Chapter 2687: Discussions from the mouth and heart
"What is your Majesty doing?"
"It's a celebration again?"
"This big man... what's the matter, is he still celebrating?"
"Hey, this is what really needs a celebration..."
"It's my turn, this emperor is the emperor, and he is still the emperor without celebrations!"
"What you said is interesting. If it were the other way around..."
"Hahaha, but this time, the emperor looks a bit like an emperor! It's really our luck!"
"That's right, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty must look like the Emperor of the Han Dynasty..."
"But if this happens, some people will be unhappy, right?"
"Shh! Don't you want to live anymore?!"
"That's what I said..."
The chattering people walked away while whispering to each other.
For most ordinary gentry children in Xu County, they are only aware of this level. What they see is just a celebration, but there are still some people who will see more and think more deeply.
These people who see more and think further are often members of wealthy noble families.
A century-old family has accumulated more than just money.
Just like Xunshi.
Xun Wang died of old age in prison.
Don't care whether it was due to hide-and-seek or how, he died anyway.
The day after the news of Xun Wang's death came out, Xun You came back.
What a coincidence.
Well, it's such a coincidence.
Xun or quickly calmed down the chaos within the Xun family.
Then Xun Wang, well, who is Xun Wang?
Many people have begun to say that they have been in poor spirits recently and their memory has begun to decline.
After Xun Shuang's death, as one of the few elder-level figures in the Xun family, Xun Wang and Xun He did not get along very well. Having said that, Xun Wang really hated Xun He so much, and there was no relationship between him and Xun He.
Is there some deep-seated hatred?
not at all.
The conflict between them is not a personal conflict, but a factional issue.
The two of them, to a certain extent, are another kind of competition between conservatives and reformers.
You may not see gunpowder smoke, but you will see blood to some extent.
Xun Wang represents the conservatives. Maybe he was actually dissatisfied with Xun You at the beginning, but more importantly, since he represented the interests of the conservative faction, he had to confront Xun You tit for tat.
Xun may be inclined to reform, or to be more precise, reform. He is a royalist, but not a complete conservative. He agrees with reform, but does not agree with drastic revolution. So he chose Cao Cao instead of the more conservative Yuan Shao
.
Yes, the wealthy nobles will "listen" to whomever holds the gun, at least on the surface they will be submissive and respectful, but in reality?
Was the sword used by King Zhou of Shang still unfavorable? Did he kill enough people? Was the punishment cruel enough? Did the local princes, the tribal leaders at that time, obey? When he asked the Marquis of Xibo to eat the flesh of his own children, did he also eat it obediently?
Of course, the matter of torma may be true or false, but what is interesting is that most people will recognize this matter, or are willing to sing about it. What does this mean?
Qin Shihuang cut leeks from the Six Kingdoms, and Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty inherited the tradition of Qin Shihuang and continued to cut leeks. However, only one or two hundred years later, leeks could no longer be cut. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shandong in turn overtook Guanzhong and began to cut leeks from Shanxi and Guanzhong.
Why is this?
At this time, whose hand is the big man’s gun?
When did they change hands again?
These things are things that those who only think about fighting and killing all day are unwilling to think about them, but in the process of not thinking, they are gradually being plotted.
Xun Yu's expression was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor surprised.
Just like he did the same thing after learning about Xun Wang's death.
It seems to have been expected.
"What are you going to do?" Guo Jia swayed, half leaning and half lying down, supporting himself with his hands, swinging the wine gourd, and said casually, "The Emperor...has not made much progress..."
"The emperor is still a child." Xunhe's voice was flat.
"Aha!" Guo Jia's tone was up and down. The word "Aha" changed at least four tones, "Can the child do random things?"
Obviously, Guo Jia doesn't like the excuse of "he is still a child".
After all, when Guo Jia was a child, no one allowed him to eat more rice or drink soup. He was punished when he did something wrong. So why should he let other people's children run wild now?
Therefore, Guo Jia never tolerates it. If a gentleman has a grudge, he will avenge it that night. If he cannot avenge that night, he will avenge it tomorrow. As for what cannot be avenged tomorrow, it may take a long time.
