Chapter 25: Commentary on the Future
The so-called "Hanji" mentioned by Shixun to Xun Yu, later known as "Dongguan Hanji", is the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Originally, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered Ban Gu, Chen Zong and others to compile the "Shizu (Guangwu Emperor) Benji", and Ban Gu wrote the deeds of meritorious heroes, Pinglin, Xinshi, Gongsun Shu, etc., which was the starting point, and the later generations gradually increased, and it was written from the Guangwu Dynasty to the Lingdi Dynasty.
The most important compiler of the "Han Ji" of the Ling Emperor Dynasty was the famous Cai Yong Cai Bojiao. Later, he offended Situ Wang Yun and will be sentenced to death, which is "begging the head to cut off the feet, and then become the history of the Han Dynasty" - you can stab my face and bare my feet, just to leave a life, so that I can finish the "Han Ji". Who would have thought that Wang Yun glared: "Emperor Xiwu did not kill Sima Qian, so that he would slander the book and pass it on to future generations." Fang Jinguo is in decline, and the artifact is not solid, so he can't let the minister hold the pen around the young master. It will not benefit the holy virtues, and it will make our party be criticized! "Against public opinion, Cai Yong was still cut.
Therefore, I failed to complete the "Han Ji...... To be more precise, it was the failure to complete the "Han Ji" of the Lingdi Dynasty, and to merge the early events of the Young Emperor Dynasty and the Xiandi Dynasty, which was Cai Bojiao's biggest regret before his death. So when Shi Xun rescued Cai Zhaoji from the recklessness and dedicated it to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao married her to Wang Cang, the couple discussed that they had to help their father and teacher fulfill their wishes.
This is what Xun said, "Wang Zhongxuan and his wife want to inherit Cai Bojiao's ambition to continue the "Han Ji".
Shi Xun asked Xun Yu if he had heard of this, and Xun Yu nodded: "I have heard a lot." Therefore, Xun said that the Wang couple recently begged themselves to help write some chapters.
Because "Dongguan Hanji" is not the same as other official history of the dynasty, one is that the people of this dynasty write about the affairs of this dynasty. The second is open collective creation. Let's say the last writing team. In addition to Cai Yong, it also includes Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi and Han Shuo. It is Xunwen who is very famous, and he is also a Confucian, and he has more research on historical books, so Wang Cang and his wife asked him for it.
After talking about the previous situation, it was Xun who said his meaning: "Because of the righteousness and true business, Xun was too young to meet each other, and he was puzzled, so he came to ask Ling Jun." โ
The so-called "righteousness and true justice". It refers to the late famous minister Huang Fu Song, and the meaning of the word is true. It's Xun said, I should write the biography of Huangfu Song, but it's a pity that I'm too young, and I've never met him, and most of his deeds are from second-hand information, not old and reliable. Xun Lingjun, you were an official in the court, and you should have met Huangfu Song, so I came to you to verify and verify.
When Xun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Hongfu asked." If I know, I will have nothing to hide. โ
Xun Wenruo, that's a sensitive person. It was Xun who said the words, and his heart was clear - things are definitely not that simple, this is not your real intention!
If you want to find someone who is familiar with Huangfu Song, you will grab a lot of them in the court, and it will not be my turn, how could you think of asking me? I think that in the early days of the Emperor Ling Dynasty, the Young Emperor Dynasty, and the Emperor Xian Dynasty that Dong Zhuo was good at, although I was in the court, it was just a small palace order, and I knew General Huangfu, but he might not be able to recognize me. It's not as good as my nephew Xun You, who was a waiter of the Yellow Gate at the time, so he had the opportunity to contact a high-ranking official of Huangfu Song's level.
Yes, Xun You followed the prime minister on the expedition, and you couldn't ask him for a while, but to pass it on to people, this is a big deal, and you can't ignore it at all, it's better to collect information than to be in a hurry, do you need to be so anxious? Suddenly came to me in the big night and asked me? There must be no other intention.
But Xun Yu is also quite interested, what does Xun want to say when he comes to him in such a hurry? Is it related to the banquet the day before yesterday and the subsequent visit to the public to apologize? So I didn't say yes and said I don't know, you can ask someone else to go.
