Chapter 2086 Lu Zhi came to listen to the class
However, Huangfu Song just remained indifferent.
Lu Zhi had no choice but to get up and leave.
In fact, he already knew that he was doing useless work.
Huangfu Song is such a person who strictly abides by the imperial court's operating procedures.
When there is an edict, he will send out troops and do his best to fight a good war.
Without an edict, even if you have the most elite Northern Army in your hands, you will not use them to do anything more.
He is Huangfu Song, a rare classic professional officer in ancient dynasties.
He never relies on the military power in his hands to send troops to do things on his own. He only looks at things like edicts, seals, tiger charms, and angels.
No matter who is in power, no matter whether it is good or bad, if you issue an edict through the Secretary, I will send troops.
His character is destined to rise in troubled times.
Just like when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, some people advised Huangfu Song to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Dong Zhuo.
As a result, Huangfu Song refused and went to Luoyang alone.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo used an edict to relieve him of military power, and he was immediately imprisoned and almost killed. Fortunately, he had a son to intercede.
If this matter were placed on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there would definitely be two outcomes.
As a result, a very strange scene occurred in the land of Jizhou.
Wen Mingming heard that Rensheng was there to cultivate land and prepare for war, recruiting brave soldiers.
Huangfu Song just wrote a letter. First, Jizhou was in ruins and asked for a tax exemption for one year. Second, he said that the Taihang Mountain people might cause rebellion.
But he just didn't take the initiative to send troops, he just wanted to wait for the imperial edict.
His counter-rebellion army, more than 30,000 elite soldiers, was stationed somewhere east of Taihang, but they were indifferent to it.
Huangfusong's movements were naturally noticed by Wen Rensheng, who was reported three times a day.
On this day, he preached to the students: "If they are generals, they are like Huangfu Yizhen. Even if the king is changed every ten years, there will be no bloodshed."
All the students nodded.
Wen Rensheng spoke again: "Can any of you analyze Huangfu Song's true psychology and his personal character? Only after analyzing this can we cultivate such talents in a targeted manner."
< br>At this time, Xun Chen said: "Actually, Huangfu Song is good at protecting himself wisely, but in today's troubled times, he still holds the same thoughts as before."
"He only knows that as long as he follows the rules of the court, no one will have a personal enmity with him. He only knows that as long as he follows the rules, he will have a place for anyone who comes to power."
"Many people with military power in the past, such as Zhou Yafu and Huo Guang, were defeated at this point. I think he must be very wary of this."
"No, I agree with everything else you said. Huangfu Yizhen acted wisely and saved his life. He also wrote to the emperor many times to open the ban and impeach the eunuchs for illegal activities. This offended many people. He just did what he should do and what was within his responsibilities. He would try his best to do it well. , Even if he has the ability to do things beyond his responsibilities, he will not do it, such as sending troops privately." Xun Yu shook his head.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
In fact, his school system is to cultivate a large number of people like Huangfu Song.
You don't have to worry about how the court changes, as long as you do your job well, do it step by step, and finally get a result.
If something goes wrong, just deal with it according to the rules.
If everyone is like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, who has military power and wants to use it to interfere with the monarch's choice, the world will never be stable.
He admired Huangfu Song very much.
Only people with this concept can change the situation of the country being ruled by martial artists, and it will not lead to the humiliation of Jingkang.
Of course Huangfusong didn't know that by doing so he saved his own life.
If he really dares to attack, he will soon understand what crushing means.
He knew very little about Taihang Mountain, but Wen Rensheng knew him from beginning to end.
At this time, everyone was also thinking about how to train talents like Huangfu Song in batches.
After all, Huangfu Song may be an exception, and what they need to do is to use a system to train these people in batches.
Soon Guo Jiadao: "Master, it is impossible for us to train a Huangfu Song, but we can train three people to form a Huangfu Song." Spread out so that unless the three of them rebel at the same time, it will be impossible to rebel."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
In the Qin society, it was difficult for losers in the court to have any other destination than death (or life-long house arrest).
He wants to change that.
Only then can participants give up the motivation to use force to participate in the competition.
Just like Cao Shuang, he believed Sima Yi's Luoshui oath and would treat him like a wealthy man, and then gave up the armed confrontation.
The result was that Sima Yi was not a human son, he directly broke his oath and killed Cao Shuang's clan.
As a result, several important ministers who served as security guards committed suicide in shame.
Sima Yi was so evil that he became so vicious that everyone in the court fought to the death.
