Shi Xun commented on the three reasons why the Qin Dynasty fell, and while saying, Zheng Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Why does Ran Qing think Wang Mang was defeated?" ”

Shi Xun replied: "There are also three defeats of recklessness. Do not adapt to the conditions of the times, recklessly retrospectively system, and change the order day and night, so that the people are at a loss, and they will also lose. Superstitious prophecy, the worship of the eleven princes are all in the name of the chapter in vain, and given the authority of the country, its defeat is also two. Frequent changes in spring goods, and set up six rafts, so that the city is prone to depression, the people are troubled, and its defeat is also three. ”

This is basically the wisdom of the Hereafter. A large group of Confucian scholars, including the "Three Jias" (Lu Jia, Jia Yi, and Jia Shan), reflected on the lessons of the Qin Dynasty and advised Gaozu and other emperors to "get it right away, and rather cure it right away"? However, there was a Wang Mang between the two Han Dynasty, and the Han people inevitably wore colored glasses when talking about Mang, and refused to sum up the lessons and lessons in detail, but were accustomed to reprimanding him purely morally for his usurpation and hypocrisy. Being able to analyze the main reason for Wang Mang's death so clearly is that Xun can be regarded as a scorpion - the only one.

So Zheng Xuan listened very carefully, and after listening to it, he muttered for a long time, and then sighed and said, "There is also reason...... What is Confucianism? Describe the way of the sage, self-cultivation, Qi family, and those who want to make the world peaceful, not the poor, but also those who are trapped between the knife and the pen. Qin pits Confucianism was defeated, and Confucianism cannot be abolished; Recklessly reviving Confucianism and defeating, knowing Confucianism cannot be vain. Si understands this reason, and the country is Antai. I don't know what Cao Mengde can get? ”

Shi Xun said with a smile: "Confucius said: 'The road is not good, take the pole to float in the sea.'" 'If Cao Gong is not enough to determine the world, Xun An will do it? Don't doubt it, sir, until you know. "You're just worried that Cao Cao won't be able to stabilize the Han family. Then it would be in vain for me to say more. I'll have to trick you into going through and see.

Zheng Xuan heard this. Leaned back, and slowly closed his eyes: "Okay, then the old man will temporarily believe in Qing's words, whip this rotten bone, and go to Xu Du and his party." ”

Shi Xun came out of Zheng Xuan's cottage, and Xi Xian, Xu Ci and others all gathered around to inquire about the news. Shixun smiled and told them, "It's all about cooperation." The old man agreed to go out of the mountain. Everyone was surprised and delighted, and Ren Yi asked, how did you convince Mr. Shaofu?

It was Xun Shin who said that I didn't bother much. In fact, when you went out, the old man already had an opinion in his heart, and he just wanted to use my insight to explore Cao Cao's insight and guess whether the Xuchang court could be maintained. I copied the wisdom of later generations, and talked to him about the knowledge of history in vain, so that he felt that this disciple grandson was not bad, and the things he advocated might be more reliable, so he made up his mind. But he didn't want to say this to this group of "uncles", so he pretended to twist his beard lightly:

A couple of gentlemen said. Confucianism cannot be abolished, and if Confucianism is abolished, Qin will die. Thou shalt not be vain, for Confucianism is reckless. If Mr. does not enter the permit, then Confucianism or abolition or delusion, the Han family will be glorious, and the world will be peaceful? Mr. thinks, not Confucianism, not economics, the people of the four seas, for the sake of saving the people, why not spur the old bones, trekking mountains and rivers? ”

When the disciples heard this, they were all overjoyed and admired.

So it was Xun who said, for fear of a long night and a lot of dreams, I will go back quickly, play a full guard of honor, and come here to announce the edict. Xi Wei shook his head: "Mr. has made a promise, since it has been agreed, how can there be a ......change" is Xun Xin said that he didn't want to leave, but he was fooled by me, and you instigated him, so he was willing to leave again, is he very determined? Not necessarily. I heard Xi Yu say again: "When the Shaofu returns, it will be dusk, and it will be disrespectful at dusk." It's better to go and come back tomorrow, and I'll just pack up. ”

It's right to think about it, the old man didn't take the edict and set off on the road immediately, so he had to pack up - okay, I'll go back to the house for a night's rest first, I guess you don't have a place for me to live here.

