Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 669 Discussing Yuan Shao

"Father came to offer sacrifices to Yuan Shao, and of course he didn't show it to the people of Jizhou, so he must have something to warn the child."

"That's right. Then let me ask you, how did Yuan Shao manage to occupy the four states and become the head of the princes? How could he only end up with this pile of loess?"

This problem is too big, Zhou Xin thought for a moment before saying: "The Yuan family's four generations and three princes have a prominent reputation, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world, so there are many people who depend on them. At that time, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the world was in turmoil, and the people thought about it In Taiping, civil and military men hoped to find the Lord, so they all responded. Han Fu, Gongsun Zan, etc. were neither his opponents nor understood the current affairs, so they were wiped out by him. However, Yuan Shao's subordinates were mixed, and they could not be distinguished. Xun Yu and Guo Jia abandoned him and voted for Cao Cao because he couldn't claim his position."

"It's good to have insight at this age." Zhou Cang was very pleased.

"So after Yuan Shao occupied the four prefectures, he seemed to have many soldiers and plenty of food and grass. In fact, his internal worries were greater than external troubles. If at this time, he could select talents and appoint talents internally, connect princes externally, welcome the emperor at the top, and educate the people at the bottom He can still make some achievements. It's a pity that he believes in Shenpei, Fengji, Guo Tu and others. The feudal lords are of the same mind? That’s why Guandu was defeated.” Even though it was in front of Yuan Shao’s tomb, Zhou Xin’s comments were not polite at all. "In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao made mistakes again and again with his troops, but Cao Cao made no major mistakes and his father helped him. It was dangerous and dangerous to win."

Zhou Cang sighed, why not, General Hua Xiong was killed in Wuchao.

"What my child is most puzzled about is why Yuan Shao divided the four prefectures among the princes to divide and rule them. One country and three princes seek chaos. Listening to Mr. Sun Qian's history lectures for my child, my child once thought that Yuan Shao might think that there is no hope of unifying the world, and he just wanted to stay in trouble. One corner? I’m afraid that’s wishful thinking. Or Yuan Shao wanted to follow the Shang and Zhou dynasties and return to the system of enfeoffing feudal vassals, but Xiang Yu has proved that this is an act against the trend. Or Yuan Shao has a heart for his son, so that each son has his own land? However, the heroic King Wuling of Zhao at that time caused a struggle for the throne because he inherited the country from Prince He, and he was starved to death in the palace in the sand dunes." Zhou Xin stared at Yuan Shao's tomb, wanting to find an answer.

King Wu Ling took Wu Wa as his wife in 16 years, and he was very favored.So the Prince Zhang was abolished and the prince born to Wu Wa was established as King Zhao Hui.Seeing that the eldest son, Zhang, was tall and tall, but he became a vassal to his younger brother, King Wu Ling felt pity in his heart, and planned to separate Dai from Zhao, and let his son Zhang be king in Dai Jianguo, which eventually led to a rebellion.Hu Fu rode and shot to lead Zhao Guo to the mighty King Wuling of Zhao, but he starved to death, which is sad and lamentable.

Zhou Cang sighed: "Emperor Gaozu made a rule that no one with the surname of Liu should be called king. During Emperor Jing, there was a rebellion by King Wu, and his ancestor Zhou Yafu put it down, so Emperor Wu issued a decree of grace."

"My child thinks that it's not about being king, but about power."

Zhou Cang shook his head, "It's not only about power, but also about fame. People with ulterior motives will use their names to do bad things."

In the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the Zhu family could only be kept in captivity in the fiefdom, and they could not leave the fiefdom without the edict; while in the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Aixinjueluo had to be in the capital, and they could not leave the capital without the edict.

Zhou Cang really didn't think about how to treat his sons.Restricting power is one aspect, but as a son, there will naturally be a large number of followers around him. Which of these followers would not want their master to be in power, so that they can have the merits of a dragon and become prosperous from now on?Why are so many people willing to follow Chong'er to wander around? Isn't it because they are optimistic that Chong'er will become the lord of Jin in the future?
"If you were Yuan Shao, how would you treat Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang?"

The difficulty of this question made Zhou Xin ponder for a long time. "My boy will not let the three be the lords of the states, but select capable ministers and officials to serve as the governors of the states. Use them according to their talents, either as generals or as officials, but they must be treated equally with others..."

"It's good for you to think so, but after all, their identities are different, how can civil and military people get along with him on an equal footing?"

Facing Zhou Cang's aggressiveness, Zhou Xin was defeated. "The child really doesn't know."

"If he can clean himself up and take care of himself, it's all right. How many people in the world can do it? How many people have started well and ended well?" Zhou Cang sighed softly. "Do you remember what I told you about a constitutional monarchy?"

"My child remembers."

"After thinking about it for the father, this is the only way to solve it. It can not only protect the country forever, but also protect the friendship between father and son and brothers."

The father and son sat cross-legged on the ground like this, Zhou Cang saw that Zhou Xin was thinking hard, so he didn't continue talking.In the distance, Dianman is seizing every moment to compete with Lu Fengxian in martial arts.

An hour later, Zhou Xin slowly raised his head. "The child understands."

"It's good to understand. It's a pity, how many people in the world can understand?" Zhou Cang said in a deep voice: "I have spent 20 years in Xuzhou to educate people's hearts. Yingzhou is preparing to spread this way, but the world is so big that it is too urgent to do it, and it will take another three to fifty years to do it. I am lucky to be able to calm the world in my lifetime, and the great prosperity of this way depends on you."

"Children should obey their father's teachings."

"Zhou Wen and others have been with me for a long time, but their thoughts are deeply ingrained, so they can only be taught slowly. Yang Rui, Duan Muling and others have been deeply influenced by me, and they need to be added on demand. This time I bring you out, one is for experience , and the second is that you have to teach the people around you to use it for yourself."

"My son understands." Zhou Xin nodded and said, "My son also understands why my father values ​​Zhou Xin and Jiang Gan so much."

"Actually, what I value is Jinyiwei and Xuanfusi. If these two places are used well, they are worth more than [-] soldiers! But if they are not used well, it will be a bloody storm. You have to keep this in mind. As for employing people, they are nothing more than people." There's a big difference between making the best use of him and putting him in the right place, rather than giving someone a job because of his ability."

What is the difference between the two, Zhou Xin couldn't figure it out for a while, and his face was confused.Zhou Cang further explained: "My father initially set up seven divisions in Xuzhou, and now there are nine divisions. Divisions."

"Haha." Zhou Cang smiled and stood up and patted Zhou Xin on the shoulder. "You still have a long way to go, maybe you will have a better way. But I can tell you that my strategy can last at least a thousand years."

"I have another question, my son. My father ordered Wang Can to go to Jianye to persuade Sun Quan to become king. If Sun Quan also persuaded his father to become king, what should father do?"

"Let's leave it to them to discuss. Xu, Qing, Bing, Ji, You, Ji, and Ying are governors of the seven prefectures, governors of the seven armies, and heads of the nine divisions. There are 23 people in total. If more than half of them think that they should be king, I will not refuse any more. "
