Ying Shaozi Zhongyu was also a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, but his specialty was not in scripture, but mainly in law and etiquette. He once wrote books such as "Han Official Etiquette", "Law Strategy", "Preface to the Chinese Han Dynasty", and also wrote the naturalist "Customs and Customs" - Ying Jue Ying Delian of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" is Ying Shao's nephew, and Xun Xin said Why did I only talk about Ying Ling, but I forgot Ying Shao? !

In the original history, when Ying Shao served as Taishan Taishou, he was ordered by Cao Cao to welcome Cao Song and Cao De, and then no matter how those two died, either Ying Shao Yingfeng was not timely, or it was something that happened in his jurisdiction (although it had been occupied by Zang Ba and other Xuzhou troops), in short, he could not escape responsibility, so in a panic, he went north to Yuan Shao, and later died in Yecheng. But in this timeline, because it was Xun who protected the Cao family and his son, Ying Shao still honestly continued to be his Taishan Taishou. Even if Lü Bu was in chaos, because the location of Taishan County was too eastward, so it was not affected much, and afterwards Cao Cao only blamed Ying Shao for sitting and watching the success or failure, and did not remove him from his post.

It was Xun who left this Mr. Ying Zhongyu behind - he went to Qingzhou through Mount Tai this time, and he didn't enter the county to govern Fenggao at all, so he didn't think about it - until Zheng Xuan proposed the name of this person this time, it was Xun who hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "You can't make the legacy listed in the court, and the son of heaven will be assisted, and Xun will be wrong!" ”

said that Ying Shao was a "relict sage", but in fact, this is not very accurate, because he is a good man with 2,000 stones, so he is not considered in the wilderness. However, Ying Shao is not young, and he has no talent in military affairs, so he has always placed him in Taishan County, which is close to Qingzhou, and faced Yuan Tan's strength. It's really not a good choice. Rather, it should be in the original history. He once formulated "Han Yi" and "Han Palace Etiquette Stories" in Yecheng. It can be said that Emperor Xian played a certain role in the new construction and institutionalization of the small court of Xuchang - that is his real strength. Therefore, it can be said that it is very useless to put Ying Shao in Mount Tai as a guard, and if he is introduced into the court, it will be called useful.

Yeshoon apologized to Jung Hyun for this. Zheng Xuan smiled slightly: "The gentlemen in the capital, they can't see this, and it's not Hongfu's fault." Yesun hurriedly took the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "Yes Xuncai hurriedly welcomed Mr. Xu." Mr. Wei has this insight too. ”

So a few days later, the group entered Fenggao City, Ying Shao went out of the city to greet him, and talked with Zheng Xuan very happily. Zheng Xuan promised that when I arrived in Xudu, I would recommend you to enter the court, and the court should have a etiquette system, so I would ask you to bother more. As for the achievements of Shi Xun, he sent a set of manuscripts of "Customs and Customs", which mainly examined the system, customs and rumors of famous objects in the past dynasties, mixed with many myths and legends. It's much more interesting than the scriptures.

It's a pity that I have to listen to Zheng Xuan's lecture every night before going to bed. I don't have time to read this kind of "idle book"......

After a few days to Juancheng, Cao De went out of the city to greet him, and Zheng Xuan rested for three days. Shi Xun took the opportunity to go to his own village, picked up Guan Hai's father and daughter and the little baby Shifu, and followed him south—as for the village, it was handed over to a doorman recommended by Ling Ning, a single father, to take care of it.

Shixun's business trip was quite long, and it took more than two months to go back and forth, and he only returned to Xudu in early April. The night before entering the city, Wu Zhen rushed to greet him and told Shi Xun: "The villain has already done everything you have explained." ”

After Shi Xun made up his mind to take the concubine and child back to Xudu, he wrote a letter to Wu Zhen, and Wu Zhen bought a village and land in the suburbs of Xuchang as the residence of Guan's father, daughter, and grandson. As far as Xun himself is concerned, of course, he hopes that his wife and children can get together, but he has never had the opportunity to bridge the contradiction between Cao Miao and Guan Si, and now Cao Miao is pregnant, and the pregnant woman is the most emotionally unstable and easily stimulated, so it's better to divide it first, and then figure out a way.

