[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

——Yan Zi has no, but Xun Yu is the only one who can prepare the nine virtues. 【1】

Yuan Huan was afraid that Xun Yu, a gentleman like Xun Yu who established virtue with benevolence, promoted virtuous men with magnanimity, did nothing flattery, and was able to respond to opportunities, would follow the old path recorded in history books. Still chose the safest one.

As long as Xun Yu can figure it out, no matter how much money and food is spent, it will be worth it.

In history, Boss Cao was able to unify the north and Sun Liu formed a tripartite confrontation. Xun Yu contributed a lot. It was because of Xun Yu who stayed in the rear for a long time that Cao Cao was able to move to the Quartet without any worries.

Runan, Yingchuan, and Nanyang are the reserves of almost all the talents and advisers in the Han Dynasty. Xun Yu was born in a famous family and was hailed by He Yong as "the talent of Wang Zuo" when he was young. Cao Cao, it can be said that the eyeballs of a group of people were shocked.

As far as Cao Cao is concerned, without Xun Yu, there probably would not be the Duke Cao who ruled the north later on. The two of them are also teachers and friends. Boss Cao has a lot of advisers. Counting down, the most important ones are almost all recommended by Xun Yu. come.

Xun You, Xun Gongda, who is known as the mastermind, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, who is full of tricks, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, who is well-governed, and Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang, who are among the three princes, all have a close relationship with Xun Yu.

When Cao Cao was young, he determined to help the great man and serve the country with his own body. Xun Yu valued him for this. The court was dark and the emperor was stupid. Inseparable from his figure.

After Cao Cao unified the north, he said that the order of the world is determined by the merits of Yu.

Xun Yu can also afford such praise. Without Xun Yu's perseverance, Cao Cao would have no place to stay when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou to avenge his father, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong in Yanzhou almost rebelled in the whole state.

Wang Zuozhi's talent, the premise is that there must be a king who can assist.

The world is impermanent, after many years of fighting, Cao Cao, who took it as his mission to help the Han Dynasty, changed his ambition, but Xun Yu, who took benevolence and justice as his principle of conduct, did not change.

——Ben Xingyi soldiers, Kuang Chao Ningguo, uphold loyalty and sincerity, keep the reality of retreat.It is not appropriate for a gentleman to love others with virtue. 【2】

The monarch and his ministers supported each other for more than 20 years. He followed Cao Cao through life and death, but died in depression when Cao Cao was about to join Wei Gong and Jia Jiuxi. The two suffered together for dozens of years. In the end, they forced themselves to the point of dying .

Xun Yu is dedicated to helping the world, and basically everything he does is from the standpoint of the common people. Cao Cao refuses to listen to persuasion, and Xun Yu is stubborn. Neither of them is willing to back down. It is inevitable that they will go to that step.

Yuan Huan sighed lightly, if Xun Jiawen is a gentle gentleman with the world at heart, he was born in troubled times, the people are in trouble, he does not use his talents as a model, and his planning does not take meritorious service. Someone is not good for Cao Cao. In the Han Dynasty, he couldn't watch the lord who had assisted for many years be accused of treason.

The situation is becoming more and more chaotic. The Chang'an court has no intention of helping the world and the people. Rather than helping the Han family, they had better stand on the side of the people. After all, looking at the current situation, helping the Han family and saving the world and helping the people are already opposites.

Fortunately, the results are good, and now you can rest assured to celebrate the new year.

Yuan Huan shakes the warm cup, looks at Guo Jia's frantic jumping with a leisurely look, his gentle gaze seems to be able to tolerate everything, and his smile is more like the warm sun in spring, subconsciously calming the mood of the people around him.

Guo Jia has seen through the bad taste of these two people. He consults with him when there is something to do, and makes fun of him when there is nothing to do. Does Guo Fengxiao not want to lose face?

Whoever loves to be treated in this study, he will not accompany him anymore.

Guo Guicai went out angrily, he couldn't be provoked and could hide, and he didn't have his wine in the study, so he wanted to go back to find his five altars of fine wine.

A whole five altars!

Without Guo Jia's active atmosphere, there were only two people left in the study, and they quickly quieted down.

