Chapter 440 Yingchuan wise man Xun Kuang

Chapter 439: Xun Kuang, the wise man of Yingchuan

Deng Guo's imperial examination system was implemented under Deng Sheng's insistence, but the birth of the imperial examination system shocked the whole world, and the children from the poor family were all happy. In the past, if the children from the poor family wanted to become an official, they almost got Apart from the king's attention, the only way is to join the nobles of the family. This way, they can certainly get opportunities, but from now on, they are no longer free. Simply put, that is to trade freedom for future. Now that there is an imperial examination system, The humble family will have a bright future, and they no longer have to rely on others to live their lives.

However, the aristocrats of the aristocratic families felt panic about the birth of the imperial examination system. Except for the Wancheng aristocrats who were loyal to Deng Sheng, the other aristocrats of the aristocratic families all began to connect with each other, hoping to find a way to deal with the implementation of the imperial examination system.

Yingchuan County, Yangzhai City, Xun Mansion, the clan land of the Xun family of the Yingchuan family, Chen Geng, the head of the Chen family, came to the door and asked Xun Kuang, the head of the Xun family, about Yu Yunwen's appointment as Yingchuan prefect and the imperial court's implementation of the imperial examination system Views.

Ever since Deng Sheng purged the three major Nanyang families and brought down a large number of Nanyang families, the Yingchuan family has become the strongest family group in the Deng country. In the entire Deng country, except for the Nanyang family that is declining in the west, other noble families They are all outsiders, but whether it is the Jiangdong family, the Jingnan family, or the Jingbei family and the Shuzhong family, they have all experienced a bloody battle in the process of merging into Deng, and their own strength has been greatly weakened. , only the Yingchuan family, when Deng Guo destroyed Korea, the Yingchuan family sent Chen Qun out of the mountain to help Deng Guo stabilize the situation in Yingchuan, and thus got the post of prefect of Yingchuan, from Chen Qun to Xun Yu, the Yingchuan family He has controlled the entire Yingchuan County for 20 years, plus he has stood in Yingchuan County for hundreds of years, and Xun Kuang is not afraid of mere Yu Yunwen. As for the imperial examination system.

Xun Kuang sighed, and said: "Chen Xiandi, ever since the king vigorously promoted paper, you and I have thought that such a day will come, this is the general trend, the current king is an unborn hero, he has great ambitions, It is not comparable to the King of Han in the past. It is undeniable that the implementation of the imperial examination system will definitely pose a threat to our family, but since the king calls for the implementation of the imperial examination system at this time, it means that the king is not afraid of our family. Elite, Your Majesty does not need to be afraid of our family, the imperial examination system is imperative, and it is not something our family can stop!"

After being in Deng for many years, although Xun Kuang has never met Deng Sheng, but from what Deng Sheng has done in the past few years in power, it can be seen that Deng Sheng may not be the most capable king in the world, but he is indeed the most ambitious. It shows that Deng Sheng is dissatisfied with the aristocratic family's control of the officialdom, and now there are endless talented people from poor families. As early as 20 years ago, Xun Kuang thought that there would be such a day, so he was not surprised, and he also knew that as long as Deng Sheng There is absolutely no way for their aristocratic family to stop what they are determined to do.

"That being said, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Chen Geng said unwillingly: "I think my family has stood in the world for many years, and how many heroes have emerged during this period, all of them rely on our family to achieve supremacy. Now In a word, an imperial examination system allows us to hand over the power in our hands, how is that possible?"

"Then I don't know what Chen Xiandi plans to do?" Xun Kuang saw Chen Geng's unwillingness, and felt that Chen Geng must have plans, but he didn't know whether this would be good or bad for the Yingchuan family?
"Brother Xun knows me better than Brother Xun!" Seeing Xun Kuang, he immediately saw what he was thinking, and Chen Geng stopped concealing it, and said, "To tell you the truth, brother Yu intends to have a relationship with the head of the Zhang family in Jiangdong and Jingnan. The head of the Liu family joined hands to speak to the king on behalf of the family of the world, requesting that the imperial examination be revoked and the imperial examination system be abolished. After all, the world will still have to rely on us aristocrats of the family. Although the poor family has talents, they are a minority after all. The future still depends on our family. The Jiangdong family and the Jingnan family are the family groups in the entire Deng country, second only to the Yingchuan family, and the Zhang family and the Liu family are the leaders among them. Chen Geng intends to join forces with them to show off the muscles of the aristocratic family and let the persecuted Deng Sheng withdrew his order.

