In these years, because of the low level of transportation, the vast majority of scholars are only walking around the countryside all their lives, and those who can often deal with each other are either the same clan or fellow villagers, so the conservative concept of family and region is very strict - in fact, even after two thousand years, regional posts still often appear on the Internet?

If local families and scholars want to firmly grasp the real power in the local area, and even want to go out of the imperial court and further expand the scope of power, they will inevitably form gangs and factions and provide mutual aid - this is exactly what the eunuchs accused of "friends" in front of the emperor. "Friends" is not a pure slander, and the eunuch's method of attacking political opponents is groundless and not without cause. Scholars form party aid with each other, mainly relying on the three ways of mentorship, official career and township.

Shi Xun instantly understood the true meaning of Wang Xiu's words. Wang Shuzhi is the same as his family, they are all big clans in Beihai Yingling - of course, the big clan of a county, the whole county, the whole state, and even the whole country, then it is nothing, and what Hongnong Yang, Runan Yuan, Hanoi Sima, etc., can not be compared at all, even the Cao family and Xiahou family in Qian County can't be compared. Wang Xiu is a new descendant to the Cao family, although he has been awarded a state assassin history, after all, the foundation is shallow, if there is no one in the court to help, this eunuch road will be bumpy.

So who should be the helper? Obviously, he was born in the same township, was an official to 2,000 stones, and was the in-law of Cao Sikong who was in power, so only Xun is Hongfu. Therefore, Wang Xiu pushed his two sons to Shi Xun as a guest, hoping that Xun would miss the friendship of his fellow villagers and take him with him from then on.

And Wang Xiu also reminded Shi Xun, although you haven't lived in your hometown for a long time, don't forget your old family. People of Qingzhou. All can be your henchmen. You also need to nurture these henchmen. so that he can stand more firmly in the court.

Yes Xun thinks about it, as recommended by Xun's uncle and nephew, most of them are celebrities from Yan and Henan, in other words, these two states are the basic plate of Xun's family, and others can't shake it. If he wants to compete with the Xun clan, he must also firmly grasp the hearts of the scholars in certain regions, and tie them to his chariot visibly or invisibly. Yikes. Why didn't you think about this before? The talents promoted and recommended by themselves are available everywhere in the south and north of the world, basically according to the map of the "Three Kingdoms", once this region is scattered, it will be difficult to hold a group!

It seems that Wu Zhen, Qin Yi and other single family members are just fine, they themselves may not be accommodated in the wealthy families in their hometowns, and if they want to climb up, they have to firmly attach themselves to the lord who is not a fellow villager-that is, themselves. Like Sima Yi is a big clan in Hanoi, he can completely pull the flag and stand on his own, if Dong Meng really returns to the clan the next day, his waist will gradually harden. may not be willing to hold on to himself and not let go. If you want to use it most easily, you have to rely on the people in your hometown.

It's ridiculous, though. But this is the way it is to use it rather than ridicule it.

It's all to blame for pretending to be a clan, and there was no territorial affiliation at all before, and I feel that everyone in the world is equal, and I don't know who may be my ancestor. So I just thought about seeking support among the disciples of Zhengmen, and I just thought about seeking support by recruiting customers and recommending talents, but compared to recommending fellow villagers, it was really half the effort.

Well, the basic plate of the Xun family is Yan and Henan...... Today, it can be counted as three states.

Since the basic success of dividing the prefectures into Sili and Qing and Ji, Cao Cao also divided the other states under his control. Yanzhou was split into two states of Yan and Tai, and Yuzhou was split into two states of Yu and Chen, of which Qiaozhou was centered on Qiaoxian County, which could barely be regarded as the basic plate of Cao's and Xiahou's, and Xun's was not easy to interfere, so only Yan, Tai and Henan were left.

The people of Sizhou are mostly led by Hongnong Yang; The people of Jizhou are mostly led by the Anping Cui clan. Bingzhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Yongzhou, and Luzhou (Lujiang and Jiujiang counties in the north of Yangzhou Jiangbei) are all dilapidated, and scholars move to other places, similar to the blank cities in the game, regardless of them for the time being. The remaining Qing, Deng, Hai (formerly northern Xuzhou), and Xu Sizhou can be fought for by Xun.

It is the prominent surname of Beihai State-run Ling County, and now Yingling is from Yi for the Qingzhou Assassin History, Wang Xiu for the Dengzhou Assassin History, and the Xun can use them to recruit local scholars and form a major force. It is said that Lao Qingzhou was under the rule of Yuan Tan before, and he was newly attached to Cao, and there were many scholars who had not yet come out, and if he could pull them, he would easily be regarded as a leader.

There is also the original Xuzhou, and now the two states of Hai and Xu, the Lang evil Zhuge clan can be pulled under his command, and the Wang family in the same county also has an in-law relationship with his own family - the fourth child of the family is Wentong, and he is the wife of Miss Wang. According to the original history, Wang Dun and Wang Dao will appear after a few decades, and after moving south, they will become one of the four great families in Jiangdong (Wang Xie Yu Shen). If he can catch this Wang family, he will never be worse than the Sima family in Hanoi.

There is also Guangling Chen, who is also his own in-law, Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong is now Guangling Taishou, and his father Chen Qi also has great influence in the state. This is also bound to be involved in the thief ship.