Xun Yu said that he could continue to listen to what Xun said, if there was any problem, he opened his mouth, but Xun thanked him, and then paused for a moment, and then asked: "I heard that the imperial court edict Dong Zhuo was the state pastor, so that the soldiers would pay the righteous and true public and perform their duties, but Zhuo did not obey." Yizhen Gong has Congzi Li, when he was in the army, said that Zhuo was edicted, refused to commission the army, this rebellion also, and to the Beijing division of the confusion, hesitant not to advance, this treacherous also, please Yizhen Gong to ask for it, show loyalty and righteousness, and remove the murder, which can be a matter of Huan and Wen. However, the righteous and true duke refused to obey, stopped showing his affairs, and waited for the judgment of the imperial court, and finally Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and coveted the artifact - I don't know what this matter is? โ
Thinking that Dong Zhuo followed Huangfu Song and suppressed the rebellious Qianghu in Guanxi together, the imperial court had the tendency to divide the territory, so he worshiped him as the pastor of the state, and asked him to hand over all the soldiers and horses to Huangfu Song and go to the state alone. However, Dong Zhuo was unwilling to hand over the military power, and repeatedly played to find reasons, and refused to perform his duties for a long time. Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, said to his uncle: "Dong Zhuo received the edict but refused to hand over the military power, this is an act of disobedience; Because of the turmoil and chaos in the capital (the dispute between He Jin and Chang Shi), he refused to set off immediately, and he obviously harbored a treacherous conspiracy. As the main general Yuan Rong, you should send troops to crusade, show your loyalty to the superiors, and get rid of the scourge of the country to the subordinates, which is the cause of Qi Huan and Jin Wen. However, Huangfu Song refused to listen, and only knew that he wrote a recital to the imperial court and impeached Dong Zhuo, which eventually led to the evil consequences of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, arbitrary power and disorderly government, and the abolition of the Son of Heaven.
Yes Xun asked Xun Yu, is there really such a thing?
Xun Wenruo nodded slightly: "Yu also heard this, but if he is not in the army, he does not dare to make judgments." "I've heard about this, too, but I wasn't in Huangfu Song's army at that time, so it's impossible for you to get first-hand information from me.
Shi Xun smiled faintly, and then asked the second thing: "I heard again, in the first year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo Zhengyi Zhengong was the captain of the city gate, and he really wanted to kill his ears." Long history Liang Yan said that the righteousness is true, Yun Dong Zhuo abolished the will, the real usurpation also, the general of the current expedition, the big is dangerous, the small is embarrassed and humiliated, he took the Son of Heaven to the west, Zhuo was in Luoyang, sent 30,000 elite soldiers to welcome the supreme, and was ordered to rebel, then the Yuan family forced its east, the general forced its west, and Zhuo Nai must be captured. It's a pity that the righteous and true justice didn't obey it, so he was enlisted, and he almost died-what is the matter? โ
In the first year of the First Peace, Dong Zhuo moved Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an, and he fought fiercely with the Kwantung coalition forces near Luoyang. At this time, Huangfu Song's army was still in Guanxi, and Dong Zhuo recruited him as the captain of the city gate in the name of the imperial court, wanting to take the opportunity to kill this old enemy. Liang Yan, the chief historian of Huangfu Song, persuaded him, saying that if you return to the court, you will inevitably suffer, it is better to take the opportunity to send 30,000 elite soldiers to Chang'an, and serve the Son of Heaven to crusade against the traitors. It's a pity that Huangfu Song still refused to agree, and went back to the court alone, almost becoming a ghost under Dong Zhuo's knife.
Is it Xun or the old question: Is there such a thing? Xun Yu still replied: I've heard of it too, but I can't say for sure - I'm not by his side, so I can't give you confirmation.
