Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 416

"Gongda, your uncle is right. In the place where Yingchuan fought four times, if there is any change in the world, it will be attacked by soldiers. Unexpectedly, his words will be fulfilled so quickly..." After sitting in the manor, Xun Qu looked After reading Xun You, I couldn't help talking about Yingchuan's past.

Xun You's uncle he said was Xun Yu, Cao Cao's number one counselor.Although he is six years younger than Xun You, he is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable.When He Yong saw Xun Yu in Nanyang when he was young, he was surprised and said, "This is the talent of Wang Zuo." During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he asked to be transferred outside and was named the county magistrate of Kangfu, but he abandoned his post and returned home. He said to the elders in the family: "Yingchuan, the land of the Fourth World War, the world has changed, and soldiers are often charged. It is better to go there urgently and not stay for a long time." However, most of the family members cherish their homeland and are unwilling to move easily. He took his clan to Jizhou.

What Xun Qu was grateful for was that shortly after Xun Yu left, when the struggle between the imperial court and Dong Zhuo was approaching the stage where Zhu Jun was at the stage where he could see nothing, Zhu Jun rebelled against Dong in Zhongmou, and Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue and Guo Si to defeat Zhu Jun. Burned, killed and looted to Yingchuan, and cracked the Yingchuan Lingche at that time.If it hadn't been for Dong Zhuo's sudden death later on, those vicious Xiliang iron cavalry might have turned the entire Yingchuan into a death zone.

Xun You was also very sad when he heard the words, but he knew that he couldn't follow the topic of Xun Qu, so he stroked his long beard and changed the subject: "Uncle, my nephew came back this time not just to escort the sixth uncle's coffin. Returning home. There is one more thing, I hope uncle can grant it."

"Now that you are the imperial court general Anyuan, you have great power and authority, and you are skillful in dealing with changes. Why do you need to ask for my opinion?" Sure enough, Xun Qu forgot to mourn the painful past when he heard the words, and a gleam of kindness appeared in his eyes.

"What did my uncle say? Even if my nephew has become a Sangong Taiwei, I still have to ask my uncle for advice. What's more, this matter really needs my uncle to decide." People like Xun You usually don't flatter, but he immediately showed it. It's all wonderful, without a trace.When Xun Qu was offered such a clever and warm flattery, the kindness in his eyes suddenly became brighter.

Seeing Xun Qu's reaction, Xun You became more confident, and took out a stack of Chang'an papers from his pocket and handed it to Xun Qu.After Xun Qu took it, he found that it was an annotated essay.After reading it in the first grade of junior high school, Xun Qu realized that this was a "Shen Jian" written by his brother Xun Yue.

In "Shen Jian", Xun Yue ridiculed the current theory of prophecy and Fu Rui, and his comments on real politics also hit the times.Xun Qu was amazed after reading it, but then he forgot it.After all, Xun Yue is a calm and quiet person, aloof from the world, and especially fond of writing books.This "Shen Jian" is just an essay that he couldn't help writing because he saw the world being poisoned.Unexpectedly, Xun You took out this article again today, and wrote comments on it.

However, after seeing the last comment, Xun Qu still couldn't help laughing: "Gongda, if you boast about your uncle like this, let the world know, I'm afraid we Xun family like to flatter each other..."

Xun You smiled charmingly at this time, and said, "Uncle, when did my nephew say that these annotations were made by my nephew?"

What a smart person is Xun Qu?Seeing Xun You's expression, how could he not think of anything else.Immediately, his hands began to tremble a little, and he asked Xun You in disbelief, "Gongda, you mean, this annotation is...is it?..."

Xun Qu 'is' for a long time, but he didn't say the name of the person on his lips.But at this moment, Xun You nodded slightly without saying a word, and after the joyful light in Xun Qu's eyes fully bloomed, he said, "Even if Your Majesty has read all of Uncle's remarks, the last comment is also Written by His Majesty. Uncle, you don’t know, His Majesty agrees most with the theory of prophecy and taboo Fu Rui. When there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, when Taiwei Magong wanted to blame and resign, His Majesty quoted the above remarks, which moved Magong to tears.”

After these words, Xun Qu couldn't help but glance at the comment again.The above sentence, "In terms of political system, without Jia Yi's classics, it is close to mellow; without Liu Xiang's anger, it is good at irony." This sentence is like a panacea, which immediately made Xun Qu's sad face, which looked at the vicissitudes of life, vigor and youth. stand up.

