Chapter 16: Thoughts on Abolishing the Establishment

Yesun didn't receive many business cards in his previous life - of course, if you really have the heart to collect them, you can go home with half a schoolbag in a circle around Zhongguancun - in this life, especially in the last few years, the famous thorns he received have gone to the sea, if they are all chopped as firewood, he will be fearless of the cold winter in the second half of his life.

In these years, there will be no people who can go out on the street to pick up the thorns, and there will be no one who will distribute them aimlessly during the banquet - it is estimated that the cost is too high and the social materials are relatively scarce. Under normal circumstances, only when you go to your mansion to do your job, you will put in the famous thorns, which are basically small pieces of wooden coffins, with names and resumes on them. If people don't see it, they will naturally return the name thorn, and if they see it, they will also return the name thorn, not to say "unwilling to accept", but to mean "dare not accept".

Therefore, it is said in the history books that You Heng "first arrived in Yingchuan, but he was in the yin and bosom, and he was at a loss, and as for the tattoo word was destroyed". The vast majority of people look down on him, or don't bother to answer him, so they all "refuse" to take his thorn, and a few people such as Kong Rong and Yang Xiu are willing to make friends with him, and regard him as a great talent in the world, "dare not accept" his thorn, so he can't hand it out with his famous thorn, and even the text on it is blurred.

Since Shixun improved and wantonly produced, sold, and publicized the use of paper, there were gradually began to be people who used paper as a thorn, just to make the quality and value no less than that of wooden slips, most of them used good paper, layered on top of each other, and even painted gold and flowers to show their cherishment. Regardless of whether it is a piece of wood or a piece of paper, Shixun has received a lot of them over the years - among them, the "dare not take it" is only a single digit, and the "unwilling to take it" is several times the number of those that have been connected.

Of course, most of these famous thorns are piled up in Anyi - it is impossible for Xun Cai to carry so many heavy wastes around with a car - but his name, surname, and resume. and they were all transcribed. Compiled into a book. And take it with you. "What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent! In fact, this was still the case in the second century A.D., so it was necessary to thicken its reserves.

It must be admitted that the vast majority of these famous thorns received by Shi Xun are the children of the family - although he is more willing to support the Hanmen, but the problem is that the Hanmen is still a "Adou who can't be supported", because the resources are far inferior to the family, so his children are learned and talented, whether in absolute or relative numbers. They are also inferior to the Saga family, and for now, this situation has not changed much due to the popularization of papermaking and printing. For example, if someone comes to the door to stab, it is Xun who doesn't know the name - it can be seen that there is no record of this person's deeds in the history books, and there is no distant name in reality - and there is no familiar person to recommend, so basically he will directly return the ticket. However, if this person is from a family, even if he wants to get in touch with his family, he must meet him.

Those poor children who have never met talents, you have to at least have a big lesson. And I have to have the opportunity to ask a few questions that are a little deeper, so that I can be received by Shixun - the master of the scriptures, and the important minister of the Wei State is Hongfu. What can be seen casually?

Therefore, it is an alternative character in the bag, it is really full of pits, and there is no fear of no one at all. If Cao Cao asks for the defense of the state and county, and even the important ministers of the court, Shi Xun really can't take out a few, in this regard, he is worse than Xun's uncle and nephew - I have already recommended Lu Zijing and Zhuge Brothers, similar characters, how much more do you want? I think where is the cabbage, you can talk about the pile? But if it's just an ordinary Shangshutai and Lantai officials, with a job of 400 stones or 600 stones, it is really a big deal.

Being in Shilin, like sitting in a fish pond with a hook, the hidden dragon is not easy to find, and ordinary carp and silver carp are not difficult to catch.

immediately mobilized the doormen, and at the same time, the letters were scattered, and soon the personnel of Shangshutai were replenished, and even Lantai stuffed seven more Lingshi in. These people don't have the talent to settle the country, but they are capable of ordinary paperwork, and that's enough. And for these people, if they have the talent and the way to pass the imperial examination and be awarded the Wei position, they would have gone to Anyi a long time ago, and those who are still living at home, except for a few people whose ambitions are too high, most of them have no idea of being a good official.

