The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 178
Kyushu in the world, Yuzhou is in the middle!
Since Dayu established the Nine Tripods and designated Kyushu, this piece of land with a large plain has been the center of the world.

From the perspective of geographical location, strategic value, tactical display, and grain and fodder transfer, Yuzhou is an indispensable place for the entire Han Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the land of Huaxia has been full of mountains and rivers, rich in water and soil.

In the era without industrial technology, mountains, rivers and rivers are like natural moats, blocking the space for tactics to be used, and adding difficulty to the world's hegemony.

The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou in the north are all places of bitter cold, and livelihoods are difficult.

Jiaozhou and Yangzhou in the south are still barren lands at this time, full of miasma and poisonous fog all year round, and there are few people.

Although Yizhou in the west has the reputation of the land of abundance, it is difficult to get through after all, and it is difficult to fully govern because of the fact that the Hu people and barbarians occupy the mountains as kings.

Therefore, the land of the Central Plains has always referred to the six places of Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Sili, and Xuzhou.

Among them, Yuzhou has the longest history, the most central location, and the greatest strategic value.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuzhou would become a battleground for heroes in the next few years, Lin Chao really wanted to persuade Liu Bei to lead Yuzhou Mu.

Among Yuzhou, there is even more Yingchuan, and Runan is the place where the world's powerful and noble families gather.

Today's gentry are naturally headed by the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family.

In addition, it is necessary to count the Yingchuan Xun family and the Chen family.

In addition to these two, Yingchuan also has the Zhong family where Zhong Yao belongs, the Guo family where Guo Tu and Guo Jia belong, and the Han family where Han Fu belongs...

The list goes on and on.

Although these gentry pride themselves on farming and studying as family heirlooms, how can they farm and study honestly, and they always have to do something secretly.

Among them, the most famous and effective two are mutual flattery and marriage.

It goes without saying that everyone is in the upper class, so it is natural for business to brag about each other in order to increase their popularity.

After becoming famous, the Qingyi circle will naturally give corresponding titles to protect their fame.

At this time, the imperial court usually confiscates more, so the key point comes.

I already have a reputation, so the next step is to become an official?

No, never!

Facing the imperial court's expropriation, of course he refused!
And it was rejected many times!
The more times you reject, the more you can prove that you are not greedy for power, and you will not bend your waist for five buckets of rice, the more famous your reputation will be!
Later, the so-called strength of character in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was mostly influenced by this time.

As long as you dare to refuse, the court will dare to continue to conquer, and every time you refuse, the next official position will definitely be higher!

The official position of a big man, as long as you have imagination, there is nothing you can't do except the emperor.

As for the second marriage, it is also a matter of course.

Still the same sentence, everyone is in the upper class, in addition to being equal in status, it is natural to have relatives, so that they can support each other in the court and gather together as a force.

Besides, if our children don't intermarry, can it be cheaper for those muddy legs?

They match too!

The famous Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu are the joint products of the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family.

Then as long as Yang Xiu is still there, the bond between the two families will not be broken, and the alliance between the two will naturally be the icing on the cake.

It's a pity that they ran into Cao Mengde, who had soldiers, generals and territory, and was unwilling to deal with these aristocratic families, so he cut Yang Xiu off with one knife.

……

Yingchuan, Yingyin County, Xunshi.

Chen Yuanfang has been very bored lately. Ever since he had put his will to die in the court in the first half of the year and angered the officials, he found that because of his words, everyone started a new round of power struggle, busy fighting for power and profit, and no one at all Pay attention to him.

So, he didn't die.

So, he was very disappointed.

Of course, no one is willing to fulfill him, he can't wipe his neck by himself.

Disheartened, Chen Ji abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, Yingchuan.

This stay lasted for another few months, but they had nothing to do all day long.

The older the others, the milder their temperament.

But Chen Ji is over sixty years old, but he is still hot-tempered, and he will vent his anger on anything he doesn't like.

In this regard, the whole family had no choice but to let him, follow him, and coax him. Even his son Chen Qun often persuaded him with a wry smile.

In recent days, Chen Ji suddenly heard the news that Emperor Liu Hong had passed away.

However, he was rarely sad or angry, but he didn't eat that night.

Early the next morning, I took Chen Qun from Xu County to Yingyin to visit Xun Shuang.

"Master Ci Ming knows that the emperor has passed away."

In the courtyard, after the ceremony was over, after the servants brought tea, Chen Ji went straight to the topic, but his expression was as usual, showing no signs of appeasement.

Xun Shuang was one year older than Chen Ji and had a gentle temperament. He nodded when he heard Chen Ji's words.

"I received a letter from Wen Ruo two days ago, which mentioned this matter."

Xun Shuang has always raised his nephew Xun Yu as the head of the next generation. Although they are uncles and nephews, they love each other like father and son.

Chen Ji said: "Duke Ciming, the late emperor passed away, he is still young, and there are eunuchs messing around with the government. The situation in this world is becoming more and more unbearable."

Compared to Chen Ji's worry, Xun Shuang sat quietly, even picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

Seeing that Xun Shuang neither made a statement nor spoke, Chen Ji became a little anxious.

"Mr. Ci Ming, you are talking!"

"Yuan Fang, what do you want someone to say?"

Xun Shuang asked with a smile on his face.

"This……"

"Ugh!"

Xun Shuang sighed with a smile, raised his head and looked up, but there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes.

The sun at noon in autumn is quite warm, but the breeze blowing around is very cool.

"The world will be in chaos, so what can we do?"

Xun Shuang looked at Chen Ji and said slowly.

"I don't agree with the words of Lord Ci Ming!" Chen Ji said with a serious face, "A man was born between heaven and earth, and he should help the society. In the current crisis, we should set things right, extend righteousness to the world, and help the building collapse! How can you retreat in the face of difficulties."

What Chen Ji said was righteous and stern, but Xun Shuang shook his head and smiled.

"I didn't expect Yuan Fang to be over [-] years old, and still have such ambitions, I admire it!"

When it came to age, Chen Ji, who was originally smug, suddenly became discouraged.

That's right, now I need someone to support me when I walk, no matter how ambitious I am, what's the use of it...

Xun Shuang bought a cup of tea, then withdrew his smile, and said seriously: "Yuan Fang, you and I are both old now, even if we want to help the world, we should leave it to the younger generations to do it. Long Wen, who has read poetry and books, is enough With your will, why worry.”

Chen Ji took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "Why is Lord Ciming so open-minded?"

Hearing this, Xun Shuang took out a roll of bamboo slips from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji took it and saw that it was "Spring and Autumn" written by Confucius.

"Someone has been studying recently. If there is governance, there will always be chaos. And the chaos will always come to an end. When the time comes, it will be governance again."

Xun Shuang stroked his beard and smiled, his voice was extremely peaceful.

"Thousands of years have passed since ancient times, and chaos and governance have alternated. This is a natural law, which cannot be changed by human power. It's just a pity that you and I should never see the day when the world is governed."

"But luckily..."

When Xun Shuang said this, he stopped.

And Chen Ji also understood what he meant.

Fortunately, capable people came out of the clan in large numbers, enough to inherit their aspirations, and finally put down the troubled times and bring order to the world.

Chen Ji stared at the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, silent.

Ups and downs follow each other, and the cycle goes on and on, never ending, and it has been the same since ancient times.

Even if it's him and Xun Ciming, after a thousand years, it's just a few lines of names on the bamboo slips...

As the saying goes,
The spring and autumn are combined, and the world can be seen at a glance.

That's all, that's all...