At that moment, he said goodbye to everyone and returned from the fight with Sun Wen. Before he entered the transmission house, Lu Su greeted him and hurriedly asked him, "How is it?" "Yes Xun said that after some hard persuasion from me, Mr. Kang Cheng has promised to go out of the mountain, let's rest for another night, go to proclaim the edict early tomorrow morning, and then urge him to leave. Lu Su frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Since Hongfu went, the herald has come to inquire about the news many times, and I saw someone I didn't know and had a secret discussion with him behind the house......

Shi Xun was slightly shocked when he heard this: "What does Qing mean?" Lu Su said: "I asked the servant in the middle of the news to inquire about the news, it is said that Yuan Jizhou has sent people to recruit Mr. Kang Cheng many times, but Mr. Kang Cheng did not allow it, and then he was forced to be impatient, so he asked Cui Jiqi (Cui Yan) to go to the office on his behalf." I'm afraid that Jizhou may not be happy to see Mr. go to Xudu......"

Hearing this, Shixun couldn't help frowning. Zheng Xuan can be said to be a magnificent banner among the scholars, and he himself may have no role in governance, but his influence is not trivial, just like the horse bones bought by a thousand gold, and Guo Kui ushered in by the construction of the platform. The imperial court wants to get Zheng Xuan, or to be more precise, Cao Cao wants to get Zheng Xuan, so as to speculate on Yuan Shao's thoughts, it should be the same. In the original history, after Zheng Xuan returned to Qingzhou from Langxie, although he did not go out, he was also invited by Yuan Shao and attended several banquets - of course, Yuan Shao would not go to Gaomi to set up a banquet, he invited Zheng Xuan to Yecheng to attend the meeting - this shows that Yuan Shao has always stared at Zheng Xuan, and the second shows that Zheng Xuan did not dare to offend Yuan Shao. Now that he wants to change history and welcome Zheng Xuan to Xudu, can Yuan Shao be happy? Will he intervene in the way?

The more Shixun thought about it, the more difficult it became, and he couldn't help blurting out: "What can I do? He spun around in place irritably, and then suddenly stared at Lu Su: "If Qing is Yuan Jizhou, what will he do?" "Now I can only rely on Lu Su's resourcefulness, let him help envision Yuan Shao's possible tricks first, and then study how to deal with it together.

Lu Su pouted and smiled, and spread his hands: "If I am Yuan Jizhou, or wait for Qing to get the news, how can I deal with it?" "Yuan Shao is in Yecheng in Jizhou, the distance is far away, even if the two sides release pigeons to discuss, it is not so fast-" The person Hongfu wants to deal with is not Yuan Jizhou, but Yuan Qingzhou. "Yuan Tan is stationed in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and the distance is much closer, so he may have gotten the news at this time.

"If I am Yuan Qingzhou," Lu Su analyzed, "I will definitely send someone to block it, so as to wait for Yecheng's instructions-with Su Zhi, Hongfu will wait for tomorrow, and only go to announce the edict today." Urging Mr. Zheng Kangcheng to leave as soon as possible. "Sun Wuzi" has a cloud: "The love of soldiers is the main speed." 'It's just speed. The enemy is hard to deal with. ”

It's Xun Wenyan. He immediately ordered the preparation of the angel honor guard and hurried to pick up Zheng Xuan-but as soon as he waved his hand, he thought thoughtfully, gritted his teeth and thought for a while, and shook his head gently: "At this time, if you go to announce the edict, the sun is already dark, and there is a reason to announce the edict when it is faint?" ”

Lu Su was a little anxious: "It's urgent, why bother talking about these vulgar rites?!" He shook his head: "This is not a common courtesy." Nai Chaoyi also. If a certain edict is clear, he can not obey his etiquette, but this edict Zheng Kangcheng is also hundreds of disciples, all of whom are Confucian students, how dare they not obey the court's etiquette? The angel is rude, to see that the court is not virtuous, the court is not virtuous, how can Zheng Kangcheng be willing to go out of the mountain? ”

He is now representing the imperial court, and his every move affects Zheng Xuan and his disciples' perception of the Xuchang court and Cao Cao. If you don't feel good, even if you carry the banner back. It may not be able to stand up, and it may even cause the opposite effect.

