177. Cao Gong
Meritocracy, this sentence is actually closely linked to Cao Cao, this is the 15th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao issued, a sentence in the order to seek talents, Jian'an 15 years of seeking talents.
Cao Cao's three orders during his reign are the key to understanding Cao Cao's struggle with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The core struggle is about the struggle for the Mandate of Heaven, what is the Mandate of Heaven, and which Mandate of Heaven is the hearts of the people in the world, or the majority of the people in the court.
This was the core of Cao Cao's rivalry with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that Cao Cao, as long as he doesn't go out when he is free, Cao Cao will serve the melody, these three times, the other time he is more straightforward than the first time!
We talked about Cao Cao's three decrees, which are reassuring and gratifying with life. This was the clarion call for Cao Cao to seize power. Behind this is in Cao Cao's heart, we talked about the ideal expansion, but to achieve real absolute control over power.
The process is longer and more arduous, and it is also a more arduous person, and the specific realization of this process is a sentence of this squirrel, the right that Cao Cao wants to win. To win such rights. What method did he use. In fact, it is four words, stealing beams and changing pillars, and replacing real Tianming with a fake mandate of heaven. The true mandate of heaven is the support of the people of the world, and the false mandate of heaven is the vast majority of the court. Let's take a look at how Cao Cao obtained the fake mandate of heaven we said through these three merit-seeking orders. The first event is 15 years, this time this is this one, this is this, this is this, this time this famous saying in the talent is the bathroom cabinet, this time the decree is called the only talent, is the second time is Jian'an 19 years is Cao Cao when the red, that year. Cao Cao and Sun Quan have just fought a big battle, if you need to test Cao Cao's second decree sneakers, this time's famous sentence, in this time?
The famous sentence in the second talent order is called the trend, nothing more than short, that is, the length of the person, so the second talent order, also known as the trend, nothing more than the exercise trend is nothing more than the short definition of the talent is more than the bureau everyone understands much more broad, a meritocracy to decide what to say, what is a talent, do not ask about the background, ask if your father is not an official is not a nobleman, you can also go to college to see what to see after the college entrance examination scores, a trend is called, nothing more than exercise what is talent, there is a specialty is the comprehensive ability of talents, I don't examine it now, right?
Saying that your scores in several subjects are not enough to go to college, I don't consider the score of a certain subject, a certain ability, you can be qualified for a job, then you don't want to blame the bias of the subject to go to college to go to the specialty class, this is the trend of Cao Cao in Jian'an for 19 years, nothing more than exercise.
The third time, the third time, according to the 22 years when Cao Cao and Liu Bei had just fought a decisive battle in Yangping Pass, Cao Cao issued a famous quote for seeking immortals, what is it called, this time's famous saying, called the smear of virtue, conduct, this is simply I tell you bluntly It is outrageous When comparing morality and ability, you choose talents, give priority to ability, and people with moral defects don't matter.
The corresponding aftershocks, three times, the merit order, I believe that the corresponding see in 15 years, according to 19 years, according to 22 years 3 times sneakers and these three orders correspond to the Han Dynasty three changes in talent selection standards, which led to three major changes in the composition of officials.
The meritocracy order was issued in the 15th year of Jian'an, which is the result of the openness of the contradiction between Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian, or this time Cao Cao issued a meritocracy order, which is passive.
One is that many people are picking, and he has to worry about talents. This time, the result of the talent seeking order and the final summoning of talents, you see, is to see that Cao Cao was promoted as popular by these people in 18 years and 19 years of Jian'an.
Emperor Han Xian originally maintained a strong team of officials of Emperor Han Xian, but suddenly collapsed the trend that Cao Cao later released, which was nothing more than exercise.
