Shixun toured the territory of Haizhou for more than a month, and successively gave lectures in Langxi and Donghai, and thus selected a large number of talents and recommended them to the imperial court. In order to win over the Wang family and other big clans, he deliberately lowered his standards and gave a few more places, and his cousin-in-law Wang Xiong was also among them - but this is already considered to be taking care of the poor family, if it is really inspected by the magistrate, or another person, such as Chen Qun, who comes to inspect, basically a single family will not be on the list.

The people of Haizhou recommended a total of forty-seven people, and fifty percent of them went to various prefectures to serve as small officials, two became langs, and the rest went to Taixue to study. It is estimated that when these people arrive in Xudu, Mao Jue will review and assess them again, and may also brush off a few people, and the specific arrangements, in addition to going to school, will also be adjusted. However, Shixun has confidence in his own vision and his own power, and believes that Mao Xiaoxian will not go too far.

In the original history, after Cao Cao became prime minister, the election of Mao Jue and Cui Yan in the palace was called "all the people who are upright and upright, although they are famous at the time and do not do it, they will not be able to enter." In other words, this guy attaches a bit too much importance to moral integrity, which is not completely in line with Cao Cao's policy of "meritocracy", but at the same time, because his background is not very high, he does not pay attention to the selection of talents - this is different from Cui Yan. The so-called "sometimes famous but not by their own people" refers to those celebrities who are from big families and rely on mutual praise and public opinion between families to raise up, in fact, they have no ability, and may even be morally corrupt.

There are many prime ministers in the prime minister's mansion, whether it is in terms of proximity, distance or prestige, they all take Shixun as their leader. He was supposed to be in the center. Sending someone out to run a job. However, it was Xun Jian yì Cao Cao restored this position. And Mao recommended himself, the purpose is to take the opportunity to win over the world, especially the Kanto scholars, so of course he must go to Beijing. He took the initiative to recommend Mao Jue to stay, firstly, because Mao Jie was upright and upright, and secondly, because Mao Jue was not a child of the world, if he was really put in the place, Mao Jue might not be able to recruit many poor scholars to come up, but he would be selected by the central government to recommend his own family. Basically, there will be no return tickets.

However, even so, Shi Xun deliberately and secretly summoned the more than ten Hanmen scholars selected by himself, and first asked them straight to the point: "Although Qing and the others are knowledgeable, they have a bad reputation in the state, why not?" One of them snorted and said, "There is a folk proverb, I don't know if you can hear it?" ”

Shi Xun asked what the proverb was, and the scholar recited it: "Raise Mao Cai, but do not know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father lives separately; Gao Di is virtuous and evil. ”

It was Xun Xin who said, I knew you were going to say this ballad. The meaning of this rumor is to say that no one has been able to do it before. was controlled by the family to forge ahead, but those children of the family were often poorly capable. Bad moral character - those who are shown (Mao) talent are not familiar with the scriptures at all; He who was exalted as filial piety was divided with his father; The so-called virtuous and righteous people have a higher rank, but they are as greedy as a toad.

This rumor later spread as: "Show talent, don't know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father lives separately; Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. However, Xiucai was changed to "Maocai" in the Han Dynasty to avoid the light of Emperor Wu, and the "good general" department began in Cao Wei, and the "Hansu" department began in the Jin Dynasty, which was not the name of the Han Dynasty, so it should be the language of the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, Xun had heard of this ballad, and then he listened to the Nashi people: "The family has no talent, but it is powerful, and it can boast; If you are talented from a poor family, you will be jealous and even polluted. Or the greedy people such as Yun and I, who have no land at home, how can they be greedy? Or those who are not friends, relatives see each other, and they want to be friends but can't do it. Or Yun I and other unfilial people, parents are poor and die, how to fulfill filial piety? ”

When the scholars next to him heard this, they all nodded sadly, only Shi Xun smiled secretly in his heart. He said in his heart that you are blowing so much, as if all the clans are selling their fame and reputation, and all the poor families are innocent. Even if you are poor, you are also a landlord class, there is no land at home, and there is still no shortage of dozens of acres of land, otherwise you will not have the money to study, not to mention that you have to live like Yan Hui - even if Yan Hui, although he is poor, his family may not be really poor.