For example, when Guo Jia was in Guanzhong, Guo Jia swayed the wine gourd and suddenly felt a little emotional. From a certain perspective, he was indeed insulted, whether it was from an IQ or a human nature, but at the same time,
Some help and growth, even physically, is also from Chang'an Baiyi Medical Center...
Forget it. Guo Jia took back his divergent thoughts, "What are you going to do?"
Xun You was silent for a while, "It's not what I want to do, it's the Qiaoqi..."
"Hussars?" Guo Jia frowned, then took a breath, "I understand... So it's a conspiracy?"
"Yangmou." Xun You nodded.
"Well..." Guo Jia pondered and took a sip of wine, "Then it's indeed a bit difficult to handle."
Xun You was silent for a longer time, and then slowly said: "Sometimes... I'm very worried..."
Guo Jia stopped talking.
Xun He and Guo Jia have been working hard to defeat Yang's conspiracy with Yang's plan, but the actual operation situation is not ideal. In other words, although there are some results, they have not achieved what Xun He and others want.
the effect achieved.
It's just like what Xun He said this time, "Hushi Qiyang's conspiracy". It's simple, it's very simple.
But if it's complicated, it's quite complicated.
The conservatives are the people with the large and small landlord class in Yuzhou and Jizhou as the main force. These people began to exert their strength during the Eastern Han Dynasty, overthrowing the Shanxi Group in one fell swoop and becoming the largest profit group in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They also kidnapped an old family member of the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Since then, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty have been painted with their own color and taste.
So at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, why did these landowners of all sizes in Jizhou and Yuzhou dare to show their swords and guns to Shanxi Guanzhong?
Because at that time the economic center of the Eastern Han Dynasty had shifted to Jizhou and Yuzhou. Whether it was grain, grass or goods, more came from Shandong than from Shanxi. Especially under the troubles of the Western Qiang and the Xiongnu, Guanzhong was exhausted.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Shandong itself was not united. Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, regardless of the Six Kingdoms or the Seven Kingdoms, everyone had their own ideas, so even the rebellion was quickly put down without causing any trouble.
By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a problem within the Shanxi camp in Guanzhong. Instead, the people of Shandong united under Liu Xiu. In order to gather most of the power, the queen's position was changed at a glance, so Guanzhong could not defeat Shandong.
, with a little pressure, internal conflicts will break out, and everyone's thoughts will wander, and the dead Taoist friends will not die the poor Taoist, and they can run faster than anyone else.
So if you want to kill people with a knife and kill those who oppose it, it is indeed not difficult and very simple. But the most important thing is not to kill people, but to have a prerequisite, that is, the core level of thinking must be absolutely unified, otherwise it may
Just like Jiangdong Sun Ce, he was stabbed in the back as soon as he picked up the knife and chopped a few people.
There is also the later generation Li Zicheng who played poker against the Landlord. He played smoothly at the beginning and could win even if his cards were bad. Why? Because it didn’t matter that Li Zicheng’s cards were bad, as long as his friendly cards were good. Even the landlord himself could break down the good cards.
He won the singles match, so Li Zicheng could win without having to play any cards.
In the early days of Li Zicheng, he did win a lot of fights with landlords. He drank wine, ate meat and played with the landlord's wife. The other landlords didn't dare to let one more fart out. It was not playing with their own family anyway, so what did it matter?
But when Li Zicheng was in his later years, the army was larger than when he started the uprising, and the equipment was better than when he first played cards. The generals, troops, troops, money, food, territory, etc., were not better than what he had when he first started playing cards.
Better deal with bad cards?
Then he studded them, and they were all gone.
You can win with bad cards, but lose all the good cards. Why?
Because when the cards are bad, everyone at the poker table hopes that the biggest chip player will fall, and everyone is a friend. When the cards are good, Li Zicheng himself becomes the biggest chip player, and everyone is an enemy.
Or a potential enemy.
In the poker game, not only did the dealer rebel, the referee became disengaged, and the upper and lower players colluded, but even the audience stood on the other side. Can Li Zicheng win such a card game?
Li Zicheng continued to hold the knife and gun, but in the end, even the knife and gun ran away. Who else could he kill? He could only kill himself?
