Chapter 2 No Competitiveness Between Noble and Low
The whole night was silent, and the next day Gongsun Xun went to deal with things by himself.
According to the general results discussed by General Wei and his core subordinates yesterday, the troops should be divided into four groups... On the one hand, Wang Xiu temporarily handled the civil affairs of the third auxiliary; on the other hand, Jia Xu set out to deal with the recruitment of Hongnong, and the remaining Liang in Luoyang
On the other hand, the generals such as Lou Gui and Han Dang discussed their merits and reorganized the army; on the other hand, they asked Xi Zhong, Xun You, and Zhong Yao to immediately issue an order to seek talents, and recommended talents on a large scale to enrich the army.
Shogunate.
Among them, the first three things can be done at the same time, and apart from Jia Xu's side, which can be expected in the short term, the other two things are destined to be taken seriously, and are destined to consume a lot of time and energy.
long-term things to deal with.
In this case, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, expanding the shogunate, recruiting talents, and unifying administrative powers have become top priorities, and have also become prerequisites for completing the other tasks.
To be more specific, it may be different from what many people think. It is actually very simple to expand the shogunate and establish a system... After all, the Qin and Han systems are actually very complete. These days, the shogunate has a complete military reserve.
System and talent recruitment system, the Sangong Mansion has a perfect political system for various things, including two plus nine plus one, a total of eleven cao and one pavilion.
Among them, the so-called "two" refers to Dong Cao, who is responsible for personnel affairs. Xicao is responsible for internal personnel deployment, and Dong Cao is responsible for external personnel deployment.
The so-called nine refers to the nine-cao system of the Qin and Han Dynasties, that is, the household Cao is in charge of the people's households, temples and mulberry farming; the zhuo Cao is in charge of discussing affairs; the resignation cao is in charge of lawsuits; the facao is in charge of postal and postal affairs; the wei cao is in charge of logistics and transporting matters for the people; and the thieves are
Cao Cao is in charge of thieves; Cao Cao is in charge of criminal and judicial affairs; Cao Cao is in charge of military affairs; Cao Jin is in charge of currency, salt, and iron affairs; Cao Cao is in charge of granary affairs.
Finally, there is a Huangge master bookkeeper, responsible for document storage.
Such a system, coupled with the original military privy system of the General's Palace, is really a complete Bafu system.
In fact, the later so-called Three Provinces and Six Ministries system of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhongshu, Privy Council, and Three Divisions systems of the Song Dynasty, and the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, including the military aircraft system of the Qing Dynasty. To put it bluntly, they are all variants of the Qin and Han systems.
, prime ministerial power; internal power, external power; civil power, military power, financial power... They play their own games, just making slight advances and retreats according to the characteristics of the times.
There is a saying that is very good, that is, the system of Qin will be followed by all generations...the things in the world are just like that, and these things are not so mysterious.
At this time, what Gongsun Xun has to do is to add the Eleven Cao and One Pavilion organization to his General Wei's Mansion, and then slap the table and send all matters in his territory to General Wei's Mansion for disposal.
That's all.
So back to the present, from this day forward, Gongsun Xun's real focus should be on talents, because without enough talents, the system of Eleven Cao Yige will be just an empty shell, no matter how perfect it is.
Therefore, Gongsun Xun is actually quite looking forward to today’s order seeking talents, Ma Teng and Han Sui’s pledge list, as well as Zhong Yao and Xun You’s recommendations... In any case, the original intention of taking down the center is to ensure that
The only thing that may affect his ability to whip the world will not be held by others, and the other is to take a fancy to the talents accumulated by the center over the years.
There is no doubt about the importance of talents. When it is said that everything is people-oriented, this person naturally refers to the integration of the people. However, when it is really used, the best among them must be selected to assume leadership and other important responsibilities, and this best person is
The so-called talent.
What has to be admitted is that the Central Committee, the bureaucratic complex that Gongsun Xun criticized in public, still has a monopoly on the most elite and most convenient group of ruling talents in the entire Han Empire... The ministers in Huangmen Shilang and the Shangshulang in Shangshutai.
, the censors at the Yushitai, and the court officials created by Dong Zhuo, who were mainly the children of ministers and ministers, are actually talents worth looking forward to, and they must not be killed with a stick.
But then again, the premise of all this is that it can be used by me, and it can't overwhelm the guest.
After all, employing people is politics.
"Pang De and Pang Lingming?" Under the shade of a tree in the courtyard of General Wei's mansion, Gongsun Xun took a piece of paper and raised his eyebrows slightly. "He is also considered a hostage? Han Wen's hostage for your appointment?"
