Human beings are social animals, and in the general environment, no one will inevitably be influenced or even restrained by others. He has always been accustomed to going to bed late and waking up late, and it naturally doesn't matter when he is in Shuozhou or Youzhou, even if the governor of a state is late every day and leaves early, no one dares to care, and the supervision officials dare not go up and impeach him on this basis. But after returning to Xudu and moving to Anyi, he will be put on his actual post again, so it will be difficult to be so debauched again. The official office usually starts working at the end of the day -- that's how the word "dianmao" comes from -- that is, at six to seven o'clock in the morning, but he wants to popularize the 9-to-5 work system, and the problem is that he has such a bad habit, how dare he really bring it up to offend the public?

Other people's biological clocks are also set, and when the morning starts, you let them not go to work first and be idle at home? Outrageous!

But fortunately, Shixun is the chief official of Zhongshutai after all, and it doesn't hurt to be late a few times occasionally, and Cao Cao is only the Duke of Wei and not the Son of Heaven after all, unless there is a festival day, there is no rule of going to the early dynasty. It's just that the prime ministers will meet every five days, and they must not be late, not to mention that the other prime ministers are at the same level as themselves, so it's not good for them to wait, then Cao Cao often participates in discussions, or at least listens to the deliberations with the others, how dare Xun be contemptuous?

It stands to reason that the prime minister has no right to participate in the deliberations, and if he wants to know the result of the discussion, he can just wait for the performance with the palace. At the beginning of the problem system, you should have a diligent and dictatorial monarch, and you can't stop Cao Cao at all. After all, this is still a one-man society, the division between monarchs and ministers is obvious, and no matter how strict the system is, there are more exists outside the monarch system. are forced to be quite flexible.

This day is again the day of the Prime Minister's meeting. Cao Cao got up before dawn. After washing, he was about to go over and mingle -- he had to submit a motion for the southern expedition and listen to the opinions of the important ministers, when suddenly the door came up and reported: "Zhongshu Ling is Xun asking to see him." ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, looked up at the sky, hazy and hazy just smeared a few rays of dawn, the room was only because of his frugality, so he didn't light a candle - I didn't sleep and fainted? It is estimated that this Lianyin time has not yet passed, why did Shixun get up? The sun is going to come out in the west today?

It's a change from the past. I got up before dawn, and hurried over to find myself, there must be something important to report, and I guess I plan to discuss this matter in today's meeting, so I should talk to myself before the meeting. Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand: "Please." ”

Shi Xun bowed into the room under the guidance of the attendants, and without saying a word, he first took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Cao: "What Chen Changwen did the day before yesterday, and the Xun Speaker also." ”

This is exactly Chen Qun's plan for the Nine Grades of Officials Law. It stands to reason that Chen Qun should have submitted this plan directly to Cao Cao. Or hand it over to the head of the family, Shangshu Ling Xunyou, and then transfer it to Cao Cao. It shouldn't have been given to Shixun first. The main designer of the official system of the Wei State was Shi Xun, Chen Qun participated in the planning at the time, and did not see this loophole, and when the country was built, he suddenly inserted a lever in, and there was a suspicion of secretly plotting against Xun, so he had to discuss with Shi Xun first.

Cao Cao took the plan with both hands and unfolded it on the table. Shi Xun squinted his eyes and paid attention to Lao Cao's expression, and saw that the other party first frowned, and then stretched out, and seemed to agree, but in the end, his eyebrows couldn't help but screw together again - well, it is estimated that Cao Cao also found the drawbacks.

Yes Xun this is looking up to Cao Cao, to say that the Jiupin official system itself, in terms of the political environment at that time, is actually a good prescription, as for this good medicine will have side effects if you eat too much, unless it is a person like Xun who will wear it in later generations, no one is a prophet, and he can't look that far. Cao Cao just felt that this plan seemed very practical on the surface, but why didn't Shixun bring it up at the meeting and come to him first? Could it be that there is a loophole in it?

So he turned his questioning gaze to Jihoon. Shi Xun asked, "What do you think of Chen Qun's plan?" Cao Cao bowed slightly: "It seems that we can get rid of the disadvantages of inspection, respond to the difficulties of current affairs, and make good plans." ”

Shi Xun smiled faintly: "This plan is ...... the world" He paused deliberately, and suddenly turned around: "However, I am afraid that it is not conducive to the Cao family." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked: "What do you mean?" "If it's still the Han Dynasty today, if you say that it's good for the world, isn't that the Li Liu family? Even if this plan is implemented, it will only work for the five counties of my Wei State for the time being, and you say that it is not good for the Cao family?! That's a big problem!

Shi Xun did not answer Cao Cao's question, but asked rhetorically: "If it is applied to Peiguo, who does the lord think can be Peizhongzheng?" ”

Cao Cao twisted his beard and thought, and said for a long time: "If it is not Ji's, then Huan's ear." "Ji and Huan are both prominent families of Peiguo, although there have been no high-ranking officials in recent years, but they have a deep foundation and the most extensive connections.

As soon as the words came out, Cao Cao also felt that something was wrong-what about the Cao family? What about the Xiahou clan? It seems that no one is qualified to take on this responsibility. It's just a Cao De who is barely acceptable, the problem is that when he was very young, he followed his father Cao Song to take refuge and move to Langxie, even if he was a fellow villager, how many people could he know?

