Chapter 191

To say that the activists who assassinated Dong Zhuo were not only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

During Dong Zhuo's reign, Xun You also contacted Yilang Zhengtai, Changshi He Yong, Shizhong Zhongji, and Yueqi School Captain Wu Qiong with the intention of assassinating Dong Zhuo.

The official history is what happened after Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, but some deviations may have occurred in history, and they acted in advance.

Only the result was the same as in history, the matter was revealed, He Yong and Xun You were imprisoned, during which He Yong was worried about committing suicide, but Xun You was calm and composed.

Dong Zhuo walked in a hurry, not caring about the prisoners in the prison.

Perhaps in his opinion, the prisoner in the sky prison died as soon as he died.

"The past two days have been busy sorting out the books in Lantai, and I haven't paid attention to the situation in the sky prison. I hope Gongda will not be offended." Zhang He ordered someone to take Xun You out and prepare a change of clothes and food for him.

The latter also washed up and ate something before coming to meet Zhang He.

"Don't blame the Fujun for this matter. The Tianlao is not a good place in the first place, and no one will pay attention to it normally." Xun You replied, "This time I can defeat Dong Zhuo, Liu Shijun and Fujun should be the first!"

Xun You was in the prison, and after successfully calling for help, he immediately asked about the situation outside.

Dong Zhuo fled to the north, which is somewhat a pity, but the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to do.

It's just a little strange, Zhang He seems to have heard of him, and looks very familiar.

He called for help, but the soldiers who patrolled here did not dare to release them without authorization.

In desperation, I thought about asking their chief officer to come over, maybe he could explain a thing or two.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang He heard that he was asking for an interview, he not only immediately released himself, but also specially prepared a change of clothes and meals.

"The Eight Dragons of the Xun family are famous all over the world, and Gongda is even the best of the second generation." Zhang He said with a smile.

If he had a choice, he would prefer Xun Yu, after all, what Liu Bei lacked was an expert in politics.

Tian Feng is a talent in clerical and government affairs, but when it comes to developing the economy, stabilizing production and ensuring supplies, Xun Yu is even better.

In contrast, Xun You is a talent in the legal system, and he plays Confucian skin and legal bones very clearly. It should be said that he is a descendant of Xunzi.

Good at strategy, may be slightly deficient in governance and security of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhang He wanted to laugh a little. Liu Bei already had many top talents under his command without knowing it. When he met Xun You, he actually started to criticize him, and even felt a little disgusted.

At this moment, Xun You understood somewhat. Compared with himself, the Eight Dragons of Xun's family from his uncle's generation were indeed more famous.

As for him, it was only when He Jin was in power that in order to train his team, he recruited a group of scholars from all over to Luoyang to serve as Lang Guan.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for He Jin to have an accident, but Dong Zhuo was busy taking over Luoyang, and some officials resigned, and there was a shortage of manpower.

He Jin's old department, he has incorporated in the past, not to mention the scholars He Jin conquered.

Some people resigned and went back, and a few people like Xun You stayed behind, but they did not attach or submit to Dong Zhuo, but had other plans.

Zhang He was a little curious at the moment, why Xun You was in the prison.

After careful questioning, I realized that history happened ahead of schedule.

But if not, I'm afraid I won't meet him.

"Now that Gongda is released, what should we do next?" Zhang He asked.

"Your Majesty fell into the hands of Dong Thief, so it doesn't matter if he's an inappropriate official." Xun You shook his head, "I'm planning to return to my hometown in Yingchuan and concentrate on studying for a few more years."

You read a shitty book!Zhang He complained in his heart.

Xun Youdu is 34 years old this year, which is the age when he is most ambitious.

Go back to study for a few years, and you will be 40 years old. Do you still have to learn from Cheng Yu, who became an official Cao Cao in his 50s?
"Where, let's talk about reading, not to mention the collection of books in Lantai, Zhang's family also has a lot of books. It just so happens that the eldest brother is also short of manpower. After all, in Liangzhou, there are many warriors and few scholars... I don't know if you are willing to give in? "Zhang He took the initiative to invite.

To say that Xun You is a collateral line of the Xun family, the resources are not as many as Xun Yu's.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in his 30s and become the servant of the Huangmen because of He Jin's relationship.

It can be said that the Xun family in Yingchuan started their business in Xunshu, and with Xunshu's eight sons, they broke out in the name of Yingchuan Eight Dragons.

