However, he felt that the second son could develop some military skills. You must know that people in the aristocratic family consider themselves elegant and are not interested in rough martial arts. Therefore, many military positions in the court are held by people from poor families. But the aristocratic family is not a fool, how could it be possible? The Han family was really allowed to take power, so only the low-level military positions were held by Hanshi, and the high-level ones were reluctantly taken over by the aristocratic family members. This made the aristocratic family members who knew the military very popular.

But in the end, Guo Yuanchang did not really spend any effort to educate his second son, because he knew very well that he had lost the support of his master's family. Unless he could return to officialdom and gain certain rights, even if his second son was really capable, he would not be able to Guo Yuanchang would not allow his son to do high-level military positions and low-level military positions.

Because it's embarrassing.

"Qu Zhirong Brigade" undermines the family status and is the consensus of the gentry. Being a high-ranking military attache is originally for gaining power and serving the country and the people, but there is still a fig leaf.

So I still concentrate on writing and hope for opportunities in the future.

While Guo Yuanchang was thinking, You Hongyin was also thinking about how to avoid disaster and take the first step of his own change.

Some people say that if you want to change the world, you must start with yourself. You Hongyin strongly agrees with this statement. Therefore, changing this weird environment will not take a day or two, so let's start with the Guo family.

Although You Hongyin felt for the first time that his goal this time might not be achieved.

It is not difficult to change one's destiny, but it is impossible to change one's mind through violence or tactics. Even in this environment, even rights have little effect. This requires time and education to slowly take effect. At the same time, the real power system needs to be changed, which means destroying the family.

You Hongyin felt that unless he really carried out a massacre and wiped out all the aristocratic families, it would be impossible to destroy the noble family class at this stage.

However, it is impossible for him to really choose a massacre, that would be too sad.

Fortunately, the target of this mission is not a paranoid or extreme person, and his temper is relatively easy to fool.

You Hongyin was not under great pressure.

"Does my father really care about the landscape and not seek fame and wealth? Or does he feel that the family's innocent reputation cannot be tarnished?" You Hongyin asked directly without taking any curveballs.

Guo Yuanchang suddenly asked about this matter. It was still his son. He was unnaturally surprised, but then he asked, "Why did Xi'er say this?"

You Hongyin said: "It's just that I suddenly felt emotional. Luoyang is indeed the city and prosperous, but if you think about it carefully, the literary style is not the most prosperous place. All the famous academic masters in the world do not settle in Luoyang. There is no one in our family. As an official, I no longer have any contact with the clan. My maternal family is not in Luoyang, so why do I have to live here? "

Guo Yuanchang frowned: "Your grandfather built three thatched cottages just to show the world that our Guo family is not attached to power or afraid of power. How can we abandon it at will? This is our homeland. No matter how bad it is, it’s easy to leave.”

You Hongyin said: "The character of not being afraid of power is inherited in the blood of my Guo family and has nothing to do with the house. Father, you are putting the cart before the horse."

When Guo Yang saw this, he immediately shouted: "Second brother, pay attention to your attitude."

You Hongyin said: "I don't care about status when it comes to academics. I just have questions, so I want to ask my father for advice."

Guo Yuanchang asked: "So, what do you think we should do?"

You Hongyin said: "My grandfather offended the emperor. Although everyone in the aristocratic family is not afraid of the imperial power, it does not mean that they will offend the royal family for my Guo family. This is why my father's family background is not bad, and he has a good reputation and good character. Good, but the Zhongzheng rating has never happened.”

Only after the Zhongzheng Rating has determined the grade, can one be qualified to be an official, but not everyone can participate in the Zhongzheng Rating.

Family background and character are indispensable, and even appearance is one of the important factors.

Yes, good looks are popular everywhere, and the same goes for such serious rating meetings.

Guo Yuanchang looked at the second son and asked, "How did you learn about these things?"

