Chapter 1955 Jizhou situation, seeking stability in chaos
Yecheng.
This city, once the pride of Yuan Shao, is now ready to welcome its new master, Cao Cao.
And what followed Cao Cao was a news that spread quickly, filling every corner of this huge city in a blink of an eye, and then whether it was tea houses, restaurants or government offices, streets and alleys. Small household. They are all rumors, discussions, panic, anger, wait-and-see, and calculations.
Cao Cao wants to set up an examination in Jizhou, Hebei, to obtain scholars!
Jizhou was originally the land of Conglong, and it was also one of the two states that received special preferential treatment in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was the foundation of Liu Xiu''s fortune, but now it seems to have become a second-class person.
Hussars are powerful, and the people in Ye City already know it. When Yuan Shao was alive, the hussars came and left whenever they wanted. Yuan Shao arranged a whole circle, but still could not leave the hussars. Later, he attacked Shangdang, Taiyuan, but nothing happened. Therefore, Jizhou people think It is normal for Cao Cao not to be able to beat the hussars, but since they are all unable to beat, then naturally it should be the same. Why here in Jizhou, he has to accept the examination sent by Yuzhou, and there are locals in Yuzhou who are responsible for the examination. ?
It''s not fair!
How did Cao Cao get Jizhou?
Isn’t it that the people of Jizhou understand the general situation, consider the overall situation, be reasonable, and be civilized, uh, that’s what it means anyway, and then they fall into Cao Cao’s arms? Otherwise, wouldn''t Hussar General Fei Qian be very popular there?
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the benefits have not been seen much, but the money and food have been transferred again and again, and then what is the "examination"?
Cao Cao wants to come to Yecheng to sit in town, is it just to see the grave of Yuan Shao''s old friend?
Jizhou gentry originally thought they were superior to others, and they looked down on one or the other in their daily life, just like some of the locals in the demon capital in later generations, who thought that outsiders were inferior, but now that their status was threatened, naturally not only It''s just that he couldn''t hang on his face anymore, and his anger gradually boiled over.
The common people basically don''t know the specific situation. Even if they know a thing or two, they can only curse a few words, which is not painful. The officials who are officials in Jizhou are more or less concerned about the crown of honor on the top of the head and the official seal on the ribbon around the waist, so even if they have some opinions, they hide them and hide them. The crowd was noisy at the meeting, at most it was private discussion, but the people who were most likely to cause trouble were naturally those children of the gentry who had been idle in Yecheng, Jizhou every day...
Jizhou also has fine traditions!
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Qin State was still Qiang Rong, and Chu State was still barbarians, in the land of Jizhou, there was the famous Jixia Academy!
During the Warring States period, Qi State was a big country in the east, while Lu State was not only weak, but also perished soon. During the Warring States Period, the cultural sanctuary of Qi State was Jixia Academy. It basically lasted with the Tian Qi regime, and disappeared with Qin''s destruction of Qi. It lasted for about 150 years. The successors Zhang Liang, Cao Can and others helped Liu Bang unify the world, created the "Government of Wen and Jing" in the early Han Dynasty, and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Han Wu. It is considered to be another successful political practice of Huang Lao''s theory.
So the academic atmosphere of Jizhou is ahead of other regions.
And now, there is still a "test"?
Isn''t it a big joke to slip the world?
These Jizhou gentry children have always been the talents they have reserved for the future of the country, and they think they have the qualifications to guide the country. Coupled with the fact that there are many young people, I feel that as long as I can use myself, the world will not be peaceful enough!
In addition, it is inconvenient to go out and hunt as winter is approaching. At the same time, the current era is not like the later generations. There are many entertainment items, and then such a incident suddenly occurs, and everyone immediately claps the case and discusses it in the right way.
The princes who are in power are scolded bloody.
Of course, it''s just scolding the dog, and I dare not scold Cao Cao. Some people were even so impassioned that they clamored to imitate the sages and prepared to write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to come forward and get back on track quickly.
All in all, because of the spread of the news in Yecheng, there was already a commotion, and everyone was staring at the father and son of the trial match, to see if they could quickly come up with a way to deal with it!