Xun Yu withdrew his smile, walked up to their lord, and bowed solemnly, "You closed your eyes and listened, followed the old ways, and never noticed the painstaking efforts of the lord. Now the courtesy is broken, and the court is full of people who are like dogs and dogs. The lord has the heart and mind." Helping the common people should not be trapped by those who fight for power and profit."

"Wen Ruo's words are heavy, if there is no Wen Ruo to help each other, how can there be peace in the house, don't think too much." Yuan Huan stepped forward to help him up, and replied with a smile, "The Guanzhong is in trouble, the people are innocent, and the food and grass are sent to In Chang'an, with Yang Sikong and others working hard, it is worthwhile to send half of them to the people, Wen Ruo's ability to manage politics is rarely comparable, and we will be busy when we go to Yecheng in the spring of next year."

The farm is comfortable, but it is not a place to stay for a long time. Yecheng is the seat of Wei County. It is located [-] miles northeast of Luoyang, bordering the Zhang River in the north, Qi River in the south, Huan River in the middle, and Taihang Mountain in the west.

The ancestors first built the city of Ye to defend Zhu Xia, but it was barbarian invasion. Looking at it now, it is not far from Luoyang, the eastern capital. This city was successively used as headquarters by Han Fu and Yuan Shao. It took them time to rebuild the new city. It is better to continue to use Yecheng as the base camp.

Even if you want to serve the emperor to beg for disobedience, you must first have a good place to welcome the emperor.

Now that Wang Yun is in power in the imperial court, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi and other veterans are guarding the little emperor. When they ushered in the Son of Heaven.

There won't be much time left for them. Before that, all they have to do is appease the people to resume production.

The two chatted in the room for a while, then Xun Yu rallied and went to the government hall to reject the court's unreasonable request, and by the way, started to make arrangements for going to Yecheng next year. The distance between Zhongshan Kingdom and Wei County is not too close, and the government affairs were sent from Yecheng It is very troublesome, and it will save a lot of time when I arrive in Yecheng next spring and then deal with official business.

After Xun Yu left, Yuan Huan returned to the desk and continued to write letters, but this time his expression was obviously brighter, and it could be seen from the written words that he was in a good mood.

There is an old saying that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. 【3】

In front of the common people, the emperor should take the back seat. Now talk to Xun Yu, and then you don't have to tie your hands and feet. After all, for Xun Wenruo, helping the Han family is far less important than saving the people.

In other words, for all aristocratic families with great ambitions, Kuangfu Han Dynasty is like a joke. Two consecutive disasters caused by the party and the scholar class were attacked. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that not many people are still loyal to the emperor. idea.

It is said that Xun Yu used his life to prevent Cao Cao from usurping the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, but he felt that this was not the case. At that time, Boss Cao and Jiuxi really acted too hastily. If the two of them could calm down and have a heart-to-heart talk, things might not change. into that.

——At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats paid more attention to festivals and did not follow the right path. 【4】

In the two disasters of the party's ban, almost all the scholar class was cleared out of the court. The fact that the Yuan family in Runan was able to go the other way and reach its peak during the reign of Emperor Huanling was inseparable from the disaster of the party's ban.

The so-called disaster of party imprisonment is named after eunuchs imprisoning scholars for life on the charge of "party members".

During the reign of Emperor Huanling, scholar-bureaucrats and foreign relatives were dissatisfied with the phenomenon of eunuchs' chaotic government, and united to fight against the eunuchs. The two struggles ended in the failure of the scholar-official group.

In the two disasters of party imprisonment, almost none of the aristocratic families and celebrities were spared. They were either imprisoned or kept incognito. Dou Wu, Chen Fan and other top officials died tragically, and their in-laws were even exterminated.

The first scourge of party imprisonment was already very tragic, and no one expected that it would usher in an even more tragic second time during the Xiping period.

Emperor Ling issued an edict that all party members, disciples, former officials, fathers and sons, and brothers who are officials, will be dismissed, imprisoned for life, and implicated in the five clans. 【5】

The aristocratic families and Qingliu celebrities were greatly injured by this catastrophe, and those who survived rarely set foot in the court again. Scholars were hit one after another, and no one knew how much loyalty to the emperor would be left behind.

The Yuan family in Runan, as a representative of the Kanto family, did not retreat but advanced during the two disasters of party imprisonment, not because of anything else, but because they had their own people in the eunuch group.

It's not that the Yuan family has children who did not hesitate to enter the palace in order to protect the family. They are also a serious family. Yuan Anwoxue has a noble character. the point.

