Chapter 2: The Pair of Longzhong
At this time, it was Xun who was in Linyi County, Lang Evil Country, and was entertained by the Wang family. The ancestor of the Wang family is Wang Ji, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and it has been passed down to this day, and the patriarch is Wang Rong, who is in his prime. Wang Rong has a son named Wang Xiang, that is, the eldest filial son who later "lies on the ice and begs for carp" - but at this time Wang Xiang was only a child, and his half-brother Wang Lan was not yet born. In the original history, Xuzhou was in turmoil, Wang Xiang supported his stepmother Zhu and younger brother Wang Lan to take refuge in Lujiang, until his parents were all hung up before returning to Linyi, and then lived in seclusion for decades, and only came out after the Cao family usurped the Han Dynasty. However, in this timeline, because of Xun's efforts, Xuzhou did not experience Tao Cao, Liu Lu, and the subsequent Cao Lu War, Jinghua was retained, and the Wang family did not fall apart.
Although there is no prestige of the "Lang Evil Wang Clan" in the future, the Wang family is now an incomparable family in Linyi County, even in the Lang Evil Country and Haizhou, they are all ranked. It is the family and the Wang family who have in-laws, and it is the Xun clan brother who married Wang Rong's niece as his wife, which is not only the in-laws, but also the important ministers of the court.
This is the first stop of Xun's inspection of Haizhou, and he plans to stay in Linyi for a few days, and then go to Langxiguo to govern Kaiyang, and finally go south to govern Tan County. The first Haizhou assassin was Cao Cao's henchman Lu Qian Lu Zike, and he was also quite familiar with Shixun - as for the Tao brothers, they had already been called into Xu Du to hang idle posts and eat idle meals, and Zang Xuangao wore the title of General Zhendong, and the troops were stationed in Dongguan, Haibei, and Juxian, and he only had a one-sided relationship with him, and he was too lazy to meet.
Three generations of the Wang family lived, with nearly 100 men, young and old. Under the leadership of Wang Rong. They all came to meet Shixun. It is a meritorious position. Naturally, there is no need to be polite to these villagers, so they just smile at Wang Rong and Wang Xiong, the brother of the fourth sister-in-law. He told Wang Rong that he came to Haizhou on the orders of the imperial court, first, to supervise the local area and verify the accounts, and secondly, to collect talents and select and recommend them - I don't know if the Wang family is willing to be a member of the imperial court?
Wang Rong bowed and said yes, yes. My Wang family has been a eunuch for generations, teaching children with scriptures, and the family is full of talents, if it weren't for the ancestors' will, how could there be ten or eight officials with more than 100 stones at this time.
This old ancestor refers to Wang Ji, who was the lieutenant of the king of Changyi, and Lang Zhongling Gong Sui gave advice to the king, but unfortunately the other party just didn't listen. The fate of Liu He, the king of Changyi, is a person who knows that one foot has entered Weiyang Palace. In a blink of an eye, he was driven out by Huo Guang, and all his subordinates were executed. Although Wang Ji and Gong Sui were punished by one degree, they were also punished as Chengdan. Therefore, Wang Ji left his last words, and his descendants were not allowed to be officials of the kingdom.
But the royal family lived in Langxie, and in the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu sealed his son Liu Jing as the evil king of Lang. Originally, the best way for local scholars to go out was to be recruited by the state and county as officials, and then climb up step by step, but there were not many backers in the state, and the country could not be outstanding, plus the world was in turmoil before, and the court did not have time to directly recruit Lang Xie, so it made a huge family, and it was only famous, and no one was an official.
Now as soon as he heard that his in-laws were Si Zhi and had the mission of recommending local talents, Wang Rong was overjoyed and stammered, not only with good wine and good food, but also planned to offer the clan daughter and be the concubine of Shixun. It's Xunxin who said that the three of my family can't be handled, and your Wang daughter is not a natural beauty, so if you want to increase your troubles, forget it. However, in order to show that his own family is incorruptible, he didn't ask for Wang's people, nor did he ask for Wang's money, but the more than a dozen old books offered by Wang's family were all collected according to the order - as for those baskets are made of refined copper and locked with silver, then I can't leave a book but return it, it is stupid to buy a pearl and return it, and it is not necessarily smart to return the pearl.