People''s hearts are floating, and in recent years, it has reached the extreme.
After Yuan Shang ran away, the judge was also unable to stick to it, and lost the reason to stick to it. At that time, under the coercion of Cao Ren, he could only surrender in the end. In order to appease the people in Jizhou, Cao Ren also followed Cao Cao''s instructions and asked the judge to continue to serve as the Yecheng Order, but there are still many differences between the current Yecheng Order and the previous Yecheng Order.
The market is full of turmoil, talking about all kinds of strange things, and there are all kinds of things.
Of course the reviewer also understands the mystery.
Regarding the issue of the procuratorial system, in fact, since the Han Dynasty, officials everywhere have been aware of it. It''s just that they have a tacit understanding and don''t take it too seriously. In other words, this back door is just reserved for their own use. After all, if all the power is given to the emperor, how can the gentry mess around?
The reform of the talent system was not untested in the Han Dynasty. Even Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu wanted to make some changes at the beginning, but he couldn''t just stop when things got big? Not to mention, didn''t Emperor Xiaoheng and Emperor Xiaoling also try to make some changes?
Now that Cao Cao is in charge of Jizhou, he wants to do this again. In the eyes of people in Jizhou such as the judges, this kind of political article seems to be for the court, for the community, but in fact it seems more about suppression and division!
All the people who are qualified to participate in this game are naturally watching secretly, running around with each other in private. As for whether this policy is beneficial to the future, whether it is beneficial to the country, hehe, these are not the first considerations of the Jizhou gentry.
This cannot all be blamed on the Jizhou gentry.
After all, since the chaos of the Party Gu, the power disputes have spread to every corner of the big man. The unprecedented chaotic situation has led to the continuous collapse of all normal national concepts. The so-called current emperor in Xu County is more A name and a symbol, whoever can hold more real power is the real "Son of Han".
Under such a situation, the measures released by Cao Cao and Xun Yu are naturally regarded as a sign that Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others, these damned foreigners, want to fully control and squeeze Jizhou...
In the city of Ye, the atmosphere has been tense for the past few days. Everyone has a premonition that a big storm is brewing, but no one can tell where this big wind will blow!
Jin Pei walked slowly in the yard of his home, his hair and beard were almost completely white, although the years are not forgiving, but Shen Pei''s current aging is not due to himself, but a mixture of various factors.
Yuan Shang’s actions at the beginning were simply a kind of betrayal, which made the judge miserable. When the city of Ye was destroyed, the judge was completely hopeless, and even wanted to kill himself. Of course, he failed to commit suicide, but he also suffered a serious illness.
Now the judge''s physical illnesses are generally cured, but his mental illnesses are hard to heal. To use an analogy, the audit is like a partner of a Yuan company, who has paid a lot, although it is not to the extent of painstaking efforts, but it is still painstaking. Said, the most important thing is the one who was betrayed by his own boss...
Shenpei walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard, and Shen Rong outside the gate hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "My nephew sees my uncle..." In history, Shen Rong opened the gate of the city on his own initiative to let Cao Jun enter the city, but now It was Yuan Shang who did what Shen Rong had done.
Judge Pei nodded feebly, and then motioned for Shenrong to follow.
The two walked slowly one after the other, and the surrounding attendants were far away.
Shen Rong hesitated for a moment, then took another step forward and asked, "Your uncle, what''s the matter with summoning your nephew?" 』
The examiner sighed, and said in a weak voice: "Now you are also an official, how can you be so restless?" What''s the matter, you should sit down and talk about it in detail, why rush for a while? 』
When the judge said so, Shen Rong naturally didn''t dare to say anything else, and hurriedly followed the judge respectfully, even when he walked up the steps of the hall, he pretended to be a leader, showing a pure filial piety .
