Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2416 Sanjin Separation

  When Fei Qian and Pang Tong were discussing some serious topics, Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, also had similar worries.

   This trouble comes from a letter from home.

  In other words, the question elicited by this letter from home.

   This is a letter from Wen County.

  As the Sima family's investment in Feiqian continued to increase, Wen County Sima's body suffered some discrimination. Although it is not an unforgivable sin for brothers to serve in different camps at present, it does not mean that other people have no grudges against this situation.

  In history, when Zhuge Liang was in power under Liu Bei, Sun Quan deliberately sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Sichuan and Sichuan. If it weren’t for the two brothers who knew Sun Quan’s small belly and chicken heart, there was also a tacit understanding between them...

Although Sun Quan said that "Gu and Ziyu have a vow of life and death, and Ziyu is worthy of Gu, just as Gu is worthy of Ziyu", but in fact, if Zhuge Jin did anything out of the ordinary during his mission, he would be punished by Zhuge Jin. Sun Quan's temperament is afraid that Zhuge Jin's family in Jiangdong will not be safe.

  Now Sima in Wen County is facing such a situation.

  In history, Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to become an official, but now it is replaced by Sima Lang.

  In history, the reason why Sima Yi became an official was not entirely because of Sima Yi's talent, and now the reason why Sima Lang is asked to become an official is also not only because of Sima Lang's talent.

Before Cao Cao and Fei Qian, it seemed that the contradictions were not so big, and there was no such urgent need to stand in line. Many families were like Sima, looking here and there, but as the confrontation deepened, they Just like many so-called free competitions in later generations showed a monopoly tendency in the end, Feiqian Guanzhong Sanfu oppressed the gentry children under his command to bow their heads, and Cao Cao also required some "neutral" gentry families to express their views in Yuzhou, Jizhou.

   Now that I have become an official, many things have to be avoided...

   Then some matters that could have been left and right in the name of neutrality must be put down.

  For example, the caravan of the Sima family.

   In the final analysis, it is still a question of interests.

  In fact, Sima Hui also felt some signs vaguely.

  If it was said that Sima Hui gave Fei Qian the title of "Hidden Kun" in the past, he just hit three shots first, but now I feel that this title is really too appropriate. When the Kun was hiding in the abyss, no one would notice anything was wrong, just like when Fei Qian began to lay out the North Land, only when the Kun began to surface, everyone would feel the huge pressure on their faces.

   Examination, followed by the evaluation of officials.

   Dabi, followed by Qinglong Temple's Dalun.

   Three years of planning, followed by a comprehensive review and rating of officials.

The rebellion in the    area was followed by the suppression and division of the local big households.

  Fei Qian is also carrying out political advancement and institutional reform step by step. A brand-new Dahan political group system is gradually forming, developing, and growing.

  And such a brand new political system will inevitably have a huge conflict of interest with the old group...

   It is not only Pang Tong who is thinking about the future political situation in advance, Sima Hui and others are no exception.

With the various policies, systems, and laws of the Eastern and Western Shangshuling, there are more and more differences between the old and new political groups, and when the differences between the East and the West become more and more acute, everyone in the big Han must Faced with this problem, should we choose the east wind or rely on the west wind...

  Wen County’s letter, although it is said that this point is not directly marked in the text, but in fact this is the meaning between the lines, and I want to confirm it through Sima Hui’s reply.

   As for the Son of Heaven...

  To be honest, in the current era of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven is not that important anymore. Although today's son is in Xu County, his surname is Liu, his name is Xie, and he is called Bohe, and he calls himself Zhen every day, and others also call His Majesty Shengming three kneeling and nine kowtowing, but in reality...

   It is just some superficial maintenance.

   It's like the respected Emperor Zhou during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

   It is said to be the co-lord of the world, but this title is left.

   All of Sima knew this. The other families are much the same.