Shi Xun intends to win over the Wang family, and then use the Guò Wang family to entrap the scholars in the Langxi country, but he does not intend to take all the children of the Wang family away directly - we must pay attention to ways and means to do things, as a great Confucian, we can't let others find faults. Besides, Mao Xiao is in charge of the central government, and if he is not one of them, it will be too embarrassing for him to vote back.
Therefore, it was Xun who built yì, so that Wang Rong summoned scholars who thought they were good at learning and wanted to be good in the country to listen to their own lectures, that is, in the process of preaching, identifying and selecting talents. In this way, I will not only recommend the Lord to him, but also his teacher, and it will not be difficult to win his heart.
Lang evil is a big country, under the jurisdiction of twelve counties, the scholars from all over the country got the news to come, it was not an overnight achievement, it was Xun just took the opportunity to rest in the Wang's house, eating and drinking for a few days. It was also at this time that he got the news that the imperial court wanted to divide Jingxiang and worship Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuanzhou.
Shi Xun couldn't help but exclaimed: "If Liu Bei gets a state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control it!" ”
At this time, he was living in the inner room, and there were only Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai beside him. Before the big class to give a lecture, it was Xun who practiced with these two young people, and the main content of the lecture was - "Etiquette is also due to the time, and it is not the same as the time." ”
Confucianism has influenced China for nearly 2,000 years, and one of its major shortcomings is that it is conservative and does not know how to adapt. Although in fact, Confucianism is always changing, Tang Confucianism is different from Han Confucianism, Song Confucianism is different from Tang Confucianism, modern literature is different from ancient literature, and science is different from psychology, but except for a few great Confucians who opened a new era, the vast majority of scholars, especially the later they go, the more they cling to the defects and rigid their minds. Fortunately, the problem of Han Confucianism is not strict, so Shixun wanted to use this as a breakthrough to teach scholars to know how to be flexible and adapt to the time and place.
He said to Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai: "Zi said: 'Zhou is in the second generation, depressed and depressed, I follow Zhou. 'Why?' For him, that is, Zhou Shiye, Zhou rites apply. If you are in Yin, but you don't know the week, then the son will follow Yin. Everyone in the world thinks that Qin Zheng is harsh and tyrannical, and not as good as Confucianism, but I also used Qin Zheng at the beginning, and my uncle and grandson were used as gifts, so I had to be Han Zheng. And at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Huang Laoye, Emperor Xiaowu began to respect Confucianism, and Emperor Xiaoxuan Shangyun: 'The Han family has its own system, and the overlord is also miscellaneous. 'It is to know that propriety is not determined by heaven, it is determined by man, it is not eternal, it is due to the time. The power to change is a true Confucian, and the rubber pillar is a pseudo-Confucian. ”
Zhuge Liang is a person who knows how to be flexible, and later generations say that he is a Legalist, but in fact, Legalism is a variant of Confucianism, governing the world and educating with etiquette and law, and bringing him to justice in troubled times, so Zhuge Liang after entering Shu, corresponding to the current situation of Liu Zhang's weakness and the abolition of Shu government, he was strict with the law and discipline. It was even misjudged as "the criminal law is urgent." to carve off the people". Hence these words. Zhuge Liang listened to it; Guo Huai is different, this kid is all about fighting, and his interest in politics is somewhat lacking, let alone scriptures.
Just as I was happy, Dong Zhao had a letter delivered. Since the last time Shi Xun pointed out Dong Zhao on the issue of reinstating the prime minister's system, Dong Gongren Duomin, hurry up to reply to the letter, in order to affirm the sincerity of his intentions. And hinted that I was too busy to ignore the situation you were in, and I really didn't want to watch the fire from the other side. When Shixun returned from Gaomi, Dong Zhao came to worship many times, and the two formed an offensive and defensive alliance. It was Xun's departure from the capital, and the major events in the DPRK and China were reported by Dong Zhao's letter.