How that member of the eunuch group got here has a lot to do with the original owner's uncle, Yuan Wei.

Yuan Huan quickly finished writing the letter, dried the ink and put it in a cloth bag, and asked people to send the letter to Nanyang as soon as possible, and then went to the wing room to watch the little ones read.

Ever since Emperor Huan killed his relative, Liang Ji, the aristocratic family has become the emperor's thorn in the flesh. There is no examination for the selection of officials by the imperial court, but elections. As long as the virtues can convince the public, they can be elected to the imperial court as officials.

At the beginning, the recommendation system could send talents to the imperial court, but gradually this system changed its taste and became a means for the aristocratic family to cultivate cronies.

The name of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family in Runan is famous. In fact, it is not only the Yuan family. There are not a few families with three generations in the family. It is just that most of those families have escaped from the world after the disaster of the party. Only the Yuan family is still beautiful.

——Benevolent love accommodates the public, and there is no choice; when guests enter the door, everyone, no matter the virtuous or foolish, gets what they want, and is the home of the world. 【6】

Just this sentence can tell that the officials of the imperial court are all from the aristocratic family, and the in-laws, teachers and friends of the aristocratic clan are inextricably linked. The reason why the emperor wants to use the hands of eunuchs to suppress the family and relatives.

The aristocratic family and the eunuch are originally opposites, but there are no absolutes, and not all eunuchs hold grudges against the aristocratic family. During Emperor Huan's time, Yuan She, the constant servant, held the power and won the emperor's trust. The Yuan family is also surnamed Yuan, and I can't write two characters of Yuan in one stroke. It's boring to pinch each other, and the combination of strong and powerful is serious.

Eunuchs are in power, and most of the aristocratic families targeted by eunuchs are wives and children who have broken up and died. They have the emperor as their backing, and no one can control them no matter how arrogant and domineering they are.

Yuan She took the initiative to show his favor, but Yuan Feng, who was the head of the Yuan family at that time, did not respond, but Yuan Kui hit it off with him, and Yuan Kai made a change in the Yuan family. He was singled out from the strike list.

There was Yuan She, the permanent servant of the middle school, who listened to the emperor. Yuan Kai had become a Sangong early on, but the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan was not very good at that time.

All the families in the world are fighting to the death with the eunuchs, your Yuan family is a family in the Central Plains, but you turned around and ran to the eunuchs, are you worthy of your noble and proud ancestors?

The fierce scolding did not prevent the Yuan family from taking this opportunity to improve. For the aristocratic family, the survival of the family is more important than anything else. The conduct is beyond reproach.

The genealogy is in the hands of the patriarch, and without the consent of the original owner's father, no matter how willing Yuan Kai was to hook up with the eunuch, Yuan She's name would not be included in the Yuan family tree.

During the Huanling period, too many famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty were persecuted, and almost none of those with strong temperaments were spared.

In order to protect themselves, the big families are willing to make friends with eunuchs. Not only the Yuan family in Runan, but also the Xun family in Yingchuan. Be wise and protect yourself.

For them, protecting the family is the most important thing. If the family is gone, no matter how good the reputation is, it is useless.

——When the ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, the ministers regard the ruler as his heart; 【7】

The aristocratic family suffered heavy losses in the two disasters of party imprisonment. Even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion arose later, the Ling Emperor feared that the party members and the Yellow Turban would rebel together and pardoned the world. There are not many of them.

Especially the older generation of celebrities who have personally experienced the scourge of the party, are pushing the Han Dynasty to a dead end, either explicitly or secretly.

The emperor can suppress the aristocratic family to death when he is free, and wants them to serve the court when he is busy. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

Leaving aside the distant ones, let's just talk about Xun Yu's sixth uncle, Yuan Jing's grandfather, the big man Sikong Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming, who lived in Han Bin for more than ten years to avoid the second party imprisonment, and was later captured by Dong Zhuo. The books written by the masters of Confucianism who were forcibly conscripted into Beijing also contained some signs of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.

Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. Dong Zhongshu created a divine right of the king, and the emperor was ordered on behalf of the sky, and there was a "heaven" above him that could overwhelm the emperor.

The emperor has no way, and the common people have no way to fight against the emperor, but the heaven above his head can justifiably teach this unfilial son a lesson.