After the two of them entered the hall and sat down, the judge took a few breaths, then looked at Shen Rong and said, "Do you know about the chaotic discussions in Ye City today?" 』
Although it is said that the trial and assignment still maintains the title of "Yecheng Order", in fact, everyone knows that the trial and assignment can no longer do much at the moment, so if there is anything, they will go to the so-called "Yecheng Cheng" Xia Houheng assigned by Cao Cao Let''s do it, so judging is almost equivalent to being unemployed, and naturally I don''t care about Shen Rong, a nephew, and Shen Rong only gained some authority before, but now he has lost all of it. Naturally, they are trying their best to exploit and try to recover.
But the people in power now are all from the Cao family, so who would want to talk to him?
Assessment has no real power, so you can''t say that you will give your place to your nephew? And the officials at all levels deployed from Yuzhou are obviously more willing to use Yuzhou people. From any point of view, it is impossible to give Shen Rong any position, so even though Shen Rong has been running around again and again, after so many days, there is still no result. .
Seeing Shen Pei''s question, Shen Rong''s thoughts suddenly changed, and he replied respectfully: "Why doesn''t my nephew know?" Now there is a lot of discussion in the city, and everyone says that the "examination of the test" is not correct, and it is supposed to restrain Hebei and Chongyu...』
The appraiser asked again slowly: "Since this is the case, what do you want to do?" 』
Shen Rong thought about it carefully, and knew that the trial match was testing him, and even felt that this was a harbinger of what the trial match was about to do. He also vaguely felt that he would not be unemployed for too long, so he doubled his answer Cautiously, "Nephew thinks this matter is mostly inappropriate... Sikong is coming, so chaotic, don''t you want to give someone a handle?" If there is a commotion, it will be unavoidable... However, most of the people in the court today are the Cao family and the Xiahou family...It is also unavoidable to criticize...』
Shenpei nodded, and was not dissatisfied with Shenrong''s words. He nodded slightly and said, "Now that Mr. Cao uses his troops, he naturally needs to use money, food, and grass... Now the rest of the place can''t be moved, so just use it." Looking forward to here in Jizhou...therefore, the matter of "examination" is not only for people, but also for money...』
Shen Rong was suddenly stunned, his eyes rolled around twice, "What does uncle mean?" 』
Jin Pei glanced at Shen Rong, and then slowly said: "At this moment, there is chaos and disputes, and you can''t act rashly..."
Shen Rong was taken aback.
What do these mean?
Although it is still said that the "Yecheng Order" is still in front of the trial and allocation, the situation is already very different. After all, what was his status under Yuan Shao back then, and what was it like when Yuan Shang was in charge, but now...
Then the review means not to act rashly? It''s already like this, still not moving? Waiting to die?
Shen Rong smacked his mouth and lowered his head, feeling a chill in his heart.
But what can I do? After feeling uncomfortable for a while, he pretended to be light-hearted and said: "In this case, it''s just... watching from the sidelines... But in this way, wouldn''t the Cao family and the Xiahou family take advantage of it..."
The examiner shook his head and said: "It''s not all... Now Cao Gong wants to move Ye, he wants to use the power of Jizhou... However, whether to use it or not is also a choice..."
Shen Rong couldn''t help asking: "Why is this?" As soon as the words came out, Shen Rong felt that he had asked another stupid question.
Cao Cao would naturally hesitate.
It may be hesitant to switch to anyone.
Jizhou and Yuzhou, fighting each other is not a matter of one or two years.
Before Cao Cao’s base was in Yuzhou, it was natural to use Yuzhou people. Now that Jizhou is so big, it would be a bit too much to still use Yuzhou people, but Cao Cao may not be at ease if he wants to use Jizhou people, so according to the interpretation of the judge, this " "Kaozheng" also means beating Jizhou.
The judge said: "No matter what, Mr. Cao will have to make a decision... then he will know..."
Shen Rong finally got a little impatient. Today, the judge summoned him, and after talking about it, he just didn''t do anything? What do you mean by waiting for Cao Cao to come at last? If you really wait for Cao Cao to come and do something else, wouldn''t it mean that you won''t be able to eat anything hot? That being the case, it is better to go to Hugh and see if there is any other way to think about.
This matter must be planned by someone in Jizhou, can''t I fish in troubled waters, get a position from it, and get more benefits?