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Xun Kuang frowned immediately, and said, "If brother Chen Xian really said this, I can only say that the Chen family in Yingchuan is not far from the day of extinction!"

"Brother Xun, why would you say that?" Chen Geng was very puzzled. He joined forces with his family to force Deng Gong to be promoted. In Chen Geng's view, this was a very common thing. They also did this in the past. What about genocide?
Xun Kuang sighed, and said, "My dear brother, wouldn't he know that our aristocratic family would definitely oppose the implementation of the imperial examination system? But the king is still unmoved, which shows that the king is determined. How can it be changed by the previous means? Maybe the king is waiting for you to jump out, so that you can be wiped out, Chen Xiandi, don't make mistakes!" Xun Kuang saw it very clearly, Deng Shengming knew that the family would strongly oppose the imperial examination However, Deng Sheng still insisted on it, so how could it be possible for the aristocratic family to force the palace to change it? Maybe Deng Sheng just waited for the aristocratic family to jump out, so that they could clean up together.

"Brother Xun, what do you think should be done?" After hearing Xun Kuang's words, Chen Geng broke into a cold sweat. He had never thought of this. All made the aristocratic family successful, so Chen Geng planned to repeat the old trick this time, but he completely forgot that Deng Sheng was not a person who could be easily threatened. Thinking about how powerful the three major families in Nanyang were at the time, relying on the fact that their ancestors were Deng Guo The founding hero of the country is one and the same in the country of Deng. The founding king of the country of Deng, King Deng Xuan, also said that the three major families should not be punished unless they are a serious crime for the country, but now?The three major families have already been subdued by Deng Sheng, let alone outsiders like them.

Xun Kuang sighed and said: "Since you are here, let's settle down. Although the imperial examination system has had an impact on our family, it is still very limited at present. After all, the nobles of our family account for the majority of those who can pass the imperial examination. Besides, as long as the children of our clan have real talents and real learning, why should we be afraid of the mere imperial examinations? Those who should be in the top will eventually come out in the top. It's a good thing to say, so as not to bring disaster to the family in the future!" Xun Kuang thought very clearly, since he can't resist, then just accept it. Now among the poor families, capable people are still very limited. How could it be difficult to get elite children from aristocratic families with just one imperial examination?As for those who rely on the family to eat and wait to die, it is a blessing for the family not to come out, so as not to cause disaster to the family.

"But should we accept our fate like this?" Xun Kuang said it easily, but how could he be willing to let Chen Geng accept his fate like this?
Xun Kuang comforted Chen Geng and said, "My dear brother, the trend of the times cannot be changed by manpower. After all, this Deng country is the king's Deng country, not our family's. Fame and fortune are fleeting, power and wealth, and after a hundred years, it will not be transformed into an old man. Nothing? Power is something that you don’t bring with you when you’re born, and you don’t take it with you when you die. If it’s gone, it’s gone. There’s no pity. Only the inheritance of the family is the top priority. It's just a stepping stone for us!"

"Brother Xun is still open-minded, and there are not many foolish brothers. Listening to brother's words is better than reading ten years of books. I understand, my Yingchuan family will not participate in this matter. Anyway, there are Chen Qun, Xun Yu, and Xun You. We The Yingchuan family will not have any problems in a short period of time, as for the future, let’s talk about it in the future, I still don’t believe that the accumulation of our family for hundreds of years is not as good as a mere humble family!” Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to understand, the general trend Ah, it's not something they can change. Since they can't change it, then take the initiative to welcome in. The inheritance of the family for hundreds of years is not a vegetarian, it's just an exam, who is afraid of others!
Seeing that Chen Geng finally figured it out, Xun Kuang was very happy, smiled, and said, "It would be great if you can figure it out, brother. I have a hunch that Jiangdong and Jingnan will send people soon Those who came to look for Brother Xian, you don’t need to participate, you just need to tell them what Brother Wei said today, as for whether they listen or not, it’s not up to you and me!”
