Chapter 236: The Fourth and Third Dukes
I didn't expect Zhen Mi's consciousness to be so advanced, it was rare that she would think of making money on her own to reduce the burden of her own man, and Yuan Mai would naturally not refuse. If Zhen Mi manages it properly, maybe she will make a fortune for herself!
Then he nodded and agreed: "It's rare for Ah Mi to think so, I'll find a few carpenters to make a batch of maza another day, and you can let the maidservants in the house take it to the market and sell it!" ”
When chatting just now, the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing was mentioned, and Yuan Mai remembered that he had sent Zhuge Jin to Nanyang Nie County to visit Zhang Ji in mid-July, and it had been more than 70 days now, I don't know if he came back?
"By the way, I went on a northern expedition to Montenegro during this time, and it took me about a month to go back and forth, don't you know that Zhuge Ziyu has come back from Nanyang?"
Du Shi hurriedly said, "Oh, hasn't you seen Lord Zhuge when you come back?" A few days before you came back, Lord Zhuge came back! ”
"Really, has Doctor Zhang come back?" Yuan Mai's heart hung and he asked a little nervously.
"Doctor Zhang is here, a few days ago, 'good luck' was infected with a cold, or the disease that Doctor Zhang gave him, he really deserves to be a doctor, the medicine is gone, the child took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and he was cured in two or three days!" Speaking of Zhang Zhongjing, Du Shi looked grateful.
"That's great!"
Yuan Mai was overjoyed, stood up quickly, straightened his clothes and said, "A few of you sisters have a slow chat in the room, I will summon Zhuge Ziyu and Doctor Zhang immediately!" ”
After finishing speaking, he quickly went out of the backyard and ordered the guards to summon Zhuge Jin and Zhang Ji to come and talk.
In mid-July, Zhuge Jin received the order. Go to Nanyang to recruit Zhang Ji. It took seven or eight days to come to Nanyang Nie County and inquire about Zhang Ji's location in the city.
Zhang Ji is a world-famous doctor, and he has been a local Taishou, and he has also been a court official in the capital, and he is a well-known figure in Nieyang County, so he will naturally know it as soon as he inquires.
Through the previous recruitment of Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin knew that his lord was a person who was eager to seek talent, and the person he liked had to stop until he was recruited, otherwise even if he went back, he would definitely be driven back again.
Therefore. Zhuge Jin has an extra heart this time. did not rush to ask to see Zhang Ji, and invited him to follow him to Bingzhou as an official. Instead, he rented a house in Nieyang County, pretended to be sick, and sent someone to invite Zhang Ji to see a doctor.
Most of the healers of this era were bodhisattvas. There are very few black doctors like the lust of later generations. Not to mention a great doctor like Zhang Ji. Naturally, it is our responsibility to help the world and save the world.
Zhuge Jin's entourage came to invite him to see a doctor, and Zhang Ji happily went. After looking, smelling, cutting, and asking. I was stunned that I didn't diagnose anything wrong with Zhuge Jin, but Zhuge Jin kept shouting and feeling uncomfortable.
This made Zhang Ji depressed, so he had to prescribe a prescription and let Zhuge Jin take it for a period of time to see the effect before making a decision. It's just that what Zhang Ji didn't expect was that this was a trick played by the always honest Zhuge Jin and him, he was not sick and pretended to be sick, it would be strange if he could see it!
A few days later, Zhuge Jin sent someone to invite Zhang Ji to see a doctor, and the two became acquainted with each other.
has nothing to do, often chatting about some family and country affairs, Zhang Ji felt that Zhuge Jin talked extraordinary, not like an ordinary ordinary man, so he asked Zhuge Jin what his identity was?
At that moment, Zhuge Jin smiled and explained the purpose of his coming to Nanyang, saying that he was entrusted by Yuan Mai, the assassin of Bingzhou, and invited Doctor Zhang to be an official in Bingzhou, hoping that he would agree.
And Yuan Mai bragged a lot, saying that De Ke is better than Yao Shun, looks better than Pan An, Zhi Ke can surpass Guan Zhong, and Wu Ke can win Xiang Yui, only listening to Zhang Ji is covered with clouds and mountains, and he is in awe of this famous nobleman.
In the past two years, Yuan Mai shot the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, captured Hanoi and Pingyang, snatched Gao Shun and Zhang Liao from Cao Cao, and invaded Luoyang.
What makes Zhang Ji's heart even more excited is Yuan Mai's identity, as a famous nobleman, after the fourth world and the third duke, what a dazzling halo? As long as the Yuan family is mentioned, all the scholars and Confucians in the world are admired, and the admiration is absolutely like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly!
The so-called "Four Worlds and Three Princes", some people in later generations do not understand it very well. It is not that the four generations of the Yuan family have produced three ministers who rank as the third duke, but that the Yuan family has been ranked as the third prince for four consecutive generations.
The Yuan family began to be prominent during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, that is, one hundred and fifty years ago.
Yuan Shao's great-grandfather Yuan An performed well on the way, and successively served as a servant, a sikong, and a situ, and was a very popular minister with a prominent identity. And because Yuan An has a noble character and leads by example, everyone in the world admires him.
At this time, the queen was Dou, that is, the famous Empress Dowager Dou in history. Her brother Dou Xian is even more famous in history, penetrating into the Hanhai Desert for 3,000 miles, breaking the Northern Xiongnu, almost annihilating its main force, and forcing the Xiongnu to go west into Europe to go into exile.
Dou Xian made great achievements and shocked the world, and because his sister was the queen of the dynasty, he was named a general, a prince, and a champion marquis, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition.
