Chapter 2363: Who Pulls Whom’s List?

"Things are based on heaven, and people are based on ancestors." The body of descendants is what the ancestors left behind. 』

Xu Shu, with his hands behind his back, stood on the side of the courtyard of the Li family's ancestral hall, looking at the Li family's family motto written on the screen wall in the middle of the ancestral hall.

"...A tree will wither if it has roots but no roots, just like water will dry if it has a source but no source." The descendants will enjoy it forever and inherit the country's happiness and benefit, which is the result of the ancestors' accumulation of celebration. If you do not respect your ancestors, you will forget your roots, and if you forget your roots, your branches and leaves will not flourish. Therefore, when offering sacrifices every year, the incense will be burned in the morning and dusk, and one must be respectful and respectful, without hesitation or arrogance. As for establishing oneself and cultivating one's virtues without anger, this is especially true for respecting the Great Origin of the ancestors. Everyone in my tribe will read this. 』

"The writing is quite good..." Xu Shu looked back at the three elders of Qixian County with a smile, and the implication could not be more obvious.

The three elders of Qixian County were silent and did not say a word.

Xu Shu ignored him and walked straight in. Then he arrived at the door of the ancestral hall dedicated to the tablets of Li's ancestors. He stood still. He didn't go in. He just looked around, as if he was looking for something. Collapse, a hundred-foot-long room was burned with smoke from the cracks... And I don’t know the geometry of the ant nests in the temple, and how much smoke was in the cracks? 』

The third elder in Qixian County took a breath of cold air and hesitated to speak.

Xu Shu turned around, looked at the three elders of Li County, and said: "The heroes of a clan may be more important than the temple, or respected in the village, but looking at the talents of the world, they are like the crucian carp crossing the river... The Lord accepts the talents of hundreds of rivers, and Guanzhong North Not to mention the land, just talking about the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are the Zhang family in Wuyang, the Gu family in Deyang, the Hu family in Langzhong, the Ma family, the Zhou family, the Gong family in Anhan, the Zhang family in Chengdu, the Du family, the Liu family, and the Pixian family. The He family, the Jianning Yu family, etc. are all talented and learned, each has his or her own abilities, and they are also able to fulfill their duties..."

Xu Shu looked at the three elders of Qixian County with a half-smile but not a smile, "This Li family from Guanghan... Haha, Li Weng must also know that his neighbor left an axe, and he doesn't know that this Li family wants his axe, or does he hate his neighbor?" 』

Every time Xu Shu announced a surname, the expressions of the three elders in Qixian County became slightly sluggish. In the end, they completely collapsed, but they still insisted: "Of course there are also Xi family, Zhang family, Deng family, Liu family, etc." Fu family, etc., now we can add Li family, what's the harm? ! 』

According to the three elders of Qixian County, the Xi family was Xi Su. After Fei sneaked into Sichuan, he was dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's dethronement and defected to Soochow. Zhou Yu said that Su troops would benefit Lü Meng, but Meng Sheng said that Su was brave and had fled thousands of miles away, so it was not suitable to seize troops.

Zhang Yi, the Zhang family, and Deng Xian, the Deng family, were originally Liu Zhang's generals. They once worked with Zhang Ren to resist Fei's movement south. Eventually, Zhang Ren died, and Zhang Yi Deng Xian was exiled.

I won’t talk about the Liu family, but the Fu family is Fujin. They were originally a large family in Quren County. When Fei Qian went south to Sichuan and Shu, he felt that there was an opportunity to expand the wave and raised troops to cause chaos. He led more than ten thousand people to march along the river. He attacked, but was later defeated and killed by Huo Jun.

"oh? ” Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, “Oh, what Li Weng said... He actually claimed to be such a traitor... As expected, as expected, haha, hahaha...”

The three elders of Qixian County were furious for a moment. After blurting out the words, they felt that something was wrong, but they could not take it back after they said it. After being caught by Xu Shu's tail on the spot, he could only grit his teeth and continue to resist, but his momentum was no longer good, as if The dying duck has to quack twice, saying, "In the Spring and Autumn period, diseases cause disorder and death, and the corpse will be whipped!" The power of heaven responds to its own kind, so don’t be afraid! Today, the Li family is facing calamity. It is not the right time, but fate. Thousands of years later, it will be recorded in You Qing's book, and future generations will comment! 』

Xu Shu raised his head and laughed.

The three elders of Qixian County stared at Xu Shu, tenaciously maintaining their dignity.

Shrimp, uh, killing people is very easy. Just go down with a white knife, whether it's red or green, and it's over anyway, but there are many things that happen after the killing...