If Fei Qian and Cao Cao have already determined the outcome, then everyone doesn't need to bother, and rushes forward, holding the robes, holding the robes, dusting the dust, licking the feet, the boss eats. Meat, my brother can just drink soup, but it is uncomfortable to confront such things.

  If the winner has already been determined, even if the winner wants to make some big moves, it is not a big problem even if he chooses another emperor. In fact, this kind of operation is considered a basic operation in the minds of the gentry children, and it is not worth making a fuss at all. Just like when Dong Zhuo said that Liu Bian was a coward and let Liu Xie take over, in the end, wouldn't the children of the gentry pay homage in the same way?

  How can the emperor of Han still have any majesty at all, just like the emperor of Zhou in ancient times. Zhou Tianzi was divided into three families, and now Han Tianzi is a tripartite confrontation. It seems a little different, but what is the difference in reality?

  Perhaps since Emperor Han Ling, the majesty of the emperor of Han has been pushed to the ground and rubbed.

  If you go further...

   It is not impossible to consider.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Dong Zhongshu to expand the dominance of the imperial power, hidden dangers were planted. The so-called "Son of Heaven", since it is the son of the destiny, is like the Zhou Tianzi who had the surname Ji in those days. Destiny's Child, there is no big deal...

Hussar General Fei Qian's troops, as we all know, are not many in number, and it's not like Lao Cao's classmate. The movement is 100,000 to 200,000, and 801,000 can shout loudly. But regardless of the small number, the actual combat power is not in vain. Judging from the results of the rapid quelling of the rebellion in Longxi and other places, the current strength of the hussars is enough to support such a large territory.

   Force, yes.

   What about Wenzhi?

   Not bad either.

  Zheng Xuan, who was most disliked by Sima Hui back then, is now also under Fei Qian's command. Coupled with the revision of the annotations of the scriptures this time, it is almost possible to confirm Guanzhong's cultural status. Even higher than the originally proud Shandong gentry system.

  Cai’s collection of books, Jingxiang Pang Degong’s endorsement, plus Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui’s annotations, are almost the top existence of Han culture.

  Wu has iron cavalry from east to west, and literature has classics covering north and south. Unknowingly, the mentality of these gentry children in Guanzhong, including Sima Hui, has changed a lot.

  However, General Hussars did not express his opinion!

  Fei Qian did not directly express his ambitions. At least until now, it seems that the emperor is the most important and the great man is the pride. This makes the Sima family, including Sima Hui and Sima Yi, more or less unable to see through...

To be honest, if Sima Hui is now in Fei Qian's position, it may be difficult to hold back the further attraction. With a wave of his hand, Wan Junjing will follow, and a little further forward, the world seems to be on the verge of In the palm of your hand, not everyone can resist this kind of temptation.

  So Wen County’s letter apparently asked Sima Hui and Sima Yi and others whether they were doing well in Guanzhong, but actually asked Sima whether it was better to choose Feiqian, or whether Cao Cao had a brighter future.

  Sima Hui turned to look at Sima Yi who was putting down the letter, nodded on the table and said, "What does Zhong Da think?" How should I respond? 』

  Sima Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "My nephew once said in front of the lord's seat that he used the fact that Pei's son escaped to thoroughly investigate the officials... If there are lawbreakers, they can be cut off..."

  Sima Yi emphasized the sound of "lawless".

  Sima Hui pondered for a while, and seemed to understand Sima Yi's hidden meaning, so he raised his gray eyebrows, "How?" 』

  『My lord refuses. ’ Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

  『Oh…』 Sima Hui breathed out, 『Reject it? This is really...'

  Si Mayi nodded.

  The two were silent for a moment.

Just like what Fei Qian had speculated before, Sima Yi's advice on Pei Yuan's matter at that time, apart from the superficial remonstrance against Pei Yuan and such things, there were also some expressions of loyalty and attitudes. test.

  The allegiance is very simple. It was Sima Yi who expressed his willingness to be the eagle dog...

  The temptation was very subtle, it was to take Pei Yuan's opportunity to see if Fei Qian had the intention to become king on his own.

