Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 63

The so-called "stain" on Cai Yong's body is really nothing to Zhong Ping.

If it is said that Cai Yong does not distinguish between right and wrong, and blindly breaks out with "Mother's heart", sympathizes with Dong Zhuo's miserable death, and thus chooses to cry...

Even the crime of being exiled for three thousand miles is not a serious crime.

This is fundamentally broken, and it is no different from those public knowledge who whitewashed war criminals.

Would you lick such a well-known public just because you want to get a recommended spot?

The flat answer is of course no.

It's not that he has no choice. Those who study Confucian classics in Chang'an are ranked from Xun You Wang Yun to Ma Riqiu.

One counts as one, as long as Zhong Ping opens his mouth, most of them will be happy to accept him as a disciple.

However, Zhong Ping still chose to save Cai Yong and learn from him.

Of course, this cannot be just because Zhong Ping has studied "Hu Jia's Eighteen Pai".

After all, if you really want to talk like this, he has memorized a lot of literary works of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Is it really necessary to save all the authors with the left hand and the right hand?
Zhong Ping made up his mind to speak for Cai Yong, and a large part of the reason was that Ma Rixun mentioned Cai Yong's secret words when interceding:

Among them, "open up the way of speaking, so that 'loyal ministers show their madness and straightness', 'know their own affairs inside, and see people's sentiments outside'; investigate the long history of governing the people, 'take benefits as achievements, and work with the sun and the moon', and use the merits of political achievements , fixed rewards and punishments, promoted and dismissed".

As soon as these two items came out, Zhong Ping probably knew what Cai Yong's character was like.

"If you want to be filial and honest, your father will live away. If you want to be a scholar, you don't know books."

The promotion of Xiaolian in the Han Dynasty did play a positive role in selecting talents and guiding social trends and values.

However, the discourse power of "promoting filial piety and honesty" is ultimately controlled by the gentry. In essence, its class nature determines that this system must do more harm than good.

In the end, Ju Xiaolian gave birth to many abnormal behaviors on the one hand, "pretending to be fake to invite reputation, fishing for surprises to surprise the vulgar".

Like something like keeping a filial piety in the tomb for more than 20 years after his father died...

In order to gain fame, all kinds of monsters and monsters appeared.

On the one hand, the powerful and noble families began to set the number of filial piety and honesty by default.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: "The shepherds of the prefectures and counties inherit the order of the wind, call for elections, explain the virtuous and win the fools", "steal names and false clothes, compete with others, rich and powerful officials, please visit Fanxing".

In the fourth year of Yanguang, "if the governor of the prefecture and the country are under the age of one, all must be filial and honest officials."

After the age restriction was lifted, the system of filial piety and honesty has become a major way for officials to recruit students and build private groups.

It can be said that the rise of the powerful family is inseparable from the corruption of this system.

However, Cai Yong chose to report the "filial piety" who was not worthy of the name, and at the same time, he hoped that the imperial court could use political achievements as a criterion for the selection and appointment of officials.

It proved that he did not lose himself after taking the bonus of being a gentry, and he could be regarded as a reformer.

In addition, Cai Yong’s actions are measured by the dual monarchy system of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emperor is the first-tier monarch and the monarch of the world. The relationship between his subordinates is the second relationship between monarch and minister.

This is why when later generations commented on Cai Yong crying Dong Zhuo, they often regarded this action as out of "righteousness", and praised the evaluation as the mainstream.

Zhong Ping felt that if it was Cai Yong, he might be able to accept some of his "too novel" ideas.

Therefore, after he became Taishi Ling, on the first day he visited Cai Yong, he expressed his desire to learn Confucian classics from him.

"Cai Zhonglang is a great scholar of Confucian classics. I think Boheng also innovated and innovated on the classics, and he has unique insights." Cao Cao leaned his elbows on the table, looking very interested.

Cao Cao naturally heard that Zhong Ping had a lot of respect for Cai Yong, and both he and Cai Yong had good friends with Qiao Xuan.

According to Cao Pi's preface to "Cai Bojie's Female Fu": "My father-in-law and Cai Bojie have a good relationship with Bao", it can also be seen that the two are close friends who have forgotten their years.

Therefore, not only did Cao Cao not have any prejudice against Zhongping, but he admired Zhongping even more. When he asked about Zhongping's studies, he really brought himself into the status of an elder.

Zhong Ping was a little embarrassed for a while.

What's the matter, reading comprehension still needs to be tested after time travel?
He did annotate a few chapters of "East View of Han Ji", thinking that the private goods were hidden without anyone noticing, and there was no overly advanced or outrageous thoughts in it.

However, it was Cao Cao in front of him after all, and Zhong Ping was always worried that when he opened his mouth, the other party would notice that he had lost his mind, and what was waiting for him was to say "fork out" with a black face.

There was peace on this plane, and he frowned slightly as if thinking, but in his heart he shouted "Alas".

He also knows that in today's world, Confucian classics are the stepping stones to get out of the officialdom, and among scholars, it is even more popular to discuss and criticize the current malpractice.

But after all, he received less education in traditional Confucian classics, and it was really difficult for him to cope with such daily communication only with the ancient prose he had learned in his previous life.

Furthermore, when Zhong Ping heard the bad news suddenly, his heart was fluctuating, and he was unsure, and he couldn't concentrate on recalling any scriptures.

He was still thinking of persuading Cao Cao to send troops, so he could only stop now.

Zhongping can be said to be true without any preparations, and at this time he can only bite the bullet and "speech nonsense":
"Pingchang heard that Zilu ruled Pu for three years. Confucius passed by and entered its territory and said: "It's good, you should be respectful and trustworthy"; "It's good because it's good, and it's clear to judge."

"From this, the note says: The sage sees the small and knows the work."

"If there is no chaos, it is easy to control; when there is chaos, it is easy to control; if there is chaos, there is no form of chaos, that is to say, there will be chaos, and chaos will be difficult to control. There can be no rush of chaos, nor can there be no relaxation of chaos."

""Book of Changes·Xi Ci 下":'The slightest movement of a few is the forerunner of auspiciousness. A gentleman will do it after seeing a few, and not wait for the whole day.'"

"My humble opinion, it's hard to be elegant, my uncle laughed at me."

Zhongping fully mobilized his brain cells to stimulate the rapid secretion of adrenaline with the feeling of tension like a college entrance examination answer sheet.

Finally, I managed to sort out a decent answer.

When Cao Cao heard the sentence "there is chaos in the bud, there is no chaos in the shape...", he couldn't help clapping his hands together, and laughed loudly: "hahaha, Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, this is really the finishing touch!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhongping's sleeves, looked up and down carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he sighed repeatedly: "Why are you not my family?!"

Xun Yu was also a little distracted, repeating what Zhong Ping said in his mouth, the more he chewed, the more subtle he felt the words.

Inevitably, I also recalled Xun You's correspondence with him in the past, saying that Zhongping "has unique insights, often has people's words, a real unicorn".

Such a beautiful child, if I have a daughter...

Cao Cao and Xun Yu both looked at Zhong Ping, who was anxious in his heart:
This is really my son-in-law!
