Chapter 27: I am afraid that it will be deceitful
PS: There may be readers and friends who feel that this chapter is water, and the plot is not promoted, but in order to spread out in the future, some things still have to be explained clearly, sorry.
Shi Xun has a lot of ambitions and a lot of distractions, and he is 108,000 miles away from the "selfless" realm that Guan Jing said, but he has always been kind to people in the Cao family's camp, and he is reluctant to conflict with others - even if he has long known that he will rebel in the future, such as Chen Gong and other characters, he just tries to stay away. However, where there is a crowd, there must be contradictions, conflicts, and tilting, and you can't hide if you want to, in Shixun's view, it's simply "sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from the sky", and somehow, he was hit by an arrow in the knee......
Previously, when he was in Xudu, he hired Guan Jing as his teacher and staff officer in the political struggle, and had many secret talks with Guan Jing behind closed doors - occasionally called Zhuge Liang - to analyze the current situation in the court, the partisan dispute, and the reasons for his slander and slander, and he benefited a lot from the correct position.
The two largest political factions within the Cao Cao group were the "Ruying faction" and the "Qian Pei faction", the former leaning towards the big families and mainly Confucian scholars, and the latter leaning towards the Hanmen Shu clan and the military nobles. Although Shixun is more inclined to the latter from a position, he did not explicitly join at first, and he can be regarded as a "free school". It's a pity that the "Loose Faction" didn't last long, and soon suffered from the secret arrows from the "Ruying Faction".
He was the Taishou of Hedong, and Cao Cao collected his military power, and Xun Yu Xun Wenruo was the first to be recommended, and Xun Yu was the leader of the "Ruying faction". Later, he made a history of merging state assassinations, which set off a wave of public opinion and forced him to resign voluntarily. Investigate after the fact. Most of them are also from the "Ruying faction". Of course, there is a purely philosophical rather than utilitarian controversy. For example, if you take Xianbei in Bingzhou, you still think that Wei is a fake son, and you will express dissent and distrust of this, of course, it is mainly based on traditional Confucian scholars - that is, the basic plate of the "Ruying faction" - and the military nobles do not care much about this.
The battle of ideas is convenient for counterattack, after all, Xun hangs the title of Zheng's descendant, and also has a certain right to speak in Zhengmen, wanting to seize the highest point of public opinion. It wasn't difficult for him. Later, he took advantage of the opportunity to trap Zhao Da, and in front of the onlookers, he carefully expounded his concept of Yuhu, which was equivalent to slapping some people in the face.
However, in the battle for utilitarianism, it is not easy to win by fighting on your own, and you must first have enough supporters in politics - this is one of the main reasons why Xun has a clear banner to join the "Chen Pei faction".
Shixun couldn't figure it out at first, with his identity and status, even if he couldn't be said to be important in the party struggle, it should be the goal of all parties to fight for rather than attack, and when he was still a "free faction". Why did the "Ruying faction" secretly cast cold arrows, and the director himself had to rely on the "Chen Pei faction"? Or after Guan Jing analyzed him in detail. It dawned on me.
Of course, the "Ruying faction" did not want Shixun to fall into the camp of the "Qian Pei faction", but they knew that it might cause Shixun's disgust and might make Shixun throw himself into the arms of the other party, but they had to exert force to suppress it. Without him, because if he hadn't suppressed it, he would have been a member of the "Qian Pei faction" sooner or later.
Because the "Ruying faction" is based on traditional Confucian scholars, it is Xun who should be biased towards the "Ruying faction" in terms of its original identity and status - of course, it is Hongfu himself who hates the decadent family, and he hides this matter very deeply, and Cao Cao knows the roots better - but if he guards the pastoral frontier for a long time and firmly controls the military power, he is likely to become a new military nobleman, and thus become the basic plate of the "Chen Pei faction".
Of course, there are not no people in the "Ruying faction" who are not in charge of troops, but most of them are not high in status and have limited influence, and they are just vassals; It is not that no one in the "Qian Pei faction" can engage in civil affairs, such as Ren Jun, but his position has long been very firm. Just like Sima Yi later, he himself is a representative of the family, and in terms of guarding, it is for the interests of the family to grasp the military power, and the "Ruying faction" is optimistic about its success. The problem is that Xun's position has not yet been clarified, so at this time, he will take charge of the army and become a new military nobleman, which will inevitably contribute to the "Qian Pei faction".
Therefore, Xun Yu and others opposed Shi Xun in charge, and their original intention was not to push him to the other side's camp, on the contrary, in their opinion, they were "saving" Shi Xun. You are a scholar and a leader in articles, what kind of effort are you going to mix with those stinky soldiers!
Guan Jing's analysis ends here, and it can be said that his understanding of the political situation is very profound, and his analysis is also very good. But the problem is that it is limited to its own vision, and its knowledge is limited after all, and some things may not be clear to Shixun. It was Xun Tong Guò Guan Jing's reminder, and he soon realized that Xun Wenruo was disgusted with him, and I am afraid that there was another level of reason-
Thinking that Dong Cheng rebelled and held the Son of Heaven hostage, Xun Yu patrolled and did not dare to attack, but was opened by Shi Xun - "I'll come!" Almost regardless of the safety of the Son of Heaven, Dong Chengge was killed on the spot. At that time, Xun Yu may not have any special ideas, and after thinking about it afterwards, he must be in a cold sweat: there is no king in Hongfu's eyes, and it is even if it is!