The next day, he came to the outside of Xuchang City, Cao Cao and other three dukes personally greeted Zheng Xuan, and then Zheng Xuan went to the palace to meet Liu Xie, the son of heaven. Liu Xie was overjoyed, and the next day he summoned Shixun to praise his merits - he just boasted, saying reward, he had no money in hand, and said that he was promoted, he didn't have the power.

According to Zheng Xuanhe is Xun's recital, he was called to Shao into the dynasty as Taichang, and Liu Yan was reappointed as Taishan Taishou. Cao Cao pardoned Xu Xi's sin and appointed him as the Taishou of Shanyang - it was Xun Xin who said that among the people I recommended to Cao Cao, this one is probably the most useless, which can be regarded as an addition.

As for the hundreds of disciples brought by Zheng Xuan, the imperial court issued an edict appointing Xi Xi as the servant, Liu Yan as the Zhonglang, Xu Ci, Wang Jing, Ren Yi and other twelve people as doctors of the Five Classics, and the rest of the thirty percent entered Taixue to study, and seventy percent were recruited by the various prefectures as officials. At the beginning of the establishment of the Xuchang Imperial Court, the shortage of officials was very serious, even if the Yan and Yushi people came to vote, they could not fill this huge bureaucratic system, and now the disciples of Zhengmen came, but they added many civil servant positions.

Cao Cao praised Shixun for this: "Hongfu and his party made the court full, and the sages were gathered, and the achievements were great." ”

But Shi Xun didn't expect that not long after, Zheng Xuan bumped into Cao Cao in front of him in the court.

Originated from Cao Cao's quiet and anxious thoughts, and Shangjiao wanted to conquer Huainan again and solve the problem of Yuan Shu in one fell swoop. Zheng Xuan asked: "What is Yuan Highway's crime, and the public wants to cut it down?" Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that I didn't fight with Yuan Shu once or twice, the big guys were all fighting for territory and people, and they really didn't convict him properly. Of course, this could not be said publicly, so he had to rack his brains to think, and finally said: "After the fourth and third dukes of Yuan Shu, without thinking of loyalty and service, he invaded Liu Biao in Jingzhou in Nanyang, and then moved to Huainan, so that Sun Ce attacked Liu Miao in Yangzhou, isn't it a crime?" ”

Zheng Xuan shook his head: "The past of Nanyang, in the past, he did not declare his guilt, and today there is nothing to say." The matter of Huainan, the public has given Sun Ce, and An can re-offend Yuan Shu? "If Sun Ce is not guilty, how can Yuan Shu be considered guilty?

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but sink his face, glanced at Xun who was quite at the back of the ranking, and said in his heart This is the banner you found for me to win over the corporal of the world? The flag was erected, but he wouldn't go with me. Shi Xun had no choice but to stand up and help Cao Cao speak: "Since the Son of Heaven has moved the capital, it is not far away, and Yuan Shu does not lose taxes and does not pay tribute, which is his crime." "If you don't pay tribute, you don't respect the Son of Heaven, and if you don't respect the Son of Heaven, you should naturally conquer it.