The year this order was issued, he was the head of the official team of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Jian'an 19 years, looking for death. Jian'an's 15 years of meritocracy, so that opened a path towards the king of the era of the darkening, 19 years of trend, nothing more than a short order to open the real for the royal family, behind this is a great purge of the Han Dynasty officials, and finally the Han Xian Emperor's officials were finally replaced by Cao Cao's heart officials This is the thing behind the order and to Jian'an 22 years, this is Liu Bei under the banner of Fosun Khan, towards the banner right, do you understand Liu Bei and Cao Cao to compete for Hanzhong, what is behind this, behind this is the fight for the hearts of the people in the world, who is the Mandate of Heaven, and finally Liu Bei won。
Liu Bei occupied the upper reaches of Khan, and formed a two-sided attack on Xiangyang with Guan Yu in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Hefei, forming a three-sided attack on Cao Cao. Cao Cao's False Mandate of Heaven. Challenged by the True Mandate of Heaven, at this time, Cao Cao decided to make the last struggle to launch the last battle and who to fight with Emperor Han Xian and the vested interest groups behind Emperor Han Xian.
and the Battle of Manifest Destiny. Cao Cao represents the grassroots in the world to launch a counterattack and raise the virtuous. Wu drama, character. Actually, what we said about Cao Cao recruiting people as soon as he stopped, right, in fact, it was forced by the situation and the form that Cao Cao had to stop, why is it very difficult to keep power because it is very difficult to obtain power and maintain power.
It was the situation that forced Cao Cao to stop and resolve the internal contradictions. What is Cao Cao's solution to the internal contradictions, he is to recruit people who do not serve the world, this is the only rule for the grassroots to defeat the aristocracy.
With the expansion of the scope of the replacement of officials, in fact, the shortage of officials has not narrowed, but has become larger and larger. What corresponds to it is that Cao Cao's criteria for selecting people are constantly declining, from meritocracy to stealing is nothing more than a short time, and the misconduct of the virtuous, what is behind this?
Do you say that Cao Cao's moral level has declined because Cao Cao's moral level has declined? Cao Cao is getting worse and worse, is it not that Cao Cao's regime is becoming more and more urgent in demand for talent, why is there such urgency because there is a large loss of talent under the old system? Therefore, the struggle between Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of Han gradually became fierce.
As Cao Cao gradually gained the upper hand in this struggle, as the victory and defeat have been divided, the original supporters of Emperor Han Xian have gone to pick the pick, right, to do the soaring to do the world.
Cao Cao went from the original Ah I picked someone to use, and now I invite someone to use it to the end. Cao Cao became a begging person. On the surface, you see, this is a major reshuffle in society, which has made countless grassroots turn over, so that many people are enthusiastic when they hear that the only thing is to move. However, the problem is this, society can really withstand such a great change.
Cao Cao has a lot of people around him in the future, what kind of talent do you have, and even Cao Cao can almost do whatever he wants, and he no longer needs to be a sturgeon like a person like a sturgeon!
At that time, Cao Cao sent an empty bowl to the sturgeon and asked for the sturgeon's life. Cao Cao asked for this. Cao Cao asked for Xun Yu's name, and he asked for it, and defended the life of Emperor Han Xian's sturgeon with his life.
drove away, and the others won the final power struggle, relying on the power of the grassroots, but the question in the future is who will defend Cao Cao's country in the future?
After the operation, he was easily subverted by Sima is and Sima is, and fell into the battle of this, this, yes, and that. If someone is like a sturgeon, he will defend Emperor Han Xian with his life. Is there such a situation where people are in the foreign exchange market and then that?
Cao Cao couldn't complain about others, himself. Zheng Tuo's Jiangsu also destroyed the fence with his own hands, making the boundless power a kind of flooding, just like the Yellow River bursting its banks.
Do you remember, why did we give Cao Cao so much power in the first place, every Cao Cao has a beautiful dream, and the dream persuades us to give power to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can take us on a glorious shortcut.
Behind the right to not see is infinite power. The action is recommended to be successful. We did see three regulations in the end, but then on, who can take back this right or who will hand it back, you care, ask. Surrender, right. To whom it is returned.
We once lost control of our thoughts, and later caused such a cultural chaos as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and finally the cultural confusion, what we were given was turmoil, and what we were dressed for was that we were almost wiped out by foreign royal families.
What is the reason for all this? It is because of the three merit search orders. Let such a group of people come to the center of the political stage, they do not meet the original selection criteria this, the standard shopkeeper has said before, the three-character scripture is, the three-character classic on this standard of employment, China since ancient times The standard of employment has a very accurate comment, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, these five permanent can not be asked.