Just to avoid being involved in the struggle between party members and eunuchs, the eight finally chose to live in seclusion.

Since he is far away from the imperial court, he has no reputation but less power, and resources can only be tilted to a few people.

The descendants of the direct line don't get much resources. Xun You is the great-grandson of Xun Shu's brother.

Now that His Majesty is under the coercion of Dong Zhuo, and there are signs of chaos in the world, it will obviously be more difficult to take the official route.

If the heroes are divided and compete for the deer in the world, then it is inevitable to choose a wise master to serve.

With Xun's size, all parties must bet.

Liu Bei is a rising star. In just a few years, he became a shepherd in Liangzhou from a white body, and even occupied the Jingzhao area...

If Xun You is a direct descendant, then he may have to weigh it.

However, he is only a collateral. Since Zhang He offered the invitation, Xun You felt that there was no need to refuse.

Not to mention, Liu Bei is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

However, when Xun You was about to agree, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Finally, he handed over his hands and said to Zhang He: "Liu Shijun is a hero, and Xun also admires it, but his virtue is not worthy."

"This..." Zhang He didn't understand, did Xun You want to refuse?

"Xun has little talent and learning, and he doesn't expect to be famous under Liu Shijun's command, but only hopes to be a idler under the Fujun's command." Unexpectedly, Xun You changed the subject, but it caught Zhang He by surprise.

In the end, you didn't want to go to Liu Bei, but to go to me? !
"Gongda was joking. I'm under the command of the eldest brother. With your talent, it's too embarrassing." Zhang He said quickly, mainly because he was worried that Xun You couldn't figure it out for a while.

It's not good if you regret it later.

Xun You's idea is very simple, rather than serving Liu Bei who is not familiar with him, it is better to serve Zhang He who is familiar with him.

As Liu Bei's adopted brother, Zhang He will naturally achieve a lot in the future.

Besides, I was recommended by Zhang He to be an official, so it is said that I am also a member of his faction.

Taking a ten thousand step back, Xun You knew very well that even if he had good knowledge, if he had no experience in politics, it might not be a good thing to rise to a high position suddenly.

"Xun Moukong is talented, but has no political experience, so he should accumulate slowly." Xun You replied.

Xun You insisted so much, Zhang He didn't say anything, and immediately appointed him as the governor of Hanyang and the military adviser of the army.

But now there is nothing to do in the army, so Xun You also joined in transcribing books.

"You don't quite understand why the Fu Jun copied all the works of various schools of thought?" Xun You looked around, feeling a little complicated.

Mainly in these works, he saw "Xunzi".

Of course, strictly speaking, "Xunzi" belongs to the Confucian classics.

Even though Xunzi's disciples are all famous legalists, Xunzi himself is a Confucian student.

"There are too few left in the world!" Zhang He replied, "If you don't copy a copy and take it away, if something happens in Luoyang in the future and the books are destroyed, many of these books will be out of print!"

"What do you think of the various schools of thought?" Xun You asked curiously.

"There must always be a standard for the imperial court to select scholars, and the court must have only one voice, but it does not mean that each school has no strengths. Learn from each other's strengths to make up for its weaknesses, but Confucius... Confucius said it all." Zhang He replied.

In a positive sense, only the voice of one school of thought in the imperial court is correct, otherwise there will be parliamentary violence like Wanwan.

There is no way to quickly implement government affairs, and even several schools of thought hold each other back.

This matter is not exclusive to Confucianism, and it will appear in various schools of thought.

Confucianism is originally a hodgepodge, and it is relatively inclusive, and can absorb various schools of thought.

Even if opinions differ, they can be controlled within a reasonable range.

From this point of view, it is true that Confucianism is exclusive.

But in Zhang He's view, it's not a mistake to only respect Confucianism, but dismissing all schools of thought is the biggest mistake.

What the imperial court needs are comprehensive talents, and the majors are too specific, and it is not enough to simply rely on acquired positions to adapt.

"But if all scholars come from Confucianism, how can people from other schools become officials?" Xun You didn't understand.

Since you can't be an official, what's the use of reading these books?

Over time, if there are no learners, then these knowledge will lose their inheritance.

"I do have some ideas, for example, to set up a special exam, so that all scholars can come to the exam. Only those who pass the exam can become an official. At the same time, according to some special positions, set up special exams, so that specialized talents can be qualified if they have the opportunity. To be an official." Zhang He replied.