So Shen Rong reluctantly saluted and continued, trying his best to maintain a respectful attitude. 『Uncle, my nephew has benefited a lot from what I have taught you today. Now that the situation in Ye City is getting clearer and clearer with my uncle''s kind words. My nephew must be cautious in his words and deeds in recent days, so as not to get involved in the chaos in front of him. My uncle is probably tired too, let''s go to rest earlier, my nephew will come back another day to save trouble...』
Shen Pei snorted, raised his hand and pointed at Shen Rong: "When will you calm down!" When encountering major events, be calm! The old man is already dying, how long can he last? If you are not cautious in your words and deeds, how can you protect the Shen clan? 』
Shen Rong lowered his head and remained silent. Anyway, he was often scolded by the judges on weekdays, so he got used to it, and he didn''t feel anything about this kind of words, he just made an attitude on the surface.
The judge sighed and said softly: "Since Mr. Cao is here, he must employ people... However, if you speak out for Jizhou, you must hate Mr. Cao, and if you support "Kaozheng", you will have to blame the native land... Be at ease Don''t be impatient, you will know for yourself...」
Shen Rong raised his head, his face was obviously a little happy, "Uncle''s intention..."
The judge closed his eyes and said nothing.
Only then did Shen Rong have some confidence in his mind, and Xinxin resigned and left.
Jian Pei watched Shen Rong leave, with an obvious tired look on his face. The examination of integrity is obviously a huge shock to the inside and outside of the current court. Under Cao Cao''s current rule, the forces that have been stalemate for the time being will definitely use this to reshuffle the cards, and all forces are waiting for the best. Opportunity to start the fight in full force.
As for my nephew, he is quite ambitious but not very capable. If he doesn''t call him in advance to mention something, if he is pushed out and gets involved in the turmoil, he might not even have a bone left!
"That''s it..." The judge muttered softly, "That''s it..."
The judge looked into the distance, and saw the dark clouds in the north, layer upon layer, "The cold winter is coming... Even if we survive this winter, will the next year be the present?" 』
The judge temporarily suppressed the restlessness of the judge, but the chaos of other people did not stop at all. From the city to the countryside, more and more people participated in it, expressing various opinions on the examination system, It also made the whole Jizhou more turbulent.
As a country, the Han Dynasty has been in operation for more than three or four hundred years. Although the ruling class may be fatuous or incompetent, but it can maintain the dynasty for three or four hundred years. Naturally, there is also inertia. Among the laws maintained by those with vested interests.
Although it is said that after the toss of Hengdi Lingdi, the turmoil of the Western Qiang Yellow Turban, and the disputes between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, the rule of the Han Dynasty has been crumbling, and it is not the same as it was before, but it does not mean that all these people immediately became fools. On the contrary, these people will have a sharper sense of smell in the midst of disputes...
Cao Cao and his party are getting closer and closer to Yecheng.
Many people know that when Cao Cao enters Yecheng, the dispute between Yuzhou and Jizhou will officially kick off, and this time the dispute is not the same as that of Yuan Shao before, and it can even be said to be completely different. Same, because this time, Jizhou was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. If you want to win a round, or even overwhelm the Yuzhou people, then naturally you need some plans and strategies.
Cao Cao sat in the car, closed his eyes, and let the bumps of the car shake his body.
Normally speaking, Cao Cao should be in Xu County now, preparing for the arrival of the New Year, and will come to Jizhou after the spring of the coming year, when the general affairs of the new year have been arranged.
However, Cao Cao knew that he didn''t have so much time to wait for this and that...
Hussar General Fei Qian won another victory in the Western Regions, and it shrank a circle on Cao Cao''s head like a magic spell, which caused Cao Cao a headache.
So at the moment, we can only seek victory in chaos, first chaos and then stability!
『My lord, it is now two hundred miles away from Yecheng...』
Cao Cao opened his eyes, revealing a cold light in his slender pupils. The Hussar guy is irritated by XX, and XX really has nothing to do with him at this stage, but you guys, hehe, XX wants to see, who will jump out? !