You know, both Jia Yi and Liu Xiang are well-known political commentators and classicists, and Liu Xie said that Xun Yue is better than Jia Yi and Liu Xiang.This kind of praise, regardless of whether it is fair or not, is the emperor's appreciation for Xun Yue, which can be seen from this.

Unfortunately, not long after he was happy, Xun Qu became a little disappointed again, and sighed, "Gongda, you also know your Uncle Zhongyu's temperament. He likes to be quiet and doesn't want to get involved in the disputes over his official career. It may be difficult for him to become an official... What's more, isn't Guanzhong now issuing an imperial edict to take the imperial examination? It's even more impossible for your uncle to take the imperial examination."

"Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with the imperial examinations. Your Majesty has said that the imperial examinations are just for the sake of the world's talents, so how can we give up the basics and chase the last ones? Therefore, the system of "expropriation and collection" is still in use." Qu's concerns: "What's more, Your Majesty didn't want Uncle Zhongyu to be involved in the court dispute. You also know that Magong is old now, and Cai Bojie was sent by His Majesty as a county guard to re-edit the "Hanshu" Then there was no successor. If Uncle Zhongyu could enter the court, revise, compile, and give lectures on Taixue, wouldn’t that be more meaningful than sitting in Yingchuan?”

"Your Majesty really thinks that way?" Xun Qu was a little excited now. Through Xun You's words, his favor for Liu Xie was almost overwhelmed.Immediately, he couldn't help feeling hot, and said with a heroic smile: "If that's the case, Zhongyu doesn't want to go out of the mountain. Your uncle Wenruo moved all of them to Jizhou, and only Zhongyu couldn't bear to stay in his hometown. Now It seems that he was reserved for His Majesty. Uncle will take care of this matter for you even if he puts on his old face!"

Xun You smiled even more warmly at this time: He has been in court for a long time, and his experience in human relationships has long been much higher than Xun Qu's.What's more, after being with Liu Xie for a long time, even if he doesn't want to use some small tricks, he can fully understand them and use them at his fingertips.

Liu Xie had indeed read the article "Shen Jian" and greatly appreciated it, but the real situation is by no means what Xun You said.Those dense comments above were actually written by Xun You, only the last comment was written by Liu Xie before Xun You came to Yingchuan.As for the arrangement for Xun Yue, Liu Xie and Xun You discussed it before making a special decision.

The intention is naturally to let Xun Qu feel Liu Xie's respect for literature and scholars in the silent moistening of things.And now it seems that everything is going smoothly and successfully.

However, just when Xun You was about to hit the iron while the iron was hot, Xun Qu suddenly became alert and asked, "Gongda, your return this time is probably not just about expropriating your uncle Zhongyu, is it?"

The smile on Xun You's face suddenly froze, but after a little thought, he was relieved: I have been with my uncle since I was a child, and he may not know what is in his heart, but Xun Qu can see the signs revealed in some of his words and deeds. You can see it.

However, when things came to this, Xun You didn't panic too much.After all, from the current point of view, uncle still cares about Han Ting very much.Otherwise, it is impossible for him to agree to persuade Uncle Zhongyu to join the court.Since the situation of the Xun family is the same as I thought, if I keep hiding it, it will end up being hypocritical.

As a result, Xun You stood up and confessed, "Uncle, you really have sharp eyesight. There are three things about my son's return. You know the first two things. The last thing is that my son wants uncle Proposal that Yingchuan should be included in the Han court, lead the emperor's army into Yanzhou, and punish Cao Cao on behalf of heaven!"

Xun You thought that if he said what he said, he would definitely get Xun Qu's generous promise.After all, it seems that Xun Qu has no possibility of objecting, whether it is from the aspect of emotion or reason.However, what Xun You didn't expect was that Xun Qu's face, which had been smiling before, gradually sank. He waved everyone to go out, walked to the door, looked outside, and then turned around.At this time, he was no longer that kind uncle, but a majestic patriarch.

"Gongda, this matter needs a long-term discussion..." Xun Qu said these words meaningfully, and then, as if afraid of others eavesdropping, he covered his ears and called out again: "Qi'er, your cousin is coming back today." It’s a great event to come home. Let’s celebrate well and arrange to kill pigs and sheep!”

"Uncle!" Xun You was completely confused by Xun Qu's actions, and just about to speak again, but was stared back by Xun Qu's resolute and stern eyes.

Xun You sat back silently, and looked out of the window again. His 20-year-old cousin was sharpening his sword: It seems that I still want to find this little cousin...