Zheng Xuan raised the wat board and faced Liu Xie: "Please ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to question Yuan Shu and levy him into the court. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, it turned out that you were not against beating Yuan Shu, your old gentleman wanted to maintain the authority of the imperial court, and first finalized Yuan Shu's guilt before beating him - although he was a bit rigid, he was too obsessed with procedural justice, so he didn't deliberately dismantle my platform. Thinking of this, his face turned slightly pale: "I don't expect Yuan Shu to be ......" joking, let Yuan Shu put down the army and come to Xudu alone? He won't do it if he kills anyone—"But you can prepare food and materials first, and after you declare your guilt, you can cut them down." ”

Who would have thought that Zheng Xuan would have something to say: "The Son of Heaven has moved the capital to Xu, the city wall has just been completed, the palace has been built roughly, and Taixue has not yet been completed. "Cao Cao Xin said that you are in charge of the country's finances, how much food you have, and whether it is enough to fight a war, don't you know? - "A month ago, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Zhang Yang in Hanoi, and Zhang Xiu in Nanyang all had grain delivered to the royal family, so couldn't it be used?" ”

Zheng Xuan retorted: "The ancients did not levy in spring and summer, so that farmers could also do it. Although there is grain in the imperial court today, Huainan has none, and wherever it goes, the fields are barren and the people are displaced. Although Huainan was ruled by Yuan Shu, wasn't it the people of the Han Dynasty? What is the benefit of the country and the people? ”

It was Xunxin who said that your old gentleman is a bit excessive, speaking of war, although I am also two knives, but I am a little more familiar than you, and immediately replied: "The court has grain but Huainan has no grain. If there is also food in Huainan, there is no chance of victory, and the enemy has a stubborn heart to resist, and if it is delayed for a long time, there will be many deaths. In addition, Yuan Shu was rampant in Huainan, and the people were poor, even if there was food, it was owned by Shu, not by the people. Take Huainan and cultivate and weave early, benefit the country, remove tyranny and take the royal road, and the people as virtue. ”

Zheng Xuan smiled: "It is the Shaofu that can see this, and it is not worthy of being a king." He turned his head and played Liu Xie again: "The minister, please store the grain and straw in the treasury, half of the army will be lost, and half will be kept temporarily, so as to help the people of Huainan after the war." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao and Shixun all breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that your old gentleman was beating around the bush, and it turned out to be this proposition - say it earlier! In fact, Zheng Xuan was not against war, his ideal was to revive the Han dynasty and restore unification, and he was not a fool of studying, nor would he think that he could achieve this grand goal by virtue alone and not by war. He wants to remind Cao Cao that if you are now acting in the service of the Son of Heaven, you must launch a "righteous war", first, you must grasp the name of righteousness, and second, you must consider the people more - those ordinary people who may be affected and hurt in the unification war are all people of the Han Dynasty!

After retiring from the court, Shi Xun asked Zheng Xuan, saying that if you have any ideas, just mention it, why do you have to go-for-tat with Cao Sikong and almost have a misunderstanding? Zheng Xuan shook his head lightly: "If Gong Cao is public and selfless, he will not misunderstand the old man; If there is any personal evil, the old man will use this as a warning. "It's Xun Xin who said that between public and private, where can there be such a clear distinction? Pure loyalists never end well—perhaps Wang Xiu is an exception. But he knew that he couldn't persuade the old man, so he had to bow in a fake manner: "Mr. has taught the lesson, and the disciple is taught." ”

turned around and went to Cao Cao again, and conveyed what Zheng Xuan said to him. Cao Cao pondered for a long time before he sighed: "Zheng Kang has become a true man who has become a countryman." "It's Xun Xin who said that you are definitely not telling the truth...... Or not exactly the truth. But don't worry, if my memory is not wrong, Zheng Xuan won't live for a few years, and if you want to find this kind of restrained Taoist in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it...... Well, maybe Xun Yu will take over Zheng Xuan's class in the future.

Of course, Zheng Xuan wouldn't have braided his hair, but Shi Xun didn't expect - and he didn't remember it clearly - the imperial court's edict went down to Mount Tai, but Ying Shao couldn't answer the call due to illness, and then it didn't take two months to hang up. Before his death, Ying Shao presented "Han Yi" and "Han Palace Etiquette Stories" to the imperial court, which is the same as the original history.
