Life of the characters

Planning plan

Mao Xun was a county official when he was young. He was famous for his honesty and justice. He wanted to escape the war in Jingzhou, but he had not yet arrived. He heard that Liu Biao's decree was not strict, so he went to Luyang County instead. Cao Cao governed Yanzhou and recruited him to work for the governing of China. Mao said to Cao Cao: "today, the country is divided, the monarch is separated from the mainstream, the people are unemployed, hungry and in exile, the public has not been able to maintain a year's reserves, and the people have no stable mind. This situation is difficult to last. Although Yuan Shao and Liu Biao had a large number of soldiers and powerful people, they did not have long-term consideration, and they did not have the people to establish the foundation and build the foundation. Only those who are in line with justice can win, and conservative power needs financial resources. Therefore, we should support the emperor and order those who refuse to submit to him to devote themselves to farming and accumulate military materials. In this way, the great cause of dominating and reigning will be successful. " Cao Cao solemnly adopted his advice and appointed him the chief of the shogunate.

Selection of talents

When Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong and prime minister, Mao Xun once served as Dong Cao and presided over the election together with Cui Yan. All the people he recommended for appointment were honest and upright people. Those who were famous at that time for their frivolous and irresponsible behaviors were never recommended for appointment. He tried to set an example by his frugal style, so all the scholars in the country encouraged themselves with integrity. Even the favorite officials, the chariot and horse clothing did not dare to go beyond the system. Cao Cao sighed: "what can I do if I can employ people in this way and make the world govern myself?" When Cao Pi was a general of five senses, he went to see Mao in person and asked him to appoint his relatives. Mao Yu replied, "I was spared the crime because I was able to abide by my duties. Now the person you mentioned is not in the order of promotion, so I dare not follow your orders. "

Just and thrifty

Cao Cao led the army back to Yecheng and discussed the merger and removal of some organizations and officials. At that time, some people were very afraid of him and wanted to remove Dongcao. So they told them together: "as before, the Western Cao is the best, the eastern Cao is the second, and the eastern Cao should be abolished." Knowing the truth, Cao Cao ordered: "the sun comes from the East, and the moon is brighter than the West. When ordinary people talk about the location, they also talk about the East first. Why should they withdraw from the east?" So he abandoned Xi Cao. At first, Cao Cao calmed down Liucheng and rewarded the artifacts he had seized. He specially gave Mao fan plain screen and plain color with a few pieces, saying, "you have the style of the ancients, so I gave you the utensils of the ancients." Mao Xun was a prominent figure, but he often wore cloth clothes and ate vegetables. He raised his brother's son with all his heart and soul. The reward he got was used to help the poor people, and his family had no surplus property. Mao Yu was later promoted to the right military division.

In 213, the state of Wei was founded. Mao Xun served as minister and presided over the election. At that time, the crown prince had not yet been confirmed, and Cao Zhi, Marquis of Linpeng, was favored. Mao Zhen secretly advised Cao Cao: "recently, Yuan Shao's family was broken and his country was destroyed because he did not distinguish between his own son and his concubines. It's a big deal to abolish the crown prince. It's not the news I want to hear to abolish the eldest son and set up another one. " Later, when the officials got together, Mao Xun got up and went to the toilet. Cao Cao looked at him with his eyes and said, "he is the upright man in the Middle Kingdom as the ancients said. He is my Zhou Chang."

take escape from death

In the 18th year of Jian'an (216), Cui Yan was accused of being arrogant, slandering and offending Cao Cao, and was sentenced to death.

Later, someone denounced Mao, saying: "when Mao went out, he saw a prisoner with tattoos on his face. His wife and children were not slaves of the official family, so he said," that's probably the reason why it doesn't rain. " Cao Cao was so angry that he arrested Mao and put him in prison. Zhong you, Minister of Dali temple, was ordered to question Mao Yu.

Mao said: "I heard that Xiao Wangzhi committed suicide because of Shi Xian's frame up; Jia Yi was exiled because of the slander of Zhou Bo and Guan Ying; Bai Qi was given a sword to commit suicide in du you, Chao CuO was beheaded in Dongshi, and Wu Zixu was killed in Wudu. These people's experiences are all due to some people's public jealousy, or because some people are behind the scenes. I have been a county official since I was young, and I have accumulated diligence to get an official position. My position is in the center of the situation and involves complicated personnel relations. If someone asks for help in private, no matter how powerful he is, I will refuse him. If someone tells me the injustice, I will try even the smallest incident. People's original intention is to pursue self-interest without restriction, which is prohibited by law. Anyone who wants to prohibit illegal profit seeking according to law may frame him. The villains who slandered me, just like the green flies, started to slander me. It's definitely not other people who slandered me. In the past, Uncle Wang, Chen Sheng and Boyu argued about the right and wrong in the court, and fan xuanzi made a judgment. He asked both sides to give testimony, so that the right and wrong could be put to their proper use. The spring and Autumn Annals praised this, so it was recorded. I haven't said that, and I can't talk about the time or the object. If I said that, there must be evidence. I ask for fan xuanzi's criticism and a confrontation with Uncle Wang's accuser. If it were me, on the day of execution, I would die as if I had been given the gift of ancheisima; if I had been given the sword to commit suicide, I would compare it to a great reward. This is my complaint. "

