Chapter 179
"A few days ago, some aristocratic families who were on an outing discussed something. Because I didn't notice the child, I listened to them talking all afternoon, and the child's mind was a little clearer." You Hongyin said without panic.
Guo Yuanchang didn't bother about this anymore, but he thought about it for a moment, but he also explained the reason: "Originally, such things are unspeakable and can only be felt. Xi'er, your words are too straightforward gone."
"Indeed, our branch has long been in harmony with the Luoyang Guo family, because the agreement between the Guo family and your grandfather has not been fulfilled." Guo Yuanchang did not say anything about the agreement, and continued: "However, the power of the clan cannot Li Kang, now sticking to these three thatched huts for my father is just hoping that others can really distinguish our branch from the Luoyang Guo family."
"Father wants to keep his family style. If he can use his name to suppress power during the Zhongzheng rating meeting, and let those who have been told by Sima that he refuses to let his father participate in the rating meeting back down, will he really gain power after gaining a good reputation?" You said. Hong Yin didn't pay attention to any blunt or blunt words, and was a little bit indifferent, fearing that it would be of no use at all.
"Xi'er, such vulgar words..." Guo Yuanchang frowned, ready to reprimand him.
But You Hongyin continued: "Father and grandfather are both Confucianists. Originally, Cao Wei was a legalist, but now he is promoting the Taoism of Laozhuang. Metaphysics, Taoism, and Buddhism are loved by everyone. The living space of Confucianism has long been squeezed. There are not many left, relying on Confucianism to become famous... Father is afraid that this road will not work. The six arts of a gentleman, our family is all limited in talent, and not outstanding in appearance. There is a huge difference between people who have inherited and taught by famous teachers. The attitude is nothing but imitation."
Guo Yuanchang frowned, and seemed to be thinking.
"I understand that my father wants to win a good name, but these reputations may still have some effect in the countryside. In the eyes of the truly prosperous families, they are just gaining fame." You Hongyin said: "Although we are not on good terms with the Guo family in Luoyang, But in the final analysis, it’s not that our branch is not benevolent. Father, don’t forget that the Luoyang Guo Clan is just a former branch of the Guo Clan.”
Guo Yuanchang was shocked suddenly.
Yes, the Luoyang Guo family is indeed a branch. Where is the real origin of the Guo family?In Yingchuan.
Yingchuan is the land of the Guo clan.
"Do you mean to go back to Yingchuan?" Guo Yuanchang seemed to have changed his attitude at this moment.
Guo Yang is older, and he just wonders why the second brother has suddenly become different, but he has a very weak temper. Although he will scold the second brother for disrespecting his father, he will not express his opinion on these incomprehensible things .And the third son, Guo Miao, was even more confused, and had already begun to lose focus, sitting at the table, looking around for interesting things.
"No, Luoyang Guo's abandonment of our branch does not mean that Yingchuan Guo's will lend a helping hand." You Hongyin said: "Although Luoyang is the capital of the city, it is too close to Shangdang, and the Xiongnu Xianbei All the ministries are watching, and it is still stable now, but after a few months, it might not be."
To be precise, in more than three months, the Xiongnu will go south. Then, Luoyang will be besieged first, and then the city will be destroyed and looted, and then recaptured. This process took more than three years, and the emperor in the middle Changed several.
At the end of a dynasty, the emperor is a consumable.
People in the aristocratic family don't care who is the emperor at all, but care who is the official, why?Because being an official has power.Don't think of the members of the aristocratic family so lofty, without the protection of rights, the aristocratic family can't even be called a warlord.
"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 current throne like the Guo family in Luoyang, it is better to think about which one of the princes is more worthy of investment."
Hearing this, Guo Yang couldn't help asking: "Isn't this a way to bow down, disloyal to the country, and unrighteous to the clan?"
You Hongyin smiled and asked, "Brother, do you know the Zhuge family in Langya?"
Although the Guo family is miserable now, they still have the homework they should have, and the family trees of each family are thieves.
Guo Yang nodded: "Langya has outstanding people and many famous families, but when it comes to the Zhuge family, I'm afraid there are very few people who don't know about it."
"When Wei, Shu and Wu ruled the world, Zhuge's family, Liang was the prime minister of Shu, and the official of Jin was the general of Dongwu, and he was born as the general of Wei and Zhendong. One family and three sides are the crown, and the world is proud of it." You Hongyin said. : "This is the wise and safe way that a long-lived family should have."
These three people, which one is not famous all over the world, actually come from the same school.
Guo Yuanchang said: "You want our branch to start from another source."
You Hongyin said: "Fame can be used for a while, but it can't be kept for a lifetime, because we Han people pay attention to these things, and Hu people don't."
"How can a barbarian have such great ability!" Guo Yuanchang didn't believe it.
You Hongyin understood that no gentry in this world believed that the Hu people could really unify the Central Plains.