Just like when Yuan Shao fled to Shandong at the Dongmen Hanging Festival, Pei Yuan would be regarded as Yuan Shao's second by the Shandong people to promote and advocate. If Fei Qian had ambitions to go further, then naturally he would not. Isn't it the right time to allow such things to happen under one's command, take this opportunity to purge the team, and unify their thinking?

Just like many corrupt criminals in later generations, their corruption behavior is not a one-time event, nor is it a day or two, and some even stretches over several places, lasting more than ten or twenty years. No one found it, no one reported it?

   So, why?

  Sima Hui looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "If the sky is merciful, why is the winter so cold? If the sky is merciless, why is spring so warm and the flowers bloom?" Heaven, so, destiny, why? 』

  Sima Yi glanced at Sima Hui, and then frowned, "Uncle, this theory of destiny is already a prophecy, but it's a lie...the five virtues in the world may have an end, but they don't enter reincarnation, regardless of replacement..."

  After all, Sima Yi still bears the title of "Terminator of the Five Virtues of Reincarnation".

  Although it is said that the current "five virtues reincarnation" has not yet been finalized whether it is a fallacy and should not be abolished, but in the Guanzhong Sanfu area, there is relatively no market.

  『Okay...』 Sima Hui nodded and said, 『The snow is falling and the cold is accumulating, the fields are sclerotic, and the spring is about to melt. It can be removed by manpower, and it can be plowed by cattle and horses. Now, neither people nor cattle and horses are used. Why? 』

  It could have been achieved in a simple way, why not do it now?

   This is the question now posed to Sima and his family.

   What exactly does Fei Qian want to do?

   Is it a loyal minister, or a powerful minister, or...

  Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said: "The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the scorching sun melts the snow, so that it will come naturally?" 』

  『It’s a matter of course? ”Sima Huiba smacked his lips, “Probably also…”

  During the question and answer between the two, they were deducing and guessing the answers derived from the words and deeds of Hussar General Fei Qian.

Just like what Sima Yi said, there are many new political institutions in Feiqian, and there are also many new systems that are different from the previous big Han. These institutions and systems allow more people to participate in the political system, not just the previous gentry The disciple system also includes more aspects. It is like digging a canal. There may be no water flow at the beginning, but after all communication is completed, it will definitely attract rivers of water.

   These things, Sima and Ma may not be able to judge whether they are right or wrong.

  One is the struggle and integration of old and new political interest groups.

  Although Fei potential has made a lot of adjustments in this aspect, the emerging military meritorious service will inevitably erode the old political groups. The rebellion in Longyou Hanzhong and other places is actually a manifestation of this contradiction.

At present, the rebellion is suppressed and the locality is peaceful, but this does not mean that this problem has been completely dissolved. After the promotion of the "4321" structure of the Longyou new government, if the interests in it cannot be reconciled smoothly, there is still a possibility of another outbreak conflict…

   Of course, there is no doubt that Feiqian has won the support and support of many people.

  Especially the soldiers, the poor families, those groups who have newly entered the political system of the Han Dynasty, are almost die-hard loyalists of Fei Qian.

There are also the sons of the gentry who don't get much space from the Shandong gentry, and now they are also investing in Feiqian here, but logically speaking, Feiqian should open the door to accept all rivers, but Feiqian prefers to use the examination system Stopped a lot of people...

   These people may not dare to say that they failed the exam, so they turned around and went back to Shandong after hitting a wall on Fei Qian's side, spouting and portraying Fei Qian as a vicious, cruel and incompetent guy.

   This also made the two of Sima somewhat incomprehensible.

   Shouldn't it be accumulating popularity?

  Actually, Feiqian's "popularity" does exist, but it just increases the common people, and this is not within the scope of Sima's consideration, nor is it within the consideration of many gentry...

   Ants, why worry?

  Sima Hui's hesitation now is because he feels that General Hussar's method may be used in the Sanfu area of ​​Guanzhong, but he is not sure that this method can be used in the whole world of Han.

