Xun Shuang is the last guest in Lu Zhi's house today, and he is also the twenty-seventh person who wants to entrust his children to Liu Bei and is willing to pay some price.
However, most of Liu Bei did not accept it and just made fun of it.
Not every famous young person is worthy of the name Xun You or Xun Yu, and not every talented person is a real talented person.
Liu Bei knew He Yong. This famous person who commented on Xun Yu's talents as a king's assistant said personally that he had evaluated five or six talents of a king's assistant, but except for Xun Yu, the others were not well-known and Liu Bei had never heard of them.
It can be seen that whether Wang Zuozhi's talent is real or not depends on probability.
As long as he becomes one, He Yong will be a great sage with a discerning eye. Even if he fails, there will be no loss.
So if we really want to get to the bottom of it, the "talents" evaluated by these celebrities are really a mixed bag, and there are many parallel imports that are not worthy of the name. If we really want to take them all, won't our side become a hodgepodge?
If others don't know, how can Liu Bei not know?
Those who come from a humble family may need to be investigated, but those who come from a powerful family but have an unlimited reputation are all parallel imports - there are so many resources for irrigation, but in the end, they can't be promoted or supported, so what else can you say?
But speaking of it, the gentry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period are really interesting.
Taking the death of Zhuge Liang as the dividing line, from the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising to the death of Zhuge Liang, in the fifty years, famous noble families emerged in large numbers, stars shone brightly, and every village had its masters and talents.
It seems that all the talented people from noble families in the entire land of China have exploded in the past fifty years. Talents like Xiao He's rebirth and Zhang Liang's reincarnation can be found everywhere.
After Zhuge Liang's death, it took nearly fifty years for the Three Kingdoms to return to Jin.
During this period, the entire land of China, not to mention the shining stars, could be regarded as silent, and there were almost no outstanding military and political talents, so that the Sima family, which relied on conspiracy and treachery to rise to the top, could reach the top and achieve its foundation.
It seems that the blowout in the past fifty years has wiped out this wave of talent reserves. After one generation dies, the next generation will have no talent.
The first 50 years and the last 50 years are almost not on the same level. The fault is too obvious, giving people a huge sense of gap, and people can't help but sigh.
Of course, nothing happens without signs, nor can it be pure metaphysics.
The occurrence of this kind of thing is inseparable from the fact that Cao Pi and Chen Qun began to promote the nine-level Zhongzheng system in the first year of Cao Wei and Huangchu.
After this method of selecting talents is institutionally established, the upper class no longer has to deal with the dark horses who suddenly appear from the lower class.
If at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lower class society could occasionally surprise everyone with a dark horse, then after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was no longer an unspoken rule for the top class to have no Han family and the bottom class to have no nobles, but a formal rule.
So the dark horses no longer have a chance to make a splash.
The children of the upper class relied on the rigid rules of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System to win without hesitation. They no longer needed to take rolls or maintain a sense of tension to improve their knowledge. As a result, the upper class society quickly deteriorated and quickly became a stagnant water. The speed was so fast that it was shocking. Breathtaking.
They won.
If you roll, there may be elites, but if you don’t roll, in ten or twenty years, they will all be nothing but insects.
Even in the current era, as a descendant of the Xun family, not everyone is a talented person, and there is a difference.
Xun You and Xun Yu, the uncles and nephews, have been proven by history to be really talented, and Liu Bei also knows how to use them to maximize their talents.
The rest of the unknown people are at most just the talents of others. People who are interested in flattering them or trying to make them look good can't do it. There is really nothing to say, and bragging is really unconvincing.
There are such middlemen everywhere.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, but Xunshi showed his intention to get closer to him so openly. Did he already see something?
Have you realized that the general trend of the world is changing and that everything in the past may not be able to come back?
Liu Bei didn't want to make any more guesses.
He now has the qualifications and foundation that he no longer needs to think wildly. He is now the inheritor of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" and has the legitimate right to open a library and teach disciples.