By the way, that morning, Gongsun Xun ordered the door to be opened early in the morning, hung up the order seeking talents, and bluntly said that he would not refuse anyone who came. Then he sat in the courtyard and prepared to accept the world's talents. And soon, he was indeed there
The first wave of expected talent dividends, Han Sui and Ma Teng, were welcomed in the bustling city, and some Xiliang military leaders were the first wave of people to swarm over.
After all, these people don't need to worry about their face, and they are restless in Chang'an City, and the army is also trembling when surrounded by Gongsun Xun's army... so they are particularly anxious.
"Yes." Han Sui quickly stood up and said respectfully. "I'm not childless, but none of them are over ten years old. I'm afraid I can't serve the general. I only have one daughter who was born last year, and Liangzhou is poor and has too few young talents, so
So I simply recruited Lingming as my son-in-law."
Gongsun Xun, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, raised his head and thought for a moment, but he was still confused... If Pound became Han Sui's son-in-law, why did he always become Ma Teng's son-in-law?
Of course, what General Wei didn't know was that it was the battle he presided over at the Weishui River that day that killed Yan Xing, who was supposed to be Han Sui's son-in-law, and then allowed Pang De to take his place. As the saying goes, there was a reason.
That's all.
Of course, if you don’t understand, don’t think too much. Gongsun Xun immediately nodded: “In that case, Pang Lingming is indeed the best candidate. I heard that he likes riding white horses. In the past, he was called White Horse in Liangzhou. I also like him very much.
He is brave and loyal, and it just so happens that some of my military officers are being transferred out, so I asked him to bring over these Liangzhou disciples on the list to supplement them."
Han Sui was overjoyed and immediately leaned over to thank him.
Ma Teng also quickly stood up and handed a list of names to Jia Kui.
Gongsun Xun opened it and saw the word Ma Chao. He was even more shocked: "Ma Chao is your eldest son, right?"
"Exactly." Ma Teng responded immediately.
"Already crowned?" Gongsun Xun frowned even more. "It's not that big, right?"
"He is just fourteen years old, but he will be old enough to tie his hair when he is sent here... I want him to learn something from the general of the guard." Ma Teng responded earnestly. "And although this kid is only fourteen, he has already grown up early.
He is already able to mount a horse and wield a spear, which can be said to be strong and brave."
Gongsun Xun frowned even more.
By the way, it's not that he doubts Ma Teng's sincerity, but he has some doubts about Ma Chao... It's not a question of character either. A fourteen-year-old naughty boy, no matter how naughty he is, is thousands of miles away from home alone, and he is still in the army.
The key to being able to restrain her gradually is that the age of fourteen is really embarrassing and a bit too young.
But if you don’t accept it, then it’s even more wrong, right?
"General Wei." At this moment, Han Sui, who had just sat down easily, suddenly stood up and said. "Ma Chao is the eldest son of General Ma... He also has two legitimate sons, one is thirteen and the other is twelve.
Able to mount a horse and hold a spear."
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui in shock, but quickly knelt down to Gongsun Xun and apologized: "I definitely didn't mean to deceive the general. It's just that the other two sons are too young, and Ma Chao is not a bastard, but his mother is a Qiang."
"I have no intention of pursuing you." Just when Ma Teng was panicking for a moment, Gongsun Xun, who was too lazy to pay attention to Han Sui's little thoughts, finally nodded and said. "I just feel that I am a bit young, so there is no need to forcefully tie my hair... This is good.
Well, among the children of Liangzhou on the list, those over the age of 18 will follow Pang Lingming into Baima Yicong. Those under the age of 18, like your eldest son, Ma Chao, how about going to Changping to study for two years and then serve in our army?
"
Ma Teng naturally had nothing to say.
Now that the regulations have been decided and the two largest warlords in Liangzhou have successfully passed, then, next, such as Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Jiang, Yan, Zhao, Ren, Liang, Su, Song, Bian, etc. in Liangzhou
The wealthy families and military leaders also expressed their sincerity and all had their own children as gifts, so there was no need to say more.
Gongsun Xun put away the list and saw the group of Liangzhou warlords and nobles in front of him respectfully, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone, do you know why I am so kind to you?"
Han Sui did his duty and said: "The king is magnanimous."
"It's not magnanimity." Gongsun Xun shook his head. "We just fought a battle last year, with over 10,000 casualties. Why should we deceive ourselves and others about magnanimity? The reason why I tolerate you is nothing more than a matter of urgency."
