The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

At the end of March, a person came to Ye County.

This person was Liang Qiling, who was appointed by the imperial court.

Because of the Yellow Turbans and the Toxin Rebellion, the county magistrates of several counties in Wei County were either killed in battle or gave up their posts and fled. They lacked genuine magistrates. The incumbents were all "guardian magistrates" appointed by Xun Zhen, such as Wu'an. Liu Bei, etc., this situation cannot last for a long time. It is related to the imperial court's grasp of local power. The so-called only weapons and names cannot be granted to others. This "tool" refers to the state official position. He appointed a person to be the commander of the vacant counties in Wei County, but only for two reasons, such a person has not come until today.

One of these two reasons is that the procedure is slow. Some people appointed as Weijun county magistrates are already in office. It takes a certain amount of time for the imperial edict to be sent to their place of office. It takes a certain amount of time to get to Wei County, which is too late. Another reason is that the world is in chaos, roads are blocked, and there are thieves everywhere in the state and county, even if someone appointed as Wei County mayor is at home Those who lived idle, never entered office, and whose home was not far from Wei County, but they might encounter thieves on the road and died. For example, the county magistrate of Zhongqiu County, Zhao County, the three of them have not been able to come to the place where they took office. , either died of illness on the road, or died in the middle of a thief. Until now, the county magistrate, Puhu, is still in charge of political affairs. Because of these two reasons, until now, only one county magistrate has come to Wei County to take office.

However, although Shanshan came late and only one came, it was the "Ming Qing" sent by the imperial court, but Xun Zhen also attached great importance to it. Treat him to a feast.

However, although Liang Qiling, who was appointed by the imperial court, has arrived, Chen Dao, who is now acting for Liang Qiling, does not have to resign immediately.

Because according to the stories of the Han family, a county can have both true orders and false orders, so it is said that the prefect has great power. Within a county, the county officials regard the prefect as the "lord" for this reason.

The county magistrate appointed by the imperial court is of course a "true" order, but the prefect can also find an excuse. Order to govern, so in other words, the current "Shou Liang Qi Order" Chen Dao does not have to be dismissed immediately because of the "true" order.

In other words, that is to say, the "true" order has just taken office, regardless of whether he has served as a local county magistrate before, and whether he is familiar with government affairs or not, because he has not yet started to govern in Liangqi, so Xun Zhen can Chen Dao's position as "Shou Liang Qi Ling" was temporarily relieved under the pretext of "really new arrivals, not familiar with local government affairs, because of the temporary cooperation of 'shouling' to work".

All in all, now is a critical moment when Xun Zhen collects all the illegal and disciplinary matters of the Zhao family in Ye County. He will never give up control of the local counties, because the people of the Zhao family in Ye County are not only in Ye County who violated the law and violated discipline. , and all the counties in Wei County have such behavior, so if the local magistrate is from Xun Zhen's side, it will obviously help to find evidence of the Zhao family in Ye County.

To welcome the arrival of the real Liang Qiling appointed by the court, Xun Zhen kept him in Ye County for a day, and the next day he sent someone to take office in Liang Qi, and Xun Zhen wrote to Chen Dao with this real Liang Qiling. In a letter from Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen explained to Chen Dao that he wanted him to cooperate with the real order on the surface, but he must not delegate power to him unless it was a last resort.

Xun Zhen was very reassured about this. Although it was the first contact with the real order sent by the imperial court, after such a day of contact, Xun Zhen found out that this person was not a very capable person, so in this case, The ability of this real commander is not very outstanding, and Chen Dao was appointed by Xun Zhen, and Chen Dao has been looking forward to Liang for a long time, and he has Xun Zhen's care, and Xun Zhen's prestige is now in Wei County No one can compare, so even if Chen Dao is not willing to continue to control the power of the county and wants to take the power into his hands, this real order must be helpless, just because this real order was appointed by the imperial court. As a last resort, Xun Zhen didn't want to tear his face with him, lest he get a bad reputation, so he explained that Chen Dao had to cooperate with this real order on the surface.

But having said that, Xun Zhen was not a domineering, powerful person, the reason why he ordered Chen Dao, in the end, was just to kill Zhao.

For now, Xun Zhen doesn't want power, but fame. As long as fame has, power will naturally come after the world is in chaos.

The real order sent by the imperial court came to one, but there is no need to say more, just say that entering April, I have heard of several major events one after another.

The first thing I heard was that Cao Cao was worshipped by the court as the prefect of Dongjun.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was appointed as the Captain of the Cavalry. He dipped in the glory of Huangfu Song and made some military exploits. Soon after, he became a prosperous leader, and he was worshipped as the Prime Minister of Pei. He is insightful and different from the sons of eunuchs who are greedy and arrogant. The local tyrants, even the children or in-laws of the **** family, he does not give face, so vigorous and drastic, he must have offended a lot of people, including the **** group, for this reason, he was removed from Pei Prime Minister's office.

This is a different life.

Based on Cao Cao's past deeds, he served as the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and he killed Jian Shuo's uncle, who was a Xiaohuangmen at the time and was highly trusted by today's sons, and offended many **** families when he was the prime minister of Pei. The sons of the nobles may have been killed or convicted by eunuchs long ago. Even in the case of Xun Zhen, although his reputation has grown, but if he did what Cao Cao did, even if he was not executed, he would at least be captured. He was sent to prison, but Cao Cao was safe and sound. Not only was he not convicted, he was not even demoted, but he was removed from the position of Prime Minister of Pei and changed to the prefect of Dongjun.——Han is the system of the county, the county and the country, etc., the country Both the prime minister and the prefect are two thousand stones.

