The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen was born into a famous clan and had great military exploits, and had close contacts with Yuan Shao, He Yong and other party members and celebrities. The most important thing was that eunuchs like Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang did not like him very much. For this view of our friend, Luoyang's scholar-officials certainly praised him.

"Especially after Duke Ming arrested Li Hu and imprisoned, the matter spread in Luoyang. All the upright scholar-officials, scholars, and even the imperial students in the Imperial Academy highly praised Duke Ming, who praised Duke Ming for not being afraid of force, and there were The legacy of the fathers in the Gong family."

Xun Zhen knew as soon as he heard it, this must have been the victory of the public opinion war initiated by Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Kong Rong, etc. for him, thus causing the public opinion in Luoyang to favor him. If not, Li Hu, a small six Baishi County Prime Minister, his arrest and imprisonment will definitely not arouse the attention of the Kyoto scholar-bureaucrats or imperial students.

Both Wang Yun and Kong Rong were born into aristocratic families. They have always been clean and moral, and have a high reputation in Shilin, especially Kong Rong. Because of some of his deeds when he was young, and because of his good nature, he was very popular among young scholars. Zizhong's reputation is very high, especially in Taixue, Xun Shuang needless to say, he can be said to be the representative of the Xun clan now, and his reputation is no worse than Wang Yun, even some. After all, if there were people like them who created public opinion for Xun Zhen, then Xun Zhen's reputation in Luoyang scholar-bureaucrats and imperial schools would naturally go up. To describe it in one word, it was fame. It was just that Xun Zhen had captured a county chief. Li Hu is just that. It is conceivable that if Xun Zhen killed the Zhao clan, the world would definitely know how loud his reputation would be.

Speaking of imperial students, the imperial students of the Han Dynasty have always been concerned about politics. They are a force that cannot be underestimated. At the most, there were 30,000 imperial students in Luoyang. Some of these imperial students were the children of Gongqing, some were the children of the gentry, and at worst, they were also the prefectures and counties. The well-known "Han Shi", so many young people with "background" gathered together, their strength is not enough to shake the court, but it is enough to form a powerful force that cannot be underestimated, especially in terms of public opinion, ——This can be seen from the two previous party conquests, both of which had the active participation of students from Taiyuan. Li Ying and Jia Biao from Yingchuan County, who were already in official positions at that time, were leaders of the students.

For example, the participation of the students in state affairs and politics can be compared to the student movements of later generations, such as the May Fourth Movement.

Of course, after two party restraints, the leaders of the party members were completely lost, and the students were also implicated. Today's students are less powerful than before, but they are still not to be underestimated. There are two direct benefits of being famous among the students of the Imperial College. One is that they have a good reputation in the public opinion, and the other is that when the world is in chaos, the young heroes in the students of the Imperial College are likely to choose their masters. They will go to Xun Zhen.

Those who achieve great things need their own abilities, but also talents. In particular, they need to have a talent pool. Only a political group that is constantly joined by fresh blood is a healthy political group that can develop in the long run.

So after hearing the praises from the Taixue, Xun Zhenji was overjoyed and said, "Is my name actually passed on to the Taixue?"

Shang Zheng, Luan Gu and others were sitting, and Xun Zhen was their chief official. Xun Zhen was able to be praised by the scholars and officials in the capital, and they were also very honored and very happy—their future had a lot to do with Xun Zhen, Only when Xun Zhen has achieved considerable development, can they follow the success of a hundred feet and go further, and their career development will be better and easier.

However, Luan Gu felt strange that Xun Zhen was not happy that his name was praised by the imperial scholar-bureaucrats in Kyoto, but he was happy that the imperial students knew his name, so he asked, "The Duke of Ming's name is Kyoto. The scholar-officers praised and praised that Kyoto is a gathering place for famous scholars and scholars from all over the world, and being able to make a name for themselves in the capital is a good thing, but why is Duke Ming not very happy about this, but he is overjoyed because his name is known by the imperial students?"

Xun Zhen thought to himself, "I can't tell you that the world will be in chaos and the Han family will be in ruin?" So he laughed without saying a word. Criticism?"

Shen Pei was an upright person, and he didn't hide what he said. He replied, "Some of the literati-bureaucrats in the capital are quite critical of Duke Ming's actions."

"Oh? Have a problem with my 'action'?"

"Some people say that Duke Guanming's actions are not Confucian righteousness, but like a cruel official."

Xun Zhen doesn't take this criticism seriously. In today's world, it's not a brutal legalist who dares to make decisions. How can he be a Yin Xiu, the former prefect of Yingchuan, or Wang Yun, the prefect of Jizhou, who has no reputation but no prominence. Talk about mediocrity of political achievements? Besides, being strong and daring to break, or to put it another way, is daring to act, which is also an advantage.