The Li family of Guanghan is not only a representative of Li County, but to a certain extent, it is also a banner of the Sichuan and Shu gentry, that is, the cultural circle of Sichuan and Shu. Well, three flags, the three dragons of the Li family, although one has fallen , but among Sichuan and Shu, within the Confucian classics system, there is still the weight of the Li family of Guanghan.

Historically, the Li family of Guanghan was the author of the imperial edict to persuade Liu Bei to become the king of Hanzhong.

If Liu Bei really knew nothing about literature, or could not represent anything, would Liu Bei give this task to Guanghan Li to write it?

In this turmoil in Sichuan and Sichuan, although the Guanghan Li family failed in the end, it is also obvious that its name is still relatively easy to use among the people of Sichuan and Shu. At least when it comes to recruiting rangers and so on, those bastards and libertines have nothing to say. Here it comes, in which the power of money plays a certain role, but it also shows the trust and attraction of the Guanghan Li family to the general public.

Xu Shu wants to "clear out" the power of the Li family in Guanghan. Eating shrimp alone is obviously not enough, so it is better to stir-fry pig heart to make it a dish.

Spirituality and materiality must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard. Correspondingly, Xu Shu not only needs to deal with the bodies of these people, but also needs to deal with the minds of these people.

The key to thought is the school of thought.

Among the Sichuan and Shu schools, the Li family of Guanghan occupies a place again. Otherwise, how could the so-called "Three Dragons of the Li family" be spread? Aren’t masters, masters, uncles, disciples, disciples, and grandsons all praising each other?

Long before Fei Qian went south to Sichuan and Shu, what was popular in Sichuan and Shu was mainly the prophecies of gods and gods and the techniques of astronomy, divination, and human observation.

Sichuan and Sichuan are relatively isolated, and are surrounded by barbarians and Di people. Under the influence of these people, things like voodoo are also relatively common. Even in later generations, some people often said that the barbarians in southern China were "customary in conquering witches and ghosts. They liked to curse alliances, throw stones and weeds, and officials often used alliances to curse them." 』

Historically, after Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, in order to change this situation, for certain political purposes and military needs, and to open up the people's wisdom of these barbarians, Zhuge Liang made a map for the barbarians, first drawing the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, The emperor and the city government first painted dragons, oxen, horses, and sheep; then they painted the chief officials riding horse flags and flags, patrolling for relief; and they painted images of barbarian morning cows carrying wine and gold and treasures to give gifts to the barbarians...

Obviously Zhuge Liang's set of villain calligraphy and painting albums also achieved good results. During the period when Zhuge Liang was in power in history, the Southern Barbarians were relatively peaceful.

After Fei Qian deliberately moved the Qiao family, who specialized in prophecies and prophecies, to Guanzhong, the Confucian classics that had been suppressed in Sichuan and Shu rebounded, and the Guanghan Li family benefited from this process.

There is nothing that can be done about this. On the one hand, Xu Shu has to pay attention to various internal developments in Sichuan and Shu. On the other hand, he also has to guard against the barbarians in the surrounding areas. There is really no way to deal with the matters within the Chengdu Academy every day. Staring, and there are no big figures like Sima Hui or Zheng Xuan in Sichuan and Sichuan to press and guide the direction, so although the Chengdu Academy is collecting and selecting classics and recruiting scholars, teaching and learning articles, vocabulary, The scholars and the law played a certain role, but it also made some thoughtful people expand.

In addition, the conflicts of interests and politics between the scholars in Yizhou and the exiled scholars in Jingzhou and the north also spread to academic debates, and many people used the topic to make use of it. Zhuge Liang submitted it to Fei Qian. In the Sichuan-Sichuan Guanfeng investigation report, it was written, "At that time, common affairs were started, and there were many doubts and discussions in the school. They were more aggressive, slanderous, and angry, which was reflected in the sound and color, whether there were books or not, and there was no communication or borrowing. I was looking for Chu tart." , shocked with each other. He is jealous of himself and others, and this is the end of it. 』

Of course, Zhuge Liang also let Xu Shu read this report...

When a problem occurs, some people try to cover it up as much as possible, some people solve the problem, some people pretend it doesn't happen so they can put it off for a day, and of course some people will take the initiative to find a solution. To find ways to solve problems.

After Xu Shu discovered the problem, on the one hand, he added doctors, Dongguan Lang, Dian School Captain, Encourage Scholars and County Schools to distribute wine. This was also the reason why Xu Shu had previously stated to the three elders of Li County that there were already so many Sichuan and Shu surnames. The reason for taking refuge, on the other hand, also began to deal with some families who refused to bow their heads...

For example, the Li family in Guanghan.

Guanghan is close to Chengdu and is prosperous and prosperous, so many gentry students have made great achievements in literature. Among them, in Guanghan, there are two schools of modern scriptures and ancient scriptures. Jinwen Classics is headed by the Yang family of Guanghan.

