In fact, he already knew that he was doing useless work.
Huangfu Song was such a person who strictly abided by the imperial court's operating procedures.
When there is an edict, he will send out troops and do his best to fight a good war.
Without an edict, even if you have the most elite Northern Army in your hands, you will not use them to do anything more.
He is Huangfu Song, a rare classic professional officer in ancient dynasties.
He never relies on the military power in his hands to send troops to do things on his own. He only looks at things like edicts, seals, tiger talismans, and angels.
No matter who is in power, no matter whether it is good or bad, if you issue an edict through the Secretary of State, I will send troops.
His character is destined to rise in troubled times.
Just like when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, some people advised Huangfu Song to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Dong Zhuo.
As a result, Huangfu Song refused and went to Luoyang alone under the imperial edict.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo used an edict to relieve him of military power, and he was immediately imprisoned and almost killed. Fortunately, he had a son to intercede.
If this matter were placed on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there would definitely be two outcomes.
As a result, a very strange scene occurred in the land of Jizhou.
Apparently I heard that Rensheng was there to cultivate land and prepare for war, and to recruit brave soldiers.
Huangfu Song just wrote a letter, firstly, that Jizhou was in ruins and asked for a tax exemption for one year, and secondly, he said that the Taihang Mountain people might cause rebellion.
But he just didn't take the initiative to send troops, he just had to wait for the imperial edict.
His counter-rebellion army, more than 30,000 elite soldiers, was stationed somewhere east of Taihang, but it happened to be indifferent.
Huangfusong's movements were naturally noticed by Wen Rensheng, who was reported three times a day.
On this day, he preached to the students: "If you are a general like Huangfu Yizhen, even if you change the king every ten years, there will be no bloodshed."
All the students nodded.
Wen Rensheng spoke again: "Can any of you analyze Huangfu Song's true psychology and his personal character? Only after analyzing this can we cultivate such talents in a targeted manner."
At this time, Xun Chen said: "Actually, Huangfu Song is good at protecting himself wisely, but in today's troubled times, he still has the same ideas as before."
"He only knows that as long as he follows the rules of the court, no one will have a personal enmity with him. He only knows that as long as he follows the rules, he will have a place for anyone who comes to power."
"Many people with military power in the past, such as Zhou Yafu and Huo Guang, were defeated by this. I think he must be very wary of this."
"No, I agree with everything else you said. Just say that Huangfu Yizhen is wise enough to protect himself. He has also written to the emperor many times to open the ban and impeach eunuchs for illegal activities. This has offended many people. He just did what he should do.
He will try his best to do things that are within his responsibilities. Even if he has the ability to do things outside of his responsibilities, he will not do them, such as sending troops privately." Xun You shook his head.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
In fact, his school system was designed to cultivate a large number of people like Huangfu Song.
You don't have to worry about how the court changes, as long as you do your job well, do it step by step, and finally get a result.
If something goes wrong, just deal with it according to the rules.
If everyone is like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, who has military power and wants to interfere with the monarch's choices, the world will never be stable.
He admired Huangfu Song very much.
Only people with this philosophy can change the situation of the country being ruled by warriors, and will not lead to the disgrace of Jingkang.
Of course, Huangfusong didn't know that by doing so, he saved his own life.
If he really dares to attack, he will soon understand what crushing means.
He knew very little about Taihang Mountain, but Wen Rensheng knew him from beginning to end.
At this time, everyone was also thinking about how to train talents like Huangfu Song in batches.
After all, Huangfusong may be an exception, and what they need to do is to use a system to train these people in batches.
Soon Guo Jiadao said: "Master, it is impossible for us to cultivate a Huangfu Song, but we can train three people to form a Huangfu Song."
"Disperse the power of affairs, finance, training and deployment of troops, so that unless three people rebel at the same time, it will be impossible to rebel."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
In the Qin society, it was difficult for losers in the court to have any other destination than death (or life-long house arrest).
He wants to change this.
Only then can participants give up the motivation to use force to participate in the competition.
Just like Cao Shuang, he believed Sima Yi's Luoshui oath and would treat him like a wealthy man, and then gave up the use of force to fight.
As a result, Sima Yi did not consider himself a human son, and directly broke his oath and killed Cao Shuang's clan.
Therefore, several important ministers who served as guarantors were so ashamed that they committed suicide.
Sima Yi was so evil that he became so vicious that everyone in the court fought to the death.