He also had some ideas, and he popularized the imperial examinations in his own lifetime.

At that time, some professional talents will be specially recruited, so that the books of various schools of thought will be useful.

In particular, these are the treasures of Chinese civilization and the crystallization of the wisdom of major thinkers.

Even if they may be out of date, they still have the value of preserving and collecting.

It is also uncertain, sometime in the future, maybe hundreds or thousands of years.

When human society develops to a certain level, looking back, it turns out that a certain idea and a certain normality were proposed by the ancestors of China tens of thousands of years ago.

Or, because these books are well preserved, people in the future can avoid detours for hundreds of years.

The future is not known, and it may not be the case.

But it is the continuation of these books that can make everything 'possible'.

"Does that mean that the procuratorial system must be abolished?" Xun You was a little surprised, and Zhang He's thoughts were a little wild.

"It's not enough to abolish..." Zhang He thought for a while, "To a certain extent, they can complement each other, not completely conflict."

The scholar who raised the most observations will get a certain amount of extra points.

No matter what dynasty, the exam has never been really fair.

That is to say, the admission scores of college entrance examinations in different provinces in later generations are all different.

Needless to say, in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu even specially set up a certain quota for the admission of northern scholars.

Otherwise, the court would have been occupied by scholars from the south within a few years, and the scholars from the north would not be able to compete with others if they wanted to become an official.

In essence, this unfairness is a kind of geographical protection.

However, it is naturally unfair to the regions that have been forced to increase their admission scores.

As for the examination, since he is Xiaolian, he must have a good character and background. It is normal to get some extra points in the imperial examination!

But even if you come from a poor family, or even ordinary people, as long as you are willing to put in the time to study, you still have a chance to be named on the gold list.

Compared with this era, it is already considered advanced.

It's just that the way of learning must be expanded, such as public academies, such as libraries...

All of these take a lot of time to do. Fortunately, the main pressure of fighting and governing is concentrated on Liu Bei's side.

Normally speaking, I should have a lot of time to mess around with some messy things.

If Liu Bei passes this proposal, the final pressure will fall on the various officials, and at most they will supervise themselves.

Just say this, isn't it more comfortable than being a monarch directly?
"So that's why it is said that Xun is a great talent, but the Fujun is the real great talent!" Xun You bowed solemnly.

If Zhang He's plan can come true, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the heirs of various schools of thought.

This is not only as simple as having the opportunity to become an official, but more importantly, it represents the theories of various schools, and there is a high probability that they will be passed on.

Just for this future, Xun You felt that he had to do his best to help Zhang He achieve this goal!

"This matter is not a small matter, and everything has to be considered in the long term. But if Gongda is willing to help, it will be easier." Zhang He is also accepting Xun You's allegiance at this moment.

Since he is so humble, if he wants to improve in a down-to-earth manner, why should he stop him.

If you evade too much, people might think that they despise him, and it is a real loss that they run away in the end!
 Xun You's grandfather was Xun Shu's elder brother. If Xun Shu's side is a direct descendant, and several sons are known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, then Xun You's lineage is really a collateral line.He became a Lang Guan at the age of 40 or [-], which shows that resources are really scarce.

  To say that the Xun family did have a bet. Originally, Xun Yu went to Yuan Shao's side, but later changed to Xun Chen.

  But after deducting this, the other children basically served under Cao Cao.

  There is Xun Zheng under Yuan Shu's command, but it is a pity that it is fictionalized by Yan Yi.

  Although Xunzi is a Confucianist, he is not the Zuo Confucian school.

  If the Yingchuan Xun family does not make changes, it will be really difficult to get ahead in the Eastern Han Dynasty...

  History is that Dong Zhuo didn't start until he arrived in Chang'an, I was a little earlier, otherwise it would have to wait a few years before I could recruit him, which would be too late.

  Another interesting thing I found was that there was a kind of gang among the people who planned Dong Zhuo in Xun You, but the matter was revealed and sent to prison, but the gang was fine.Later, he gradually became the confidant of Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others, and slandered Duan Yao together.

  Later, Yidaizhao, the person Dong Cheng was looking for also had a traitor, but the matter was revealed again, but this time he was wiped out of the three clans.

  Although there is no evidence, I feel that this matter is really a coincidence.

  After Calvin died, I wrote two chapters. It was seven o'clock, so I went to bed first, and I got up to see the situation before writing another chapter.

  The main reason is that these two chapters add up to more than 6000 words...
