Chapter 23, Youzhou Ministers
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
He gave a lecture at Taihak, first trying to reinforce the students' concept of "state".
Because the scholars of this era did not have a complete concept of the state, let alone what "patriotism" was, they often only had the concept of the family, in the eyes of most scholars, the so-called Han Tianzi was not a representative of the country, but only a representative of the largest family in the world. The people of the Ming Dynasty could say that "the country has raised soldiers for a hundred and fifty years", but the scholars of the Han Dynasty could not say this. They will only think that it is because of the family's influence in the local area or in the court that I can either be recommended or enter the office because of the budding shade, in addition to my own efforts, I rely on the support of the family to get ahead. Country? What benefits have you given me? Why did you raise me?
Confucianism talks about loyalty to the king, but the early idea of loyalty to the king is different from that of later generations, loyalty to the king can actually be equated with "loyalty to the superior", for the scholar, he wants to be loyal to the superior doctor, the doctor is loyal to the princes of the superiors, and the princes are loyal to the superior of the Son of Heaven. It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty engaged in "great unification" that he began to warn his subjects that you should be loyal to the monarch at all levels, but you should be loyal to me, the greatest monarch in the world. However, by the end of the Han Dynasty, this idea had not been thoroughly integrated into the hearts of the people, as evidenced by the fact that bureaucrats and their subordinates could still be commensurate with monarchs and ministers.
Therefore, it was Xun who first wanted to set up the country, take the Son of Heaven as the representative of the country, and asked the scholars to take loyalty to the Son of Heaven as the appearance and loyalty to the country as the essence, hoping to eradicate the poisonous seedling of family interests from the ideology, so as to prevent the continued expansion and decay of the clan of the gate lord.
Therefore, he said, "The prophet loves his relatives, and then he loves his neighbor, and he loves his family, and he loves his country," without mentioning the Son of Heaven; He also said that "love is in the family, and in the king, as for the country", and put the "king" (can be the superior or the son of heaven) one level lower than the "country".
Only the concept of the state and the concept of patriotism of the scholars were cultivated. in order to enhance cohesion and resist foreign insults that may be surging in the future. As for things like personal value and freedom of thought, we can't talk about it at this stage, and those new trends of thought will only increase the centrifugal force, and before destroying the family, we will first cross the country.
His first lesson in Taixue was concise and to the point. It's only been half an hour—the amount of goods in my stomach is limited, and I can't talk about it anymore. Then take a glass of water to moisten your throat and start asking questions for students. At that time, the teacher rarely spent much time answering students' questions unless there was a small class—for example, Zheng Xuan didn't have a Q&A session at all as soon as the lecture started on the fifth day of Gaomi.
Students ask questions. It was a challenge for Shixun, because he was neither a thinker nor a pure scholar himself, and his strengths were only good at words. But in the face of so many students, you can't always rely on sophistry to get by, you have to shake some dry goods. Therefore, he declared in advance: "The son said: 'What is known is what is known.'" I don't know it, I don't know. 'The sages are still like this, but I'm waiting?' ”
After finishing it, he plagiarized Han Yu's "Shi Shuo": "Confucius Shi Tanzi, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan." The disciple of Tanzi is not as virtuous as Confucius. Confucius said: 'If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher.' Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts. That's it. If you can make it difficult for me, it's not that I'm not virtuous, but if you have a specialty. I can't answer Qing and others, I am not enough to be a teacher, but I can be a teacher. Whatever you want, you can ask anything. "Let's speak first, if you have any doubts, just mention them. But I can't necessarily answer that.
But having said that, there are actually very few people who are really thoughtful among the students, and many people just pick out the scriptures and righteousness, and they are beaten by Shi Xun in a few words. Some talked about filial piety and loyalty, but it was not unexpected that Ye Xun was unexpected. Basically, his first class was relatively smooth.
But even so, after finishing the class, he was still sweating, and even his voice was a little hoarse, and he turned around and said to Xu Ci: "Today I know that it is not easy to be a teacher." Then in front of the students, he directly handed the book of "The Book of Filial Piety" in his hand to Zhuge Jin: "Give it to Qing, and study it diligently." ”
Zhuge Jin was inexplicably grateful, respectful, and took it with both hands. Soon, this kid was surrounded by students, and everyone reached out and wanted to touch the book, wondering, how did it be bound?
Zhuge Jin is a smart person, he often comes and goes to Xunfu, and he knows very well that Xun Jianfang is making paper and planning to sell paper, so in front of his classmates, he said that it is convenient to use paper, and said: "This is made by the old Yanzhou Thorn Shi Cao Gongfang, and its quality is the crown of Kanto." "Yes Xun has already taken care of them, and I will honestly explain to my friends Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan that it is my own workshop, don't go around talking nonsense, and when others ask, I will report Cao De's name.
Papermaking, that is for his own habits, but also for the culture to be more convenient to spread, if he can sell money to enrich his pocket, of course it is better, he didn't want to be written in the history books as Cai Lun's second.
Yesun is very leisurely during this period of time. An official in the service, originally a loose post, for the emperor's direct command, after Emperor Wu gradually became a new official in other positions, he had to enter the forbidden middle to do things, arrest Wei and Jin and the power of the prime minister. But Xun only has the name of a servant on his head, and he doesn't have an official, so he still only has an advisor, in other words, he doesn't have anything to do if he doesn't ask.
It is estimated that the last time he was in the Deyang Palace, Liu Xie was scared, so he has not issued an order to summon Shixun these days. It was Hongfu who was happy to be idle, reading at home, going to Taixue to teach, occasionally asking about the process of papermaking and carving, or pretending to meet by chance and going to chat with Gan's family.