This is also the disadvantage of a place to raise voodoos: there is no place to go, so you can only fight in a bottle. I will feel most at ease when you are dead.
If you are exiled outside, you won't have to worry so much.
"As a result, the efficiency will be horribly low. Every time we march and fight, we have to ask for food and fodder, and have to deal with logistics and personnel. It is not suitable for this troubled world." Xun Chen shook his head.
Wen Rensheng also smiled.
What they said was very good, but they forgot one thing.
The most important thing is to open up the people's intelligence so that the soldiers are literate and understand what they are fighting for.
In this case, when the rebellious ministers and traitors seek the throne, no matter how many confidants he recruits, the most core and most basic soldiers do not believe his words and are unwilling to take action, it is difficult for him to succeed.
This is the basis of everything.
Why did those with military power rebel more often in feudal society, but less so in modern times?
Because in feudal society, the top soldiers obeyed whoever gave them food. Many people only knew that they were going to rebel when they reached the imperial city, and then they were frightened.
But now that we have come, we can only continue to rebel.
It's different in modern times. Every soldier is literate and can understand the current big situation.
Although they may not understand too many strategies and tactics, they at least know that they cannot interfere in the selection of the king.
Once the concept of shared consciousness is established from top to bottom, everything will be easier to do.

at the same time.
Lu Zhi, who failed to persuade Huangfu Song, left the army with his disciples in an ox cart.
In fact, he was originally imprisoned because he offended the eunuchs during the attack on the Yellow Turbans. However, because Wenren was promoted to a new army, he did not have this fate. However, he also lost his military power and was demoted to a commoner.
There was another thing he didn't tell Huangfu Song, that is, he actually felt that the Taihang Mountain people's approach might solve the real problems of the Han Dynasty.
The friendship between Huangfu Song and him was very good, or Huangfu Song was a very upright man. After pacifying the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, he said that all the credit was due to him.
This was a military achievement. It was too late for others to snatch it, so Huangfu Song gave it away directly.
This allowed Lu Zhi in history to be reinstated as an official.
If Huangfu Song really wanted to send troops to fight, he felt that the opponent might not be able to win.
He thought for a while and instead of returning to his hometown, he walked towards Taihang Mountain.
Know your enemy and yourself.
Only by knowing what is going on can you take action.
He only learned from the mouths of businessmen and scholars that the Taihang Mountain people advocated: "You let the people choose."
This is clearly a rebellion.
Of course, in the late Han Dynasty, there were countless nobles and powerful people who wanted to replace the emperor.
There was Huo Guang before.
Later there were Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao.
This is all obvious.
In comparison, the words of the Taihang Mountain people are just a step further.
"How can we ensure that a wise king can be selected? Can the matter be solved by just one wise king?"
After thinking of this, Lu Zhi, who was in his forties, came to the Taihang Mountains with full loyalty to the Han Dynasty and sorrow.
He was born in 139 and died in 192. Now it is 185. Naturally, he does not know that he has only a few years to live.
He used to be disappointed and confused, and just wanted to go into seclusion. Now that he has Taihang Mountain people, he wants to fight for another 20 years.
When he and his disciples drove an ox cart to the mountains, they were told that they were here to listen to lectures. They were registered step by step on the other side and given food books.
"This is for temporary use. If you settle down, it will be given to you permanently. This is a basic food subsidy for listening to lectures. It does not cost money, but it requires assessment. If you pass the assessment three times, you will have to spend money to buy it." The registration officer said.
This is new.
As the food supply increased, it became a rule to subsidize those who attended the lectures.
This was common in later generations, because going to school would take up too much time for a labor force, especially these days, when children as young as five can go to the fields, pull weeds, and pick wheat to do a lot of work.
Only subsidies can make parents send them one after another.
If you still want to charge tuition fees, only a few knowledgeable parents will be willing. Most people are vulgar and would rather let their children work at home.
Bai Luzhi was very shocked when he heard this.
Although there is a subsidy for going to Luoyang to attend lectures, it is the orthodoxy of the imperial court.
But for the other party to be able to do such a thing even though it is just a separate territory, it is very terrifying.
Then someone took them into the lecture hall.
They came to a large wooden house on a hillside.
"You have just arrived, so go and listen to T-shaped classes first. They are divided into four categories: scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce. Just go in and listen without disturbing others." The leader pointed to the bottom house with wooden slips hanging on it.
Lu Zhi nodded and quickly chose a room to enter.
He quietly entered through the back door, and his disciples followed quietly.
No one cares about their entry.