Shixun was depressed when he read the letter, and the good mood just now disappeared in an instant. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask him beside him: "Liu Bei is just a corner of the place, why is Mr. worried?" ”
Shi Xun shook his head and said that I had been in contact with Liu Bei. This person is not a thing in the pool, if the time comes. It will turn into Peng and soar for nine days - "Prepare for the world's heroes, but unfortunately it is bumpy, and it does not get its name." If it is named, it will be difficult for the scholars to return. Now it is the history of Yuanzhou Thorn, although it is a false name, it is enough to cheer up. ”
Originally, Liu Bei in history was beaten by Lu Bu and Cao Cao successively, but as soon as he gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, he immediately came to Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Yi, and Ma Liang, why is this? Because of his fame and high status, he was once the pastor of a state and the general of Zuo, and for the local scholars, it was a high-ranking official and eunuch worth looking up to. Although General Zuo, who has no land and few soldiers, may not be as good as the landlord Wang's family, but the scholars of these years have eaten this set, soldiers can be requisitioned, land can be played, and the position is really not something that can be obtained by thinking about it.
On this timeline, Liu Bei had achieved a maximum of 2,000 stone before, first in Pingyuan Xiang, and then in Nanyang Taishou, but they were all expressed by local warlords themselves, and there was no official edict from the imperial court. This time, the imperial court gave him an official edict, and also recognized him as the assassin of a state.
Zhuge Liang had never seen Liu Bei, and he didn't know that in another timeline, he would be so desperate for the big-eared thief who was wandering around, but he trusted what Xun said, so he hurriedly said: "Sir has some concerns, why don't you play the court, please go to bed?" ”
Shi Xun sighed and said that it was useless - it is estimated that when his performance reached Xu Du, Liu Bei had already received the edict, how could there be any reason to take it back immediately? The imperial decree is changing overnight, is the prestige of the imperial court still necessary? Besides, it is estimated that in these years, I can see through Liu Bei, and it will not be possible to replace Cao Cao or even Xun Yu and Guo Jia, I said that Liu Bei is dangerous, and I can't give him the assassination history, and they have to believe it.
couldn't help but think of the situation in Jingzhou, and immediately asked Zhuge Liang, saying that you live in Longzhong and go to school in Xiangyang, and you must understand the situation in Jingzhou. If you plan for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei does have the ambition of the world, how should you develop?
Guo Huai preemptively said: "If you have the strength, you can go north to Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu, retake Guanzhong, and take it as the foundation......" Shi Xun shook his head continuously, saying that how could he go north under this kind of shape? Let's not talk about whether the Cao family will watch Zhang Xiu being swallowed up by him, and Liu Biao will also hinder him in the back.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said confidently: "Ruoliang is seeking for Liu Bei, and living in Xinye to win the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, first map Liu Biao." The table is old, and the Cai family has power, and the scholars have many backs, if they are in the name of helping Liu Qi and punishing the Cai family, they can get Jingzhou. It is to retrace the river and go up, in order to take Ba and Shu, so that it crosses the Jing and Yiyi, protects its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, and the outside of the Jiangdong Sun family, and repairs the political affairs inside, so as to wait for the time. If there is a change in the world, he ordered a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and Liu Bei led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan, and the two went hand in hand. If this is the case, hegemony can be achieved. ”
It's Xunxin who said Hu, isn't this "Longzhong Pair"?! (To be continued......)
PS: Writing history is a big head, and there are too many constraints, especially the following research should be done to clean up Liu Bei's problem, if it is hastily dried, let alone Shu Han fans, a reader has to be anxious with me...... These days, in order to change my mind, a new article on cultivating immortals has been opened - this thing is unrestrained and easy to write - is it a pit, and write it first, and then talk about it, welcome the readers of Wenkui to go around and take a look.
The title of the book is "Fighting the Sky and Breaking the Ban", and the book number is 3337201.
