice are not a great fault."
Tian Yuanhao thought of all kinds of chaos in today's world, and he also had mixed feelings, he sighed and lowered his voice. said: "It's not a big problem to be greedy and escape, as long as the Yuan clan can be used by you, it's easy to say anything."
Tian Yuanhao was born in Hanshi, and he was usually informal, and he used to be quite "vulgar" in the county. In terms of selecting people and talents, he will not stick to the word "reputation" to talk about this aspect, and Wen Chou is very consistent with him
Le Jun's brother Le Biao is a realistic person, so he befriended Huang Ming Wen Chou and Tian Yuanhao are also realistic people, although they will not take the initiative to interact with the eunuchs' children, but they will not only see that there are only two standards for employing people: "meritocracy" and "only use is lifting" As long as this person has talent or usefulness, then use
Of course, in today's world, scholars flaunt each other's questions, but they will not be unscrupulous about the ugliness of this world, so he asked Xun Yu to associate with Le Jun, so that Xun Yu could associate with Le Jun in order to seek his name, and to get rid of Yuan's glory in order to seek truth
Wen Chou had already decided to dismiss the Yuan clan as a lieutenant in his heart, remembering that Tian Yuanhao had just said that the reason why the Yuan clan could be used was because of three reasons, Tian Yuanhao had only said two so far, because he asked: "Yuan Hao, why is the third?" ”
"The third one is Yuan Shirong."
Xun Yu asked, "How is the Yuan family?" ”
Wen Chou saw Yuan Shirong once and said: "The last time I was at Le Biao's house, although I only met Yuan Shirong at the banquet, one side of the relationship, you can see his words and deeds, this person is very hearty, smart, and decisive."
Xun Yuzhen said: "Strong and courageous, smart and decisive, so that people can be used."
Wen Chou's plan to rectify the county soldiers, control the city defense, interfere in the county's public security, recruit Zhuang Yong, etc., although in the early stage, Wen Chou himself planned it, but later, Tian Yuanhao and Xun Yu also knew, not only knew, but the two of them also participated in the planning, knowing that it was very difficult to do these things in a short period of time
Today, Wen Chou has obtained the consent of Minister Li Jin, and it seems that he can start to rectify the three things of the county soldiers, control the city defense, and interfere in the county's public security, but in fact, if you want to do these three things smoothly, it is not possible to only get Li Jin's consent, and you have to go through the specific responsible people below, such as the rectification of the county soldiers. For example, it is easy to control the city defense and send troops to take over the defense, but it is not easy to adapt in the short term, which also requires the cooperation of the locals; Another example is meddling in the public security of the county, this matter is not easy, it is necessary to deal with the county lieutenant of the Yuan family, and meddle in the public security of the county, this is encroaching on the power of the county lieutenant of the Yuan clan, how can the county lieutenant not object? There must be someone who is not aware of the local situation to assist and cooperate, and in order to accomplish the above things smoothly, this local person who assists and cooperates must not be cowardly, but must also have the courage to be able to hold down the formation, and must have the courage to help and cooperate with Wen Chou in a bold way
Yuan's Rong is decisive, strong, courageous, and smart, which is just right for him
Tian Yuanhao said that there are three reasons why the Yuan clan can be used: one is that the Yuan clan is crowned in Changshan Kingdom, and the other is that the Yuan clan is eager to revitalize the family. You can use this mentality of theirs to make it available to Wen Chou, and the third is that Yuan Shirong has the ability
Wen Chou smiled and said to Tian Yuanhao Xun Yu: "The two gentlemen think that Yuan's Rong is available, then this person must be available!" ”
Xun Yu said: "Jun has now obtained the promise of the prime minister, and he can start the county soldiers, city defense, and county security, so in my opinion, it is better to use Yuan Shirong sooner rather than later." You can get the help of the Yuan clan as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Wen Chou immediately laid out the paper and picked up the pen, wrote it in seal script, wrote a few lines, covered it with the fly roll of "Lieutenant Zhao" folded and sealed, held it in his hand, and said to Xun Yu with a smile, "Wen Ruo, this book of expulsion will trouble you to send it to Yuan's house tomorrow, right?" ”
Just as Wen Chou asked Xun Yu to have a relationship with Le Jun, although Xun Yu was not a lieutenant official. However, he is the nephew of Wen Chou's family, and he can show the importance of Wen Chou by sending the letter of appointment, which is better than sending it to the lieutenant's office
It was decided to remove Yuan Shirong as the main book of lieutenants, and after writing the letter of appointment, Wen Chou looked out of the hall, and at this time the night was getting deeper
……
At dusk, before the night came, Yuan Shixiang returned home
He's in the house. He immediately summoned Yuan Shirong to see him
Yuan's Rong was half-naked and moved stones in front of the house to strengthen his body, and heard Yuan's call. Throwing down the stone, he ordered the maid to fetch a water towel, stood with her legs apart, stretched out her arms, and ordered her to wipe her sweat a little and put on her clothes. He also asked the maidservant to take the sword, put it into her waist with her own hands, carefully adjusted the position, and then strode to the hall and saluted the Yuan family. Kneeling on the side seat, he asked, "Ah Weng can see the lieutenant?" ”
"The lieutenant will summon you to be the Gong Cao or the master book, you are ready"
Yuan Shirong asked in surprise, "How did Ah Weng know?" ......, did the lieutenant tell Aung that he was going to use me? ”
Yuan Shixiang shook his head and said, "I didn't meet the lieutenant tonight, and I didn't talk about private matters from beginning to end, and I talked about official affairs."
