Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 821
The emperor didn't stay in the Shen Garden for long, he sat for half an hour, and more than half of the time was spent reading out the imperial edict by the servants who followed him.As for the content of the imperial edict, it is also a cliché. It is nothing more than to praise Shen Zhezi's achievements, and at the same time call on these young people here to use it as an example, to be diligent in the affairs of the king, and to use it in a worthy manner.

These young people here are still quite excited about being able to see the king in person.Later, some young people with noble ranks also went up to the ninth floor to pay their respects.Sitting behind the imperial case, the emperor looked at Shen Zhezi frequently with resentful eyes.He really had enough of such boring scenes.As for Guanglan Shaoxian Yunyun, in more than a quarter of an hour, he interviewed more than 200 people, whose names and appearances could not be remembered, and he was able to read a fart.

Regarding the emperor's resentment, Shen Zhezi was really helpless.Taichung was very guarded against him, and after leaving the garden, he did not give him too many opportunities to contact the emperor.He originally planned to help the emperor reshape the three views while he was alone, especially not to let this kid distort a good seedling of his own.As a result, the courtiers followed him all the way, and the itinerary was also packed after arriving at the Star Picking Tower.

Just after Haishi, someone from Taichung came to welcome the emperor back to his garden.Seeing the emperor going downstairs dejectedly and boarding the chariot with a sad face, Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling a little sad and ashamed in his heart.He invited the emperor to come out of the court, and he also wanted to let the boy relax, but he was picked up without even serving a decent meal.

Shen Zhezi was really dissatisfied with these behaviors in Taichung.Of course, Shen Zhezi knew what kind of person his brother-in-law was.Even if he has any political intentions, he will not rely on the emperor to achieve them.What's more, if he really has such thoughts, the ministers will not be able to stop him at all.It is also necessary to adopt such an attitude, probably to affirm that the emperor belongs to everyone, and Shen Zhezi will never be allowed to rely on himself alone.

After sending the emperor away, Shen Zhezi became less interested because of the current situation where the emperor was being coerced.He simply didn't go back to the Zhaixing Building, but just sent someone to announce that there would be banquets in the Zhaixing Building in the next few days, and he would be there at that time, and then he went back directly to Shen Gongfang.

Although both the emperor and the son-in-law left, the atmosphere in the building dropped slightly.However, after hearing the news from Shen's family that the banquet would last for many days, the crowd cheered up again.After all, they did everything possible to come to the Zhaixing Building, mainly because they wanted to show themselves in front of the son-in-law. Especially the emperor's arrival added a lot of political significance to this gathering. Only by extending the time can they have more opportunities to stand out from the crowd.

Shen Zhezi wanted to hold a gathering in the Shen Garden, and it wasn't just a matter of simply gathering people together to eat, drink, and have fun.In addition to the reason that Princess Xingnan told the emperor, there is another point that Shen Zhezi himself has been terribly disturbed recently.

Since Shen Zhezi's return to the capital, there has been an endless stream of people seeking to see each other every day, and there are countless people who have posted posts.Moreover, those who want to contribute as disciples are no longer limited to Hanshu families, and even the children of some aristocratic families are eager to contribute.

It is not uncommon to wait in line at the door of Shen's house every day for an interview, and some more radical ones even break through the wall, just to get a chance to show their talents in front of Shen Zhezi's door, so that the daily life of Shen's family is greatly affected.

The reason why these young people are so enthusiastic is, on the one hand, naturally because Shen Zhezi has a high reputation, and on the other hand, it also shows a very profound social problem, that is, the current Eastern Jin Dynasty provides young people with a serious lack of promotion channels.Even the children of the family who are also privileged classes need to get more opportunities by offering themselves as slaves.

Now in Jiangdong, although the selection system is still the ninth-rank official law, occasionally there are still procuratorial examinations in prefectures and counties.But even the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law is not rigorously enforced, intermittently.Although there are still Zhongzhengs in the states and counties, and township reviews are held from time to time, but due to the severe factional struggles and strife in the past few years, the official and personal laws are useless.At that time, most people had to stand in teams to get enough opportunities and space for advancement.

Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi did not deny that the rise of the Shen family actually exacerbated this atmosphere.A large number of Wu people's children, especially Wu Xing's family, entered the current situation through the deeds of the Shen family.This is unavoidable. As a leader, one must have the obligation to provide opportunities for followers.I don't have enough distribution here myself, so how can I have an impartial attitude to support others?
Therefore, in the current situation, the Shen family is actually no different from other ruling sects in the selection and appointment of personnel. They all gather a group of followers to divide the interests of the current situation and then share them. Be more vicious.