However, he didn't want to expose the other party, so he just nodded his head very understandingly, and then took care of everyone: "Slander in the countryside, I won't play, but you must know that Mao Sizhi in the house attaches the most importance to morality, advocating frugality, and going to the capital, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can't touch your anger." "Mao Jue is a person who pays attention to personal cultivation and is frugal and square, you still have to have a hand under him, but don't drop the chain, even if you pretend to be a decent gentleman for me.

Everyone was grateful, and they retreated.

During this period, Shi Xun also took Zhuge Liang to worship in front of Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan's tombs, and met Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jun by the way. Zhuge Jin was very relieved to learn that Shixun had accepted his second brother as a disciple, and Zhuge Jun immediately bowed to the ground and asked for acceptance. However, Shi Xun is not interested in this kid - the three brothers of the Zhuge family, the eldest became a general in Eastern Wu, and the second became a prime minister in Shu Han. "The World Says New Words" Yun Zhuge brothers "Shu has its dragon, Wu has its tiger, and Wei has its dog", and the dog actually refers to the younger brother Zhuge birthday, not as good as Zhuge Jun, which shows that he has no ability.

Of course, in front of the two brothers, it was not easy to refuse directly, so he smiled slightly: "Gongqi, please get up." Qing Xiang's heart of learning, I know it, but if you go with me, your brother will be lonely. And accompany the ancestors in front of the grave, and come to look for me after the mourning is full. "Zhuge Junxin said that I just want to escape this boring mourning day...... But there was no way, so I had to get up.

It was Xun Qian's advice, Wan instructed, that as soon as Zhuge Jin's mourning period expired, he would come to Xu Du to find himself, and then he took Zhuge Liang and floated away under the eyes of Jin and Jun brothers.

After leaving Haizhou, Shixun did not return to the capital, but went south to Xuzhou.

When the history of Xuzhou thorn was Haozhou, the party was different, and the state was set in Huaiyin County, Linhuai County. It was Xun who met Hao Zhou in Huaiyin first, and the two had no friendship, just ordinary business dealings. Immediately after that, Xun gave lectures in Huaiyin County, recruited talents, and left Huaiyin at the end of summer and arrived in Guangling.

Under normal circumstances, wherever the prime minister goes, the governors of various states, county guards, and county magistrates will personally lead their bureaucrats to the gate of the city to greet them - it is Xun who is too lazy to engage in a private visit to the micro-service, anyway, his main intention is in the election. and not watching. The purpose is to win the hearts of local scholars. It would be counterproductive to offend people everywhere. However, this time, Chen Deng, who was a friend of Guangling Taishou and his brother-in-law and Mo Zhi, did not appear, and the leader greeted him with honor, a tall and thin, good-looking official-

"Guangling Gong Cao Chen Jiao, welcome Si Zhi - the prince of the mansion is sick, don't come to greet him, please forgive."

Shi Xun jumped out of the car and bowed his hand to Chen Jiao: "Ji Bi doesn't have to be polite." Where is the county guard? Quickly lead a certain person to meet. ”

What kind of friendship Chen Deng has with him? If you are too sick to get up, even if you are supported by someone, you will definitely come to greet you.

Chen Jiao said in his heart, I am such a small official, it is the first time I have met, it is Si Zhi who actually called out the words in one mouth, it seems that before the inspection, he did his homework quite well. Fortunately, I Guangling is honest and diligent, and I will not be picked out by him.

It is Xun who knows Chen Jiao's words, which is a matter of course, and this person will also be a famous minister of Cao Wei in the future. has always been Shangshuling and Situ, and the history books have been passed down. He had read through "Three Kingdoms" several times in his previous life, how could he forget it?

At the moment, he followed Chen Jiao and the others into the city and went to the county office. When he arrived at the door of the backyard, Chen Jiao stopped moving, and it was Xun who also left Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai and others behind, and entered by himself. Sure enough, I saw a woman with a small child in the courtyard to greet her.

Shi Xun looked at this woman, and he could vaguely see the appearance of the once stunning female son in the Yingling Mansion in the former Yingling Mansion, but unfortunately, she was too old...... Could it be that Chen Yuanlong treats you harshly? Or is the water and soil here in Guangling not good? My daughters-in-law haven't changed that much.

