Xun Shuang looked at the person who spoke, who was also his nephew, Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, who had just fled back to his hometown from Luoyang.

Xun Yu is the son of Xun Qi, the second dragon among the eight dragons.

Xun Yu had previously been promoted as filial piety and served as the palace order, after the eunuchs of Luoyang died and He Jin died, he felt that there would inevitably be a huge change in Luoyang City...... Therefore, in order to leave a useful body, he abandoned his official position and returned to Yingchuan.

Now when he heard that Dong Zhuo recruited Xun Shuang, and Xun Shuang asked the Xun family's sons and nephews where he should go, Xun Yu couldn't help but say his thoughts.

I have to say that his idea is still very non-mainstream.

At least in the Xun family, it is indeed non-mainstream.

Although the Xun family takes courtesy, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety as the basic principles of life, and is a supporter of "divine authority of the monarch", this does not mean that the interests of the Xun family are on the same front as the Han family.

They agree with the "divine right of the king" and absolutely support the fact that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is the lord of the world.

But they also believe that it should be the Shi clan who governs the world, a Shilin family like their Xun family, and the emperor can be the co-lord of the world, but there is no need to be in full power.

The lord of the world delegates power to the nobles, and this is what the lord of the world should do.

Those Han clan relatives who helped the Han Emperor seize power are all scum in their eyes.

The Xun family is the head of the Yingchuan Shi clan, and the Yingchuan Shi clan is almost among the best in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, and the family with the deepest intersection of interests with the Yingchuan Shi clan is undoubtedly the Runan Yuan clan.

Or it can be said that the interests of the Yuan clan in Runan and all the scholars in Yuzhou are very intertwined.

The name of the Han clan is okay to bluff others, but in Yingchuan, where the relationship between the scholars and clans is intertwined, the Han clan is bullshit.

The Son of Heaven is the co-master...... But what is a clan? We don't recognize it!

What Xianbei crusade, what Yellow Turban to suppress the rebellion, what the emperor's uncle of the Son of Heaven, in the eyes of the Yingchuan scholars, is meaningless at all...... Not to mention the Xun family.

The clan that the Son of Heaven used to rob the power of the scholars...... Why does Wen Ruo also eat this set?

The faces of all the Xun nephews showed doubts, and they were very scoffing at Xun Yu's thoughts.

However, everyone's self-cultivation is here, but no one directly refutes it.

Xun Shuang looked at Xun Yu with a smile and did not refute his remarks.

Then I saw Xun Shuang say to everyone: "Today's right is here, and you will think about it separately when you go back, how should our Xun family go in the future?" ”

"I give you two days, all carefully pondered, the world is different from the original, it's time for you to think of a way, how many years can I live? If I make a mistake, it won't affect much, but it will affect you the most. ”

"Let's think about it."

A group of Xun family nephews stood up and saluted.

Subsequently, Xun Shuang arranged for each of them to live in his own house.

………

That night, Xun Shuang called Xun Yu to his study.

In the study, an oil lamp was faintly lit, and Xun Shuang and Xun Yu's uncle and nephew sat opposite each other.

saw Xun Shuang brushing his gray beard and asked, "Wen Ruo, why did you mention Liu Deran today?" Would you like to tell me more about it? ”

Xun Yu immediately said: "Uncle, you know, my situation is different from that of your brothers and nephews, and what I see and hear is also different. ”

Xun Shuang smiled: "Then tell me about the different things you see." ”

Xun Yu sighed: "Uncle, the situation in the court in the past was complicated, although our Xun family is the gate of Yingchuan Qingliu, but it is inevitable that we will also have contact with the eunuchs because of the consideration of the Son of Heaven, and in this generation, the person who is close to the eunuchs is me." ”

The Xun family is a big family in Yingchuan, although it is nominally the gate of the clear stream, but for the prosperity of the family, every person in each generation, in addition to raising hope, everyone has their own interpersonal relationship tasks that should be fulfilled for the family.

For example, Xun Yu's grandfather Xun Shu, when he was alive, he had a heart-to-heart friendship with Yuan Feng to consolidate the influence of the Xun family in Ruying.

And Xun Yu's father, Xun Qi, became a son and daughter of Tang Heng when he was alive, and Xun Yu's wife was Tang Heng's stepdaughter.

In other words, Xun Yu and Xun Qi father and son belong to the "scholars who are attached to the eunuchs".