In fact, Xun Ben has no intention of attracting friends to support the party and fighting for power and profit, and just wants to assist the Cao family well, so that the world will be unified and return to peace. But Cao Cao is a suspicious lord, and his own power is too great, which will certainly make him dislike, and if he has no power, he is easy to lose in the slander of others. Isn't the recent resignation from Shuozhou a good example? Yes Xun doesn't want to die before his ambition is rewarded...... Even if you retire first, it's not cost-effective.

Besides, sooner or later, the Xun clan would become a stumbling block for Cao Cao to reach his final glory. Whether Cao Cao eventually usurped the throne, or gave the opportunity to the heir as he did in the original history, Shi Xun didn't care, but he knew that if the shape really reached that point, then wanting to destroy the Cao clan and usurping the Han would be equivalent to destroying the unity of the entire Cao clan at the same time, and it was likely to cause a terrible chain reaction like a snowball. At that time, if the Xun clan blocked the way, Shi Xun must assist Cao Cao to eradicate it. I don't want that day to come, but I have to be prepared.

Thinking about it further, after the world is settled, or just after the Central Plains is settled, the wealthy family will definitely try to make a comeback with the efforts of Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others - this is a matter for the ass to decide the head, even if Xun values Sima Zhongda and how harmonious the two are, if it is successful, it will not be able to stop Zhongda from doing that. At that time, Shi Xun will lead Wu Zhen and a group of scattered Shu clans who may have just grown up to fight with them? It's a bit too difficult. The best way is to promote the family to fight the family, the center of the flowering, and fight a lose-lose situation, so that he can profit from it.

Therefore, for the sake of the peace of one's own family and the realization of the ideal, the hearts of the scholars in the four states of Qing, Deng, Hai, and Xu, and even the hearts of the world, must be firmly grasped.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and finally it was Xun who gave Wang Xiu a deep bow very sincerely: "The elder has a life, how dare he disobey?" ”

Wang Xiu twisted his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

On the way back to Zheng Xuan's coffin, the imperial court's edict allowing everyone to resign also caught up, Cui Yan and Liu Yan were quite happy, but Xi Xuan couldn't help but look sad and sad. One evening, Xi Xi specially came to talk to Shi Xun, and euphemistically expressed his unwillingness to leave the imperial court for three years, hoping that Shi Xun could pass the word to Cao Cao. It was Xun who perfunctorily said: "Cao Gong loves talents, he must be worried, and brother should not worry." ”

When Zheng Xuan is buried, it is Xun who is ingenious, and he discussed with his brothers and sisters, let's make an epitaph for the teacher and engrave it on the tablet, so that future generations can hang it.

The tombstone system is said to have begun in the Zhou Dynasty, but generally only the official position and name are written, not the life, that is to say, there is no common epitaph in later generations. Until the Han Dynasty, epitaphs were carved and buried directly in the tomb, not placed outside for the sacrificers to see. Shi Xun said that the teacher's knowledge and achievements are enough to set an example for the ages, and the epitaph should be set up outside, so that the scholars passing by can admire his demeanor.

Although it was a new trick to play, the disciples of Zhengmen, who were bent on raising the value of their teacher, immediately raised their hands in approval. Ren Yi said: "Not only is it a brother's strategy, but it also has to rely on a large pen." "It was Xun who waved his hand again and again, saying that I had been with the teacher for too short a time, and that the teacher knew very little about his actions in his early years, so I couldn't write this article. Then he looked at Xi worriedly: "Brother Xi is willing to do it?" ”

Writing an inscription to the teacher, this is a glorious thing, Xi Wei thinks that Xun is showing favor to himself, and at the same time hopes to use this to confirm the status of the heir of his Zheng family, so he hurriedly agreed-the second "Yan" is not easy to rob him openly. So Xi Hongyu closed the door and pondered for three days, and wrote a colorful article of the four and six, which was written by Cui Yan, who had the best calligraphy among the people, and immediately recruited craftsmen to carve stones. It is Xun and Jianyi, and all the names of the people who came to the teacher's funeral are listed behind, the disciples of Zhengmen are in the front, and then passed on in the second, and finally it is not very important, and none of them will be left behind.

The epitaph was carved, the tombstone was erected, and everyone was very happy - only Xi was worried and disliked, because for a few days of writing and carving the stele, the second "Yan" led the disciples of all the sects, and did not discuss with him, and had set up more than a dozen grass huts in front of the grave, ready to mourn. Xi Hongyu didn't like to flick his sleeves, saying that the funeral was over, and I would leave, so I had to follow them with a bitter face.

Fortunately, at this time, a new edict from the imperial court arrived. The edict was announced by Jia Xu, who directly took the order of the Son of Heaven to recruit Xu Ci, Ren Yi and others to return to Beijing, re-teach Taixue, and ordered the students to go back to class before the summer. In the edict, according to what Shixun said that day, he severely reprimanded the people, saying that they were not only disloyal if they ignored state affairs, but also violated the way of respecting teachers and the filial piety of taking teachers as fathers.

Shi Xun and others bowed to the edict, listening to the colorful prose, Shi Xun couldn't help but chant in his heart: "Loyalty is not different from filial piety, filial piety is not different from loyalty, loyalty is filial piety, filial piety is loyalty, and it is the same when you want to do it......"

Listening to the style of this line of articles, it is probably from Wang Zhongxuan's hand.

At the same time, he also recruited Shixun as the governor of Sikong Prefecture, Xi Wei as a servant, and the rest of the resigned people were all recruited - only the two "Yan" and their henchmen were not included in the recruitment. This time, it was Cui Yan's turn and Liu Yan's faces were like ashes...... (To be continued......)