This Dou Xian made such a great achievement, which should have been a role that will go down in history and be praised by all the people. But he was arrogant, had no one in his eyes, and was narrow-minded, doing whatever he wanted, competing with the people for profit, and finally his reputation was discredited and he was given death by the emperor.
And it was none other than Yuan An, the Situ of the dynasty, that is, Yuan Shao's great-grandfather, the ancestor of Yuan Mai.
During the reign of Emperor Zhang, he abolished torture, made great efforts, developed agriculture, drove the Xiongnu to the west, maintained the Silk Road, and created the "rule of Ming Zhang", which can be regarded as a good emperor.
When Emperor Zhang was in power, he noticed that Dou Xian was arrogant and lawless, so he reprimanded Dou Xian and removed him from his duties. It's a pity that Emperor Zhang fell ill in his prime and died in the Luoyang Palace at the age of thirty-one.
Emperor Zhang died, and the ten-year-old prince Liu Zhao succeeded to the throne, which was the emperor of the Han Dynasty in history. Empress Dowager Dou thought that the emperor was young and ruled in the dynasty, so she re-promoted Dou Xian and entrusted him with important tasks, and Dou Xian's power was even more powerful than before, and her treatment of the people was even worse.
In addition to Dou Xian, Dou Jing, Dou Gui, Dou Du and other brothers were entrusted with important tasks, and the power of the Dou family tilted towards the government and the opposition, reproducing the scene of the dictatorship of relatives at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.
The Dou brothers controlled the government, cultivated cronies, eliminated dissidents, and did evil, making people angry and resentful. Empress Dowager Dou secretly supported and turned a deaf ear to the impeachment of hundreds of officials.
Situ Yuan An is the mainstay of the fight with the Dou family, facing the Dou brothers, Yuan An is not afraid at all, and has repeatedly argued with him in the court, counted his crimes, and asked the Queen Mother to bring him to justice.
Although the people of the Dou family hate Yuan An so much, Yuan An is an important minister of the two dynasties, famous in the world, admired by the world, and clean and self-conscious on weekdays, without any handle. Although the people of the Dou family hated him deeply, they couldn't catch Yuan An's handle, so they could only wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
When Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty was fourteen years old, the Dou family conspired to usurp power, trying to emulate Wang Mang and abolish the Han Dynasty and stand on its own.
The young emperor, with the assistance of Situ Yuan An, Sikong Ren Kui and others, thwarted the Dou family's conspiracy, wiped out the Dou family, deposed all of them from their official positions, and relegated them to their hometowns. Later, he sent someone to force Dou Xian to commit suicide, and since then the Dou family has been wiped out in the long river of history, and the power has been controlled by Emperor Liu Zhao again.
The illustrious reputation of the Yuan family was established by Situ Yuan An one hundred and fifty years ago, and after the development of several generations, the four generations and the three dukes were unprecedented.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court did not set up prime ministers, and led the ministers with three dukes and nine qing, and the three dukes were the heads of the hundred officials.
The so-called three princes are Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong.
Taiwei is the head of the three princes and is in charge of military power; The second is that Yuan An served as Situ, which has similar responsibilities as the later prime minister, in charge of the country's justice, the promotion of officials, and the treasury of money and grain, which is equivalent to integrating the positions of the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Households in later generations, and is prominent.
After Yuan An's death, his son Yuan Chang was appointed as Sikong during the reign of Emperor He, at the end of the Three Dukes, but he was also a powerful minister. He was in charge of water and soil fortifications, as well as court etiquette, which was equivalent to integrating the two Shangshu responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works in later generations.
In the period of Emperor Huan, Yuan An's grandson Yuan Tang became more and more prominent, successively served as Sikong and Situ, and finally became the Taiwei who was in charge of the world's power, which was even more incredible!
After Yuan Tang's death, his two sons, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, were also extremely retained.
Yuan Feng served as Sikong, that is, the father of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. And Yuan Feng's younger brother Yuan Kui ascended to the position of the third prince before his brother, successively serving as Sikong, Situ, Taiwei, and finally as Taifu. The protégés and former officials were all over the world, and he was a great Confucian in the world, but he was finally killed by Dong Zhuo, who was in chaos.
If you add Yuan Shao, who is now canonized as a "general" by Cao Cao in the name of the Son of Heaven, the Yuan family can even be called the "Fifth World and Three Dukes", famous and noble, who is so prominent?
In this era of feudal imperial power, it is not uncommon for the ancestral tombs of wealthy scholars to smoke and get the favor of the emperor, and it is not uncommon for the family to have three princes and nine secretaries. But a wealthy family like the Yuan family, which has been going on for 400 years, is the only one in the Yuan family!
It can even be said that in the vast Huaxia, with a vast history of 3,000 years, only the Yuan family in Ruyang, Runan can have this glory!
Gu Long's novel once described Li Xunhuan's illustrious family background, "a family of seven scholars, father and son three flowers", but compared to the Yuan family of the fifth world and three dukes, it is simply a pure "diao silk family", not worth mentioning!
Let's get back to business, let's talk about Zhuge Jin's recruitment of the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing.
After listening to Zhuge Jin boasting about Yuan Mai, he said that he was eager to seek talent and was ready to confer the position of Taishou Zhang Zhongjing readily agreed and agreed to follow Zhuge Jin to Bingzhou as an official.
The reason why things are going smoothly is that in addition to Zhuge Jin's strategy and dizziness used properly, Yuan Mai has the aura after being noble, and because when Zhang Ji was an official in the court, he used to be a protégé of Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui, and he was promoted many times and was grateful, so he agreed and followed Zhuge Jin to Bingzhou.
