Chapter 7: Building momentum for Cao

Shi Xun's attitude towards Siyi, in addition to all the contempt of the time, is more vigilant and careful, he told the students, don't think that Yi Di is just a wild cat that is used to wandering around your house, and from time to time crappy into the house to steal a small fish - although Xun has never seen a cat in this year, let alone heard of a domestic cat - if you are not careful, this wild cat may turn into a jackal and a tiger, not only stealing fish, but also eating people!

So under the guidance of this point of view, Shi Xun also fought with the Tuoba Ministry, personally led Tuoba and other five Ministries into the Han Dynasty, and at the same time accepted Tuoba Liwei (is Wei) as a fake, which is indeed a bit difficult to understand - is what you say and what you do true?

However, for this issue, Shixun does not need to pretend to be clear, or even need to analyze it carefully, he only said a few words: "Quan also, use also." "It's just a temporary move, it's to take advantage of them. Then he thought about it for a while, and added: "The four yiyi are combined, China's disaster, the four yi's division, China's luck, and it is said that it is also to control the raze with razing." ”

Ideas and means must be distinguished, they are both unified and contradictory, too persistent in ideas, and blunt means are pedantic, and completely unscrupulous means will inevitably lead to the loss of ideas. It is precisely because I am wary of foreign aggression and want to divide them, fight them, and then merge them, so I first pull one gang to fight the other gang, which is not contrary to my philosophy.

Today, in the "Huayi Debate", in other courses, Shi Xun has sold many special concepts, such as commercial problems, industrial and technological problems, government function problems, and even the more rough concepts of freedom, equality, democracy, and so on. Lecturing is much easier than debating, mainly because the teacher can interrupt the students' words and train of thought at any time, but when the teacher is at length. Students do not raise their hands and are not allowed. No speakers. So just prepare the lesson in advance. Search for sentences that are beneficial to oneself from the Confucian classics, and try to distort them by searching for sentences that are unfavorable to oneself, no matter how weird the theory is, it seems to be reasonable.

Besides, for now, whether it is these students in Taixue or the scholars who received the number to audit (it is estimated that he must have secretly collected the registration fee, Shixun not only did not see a civilian among the auditors, but also did not even see a poor scholar in shabby clothes). The vast majority of them are not at the same level, and they really can't ask any special questions. Just now, "Mr. Wen made the alliance to make Xiong Monan, and accepted his chief as a false son, there are you?" How is it contrary to what is said? "Even if the questions are more acute.

But no matter how mediocre these people are, once they listen to Shihoon's lectures, they will inevitably go out and be majestic and instinctively spread them everywhere, and the ideas of Shihoon will gradually spread out - and even unilaterally, because these students do not have the ability to argue against dissenting opinions. affirmed: "This Mr. Hongfu is also taught, if you have doubts." Let's go ask the sir. "But can you really talk to Shihoon? Can you really lead the number?

In addition to stuffing private goods and promoting his own ideas, in fact, Xun's lecture with such fanfare also contains two other purposes. The first is to continue to consolidate the dominance of ancient texts, especially Zheng Xue, and at the same time make it in turn coax its own prestige in Shilin - although Zheng Xuejing is so distorted by him, whether it can still be regarded as Zheng Xue, or even whether it can be counted as Confucianism, must be marked with a big question mark.

The second is to maintain the social function of Confucianism as much as possible. You must know that Confucianism changed greatly from the Wei and Jin dynasties, mainly because starting from Cao Cao, he engaged in spy politics and suppressed the public opinion that had been very noisy since the Han Dynasty, and reached the top of darkness when Sima took power, so that Confucianism did not dare to deny state affairs, and the wind of clean talk swept away for a while. Metaphysics is not useless, but it is indeed a reaction against traditional Confucianism, which for a long time largely abandoned its social character and focused only on personal cultivation. Personal cultivation is not unimportant, but what is the point of detaching oneself from the analysis and transformation of society, and just closing the door and reflecting on oneself?

In fact, eating too many five stones and rolling on the ground, staying at home and scolding guests for drilling their crotches, similar to absurd words and deeds, also contain dissatisfaction with the dark reality and ridicule of conservative society. If there were not even these absurd words and deeds, then the Confucian scholars would have completely changed their aspirations.

Of course, Xun didn't think that his doing so was likely to affect Cao Cao's policy of suppressing public opinion - Han Ji's public opinion was a bit too much, directly threatening the government's rule and even the unity of the country, Cao Cao wanted to suppress it, but it was overkill, and it made the whole society stagnant - but after all, his identity was different from others, and Wei Chuxing's speech was not so strict. So later, Wang Su dared to jump out to challenge Zheng Xue, and Cao Rong used Dong Zhaoyan to strictly prohibit "flashiness" and remove Zhuge Dan and Deng Yang. If this is left in the Jin Dynasty, the glitz has become the whole society, at least it is the atmosphere of the whole Confucianism, and who can ban it, who is willing to ban it?

That's why it was Xun who dared to stand up and speak, dare to give big lectures, talk about scriptures and righteousness, and even deny current affairs. On the other hand, from time to time, he also mixed some theories that were beneficial to Cao's usurpation of the Han dynasty in his lectures, such as "hearing that a husband is punished, but not that the king is killed", for example, he recognized Yi Yin's imprisonment of Taijia and Huo Guang's abolition of Changyi, for example, "the destiny of heaven is impermanent, and only the virtuous live in it". He knows the basic content of the lecture, there will definitely be a secret detective of school affairs, and after the report is completed, Cao Cao knows, so the benevolent see his benevolence, and the wise see his wisdom, Cao Cao may think that the main purpose of Shixun is to build momentum for himself, which is not known.