Cao Miao and Gan get along well, but Shi Xun feels that most of this comes from pity for Gan's tragic marriage. She also once asked her husband how he planned to deal with the Gan family, he couldn't keep it in our house all the time, Shi Xun just waved his hand: "And wait for Cao Gong to return, and then make plans." ”
Yes, I can't be idle for too long, Cao Cao has been filial piety for thirty-six days, and he will be back soon. If a telegram can be photographed, the whole world knows that Cao Cao has temporarily left Xudu, and I don't know how many princes want to secretly covet it, Yuan Shao and his ilk are likely to take the opportunity to cause some friction on the border and occupy a dangerous place first. It's just that with today's communication, it is estimated that when Yuan Shao knows and thinks clearly, Cao Cao should be removed.
However, he didn't expect that there was no need to see Tian'er to go to Sikong Mansion for a meeting, and it didn't necessarily mean that there would be no meeting. One day, Xun Yu suddenly wrote a book to summon him, but Xun thought that he was just chatting casually and contacting his feelings, so he was happy to go, and when he arrived at Xun's house, not only Xun Yu's nephew Xun Yu was there, but also Guo Jia, Zhong Xuan, and Mao Jue were there, and even the Cao Ren brothers and Xiahoudun brothers were all there. Ah, this is no ordinary tea party.
Hurry up and ask Xun Yu, is this what happened? Xun Wenruo nodded and said bluntly: "Guan Shi came from Yijing to ask for forgiveness. ”
Cao Jiaban paid attention to collecting information on Youzhou and Hebei, and Xun was especially concerned, he was afraid that history would be completely changed because of his own disturbances, Yuan Shao killed Gongsun in advance, and then went south to fight Cao Cao unguarded. Fortunately, at present, the situation in the north does not show much of a sign, Gongsun Chan is still holding on to the death in Yijing, there are still many soldiers under his command, and there is plenty of food and grass. Although he will die sooner or later with this kind of sitting and guarding, Yuan Shao had no choice but to accompany him, and he did not dare to retreat the main force, fearing that "the wildfire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate".
It is estimated that according to this situation, it will take at least a year for Yuan Shao to wipe out Gongsun, and then spend a year sweeping away the rest of the party and stabilizing the rear, how can it take five years to Jian'an to officially tear his face with Cao Cao - it is only a year and a half earlier than the original history. Shixun is not in a hurry, I think we still have time.
So if he hadn't paid great attention to the war situation in the north, otherwise the person "Guan Shiqi" really wouldn't have remembered where the sacredness was - this person's name was Guan Jing, a favorite minister of Gongsun Zhan, and the history books commented that "Ben Ku is also a flattering official, and he has no big plans." What did this person do when he suddenly came to Xuchang? "Asking for forgiveness"? How can there be forgiveness?
The disputes between the princes, just like when Zheng Xuan asked Cao Cao "what is Yuan Shu's crime", there was basically no edict from the imperial court, either purely for land grabbing, or for personal vendettas. Therefore, the imperial court did not explicitly order a crusade against Gongsun Zhan, and which one did Gongsun Chan send Guan Jing to ask for forgiveness?
I heard Mao Jue laughing next to him: "This is because I heard that Yuan Highway was relegated." ”
Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shu for many years, after Xuchang supported the imperial court, under the guidance of Zheng Xuan, the Ming edict declared his guilt, and the soldiers crusaded, Yuan Shu was forced to send his staff officer Yan Xiang to the court to ask for forgiveness, just Cao Cao was temporarily unable to completely sweep it away, so he pretended to grant his request. It is estimated that Gongsun Zhan heard about this, so he sent Guan Jing to run over, and also wanted to follow Yuan Shu's example and ask the imperial court to issue an edict of pardon for him.
Of course, it is not that Yuan Shao is willing to withdraw from the army after a pardon, but in this way, Yuan Shao will be burdened with the black cauldron of disobedience, which is a blow to his military morale and morale, and it can also weaken the support of the Youshi and Ji clans for him. Besides, Yuan Shao wanted to fight, but Cao Cao didn't let him fight, so could the two of them continue to be harmonious? Yuan Shao must quickly transfer troops and horses to defend the southern front, and the pressure on Gongsun on the northern line will naturally be reduced.
Thinking that on the same day, Xun presented Cao Cao with the "Lingzhou County Temporary Strike Edict", Cao Cao turned his head and scattered everywhere, while sending the edict to Guanzhong, he also sent Cheng Yu south to Jiangdong to relieve Sun Ce and Yan Baihu, and sent Wang Bi to Jingzhou to lobby Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xian, etc., and sent Pei Mao to Shuzhong to ask Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu to strike their own troops. He only didn't dare to send someone to find Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, because he didn't want to completely turn his face with Yuan Shao.
Shi Xun instantly figured out the whole clue and context, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that Guan Shi was flattering and had no plan, and Gongsun was credited, but he would be defeated." If this plan is described, it should not be underestimated. "It's a poisonous ploy.
The poison is poisonous, and it is clear that he wants to provoke disputes between Yuan and Cao, but Cao Cao is bound to ignore it completely. Guan Jing came to ask for forgiveness on behalf of Gongsun Zhan, that is, he made a clear statement: I can't bear it, it's almost over, when I'm done, Yuan Shaobing pointed out, the next one is you - even if you can help me survive for a year and a half, it will definitely be beneficial to you. What to do, you can figure it out and figure it out for yourself.
So, what exactly to do? Shihoon couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
