"Uncle, what's going on?"

"Cao Zhi founded the School of Mind and established the Juxian Hall. Why didn't you stop him?"

Xun You questioned.

Xun Yu glanced at Xun You.

He glanced at Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao again.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him nervously.

Xun Yu said calmly:

"There's no way to stop it!"

"There's no way to stop it?"

When Xun Yu said this, everyone looked puzzled.

I know that people don’t believe it.

Xun Yu then repeated the content of Cao Zhi's philosophy of mind that he had talked about today.

Xun Yu was a genius.

Hence his retelling.

It was exactly the same as what Cao Zhi said.

After Xun Yu finished retelling.

Everyone in the room was shocked!

It never occurred to them.

Cao Zhi actually founded a theory.

Moreover, the content is easier to understand than classics.

"Could it be that the Cao family really has a real dragon?"

Cheng Yu murmured in a low voice.

"In that case, is it necessary for us to help the Second Young Master?"

Zhong Yao said with a worried look on his face.

After all, the potential Cao Zhi is showing right now is too terrifying.

No one present is a fool.

He knew clearly that Cao Pi's approach would not work.

Naturally, it is impossible to go all the way with Cao Pi.

"Don't worry about this!"

Xun Yu said.

"Although Cao Zhi's current talent has the potential to rival Mencius and his ancestor Xunzi, it's only potential. Who can guarantee that he won't die unexpectedly before he grows up?"

"During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which of those who founded theories ultimately gained power?"

"Cao Zhi founded the School of Mind simply to ensure that he wouldn't be liquidated after he lost the battle for succession. After all, the Minister of Works needed a great scholar to bring honor to the Cao family!"

"Besides, learning requires a huge investment of time and energy..."

Having said that, Xun Yu couldn't help but pause.

Because it suddenly occurred to him.

Cao Zhi is only thirteen years old now.

A thirteen-year-old child, God knows why he founded a theory.

Xun Yu ended the topic naturally and continued:

"Everyone, although the birth of the School of Mind has caused a considerable impact on the study of classics!"

"But the new way of selecting officials announced by Sikong is to give equal weight to the study of the mind and the study of classics!

Although Sikong did this to avoid the "Recommendation System" and "Conscription System" controlled by the aristocratic families, it gave the common people a chance to enter the court! "

"But everyone, please don't forget that compared to the common people, the children of the noble families have an easier time acquiring knowledge. As long as we teach them seriously, I believe that those places will eventually be occupied by our aristocratic families.

Therefore, you should not be so hostile to the School of Mind. You only need to understand that both the School of Mind and the School of Classics are merely means for us to enter officialdom..."

"In order to please the Prime Minister, we can even send those outstanding children in the family who cannot get a place in the 'Cao Ju System' to the Fourth Young Master for teaching, so that they can enter the official career through the study of the mind!"

Xun Yu started from the perspective of interests.

A penetrating analysis of Cao Cao's decree.

Before, Xun You and others.

They are still resisting Cao Cao's decree, blaming it for affecting everyone's interests.

But now after hearing Xun Yu's explanation.

Everyone suddenly thought of it.

Cao Zhi's philosophy of mind.

Not only will it not shake the status of his family.

On the contrary, it will help more people in his family enter the officialdom and strengthen his family.

After figuring it all out.

Cheng Yu and others stopped worrying about this matter.

After everyone chatted for a while.

Then he left in a hurry.

……

After a cup of tea time.

Xun You left and came back.

As if he knew Xun You would come back.

Xun Yu was not surprised at all.

And in the seat where Xun You sat before.

There was a cup of new tea that had been replaced long ago, and the temperature was just right.

"Uncle, is Cao Zhi really as you said, comparable to our ancestor Xunzi?"

Xun You expressed the doubts in his mind.

"Worse than that!"

Xun Yu said impartially.

He did not deliberately belittle Cao Zhi just because the Xun family supported Cao Pi.

"It is precisely because Sikong saw the potential of the Fourth Young Master that he dared to take the risk of offending all the gentry in the world and launch a new official selection system!" Xun Yu said again.

"If that's the case, then what should we do next? Do we need to cut ties with Cao Pi immediately?"

Xun You said.

"No, as long as the emperor is still in Xudu, then the Sikong and the Yingchuan nobles will have room to maneuver. The Sikong is just dissatisfied with us, not trying to destroy us!"

"Since our Xun family has already expressed our support for the Second Young Master, we will continue to fully support him in the future!"

"As for the Fourth Young Master, I plan to send Yun'er to study the School of Mind!"

Xun Yu said.

"What? You're planning to send Brother Yun!"

Xun You was shocked.

Xun Yun, whose courtesy name was Changqian.

He is Xun Yu's eldest son.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Xun Yun will be the next head of the Xun family.

At this time, Xun Yu sent Xun Yun to approach Cao Zhi.

In Xun You's opinion, the price was too high.

However, when I think of what Xun Yu just said.

Cao Zhi's talent was not inferior to that of his ancestor Xunzi, and Xun You couldn't help but feel relieved.

After all, the Xun family can be prosperous today.

The main reason is.

Xunzi's position in Confucianism.

And the family doctrines that Xunzi left to the Xun family.

"Gongda, although we are uncle and nephew, you are older than me. Over the years, I have always regarded you as a close friend!"

“In the past, our Xun family’s ancestors learned the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and took the right position, which is why our Xun family has become so prosperous today.

The current study of the mind is like the study of classics in the past. Although its future is still uncertain, it is still necessary to give it a try!

Xun Yu said solemnly.

"I see……"

Seeing Xun Yu even worrying about his son's future.

You can use it to gamble.

Xun You naturally did not dare to object.

"What if Cao Zhi fails?"

Xun You couldn't help but say.

Even at this moment.

He still couldn't believe it.

Cao Zhi had potential comparable to that of his ancestors.

"If Cao Zhi fails, the future of the Xun family will be handed over to you and Shi'er!"

Xun Shi was Xun You's second legitimate son.

Because Xun You's eldest son died early.

Therefore, Xun Shi was actually Xun You's eldest son.

Seeing Xun Yu said this.

Xun You immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Xun Yu.

……

Sikong Mansion.

Cao Zhi is training a group of new disciples of Confucian classics.

After being arranged into the Juxian Hall.

Just follow Xu Chu.

Arrived at Sikong Mansion.

In the study room.

The study at that time.

There was only Cao Cao.

Even Guo Jia, who has always been inseparable from Cao Cao.

Not here at this moment.

Wait until Cao Zhi comes.

Cao Cao first dismissed Xu Chu.

Then he looked at Cao Zhi seriously and said:

"Now it's just you and me, father and son, here. Zijian, don't you have anything you want to say to your father?"