This is also the disadvantage of a place where Gu is raised: there is no place to go, so I can only fight in a bottle. I will feel most at ease when you are dead.
I won’t have to worry so much if I am exiled outside.
"In this way, the efficiency will be horribly low. Every time we march and fight, we have to ask for food and fodder, and have to deal with logistics and personnel. It is not suitable for this troubled world." Xun Chen shook his head.
Wen Rensheng also smiled.
What they said was very good, but they forgot one thing.
The most important thing is to open up the people's wisdom so that the soldiers are literate and understand what they are fighting for.
In this case, when the rebellious ministers and traitors seek the throne, no matter how many confidants he recruits, the most core and most basic soldiers do not believe his words and are unwilling to take action, it is difficult for him to succeed.
This is the root of everything.
Why did those with military power rebel more often in feudal society, but less so in modern times?
Because in feudal society, the top soldiers obeyed whoever gave them food. Many people only knew that they were going to rebel when they reached the imperial city, and then they were shocked.
But now that we have come, we can only continue to rebel.
Modern times are different. Every soldier is literate and can understand the current situation.
Although they may not understand too many strategies and tactics, they at least know that they cannot interfere in the selection of the king.
Once the concept of shared consciousness is established from top to bottom, anything can be done easily.
…………
at the same time.
Lu Zhi, who failed to persuade Huangfu Song, left the army with his disciples in an ox cart.
In fact, he was originally imprisoned for offending the eunuchs when he attacked the Yellow Turbans. However, because Wen Rensheng suddenly rose up, he did not have this experience, but he also lost his military power and was demoted to a commoner.
There was one more thing he didn't tell Huangfu Song, that is, he actually felt that the Taihang Mountain people's approach might solve the real problems of the Han Dynasty.
The relationship between Huangfu Song and him was very good, or Huangfu Song was a very upright person. After pacifying the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, he said that all the credit was due to him.
This was a military achievement. It was too late for others to snatch it, so Huangfu Song gave it away directly.
This allowed Lu Zhi in history to be restored to his official position.
If Huangfu Song really wanted to send troops to fight, he felt that the opponent might not be able to win.
He thought for a while, and instead of returning to his hometown, he walked towards Taihang Mountain.
Know your enemy and yourself.
Only by predicting the target can we take action.
He only learned from the mouths of businessmen and scholars that the Taihang Mountain people advocated: "The king wants the people to choose."
This is clearly a rebellion. Of course, in the late Han Dynasty, there were countless nobles and powerful people who wanted to replace the emperor.
There was Huo Guang before.
Later there were Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao.
This is all obvious.
In contrast, the words of the Taihang Mountain people are just a step further.
"Just how to ensure that a wise king can be selected? Can the matter be solved by just one wise king?"
After thinking of this, Lu Zhi, who was in his forties, took the opportunity to The big man, full of loyalty and sorrow, came to the Taihang Mountains.
He was born in 139 and died in 192. Now it is 185. Naturally, he does not know that he has only a few years to live.
He used to be disappointed and confused, and just wanted to go into seclusion. Now that he has Taihang Mountain people, he wants to fight for another 20 years.
When he and his disciples drove an ox cart to the mountains, they heard that they were here to listen to lectures. They were registered step by step on the other side and given food books.
"This is for temporary use. If you settle down, it will be given to you permanently. This is a basic food subsidy for listening to lectures. It does not cost money, but it requires assessment. If you pass the assessment three times, you will have to spend money to buy it." Registration staff said.
This is new.
As food increased, it became a rule to subsidize those who attended the lectures.
This was common in later generations, because going to school would take up too much time for a labor force, especially these days, when children as young as five can go to the fields, pull weeds, and pick wheat to do a lot of work.
Only subsidies can parents send them in droves.
If you still want to charge tuition fees, only a few knowledgeable parents will be willing. Most people are vulgar and would rather let their children work at home.
Bai Luzhi was very shocked when he heard this.
Although there is a subsidy for going to Luoyang to attend lectures, it is the orthodoxy of the imperial court.
But the other party is just a separatist territory, and it is very scary to be able to do this kind of thing.
Then someone took them into the lecture hall.
They came to a large wooden house on a hillside.
"You have just arrived, so go and listen to T-shaped classes first. They are divided into four categories: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Just go in and listen without disturbing others." The leader pointed to the bottom piece with wooden slips hanging on it. House said.
Lu Zhi nodded and quickly chose a room to enter.
He quietly entered through the back door, and his disciples followed quietly.
No one cares about their entry.