History proves that Xun Yu was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, or although he may not be loyal, he never dared to risk the disapproval of the world and keep up with the footsteps of the Cao family's usurpation of power. Therefore, he will faintly feel very dangerous for Xun, who fundamentally despises the Son of Heaven, and if such a dangerous person is in charge of the army again, it will be another Cao Cao! Supporting Cao Cao to hegemon to defend the Han Dynasty, this is a special measure in a special period, and it cannot be copied, if this ideological tendency of Shixun is added to Cao Cao, it is likely to mess up the Han world, and if it is not added to Cao Cao, it is even more likely to mess up the hegemony of the Cao family!
Besides, it is Xun who wrote essays and lectures, tried his best to advocate Mencius's idea of "the people are noble and the king is light", and preached the supremacy of the country and the nation rather than the supremacy of the monarch......
Therefore, Xun Yuzhi is Xun, or it is better to say that the people of insight in the "Ruying faction" are indeed in conflict with clear concepts - it's just that this kind of thing is just Xun himself who wants to figure it out, and there is no need to reveal it to Guan Jing or Zhuge Liang.
To say that Xun is the hidden enemy of the court, in addition to Xun Yu, there is also a Guo Jia. Guo Jia should be inclined to the "Qian Pei faction" in terms of the origin of the small and medium-sized family, and in terms of his Yingchuan origin and Xun Yu's recommendation, he should be inclined to the "Ruying faction", but in fact, he is the same as the original Xun, he is the "free faction", and neither side is willing to touch.
Guo Fengxiao has no ambitions, his ideals are very simple, he wants to be a staff officer in Cao Cao's curtain and help him unify the world, so even if he refuses to take sides clearly, no one will provoke him - just like if Xun is willing to be a diplomat all his life, then no one will come to provoke him. Therefore, Guo Jia's status is very detached, and he is cold-faced and cold-hearted, everything is judged impartially, and he is not afraid of offending people at all. In fact, in a sense, it is Xun who thinks that Guo Fengxiao is more "selfless" than Xun Wenruo.
Guo Jia pulled Shixun's hind legs, and it looked insignificant in Guan Jing, so he didn't have to pay attention to it. As the intelligence head of the Cao family, he must be a "lonely minister" and dare not communicate with the outside world, so it is normal for the hot Shixun to occasionally tap twice to show that he has no party with him.
It's just that Guan Jing doesn't know some of the inside information - in order to solicit opinions and seek countermeasures, Shixun did say a lot to him, but he still concealed something. Shi Xun has planned for Cao Cao many times, pointing directly to the hearts of the people, others may not be able to perceive and associate it, but they will inevitably not escape Guo Jia's eyes. Guo Fengxiao's traces left in history are equally profound and sharp, but they are also cloudy and foggy, and he seems to be able to see through everything at a glance and directly put forward arguments without any need for arguments at all. Shi Xun had doubts in his previous life, and when he came to this life, joined the Cao family's camp, and then mixed into the cardinal, it was finally determined that Guo Jia's strategy mainly came from his super intelligence collection and analysis ability, and a lot of information could only be reported to Cao Cao alone, and outsiders had no way to understand, so his strategy seemed to have arguments but no basis.
Many of Shixun's schemes also come from intelligence, but this information is not obtained by collecting, but by reading historical materials and reading historical theories in the previous life, and even extrapolating the past from the future. Therefore, Guo Jia will feel that Shi Xun has a secret source of information that he does not know, and the most terrifying thing is that even Cao Cao does not know this source of information......
Isn't it scary that this is Kosuke? Isn't it worth guarding against, or even having to restrain it?
As far as Xun himself is concerned, he gradually feels that it is a very interesting thing in other towns - after all, he has the final say on his own in the huge territory, which is much more comfortable than being an official in China and North Korea. Besides, if you are in the court, you will inevitably have to compete with Er Xun, Guo Jia and others, if Cao Cao has any questions, those few people have their own unique opinions, but he is Hongfu can't say why, how embarrassing is it? As history gradually deviates from the right track, Shi Xun can give Cao Cao fewer and fewer ideas, so he will feel a lot of pressure when he is in the center.
However, not long after leaving the town, he was deprived of military rights, and then the town resigned due to slander, and came back to discuss with Guan Jingyi, and Shixun had no choice but to accept his fate. On the one hand, he clearly threw himself into the "Qian Pei faction" and promised that he had a group to rely on, no longer a lonely person, and no longer afraid of being attacked by others, on the other hand, if you don't let me go out, then I won't go out.
But unexpectedly, today Cao Cao solicited the opinions of the ministers and left people to guard Youzhou, but Xun You and Guo Jia both recommended Shixun at the same time, and Shixun couldn't help but be surprised. Although Xun Yu is also a representative of the "Ruying faction", he has been a bureaucrat since the time of Emperor Ling, and his personality is much more slippery than Xun Yu. However, it is conceivable that if others mention that Xun is guarding Youzhou, Xun Yu does not express his position, there is still something to speak of, and he takes the initiative to recommend Xun, then there must be his little uncle Xun Yu behind him.
And Guo Jia, hasn't this person always been at odds with him? Haven't you been looking at yourself with a very doubtful gaze? Why did you offer to let yourself guard Youzhou? Is he true or false? Did you set some trap waiting for yourself to drill? Thinking of this, Shi Xun couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and didn't dare to accept this appointment lightly......