  Sima Yi's hesitation is due to Zai Feiqian's attitude...

  A phase has a phase goal.

   One step at a time?

   Once you have a goal, you have the direction of struggle.

  According to the logic, the next step is to go up the stairs that Fei Qian is standing on now, but Fei Qian didn't make any movements, and sometimes even behaved a little confused...

  In Sima Yi's perception, it was like deliberately giving up some opportunities. This kind of waste made Sima Yi feel a little heartbroken.

  But this relatively chaotic pattern seems to be attracted by a magnet, or the slow moves on Go, after a period of time, they gather together and point in a certain direction.

For example, some laws and regulations promulgated by Fei Qian seem to have no connection in themselves, and they didn’t feel much importance at first, but after a while, people will find out that a road has been erected around them. A fence, a fence, a ditch, and then standardized, can only go in one direction.

  This kind of thing happened several times in a row, which also made Sima and the two couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

But for a gentry family, it's just pure emotion and doesn't mean much. Only by seeing some changes in the upper class in advance, perceiving its goals and directions, and then reaching an agreement with them, can we seize that opportunity in the chaotic situation , and then grow the entire family.

  Now Wen County's letter is to confirm this to Sima Hui implicitly. Whether the chance is greater with Cao Cao or with Fei Qian.

Sima Hui and Sima Yi both know that it is indeed time to clarify this matter, because the situation in the future may be even more troublesome. Some things really need to be planned in advance, otherwise there will be a choice in the future. Hesitation can be bad.

  『Ahhh…』Sima Hui took a deep breath as if thinking of something.

  『Master Uncle…』 Sima Yi looked at Sima Hui.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were all relatives, and all belonged to the king of Zhou." Sima Hui's face was a little dark, frowning, and he said slowly, "However, within three generations, it can be said that five clothes Besides, being close to passers-by...it won't last long...』

  The meaning of Sima Hui, of course, not only refers to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

  During the Spring and Autumn Period, the blood relationship system of King Wu of Zhou was broken.

   It is of course blood relatives who break the consanguinity system.

  In the beginning, all the vassal states were close relatives. You are my uncle and I am his brother. Naturally, this kind of relationship cannot be fought. Even if there is a conflict of interest, the older generation will take the lead and just sit down and talk. If you bow your head and don't see each other, it won't look good if it gets too big.

As time goes by, when everyone has a baby, the baby has a baby... It doesn't take too long, two hundred years, this is almost the tenth generation. After all, in the Zhou Dynasty, children were born at the age of fifteen or sixteen. baby.

   Now, the so-called royal bloodlines are all distant relatives. In terms of blood relationship, yes, and in terms of seniority, there are also, but the relationship between each other, after all, is so far away, who knows who is the oldest? The initial kind of family affection naturally disappeared. In fact, it is not wrong to say that everyone is a few strangers.

  The longer the time, the weaker the family ties, and the more unstable this kind of relationship supported by blood. On the contrary, the interest relationship is becoming more and more important, so, under the irreconcilable contradictions between each other, the war broke out.

  Separation of the three families is the most typical case.

  So, the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, isn’t it the epitome of the present?

  In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what is the difference between the blood relationship between the various princes, and among the current gentry families, what is the difference between the clans united by blood?

   Only practical interests are the most important.

   During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, princes often fought over a piece of land, a river, and even a mulberry tree...

  Who still recognizes blood relationship at this time?

  Go and tell people, stop fighting, we were brothers two hundred years ago...

  Who will listen? It's like the future generations also say that everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and then play tricks behind their backs?

  During the Spring and Autumn Period, the division of the three families became the fuse that overthrew the blood of the royal family, but now, similar to the situation of the three-legged confrontation, is it an important factor that overthrows another blood connection?

   Just like in the letter, you must make a choice!

  『Uncle’s meaning is...』 Sima Yi was startled, and looked at Sima Hui, "My lord’s plan actually fell here? ! 』
