Chapter 45: Astonishing
Every time Zhong Hui writes a letter, he will let a protégé who guards outside the door take it away and send it out, of course, there are subordinates to assist, in this era, it is not easy to send a letter, it is very common to run around for more than a month, and even a letter is normal for a year.
Therefore, the so-called protégé has a great role; The Wei and Jin clans were powerful, not only because of their political superiority and abundant property, but also because they also had private armies that should not be underestimated.
For example, the previous "Huainan Three Rebellions" (Wang Xuan, Biqiu Jian, Zhuge Dan) raised troops, all of them gathered more than 10,000 people with a single call, which is naturally not because these people have outstanding morality to influence the villagers, in fact, a considerable part of them are private armed forces directly or indirectly controlled by their own families.
It is precisely because it has such a powerful private armed force that is for the army and for the people, so it is also a thought to raise troops and rebel.
Today's Wei scholars, most of them are of this type, the higher the family, the stronger the strength, so the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", a tool to stabilize the rule of the scholars, can be born; Of course, most of the vendetta between these nobles and tyrants is a conflict of interests, and there is no difference between justice and evil.
After some tossing, he also understood his limitations, and he thought that his understanding of the confusing clues in the current situation was not as profound as that of his uncle, so he sat on the side and carefully observed how his uncle planned to deal with the aftermath.
The first few letters were sent to the family of the in-laws of the Chong family, and I think the uncle planned to contact the allies to help each other, so as to resist the possible follow-up blows after the Sima clan discovered the misdeeds, including the Chen family and the Xun family of Yingchuan Gaomen, it seems that the Shi clan also has its own small circle of interests, rather than a plate of scattered sand.
However, the next few targets to contact made Chong Yuan quite frightened, such as a person named Wang Hun, who was the captain of the Yue Cavalry.
The captain of the Yue cavalry is one of the eight captains placed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the palm of the Yue cavalry has a rank ratio of 2,000 stones; There are Cheng and Sima, leading 700 soldiers; When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed the Qingscarf (left and right) to the captain of the Yue Cavalry, the rank of the candidate in the Northern Army was more than 2,000 stones.
It is the core of Beijing, and if there is a change, it can be used to make a mess with this army;
It's just that when Zhong Hui sent a message to such people, in addition to the letter, he also ordered people to carry a large amount of goods, millions of money, and thousands of silk horses.
Although it is not clear what the current prices are, the seed is already shocked when he hears such a huge figure; It seems that although the family business is big, but the money is also ruthless, and the millions of money are squandered without changing the color, but it is the self-righteous and well-informed who feels painful and ashamed, and he secretly says that he will have to adapt to this kind of money-squandering local tyrant life in the future, and he can't weaken his confidence.
The target of Zhong Hui's last letter was even more eye-opening, it turned out to be Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Han!
However, the gift to Jiang Wei was not wealth, but some lists, before Zhong Hui's expedition to Shu Han, there were also some results, especially Hanzhong County, but a lot of secrets were buried, and now Zhong Hui has sold these people.
Regarding his uncle's behavior, Chong Yuan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart at this time, and he didn't know many people in this era, but Jiang Wei's name was very important in his mind
In his mind, that is a perfect person with good virtue and ability, and white jade is as flawless and pure as white jade, how can he be in cahoots with his uncle, a group of thieves in the world who have no court and ignore etiquette! There was a sense of disillusionment and loss in my heart.
But after thinking about it, it may also be sympathetic, after all, in this era, there are very few capable people, and above the temple, there are all corpses and vegetarian meals, flies and dogs.
Thinking about it like this, I was relieved, and then I thought that it was because of this that after all, my uncle was able to persuade Jiang Wei to surrender, and then decided to rebel.
Seeing his uncle's series of methods, he not only opened his eyes, but also felt more and more inadequate.
The so-called prophet of history actually does not have much advantage in this specific practical situation, not to mention that his "prophet" is just a question mark, he just believes that his uncle must not rebel and make trouble, but if he stops, he is confused about how to deal with the aftermath in the future.
After all, if it is a rebellion, it is naturally not said that it started at the beginning, a series of actions have clues, and those in power know that they will naturally fight with all their might, so it is conceivable that even if the uncle decides to stop, then the situation he faces is extremely dangerous, and he may not be able to escape the reckoning.
However, in such a dangerous situation, Zhong Hui is still calm and calm, and also contacts allies to consolidate his own strength to ensure safety, and at the same time carries out enemy actions against the enemy, so it is unlikely that this forward general will be replaced.
The seed clan is not a soft persimmon, and those who have the ability to crusade against the seed clan in the court are not fools, since they can get the benefits of wealth for nothing, they can't afford to offend this high-ranking family to death.
After all, the power of loss is one's own, even if he gets the title of reward from the imperial court afterwards, the loss outweighs the loss, the reality is so, the weakness of the imperial court is an indisputable fact, even if he has no choice but to face it.
In addition to the arrangement of the Zhong Hui, he was also observing the seed, seeing that he looked thoughtful, obviously from his own arrangement to get a glimpse of a little clue, he was quite pleased, but he did not explain in detail to the seed of his own measures The deep meaning of the so-called words and deeds, all by self-understanding, the rhyme that words can describe, has fallen down.
Look at Zhong Yi again, just watching, obedient is very obedient, but the cleverness is inferior, if it is a business, it is also appropriate, but in this world of great contention, the future of the seed family is not contentious.
At the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the people were open-minded, and there was no shortage of romantic figures, although Zhong Hui was surprised by the early wisdom of the plant, but he didn't think it was such an incredible thing.