Those who listened to his lectures were his disciples.
The ones who are closer are his disciples.
Disciples and disciples naturally form a community of interests with their teachers, and the teacher basically occupies the dominant position. The five persons who cannot be violated or offended in the ethical relationship of Confucianism - the king of heaven and earth, the master, the teacher, are also among these ranks. .
This group will become a force that Liu Bei can trust and honor.
In addition, the people he recruited as Liangzhou shepherds and generals of chariots and cavalry were his subordinates. In the future, they would become his former officials if they took up positions in the court or local areas without his subordinates.
Even if they do not directly accept his leadership, as long as they are introduced into the official career by Liu Bei and are qualified to become officials by Liu Bei, then they cannot offend Liu Bei in the future no matter how big their official position is.
Disciple (disciple), old official.
These people will form a second-level monarch relationship with Liu Bei in the operating rules of political logic in the late Han Dynasty.
As long as Liu Bei does not rebel, they cannot oppose Liu Bei on major policies. Even if they only follow him verbally, they must shout out their support. Otherwise, it will be a huge political incorrectness and they will be abandoned and end up miserable.
This is how the distinction between superior and inferior among the Wenyue family group started.
Some families only have disciples. Because their official positions are low and their political power is very small, they cannot cultivate a group of old officials and make them the political force of the family. Therefore, the family's reputation is not prominent, and the group of disciples is limited to a hundred people.
A family like the Yuan family not only has more than a thousand disciples, but also has a prosperous official career, has officials all over the world, and has great political power. It is also a well-known leader among the Wenyue family.
Although everyone in the Wenyue family is basically academically equal, even among equals, these blood monsters can use various forms to create inequality for you and find ways to differentiate them.
Liu Bei now has the ability to compete with Yuan in fact. Whether it is official position or academic status, he and Yuan Wei can be considered equal.
If we have to say there is something different, it can only be said that Liu Bei did not have a father who was the third prince. But if we really want to go back further, Liu Bei's ancestors were still emperors. Did your ancestors of the Yuan family have emperors?
So when Yuan Wei left Lu Zhi's house with an inexplicable expression on his face, Liu Bei saw it, but said nothing.
He and Yuan Wei were never the same person, they just happened to be together for some purpose during a special period.
But now, with the death of Yang Ci, Zheng Xuan's departure, the crisis in Hedong County and the chaos in Bingzhou that are difficult to resolve, the dispute between modern and ancient literature has actually entered a stalemate stage.
The change in the general trend of the world has undoubtedly affected the mainstream thinking of the Luoyang court. The explosive moment of the passionate confrontation between modern and ancient literature has passed.
Unless the military turmoil and crisis in the world can be calmed down in a short period of time, it is unlikely that the dispute between modern and ancient literature will return to its previous mainstream state.
The Jinwen School is undoubtedly at its lowest point now. The newly established military agent Huangfu Song is facing the crisis of being killed, and is basically certain to be killed. In this case, the Jinwen School has suffered a political and military failure. It's unlikely to be exciting in the short term.
The Modern Literature School also entered the era dominated by Lu Zhi because of Zheng Xuan's departure. However, the Yuan family did not obey Lu Zhi, and sooner or later the two sides would have a head-on conflict.
The future situation in Luoyang is likely to change from the confrontation between the ancient literary school and the modern literary school to the confrontation between two new political groups. Lu Zhi and Yuan Wei will both have a great influence and even directly oppose each other.
By that time, Yuan must be Liu Bei's enemy.
But no matter what, his plan in Liangzhou is what he relies on to remain invincible.
As long as he continues to complete his plan in Liangzhou, when Liu Hong's life ends, the drama will begin.
He is going back, he is going back to Liangzhou, back to his own stage, continuing to consolidate his foundation and enhance his power in all aspects.
Liu Bei stayed in Luoyang for another four days, spending time with his mother and children, and meeting his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.
During this period, he took some time to visit Ma Rixi.
