The Nameless of the Common Clans

Zang Hong is a famous scholar in the world. Sometimes the status of this scholar cannot be measured by his official position. This is also Chen Mo's experience during this period. For example, when passing through Xiapi, Xuzhou Governor Zhu Bing personally greeted him and even sent an army of two hundred people. Escort Zang Hong to Langya.

Now Chen Mo also has some understanding of the officials of the Han Dynasty. In his opinion in the past, the county magistrate was already a powerful official. However, above the county magistrate, there are prefects of various counties. The governor does not have real power, but there are officials who supervise the prefectures and counties. And then there are officials at all levels in the prefecture. If it is calculated based on official titles alone, those people in the prefecture, even if they are just officials, are qualified to give advice to the county magistrates.

Of course, it depends on who you are. Because of the purchase of official positions, most of the officials in the Han Dynasty are close confidants of the eunuchs. However, when these people come over, people like Zang Hong usually have an attitude of not provoking but not paying attention. You listen to me. , No, I will just treat it as a fart. Even if those people have anger in their hearts, they don’t dare to let it out casually.

Firstly, these people are needed to govern the place. Secondly, most of these people are celebrities. If they are offended by trivial things, it is difficult for a foreign official to gain a foothold. Thirdly... celebrities generally have a wide network of friends, like Zang Hong, and Beihai Kong Rong. If you have good relations with famous people in Qingzhou, if you really offend him, the entire wealthy gentry family in Donglai will be able to trip you up. Therefore, although these bought eunuchs have power in name, in fact, they do not have much real power.

When the Taiping Rebellion broke out, many officials fled without hesitation. Many scholars from various places had to bear some responsibility. After all, it would not be easy to coordinate and manage if they stayed. On the contrary, they might lose their lives. Since things started in a hurry, most of them The local gentry was also unprepared. Once the county magistrate left, they were unable to muster force, and many were unlucky.

From this point of view, the Taiping Sect's previous overwhelming momentum felt like it had taken advantage of a loophole, but Chen Mo always felt that something was wrong. He couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.

Although the Taiping Sect is still raging now, judging from the situation in Xuzhou, it has obviously begun to stabilize, otherwise Zhu Bing would not have so many manpower to escort Zang Hong.

As for Chen Mo, because he was in a hurry, he would be called by the teacher to teach knowledge during the day, and then teach chess skills. In order to keep up with the teacher's pace, Chen Mo specially learned chess skills at the Dreamland Training Camp. Among his skills, he also learned one more Chess skills, and has reached level nine.

In Chen Mo's understanding, this should be the highest, but the fact is that in the process of playing chess with the teacher, he was still killed and abandoned his armor, and unlike the previous ignorance, in order to learn chess skills, he went to the Dreamland Training Camp After studying chess for nearly ten years, Chen Mo felt that he should have no less time to learn chess than his teacher, but he still couldn't compare, which made Chen Mo very frustrated.

"You kid, your chess skills have improved so quickly!" Compared to Chen Mo's disappointment, Zang Hong's mood can only be described as shock. A child who has just come into contact with chess, unexpectedly let him, who has been immersed in chess for many years, He had to face it, and he almost lost several times. This made Zang Hong surprised and a little unbelievable. Is there really someone who knows this in this world?

"But it's still not as good as the teacher." Chen Mo shook his head in disappointment.

Zang Hong: "..."

For no reason, he felt despised, but Zang Hong had to admit that in terms of chess skills alone, Chen Mo was not much different from himself. Looking at the lost disciple, Zang Hong adjusted his mentality and shook his head after thinking about it. Said: "In terms of chess skills alone, Mo'er is no less than a teacher."

"Then why..." Chen Mo looked at the chessboard and was in a daze. If it was almost the same, why did he always feel that he was clearly arranged? He knew that he would lose if he played like this, but he couldn't help but keep playing like this.

"The difference between you and my teacher is not here."

"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong in surprise.