Mrs. Shi saluted and said, "I've seen the seventh brother." Then he beckoned to the children around him and kowtowed: "Come and meet Uncle Seven." It was Xun who returned the salute first, and then reached out and picked up the child who was kowtowing next to him—hey, it's quite heavy—"Is this Su'er?" ”

Shi married Chen Deng and gave birth to a son, named Chen Su. It is Xun Guanshu who only looks at the general outline, and often ignores many details - in the original history, although Chen Deng did not marry the daughter of the clan, the son born to him was also named Chen Su, and he had no ability, and he had to wait for Cao Pi to be the emperor, and then he would posthumously record his father's previous achievements, and Ren was Langzhong - the extraordinary IQ that began with Chen Qi was used up here.

Shi Xun hugged Chen Su and asked Shi Shi about Chen Deng's situation. Shi Shi sighed: "It's still an old disease, chest tightness and weakness, and the face is red and dry. So he led Shixun into the inner room, and Chen Yuanlong had already gotten up on the couch, leaning on the pillow and panting.

Shi Xun put down Chen Su, sat on the couch, and took Chen Deng's hand to ask about his condition. I saw that Chen Deng's whole person was a lot thinner than when they met last time, but his face was red, and his spirit seemed to be very excited. He smiled and said to Shi Xun: "The old disease, I have taken medicine, and I can get rid of it in three days." Failure to meet Hongsuke from afar, don't be guilty. ”

Shi Xun pointed at Chen Deng and asked Shi Shi, saying that this guy is still eating yusheng desperately? Yes, he said that I am in charge, and now I eat very little, and as you said, with perilla, with hot wine...... Chen Deng hurriedly interjected: "Hongfu's recipe is very good, the fish is wrapped in perilla, and its taste is indescribable." ”

Yes Xun was a little crying and laughing, saying that when I let you eat yusheng, it is with perilla, it is to kill insects and poison, not to make you satisfied. The two chatted casually a few more words, and Chen Deng instructed Shishi to lead his son out, hurry up to prepare wine and food, and entertain Shixun. When his wife went out, he suddenly sank his face and asked Shixun: "I heard that someone in the capital said that Cao Gong wanted me not to stay elsewhere, is there really such a thing?" ”

Shi Xun nodded, and said that there is indeed this kind of discussion, they all think that you have been in Guangling for a long time, the soldiers and horses are strong, and I am afraid that there will be a big tail, and now that Sun Ce is dead, Jiangdong is not worried, so you must be transferred elsewhere. Chen Deng sneered: "These are all ignorant words! Although Sun Ce died, Sun Quan led the crowd today, supplemented by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, to win the heart of Sergeant Wu, fearing that it would be a disaster for the country in the future, and he was not under Sun Ce. ”

It was Xun who said that I understood this, so I also spoke in front of Cao Gong, saying that Guangling can't do without you. It's just that you also need to limit your diet and pay attention to your body, if you are often like this, who can rest assured that you will be put in the lower reaches of the river to guard it? After reminding Chen Deng, he suddenly changed the topic and asked about the situation in Jiangdong-

"Xun is on the way, but I heard that the imperial court is divided into states and Yang, I don't know what happened?" Chen Deng shook his head lightly: "Sun Ben, Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu have all resigned and ...... appointments" People don't care about the title at all, they are still firmly united around Sun Zhongmou, even if Sun Quan is hanging the title of Marquis of Wu County, his serious official position is still just a small Yangxian County magistrate, it doesn't matter.

Yes Xun said I had expected it, it seems that if you want to pacify Jiangdong, you have to rely on you, Taishi Ziyi and Lu Zijing, as long as you train the land and water army, you can break it by force - if you want to engage in a small conspiracy to divide and disintegrate, I'm afraid it won't work. chatting and chatting, and then came back to talk about Chen Deng's condition, Shi Xun asked, what kind of medicine did you take, does it work?

Chen Deng said: "The day before yesterday, Hua Yuanhua passed through Guangling, and he personally wrote the prescription, but Yun can be cured for a while, and it cannot be cur......ed" Shi Xun suddenly stood up when he heard this: "What, Hua Tuo saw him in Guangling?!" (To be continued......)