Just like no one knows that he is a great scholar in China.
At this time, there was a high platform in front of the room. On the high platform, there were two children arguing.
The child is only about ten years old.
"Last week's homework, how to ensure that the court does things for the people, my idea is this, if you want to pass the test rigorously, you will almost be dragged out and beheaded..." Child A said this.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi was shocked.
Here, two boys can discuss the imperial court?
And they seemed to have no fear of the imperial court at all.
Not at all like those folk kids who cringe.
Child B said: "What you are doing is wrong. Officials should be elected by the people. In this way, in order to keep their positions, officials will try their best to please the people. Just like every time I want to eat candied haws, I have to please my dad. Same."
Lu Zhi was shocked when he heard this.
He felt like Confucius met two children who were talking about the sun.
Even Sage Kong didn’t know anything about the distance between the sun and the earth.
But these two children can speak clearly and eloquently.
He remembered the 8 letters he had given to His Majesty before:
Yongliang: Let the prefectures and counties select the virtuous and appoint them as they please.
Original ban, control of disasters, preparation for bandits, cultivation of body, respect for Yao, control of subordinates, and dissemination of benefits.
This also includes the performance appraisal of officials.
However, this could not be implemented and His Majesty did not adopt it.
Now these two children are discussing this issue in depth.
At this time, Xiaoerjia said with disdain: "If you use the people to recommend officials, the people will be ignorant and only look at what they see. Even if they are civilized, they only focus on working and eating. In order to become officials, they will compete to please these people. People, if you choose me today, I will give you five hundred yuan. Tomorrow, he will say, choose me and give you one thousand yuan.”
“As for where the money comes from, it is the court’s money, the court’s reserves. I don’t want to worry about what will happen to me in the future. After all, everyone can only be an official for ten years, and they will just take it and leave.”
Lu Zhi nodded.
This makes perfect sense.
Nowadays, the selection of virtuous people is based on reputation. Isn’t it because some people concoct various rumors about filial sons in a targeted manner?
Some of them he felt were too cruel after hearing them.
Buried his son to be filial to his mother, abandoned his biological son, and took his nephew on the road.
If it is to be recommended by the common people, then whoever promises the most will get the most support.
At this time, Child B said: "In that case, you can take a step back and make appointments from above, but the promotion and punishment will be determined by the voice of the people."
Child A still shook his head and said: "It's still wrong, because there are certain things to do. Long things come with short things. When I was in office, I did not collect taxes and borrowed money to give charity; when you were in office, you spent 9 years collecting labor and making water conservancy projects miserable. Who do you think the people will say is better?"
Lu Zhi was shocked.
He couldn't help but stood up and said: "I never thought that although you are still young, you can actually say something so profound?"
At this time, the two children laughed together and said: "Old sir, You are late. If you listen more to our ancestors’ lectures, you will know that what we are talking about is the most superficial things.”
Lu Zhi nodded humbly.
He is a great scholar.
The kind of true Confucianism.
Be open-minded and eager to learn.
I am not ashamed to ask, this word is not good, what is up and what is down?
The four words "not ashamed to ask" reflect the ridiculousness of superiority and inferiority.
The so-called great Confucians, it is difficult to say that great Confucians are good at governing the country. The gap between strength and weakness is too huge, but they are indeed top-notch in terms of personal cultivation.
“I wonder when the Patriarch will come to give lectures?” Lu Zhi asked.
“You have to be promoted to a higher school, level A, B, C, and D. Finally, you will be promoted to school A, and you will be able to hear the lectures of the founder.”
“There will be assessments every ten days. , you can pass the test naturally.”
"This assessment is this assignment. How to ensure that officials do things for the people?"
Lu Zhi thought for a while, then took out a bamboo slip and started writing.
“Be a good person before doing things, and cultivate your mind before you cultivate your body. When people are upright, things will be upright, and when people are established, things will be established.”
Then he elaborated on a set of Confucian norms.
This problem can be solved by first cultivating the mind and cultivating the character to become a gentleman, and then letting the gentleman become an official.
People today find it ridiculous, but for more than two thousand years, people on this land thought so.
The best way to attack a person is to attack his character. Once his character is bad, no amount of achievements will be enough.
Just like Li Shimin, the words "kill brother" made him spend countless energy to deal with it.
Then he placed the article he had written on the high platform.
After looking at it, Child A immediately shook his head and said: "It stinks, it smells bad."
After looking at it, Child B also shook his head and said: "It's a mess, it's a mess."
