What did it mean when Shixun whispered to Zheng Hun? "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong", this must be worried.

Do you think that Chen Yi and Wei Wei set a trap today, just to damage my reputation, and want to use me as a stepping stone, so that I can step on it and become famous? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? If you think about it, Wei Wei once recited the "Decree on Seeking Talents", questioning Cao Cao's "meritocracy" employment policy, Chen Yi also said that I "don't want to enter the moral people to see its shortcomings, and the special envoy Wei Wang 'meritocracy' yes" - the spearhead is not actually Cao Cao, right?!

Cao Cao's policy of employing people based on meritocracy is indeed at odds with traditional Confucian morality, and it will inevitably shake the foundation of the Shi clan - since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shi clan has been accustomed to flaunting morality and controlling public opinion in order to stabilize the position of the class. Chen Qun was anxious to put forward the "Nine-Grade Zhongzheng System", and he also wanted to reverse Cao Cao's tendency to employ people - Zhongzheng character was originally the first in morality, the second in talent, and the third in family background, but he was completely controlled by the family after not being too young, why? Because the family advocates and advocates morality the most, so the family background can be equated with morality, even if your Shu clan is talented, I say that you are not morally passable, that is, it is not passing, and first and last.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao's new employment policy was introduced, it was questioned by all sides. Of course, Cao Cao's power and authority are there, and no one dares to refute it openly except for those who are brave and loyal like Kong Rong and don't think about the consequences. However, there are really not a few violators of yang and yin, and there are really not a few people who disagree in private, which is also the original history of Cao Cao successively issued the "Order to Abolish the Shortness of the Order" and the "Order to Promote the Virtuous and Do Not Restrict Conduct". An important reason for repeatedly reiterating their employment philosophy.

Look at it from this point of view. Wei sarcastic and Ren Ran questioned the "meritocracy". It is not a strange thing to think that virtue comes first; Even Chen Yi, although he is the prime minister, eats Cao's family food instead of Liu's family's food, but he is not worthy of Cao Cao's words, and it is common to seize an opportunity to complain in front of his friends. Even if they took advantage of the opportunity of Shi Xun's resignation to deliberately attack Cao Cao's policy in front of Shi Xun, as long as they didn't go too far. Yes Xun had no choice but to endure it - even Cao Cao didn't dare to do this kind of thing like "becoming guilty of words", and he had to rack his brains to clean up a hole Rong, not to mention that it was Xun who had a face better than Cao Cao?

However, Wei Wei and Chen Yi not only insisted that Shi Xun was corrupt and took bribes, but even mobilized the county soldiers privately to search Shi Xun's luggage, but also said "King Wei is only talented and not only virtuous, but specially set up for the public", then their true intentions are quite questionable. If you only want to slander Shi Xun, you can raise the banner of Cao Cao—for example, Cao Cao advocates frugality. Oppose extravagance and waste - the effect is bound to be better, how can there be anti-Cao Cao's theory to attack the truth of Shixun?

In fact, their true intentions. Wouldn't it be that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make Shixun stink and question Cao Cao's employment theory head-on?

You see, Lao Cao is because you use people only to be virtuous, so there is such a hypocrite and a big silverfish around you. So are you being deceived by Shixun? Or do you know to pretend not to know, and ignore its virtues in order to use its talents? By doing so, can you really lead the world to peace and prosperity?

Cao Cao is also a scholar after all, and the most basic face is still needed, which cannot be compared to pure martial artists such as Zhu Quanzhong and Shi Jingjiao in later generations. In these years, even Dong Taishi and Lu Lianggong did not dare to completely ignore the public opinion of Shilin.

So, Gong Wen, did you say that Chen Yi, Wei Wei and others wanted to slap Cao Cao's face and tarnish Cao Cao's name?

When Zheng Hun heard this, how could he not be surprised? Okay, there are so many bold people in my jurisdiction, who want to dirty the bastards of Hongfu in the world, then it's enough for me to drink a pot, if it comes out is a complete anti-thief - of course, it's anti-Cao not anti-Han - can my narrow shoulders really carry it? I'm the end of this official!

In fact, what Xun said, and it was just a personal guess. If the opponent is changed, his psychology is not so dark, and he may not think of this one, but the opponent is Wei Wei, it is a famous thief in history in the future (whether it is an unjust case or not), it is Xun who instinctively thinks, is that kid against himself, or does he want to take the opportunity to oppose Cao? Moreover, although framing the minister of the state is a serious crime, at most it is hard labor or exile, and he is pardoned and spared every few years, and he Wei Zijing is a good man. Shi Xun had already moved his murderous intent just now, how could he allow Wei Wei to get out so lightly?

Affected by these two factors, after thinking about it, Shi Xun quietly told Zheng Hun of his speculation, and instructed him: "Chen Yi is the prime minister, and he is quite famous in Kanto, such as Liu Gongpang, Zhang Zibu, etc., if they have the heart to rebel against Cao, wouldn't it be terrifying?" Gong Wen should strictly inspect it, don't let the swallowing boat be a leak! ”

After Zheng Hun was shocked, when he heard Shi Xun's words, he couldn't help but nod again and again, and said: "Hun didn't think about it, but fortunately he woke up." After this incident, he lowered his posture, and "Yes Jun" naturally became "Yes Gong" again.