This method of employing people is indeed a kind of self-consolidation, but it is also a kind of self-limitation. If appropriate changes cannot be made at the right time, then the future of the Shen family is at best just another family. Its source of strength and organizational form are doomed. This growth ceiling cannot be broken.

The current advantage of the Shen family is that it not only has a strong local foundation, but also holds a part of the power in Jiangbei.Moreover, the Huai Shang War in the past also proved that Shen Zhezi was qualified as a leader.Combining so many advantages in one body, there is no one comparable at present, so it naturally becomes the first choice for people to enter.

To unite a group of people to form a relatively stable organization, one lies in interests, and the other lies in belief.There is nothing to talk about in terms of benefits, ranging from the manifestation of one person's value to the rise and rejuvenation of the entire family, the opportunities that the Shen family can provide in this regard have obvious advantages.

But when it comes to faith, it is profound.A considerable part of the reason for the hundreds of years of great division in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was that this was an era of lack of faith.Arming and organizing a group of people, but failing to provide a widely recognized belief value, is simply a disaster.

In the era of chaos and chaos, the military power in the north was absolutely dominant, but the frequency of regime change was far faster than that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south.This is because although the clans and clans alternately governed and emptied the imperial power, at least they recognized the existence of the emperor.But in the north, who cares about this.

Just like what the warlords of the Five Dynasties in troubled times said, the son of heaven, the one with the strongest soldiers and horses should do it.Without the concept of allegiance to the imperial power, once you have power, you want to replace it.These Hu and Han army leaders are not the kind of trolls who are good at words and clumsy in action. Once they have an idea, they will do it. Once they do it, it will be blood and tears for decades!
After Liu Yu usurped the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Zuo imperial power and legal system were not in place, and the political turmoil in the south was not inferior to that in the north, or even worse.During this period, both the north and the south had the phenomenon of large-scale mummification of Buddhas, which can be regarded as an attempt to reshape beliefs.

Therefore, the problem facing Shen Zhezi right now, besides maintaining the posture and rhythm of continuing to advance triumphantly, is to integrate the thinking of the revolutionary team.Although he had been shouting for the Northern Expedition to kill slaves and restore China, such slogans were more of a superficial emotional catharsis, and could not reach the height of the righteous program.

In the current situation, Director Wang has also shouted, and in the original history, the ruling elites not only flaunted it, but also mostly implemented it in action.But no one was able to fully implement it, so in many cases, the Northern Expedition was reduced to a means rather than a goal.

The Shen family is now a big platform that can provide a lot of opportunities for the people of the time, especially Shen Zhezi, who is flocked to by the people of the time.As far as Shen Zhezi is concerned, more talents are indeed needed to join in the great cause.But I have to admit the fact that too many people just want to use the Shen family to realize their own life value and satisfy their own interests. As for being able to advance and retreat together, it is very little.

The irreversible decline of the Langya Wang family is a good example. The world has undergone drastic changes, and ups and downs are inevitable. No matter how prosperous the family is, it is false. A smooth landing requires sufficient political wisdom.To be honest, if it weren't for the Langya Wang family and Wang Dao at the helm, Shen Zhezi would have completely brought down the Wang family just this time.

This kind of predicament was also in front of the Shen family.If Shen Zhezi wants to expand the situation in Huainan and Henan, he must have more talents to join in.If the people of the time wanted to obtain more opportunities, they also needed such a channel as the Shen family.However, this demand relationship between each other is not bound by morality, and they can abandon each other at any time.

It should be said that the predicament faced by the Shen family is greater than that of the Langya Wang family.Because Shen Zhezi was on the front line of the Northern Expedition, he not only had to bear political risks, but also military risks.Once there is any instability in the rear, it will directly affect the frontal battlefield.

If only pro-old township parties are selected, mutual dependence and loyalty are guaranteed, but they will fall into the rut of self-limitation and insufficient development.If you are inclusive and include all talents, the speed of situation development may be gratifying, but the stronger you are, the more hidden dangers you may have, and the good situation may be ruined at once.As strong as Liu Yu, it is difficult to solve such a dilemma.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi needed some extraordinary means to let these people get on the boat, but they couldn't just get off the boat.He needs to set off an ideological struggle, and he may not need to win immediately, but he can purify his team and put a distinctive label on his followers.

Although in this way, he will be placed as a focus of material disputes, but with his current momentum and reputation, even if there are some material disputes, it will not cause too much practical trouble.And there is another advantage in being in such a controversy. With every victory on the battlefield, he can prove himself right, and the loyalty of the team honed will be higher.