"Then why did Ah Weng say that the lieutenant will summon me as a gong cao or the chief bookkeeper?"
Yuan Shi Xiang did not answer Yuan Rong's question, but because of Yuan Rong's question, he taught him and said: "Rong! I, the rising people of the Yuan family, Wei Chang Lejun and you are the most well-known, you are not as good as Wei Chang; Temper your reputation, you might as well be Le Junrong! Let me ask you, how did you become so famous with the two of them? ”
Yuan's Rong Surong said: "Rong is so relied on, fierce jackals, strong and daring; Eagle falcon Fenhan, aim high"
"Well said! Although I know that you are not as good as Wei Chang, and you are not as good as Le Jun, but when it comes to being strong and promising, they are far inferior to you, this is the capital name of you and them, why not? 'The famous, the real guest', will be famous! Your 'reality' is your 'strength' and 'lofty ambition', these two are your reliance on heaven and earth, you must always keep in mind and not forget! ”
"Yes"
"Rong! If you want to do great things, you must first have a big reputation, and if you want to have a big reputation, you must not only have a 'real' talent, but also you must not be afraid of difficulties and face difficulties, so you can do it."
"Yes"
After admonishing Yuan Shirong to always keep in mind his capital that can be on par with Wei Chang Lejun, Yuan Shixiang said: "Wei Chang can see the subtleties, if it were him, he wouldn't ask me the question you asked just now."
"Rong is dull, please teach your father"
"After the lieutenant came to our Changshan country, he successively appointed his subordinates to serve as the subordinate of the sect, but he has not appointed the lieutenant Gong Cao and the chief bookkeeper, which is obviously for the people of our county The reason why it has been delayed is because he has just arrived, he is not familiar with the situation, and he doesn't know whose children should be appointed Now he has been in office for half a month, and he has been in contact with the local scholar clan, and it is time to appoint the master of Gong Cao, but he still has not been appointed, there is no other reason, it can only be because he is still waiting"
Yuan Shirong said: "Yes"
"The right surname of my county is crowned by my Yuan family, and the right surname of my Yuan family is crowned by my Yuan family Wei Le three families, if so, if the lieutenant chooses Gong Cao and the main book, he will only choose from my three families."
"Yes"
"Although the Wei clan is noble, if the lieutenant intends to use the Wei clan's disciples, he should have sent a letter to dispel it."
"Yes"
"And the lieutenant did not get rid of his family's children, which shows that the lieutenant's intention is not in the Wei family, and if he is not in the Wei family, he will be in my family and Le's"
"Yes"
"If you use Le's, it can only be Lejun; If you use my house, it can only be you."
There are two brothers in the Le family, Le Biao has already come out, and the only one who can choose is the children of the Le Jun Yuan family, although there are many children, but the Yuan family is the most famous, and he is the eldest son. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, if the elder brother is not out of office, the younger brother usually will not be out of office, even if he is expelled by the state and county, many of the younger brothers will thank him and refuse to accept it. Therefore, if you want to use Yuan's family, Wen Chou can only use Yuan's Rong
"Yes"
"Lejun and you have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Lejun is named; With you, you can't have both real names and real names, so the lieutenant hesitated."
"Yes"
"It is good to be famous, it is good to be real, for the lieutenant, this is a dilemma, at this time, if there is a party between 'name' and 'reality' to take the initiative to show him goodwill. Needless to say, he will definitely choose the side that he is courting."
"So Aweng is going to see the lieutenant today?"
"Yet"
"Rong listened to Ah Weng's meaning, and seemed to have seen why the lieutenant had been delayed in recovering the merits of Cao and the main book, but why did he not go to meet him until today?"