Xiang Lu was a saint teacher at the age of seven, Ganluo worshiped Shangqing for the twelve, the weak crown of the Han Dynasty was taken prisoner, and Wei Caochong was already smart at the age of six, why couldn't his family produce a talented and intelligent person?
However, Zhong Hui was happy, but also worried, the ancient precocious wisdom, may not be immortal, although the seed is smart, but the physique has always been weak, thinking of those prodigies who died early, Zhong Hui is even more melancholy, and when the matter in hand is dealt with, he pulled the seed wheel to his side, and said softly: "Boy, how are you doing lately?" ”
Hearing his uncle ask this, he was quite shocked.
His body is indeed weak, not at all like those bear children in later generations, and the alternation of cold and heat is slightly obvious, and he will have typhoid fever.
Maybe there are some deficiencies in the congenital nature, but as a high-level valve, the drink is fine and nutritious, and it can be carefully recuperated and improved, why is his body weak, that is, a premature death?
He couldn't figure it out at first, but when he was poured two bowls of talisman water after coughing twice a few days ago, he probably knew where the crux was.
In the current world, Fu Tao is popular, and he does not deny that Taoism has its own health regimen, such as Ge Hong Ge Tianshi, who is very famous in later generations, and has a long life.
But in this barbaric era, especially here in Guanzhong, the Five Bucket Rice Dao is prevalent, and those so-called Taoist priests and the like, there are many people who are indiscriminate, and there are few real talents.
He didn't want to be such an unprecedented traverser, and he was afraid of pouring water on himself again, so he hurriedly said: "It's already much better, and you can get strong with a proper diet and careful care, don't worry about it, uncle." ”
"That's good."
Skipping this matter, Zhong Hui remembered that he hadn't talked about it for a long time, so he wanted to know more, so he chatted and asked, "What is the kid studying now?" ”
"I am studying the Book of Poetry and Calling the South." Taneru replied that this was the fact that he had inherited the memories of his predecessor.
"The national style is innocent and lively, and the noble, hungry and poor have their own songs, which are lyrical, affectionate, and sincere, which is in line with your age; The Song of Songs can also be learned. Zhong Hui bowed slightly, commented, and said that he was not very satisfied with his studies.
But Zhong Hui didn't care too much, this era doesn't care too much about where he learns, he sees more people and things, and even talent is more important than academics.
He didn't have much attainment in Chinese studies, and although he heard what his uncle said clearly, he really didn't understand what it meant, so he just nodded in agreement.
However, after Zhong Hui pondered for a while, he picked up a scroll in his hand and said to Chong Yuan with a smile: "The Chong family has a family study, and the family has studied the Spring and Autumn Period for generations, and there are criminal laws, and the boy can also learn a thing or two. ”
He probably understood what his uncle was talking about, and it should be the so-called heirloom of the scholar clan.
Family learning, family style is the foundation of the family, the generations have not faded, and then become a county, is the foundation of the family, the so-called moral heirloom, more than ten generations, rich heirloom, but three generations, a thousand years of family, the study of the family is fundamental.
"When your grandfather was alive, he taught me that the Spring and Autumn Period was subtle and profound, and what I saw stopped at treachery, alienated from the right path, and lived up to the expectations of my ancestors."
Speaking of this, Zhong Hui sighed a few times, although he brought the seed to another height, but in the family study, it was delayed a lot, you must know that he is also the name of a prodigy, when he was young, calligraphy entered the house, and now, there is not much progress, which makes people sigh.
The people of the Wei and Jin dynasties advocated pure talk, did nothing, and let go of willfulness could be celebrities, so there were many families with low backgrounds who deliberately turned to metaphysics in order to enhance their fame.
This kind of behavior, unceremoniously rated as the world's learning, blindly pursuing the trend, the generation of fame, is actually very pertinent, has deviated from the foundation of the family's inheritance.
This phenomenon will become more and more intense later, for example, the Langya Wang family was originally a high gate, until Wang Xiang, who was lying on the ice and seeking carp, was still a Confucian heirloom, but later Wang Yan was prosperous, but later Wang Yan was buried alive by Zhao Shile, and before he died, he also sent out the feeling of misunderstanding the country.
But this did not give a warning to future generations, and later the style of Qing talk in the Jin Dynasty continued unabated, such as the Huan family and the Xie family were originally inferior families, and their fame was not visible in the world, but Huan's Huan Yi and Xie Kun's Xie Kun were all metaphysical celebrities, and they accumulated enough fame capital for the family, so that the family could rise one after another.
But this is only a specific phenomenon in a specific period, Wang Xie and his ilk after the Jin Dynasty, their family background is not as good as before, and they can only stick to the door to self-esteem, which is no different from the second mansion of Ningguo in "Dream of Red Mansions", and the dry bones in the mound are beautiful, and they have never been able to make a difference.
Hundreds of years later, Wang Xie Gaomen also disappeared, but the Gaomen who adhered to the scriptures rose one after another, and the inheritance was longer, which was the rootless duckweed of Xuanhe for a while.
"Boy, you are talented and intelligent, and you already have a slight pattern, so you have to remember that the seed clan does not take the mystery as beauty, in the future, I will invite you to invite a famous teacher, and you will also learn this "Spring and Autumn", and you will become a generation of everyone."
When Zhong Hui said this, his expression was already very solemn, this was to admonish the juniors in the family, afraid that he would be confused by the world and follow the wrong path.
It will be revised in a moment
He probably understood what his uncle was talking about, and it should be the so-called heirloom of the scholar clan. Family learning, family style is the foundation of the family, the generations have not faded, and then become a county, is the foundation of the family, the so-called moral heirloom, more than ten generations, rich heirloom, but three generations, a thousand years of family, the study of the family is fundamental.

It is also "in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", which makes people sigh.