The big lecture lasted until dusk, and it was only then that Shixun woke up again and announced the end of the course - the next time he took a break, if there was no accident, he would continue to preach, please hurry up and register. After crapping back to the backyard, ready to use his third meal of the day.

This meal was theoretically meant to be shared with the family, and in order to harmonize the atmosphere at home, Shihoon deliberately changed the seating system at that time, and set up a large table, and the whole family gathered in a circle for dinner. Of course, although they sit together, they also share the food, so that their children will not get used to eating together and leave home in the future.

However, on this day, he had just sat down on the right seat, waved his hand from side to side, and ordered his wife, concubine and two daughters to sit down, when suddenly the servant came to report: "Mr. Guan and his friends ask to see him." ”

It's Xun Xin who said that if you don't come early, you won't come late, why do you want to rush me to dinner-Guan Shiqi, you don't know my daily habits? However, others can block it, and Guan Jing is also a teacher and friend to Shixun, but he can't be rejected thousands of miles away. So he had to shrug his shoulders at his wife, concubines, and daughters, showing an apologetic wry smile, and then ordered: "Set up a case in the front hall to entertain Mr. Guan and others." ”

Who knows what you're going to say when you come back? How long does it take? You can't let me accompany you on an empty stomach, and it's not good for me to listen while eating, so that you can watch with the next child. It is estimated that Guan Jing is here for dinner, so okay, I'll count it for you.

When he straightened his clothes and came to the front hall, he saw that Guan Jing and the "friend" had already arrived, sat on the left and right, and when he saw Shixun, he got up and saluted. Shi Xun nodded at Guan Jing first, then turned to the other person, and after looking at it, he couldn't help frowning: "Why did Yuan Tu come here?" ”

It turned out that this person was not him, but the Yuan family's subordinate to the Yuan family. Thinking that the Yuan clan was destroyed, Xiao Ji was forced to surrender to the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and then Xun led the army to attack Liao, and he defected again, and made great achievements - although Xun didn't like this gloomy guy very much, it was not good to cut it in two, but to make people escort it in the name of escort, escort it for real, and send it to Xudu. At that time, Cao Cao had already led the army south to conquer Liu Biao, and it was Cao Ang, the general of the five officials, who stayed in Xu Du, and with Cao Ang's temperament, he naturally looked down on this minister with three surnames, and casually gave him an idle position of 400 stones. Unwilling to be humiliated, he simply resigned and returned to his hometown of Nanyang to live idlely.

For several years, there was no news of this person, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear today, and it was brought by Guan Jing. It's Xun who wondered, thinking that back then, Xiao Ji assisted Yuan Shao, Guan Jing assisted Gongsun Zhan, and the two families could see a lot of battles, it stands to reason that they are enemies and not friends, even if they are now all under the Cao family, the past suspicion may be abandoned, but how can there be a sudden friendship?

So I couldn't help but ask: "Why did Yuantu come here?" Xiao Ji hadn't answered yet, and Guan Jing next to him spoke first: "Naijing sent people to Nanyang to welcome Yuantu." "I took him over.

Shi Xun glanced at Guan Jing, and roughly guessed this gong's thoughts in his heart, so he waved his hand: "You wait, please sit down, eat first." "Let's have a chat while we eat. So the servant brought the food table, and Xiao Ji only ate two bites, and then smiled: "It is rumored that Lingjun is a good and beautiful food, and I will not be deceived." Shi Xun said that if you like it, then eat more, and then turned to Guan Jing to ask each other. Guan Jing didn't get into the topic first, but asked Shixun: "I heard that Chen Changwen asked the eldest son to supervise the military of Jing, Hunan and Hongzhou. Shixun nodded and said that there was indeed such a thing.

Not long ago, there was an urgent report, the old generals of the Sun family, Xu Zhong and Zhang Gang, rebelled in Yichun County, Yuzhang County, and thousands of people had gathered - whether these two names appeared in the history books, Xun really can't remember clearly, even if there was a stroke in a certain corner, it can basically be positioned as a soy sauce public. Both of them are natives of Yuzhang, according to the strategy of "southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north", coupled with their own low status, they are retained as county officials, and it is estimated that they have contradicted the Cao family's airborne Taishou in the past, so they blatantly rebelled.

Cao Cao consulted the ministers, where should the soldiers and horses be transferred, and who should be the general to quell the chaos? Chen Qun immediately asked for a play, saying that the eldest son saw that he was in Jiangxia, not far from Yuzhang, and that he could add the title of military governor of Jing, Hunan and Hong, and transfer troops to the campaign. Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and when he saw that no important ministers expressed fierce opposition, he also allowed to play.

This is yesterday's incident, and Xun also analyzed it with Guan Jing after returning home, saying that from this point of view, Cao Cao did not plan to give up Cao Ang, and Chen Qun was able to speak for Cao Ang, which shows that this son still has a strong foundation in the court. However, Guan Jing brought up this matter again today, but said: "At noon today, Yuan Tu came from Nanyang, and what he saw was different from Jing on current affairs. ”

"Oh?" Shi Xun couldn't help but pay attention to the era: "What did you see in Yuantu?" ”

Xiao Ji put down his chopsticks, and Cheng Zhu twisted his beard on his chest: "This is someone who wants to harm the eldest son!" (To be continued......)