"The chief official is like a king, whether my family's reputation can be revived is now all on your shoulders, I choose the king for you, how can I be careless? Get a clear gentleman, get twice the result with half the effort; Get a mediocre master. Although Lieutenant Fei Guang is from the Yingchuan Xun clan, his family is a famous family. However, I heard that he is not a descendant of the Xun family, but only from a side branch, and he is famous for his military exploits, and he is young and premature, what is his person? You can't help but look at it carefully."
Yuan Shirong has seen Wen Chou and has his own evaluation of Wen Chou. But now he wanted to hear what his father had to say about Wen Chou, and asked, "What kind of person is the lieutenant?" ”
"I was surprised when I heard his deeds, I saw him upstairs this afternoon, I know that he is very human, and I can smell his thief's strategy in Xiangjun's car at dusk. I only have six words to say about him."
"What six words?"
"'Ugly enough to do things'"
These six characters come from the Book of Changes, and the original meaning is: "If a gentleman sticks to the right path, he will be able to do things well" Yuan Xiang is used here, but it is "ugly" to refer to the ugly text, saying that he is enough to achieve great things
Yuan Shirong had never heard his father have such a high evaluation of others, and said in his heart: "A few days ago, at the banquet of Lebojie's house, I sat opposite the lieutenant and the lieutenant was more than 20 years old, and he joined the army to fight, and he was more than 2,000 stone in his military merit. Because he said, "Rong has never heard of such a beautiful comment on people, but why did he get this comment?" What's so surprising about his thief approach? ”
"Ordinary people talk about thieves, but they only talk about thieves, but the lieutenant first said that he should prevent the epidemic and prepare food, have a long-term vision, and prevent problems before they happen."
"I can do it too"
"The lieutenant has only been in office for half a month, and he knows everything about the thieves in the west of the county, and he knows more and more than I and other locals."
Yuan Shirong was silent for a moment, and thought about whether he could understand the thief within half a month if he was the lieutenant of Changshan Country, and said: "I can also do this."
"There are three strategies for the lieutenant to fight the thief, first to prevent the epidemic and prepare food, the second to attack as soon as possible, and the second to slowly plot" Yuan Shi Xiang relayed Wen Chou's strategy to Yuan Shi Rong and said, "Can you see the deep meaning of the lieutenant?" ”
"Meaning? The lieutenant's strategy is from far to near, from solving the big problems in the future to how to solve the small problems in front of him, the layers are clear and neat, and it is even the 'deep meaning' that Jing Dang Ah Weng said. ”
"This is not the deep meaning of the lieutenant"
"Then what does a lieutenant mean?"
"The county soldiers and city defense side are the deep meaning of the lieutenant!"
Yuan's Rong Huo Ran woke up, recalled the three strategies of Wen Chou, advanced layer by layer, deepened step by step, and finally settled on the county soldier city defense, because the foreshadowing in front of it made people naturally accept, and he was amazed by the case, and said: "What a wonderful strategy!" Then he said, "However, although it is a clever strategy, it can't hide people's ......, doesn't Ah Weng see it?" ”
"I can see that it is because I am a bystander, but those who are in the game may not be able to see it, and then I say it, so why should the lieutenant hide it! With the foreshadowing of the epidemic prevention and food preparation in front of him, what if he is seen? ”
Yuan Shirong thought about it carefully, it is true, even if it is seen that the ultimate goal of Wen Chou is the county soldiers and city defense, but there are several foreshadowings in front of him, but no one can say his mistakes, and no one can oppose him to rectify the county soldiers and control the city defense, as well as meddle in the county law and order, but because he occupies the reason "preconceived", since Wen Chou occupies the reason, and the listener accepts his reason, then the ultimate goal of opposing him is a fair and righteous plan
Yuan asked Yuan Rong: "Lieutenant, can you do the same?" ”
Yuan Shirong said admiringly: "The lieutenant is thoughtful and far-sighted, and he uses it to break the enemy's battle in a dignified formation, so that even if people can see his purpose, he can do it."
"The lieutenant is only in his twenties, with such a talent, he will definitely be able to make great contributions in the future, no wonder Zhou Bo values him, and the opportunity to revitalize my Yuan family is just around the corner, you have to do your best to assist him."
"Yes!"
Yuan Shixiang asked, "How are you going to assist him?" ”
Yuan Shirong thought for a moment. said: "Lieutenant from other states, I am new to my county, I am not familiar with the place, if you want to control the county soldiers to control the city defense and control the security of the county, there will be many obstacles, I should do my best to help."
"What else?"
"The son of a lieutenant is more than 20 years old. In order to be more expensive than 2,000 stones, he must have great ambitions, it is impossible for him to come to Changshan Country to have a vegetarian meal, he must want to establish a meritorious career again, I am familiar with the terrain, and I should help him fight thieves."