Yang Tong of the Guanghan Dynasty first studied the family biography "Yang Family Secret Records", and also received the "He Luo Shu" passed down by Zhou Xun. He wrote "Family Law Chapter Name" and "Nei Prophecy", which were passed down to his son Yang Hou. Yang Hou "taught more than 3,000 disciples"; Yang Hou's younger brother Yang Xu, who served as a servant of the Han Dynasty, retreated and "taught 3,000 disciples." Well, of course, the 3,000 people here are not necessarily the real number.

This Guanghan Yang family was the one who told Liu Yan that "Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor". And what happened next was of course the rise with Liu Yan, and then the fall with the decline of Liu Zhang.

Then the Li family of Guanghan and the Wang family of Guanghan, after Yang collapsed, their mouths were full of oil, and they immediately became more and more eager for more flesh and blood, until now.

Xu Shu didn't pay too much attention to the harsh words of the three elders of Qixian County, but pointed in a direction with his finger, "If the memory is correct, that should be the Yang family's ancestral hall?" And I wonder how many of the Yang family’s sons are there today? 』

The three elders in Qixian County were stunned.

"Li Weng, among the Yang family, is there really no one with talent that can be used right now?" Xu Shu said with a smile, but his voice gradually became colder, "Li Weng, think about it carefully..."

The Yang family in Guanghan has basically been abolished now, and the property has been annexed by the Li family and the Wang family. The members of the family have little status in the officialdom. It is almost foreseeable that in more than ten years, or perhaps in a shorter period of time, the original The Yang family, with its orderly inheritance, is about to embark on the road of annihilation.

The third elder in Qixian County stared. In fact, he had already thought of an answer, but he did not dare to confirm it.

Normally, even if Liu Zhang fell, the Yang family in Guanghan should not fall so quickly. But for some reason, it seemed that at the same time, a series of problems broke out inside and outside the Yang family, including but not limited to Corruption and bribery, domineering disciples, arrogant servants causing trouble, etc., all accelerated the collapse of the Yang family, and a tall building was destroyed almost instantly.

At that time, the Li family was happily gnawing on the Yang family's body. Even if they found something wrong, they were taken away by the mouthful of flesh and blood. Now that Xu Shu had done this, the three elders of Qixian County suddenly discovered that the Yang family had collapsed. , it is indeed not simple.

"Could it be..." The third elder in Qixian County didn't know why, but he felt a little panicked. This was the first time since last night that he had been so emotionally flustered, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

If you really take it seriously, is there no shit in that low ass? If others don’t know clearly, don’t you know it yourself? The three elders of Qixian County used to think that Yang's shit basins were just a coincidence, but now they couldn't help but shudder.

After all, it took less than a year for the Yang family to go from a glossy heirloom of scriptures with "three thousand disciples" to a situation where everyone screamed and beat him up, like a rat crossing the street...

Of course, if before the fall of the Yang family, anyone goes to tell the Yang family that you are going to be unlucky, it will be over soon, the Yang family will not only not believe it, but even get angry, thinking that this person is doing it on purpose. provocative……

It's like Xu Shu stood in the ancestral hall of the Li family and expressed implicitly that the Li family was about to follow in the footsteps of the Yang family.

"Why?" "The third elder of Qixian County looked at Xu Shu and asked.

Xu Shu glanced at it and said, "Have you thought about it?" 』

Xu Shu did not need to explain to the three elders of Qixian County. Xu Shu only wanted an answer.

Although there are some great meanings in the classics in the modern scriptures that can serve the country and the king's rule, the "prophecy techniques" and "yin and yang disasters" in the modern scriptures are very detrimental to the ruling party.

To put it simply, if an earthquake, Huanglong, um, a mudslide, or even a meteor and other disasters and celestial phenomena occur during the period of governance, according to the theory of Jinwen Jingxue, it is a warning from heaven that the person in power is unethical and needs to Replacement, even imprisonment.

Under such circumstances, how can we develop stably?

Everyone doesn't have to work, just keep an eye on God.

What's more, the areas around Sichuan and Shu are even more complicated than those in Guanzhong Sanfu. Among the tribes of Nanman, there is still a market for these mystical sciences. During the Nanzhong rebellion, Yong Kai used ghost religion to induce the barbarians. Rebellion.

Therefore, for the sake of the stability of Sichuan and Shu, getting rid of this mysterious market is what Xu Shu must complete in the construction of spiritual civilization in Sichuan and Shu.

Ruling the country in accordance with the law, governing in accordance with the law...well, it's a conspiracy, that's pretty much what it means anyway. Imagine if Xu Shu implements a new policy, and the water in Jinjiang River happens to turn a little yellow, and then someone says "the yellow dragon turns over, the evildoer appears", and then points the issue to Xu Shu or even Fei Qian, the people of Sichuan and Shu will have enough judgment. To distinguish between good and bad things, true and false?