The two things related to Huangfu Song that Xun said, the text first appeared in Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", as for its content, it has already spread all over Shilin, of course, he didn't deliberately run over to check the authenticity with Xun Yu, who couldn't hit the eight poles, and wanted to write an article about overturning the case. So when the two things were finished, he finally slowly stepped into the topic, and sighed: "When the weak lord is covered with dust, the thief is killed, Chengye referendum, Zhai Yi Ju travels, so Liang Yan offers rules, Shandong Alliance, and it is the great cause of Shegetian, and the small forgiveness of the horseman, the wolf bรจi tiger's mouth." Righteousness and truth are deep and strategic, but they are afraid of the ridicule of future generations, and cause the country to be in turmoil, how can they be said to be wise? โ
In fact, the first half of this passage also comes from the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which is a general comment on Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, saying that they have made great achievements and have heavy troops, but they cannot take advantage of the chaos to fight thieves, but instead indulge in traditional political morality and try to solve problems within the system, but as a result, they not only failed to save the country from peril, but also almost took their own lives. If you want to say that there was chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, these two goods are hard to escape guilt - if you really want to eradicate Dong Zhuo as soon as possible according to what Huangfu Li said, won't there be no chaos behind? If you really want to follow Liang Yan's construction and attack Dong Zhuo with Yuan Shao, the chaos will be able to be leveled in advance!
So Shi Xun added at the end: Huangfu Song has always been known for being resourceful, but because he was afraid of destroying the system and being ridiculed by others, he did not listen to good advice, but led the country to turmoil - is this what a wise man should do? After finishing, he asked Xun Yu: "If you think it's a comment, what should you do?" "I take these few sentences as a general comment on the biography of Huangfu Song, is it fair?
Xun Yu couldn't help but nodded: "What Hongfu said, it is inappropriate to stab them directly - although there is no one who is perfect, there must be a short, but because of its shortness, it harms the world, and it is really not inappropriate to be wise." โ
When Xun heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled: "Gu Zhi Lingjun and Xun have the same intention." When the world is extraordinary, the application of extraordinary strategies, such as Chen Fan, Dou Wu, He Jin and others in the past plotted to punish eunuchs, prime ministers are also clouds, and it is enough to pay a prison official, but they know how to follow the rules, and they refuse to break their traps, and even die. If the king is not, find another way, Prime Minister Zuo to coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, the great disaster, so that the Han family is glorious, this is not a great wisdom can not do it! โ
You are not like that vote, you refuse to follow the old way of the bureaucracy, but to assist Cao Cao, and offer the Son of Heaven to order the policies of the princes.
Xun Yu listened to it and secretly used it, but on the surface, he had to quickly correct Shi Xun: "My offer is to serve the Son of Heaven to please not be a minister, the so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven Yunyun is to pollute my ears!" "What you say is right, but you still need to pay attention to the rhetoric, my idea is to worship the Son of Heaven, not to coerce the Son of Heaven, the difference between one word, praise and depreciation - how can a historian not be extremely cautious!
Shi Xun spread his hands: "Although their names are different, they are actually the same." Huangfu Yizhen and others are worried and afraid of hunger, but they give up the righteousness of the world, so that the king can not only abide by the righteousness, but also be afraid of people's words? The former prime minister sought to get Jiuxi, the students gathered and clamored, and the prime minister of Yun did it, all of which were taught by Ling Jun, although he scratched it, he actually helped it - the junior was screaming, how could Ling Jun care? โ
When Xun Yu heard this, he pulled his face down on the spot: "How can this be true?!" "I'm not as pedantic as Huangfu Song and them, but I don't dare to act recklessly and not worry about the wind and criticism.
Shi Xun "haha" smiled: "I can also try to comment on Ling Jun - Yu Xiegui Cao's family, in order to tilt Han Zuo, the monarch and the minister are transposed, and the reason for the truth." If the beginning of the picture is a Kuang, the end is obedient, the love is subdued, and there is nothing to be accommodated, then Xun Sheng's knowledge is unwise. If you take the help of the people, revitalize it, the people are safe and the monarch is in danger, the original is determined and the society is dead, although Cao is close, Yu Han has been sparse, then Xun Sheng's work is unjust. The weapon of the husband and the dummy man, taking advantage of the power of others, even if he thinks that he owns it, does not end up with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and it is also a shame for a gentleman. A filth is still ashamed, and the situation is plotted for it! โ
When Xun Wenruo heard this, he "snapped" a few cases, and almost jumped up on the spot. (To be continued......)
