Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 414 Xun You Returns Home

"Uncle, we are finally back."

Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers in front of him, Xun You couldn't help sighing.Looking back, behind him was a strong man in white carrying a huge coffin.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, with a cool breeze blowing.Yingshui flows quietly in front, like a fluttering white silk ribbon, with the faint Songshan Mountain at one end.Probe into the endless fields.The wild grass on the bank is still green, but it has the color of late autumn.The breeze blows, and the weeds sway gently with the water waves.The water was clear and the bottom was visible. Fishes as small as fingers were swimming on the white sand. Suddenly they saw a figure and dived into the deep water all at once.

When Xun You was a child, he played games by this river countless times, fishing, catching shrimps and digging loaches.When I got home, I was scolded by the old man, saying that he didn't look like the son of our master, and lost the rules...

Xun You has been famous for his intelligence since he started studying. At the age of 27, he was recruited into Beijing by General He Jin and became a servant of the Huangmen.He was dressed in white then.Going to the capital, I was full of thoughts and plans to make a big career, and it has been a full ten years today, looking back like a dream.

He was a guest in the General's Mansion, he was also a prisoner of the Tingwei, he ate delicacies from mountains and seas, and ate bad food in the prison.The queen mother, relatives, and eunuchs who were once invincible fell one by one. Dong Zhuo came up and Dong Zhuo was killed.Wang Yun came to power, Wang Yun lost power...

Up to that time, he had not brought back the body of his uncle Xun Shuang, who had plotted to kill Dong Zhuo, back to his hometown.And all the changes happened in Tingwei's prison that time.

At that time, it was not the first time he met the emperor.But that time was the time when he changed his view of the emperor the most.

Three cups of tea, the emperor told him about the bloodless capture of barbarians and Dong Zhuo's death.Now it seems that these things have become true.

The fried tea of ​​the Han Dynasty has already begun to spread to the Xiongnu tribes in the north through the channels of Shanyu Liu Bao, the pro-Han successor of the Xiongnu, and won a lot of jewelry and jade for the big man.Only relying on the "Tea Classic" and the tea culture created by some weird tea sets, tea products, and tea instruments, the emperor had already made the Xiongnu nobles obediently follow behind the Han Dynasty.Presumably soon, the emperor will let that Liu Bao return to the old land of the Huns and restore the rule of the Han Dynasty over the Huns.

As for Dong Zhuo, let alone mention it.Xun You knew in his heart that he had actually made an oath to himself at that time, that whoever could fulfill his uncle's wish for him, he would follow that person all his life, devote himself to death, and die.Although among them, he still did not pass the test of being a celebrity, but after Wang Yun finally committed suicide, he willingly became the emperor's confidant and private minister.

However, after the monarch and his ministers conspired together, although the Han court improved day by day, its prestige also increased year by year.But he still didn't send his uncle's body back to Yingchuan, although Xun You later felt that there was nothing wrong with burying his uncle in the "Heroic Soul Tomb" in Chang'an.But after all, this violated the last wish of the uncle, and also made Yingchuan's clan dissatisfied.

Fortunately, the emperor is a tolerant and open person. He can not only bury the souls of loyal ministers in the tomb of heroic souls, but also let the dead leaves return to their roots.However, there are still some loyal officials left in the tomb of heroes, which means that the Han Dynasty will never forget this loyal official.In addition, if you choose the remains of fallen leaves to return to your roots, you will also erect a monument in your hometown to show your loyalty.

Such an inclusive approach, not only did not lower the price of the Tomb of Heroes, but made some people admire it even more.After all, everyone has a chance, but being buried in the Tomb of Heroic Souls doesn't necessarily mean you have the qualifications.Now the gray-haired old Taiwei has nothing to worry about, he talks about his desire to enter the Tomb of Heroic Souls when he meets everyone, and he is so obsessed that even death is not taboo...

"Uncle, you said in your last words that you didn't want to be buried in Chang'an, probably because you couldn't bear to see Chang'an reduced to a scene of flying iron hooves and piles of corpses?" Xun You recalled the thoughts aroused from Yingshui, and turned his eyes back to the coffin superior:
"But you never thought that the heavens protected me, the great man, and gave the Han Dynasty such a rejuvenation master. Now Chang'an has not been reduced to a miserable land mottled with blood and tears. However, it is also good to go back to my hometown, because the big man will soon turn Yingchuan into the second Chang'an."

When he came to Yingchuan this time, Xun You was ordered by Liu Xie to open the road from Yuzhou to Yanzhou.After all, the military strategy set by the emperor is to attack Yanzhou from the north to the south.In the north, there is Lu Bu, the tiger of the world, pointing directly at him, and in the south, the Han army must rush forward bravely. Only in this way can Cao Cao be caught off guard, and Cao Cao will regret it all his life.

In Runan, Jia Xu has almost done it.With Duanmu Zhengshuo Jinyiwei sent by the emperor, coupled with Jia Xu's methods, Jia Xu's name would be ashamed if he didn't get it right.Although the roots of Yuan's former officials and disciples are still there, they have already hid in tree holes like quails in cold winter, for fear that Jin Yiwei will find out and become the target of other big clans in Runan.