Just like no one knows that he is a great scholar in China.
At this time, there was a high platform in front of the room. On the high platform, two children were arguing.
The child is only about ten years old.
"Last week's homework was about how to ensure that the court does things for the people. My idea is this. If I pass the exam rigorously, I will almost be dragged out and beheaded..." Child A said this.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi was shocked.
Here, two boys can discuss the imperial court?
And they seemed to have no fear of the imperial court at all.
Not at all like those folk kids who cringe.
Child B said: "What you are doing is wrong. Officials should be elected by the people. In this way, in order to keep their positions, officials will try their best to please the people. Just like every time I want to eat candied haws, I have to please my father."
Lu Zhi was shocked when he heard this.
He felt like Confucius met two children trying to distinguish the sun.
Even Sage Kong didn't know anything about the distance between the sun and the earth.
But these two children can speak clearly and eloquently.
He remembered the eight letters he had given to His Majesty before:
Yongliang: Let the prefectures and counties select the virtuous and appoint them according to their talents.
Original ban, control of disasters, preparation for bandits, cultivation of body, respect for Yao, control of subordinates, and dissemination of benefits.
This also includes the performance appraisal of officials.
However, this could not be implemented and His Majesty did not adopt it.
But now these two children are discussing this issue in depth.
At this time, Xiao'er A said contemptuously: "If you use the people to recommend officials, the people will be ignorant and only look at what is in front of them. Even if they are civilized, they will only focus on working and eating. In order to become officials, they will compete to please these people. Today you are talking about choosing
I will give you 500 yuan, and tomorrow he will say, choose me to pay 1,000 yuan."
"As for where the money comes from, it's the court's money and the court's reserves. They don't worry about what will happen to them in the future. After all, everyone can only be an official for ten years. They will just take it and leave."
Lu Zhi nodded.
This makes perfect sense.
Nowadays, the selection of virtuous people is based on reputation. Isn't it because some people concoct various rumors about filial sons in a targeted manner?
Some of them he felt were too cruel after hearing them.
He buried his son to be filial to his mother, abandoned his biological son, and took his nephew on the road.
If it is to be recommended by the common people, then whoever promises the most will get the most support.
At this time, Child B said: "In that case, we can take a step back and make appointments from above, but the promotion and punishment will be determined by the voice of the people."
Child A still shook his head and said: "It's still wrong, because there are long-term and short-term things to do. When I was in office, I did not collect taxes and borrowed money to give charity. When you were in office, you spent 9 years on requisitioning labor and suffering unspeakably to build water conservancy projects.
Who do you think the people will say is good?"
Lu Zhi was shocked.
He couldn't help but stand up and said: "I never thought that although you are still young, you can actually say something so profound?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the two children laughed together: "Old sir, you are late. If you listen more to our ancestor's lectures, you will know that what we are talking about is the most superficial.
Something.”
Lu Zhi nodded humbly.
He is a great scholar.
The kind of true Confucianism.
Be open-minded and eager to learn.
Don't be ashamed to ask, this word is not good, what is up and what is down?
The four words "not ashamed to ask" reflect the ridiculousness of superiority and inferiority.
The so-called great Confucians, it is difficult to say that great Confucians are good at running a country, the gap between strength and weakness is too huge, but in terms of personal cultivation, they are indeed top-notch.
"I wonder when your ancestor will come to give lectures?" Lu Zhi asked.
"You have to be promoted to a higher school, level A, B, C, and D. Finally, you are promoted to school A, where you can hear the lectures of the ancestors."
"There is an assessment every ten days. If you pass the assessment, you will naturally pass."
"This assessment is this assignment. How to ensure that officials do things for the people?"
Lu Zhi thought for a while, then took out a bamboo slip and started writing.
"Be a good person before you do things, and cultivate your mind first. If people are upright, things will be done right. If people are upright, things will be upright."
Then he elaborated on a set of Confucian norms.
This problem can be solved by first cultivating people's minds and cultivating their natures to become gentlemen, and then letting gentlemen become officials.
People today find it ridiculous, but for more than two thousand years, this has been the way people in this land thought.
The best way to attack a person is to attack his character. Once his character is bad, no amount of achievements will be enough.
For example, Li Shimin spent countless energy to deal with the words "kill brother".
Then he placed the article he had written on the high platform.
After looking at it, Child A immediately shook his head and said, "It stinks, it smells bad."
After looking at it, Child B also shook his head and said: "It's a mess, it's a mess."
