Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77 Recruitment Order

In a room in the Xun's compound, an old man sat with his back to the door.

On the wall in front of the old man hangs a picture of a figure. The figure on the portrait wears a crown and a long robe. The face is clear, the expression is calm, and the eyes are deep as if they can travel through time and space.

Sandalwood incense was lit in a corner of the house, and the spices were of the highest quality, which made people feel calm and soothed. Unfortunately, the old man in the house seemed to be in a difficult mood, and his long eyebrows were beating non-stop.

There were light footsteps outside the house, and a young scribe saluted outside the house, greeting the old man inside.

The old man in the house didn't turn around, just indifferently instructed the young scribe to come in first.

There was a long silence, the old and the young were so quiet, no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man finally turned around, broke the silence, and said, "Wen Ruo, your way of nourishing your heart is not bad, but why are you so reckless?"

If Xun Yu and Xun Wen kowtowed to the ground, there was not a single word of excuse.

The old man sighed, and threw a court order beside him in front of Xun Yu, and said, "You are very impressive."

Xun Yu picked it up and opened it to see that it was the imperial court's call for Xun Shuang, that is, the old man's summoning order!
Summoning orders were not available to ordinary people in the Han Dynasty.Recruitment, also known as recruitment, refers to the emperor, in addition to the edict, naming certain celebrities and recruiting them to serve as officials in the imperial court.

These so-called socialites are either famous hermits living in high mountains and deep forests, or famous people who have served as officials before and retired to the countryside. Anyway, they are generally high-ranking people. Call the conscripted "junior".

At the time of conscription, the imperial court generally greeted them by bus, and for the elderly, they used a specially-made "An Chapu Wheel", that is, a wooden wheel was wrapped in a Pu to make the journey stable and not bumpy, and at the same time, there were bundles of silk, black and white. silk as a gift of recruitment.

Wherever he went along the way, the local officials had to decorate the driveway, residence, and wait for the reception in person.

Therefore, the conscription was a kind of behavior that the emperor of the Han Dynasty gave local celebrities face. In return, the conscripts generally said that the conscripted emperor should be called and ordered. Even if he did not want to be an official, he had to go to the capital to meet the emperor and then ask for his retirement. .

And everyone knows how old the emperor of the Han Dynasty is, so the summoning order at this time cannot be the voluntary will of the little emperor who is only six or seven years old. The only explanation is that Dong Zhuo ordered the summoning.

"This... Yu is unworthy, and it will affect my uncle..." Xun Yu put the summons on the ground and kowtowed to his uncle Xun Shuang to make amends. now...

"How is Dong Zhuo?" Xun Shuang wanted to hear what Xun Yu, who had seen Dong Zhuo's face, had to say.

"A rude warrior, the tyranny is already too much, it will end in chaos, and nothing can be done." Xun Yu's evaluation of Dong Zhuo was very poor.

This is also an important reason why Xun Yu resigned and fled home when Dong Zhuo added him an official position. Xun Yu was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo, thinking that he did not need to spend time on Dong Zhuo, nor did he want to be used by him, so he even I don't want to get a little bit of Dong Zhuo's favor.

"...Your move...is killing me..." Xun Shuang let out a long sigh.

Yes, Dong Zhuo's move is ruthless, or Li Ru gave Dong Zhuozhi this ruthless move. Originally, catching the rumor-monger was only the first step, but now the second step is on Xun Shuang. .

If the Wang family and the Yuan family are the biggest ruling party Qingliu, then the Xun family is the closest opposition party Qingliu to Luoyang.The purpose of Dong Zhuo or Li Ru's move is obvious, to balance the Qingliu power within the court and break the Qingliu alliance between the Wang family and the Yuan family.

Regardless of whether Xun Shuang stayed in the court after being drafted, at least Li Ru sent a strong signal in place of Dong Zhuo—from then on, the important positions in the central government of the court were no longer controlled by the ruling Wang and Yuan families. In Ye Qingliu’s openness, as long as they are willing to join the Dong family’s great cause, the high-ranking official Houlu is no problem...

