Xun You did not talk about the question of standing long or young, nor did he compare Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. In fact, if you really want to compare it, whether it is in the original history or on this timeline, the situation of Cao Cao's heirs is still different from Yuan and Liu.

Regardless of the original history for the time being, only in this life, Yuan and Liu's two heirs are both sons-in-law, but they are not born to the same mother, the first wife has died, and the second wife is still alive, so the young son is born with a stable backer, and the eldest is only a name. Yuan Tan was put out because of this, and Liu Qi was not valued by his father because of this. However, the two old men only have the heart to abolish the establishment, but there is no real abolition - Yuan Shao finally realized before his death, but he was scratched by the discipline; Liu Biao forced Liu Qi to be anxious, and he actually got up and took a fight, imprisoned his father, and detained his brother's biggest backer, Cai Mao......

The situation of the Cao family is not quite the same, first of all, whether it is Cao Ang or the Pi and Zhi brothers, they are not sons-in-law - of course, Cao Ang is raised by Mrs. Ding, and nominally can be equated with a son-in-law; Secondly, Mrs. Bian has not yet taken the throne, and the Pi and Zhi brothers also lack sufficient supporters. However, the most important thing is that Cao Ang, as the heir, is not only in accordance with the etiquette law, but also Cao Cao has already determined that he has been appointed as the prince of Wei - so Xun You said that this is not about the eldest and youngest, but the real "abolition" issue.

I wonder why Liu Bang didn't abolish Liu Ying back then, because Liu Ying is not only the elder, but also the prince, if he is replaced, it will inevitably cause a considerable political turmoil. Most of the founding monarchs were strong, and Liu Bang's personal prestige and power were not under the current Cao Cao, but he first destroyed Xiang Yu and then attacked the Xiongnu. Although the Han Dynasty has been founded, the old man has not been able to live a peaceful and stable life. It has not yet been decided in the world. When the political situation is still turbulent, the abolition of the establishment without permission may lead to irreparable consequences!

The past is compared with the present, Cao Cao, did you use Wei to replace Han? Cao Cao, have you been a leader? Liu Xie is still in Xudu, Lu Bu is still in Bingzhou, and Liu Bei is still in Shuzhong, don't look at our huge power now. If you really want to cause internal turmoil and fissures because of the abolition, will it trigger a domino effect? What if it's out of control?

"Han Feiyun: 'The embankment of a thousand zhang collapses with the nest of ants; A hundred-foot room, burned with the smoke of the crevice. 'Is the lord careless?' ”

If time goes back ten or twenty years, maybe Cao Cao's neck will be stalked. Laughed proudly: "Who am I afraid of chaos? "What internal turmoil and fissures are you afraid of? Who dares not to obey. Swing your sword and slash it. However, at this time, Cao Cao was already over fifty years old, and his twilight was gradually sprouting, and he wanted to be safe in doing things, and he didn't dare to take unnecessary risks anymore, so he listened to Xun You's advice, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "What Gongda said is true, and he knows alone!" ”

So it was officially determined that the eldest son Cao Ang was appointed as the heir. Ordered Yang to revise the table and play the imperial court. The news reached Xu Du faster than the text. Guan Jing came to report that it was Xun, and after listening to the cause and effect, he couldn't help twisting his beard and muttering.

Zhou Budo stood on the side, and asked: "The storage position is established, the Cao family is safe, the Cao family is safe, and the world will be determined." This good news is also, but I don't like it when I see my husband, what is it? ”

Shi Xun pursed his lips, raised his head and asked Zhou Budo: "If you have a five-year life with Emperor Gao, Xiaohui'an will succeed to the throne?" ”

Liu Bang was busy consolidating the Han Dynasty and exterminating the princes with different surnames, so he didn't dare to brazenly change the store in the case of political instability, but before he died, he had already destroyed the kings with different surnames in the north and the Xiongnu in the south, and swore an oath with the ministers to punish the white horse, that is to say, everything that should be done has been done. Since then, the world has been peaceful, you said that if Liu Bang was given five more years of life, would he really have a trip to abolish the establishment?

