A cliché!
It is said that small countries are governed by the rule of people, and large countries are governed by the rule of law.
A powerful military and political country must have an extremely complete institutional system from point to line, and from line to surface. Take the Han Empire, which has been strong for five hundred years, as an example. It has political, military, economic, cultural and other aspects. In all aspects, they have extremely complete regulations and procedures.
This set of procedures can be said to be complicated. Based on this, the civil servants of the empire have to face a large number of complicated and trivial matters every day from top to bottom. But it is these trivial matters that constitute the flourishing tree of imperial administration and serve as the basis for the empire. Development provides continuous support to ensure the smooth progress of all work.
Therefore, a sound and smooth-running administrative management system is the central nervous system of a country and the most indispensable part of ensuring the prosperity of the Han Empire for more than 500 years.
Understanding this, Xun Yu's face turned dark when he heard the word "Gui Geng" asked by Chu Rushui.
In the "Han Laws and Regulations", it clearly stipulates the age at which Han officials and officials can retire and return to their hometowns. It says: Officials at or above the county level can retire to their hometowns when they are over 60 years old; officials below the county level can know their destiny after their age But return the power to the king, come and go voluntarily, and never force him to stay.
In human terms, that is to say, officials above the county magistrate (including the county magistrate) can apply to retire and return to their hometowns when they are over sixty years old, while those below the county magistrate can retire to the second line at the age of fifty.
The person who set this rule was Jiang Wan, who succeeded Zhuge Prime Minister that year.
In his opinion, this is an important measure to control the relative stability and youthfulness of the official team, an inevitable requirement to keep the blood of the bureaucracy evergreen, and a blessing given by the emperors of the Han Dynasty to the officials who have worked hard for most of their lives.
Of course, if you are not confused, you can continue to perform your duties until the Heavenly Family issues an edict. It is also a good choice for you to pack up and leave.
Xun Yu's face suddenly darkened just now, which was hidden in the secret of his age.
Xun Yu was already fifty-seven years old before he reached the position of county governor. On the other hand, Su Ran was already a feudal official with a salary as high as the Twelve Ministers when he was only fifty years old. And Xun Yu himself was much older than him. In one round, the difference was already huge.
The "Han Code" sounds good, but the key to ensuring that policies are implemented correctly lies in those in power!
In recent years, in order to promote newcomers and install cronies to deal with the family, the emperor Liu Yan, except for a few very special and troublesome ministers, all the others left as soon as they got there. Even the loyal veterans of the family had to retire. The second-tier age is also an edict and is absolutely unambiguous.
Chu Rushui's words are very colorful, but in the "Han Code", its original meaning is just one sentence.
Xun Yu, you are old!
Xun Yu was born in a famous family, but his learning was mediocre and he had no ambition and no brains. He didn't learn half of the abilities of his ancestor Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun, and he never realized the realm of achieving things in most of his life. If such mediocre people want to waste their time, It is simply difficult for Su Ran, who needs connections, connections, and talent, to reach heaven!
Thinking of reaching old age, Xun Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The speaker had no intention of listening, but the listener had the intention. Seeing Xun Yu's expression, Chu Rushui was overjoyed.
People are not sages, they are born with desires. Those who have desires will have something to seek, and those who have something to seek will have flaws.
Xun Yu, ah Xun Yu, I only used one sentence to reveal all your temptations. It seems that you are not an unpredictable player!
Hum! Now that I have caught your flaw, then the initiative lies with me and not you!
After thinking about it, Chu Rushui's heart moved, he stood up and took the initiative to serve Xun Yu tea, and then sat aside without knowing what to say. Gu Bo looked at Xun Yu who said nothing in surprise, as if he was surprised by Xun Yu's sudden melancholy just now. Nothing is known.
Xun Yu felt a bit bitter in his heart when someone talked about his pain point. He brought the tea and was about to drink it, but put it down. He sighed to himself and said with a wry smile, "Hey! I don't think about those things anymore when I get older! I just want to take care of myself before I retire." , seek more benefits for the people of Chisong County, and return to Yingchuan to retire in the future, so as to leave a good name."
Chu Rushui pursed his lips and chuckled, "I am an old man who has great ambitions. In his old age, martyrs are always ambitious. People who are determined to do something, although they are in their old age, their ambition will never be depressed, and their pursuit of grand ideals will never be depressed." It will stop. What? Before the last moment, do you want to know An Tian's fate?"
Xun Yu laughed at himself and said, "Isn't it good for a mediocre person like me to know how to live up to his destiny?"
Chu Rushui shook his head, "Haha! Mr. Xun is so humble! In recent years, it has become a trend for scholars from the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains to run north to escape the summer heat. After the Xiabai River was built, Chisong County, where Taibai Mountain is located, became the first choice for those big dudes to visit the mountains and rivers. The land. Your Excellency buys things based on the land and sells them to other places, so that all things in Chisong County are suitable. As the official in charge of the government, Master Xun has made an indispensable contribution."
Xun Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
The things you, Chu Rushui, just said are all right in front of you. Anyone with a discerning eye can see them at a glance. If you say them, it means you haven’t said them yet.
You, Chu Rushui, have been in the officialdom for most of your life, "Political achievements do not mean achievements, and the satisfaction of the people does not mean the satisfaction of the emperor." Why don't you say such heartfelt words?
Did you, Chu Rushui, come here just to fool me with sweet words and then ask me to do something?
Haha, you come to be someone else's lobbyist but you can't make policies based on them. Chu Rushui, Chu Rushui, you really made me think highly of you!
Thinking of this, Xun Yu decided to use his plan.
Therefore, Xun Yu made a smug expression and said, "I have no merit or virtue. I only have such a small amount of commendable political achievements. I can brag about it when I get older, hahaha!"