"What else?"
"Recommend the Magi and help him win the prestige"
"What else?"
"And?"
"And!"
Yuan Shirong counted his fingers and thought, "The first lieutenants control the military. Helping the lieutenant to fight thieves and making meritorious contributions, helping the lieutenant to win popularity, and winning the reputation of the county are enough, what else can there be? He asked, "Father, please teach him."
"Grain"
"Grain?"
"Although the lieutenant's department is sharp, most of them are Yuzhou soldiers, and they are not familiar with the geographical mountain shape, so if they want to attack the thieves as soon as possible, they must be brave and brave in this county, and the county soldiers are unbearable. Even I can see this, let alone the lieutenant? The lieutenant must be re-recruiting the volunteers of the county
"To recruit volunteers, you have to have food, and we all know the situation in the country. How much has been harvested this year, and there is a shortage of grain, so you need to borrow money from the local surname Haoqiang, and you can help him in this regard."
"Yes, my family can donate food to him"
"Wrong"
"Wrong?"
"How can my family's grain be enough to support the soldiers of a county?"
"What do you mean?"
"Help Him to Borrow Food from the Country"
"This. ......, I'm afraid it's going to offend people."
"There are many events in the world, the lieutenant is talented, and the queen should be the minister, and my family will revitalize the family reputation and gain fame and wealth in one fell swoop. What a pity to offend people! ”
Yuan Rong agreed
At this time, the father and son talked deeply, and the night outside the hall was getting deeper
……
The next ri, Wen Chou passed on, sent by Xun Yu himself, and Bi Yuan was honored as the lieutenant master book
Yuan Shirong took office on the same day, offered Wen Chou, and said that he was willing to borrow food for Wen Chou
The next ri, the text of the ugly, sent by Xun Yu himself, Pi Yuan Rong as the lieutenant master book network book network
Yuan Shirong took the printed ribbon of the Wenwen clothes, confessed his guilt, returned to the house and changed the clothes into the printed ribbon and tied them, with the high crown on his head and the sword at his waist, he came out with a high spirit, waved to Xun Yu, and said: "Don't wait for a long time, Lieutenant, I'll go to the Lieutenant's Mansion later."
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Jun is the Yuan family's handsome talent, the lieutenant knows that his virtue is thin and fresh, and his qualifications are shallow, although he is planning for the people of Zhao County, he has the courage to set up the king as the lieutenant's main book, but he does not dare to detain the king in the position of the main book, before he comes, the lieutenant commanded: 'If you can get the king today, it is a happy event to accept the expulsion, and if you take office, you can wait a few days with the main book, and it is not too late to choose an auspicious one to take office."
Yuan Rong pressed his sword and raised his head, and said loudly: "Rong Yeze is a fool, a bad material, and he is a special encounter, and he was made a close secret by the lieutenant, and he was appointed to the heart, and he dared to do his best to serve him immediately?" Why wait for auspiciousness! ”
The main book is a close official of the chief official, so Yuan Shi Rong said that he was dismissed by Wen Chou as "close to the secret" and "appointed to the heart" Xun Yu looked at his state, heard the sound of his golden drum, and said in his heart: "The lieutenant said that Yuan Shi Rong was hearty and decisive, and it was true."
If this is to be replaced by a layman, he will definitely not go to office on the day he receives the document of removal, so he has to stay at home for a day, and wait until the next day to take office, otherwise Yuan Shirong, who seems to want to be an official, has no scruples at all
Xun Yu was strong, and he was no longer polite at the moment, and said with a smile: "In this case, then please wait for the main bookkeeper, and wait for the lieutenant's mansion to send the main book's car" The main bookkeeper ranks 100 stones, is an official, and the car he takes is different from the people
"Why bother! I went to the Lieutenant's Mansion with Jun in the same car as a big man, and what I did was a real thing, not a false name."
Xun Yu became more and more vigorous, said goodbye to Yuan's prime minister at the moment, got into his own car with Yuan's Rong, and went to the lieutenant's mansion
……
Wen Chou was discussing the preparations for the "capital test" with Tian Yuanhao and others in the hall, but he didn't expect Yuan Shirong to come to office so soon, and he was quite surprised to see Yuan Shirong and Xun Yu walking into the hall, but his face did not show any abnormality, and he got up to greet him
Yuan's Rong bowed down and bowed down
Wen Chou hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "How fast the master book is!" Didn't I ask Wen Ruo to tell the master book? Although I look forward to the arrival of the king, but I do not dare to restrain the king with the position of official, the king can stay at home for a few more ri, and it is not too late to take office at the right time" (to be continued. )