Han Sui, Ma Teng and below all laughed dryly.
"As far as the local area is concerned, in your Liangzhou area, firstly, the Qiang and Han people have mixed together, and the chaos has lasted for more than a hundred years. If you want to rebuild, it will be a long and heavy task; secondly, as long as Liangzhou does not invade Guanzhong, it has no bearing on the overall situation.
"Gongsun Xun continued to sit there and said. "As for people, although the Liangzhou Army is good at fighting, but trash like you, it seems to be invincible, but in fact, what it wants is just to separate itself for a while and seek personal happiness.
, has no great ambitions... Not to mention compared with Yuan Shao, even Tao Qian, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are far inferior. Therefore, as long as you are honest, I can naturally let it go and deal with Hebei first, and then I will reason with you...
...And you also understand this truth, so you dare to go to Xiwu to see me, and you still want to rely on me to stand up and sit still, right?"
Han Ma and others laughed even more apologetically.
Gongsun Xun also burst into laughter immediately, and then immediately stopped smiling solemnly: "That being said, when I am in power, I always have to follow the rules of the court. Moreover, my soldiers and horses are stronger than yours, and I have also openly defeated you.
Can I say something to you?"
Han Sui was still the first to react, and he immediately leaned over and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
Everyone from Ma Teng on down also hurriedly bowed down and obeyed his orders.
"First, I don't care what you do. Hanyang County governs Jicheng and the passage east of Jicheng must be released. The imperial court will also send a new Liangzhou governor to station in Jicheng."
"Here!" He came up and wanted to seize the territory, but Han Sui and others still gritted their teeth and responded.
"Secondly, you are not allowed to fight with each other privately. If there is any friction, report it to the governor first. Sit down and don't mount your horse...I can make my own judgment on the right and wrong."
"Here!"
"Thirdly, the three counties in the north, headed by Ma Shoucheng, must pay attention to guard against the Xianbei in the west going south. If Bingzhou asks for reinforcements, they are not allowed to refuse; while the three counties in the west, headed by Hanwen, must try their best to maintain the Western Region passage and protect business travel." Gongsun Xun.
He continued to speak, but at this point, his words suddenly became harsh. "Finally, no harm is allowed to the people. As far as I know, the people of Liangzhou are quite peaceful under your rule, and the local people are relatively friendly to you."
Respect, this is actually the reason why I can really tolerate you. Otherwise, no matter how difficult it is, is it as difficult as asking Dong Dong? I have made it very clear in front of Hedong and Weiyang Palace before. If you really disobey me,
Then I will also kill Dong Zhuo, thousands of miles away, take your heads, and then tell the world... Everyone, I have known Dong Zhuo for more than ten years, so being able to keep his mother and granddaughter is nothing to you.
connection!"
Han Sui's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he was still the first to bow his head and say hello.
"In that case, I will go to the Emperor tomorrow and call you two generals, and then lead your troops back respectively." Gongsun Xun waved his hand. "There are so many things going on here in Chang'an, I really have no intention of entertaining you.
And you must go back early to stabilize the order in Liangzhou and appease the people of Liangzhou... tell them that the Han Dynasty has been stable for a hundred years, and Liangzhou has been in chaos for a hundred years. Now the Han Dynasty is all in chaos, but I, Gongsun Xun, have taken Guanzhong, so it is time to take another turn.
I feel a little more settled in Liangzhou."
Han Sui and others bowed their heads and said goodbye, and Gongsun Xun put away the list without thinking much about it.
It is said that it is rare for General Wei's palace to be open to the public, and it is naturally full of people. So after Han Sui and others left, the Yi Cong in front of the door immediately attracted people here. This group of people were three brothers, named Zhang Fan and Zhang Zhao respectively.
, Zhang Cheng was a famous martial arts sect in Hanoi, and he was the successor of Zhang Liang, the marquis.
Among them, Zhang Chengnai was born as a serious official of General Wei, and could be regarded as an old official of Gongsun Xun... He came from a top-notch family and had such a connection. It was no wonder that he came here so early. At the same time, it was no wonder that Yi Cong put them at the front.
By the way, in another time and space, these three brothers once planned to deal with Dong Zhuo, but gave up on their own. Then they fled to Yangzhou together, and were finally caught by Yuan Shu. They returned to the center after the Battle of Guandu and were reused by Cao Cao.
.