It's just that when Shixun led the newcomers into the inner court, Han Ji and the others were shocked when they saw it, Han Gongzhi respectfully asked behind his back, Ling Jun, what are you going to do?

After all, our authority is so big, there is so much work, do you find so many people to eat?

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "The country is a good man, how can you eat it in vain?" "Of course I have something to do for them, I came to Shangshutai today just to meet with everyone and recognize the colleagues, and then I will go to Lantai with me to sort out the books! Then he patted Han Ji on the shoulder: "Gongzhi, the matter of Shangshu, I will entrust it." ”

So he played, and asked Han Ji to shoot for Shang Shu, responsible for Taichung affairs, and Shixun himself was even more big than the original Huaziyu, and directly led the big ticket and the small officials to the newly expanded Lantai. As soon as he told Sun Yan about the matter, Sun Shuran was overjoyed, and Chao Shixun repeatedly said, "Hongfu is also the pillar of the true country." Now that the government is in Anyi, what is the matter with Xu Du? Only the classics are important, and it is the work of a thousand years. ”

Come on, come, I'll arrange for them to sort out the classics, you wait a while, and then our brothers can have a good talk about the scriptures.

Who thinks that Xun Chao Sun Yan spread his hands: "Xun has no learning, and he doesn't dare to talk to his brother." ”

Sun Yanyi frowned and said What do you mean by this? Are you here for Xi Hongyu's grievances? "If Hongfu doesn't learn, how can he annotate the scriptures? How can you say what you say? "You have a lot of strange understandings with the scriptures, and I was about to discuss it with you, but you prevaricate for no reasonβ€”are all the ones you note admitting to be talking nonsense?

Shi Xun Zhengse said: "My brother has been doing state affairs in recent years, and he has occasionally thought about it, all of which are annotated with scriptures, and what he sees is shallow and scattered. How is it like Brother Sun, with 10,000 volumes on the side, surrounded by trillion books, reading widely, and thinking deeply - Xun An dares to discuss? That's why I went to Lantai to study. "You have stayed in Lantai for the past two years and studied all your books, how dare I discuss the scriptures with you? You can also allow me to read the book for a few months first, and then it's not too late for us to talk.

Sun Yan smiled "hee-hee": "Hongfu is a good scholar." "Don't be too humble, let's study together and make progress together.

It was Xun who perfunctory Sun Yan. He immediately arranged for the servants to sort out the books in different categories. And he deliberately cared for it and said, "If this dynasty is before." Those who talk about Yao Shun and the three generations, whether they are true or false, ancient or modern, or scattered, are all taken from me. "I'm going to find arguments to persuade Liu Xie.

The days of studying passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a hurry, and then ushered in the New Year's Day of the sixteenth year of Jian'an. At the same time, news reached Xu Du that Cao Ang had resigned from his temporary position as governor of the three prefectures, completed his inspection of the old Jingzhou area, and returned to Anyi a year ago. Cao Cao met with his son and talked earnestly. and consulted the opinions of the important ministers, and finally decided to canonize the prince of Wei, which was drafted by Yang Dezu, and asked the Son of Heaven for permission.

What Cao Cao and Cao Ang talked about, even the school affairs could not be found out - it can be seen how private it was. But some of his conversations with the important ministers reached the ears of Shi Xun through the school affairs system. It is said that Cao Cao once asked Jia Xu, but Jia Wenhe was silent, so Cao Cao asked: "If you don't answer, why not?" Jia Xu said: "It's appropriate to think, so it's not the right ear." "Cao Cao asked you what you were thinking? Jia Xu finally tried to see the poor dagger - "Si Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng and his son are also." ”

It's Xun Wenxin. couldn't help laughing: "Wen Hegu is cunning." "You're still here to do it! In the original history, Cao Cao was indecisive between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. asked Jia Xu, and Jia Wenhe's answer was the same. On the surface, Jia Xu put his position very right, and what he said is also in line with the general meaning of Confucianism - the elders and young are orderly, and it is absolutely politically correct to establish a long one, even if Cao Cao finally gave up Cao Ang (this timeline) or Cao Pi (originally in history), the heir cannot complain about him Jia Xu because of this.

