Chapter 109: Many Faces
In August of the first year of Jian'an, Hua Xin and Wang Lang resigned from their posts as county guards, and after Bai Tu was invited to meet with each other many times, he entered the Shogunate Pastoral Mansion - anyway, that's what the rumors say.
It's just that the paperwork hasn't reached the court yet.
The state pastoral government has also announced the appointment of the two people, Hua Xin is the chief sacrificial wine and indoctrination lang of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Lang is the director of the Criminal Department.
The Great Sacrifice Sake is a position only available to the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the "Honorary Department".
As for the main department of the Ministry of Rites, Bai Tu has been handed over to Kong Rong - not because of how strong Kong Rong's ability is, but because Kong Rong is now obsessed with books!
In addition to "Cutting Rhyme", Bai Tu also sorted out a lot of information on the scriptures and meanings, and handed them to Kong Rong to write a book and say.
A "Cut Rhyme" is enough to make Kong Rong stand out in the ranks of fellow "Confucians", and the several commentaries on the scriptures and meanings that Bai Tu secretly handed over to him make Kong Rong feel ...... You can go to heaven by yourself!
Of course, Bai Tu's choice is an interpretation of scriptures that has passed the test of the times and has no direct conflict with his philosophy, and is gradually handed over to Kong Rong.
Kong Rong is a very emotional person, in order to block Cao Cao, he can tear Confucian filial piety......
Bai Tu was also convinced that Kong Rong gradually "fell in" to himself, so he secretly handed over a piece of scripture and doctrine to Kong Rong.
At first, while Kong Rong was shocked by Bai Tu's erudition, he also resolutely rejected this kind of behavior of taking away human merit, but ...... It's really fragrant now.
One is that I have become accustomed to it, and the other is that I am ...... Kong Rong is not stupid, he has gradually realized that Bai Tu gave him Wengong because Bai Tu didn't need any "Wengong" at all, but needed something more tangible.
For example, a Confucian leader who can analyze the meaning of the scriptures from "different angles" for the sake of white pictures......
From the time when Kong Rong calmly accepted his gift, Bai Tu already knew that the current Kong Wenju could deny his relatives for him!
Bai Tu is also looking forward to it, when Xiao Wang grows up and Lao Kong becomes famous, then there will be a fake, a commentary, two swords combined, and the world will be invincible - I say what the sage says and thinks, and the sage just says and thinks.
The Ministry of Rites has the responsibility of instructing and supervising officials, and the department of the Ministry of Rites must be a person trusted by Bai Tu, and Kong Rong meets this condition now.
However, the current Kong Rong, although he is also a great Confucian celebrity, does not have the status of a Confucian leader, so Bai Tu specially set up a vacant position of the Great Sacrifice Wine in the Ministry of Rites, so as not to disagree with each other, after all, there is no first.
In fact, Kong Rongcai is more like a "big sacrificial wine", and the real work of the department is all done by Hua Xin......
For Kong Rong, Bai Tu is really at ease, because Kong Rong himself has been addicted to writing books and writings, and is pursuing literary merit, not the power of the Ministry of Rites.
For Hua Xin, who is really in charge of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, Bai Tu is also more assured.
Although Huaxin has its disgraceful side, such as...... After the famous cloth and belt edict incident, Cao Cao sent people to force the palace and captured and killed Queen Fu and the prince, the person who led the troops into the palace was Hua Xin, and in the artistic creation, Hua Xin personally pulled out the Queen Fu hidden in the wall, pulling out her hair.
After Lao Cao's death, Cao Pi moved his mind to usurp the throne, and when the other Wei ministers were still hesitating, Hua Xin had already gone to the palace with the edict he drafted......
This image is not positive at all, and it can be stepped on Wang Lang in the story of "taking refuge by boat" and entering the penultimate layer of the chain of moral contempt.
But what Bai Tu likes more is Hua Xin's performance in Cao Wei.
After Cao Pi took the throne, the major families have gradually completed the transformation of the gate valve, and the nine products are being made hot, and the gate valves have begun to extend their tentacles in all aspects.
At this time, an incident happened, that is, Sanfu proposed to Cao Pi that the appointment of talents in the future should only be based on his morality, and there was no need to teach him the scriptures, but this proposal was suppressed by Hua Xin.
On the surface, what Sanfu said is quite reasonable, Bai Tu also felt that reading the scriptures is nothing more than to improve his own morality, and with the changes of the times, the scriptures of a dead book are always outdated. Wouldn't it be nice to look directly at morality? Why do you have to test the teachings of the scriptures? It's not that if you don't read the scriptures, you won't have morality......
But Bai Tu has also done his homework now, so the understanding of this "episode" is also different, logically speaking, it seems that what Sanfu said is very reasonable, but in fact, it has to be combined with a point - how is "morality" considered? It's to see fame! Where does the fame come from? Blow out ......
With the environment of the Wei State at that time, only those who helped boast had a reputation, and ordinary people, and even the children of the poor family, had no one standing on the platform inside and outside, where did the reputation come from?
In other words, the so-called "morality" is completely the monopoly resource of these gate valves, and they say that only when there is morality can it be regarded as virtuous.
In this case, Hua Xin was able to abide by the bottom line and at least leave an assessment standard, which has already made a great contribution to Cao Wei's balance of the gate valve forces.
In the Cao Ei period, when the gate valve had risen in an all-round way, Cao Ei clearly said that "morality is just a painted cake for the imperial court", hoping that it can be a meritocracy, but it was repeatedly scolded back by the gate valve class that has become a general trend......
During Hua Xin's time in Yuzhang, Bai Tu also saw the people he recommended, and most of them were really talented and learned, and there were many people with no background.
In contrast, Hua Xin has a very bottom line, at least in terms of selecting talents and appointing talents, and his character is as high as the ceiling, Bai Tu does not have to worry that he will fall to the power of the family when he is in the Ministry of Rites.
Even thinking about it this way, Hua Xin, a person whose moral bottom line has completely exploded the door valves, seems to have some ways to be stinked by who later made a stink.
At the same time, Hua Xin was also "induced" by Bai Tu to recommend Guan Ning and Bing Yuan - these three people are also collectively called "One Dragon", and Hua Xin is also known as the head of the dragon.
"When Ziyi was in Liaodong, had you heard of the two gentlemen?" Bai Tu asked Tai Shici in private.
Tai Shi Ci also used to be a "fugitive" after destroying the history of assassination at the beginning, and like many people, he regarded Liaodong as a holy place to avoid disasters.
Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, after the troubled times came, also went to Liaodong - every time the Central Plains was in turmoil, it was an opportunity for the development of Liaodong.
"Mr. Guan and Mr. Genju, in Liaodong broadcast the learning of sages, even in the land of Liaodong, there are many followers, and even Gongsun Du respects them very much." When Tai Shici was in Liaodong, he naturally didn't have heard of the names of these two.
"Genju" is the word of Bing Yuan, and Bing Yuan and Tai Shi Ci still have some friendship, so Tai Shi Ci uses "words" to call him.
"That's right, can Ziyi take a trip to Liaodong?" Bai Tu asked.
From Jiangdong to Liaodong...... If the journey goes well, I won't be able to see Tai Shici until next year!
However, it is precisely because of the distance, so if it is someone else, Bai Tu is not at ease, and Tai Shici is just familiar with the road.
"Lord, wait for Bai Gongli and Bai Gonghuan to come out...... Tai Shici was a little worried, and Bai Tu would be safe at that time.
"At that time, there will only be two or three families who will really offend and die, and there will be no big war in the near future, so I should be careful." Bai Tu also knew that this matter was good for the world, but he also offended some people.