At this time, with such a relationship, Gongsun Xun naturally felt that it was a natural fit, so he immediately stood up to welcome Zhang Cheng. On the one hand, he wanted Zhang Cheng to return to the shogunate, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to speak directly to Zhang Fan and asked him to stay as his memorial.
Cao Cao.
However, Zhang Cheng's return was decided, but Zhang Fan declined Gongsun Xun's conquest.
Gongsun Xun was surprised but also suddenly realized... Firstly, before he was in Hanoi, he knew that Zhang Fan was extremely indifferent and had the feeling of being a Taoist. Secondly, he also understood Zhang Fan's mentality. He had been in Weiyang Palace before.
The momentum is too strong. For such a smart person, he will be a little worried. The person may be biased towards him, but he doesn't want to take sides between the Han Dynasty and himself.
Giving up his central position and becoming his direct subordinate to Gongsun Xun was not a last resort. He would not do this after becoming a marquis...especially since Xiuwu Zhang was still in love with Gongsun Xun. As long as General Wei was not
If you are a fool who can't tell the difference between friend and foe, then you won't embarrass him.
In fact, Gongsun Xun really had nothing to say about this.
Of course, some disappointment is inevitable.
In fact, Gongsun Xun was very confident about the talents he could recruit in Chang'an.
For example, although the characters sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui were from neighboring counties, and the smell of rebels could not be washed away, Gongsun Xun was happy to see these people join his army, and in the future he would fight in Guandong.
Hebei meritorious service, because they have no political foundation and no involvement in the army, is actually a great advantage that can be used with confidence.
There are also some people, no matter their background or position, as long as they have basic abilities, then if they choose to submit themselves to be assassinated in accordance with the order of seeking talents, Gongsun Xun will definitely try his best to ensure that the other party is favorably arranged... Thousands of gold can buy horse bones.
Okay, let’s just say it’s an obedience test. This has been the rule for thousands of years anyway.
There are still some people who, as long as they come to his door, Gongsun Xun has no choice but no reason to turn them away... For example, He Jin Changshi Wang Qian who once helped Gongsun Xun, and the Shanyang Wang family behind Wang Qian, they have to repay their kindness;
If Cai Bojie comes to visit again, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, he will have to hold his nose and offer sacrifices; similarly, there are Liu Kuan's disciples, former Hanoi troops, and so on.
But he never expected that these people who were involved with him would actually have erratic thoughts. On the contrary, the group of Xiliang rebels were all frightened... Could it be that they could only demonstrate and not be greedy?
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but have some thoughts about sending Zhang Fan away and leaving Zhang Cheng behind. As time went by, the more people came this day, the more similar situations happened. Even Shi Shuhua, who Gongsun Xun valued very much,
Instead, Xin Huaziyu advised him not to be too impatient in order to appease Guanzhong's people.
As for the so-called 'talented people' who truly applied for a job and came here as 'applications', I didn't see any of them.
Of course, even though he knew in his heart that the people who came to visit after receiving the news today were only people from Chang'an City, and few people in Chang'an City needed to use this method to ask for their origin, Gongsun Xun's mood gradually turned gloomy.
But in today's world, as the saying goes, the king chooses his ministers and his ministers also choose the king. You cannot be too aggressive in recruiting talents. If you want to demonstrate, you have to make subtle moves, otherwise you will be the only one who suffers in the end.
"Junhou."
In the afternoon, when the sky was setting, Xi Zhong, Xun You, and Zhong Yao rushed to General Wei's mansion with their recommendation lists, but they saw Gongsun Xun summoning Wang Qian's son, Wang Can, who was only thirteen years old and was wearing a mourning... By the way...
, Only then did Gongsun Xun know that Wang Qian had died of illness on the way to move the capital. As he became increasingly depressed, he was also hesitant about how to resettle Wang Can.
You know, this boy came to visit with his cousin. They are similar in age, but his cousin Wang Kai is seven feet tall at a young age and has a handsome appearance. He looks like a young man with tied hair; while Wang Can himself is short.
, ugly in appearance, and weak in body, like an underdeveloped ten-year-old child, which is really worrying.
To be fair, if Wang Can was like his brother, Gongsun Xun would have stayed by his side for a long time. But if he was like this, if he stayed by his side to work hard, if he got sick or injured, and then died, he would be afraid that Wang Qian would be ruined that day.
Two great favors.
And just when Gongsun Xun was hesitant for a moment, and Zhong Yao, Xi Zhong, Xun You and others around him were willing to remain silent, suddenly, Yu Fuluo came from the backyard and hurriedly presented a kit.