When Chu Rushui saw that Xun Yu had fallen into the trap, he was overjoyed. He added a handful of firewood and said passionately, "An extraordinary son will have a different life; a man of great virtue will have a long life. If I were the governor of Xun Yu, I would have to persist for a few more years." , In a few years, the land of Chisong County will be turned upside down, and he will surely achieve great success again. Your Majesty will definitely promote you to the rank of official in the border area. By then, won't it be just around the corner to revive the Xun family's reputation?"
Hearing this, Xun Yu felt a chill in his heart: Fart! Our Xun family has been a prominent family for hundreds of years. It is because of the attacks of your Jiang family that our family has been left in the cold. You, Chu Rushui, still have the nerve to mention the words "Glory to the lintel" in front of me? Shameless!
However, Xun Yu had a wry smile on his face and looked like he was about to die. He shrugged and shook his head and said, "When the world is peaceful, how can a scholar seek merit? Not to mention that this county has too little money to dedicate itself to a great cause!"
"Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger. If you want to gain wealth, you have to take risks and take risks. Back then, Bozhou Mu Su Ran went to the capital alone thousands of miles away and knelt in the long streets, which made the world angry and destroyed the flood of Le Er. What!"
Xun Yu remained silent.
He was struggling in his heart. The hatred he had with the Jiang family twenty years ago made him unwilling to trust Chu Rushui, the lobbyist sent by the Jiang family. However, his hard work for most of his life made him feel that relying on the Jiang family would help him. Perhaps you can seek greater fame and benefits.
His mood was like that of a fish in a fish tank, longing for freedom but unwilling to leave the comfort zone he had lived in for many years.
Seeing Xun Yu's wavering expression, Chu Rushui was about to close the net. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up, took a deep breath, and looked out the window. "We have accomplished a great feat today. I wonder if the governor would cherish his life?"
The sun rises to the top of the sky and shines on the earth, completely uniting the rivers, mountains and fields under her brilliant light.
At this time, Chu Rushui was like a bright light in front of Xun Yu!
"Is this the true intention of Chu Zhizhong's coming here?"
Xun Yu's expression calmed slightly. After several changes, fame finally defeated hatred.
He took a long breath and said, "You and I are like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. That's all. Tell me! Why did Jiangzhou Mu send you here?"
"Haha! Who wakes up from the big dream first? I know it all my life. The greatest blessing in my life is chatting with smart people!"
Chu Rushui smiled slightly and looked at Xun Yu, "I am indeed entrusted by Jiangzhou Mu to visit Mr. Xun. However, this trip is not for Jiangzhou Mu's personal gain, but for the survival of the Xun family."
Xun Yu spent his entire life as an official, and in his opinion, such alarmist remarks were as tasteless as farts.
But seeing Xun Yu's face as calm as water, he said, "Master Chu, you and I are both smart people. Don't be those strategists and lobbyists. Just say what you have to say, that's okay!"
Chu Rushui said with a smile, "The Jiang family adheres to etiquette and justice, upholds the integrity of the ruler and ministers, scolds father and son, and harmonizes brothers. Jiangzhou's pastoral literature has passed the seven skills and the martial arts seven virtues. Since the beginning, the Jiang family has made great contributions to the stability of the Central Plains, and their loyalty can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon. The Jiang family has made great achievements, so it is not too much to seek the king of Quzhou, right?"
Xun Yu was still a bit of a scholar. After hearing this, he completely forgot about fame and wealth. He became furious, overturned the teapot, stood up, slammed the table, and scolded, "Rebellious ministers and traitors, harming the country and the people, gathering troops to monopolize power." , stripped the Central Plains to pieces, and now you want to make yourself king? Ignorant! Shameless! Although I, Xun Yu, am greedy for power, even if I am careless until my death, I will not do anything that endangers the survival of the country."
At this time, Xun Yu's body was as straight as a peak, symbolizing his strength, integrity and fearlessness.
At this moment, he had quite a bit of the proud character of Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun back then. When the country was ruined and the family was in ruins, he still thought about being loyal and courageous, saving the country and the people, and supporting the Han Dynasty, and had no regrets until his death.
It is precisely this outstanding character that has made the Xun family unparalleled for hundreds of years.
It's a pity that Xun Yu doesn't understand!
...
Now that his face had been broken, Chu Rushui did not hesitate and immediately retorted with a sneer, "Xun Yu, Xun Yu, there are many county guards in the nine counties of Bozhou who want to get in touch with the Jiang family in Quzhou. Jiangzhou Mu will give Xun Yu Your Excellency, the opportunity to seek merit is for the sake of your Xun family's centuries-old glory, and to give you Xun's face. Now, Mr. Xun has turned you away. You really don't know the current affairs! Humph! Give you face. If you don’t want to, when the time comes when the Jiang family becomes the king of Quzhou, not to mention face, even whether you can save your life is the same thing!"
"Each flower has its own fragrance, each mountain and each river has its own spirit, each person has his own way, and different ways do not lead to each other." Xun Yu finally did not dare to offend the Jiang family, so he had no choice but to wave his sleeves and said, "Chu Zhizhong Please forgive me, I won’t send it away!”
Chu Rushui laughed loudly, "It's a bit inappropriate for Mr.
Xun Yu snorted coldly, "I am old and weak, and I have many physical discomforts. I cannot continue to entertain guests."
Chu Rushui sneered, "What? Mr. Xun has nothing more to ask of me, the Quzhou Jiang Sect, today?"
"Holding a machine and scale in hand, he will indulge in all kinds of evil plots and kill many loyal and good people to fulfill his selfish desires."
Xun Yu was full of energy and shouted fiercely, "You are such a traitor, what do I want to discuss with you? What do you want from me?"
roll!