But if you think about it again, Lao Jia can obviously say to Cao Cao: "Abolish the long and the young, and take the way of chaos, please ask the lord to follow the courtesy." But he just wanted to go around in circles and take Yuan Shao and Liu Biao as examples, in order to leave a deeper impression on Cao Cao, which shows that his personal tendencies are not very clear?

It's just that among the important ministers of the Cao family, Jia Wenhe is both a backward and a demote after all, and the ranking is relatively low, and his words alone may not make Cao Cao completely make up his mind. What Cao Cao attaches more importance to is the views of Xun You, Zhong Xuan and others - Xun's old minister, Zhong's new minister, is in charge of Shangshu, and he will be the prime minister of the state for future generations, how can he not seek the opinion of the prime minister in advance for such a major matter as establishing an heir?

Of course, the establishment of an heir is not only a state affair, but also a family affair, Cao Cao is a strong monarch, if he really makes up his mind, even if he abolish the elder and the young, as long as he does not abolish the heir, he does not have to care about the opinions of the courtiers. It can also be seen from this that Cao Cao's heart is still hesitating and hesitating, and the result obtained by talking secretly with Cao Ang's father and son is bound to be unsatisfactory.

So in the end, it was the wise Xun Gongda who helped Cao Cao dispel the hesitation in his heart. When Cao Cao asked Xun You, Xun You also said: "The minister is thoughtful. "Cao Cao said in his heart, you won't be thinking about Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, right? Unexpectedly, Xun You replied: "Emperor Si Xigao established his heir, how can Emperor Xiaohui not lose his position?" ”

Han Gaozu Liu Bang favored Liu Ruyi, the concubine born to Mrs. Qi, and once had the heart of abolishing the elder and the young, to say that Confucianism did not occupy a dominant position in political life at that time, the traditional etiquette for Liu Bang and other big and rough people, but also can be thrown into the garbage heap at any time, and the status of the eldest son Liu Ying is really precarious. But in the end, Liu Ying successfully survived the crisis and succeeded as the second son of heaven of the Han Dynasty after Liu Bang's death, Emperor Xiaohui, why is this?

It is generally believed that it is because Liu Ying and his mother Lu Pheasant adopted Zhang Liang's suggestion and invited the famous "Shangshan Sihao" to be Liu Ying's teacher.

However, Xun You has a different opinion on this: "If Prime Minister Xiao, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Prime Minister Chen Cheng, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng (Zhang Cang), and Teng Gong (Xiahou Ying), Zhou Bo and others are all devoted to Emperor Xiaohui, Si can be said to be full-fledged. 'Sihao' has its name in vain, without an inch of merit and no soldiers, what can be called a wing? ”

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the military nobles actually controlled the government, and these people didn't think about their backs, just for the sake of the four new old men, they felt that the eldest son was powerful, and he couldn't move, how could there be such a reason in the world?

Cao Cao twisted his beard and groaned, saying that what Gongda said was reasonable - so why do you think Liu Bang didn't dare to do anything to abolish the establishment?

Xun Yu replied slowly: "According to the old history, the ministers have some opinions. Emperor Gao broke Xiang Yu for five years, but the world was not decided, six years of Yunmeng and Han Xin, seven years of killing the Huns and trapped in Pingcheng, eight years of the beginning and pro-Huns, nine years of migration of 100,000 heroes into the customs, ten years to hit Chen Xuan, eleven years to kill Peng Yue, twelve years to destroy Huang Bu, spin. The world is still chaotic, and Hanji is not solidified, how can those who are in chaos because of this? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "What Gongda said is true, and he knows it!" (To be continued......)