What's more, Xun Shuang had rejected Yuan Feng's recommendation before, which means that everyone in the world knew that the Xun family would not stand with the Yuan family, so Xun Shuang was recruited this time. The people whom the family has suppressed will naturally move closer to Xun Shuang, so Xun Shuang will face the Yuan family directly...

If you don't take office, thank the emperor and retire - according to the current rules of the game in the Han Dynasty, the emperor can issue a summons again, or even a third time, until someone is recruited to take office...

Xun Shuang is so old, how can he still fight for his life to travel to Beijing again and again, and then come back, and then come back again - this way, as long as he comes a few more times, it is estimated that Xun Shuang can be exhausted on the road, Dong Zhuo's side He also gained a reputation for being eager for talent...

It was Xun Shuang who saw through Li Ru's vicious scheme, so he said that he was killed by Xun Yu this time...

What can you do if you see through, this matter is a proper conspiracy, there is nothing you can do, you can't break the situation...

Xun Yu put his head on the ground and didn't dare to look up in guilt. He really didn't expect this to happen.

"If you stand up, it is understandable to seek good fortune and avoid evil," Xun Shuang said. "The gentleman consolidates his life in an upright position. The matter has come to this point, and there is no other way."

Since you can't avoid it, you might as well greet it with dignity...

Xun Shuang looked at the portrait of Xunzi behind him and thought that the Xun family had been silent for too long, so now the world only knows the Yuan family and the Wang family, but they have forgotten the descendant of Xunzi that has been handed down since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - the Xun family, Perhaps this is also an opportunity for the Xun family...

Xun Shuang turned his head to look at Xun Yu, this outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Xun family, after being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "I will talk about it at the beginning of tomorrow, if you try it, can you?"

What?Xun Yu couldn't believe it. He originally thought that Xun Shuang would blame him heavily, but he didn't expect to let him do the first lecture of tomorrow's open class. This was originally only qualified for a powerful elder in the family. Why let him come?

Xun Shuang saw Xun Yu's doubts, and said: "My son, Biao, Di is not a great weapon, and he is really not worthy of a great responsibility, but you are knowledgeable, clear in advance and retreat, elegant, elegant, and wise, and you may be able to lead Xun's family in front of you. Okay." - Xun Shuang's remarks are almost an account of the funeral, saying that his own two sons, Xun Biao and Xun Di are not great weapons, while Xun Yu is a talented person, implying that Xun may be let in in the future. Yu inherits the position of the head of the family, and the leader Xun's family moves forward...

The words spoken by the contemporary patriarch Xun Shuang can be said to be quite weighty. Combined with what Xun Shuang said just now, letting Xun Yu speak at the beginning of tomorrow means giving Xun Yu a chance to gain prestige first, so that he can accept it smoothly. Pave the way for the next head of the household!
Xun Yu understood the meaning of Xun Shuang, and left the table to worship: "Follow the family order!" - This is the preferential policy given by the previous generation of family owners to the next generation of family owners, so it is called the family order, not the order of relatives and uncles...

Seeing that Xun Yu understood the meaning, Xun Shuang was going to let Xun Yu go back and prepare first, but before letting Xun Yu go, he suddenly remembered something and asked Xun Yu, "The Yuan family is still in Yangcheng?"

Xun Yu said, "It's still spreading rumors."

Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "How can prophecies represent state affairs? Inform Yangcheng's children and return to Yang Cui. Yuan family..." Xun Shuang didn't finish speaking, just shook his head, not knowing whether the Yuan family's move this time was not a good idea. Okay, do you still think the Yuan family might not be easy to deal with?
　The Xun family is the direct descendant of Xunzi's descendants in the Spring and Autumn Period... It's a pity that Xun Yu finally chose Cao Cao... The author is asking for a recommendation ticket for collection, this week's mosquito leg recommendation... I can only say that no matter how small a mosquito is, is it meat... Thanks for the cs09 book Friends, I will add another chapter tomorrow...