"This game of chess is actually like a game between two armies. What is tested is not only the player's chess skills, but also the mentality, insights, and the layout of the entire chess game. Although you are talented, you have limited experience after all. As a teacher, you can do it with just a little temptation. Bring you into the game." Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile.

Having such a talented disciple is both a blessing and a misfortune for the teacher.

"Why did the teacher say it was like marching in formation?" Chen Mo asked puzzled.

"Everything in this world leads to the same destination through different paths. This chess game also pays attention to the art of war." Zang Hong said with a smile.

"The Art of War?" Chen Mo looked at the teacher in astonishment, why was there no teaching in this dream training camp?

"Actually, it's not just about the art of war. The culture of the Han Dynasty has been gradually integrated since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Qin Dynasty. As you learn more in the future, you will find that although the different cultures are contradictory, tracing back to their roots, they always have the same There are similarities, or in other words, so far, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, or even the Mohism that has disappeared, you cannot find any theory that can encompass all the principles of the world. What do our scholars want to do? Have you ever thought about it? "Yes?" Zang Hong looked at his disciple with a smile, as his disciple could always bring surprises to him.

"Inherit the learning of the sages and pass it on. In addition, reading and doing things can also make people understand things." Chen Mo thought carefully and expressed his knowledge. This is his current knowledge of knowledge. Of course, there are Some did not say that reading is also related to official career.

"That's one of them." Zang Hong breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. If his disciple knew everything, he wouldn't know what he should teach him.

Chen Mo quickly sat upright and looked at his teacher with bright eyes.

“Every theory has its merits. If you can create a theory and pass it down to this day, it must have its own merits. Of course, our generation of scholars must inherit the knowledge of our ancestors, but what is more important is to eliminate the waste and retain the essence. To constantly correct these errors in knowledge, we need to know that the sages are also human beings. People will always make mistakes. I just don’t know why. Nowadays, many people regard the words of the sages as the most truth. Even if they know they are wrong, they will not make mistakes. I wish to correct it, but it is extremely pedantic!" Zang Hong sighed a little at the end. He was not a radical person at all. When he entered Luoyang as a boy, he also went there with a desire to learn. However, in Luoyang, of course, Great Confucians were everywhere, but there was a trend of blind obedience. What the sages said was right, and what the great Confucians said was right. Although he had gained fame, Zang Hong always felt out of place in the atmosphere in Luoyang.

"It's better to have no books at all than to have no books at all?" Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Zang Hongdao.

"That's right." Zang Hong nodded. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to send Chen Mo directly to Luoyang to be a boy. If such a piece of rough jade enters Luoyang, it might become pedantic like those people. He laughed immediately. Tao said: " As for this chess skill, your chess skill is already extremely high. If you want to improve it, there is no need to study any more. Open your mind, learn more about other theories, and move around more. You have experienced a lot and seen a lot. You don’t need to explain your doubts today. You will understand."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher." Chen Mo thanked him.

"It's getting late, go back to your car and rest." Zang Hong waved his hand.

"Disciple, please leave." Chen Mo bowed and said goodbye.

"One more thing..." Zang Hong hesitated and called Chen Mo.

"Teacher, please give me your instructions."

"Juan'er will stay by your side to take care of your trivial matters from now on. However, you are getting older now. You should not rush into certain things, lest you delay your studies."

"What's the matter?" Chen Mo asked confused.

"This... thing between men and women." Zang Hong was a little embarrassed. This kind of tenderness can destroy people's will. In addition, Chen Mo is young. If he doesn't lead him, if he gets a taste of it in the future, Zang Hong is not willing to fall into it. Seen.

? ? ?

Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong in confusion, so...what is going on?

"Go on, go on." Zang Hong didn't know how to explain it for a while, and waved his hand helplessly: "In short, go to bed early at night and don't do anything else."

Chen Mo nodded with a puzzled look on his face, said goodbye and got out of the car, and took a deep breath of fresh air. Chen Mo put the matter behind him for the time being and asked Juan'er later. She might know...