Why is this so? In the final analysis, it was caused by the "Yu Yin" of Cao Cao's ancestors. Cao Cao was from a family of eunuchs. Therefore, although he did so many things that were "biased to the gentry", he was still not convicted by the eunuchs.

Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, served in the palace for more than 30 years and served four emperors. He was the senior of the eunuchs of this dynasty, such as Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang. When they were still juniors in the palace, Cao Teng had the power. It's been a while, and Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is also highly trusted by today's son. In this case, the eunuchs must give some face to the Cao family. After all, there is incense and Cao Song. Therefore, although Cao Cao offended the **** group, he was only removed from the position of Prime Minister of Pei and changed to the prefect of Dongjun.

Dongjun and Peiguo are both rich and fertile prefectures. This change is not a promotion, but it is not a demotion. The eunuchs probably mean: You have gone too far in Peiguo, let's change your place.

Speaking of which, this is of course the love of the **** group, but what kind of person is Cao Cao?

He knew very well that he had offended the **** group this time, and the eunuchs would not punish him, but what about the next time? If he becomes the prefect of Dongjun, what will he do if he offends the **** group again? Peiguo and Dongjun are both fertile counties, and there are many eunuchs’ children, in-laws, and cronies in the counties. Cao Cao has “the ambition to invite the world to be famous”, which means that he has betrayed the **** family he came from. That is to say, even if he arrives in Dongjun, it is impossible for him to change his usual style of governance, and he will definitely offend the **** group again. , isn't it about to eat fine wine?

One "mistake", Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and other palace attendants could give him a favor because Cao Teng and Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, came to intercede for him, but if he did the same for the second time, then he would be sympathetic. There is no need to leave the face.

Because of this incident, Cao Song not only stood up for Cao Cao and interceded for him, but also wrote a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to stop being the prefect of Dongjun as he was the prime minister of Pei.

However, as Cao Cao, he refused to change his aspirations.

Cao Cao is a visionary. Although the power of eunuchs is great, now it can be said that he is covering the sky with one hand, but the group of eunuchs has already provoked the anger of the whole world. How could he change his original intention at this time?

That is to say, even if he is transferred to Dongjun as the prefect, he will "not change his ambition".

If he obeys his father's orders, he will go against his will. If he does not obey his father's orders and does not change his will, he may get into trouble. In such a situation, between a dilemma, Cao Cao chose not to change himself. Zhi, but in order not to cause trouble for his upper body, after weighing it, he felt that he could not take office in Dongjun, so he finally decided to return the disease to the village.

This is a helpless concession and compromise.

It's still the same sentence, Cao Cao has the "Yu Yin" of his ancestors, if it is Xun Zhen, if he refuses to take office, then go home and go home. "Yin", although he chose to "return to his hometown", the court still gave him "compensation" and worshipped him as the minister. Although Yilang is one of the officials, he is the most honorable among the officials. Those who can get this position are either famous scholars in the world, or the two thousand stones. Anyone who is worshipped as a minister, if they go out to office again, they will be It's very tall, and it's a little bit backstage, and it's just two thousand stones.

This kind of treatment, such as Xun Zhen, the children of the famous clan in the prefectures and prefectures can never get it, except for the children of the **** family such as Cao Cao, that is, the children of the prominent royal family such as Yuan Shao, probably can get it.

However, although Cao Cao's treatment was good, it violated his wishes after all.

Although Xun Zhen and Cao Cao have not met each other in the past few years, they keep writing letters. The last time about Li Hu, Xun Zhen wrote a letter to Cao Cao. Xun Zhen soon learned from Cao Cao's letter that Xun Zhen had nothing to say, so he could only write back a letter to him, saying that it would be good to take this opportunity to raise one's aspirations, and that there would be a day of comeback sooner or later.

After the letter was sent to Cao Cao, Xun Zhen was quite sighed.

For example, Cao Cao, although his reputation has not yet become famous, especially because he was born in a family of eunuchs, he is despised by many children of his soldiers, but his ambition and vision have already been revealed. When he is removed from Prime Minister Pei and changed to the prefect of Dongjun County, he may change his position. He was originally from a family of eunuchs, so it is normal to be biased towards the family of eunuchs, and it is very beneficial to his career and wealth. He Leer Why not? But Cao Cao does not. Because he has vision, correct judgment, insists on his will, even if he is setback, he will not change. Only such a person can make great achievements.

Not long after, Xun Zhen heard another thing, but it was Yuan Shao who moved to be the general of Hu Benzhong.

What is the position of Hu Benzhong Lang? For example, for example, the head of the Central Guard Corps in later generations, although it is only two thousand stone, has always been filled by nobles, and it is a post of dignitaries. Yuan Shao used to be the official of the imperial court, and the official of the imperial court was an official of a thousand stones. Although his authority was heavy, he was only a subordinate official, not a long-standing official. He was promoted from the official of the imperial court to the general of Hu Benzhong. This was a great deal. leap.

Look at Xun Zhen's own career, and then look at the careers of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Although the Xun family has a clear name, it is only a prominent family in the prefecture, and it is still incomparable with the great nobles such as Cao and Yuan.