To the north of Runan is Yingchuan.However, Ru'nan has seen improvement for the first time, but Yingchuan's place is not easy for Jia Xu to handle.Jia Xu's most powerful weapon is not the official position given by the court, but his own fame.However, Yingchuan is a place where the literary style is at its peak, and the gentry's voice is overwhelming. Although Jia Xu is well known to the world, it is still difficult for him, a mere Liangzhou celebrity, to persuade Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is named after the Yingshui River that originates from Mount Song and flows through this place. It is close to Luoyang, and has a prosperous talent and many aristocratic families.Since ancient times, it has been famous for its outstanding people.For example, Qin Shihuang's unclear father Lu Buwei, Han Feizi, the representative of Legalism at the end of the Warring States Period, and a generation of strategists advocated goodness, etc., all came from this place.

It's all just passing by in the past, but now Yingchuan has not only not declined, but has become more and more prosperous.

In today's world, Yingchuan is most famous for its four major families, namely Yingyin Xun family, Changshe Zhong family, Xuxian Chen family, Wuyang Han family, and its representatives Xun Shu, Zhong Hao, Chen Shi, Han Shao and Known as the "Four Chiefs of Yingchuan", it is admired by scholars all over the world.

Xun Shu has a noble character and profound knowledge, and is called a "Homo sapiens" in the village.He was recruited to be a doctor, and then promoted to Tuchang. The famous scholars Li Gu and Li Ying all worshiped him as their teacher, and later became the minister of Langling.Xun Shu is sensible and known as the "God Lord".His eight sons are known as "Xun's Eight Dragons".

Yes, this big family is Xun You's clan, and it is also the fundamental reason why Liu Xie did not hesitate to send Xun You out of Chang'an.

The Chen family in Xu County is no different than the Xun family.The Chen family is the descendant of Chen Zhendi, the prime minister of Chu State. His tenth grandson, Chen Shi, was a county magistrate at the beginning, studied in Taixue, and later served as Taiqiu chief.He was imprisoned for the disaster of party imprisonment, and the others escaped and begged for forgiveness, but he asked himself to be imprisoned in exchange for others not being imprisoned.After Yu She was released from prison.Generals He Jin and Situ Yuan Kui asked him to be an official many times, but he refused.

Chen Shi later lived in seclusion in Jingshan Mountain and set up a library to teach students. Scholars from far and near regarded him as their master.Guan Ning from Beihai, Huaxin from Pingyuan, Bingyuan from Tongxian County, Xun Chuan, Xun Shuang, Jia Weijie, Li Yuanli, Han Yuanchang, and Wang Lie from Taiyuan all learned from Chen Taiqiu. There are more than [-] people, and hundreds of people who make bad hemp.

Chen Shi is still alive today, and his son Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang were taught by his father, and he is already a great Confucian.And Chen Ji's son Chen Qun.He was also a great figure in the Three Kingdoms period, and he proposed the later Jiupin Zhongzheng System.

The Han family in Wuyang is also very good, Han Shao, Shaoshi County, and Pi Situ Mansion.His son, Han Rong, had a great reputation, and the five mansions were established together.Han Rong's deeds have already been mentioned. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble for the country, he was ordered to go to Kanto with five people including Shaofu Yinxiu, Jinwu Humuban, general master Wu Xiu, and Yueqi school captain Wang Ling.But the Kwantung heroes didn't buy it. Yuan Shao asked Wang Kuang to kill Hu Muban, Wu Xiu and Wang Ruo, and Yuan Shu killed Yin Xiu. Only Han Rong was saved because of his great reputation.Although this move is a tragedy, it shows Han Rong's reputation.

Finally, the Zhong family of Changshe, Zhong Hao, taught more than a thousand disciples with poetry and law. He has noble morals, profound knowledge and wide influence.Zhong Yu is Zhong Hao's son, although he did not leave much fame in history.But his nephew Niu, Zhong Yao, the future Wei Guo Taiwei, and now the great Han Guanglu Doctor.Zhong Yao's son, Zhong Hui, is familiar to you, right?The one who split up with Deng Ai to destroy Shu is someone else.

The above four families are still the gentry families who left a strong mark in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.In addition, Yingyin also has the Guan family; Yangzhai has the Xue family, Yuan family, Chu family, Zhao family, Li family, Guo family; Yingyang Wang family, Ji family; Changshe Jia family, Shen family, etc. .These big and small noble families have long formed an intricate network through marriage and the relationship between door officials, which can be said to affect the whole body.

Jia Xu may have a way to break up such a complicated and difficult relationship network, but it must not be done overnight.The only way to cut through the mess quickly is for people in the system to stand up and raise their arms. Only then can the situation be stirred up, and then the factions can be cleared up, and the right medicine can be prescribed.

To deal with such a situation, it is natural to pick the most representative and typical family.Because of this, the Xun family naturally became the first choice: Everyone knows that the Xun family is blooming on three sides, and there are children from their family in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao...