Even in later generations, after the people's wisdom has been opened to a certain extent, aren't they still often misled? Full of indignation and impassioned, from cause to effect, it was finally discovered that they were all fake and were simply being played like monkeys by some people...

So what should the court do when it encounters a situation like this?

Kill all these misguided people?

So we still have to solve the problem from the root...

Therefore, Xu Shucai spared the life of the Li family in Guanghan, and used Li's opportunity to tear apart the academic factions in Sichuan and Sichuan, and then promote official learning and take back the leadership of education, so as to break up the sectarian and absurd ideas of teacher-study and family-study in academics. The continuation of learning, the realization of learning in the government, keeps the inheritance of knowledge, talent training, literary and historical works, political discussions and appreciation of figures' political and public opinion activities under control, and becomes a measure for the regime to cultivate talents and suppress Yizhou's powerful people. .

This is giving medicine to the "root"!

Otherwise, the wildfire will not burn out, just kill a few people and punish a few tribes on the surface, and then turn around, new people will take the place of the Li family in Guanghan, and new grass will grow, which will also delay Zhuanghe's harvest, and there will be more. Just for hair? Of course, if Mr. Li is unwilling to cooperate, or is incompetent, just pull the pigtail in her hand and her life can be taken immediately...

In Sichuan and Shu, due to years of accumulation and a more closed environment than the outside world, the classes in Sichuan and Shu are very solidified. The nobles are the nobles, the big households are the big households, the ordinary people are ordinary people, and the surrounding barbarians are also the surrounding barbarians. , there is almost no chance of flow between these layers.

Like a pool of stagnant water.

In history, when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he brought a large number of Jingxiang sect figures and became the stirring sticks that stirred up the changes in Sichuan and Sichuan. Well, catfish, but now because of Fei Qian, this catfish is missing...

Zhuge Liang, an observer of the situation, saw the problem when he arrived in Chengdu and visited the market and official schools. Did Xu Shu himself not know this? Xu Shu took Zhuge Liang to check around Chengdu. Looking at those cottages was to show Zhuge Liang the current situation in Chengdu!

The Qinglong Temple of General Fei Qian was so powerful that it was just like how ordinary shops in later generations found it difficult to survive next to large shopping malls. It attracted those active-thinking people in Sichuan and Sichuan, but still stayed in Sichuan. Naturally, there are some left that "lay flat".

In other words, relatively "lying flat".

The result of this is that Fei Qiang has been promoting the examination in Guanzhong for several years, but among Sichuan and Shu, it cannot be promoted, or in other words, it has not had much effect. Those who are talented and learned do not come to refer to it, and those who come to refer to it do not scholarship. In various counties and counties, the local wealthy families are already very fat and fat. They have no problem raising hundreds or even thousands of clan members, so why bother to compete for the official positions of several hundred dan given by Xu Shu? ?

Nowadays, these "intellectuals" in Sichuan and Shu who want to advance have gone to Guanzhong. The remaining ones have houses, money, and horses. So how many of them are willing to compete with hundreds or even thousands of people for one? Location?

It’s like stagnant water!

Now Xu Shu wants to carve a way out of this pool of stagnant water!

"If..." The third elder of Qixian County gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "If... Mr. Li doesn't want to..."

Xu Shu still smiled and said: "There is also a Li family in Fujian County... I heard that among the Li family in Fujian County, there is Lin'er. He is good at learning and asking questions, and he can be a good heir..."

Do you understand?

Anyway, the confession has been broadcast throughout the city. This matter must be done even if it is not done!

I came here specifically to waste some words, but if I am willing to take the initiative, the effect will be better. If you are not willing, then there are alternatives...

As Xu Shu finished speaking, whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, one of the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Li family that was originally enshrined in the house fell down from the high table and hit the other spiritual tablets below. , and then fell to the ground with a crackle!

At this moment, the three elders of Qixian County seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt. They knelt down on the ground with a thud, walked forward on their knees, picked up the fallen spiritual tablets and held them in their arms. They seemed to have an emotional breakdown and burst into tears...

Xu Shu stood outside the door, glanced briefly, sneered, turned and left.

Seeing Xu Shu at the door, the Third Elder of Li County was really ready to leave without looking back. He quickly threw away the spiritual tablets and chased him out while crawling. He knelt down in front of Xu Shu with a groan and kowtowed to the ground, "Old... ...I am willing, willing! The Li family, all the Li family members in Guanghan are willing to do... I am willing to work hard to make you serve as a dog and horse..."

"Okay...not for me, but for the Hussars..." Xu Shu slowly moved away from the three elders of Li County and said, "Just prepare the list..."