What does it mean, a talent is measured, its standard is five aspects: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, there is an order, benevolence and righteousness are the most important foundation, without benevolence, propriety, wisdom and faith are nonsense. Cao Cao's only thing is that the bureau listens well and is easy to use, but it doesn't work.
People are the most important, followed by 100 million, and then Li Zhixin is not a person who can do the work is a talent, there is no benevolence, the greater the Li Zhixin, the greater the harm, the greater the consciousness of the people, you don't talk about benevolence and righteousness, this person is a bad person, the smarter the bad person, the greater the harm to this society, right. Cao Cao enabled such a group of people and used them to realize the dreams in his heart. In fact, do you think this truth is complicated?
The question is, you, you, you say, I, I, I am a man, I am a man, I am in the direction of evil, is there such a person? In fact, there is no one who lives with subjective malice, there is no such thing, everyone lives with a kind of good intentions, but really this world has disagreements about many issues, what is right? What is the reason, is it that we are in front of nature, in front of the events we are facing, each of us is actually blind, feeling the elephant and peeping into the leopard. If you can admit your own insignificance, you really start to become great. But who of us would admit it. We ourselves are small. Like dust.
This new Confucianism was valued by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and in the Han Dynasty as the main theme of the country, the idea shined, and became the emperor's study to help the emperors of the Han Dynasty govern the world in the future, so that the people of the world can walk together, but this kind of thinking is the direction of the method, right?
However, some people don't want to think about what is the right thing to do with it? Defending the emperor is the result of the Han Dynasty's dedication to education for hundreds of years, and in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, we can see the heartfelt laughter of the so-called lieutenant colonel in people's minds. This long-term call became a habitual order, and people eventually became willing to defend the dignity of Emperor Han Xian at the cost of death, some people were to maintain their great nobles, but there were also people to maintain their own insignificance, that is, what was the education of those ministers?
In fact, people are like this, you will be happy and happy when you are satisfied. Will there still be people who will make trouble? Won't the country be stable? So Cao Cao's dream, do you understand? Cao Cao's dream, everyone understands, but the more people who have received traditional education, the more they do not accept this obvious fact, that is, it is better for the state to be handed over to the tide, and education makes us think that we have joined a group and the mainstream of the current society.
In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, and in May of the following year, Emperor Han Xian entered the peak, Cao Cao was the king, never justly defended the country, and the Han Dynasty was still there, however, it became the country of Wei, and Emperor Han Xian was still the spiritual leader of the country. In fact, the original Han Dynasty had become a part of the Wei state, and Cao Cao's status was understood.
It should be a jubilation, in Yecheng, right, the spring is the groundbreaking ceremony for the red representative of the Son of Heaven. This means that it means that the 22nd year of Jian'an is a new year, right? Cao Gong brought a complete and final peace to the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao presided over it. Spring, which is a symbolic meaning, is the advantage of peace. In the future, everyone will have such a symbolic meaning on schedule. Who brought us all this, it is the contemporary Zhou Gong Cao Cao, so this is both a kind of glory and a kind of power oath This spring, you can understand that there are two meanings first.
Cao Cao held such a national sacrifice on behalf of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, which was a gesture. After the second real country is now stable and the turmoil is over, let's work together to create a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Han Dynasty will be the center of greatness, and from then on, the Han Dynasty will enter a new era from the 22nd year of Jian'an. We're going to go all out for a recovery, and a great one has even begun.
Look at the emperor is the Han Xian Emperor. The so-called general in Japan before the era of the rivers and lakes in Japan was Cao Cao, Cao Cao went to the following local example, what Liu Bei and Sun Quan, in Japan, they are called Daimyo, right?
You see that there are a few things in the history books before, Cao Cao's rights are indeed very large, but these rights are operated on behalf of Emperor Han Xian, and now it is different, right, for you, the policy implemented for the red requires the authorization of the emperor, and these authorizations are temporary in the spring, you can go on my behalf, but, this year you go next year, whether I go depends on whether I am happy, yes, because I authorize, you have a lot of power for the red, but the need is one is one, and the authorization of the King of Wei is different, right, the emperor authorized Cao Cao once, and then it is his own country that makes himself say it, even if you read the book!