As long as the core does not fail, there is no problem if the cards are bad.
Once the core falls, it will be useless no matter how good the cards are.
The core of the Hussars General is very stable and there will be no problems. Cao Cao, Xun You, Guo Jia and others are extremely resourceful. In other words, they are just making small fuss and cannot make trouble. Is it possible that they really send troops to sit in and demonstrate in front of Hangu Tongguan?
On the contrary, here in Shandong, the core layer has always been unstable.
Needless to say, Cao Cao has always been focusing on the core layer. From the beginning to the end, the military government system is based on the Cao family and the Xiahou family. But the problem is that the Cao family and the Xiahou family are mixed. Although the problem is not big in general, those who
Once a decayed and rotten place encounters strong pressure, problems will occur sooner or later.
Yuan Shao, who originally planned to follow the old route just like Guangwu's reappearance and Liu Xiu's rebirth, has proved with his life that things are different now. Jizhou and Yuzhou have their own hearts and minds, and they can no longer unite as they did in the late Western Han Dynasty. Even Yuan Shao's younger brother and best friend
Even my friend Cao Cao was able to resist Jizhou and defeat the strong with the weak. This shows that not only Shandong cannot be integrated into one body, but also there are constant disputes within Jizhou. How can we talk about unified thinking?
Cao Cao knew about this issue, Xun Yue understood it, and Guo Jiadong understood it.
And now even Emperor Liu Xie knows it...
So the emperor wants to hold a "celebration".
Those who understand, sit or stand with their chips in hand, waiting to place their bets.
People who don't understand become bargaining chips and are pressured on the card table.
The emperor's "celebration" this time was a card revealed by Liu Xie.
The one who gave the emperor the courage to turn over this card was not a certain lady, but the "audiences" from before, the "audiences" who stood under the palace wall and trembled as they watched Cao Cao kill people.
If it weren't for the crowds of people under the palace gate in Xu County, maybe Liu Xie wouldn't be so radical. Of course, this is just a possibility. But what is certain is that in the face of such a scene, everyone will be stimulated to a certain extent.
, although you may not necessarily say or do something on the spot, it does not mean that you will never say or do it in the future.
Who wants to be cut like a leek next time?
Therefore, they first found Kong Rong, used Kong Rong's mouth to speak out, and then revealed their "voice" to the emperor Liu Xie through the Kong Rong incident...
If it were Liu Xie a few years ago, he might not have noticed these sounds, but after several years of struggle, Liu Xie heard them, so he turned over the cards.
Move the chancellery table, one piece.
Want to hold a celebration, second photo.
And who gave these "audiences" the confidence to support Liu Xie's reversal? It was no one else but Fei Qian. It was Fei Qian who brought "courage" to the large and small landowners in Jizhou and Yuzhou.
"A bachelor of agriculture and engineering..." Xun You let out a long sigh, "Now that I think about it, this move... is simply..."
"It looks like leisure, but it's actually terrifying." Guo Jia clicked his tongue, "But aren't you counterattacking now? Well, although it's a little late, at least it's better than never."
Xun may be silent.
Indeed, as Guo Jia said, Xunhe began to seek a solution after he became aware of this problem. He not only trained poor students to replace those agricultural and engineering bachelors, but also began to investigate spies among these agricultural and engineering bachelors.
It has achieved certain results.
But it only has certain results.
Because what a bachelor's degree in agriculture and engineering brings is an increase in land income and an increase in the strength of large and small landowners.
And this point, when these agricultural and engineering bachelors first arrived in Shandong, no one realized that this was actually a cup of poisonous wine. It seemed sweet, but in fact it was rotten to the stomach after drinking it.
The large and small landowners can obtain more harvests, which seems to increase Cao Cao's strength, but in fact it is not, because most of the fields do not belong to Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao has added a lot of farming stations to directly obtain Zhuanghe.
Grain and grass, but in most of the land in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the land is still managed by local gentry and large gentry households, who organize people to plant it.
If historical development is followed, Cao Cao would have been defeated in the Battle of Chibi. Due to the large number of losses to his direct troops, the balance of power was deflected. At the same time, because Cao Cao was getting older, he would no longer focus on expanding his territory.