Shi Xun smiled faintly: "The main public servant, the only move, do not ask about the family, conduct, we have encountered, know that it is capable, that is, recommend it, such as Xun recommended Taishi Ziyi, Wei Wenchang, Lu Zijing, etc." Ran Ziyi Qingzhou officials, Wen Chang Zhangling's son, Zi Jing Pi Bai body, that is, the fate is right, An can recognize it? And if Xun Wen is recommended by all celebrities, he is more than recommended by Xun, Gou is a celebrity, if Zhongzheng is not far famous, Anken is recommended? Then the state and county families must be selected as Zhongzheng Ming. The disadvantages of inspection, that is, the recommended are all wealthy families, and they are colluding with each other, if the wealthy families are also neutral, then how can the old disadvantages be removed? ”

The Cao family and the Xiahou family, it sounds very good, they are the descendants of the Xinghan heroes Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying, the problem has passed for hundreds of years, the back waves of the Yangtze River have destroyed the front waves, and the emerging families are mostly the families of scriptures, where can the descendants of the martial artists still emerge? The redevelopment of the Cao family relied on Cao Teng becoming the head of the eunuchs, and then shadowing his adopted son Cao Song - but Cao Song's lieutenant was also bought with money, and he really had to rely on recommendation, not to mention his ability, just talking about his family background, it would not be Jiuqing, let alone the third prince.

Originally, we, like us, would inevitably recommend to you wherever we went, and when we saw that there were available talents, the huge power of the Cao family class developed in this way. If I return to the probation system, then when I recommend Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Lu Su and others, I will not be qualified to raise people as officials at all; So what about the change to the Zhongzheng system? You let a famous person come to Zhongzheng, he has a lot of township party to recommend, and he won't care about those poor people, let the children of the poor family come to Zhongzheng, and the celebrities may not be willing to be recommended by him. In the end, what is the difference between the final result and the fact that the family has the sole right to recommend under the inspection system, and the court is full of prominent clans from all over the country?

We used to be a grass platform team, and we didn't follow the rules, but now that we have officially established the country and set the charter, we can't destroy it casually. So in terms of Peiguo, the newly appointed Zhongzheng is either the Ji family or the Huan family, and can he still see if Cao Xiahou can't? Since then, Zhu Cao Xiahou has the ability to do it, and the level of promotion is only shaded, and it is no longer possible to take the road of recommendation-have you considered this problem?

"Then in Yingchuan, the Xun family must be the Zhongzheng, then its recommendation is all Xun's protégé and former officials - the same is true for other counties. This strategy of strong branches and weak cadres also makes the new promotion know its recommended master, but does not know the Cao family, does not know the Wei Gong, can it? When the lord is here, he can control the ministers, so that the party is not the party, and there is no secret, how can the future generations control it? Liu's is Yin Jianye. ”

This was how the Han Dynasty was held in control by some large families, such as the Yuan family, and the authority of the emperor surnamed Liu was dwindling. Lao Cao, you are very capable, of course you don't have to worry, but you have to think about future generations, you can't repeat the mistakes of the Liu family!

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The long article mistook me...... Hongsuke saw far away. ”

It was Xun who said that it was not Chen Qun who intended to be bad, after all, he was born in a family, and some things felt logical, so he couldn't think of it that far. But I'm different from you, my family background is not very high, even after ten years and a hundred years, I don't want other families to press on the head of the Cao family! "Therefore, it is beneficial to the world, but not to the Cao family."

In fact, Xun's words can be said to Chen Qun clearly, or put forward at the prime minister's meeting, including Chen Changwen and Xun Gongda, all of them are political people, and they must be thorough. But after all, the butt decides the head, and they may not be willing to give in. Originally, Cao Cao has been suppressing the family all these years, but in the eyes of Chen, Xun and others who are from the same family, there is a certain truth - some families are indeed too large, which directly affects the operation of the central and local government affairs, and Cao Cao himself is not from a high background, so it is impossible to rely on the family to fight the world. But looking at the initial decision of the Central Plains, they will inevitably think: Time has changed, and it is time to tilt the policy towards the family, otherwise the world will not be stable for a long time.

Even Cao Cao was forced to fool them and say the words "to rule peace and virtue, and to reward the function of doing things" -- to pacify the troubled times, it is indispensable to be rude, and it is not until the peaceful season that the scribes should take power. Due to the limitation of resources, the Shu people's poor family is generally inferior to the family in the Confucian scriptures, which is a social reality, and it will not change because of people's subjective likes and dislikes, and it will not be because Xun pushed the Shu people a few times, and the situation can be completely reversed in just ten years. So, when the world is decided, if the family is not in power, who will be in power?

Therefore, it was Xun who wanted to persuade Cao Cao first, because Cao Cao would be involved in the prime minister's meeting, and this person was rampant with force, and his words had the effect of saying a word. When the reason doesn't make sense, you still have to sacrifice the magic weapon of power.

Cao Cao was really persuaded by Shi Xun, and immediately wanted to abandon Chen Qun's plan. It was Xun who persuaded him, saying goodbye, Chen Changwen's plan is also quite meritorious, and you will directly abolish it, they will have endless advice - not to mention anything else, the local government cannot recommend enough talents to come, as the secretary of the ministry, Chen Qun is difficult to cook without rice, so he may directly pick a pick-"If it is corrected, it can also be used."