Because, so far, although the Zahu have often flourished and often plundered the inland, they have never established a truly unified regime.
Therefore, no one would believe that those barbarians would have this ability.
"They at least have no problem killing people." You Hongyin didn't want to say more about this question, and directly exposed the brutality of the barbarians.
Yes, they are barbaric, they are bloodthirsty, and they are cruel, so they don't think about many interests, and they don't care about things like reputation. , simple and convenient, easy to understand.
Guo Yuanchang was silent.
Although he has never been a scholar, he understands what the Hu people are like.
"Wait for me to think about it for two days." Guo Yuanchang said.
"Father couldn't let go of the business of two generations, but he didn't know when to stop it, and he would suffer from it." You Hongyin finally persuaded.
It's a pity for You Hongyin, he is too young now, otherwise, he would have made another plan.
For example, the whole family went back to Yingchuan, but his father was so enlightened that he decided to live in seclusion in a famous mountain. Since then, he has been with mountains and rocks and clear water, and then spread some arty reputation, such as creating a new typeface and so on.No one is better at creating public opinion than You Hongyin.At that time, Guo Yuanchang might be promoted out of the ordinary, and his family will be divided into two places due to the war. The three years of war are enough for You Hongyin to think of ways to brainwash the rest of the family.
It's a pity that he is too young to live without the blessing of his father, so he can only be a shadow behind him.
He is so sharp, will Guo Yuanchang see the flaws?
You Hongyin believed that he must have seen it, but this person would not tell the truth, and even helped to cover up.
This is the aristocratic family cultivated by the aristocratic family. They are either famous and profitable like Guo Yuanchang, or they are lazy and slack and like to talk. Really good character and ability are probably rare.
However, at least among the aristocratic families, there is still reason to talk about, because they are educated and know the etiquette, but they are poor and common people, and sometimes they have nothing to say.
Human character is born or acquired, but in the final analysis, if you want a good environment, you still need sufficient productivity and you still need to educate the people.
For the time being, You Hongyin is still young, has no money, no food, no one in his hands, and can't rely on any support behind him. Now it's useless to think about things like the world, and thinking about how to strengthen himself is the real thing.
This is another reason why You Hongyin chose to help Guo Yuanchang.
Sure enough, Guo Yuanchang thought about it for two days, and even held a talk party, but in the end, he still didn't let go of the reputation gained by the two generations of the Guo family for more than ten years, hoping to win a chance.
However, Guo Yuanchang did take the second son's opinion into consideration, but he felt that he was unable to start over, so he chose to give the second son a chance, and also left a chance for himself: "The Yingchuan Guo family and our branch There is not much friendship, but when your grandfather was alive, he had some friendship with Chen Kan of the Chen family, and now Chen Kan is no longer interested in fame and fortune, and he is concentrating on studying in the Yingchuan tribe, so I can recommend you to go there."
You Hongyin didn't expect that there are such connections here, which is quite surprising.
However, this is an aristocratic family, even if you are poor and have nothing to eat, there will be contacts popping up out of nowhere, who can help you.Because the aristocratic families do not intermarry, the in-law relationship between the aristocratic families is complicated. This is why the real insight does not move the aristocratic families. It really affects the whole body. If you don't even understand the accounts, don't offend the children of the aristocratic family who are used to maintain the entire imperial court.
"Everything depends on my father." You Hongyin didn't ask what he studied in the past. The most famous Chen family in Yingchuan is not a great scholar, but a political strategist like Chen Qun.
Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang was very sad. She felt that it was inappropriate to let a 16-year-old boy go on the road just to study, and let a [-]-year-old servant follow him.However, the family has nothing else to offer, and even the travel expenses are stuttering, and I am afraid that they will suffer hardships along the way.
But You Hongyin said: "The servants in the family are laborers, how can we leave them lightly. Although the child is only ten years old, he still has the power to save his life, so he doesn't need others to follow him, let alone this time he is going with the caravan, so it should be fine."
Guo Yuanchang naturally nodded, and Zhang's tears flowed even more fiercely. Finally, You Hongyin had no choice but to coax for a long time before agreeing.
"Father, the court is not stable, and now it is the autumn harvest season. Looking at the weather this year, I am afraid that the early snow will come, and the grasslands will inevitably be unstable. Compared with the military disaster in March, the family lives in the suburbs of Luoyang, although it is better than other places. I have some proof, but this signboard is useless in the eyes of barbarians, I hope my father will make a plan early." You Hongyin reciprocated, Guo Yuanchang now has so much information, how to choose is not what You Hongyin wants to control thing.
Since Guo Yuanchang saw that the two sons were different, he paid special attention to the words and deeds of the second son. Others might not care about such a passage, but he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my son can study with peace of mind."
It seems that they are reluctant to say goodbye to each other, but You Hongyin and Guo Yuanchang know in their hearts that those are just masks.