Xun You saw this, and he added with a smile: "The sage said, 'Dare to be the first in the world', and he said, 'Do what you should do, even if there are thousands of people I will go', why is it bad for being strong and daring? This mediocre person It's not worth mentioning."

Xun Zhen asked the trial partner and said, "Are there any criticisms or criticisms?"

"Some people think that Duke Ming killed too much."

"Oh? Where did this talk come from?"

Although Xun Zhen started his career with military exploits, in his opinion, his killings are really not "prosperous". Compared with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were flat with the Yellow Turbans, they would kill the prisoners and set up the Jingguan. The killings of the people are very few and can be said to be benevolent.

Shen Pei said, "It's about the fact that Duke Ming forced the local clan to pay food to help the military when he was in the state of Zhao."

Xun Zhen thought that those who criticized him for killing too many people said that he killed too many Yellow Turbans, but unexpectedly, he said this. He smiled and said nothing about this evaluation. He could well understand why some people would criticize him like this. For no other reason, it was because of class interests. He was also a landowner in the county and county. Watching Xun Zhen persecute the right surname of the Zhao family in Zhao State, it was inevitable that some people would die.

Xun Zhen was well aware of this, but he couldn't say it outright, he couldn't directly say that these scholar-bureaucrats were for self-interest, and he couldn't say that he didn't care about the criticism of these people, because after all, he also belonged to this class. If he is criticized, he will give the impression that he seems to have betrayed this class, then he may lose the support of this class in the future, at least part of the support of this class, so although he does not agree with these people's Criticism, but not speaking.

When describing the relationship between economy and politics, later generations have a classic conclusion: the economic base determines the superstructure; when later generations evaluate some people and events in history, they sometimes say that they have "the limitations of the times". After Xun Zhen traveled to this era, he had a deep understanding of these two points. The current economic conditions are like this, and the general environment is like this. Landlords and gentry monopolize the economy and culture, and thus also monopolize politics and military affairs. Strength cannot change this status quo, so although he "can't stand it", he can only "silently comply", and at most make some changes within his power that won't provoke too much backlash.

Handan Rong didn't think so, he smiled disdainfully and said: "This is also a mediocre opinion. Earlier when the prince was in Zhao County, there were many thieves in Zhao, and the people could not live well, and the treasury was empty, and the military was not enough. It is difficult to pacify the thieves by using troops, and the stability of Zhao land cannot be guaranteed if the thieves cannot be pacified. Those big clans in Zhao land, who are sitting on the grain of ten thousand stones, but only care about their own families and ignore the people of the country. For such people, not to mention that the lords and lords did not kill them. What if you kill them all? You have done a good thing for Zhao people!"

The matter of Xun Zhen forcing the big clan to donate food in Zhao County was mainly handled by Handan Rong, and of course he had to stand on Xun Zhen's side.

After listening to Handan Rong's words, Xun Zhen smiled, changed the subject, and asked the trial partner, "Are there any other criticisms and criticisms?"

The trial partner replied: "As for everything else, it's all nitpicking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is not worth mentioning."

Not all scholar-bureaucrats like Kong Rong and Yin Xiu who like to support and help others, some are jealous, and some are unwilling to see other people's reputation better than their own, so there are a lot of critical criticisms, but these criticisms, He didn't even take the trial and mating seriously, didn't even mention it, then Xun Zhen didn't take it seriously, so he didn't ask any more questions.

When Shen Pei returned, Xun Zhen threw a feast for him.

At the banquet, Xun Zhen introduced Wei Guang to him.

Shen Pei had also heard of Wei Guang's name, and knew that he was a hero in this county. The two of them were born from a noble family and a market ranger. Although their temperaments were not quite the same, the etiquette when they met was still the same. good. It was also the first time that Handan Rong and Shen Pei met. The two of them had similar backgrounds and similar temperaments.

But he said that after receiving the wind and washing the dust for Shenpei, news came the next day that He Miao, who had commanded the troops to defeat the Xingyang thieves, had triumphed and quelled the rebellion.

This is the special treatment of relatives. Earlier, Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turbans in several states and turned the tide. It can be said that he stabilized the millions of Yellow Turbans by himself and saved the Han Dynasty Building from the collapse. However, he even rode a car. The general didn't get it, so he shared the title with Zhu Jun. He was only worshiped as the general of the left chariot, and the title of the general was waived soon after. This is obviously because the imperial court refused to grant the power to Huangfu Song. , and He Miao just quelled a group of Xingyang thieves that even Xun Zhen had never heard of in later generations, but received the heavy responsibility of the general of the chariot and cavalry. relatives.

He Jin is the general, He Miao is the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the He family has two generals. As the troubled times approach, the He family gradually becomes more prominent.