"A few days ago, some members of aristocratic families who were out on an outing were discussing something. Since they didn't notice me as a child, I listened to them talking for the entire afternoon, and the child's mind was somewhat clearer." You Hongyin said without panic.

Guo Yuanchang did not dwell on this aspect, but after thinking for a moment, he also told the reason: "Originally, such things cannot be expressed in words, they can only be understood. Xi'er, your words are too straightforward. ”

"Indeed, now our branch has long been estranged from the Guo family in Luoyang, all because the agreement between the Guo family and your grandfather was not fulfilled." Guo Yuanchang did not say anything about the agreement, and continued: "However, the power of the clan cannot I resist, and now my father sticks to these three thatched cottages, just hoping that others can truly distinguish our branch from the Guo family in Luoyang."

"My father wants to maintain his reputation. If he can use his reputation to suppress power during the Zhongzheng rating meeting and make those who have been advised by Sima to give in and refuse to let my father participate in the rating meeting, will he finally gain a good reputation and truly take power?" You said Hongyin didn't pay attention to any direct or indirect words, and if he didn't inspire others, he might be of no use at all.

"Xi'er, such vulgar words..." Guo Yuanchang frowned and opened his mouth to reprimand.

You Hongyin continued: "My father and grandfather are both Confucianists. Originally, Cao Wei was a Legalist. Nowadays, the Taoism of Lao Zhuang has been revived, and metaphysics, Taoism and Buddhism are popular among the people. The living space of Confucianism has been squeezed out. Relying on Confucianism to become famous... I am afraid that my father will not be able to follow the six arts of the gentleman. Our family. They all have limited talents, and their appearance is not outstanding. There is a huge difference between them and those who have true inheritance and are taught by famous teachers. I am afraid that those who are romantic are just imitating others. "

Guo Yuanchang frowned and seemed to be thinking.

"I understand that my father wants to gain a reputation, but these reputations may still have some effect among the countryside. In the eyes of the truly prosperous families, they are just a way to gain fame and reputation." You Hongyin said: "Although we are not on good terms with the Guo family in Luoyang, But ultimately, it’s not that we are unkind. Father, don’t forget, the Luoyang Guo family is just a former branch of the Guo family.”

Guo Yuanchang was suddenly shocked.

Yes, the Luoyang Guo family is indeed a branch. Where is the real origin of the Guo family? In Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is the place where the Guo family belongs.

"Do you mean to go back to Yingchuan?" Guo Yuanchang seemed to have changed his attitude at this moment.

Guo Yang was older, and he just wondered why his second brother suddenly became different. However, he had a very weak temper. Although he would scold his second brother for disrespecting his father, he would not express his opinions on these things that he did not understand. . The third son, Guo Miao, was even more confused. He had begun to lose focus and was sitting at the table, looking around for interesting things.

"No, just because the Luoyang Guo family gave up our branch, it does not mean that the Yingchuan Guo family will lend a helping hand." You Hongyin said: "Although Luoyang is the capital, it is too close to Shangdang, and the Xiongnu Xianbei All the ministries are watching with eager eyes, and it is still stable now, but it may not happen in a few months. "

To be precise, in more than three months, the Xiongnu will move south. Then, Luoyang will be besieged first, and then the back city will be sacked and then recaptured. This process took more than three years, and the emperors in the middle Changed several.

At the end of a dynasty, the emperor is expendable.

People from aristocratic families don't care at all who is the emperor, but they care very much who is the official. Why? Because being an official gives you the right. Don't think that people from aristocratic families are so noble. Without the protection of their rights, aristocratic families cannot even be called warlords.

"So, Xi'er, the most fundamental reason for you to leave Luoyang is because the place is unstable?" Guo Yuanchang asked.

"Not only because Luoyang is unstable, but also because instead of investing heavily in the one who is currently on the throne like the Guo family in Luoyang, it is better to think about which of the princes is more worthy of serving."