Lu Su was stunned when he heard this: "It's because Su can't worry about this, but ...... There is no way out. ”

Is Xun Xin saying that you Lu Zijing also miscalculated? But it's normal, after all, Lu Su has never been an official, the pattern is a little smaller, and for the psychology of Confucianism, he is not as clear as Xun can see it clearly and accurately - thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little happy. However, if you can't pick up Zheng Xuan in a hurry, how should you deal with Yuan Tan's possible moves? Shi Xun paced left and right for two steps, and said in his heart that this Confucian psychology ...... The Psychology of the Scholars...... What kind of psychological condition will Yuan's family have?

Suddenly had an epiphany, he couldn't help but pat his thigh, and immediately called someone to take a pen and paper, "brush, brush" and write a few lines, and then instructed Sun Wen to return to Zheng's house immediately - "I must hand it over to Xi Hongyu by hand!" According to his observations, among Zheng Xuan's proud disciples, Xi Xuan is the oldest, and this "senior brother" is quite assertive, I hope he can understand his intentions and follow them......

In the early morning of the second day, before the light of day, Shixun hurriedly got up, then dressed neatly, put up a full guard of honor, driven by Sun Wen, accompanied by Lu Su, and hurried to Zheng's house. At about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, when I finally arrived at Zheng's house, I saw that the three floors and the outer three floors of the courtyard outside the grass house were crowded with people, which was more than the audience when Zheng Xuan opened his lecture yesterday.

Seeing that the scene in front of him was so lively, Shi Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Xi Hongyu lived up to my trust. At that moment, the people reprimanded and opened the way, and the carriage lined up the crowd and went straight to the field. Seeing that the white-haired Zheng Xuan and his disciples were waiting in the middle of the courtyard, but to the surprise of Xun, there was also a high-crowned Bo belt, accompanying Zheng Xuan, and his appearance was quite familiar - why did he come? It's coming so fast!

As soon as he saw the carriage approaching, the man hurriedly took two steps forward and arched his hand towards Shixun: "Hongsuke, don't come to harm?" ”

Ever since he saw this person, his eyes have been rolling wildly, and when the other party opened his mouth to say hello, he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and he didn't return the salute at the moment, but just waved his sleeves: "The Son of Heaven has an edict, Gaomi Zheng Xuan kneels to take it, and others retreat!" ”

The man was still unwilling, and even reached out and pulled the reins of the carriage: "Don't you remember so-and-so?" Why do you have to be like this......" Shi Xun glared at his eyes: "If you dare to obstruct the edict of the Son of Heaven, what crime should you be guilty of?!" As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Su beside him. Lu Su comprehended and shouted: "It's disrespectful, you should be beheaded!" ”

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, and seeing that the servant of Shi Xun had already shown a long knife, he smiled unwillingly and reluctantly and shrank aside. Zheng Xuan looked at Shi Xun, and then at the person, he couldn't help but smile, but he immediately straightened his appearance, took a step forward with the support of his disciples, knelt beside the car, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister Gaomi Zheng Xuan respectfully welcomes the edict of the Son of Heaven." ”

Shixun jumped out of the carriage briskly, stood in front of Zheng Xuan, and read the edict. This edict is much longer than the edict he worshiped Zhang Xiu as the Taishou of Nanyang that day. The basic content is nothing more than that: Sikong Cao Cao played, asked Zheng Xuan to be the great Si Nong, recruited into the court, and asked him to bring his disciples to Xuchang together, choose the best and use them, in order to revitalize the scriptures - the Son of Heaven allowed, "the system can be said".

The edict was written in bamboo abbreviation, and after the reading was completed, it was rolled up again. Zheng Xuan looked to the south, shouted "Long live", and then immediately took the edict from Shi Xun's hands - indicating that he accepted it, and planned to ride with the angel to Xu Capital.

At this time, the edict left his hand, and it was Xun who raised his eyebrows, piled up a smile on his face, and turned to the person who stopped the car just now: "Prince, if you are negligent, don't be guilty." (To be continued......)