"What is this?" Gongsun Xun was naturally confused.
"Cai... was left behind by Mrs. Cai." Yu Fulo quickly replied. "It's not that I didn't know that the prince was visiting guests, but it was actually the lady's order."
Everyone around looked at each other in confusion. Even the opera loyalists didn't know why Mrs. Cai suddenly appeared. How could Jia Kui and the followers who knew a little bit talk about it?
"Did she go back?" Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously and took the brocade bag directly. In his opinion, since what happened last night, there was no need to think too much about it. He only waited for two days to finish his work and then immediately found someone to propose marriage.
To formally adopt the other party as my wife... It would have been ridiculous to take Cai Bojie's daughter as my concubine more than ten years ago, but now that I have the power of the world, it doesn't matter.
Although there are many rules in the world, few are designed for those who are truly superior.
"Early in the morning when the Lord came to see what was going on, Mrs. Cai had already gone back." Gongsun Xun took the initiative to ask, and Yu Fulo's tone was much more accommodating. "She asked me not to tell the Lord, but she just left two tips...
...One is this, to be given to the prince; the other is to be given to the subordinates and others. Let me wait to open it at this time, and after opening it, I realized that it is to present the tip to the prince at this time.
And report something."
"What's the matter?" Gongsun Xun was about to open it when he was suddenly startled and a little surprised in his heart.
"The tips in the bag that Mrs. Cai left for us were clearly written. She asked us to tell the prince." Yuvluo's tone was dry and difficult, as if he was a little afraid. "She did not go home, but went to Hedong early in the morning, preparing to go
Looking for a job from the old lady..."
"Why are everyone going to Hedong?" When Gongsun Xun heard that he was going to see his mother, he couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment. He felt that Cai Zhaoji was a little too proactive. However, when he opened the bag of tips in his hand and scanned it slightly, he found that
My whole person is feeling bad.
It turned out that there was only a piece of paper in the kit, and the paper only contained a few lines of small words:
Since I was a child in Handan, I have heard a lot about the aunt's style, and I have always wanted to imitate the woman's example, so as to leave a name for the world and comfort the world. However, I am limited by my family, and I think too much and do nothing. Confined by the troubled times, my actions are fruitless. What happened yesterday is three points
As a father, you are divided into three parts as your king, but in the end you are your own. Today I am going to the east of the river and will never return. If you have any intention of caring about me, I will never look for you again.
Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and finally understood what the other party meant. He thought it was the beauty who threw himself into his arms, but unexpectedly, the beauty broke free and prostituted him before leaving!
"Your Majesty?" Everyone saw that Gongsun Xun didn't speak for a long time and brother Wang Can was still sitting there awkwardly, so they reminded him.
"Let..." Gongsun Xun heard the words and started to speak, but in the middle of his words, he was stuck there. It took him a long time to recover. "Where is Zhang Cheng?"
"Your Majesty." Zhang Cheng, who had just returned to the scene, immediately stood up and responded.
"Ask your brother to be a matchmaker for me," Gongsun Xun raised the brocade bag in his hand and said blankly. "Tell Cai Bojie that his daughter was here with me yesterday. Since she is my wife, I will never let her down."
Like everyone else in the room, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses, and then nodded quickly.
"And." Gongsun Xun waited for a moment, then turned to point at Wang Can, who was wearing a mourning cloth and was short and ugly, and said to Jia Kui. "Wang Changshi and I have known each other for many years. Now that he has passed away, his son is still young.
I have to raise him alone...but I don't have any family here, so it's hard to deal with it. You can take him back to Hedong and send him to see his mother in person. By the way, I'd like to ask Mrs. Cai if she has arrived in Hedong...Understood.
Yet?"
Jia Kui knew it well and responded immediately, but he didn't take it seriously.
After arranging two things, he seemed to have made up for it, but it didn't seem to matter. Gongsun Xun felt disappointed, but suddenly stood up: "If you don't take the initiative to take action in the affairs of the world, you can only sit back and miss the opportunity... Zhicai, Gongda, Yuan Chang
, the three of you will leave the list of recommendations, and I will observe it myself... But you might as well summon the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to make some preparations, and you three will go and arrange it. Tomorrow I will have a banquet for all the ministers on the banks of the Wei River outside the city!"
All the subordinates naturally responded one after another, and then left and went to work.
Gongsun Xun, holding the brocade bag in hand, sat back in his seat, but he still felt lost.