Zhou Budo didn't answer yet, Guan Jing smiled first: "This Xun Gongda's wisdom is also." He took out another document from his sleeve: "And there is still one matter, Jing has not yet reported it to the lord." ”

Shi Xun took the document and took a look, it turned out to be information from Anyi, saying that Cao Cao not only made Cao Ang the prince, but also played the son of heaven at the same time, requesting that Ding be posthumously crowned as the queen of Wei and canonized Bian as the queen of the time.

Cao Cao has long wanted to put the Bian family in the right place - after the death of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ding one after another, only the Bian family followed Cao Cao for the longest time, although the background was low, but he was also quite favored by Cao Cao; The second is that the Bian family gave birth to four sons in a row, except for Cao Xiong, who died early, the other three sons are all adults, and they are much older than the sons born to Cao Cao's other concubines; In this way, the queen's position, who is the Bian family?

However, it has been several years since Mrs. Ding's death, and Cao Cao has never dared to support the Bian family, and it is precisely because the three sons of the Bian family have grown up that the order of the eldest and youngest is closely behind Cao Ang. Cao Cao has been hesitating, and he does not have the intention of abolishing Cao Ang, but if the Bian family becomes the queen, it is conceivable that countless people who want to make the helm will flock to the Pi and Zhi brothers, then I am afraid that although Cao Cao does not want to abolish Cao Ang, he will not be able to get it-this wrong signal, I can't just release it.

Now that the status of the prince of Cao Ang has been determined, he can finally be the Bian family. It's just that before that, I have to posthumously seal Mrs. Ding. Shi Xun hurriedly asked for the previous information to watch it - unlike the posthumous Ding clan and the Fuzheng Bian clan, it was just a piece of news, and the school affairs had already obtained the first draft of Yang Xiu's recital. He studied word by word, pointed at one point, and couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Budo leaned over to take a look, and saw that the place read: "The eldest son of the minister, Ang, the late wife Ding's son, is loyal, diligent and thrifty, filial piety and virtuous ......"

Zhou Budo said that King Wei's thinking was very meticulous, and on the seal of the Son of Heaven, he did not say that Cao Ang was born to the Liu family in the side room, but said that it was the "son of Ding" in the main room, which was to determine Cao Ang's status as the eldest son at the same time. In this way, the throne of he, the prince of the king, will be stable, and Cao Pi and others will not be coveted.

Guan Jing shook his head: "Yuan Zhi is wrong." What about the elders? Emperor Gao in the past wanted to abolish the elder and establish a young man, but now the King of Wei is under his knees, and he already has four sons-in-law? ”

Zhou Budo said, I just wanted to talk about it, these two things are really not good to compare - "At the beginning of the country, Confucianism was used, politics was important to the elderly, and the difference between the elder and the youngest was a fallacy. The Lu clan was in turmoil, Emperor Xiaowen succeeded to the great unification of the foreign domain, Emperor Xiaowu was the middle son of Emperor Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaozhao was the youngest son of Emperor Xiaowu. Later, Emperor Xiaoxuan, Emperor Xiaoyuan, and Emperor Xiaocheng were all born one after another, and the old rites were reused until now. Abolishing the long and standing young, contrary to the law of etiquette, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are defeated if they have their hearts, isn't it the true meaning of what Jia Wenhe said? ”

Shi Xun smiled: "Yuan Zhi is becoming more and more mistaken. Since the eastward migration of Shizu, the scriptures have flourished, and Confucianism has been restored, but Emperor Xiaoming is the fourth son of Shizu, Emperor Xiaozhang is the fifth son of Emperor Xiaoming, Emperor Xiaohe is the fourth son of Emperor Xiaozhang, and Emperor Xiaoxiao and Emperor Xiaozi are also ...... Standing young has become a trend, where is its grandeur? ”

Zhou Budo couldn't help but be dumbfounded, don't think it's right.