Dong Zhongshu proposed that the emperor was ordered on behalf of the heavens. Confucian scholars and bureaucrats had the final say on how to explain this so-called "heaven". It doesn't matter whether the man who takes the place of heaven is a big man or not.

Under the corridor, a young man wearing a thick cloak walked slowly among them, and his slow steps were particularly pleasing to the eye.

Yuan Huan is not worried about the future, and now he is doing the ideological work of Tong Xunyu, and he is not too worried about the present. After all, after two tragic disasters of party imprisonment, scholars do not follow the righteous way to protect themselves and save the world. The emperor can't be benevolent , should abdicate to let the virtuous.

It needs to be explained that this is not what he said, but what the Confucian scholars of the past dynasties said. Since Confucianism is the only respected in the world, the status of Confucian scholars has been greatly improved. Once the emperor is unpopular, some Confucian scholars will write to the emperor to abdicate.

From the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to Emperor Zhao of the Han, Emperor Xuan of the Han, Emperor Ai of the Han... Almost all the emperors of the Han Dynasty received letters urging them to abdicate. Unable to bear the pressure, Wang Mang, a model of Confucian scholars, could only be pushed to the throne of God in the end.

If Wang Mang didn't do so many show operations in the later period, but tried to solve the court's malpractices and social conflicts at that time, no one can say whether Emperor Guangwu could succeed in ascending the throne later.

Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu was not very friendly to Confucian scholars of the aristocratic family. After all, Wang Mang, who was elected by the scholars of the world, just came out. No emperor would like to hang a knife on his head all the time.

Therefore, after Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the theory of prophecy quickly rose up, deified the imperial power of the surname Liu, developed Confucianism into Confucianism, worshiped Confucius as the leader, and did not give Confucian scholars the opportunity to explain the will of heaven, so as to cut off scholars who used the will of heaven to overthrow the emperor possible.

The imperial court became the world of foreign relatives and eunuchs, and the scholars were suppressed and could not hold their heads up. After finally getting up for a while, they caught up with the disaster of the party's imprisonment. This is no one's luck.

The original owner married Xun Shuang's daughter, and she is very familiar with Xun Shuang's theory. Shi's attitude was not too cryptic. As Xun Shuang's nephew, it was impossible for Xun Yu to be ignorant of his uncle's theory.

So he always felt that it was a bit strange that the Xun family had such an upright gentleman as Xun Yu who took it as his own responsibility to help the Han family.

Or, as he thought before, what Xun Yu stopped Cao Cao from adding Jiuxi, what he stopped was Cao Cao's hasty addition of Jiuxi.

When the time was pushed back to the Kanto Alliance, it was not a secret that Yuan Shao and Han Fu negotiated to appoint Liu Yu as the new emperor. If Liu Yu did not want to be the emperor, the world would be Chang'an with the young emperor Youzhou and the new emperor. A situation where two emperors coexist.

From the matter of supporting Liu Yu as the new king, it can be seen that not only Yuan Shao, but other Mushou in the world did not pay much attention to the emperor. The Han Dynasty has respect, but it will not respect to the point of defending the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty with their lives.

It's just that hastily revealing your thoughts is easy to fall into the truth. Rather than being attacked by the people of the world, it is better to plan it slowly.

Of course, if the imperial court has gone too far, making everyone in the world feel that they are victims and resisting the imperial court is a last resort, then the situation will be different.

The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, except for Guanzhong, are all out of the control of the imperial court. Some states and counties are patient and do enough face-saving work. They are willing to show up to the court when they are appointed to official positions. Already the local emperor.

No other place is willing to obey, only the Jizhou Yizhou court wants what it gives, not to mention that others think Wang Situ's face and face are disgusting when he pulls a sheep hard, he himself thinks they are being taken advantage of.

The docile little sheep has been bullied terribly, and they don't want to be bullied anymore. When the court wants to squeeze the wool, they refuse. No matter how they look at it, they are the reasonable party.

No matter what, as long as they firmly occupy the high ground of morality, they will not fall behind when they write proclamations and start a war. Warm and hardworking, is the court willing? 【8】

Who said that the princes and the court must be labeled as treason, but he wanted to make everyone in the world think that he was the rightful party.

The author has something to say: Yuan *Xiaobaihua* Huan: Innocent.jpg