Under normal circumstances, this kind of scholar clan will be looked down upon by Qingliu, but it generally depends on the influence of his family in Shilin, and the family with little influence is easy to be suppressed by public opinion and cannot raise his head in Shilin.

But a family like the Xun family will not be knocked down by this situation, but will gain more political resources because of their interactions with eunuchs.

Especially since Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, the title of eunuch can be inherited by the adopted son, and even the situation of "the father is the eunuch and the son is the minister", which is that they are no different from ordinary scholars, which further blurs the relationship between the eunuch family and the ordinary scholar family.

In fact, after the first disaster of the party, among the Ruyingmen valves, there were many big clans who secretly defected and merged with the eunuchs, but they always maintained an unyielding look on their faces.

is similar to Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Yu, who was also attached to the eunuchs, but who in the Yingchuan clan dares to say that he is a scum?

Whether he is a traitor or not depends on the dishes of the people.

Xun Yu's father, Xun Qi, served as the minister of Jinan, which was often held by close figures of the Eastern Han Dynasty eunuchs, and Cao Cao in history also took this position.

And because of the fact that they are more or less close to the eunuch group, Xun Yu took refuge in Cao Cao after Yuan Shao did not go well in history, and he didn't consider others.

Because Xun Yu and Cao Cao have what they have in common.

At the same time, this is also an indirect reason why Xun Yu immediately resigned from his official position and returned to Yingchuan after the general He Jin and the eunuchs died together...... The backer in Luoyang is gone.

At that moment, I heard Xun Yu say to Xun Shuang: "Because of my father-in-law, the people my nephew makes friends with on weekdays are somewhat different from my brothers, and some of the people I make friends with are people they disdain to befriend...... Among them, there is a hero. ”

"Who?"

"Cao Cao."

Xun Shuang nodded slowly, and said: "I know this person, I heard that when Yuan Shao ran for the people in the party in the past, this person and Nanyang Xu Yu were Yuan Shao's right-hand man, and what this person did was mostly praised by the party heroes." ”

Xun Yu said: "That's right, my nephew is in Luoyang, he keeps to himself, and he doesn't easily intersect with people, because he is also a relative of the eunuch, so he has some intersection with Cao Cao, although Cao Cao is a eunuch, but he is quick to think, ambitious, extremely accurate, and heroic." ”

Xun Shuang knows his nephew very well, Xun Yu generally does not praise someone easily, this Cao Cao is a real eunuch, but he can still get such a high evaluation from Xun Yu, I think it should not be a simple character.

"Go on."

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "My nephew admires Cao Cao a lot, and Cao Cao also admires my nephew, so the two of us have a lot of exchanges on weekdays, especially for the younger generation of people in Beijing, and there are many evaluations, including the Yuan family." ”

"Oh?"

Xun Shuang seemed to be quite interested when he heard this: "Let's talk about it, what do you say about the daily communication between you and Cao Cao?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Others don't say it for the time being, let's just say that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the two brothers of Yuan Shu, judging from the behavior of their two brothers on weekdays, that Yuan Shu is known as the drought ghost in the land, although he was born in a prestigious family, he has an arrogant temperament, is extravagant, and is not the master of chaos. ”

Xun Shuang nodded: "Go on." ”

Xun Yu said again: "As for Yuan Shao, because he is close friends with Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde doesn't comment much on him on weekdays, but because Cao Cao has been messing with him all the year round, he also has a lot of daily things to say to me, so I also know a little bit about this Yuan Shao......

Xun Shuang said: "In your opinion, Shao, what kind of person? ”

"With great ambitions, good intentions, and great ambitions."

Xun Shuang smiled when he heard this: "Wouldn't this be good?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Although this person has ambition, in my opinion, this person sits on the price of the dead, so as to raise the dead, and his heart is to seize profits, and he is a person who causes chaos." ”

"If it is just chaos, this person is indecisive at a critical moment, has the ability to create chaos, but has no power to calm the knife and axe!"

"Uncle, forgive my nephew for being blunt, the one who messes with the world may not be Dong Zhuo...... Maybe it's Yuan Shaoye. ”

Xun Shuang was thoughtful when he heard this.

"Then in your opinion, if Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao are the people who are in turmoil in the world, who are these people who have the power to calm the world?"

Xun Yu said lightly: "My nephew is not completely sure, but perhaps, someone who has this power...... It's the defender of Yecheng that I just mentioned. ”

"Why? That's what Cao Cao said? ”

"That's what he said, but not quite directly."