When Guo Yang heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this a bending of the waist, disloyal to the country, and unjust to the clan?"

You Hongyin smiled and asked, "Brother, do you know about the Zhuge family in Langya?"

Although the Guo family is in dire straits now, there are still lessons to be learned, and there are many thieves behind the family tree.

Guo Yang nodded: "Langya has outstanding people and many famous families, but when it comes to the Zhuge family, few people know about it."

"When Wei, Shu and Wu separated the world, the Zhuge clan became prime minister of Shu. Jinguan became the general of Dongwu. He was born the general of Zhendong of Wei. One family and three sides are the crown, and the world is prosperous." You Hongyin said : "This is the wise and wise way to protect yourself that a long-lasting family should have."

These three people are not famous all over the world, but they actually come from the same sect.

Guo Yuanchang said: "You want our branch to start from a different source."

You Hongyin said: "Fame can be effective for a while, but it cannot last forever, because we Han people pay attention to these things, and the Hu people don't." ° Think ° Rabbit ° in ° Line ° Read ° Read °

"How could a barbarian have such great power!" Guo Yuanchang didn't believe it.

You Hongyin understood that there was probably no nobleman in the world who believed that the Hu people could really unify the Central Plains.

Because, so far, although the Zahu have often prospered and often raided the interior, they have never established a truly unified political power.

Therefore, no one would believe that those barbarians have this ability.

"At least they have no problem killing people." You Hongyin didn't want to say more about this question, and directly exposed the barbarism of the barbarians.

Yes, they are barbaric, they are bloodthirsty, and they are cruel, so they will not consider many interests, nor will they care about things like reputation. For them, just take things back and kill those who resist. , simple, convenient and easy to understand.

Guo Yuanchang was silent.

Although he has never really served as a soldier, he understands what the barbarians are like.

"Let me think about it for two days." Guo Yuanchang said.

"My father can't let go of the business of two generations, but he doesn't know how to stop it, and he will be disrupted." You Hongyin finally persuaded.

You Hongyin is naturally a little pity. He is too young now, otherwise, he would have a different plan.

For example, the family returned to Yingchuan, but my father had a profound enlightenment and decided to live in seclusion in a famous mountain. From then on, he lived with the mountains and rocks, and the clear water. He also gained a reputation for being arty, such as creating a new font, etc. No one is better at building public opinion than You Hongyin. By then, Guo Yuanchang might have been promoted out of the ordinary, and his family would have been divided into two places due to the war. The three years of war were enough for You Hongyin to think of ways to brainwash the rest of the family.

It's a pity that he is too young and cannot live without the blessing of his father, so he can only be a shadow behind him.

He is so sharp, can Guo Yuanchang see the flaw?

You Hongyin believed that he must have seen it, but this person would not say it out loud, and would even help cover it up.

This is the son of an aristocratic family cultivated by an aristocratic family. He is either as fame-conscious as Guo Yuanchang, or lazy and likes to talk about idle things. Those with good character and ability are probably rare.

However, at least among the aristocratic families, there is still reason to talk, because they are well-educated and polite, while the common people sometimes have nothing to say.

People's character is innate and acquired, but in the final analysis, if you want a good environment, you still need sufficient productivity and educate the people.

You Hongyin is young for the time being, and he has no money, no food, and no people. He can't rely on any help behind him. It is useless to think about the world now. Thinking about how to strengthen oneself is the right thing to do.

This is another reason why You Hongyin chose to help Guo Yuanchang.

Guo Yuanchang really thought about it for two days, and even postponed a gathering for a casual conversation, but in the end, he still did not give up the reputation that the two generations of the Guo family had built over more than ten years, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope.

However, Guo Yuanchang did take the opinions of his second son into consideration, but he felt that he was no longer able to start over, so he chose to give his second son a chance, and also to leave a chance for his own family: "The Yingchuan Guo family has no relationship with our branch, but when your grandfather was alive, he had a relationship with