He really thought about it just now, Xun You took Liu Bang as an example, he just thought about the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, before the great revival of Confucianism, it was often contrary to the law of etiquette and disorderly establishment of the young, and after the great revival of Confucianism, Emperor Xuan passed on Emperor Yuan, and Emperor Yuan passed on to Emperor Cheng, which was the prince when he was young, and he ascended the throne smoothly after adulthood, without any confusion. That's why the country can be too safe and healthy, isn't it? Later, Emperor Cheng had no children, and Emperor Mourning inherited the unification of the outside domain, which is a special problem and special analysis, so we don't need to list it further.

However, it was Xun who beat him up with one sentence - the Eastern Han Dynasty had the "rule of the Ming Zhang", and then until Huan and Ling, they could barely be said to be peaceful, and the respect of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty far exceeded that of the Western Han Dynasty, but below Guangwu, Ming, Zhang, He, Yin, etc., are all not the elders, what should you say?

Of course, the establishment of the crown prince is not based on the eldest son, and there are many reasons for this, such as abolishing the old prince first, and then establishing a new prince (the purpose of abolishing it is not to establish it), and for example, the queen does not have a descendant...... But there is no eldest son, there is always a concubine, and what are you doing to help the fourth and fifth elders to the top positions at every turn?

So Shi Xun taught Zhou Budo: "Yuan Zhi thinks that there is a grandson, but there is no grandson, and it is not a Confucian ceremony." This Zhou ritual is also used by the world, that is, Emperor Gao started from the reckless, despised Confucianism and practiced the Confucian scarf, and also knew that he did not dare to stand up to King Zhao Ruyi. Confucianism thought that the Son of Heaven ruled the Quartet, and it was better to establish a long man than to establish a virtuous person. ”

The etiquette of the scholars handed down from the Zhou Dynasty just said that there are grandchildren and no grandchildren, and this habit has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even Liu Bang, who was born in the small people, understands it. However, Confucianism often believes that the Son of Heaven has a heavy responsibility and cannot be foolish, so "establishing a virtuous" is more important, but in a sense, it destroys traditional etiquette - but which son is virtuous? That's not based on Daddy's free heart.

Zhou Budo asked, then teacher, do you think it is right to be a long-term successor, or to be a virtuous person? What kind of person should be the prince?

Shi Xun looked left and right, and there were only three people in the room, Guan Jing and Zhou Budo, so he could speak boldly, so he lowered his voice and said: "I think that you don't have to be long, you don't have to be virtuous, you have to be virtuous." ”

Zhou Bu question: Is there a difference between virtuous and virtuous? Yes Xun said that there is-" said Wenyun: 'Xian, multi-talented. 'The upper left is the minister, the upper right is the hand, and the lower is the shell, but he who knows that he can grasp the shell with his hand and does not lose the right path is also virtuous. The virtuous see their hearts, and the sages see their talents. But is there no talent in business? Isn't Hu Hai talented? If it is not virtuous, the country will perish. "Actually, Xun's real intention is that as long as the bureaucratic system is perfected, the emperor will rule with the bow, and if it is really arbitrary, the more knowledge there is, the more reactionary it will be—of course, in terms of peace and prosperity.

Zhou Budo nodded, and then said: "I think that the virtues of the sons cannot be learned, and the virtues of the eldest sons are seen by everyone, and it is the establishment of the eldest son." ”

Guan Jing smiled and said, the question of who will be the prince of Wei, and then the future prince of Emperor Wei, is not up to you, Cao Cao has the final say - which son is more virtuous or more virtuous, in the end, Cao Cao has the final say. Cao Cao has already laid the foreshadowing, and it can even be said that he has buried hidden dangers, maybe one day in the future, he can abolish Cao Ang and establish Pi, plant and so on!