Shifted to cultivating the next generation.
Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao suppressed these landowners, including the emperor Liu Xie, and rubbed them on the ground.
But it's different now. Cao Cao can't hold it anymore...
The reason is that landowners, big and small, eat better and more, are stronger and resist more violently than in history. They cannot just lie down and enjoy themselves as they could not resist like in history.
And all this, in the final analysis, is because Feiqian sent out agricultural and engineering bachelors.
At the beginning, it was free and did not require any return for the bachelor's degree in agriculture and engineering.
In the era of information explosion in later generations, this kind of trap is still a trap that endless people fall into. In the current era of the Han Dynasty, even people like Xun He and Guo Jia will be suspicious and wary, but they cannot stop others from enjoying it.
Jump in.
"I have already reported this matter to my lord..." Xun You raised his head slightly and looked into the distance.
Guo Jia nodded, then shook his head again and sighed, "It's difficult. It's not difficult for you, my lord. It's difficult for you, my lord."
Xun You frowned slightly, but quickly understood what Guo Jia meant, and then he couldn't control his calm expression and sighed.
Cao Cao was a man of great talent, great determination, and great perseverance.
Xiahou Dun was mellow, honest and loyal.
As the leaders of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, both Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are very qualified and even very compatible. They trust each other and rely on each other, so they can trust each other with complete peace of mind.
, nor will they hide anything or deceive each other. They are two rare leaders.
But not everyone named Cao is Cao Cao.
Not everyone named Xiahou is Xiahoudun.
Before, almost everyone felt that the small number of Feiqian people was a big weakness.
But now someone suddenly realized that the small number of Feiqian people was actually a great advantage.
"My lord...should..." Xun You said a few words softly, then stopped and did not continue.
After hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly. Because since Xun or said the word "should", it means that Xun or himself is not very sure.
"Actually, there is a way to deal with it..." Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, "It's just that you don't want to use it."
Xun or raised his head, "Filial piety...a gentleman should have his own virtues..."
Guo Jia waved his hands and said: "Well, I am not a gentleman and I am not worthy of it. You are the gentleman... But you see, this gentleman is not that easy to be..."
Xun You looked at the clouds on the horizon slowly stretching and moving, and his voice became softer, "A big man... should be a gentleman..."
"Tsk!" Guo Jia shook his wine gourd and shook his head, "Have you never thought about what you would do if one day your gentleman is no longer a gentleman?"
Xun You lowered his head, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling, "Then maybe... he is not a big man..."
Guo Jia frowned, picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, but he didn't know when the wine gourd was empty. He just poured out a few drops, but there was no more wine.
Guo Jia shook the wine gourd up and down a few more times, but still didn't pour out the wine. He couldn't help but threw the wine gourd aside with a little annoyance, then stood up, muttering, "I... really... don't want to care."
Already..."
After muttering a few words, Guo Jia not only did not calm down, but became even more angry. He turned around and shouted to Xun You, "What on earth are you doing? No one will thank you for what you have done."
You! No one knows it!』
"Fengxiao." Xunhe frowned.
"The Emperor doesn't think you're fulfilling your loyalty! The Lord doesn't think you're fulfilling your duty!" Guo Jia waved his arms, the veins on his forehead beating, "Even your tribe doesn't think you're fulfilling your filial piety! You've obviously done this.
A lot, but no one will thank you! They will just scold you! Slander you! Eventually destroy you!"
Xun You raised his eyes and looked at Guo Jia, "So Fengxiao...what about you?"
"I..." Guo Jia was stunned as if he had been cast a restraining spell, then lay down and closed his eyes, "I... I will be mad at you sooner or later... I will be mad at you... this
You're not the only big man... aren't the others big Hans? Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'm going to sleep... Before I get mad at you, I'm going to drink more wine and get more sleep..."
"Then you go to the room and sleep." Xun Yue said.
Guo Jia hummed twice, turned away, and gave the back of his head to Xun You, ignoring him and not moving.
Xun You looked at Guo Jia, smiled slightly, then raised his head and turned his gaze to the distance again...