At that time, Huan Jie and he Qia remonstrated and rescued Mao Yu. Mao Xun was exempted from punishment, deposed, and later died at home. Cao Cao gave the coffin, sacrificial utensils, money and silk to his son, Maoji doctor.

Character evaluation

Cao Cao: I have no choice but to employ people in such a way that people in the world will be autonomous. ② In ancient times, the so-called Secretary Zhi of the state was my Zhou Chang.

Cao Pi: so the ministers, such as Mao Zhe, Wang Xiu, Liang Mao, Yuan Huan, Xie Huan, Wan Qian, Xu Yi, Guoyuan, were all loyal and upright in the court.

Chen Shou: Mr. Mao Qinggong's shoes.

Fu Xian: in the past, Mao Xun was the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, but he did not dare to dress well. Emperor Wu of Wei sighed: "the solitary method is not as good as Mao Shangshu." It is not difficult for the customs to change.

Zhang Zan: Mao Xiaoxian saw beauty as the Duke of Qing Dynasty, and Lu Zijia took office as zhengu.

"Xianxian Xingju": elegant and fair, in the official Qingke. In his election, he criticized the Chinese and the puppets, and suppressed the Arab party. Those who have not made great achievements in governing the people but have abundant private wealth are not to be dethroned or abandoned. At that time, all over the world, all of them are inspired. When the officials returned, they were dirty and dressed, and they often took diesel cars. When military officials entered the government, their court clothes were in vain. People like pot and dinner, and the family is like washing the tassels. The noble have no desire for filth, and the cheap have no desire for adultery. The officials are superior, the customs are inferior, and the people call them today.

Zhang Ruyu: as for the Three Kingdoms, it is also the strength of all the people that they have formed a confrontation according to their respective soil. Therefore, in Wei, Xun you and Jia Xu had no plan; Guo Jia and Liu Ye had no plan; Guan Ning was elegant and noble; Mao Xun's canon was upright; in Wu, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were loyal and pure; Gan Ning and Ling Tong were brave and powerful; Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were powerful; in Shu, Zhuge Kongming was good at governing the country; Fei Yi and Dong Yun were loyal and pure Jun Shu is a great man of the moment.

Liang Qichao: in ancient times, officials were appointed according to their own knowledge. They didn't avoid relatives inside and enemies outside. In the Han and Wei dynasties, this idea still existed, so Zuo Xiong was in the book of history, and he was well known in the world; Mao fan and Cui Yan were the eastern Caoyu, and the scholars all honed their reputation. Later generations considered the request of candidates and the favoritism of the Ministry of Quan, so Cui Liang and Pei Guangting made it the law of seniority qualification, and sun piyang made it the law of drawing lots. However, if the prodigy can't advance and the mediocre can't retreat, then the performance appraisal will be abolished; if you don't choose the place for others, and if you don't choose the people for the place, then the officials will be in charge.

member of family

Son: Mao Ji. After Mao Yu died, he was given the title of doctor.

Native place dispute

When the annals of Macheng county was compiled in the ninth year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Weizhen, the major of the annals of Macheng County, made a textual research on Mao Zhen's moving to Macheng in his later years, saying: "in the old annals, it was wrong to say that he was a Jiexiu person and an envoy of Emperor Wen to Wu. This biography was recorded by Yu Yu, who bought and read 21 histories in Yandi bookstore. He was a member of Chen Liu's family, which was consistent with Yi Tong Zhi. The biography of his son moving to Macheng may not be detailed

The Kangxi county annals "talent records · Liuyu" put Mao Yu in the first place, the original is: Han Mao Yu, the word filial piety first, Chen Liuren. In today's city, Yanyu, the son and grandson of the Mao family, is living in Macheng with his young son. There are four characters written by Emperor Wu of Wei in his hand, which are given to Yanyu. They are treasured by the Mao family. For example, Mao fengshao of Jin Xian and Mao Yuyi of Ding Chou are all descendants of Yao. The tomb is in Huaqiao, 17 Li East of the county. According to the inscriptions of Macheng county annals in the 60th year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the stele of Mao Xun's Shendao was built by Huang Bin of Pengcheng in 543 at the foot of Huaqiao.