However, after this chagrinous incident, the big guy has long lost the mood to drink and eat meat, so Shixun went to the banquet again to play a fancy whistle, accepted the toast with the banquet and apologized, and then left the table to sleep peacefully on the excuse of the fatigue of the journey. Zheng Hun escorted Wei Wei and Ren Lan back to Luoyang overnight for strict interrogation, and prepared to impeach Chen Yi.

Immediately, Xun Yi summoned Guan Jing and Zhou Budo in the bedroom, and when it came to the past, the three of them were all afraid. Zhou Budo said: "There are many rotten owls in the forest, Mr. is lying quietly, he thinks he is dead, but they are all gathered, and they must not be worried." "You just resigned, and there are countless villains who think that they can bully you, so as to step on you to make a name or take a position, it is estimated that this is just the beginning, and there will be no less trouble in the future.

Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Those who know the position of the corpse are not unwilling to give up their authority, but they dare not." King Wei is planning for his descendants and fearing that the country will be in danger, which is really true! ”

In the original history, Cao Cao wrote a "Let the County Clarify the Essence of the Chronicles" in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, in this timeline, there is no matter of letting the county, let alone taking the opportunity to "self-evident Chronicles", but the basic meaning to be expressed in the article is also scattered in his articles. It also includes these sentences from the original decree:

"Let the country be lonely, I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be kings! Or people see that they are lonely and strong, and they don't believe in the destiny of heaven, they are afraid of selfish judgments, and they have no inferior ambitions, and they are vain...... However, if you want to donate the soldiers of the prison to return the deacons and return to the Marquis of Wuping, it is really impossible. Who? I am afraid that I will leave the army and cause disaster to others. If you are planning for your descendants, but if you are defeated, the country will be in danger, and you will not be able to deal with real disasters without admiring false fame, and you must not do anything! ”

Some people say that Cao Cao, if you are really a loyal minister of the Han family, then put down your soldiers and horses, return to the domain, and spend your old age in peace, why do you keep tyrannizing your authority? Cao Cao said don't be stupid, if I let go of my authority, I will inevitably suffer a man-made disaster, and even my bones will be gone. Therefore, for the sake of my descendants, I am also afraid that after I fail, the country will be in danger, so "I must not be in vain and deal with real disasters" - Lao Tzu will not do it!

It was Xun who said that I only understood today that Cao Cao was really right. I have just handed over the post of Wei Zhongshuling, and there are so many boys who jumped out to make trouble and want to frame me, once it really stinks me because of this, is it possible for me to make a comeback?

Zhou Budo sighed: "The people's actions are to support themselves, and the king's officials are to govern the country." However, the officials are dressed in splendor, their abdomen is full of ointment, life and death, and they are extremely rich, and they are all greedy people. If you admire it, you will hope to replace it, so you let go of evil and extravagance, and do everything. It is not expensive to be a king, and it is hard for the officials, and everyone is allowed to do it! ”

Why did the legend say that Tang Yao wanted to give up the throne to the sage Xu You, but Xu You not only didn't accept it, but was also busy running to the river to wash his ears? Because at that time, serving the king was really serving the people, which was a chore. If, like now, the king was extremely noble, the officials enjoyed enough, and they could decide the life and death of others at will, where would there be any reason? The ones that came out were a bunch of villains who wanted to climb up on someone else's feet - no, you've run into a few of them today.

Shi Xun couldn't help but educate Zhou Budo again: "In its ancient world, fifty clothes and seventy meat-eating, wouldn't people have no desire?" For it is not available. Now there is a rest of the land, and of the loom, and of the merchants, and the rest must be possessed by others. Today's dogs and horses are more edible than the Li Shu of the past; Today's Li Shu eats more than the rich people of the past; Today's small officials, eating more than the kings of the past - time changes, the old evils disappear, and the new evils are born, and those who can be changed are not compassionate and compassionate, and those who can change the world. ”

You can't imagine that I was just an ordinary citizen in my previous life, but my food, clothing, and daily enjoyment were already better than many old landlords before liberation. That's how society develops, you just complain about the sky, it's useless, why do you think about these depressing things all day long?

Guan Jing smiled beside him: "In the past, there was a township, and he stayed at home for 30 years, and his family was also a little rich, his father was kind and filial to his son, his brother loved his brother, and he was not jealous. The chaos in the eastern part of the country was arrested, the soldiers were intertwined, the family was ruined, and the wives were separated, thinking that the world was going to die and the line was about to be returned to the beasts. It is that everyone has seen little, so the ambition is short. Yuan Zhi is to follow the lord and listen to the teachings in person, so that he can get rid of this delusion. "Boy, you are still short-sighted, you have to watch, listen and think more in order to keep up with your teacher's footsteps, and you won't ponder what you have and don't have all day long, sigh and say deviant words.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of "Bi Peeling" on the door, and then a voice came in: "Mo Nai Fu Zhiye, I don't know if the public can sleep in peace?" That is, when you ask about your life. ”

Shi Xun glanced at Guan Jing suspiciously. Guan Jing smiled slightly, that means, I know this person's intention, it doesn't matter, you let him in - after all, he is also the master of this room, the queen of Confucianism, although he is white, he should also give him some face.
