Chapter 567

However.

Seeing Xun You never gave up resisting Dong Zhuo from beginning to end.

On the eve of General-in-Chief He Jin summoning Dong Zhuo to the capital.

Although Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Chen Lin, and others all raised their hands and feet in favor of Dong Zhuo entering the capital without exception.

But Seeing Xun You firmly opposed summoning Dong Zhuo to the capital.

He advised He Jin, believing that Dong Zhuo was a treacherous and untrustworthy wolf.

If such a person entered Luoyang, it would be difficult to control.

But how can a thin arm twist a thick thigh?

Seeing Xun You's opposition did not play any role.

Dong Zhuo entering the capital was a plan that Yuan Kui and others spent years of effort on; how could it be ruined by a mere Seeing Xun You?

Thus, Dong Zhuo still entered the capital.

The subsequent events were the destruction of both He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo gradually controlling the power of the Han imperial court.

Up to this point, it seems everything was still under control, right?

But next, the situation further lost balance.

Dong Zhuo and the Guandong aristocratic group led by the Yuan family engaged in fierce fighting.

Seeing Xun You did not want to get involved.

Or rather, he only wanted to find an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo!

It's a pity that he never waited for that opportunity.

On the contrary, after receiving Gu Yi's help, Dong Zhuo's power further soared, while the aristocratic group moved toward destruction step by step.

Seeing Xun You understood that if he watched Dong Zhuo's power destroy the aristocratic forces and unify the world.

Then I fear... his wish to avenge his father would have to wait until the next life to be realized.

Therefore, Seeing Xun You stood up.

He hoped to bring the situation back into balance.

However, everything he did has now become a wedding dress for Gu Yi.

The territory under Gu Yi's rule not only did not suffer damage because of this, but instead further strengthened his control.

At this moment.

Looking at the confused Seeing Xun You, Gu Yi sighed:

"Xun Gongda, do you really think that your father's death back then was the work of Grand Tutor Dong?"

"Don't forget, Grand Tutor Dong's official rank back then was not as high as your father's."

"The troops under his command were only five thousand."

"Even this part of the military strength had to be under the control of the Administrator of Runan."

"Why would he risk using the power of rebel remnants to kill your father?"

"Just because your father blocked his further promotion?"

"Hehe, Xun Gongda, your father was the Administrator of Yingchuan, that's true."

"But in terms of prestige in the imperial court, could he compare to Yuan Kui? Or Ma Rixuan?"

"If Yuan Kui wanted Grand Tutor Dong's official rank to rise quickly back then, could your father have stopped it?"

"Furthermore, think back carefully."

"While your father was the Administrator of Yingchuan, did he offend some people he shouldn't have offended?"

"Back then, did your father ever think of going further and becoming the Governor of Yuzhou?"

"But what happened later?"

"Who is the Governor of Yuzhou?"

"It's Kong Zhou, who was unexpected!"

"What kind of thing is Kong Zhou?"

"What virtue and ability does he have to sit in the position of Governor of Yuzhou?"

"Is it because his face is big?"

"Hehe, the Yuan family could not let someone with 'personality' sit in the position of Governor of Yuzhou!"

"And your father was the most popular candidate to compete for Governor of Yuzhou."

"Your Xun family, although not as good as the Yuan family, is also one of the top aristocratic families in the world!"

"If your father really became the Governor of Yuzhou, how could the Yuan family continue to maintain absolute rule in Yuzhou?"

These words plunged Seeing Xun You into endless silence.

He was not a stupid person.

Or rather, he had always had doubts about his father's death as well.

But... Seeing Xun You did not dare to say those doubts out loud.

Or rather, he did not dare to believe that Yuan Kui and the Yuan family would be the culprits who killed his father, Xun Yi!

You must know.

Yuan Kui is the head of the Yuan family, the leader of the world's aristocratic families!

And within the aristocratic families, Yuan Kui had always presented himself with the image of a "benevolent elder."

Even, Yuan Kui was the witness for Xun Yi's "capping ceremony" back then.

During the two Han dynasties, the significance of the capping ceremony was very important.

Especially within the class of aristocratic families, every aristocratic descendant, whether direct or collateral, had to undergo the capping ceremony.

It can even be said that the importance of the capping ceremony is no less than marriage.

And for the capping ceremony, besides age.

The most important thing is to find a person of high virtue and prestige to serve as a witness.

For example, when Gu Yi had his capping ceremony before, the witness Old Dong helped him find was Cai Yong.

At the same time, the witness also needs to "bestow a courtesy name" to the person undergoing the capping ceremony.

Among top aristocratic families, they would generally invite a person of high virtue and prestige from the other family to serve as the "capping ceremony witness" for the young descendants of the family.

For example, the Runan Yuan family might find a person of high virtue and prestige from the Hongnong Yang family as a witness.

The Hongnong Yang family could also find a person of high virtue and prestige from the Runan Yuan family as a witness.

Yuan Kui serving as Xun Yi's capping ceremony witness was originally a mutually beneficial matter.

But the Yuan family could not give the cake of Yuzhou to the Xun family.

However, the problem arose.

Why didn't the Yuan family send someone to compete for the position of "Governor of Yuzhou"?

Was it because there was no suitable talent within the Yuan family to use?

Of course not!

In reality.

During the Eastern Han dynasty, in order to suppress the growth of aristocratic families, the imperial court established something called the "Three Mutual Laws."

The core point of this Three Mutual Laws is that it does not allow local aristocratic families to hold top-level positions.

For example, the Jizhou Yecheng person "Celestial Dragon Ju Shou," he could at most become the Jizhou Bieja, which is the second-in-command of Jizhou.

But wanting to become the Governor of Jizhou or the Inspector of Jizhou was completely impossible.

Because Ju Shou's household registration was Jizhou, which destined him to never become the top leader of Jizhou.

Of course, Ju Shou could go to other provinces to serve as Governor or Inspector.

But the most powerful thing about aristocratic families is that they have a huge advantage in local operations.

Once Ju Shou left Jizhou and went to other provinces, why would the local aristocratic families of other provinces share the cake with him?

And what about Xun Yi?

Wasn't he from Yingchuan, Yuzhou?

Actually, no!

Xun Yi was the only exception in the Xun family!

Everyone else in the Xun family had Yingchuan, Yuzhou household registration.

But Xun Yi was born in Wei Commandery, Jizhou, since he was a child!
