Feng Qianli was in his mid-forties, with parents, wife and children. According to the algorithm of the nine-level Zhongzheng system, he was a standard member of the common people and a candidate member of a wealthy family.
Now that he is serving as treasurer of the Ministry of War, he is certainly not a small figure in Jinyang officialdom.
But when Qi King Li Yuanji was in charge of Jinyang, Feng Qianli was just a small official in Jinyang. It can be said that Li Po's entry into Jinyang gave people like Feng Qianli a lot of room for improvement.
But such a beneficiary is now taking a huge risk and choosing to work for Li Tang. For the Jin government, this seems to be a small thing, but in fact it has a very bad connotation.
In the past few years, Li Po had conquered the east and west, and he had a clear understanding of both himself and the foreign princes. Especially Li Tang, he had an intuitive and correct view, and he neither despised it because of his repeated victories.
Don't let a heavy sense of fate affect your decision-making.
Li Yuan was a member of the powerful clans of Guanxi. With hundreds of years of accumulation and his own ability, he had wide contacts and high esteem in the world. When he took control of Chang'an and bowed to the south, he immediately became condescending and talented.
Gather and flock together.
Therefore, in Li Po's view, the period around the first year of Wude should be Li Yuan's most proud golden period. He was very comfortable in everything he did, not to mention how people in other places were. Just talking about Jin, countless people were the generals of Tang Gong.
He talks about it and is willing to work hard for Li Yuan.
Even if Li Po took control of Jinyang and then went south to defeat Li Shentong, countless people were still informing Li Tang. If Li Yuanji hadn't offended the Wang family of Jinyang too hard, he would have been fighting Li Shentong.
At that time, Jinyang would never be that stable.
But having said that, to this day, there are still people who want to desperately deliver news to Li Tang regardless of their wives, children, and children. Li Po can't figure out what they are asking for.
You must know that in the past two years, the land of Jin has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Tang army was driven across the Yellow River by him, killing and capturing hundreds of thousands of people, and inflicted heavy losses on Li and Tang.
The local nobles bowed their heads one after another, and the rule gradually became stable.
If it weren't for the incompetence of others, he could have recreated the story of the Six Kingdoms' Conquest of Qin, and he believed that the result would be very different.
In general, Li Po was a little annoyed after hearing the news. This was simply a questioning of his efforts over the years. He wanted to crack open those people's heads to see what they were thinking.
Fortunately, Feng Qianli's incident happened for a reason...
Well, everything has a cause and effect. This is not surprising. The so-called "everything happens for a reason" sounds more like a kind of self-consolation. It makes Li Po extremely uncomfortable. It also invisibly casts a layer on the upcoming war this year.
There is a shadow that seems to be absent.
The matter of Feng Qianli's escape is indeed very simple. He is a native of Jinyang and has a good friend who is the jailer of Jinyang. At the same time, both of them have benefited from others in the past.
The man's name was Samurai Xun, whose courtesy name was Xinming. He was a well-known big businessman in Jinyang at the time. He was extremely wealthy and had extensive connections. He had almost the same background as Li Gui, Xue Ju and others in the northwest. People at the time called him Haowang.
The warrior Xun also took advantage of the chaos in the last years of Daye to get himself an official position as Sima of Yingyang Prefecture, and began to seek a political status consistent with his family wealth.
It's just that Jinyang is not in the northwest and is not that chaotic. At that time, Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan and was in charge of the military and political power in Jin. People like the warrior Xun didn't have much chance to get ahead.
So Warrior Xun resolutely invested in Li Yuan. There is nothing surprising. At that time, Duke Tang was the backbone of Jinyang City. From the nobles to the common people, they all had high hopes for Duke Tang who could keep the country safe. Warrior Xun
Nature is no exception.
As the world became increasingly chaotic, opportunities suddenly appeared in front of the warrior Yu.
Wang Wei and Gao Junya wanted to kill Li Yuan, but the warrior Xun got the news. He cleverly handed over the power to others, but he took the opportunity to go to Li Yuan and offer suggestions, so that Li Yuan would remember him.
When Li Yuan killed Wang Wei, Gao Junya started an uprising and immediately led his army southward to Cheng'an, accompanied by the warrior Xun. After Li Yuan settled in Chang'an, he did not forget the warrior Xun and named him Guanglu Doctor, Yiyuan County Duke, and others with their origins.
Of course there is no comparison between people.
In fact, it was the warrior Yu who donated military funds and almost spent his entire family to help Li Yuan achieve his mission. Li Yuan was indeed very moved, so he received this reward, which was the end of everyone.
There is no need to say more about Li Yuan's employment. I will only talk about the warrior Xun. This man is not young anymore and is indeed a great person. If you can give him more color, you might be able to become Lu Buwei once.
What was the evaluation given to him by his friends at the beginning? He is a man of faith and a lot of integrity, and he is profound and wise... Look, it doesn't sound very pleasant to the ear, but for a businessman to be mentioned words such as big integrity, profound and wise, it is undoubtedly
It is a compliment to the person.
The warrior Xun made friends in Jinyang and made good friends. Otherwise, Wang Wei and others would not have known about the rebellion that day. Compared with others, Liu Wuzhou, who caused the riot in Mayi, was simply a country bumpkin.
Already.
Samurai Xun’s investment projects are inspected in the early stage, and the later returns can be guaranteed.
The warrior Xun himself followed Li Yuan to Chang'an, but he left a lot of heads and tails in Jinyang. He originally wanted to establish a good relationship with the next King of Qi, Li Yuanji, but unexpectedly he got an unexpected gain.
Li Po led his troops south, defeated the Tang army in succession, and drove Li Tang across the Yellow River almost completely. The legacy left by the warrior Yu in Jinyang also became Li Tang's spy.
To this day, whenever Li Yuan wants to hear news about Jinyang or even Hedong, most of it is provided by the warrior Yun.
Feng Qianli ran away this time because his friend got in touch with Liu Zhenghui, the former Sima of the Prince of Qi, and Li Shentong in prison, and found Feng Qianli to conspire to send a message to Chang'an...
It can be said that this incident is different from the previous case of reporting information to Kansai. The technical content is relatively high. It is not that someone admires Li Yuanxian's name and has similar intentions, but is based on loyalty and the temptation of interests.
It took a long time to do something.
The possibility of success is still relatively high, but Feng Qianli hired the wrong person.
In order to cover up his hiding place, Feng Qianli only brought three retinues with him, and the only one who knew about it was his eldest son... To stay away from his homeland was a fool's errand, so Feng Qianli finally took his son with him.
I wanted to do something big, regardless of the life and death of my relatives, but my son didn't agree. He followed out of Jinyang hesitantly. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from home, he thought of his mother's love, his brother's friendship, his wife's tenderness, and that his youngest son was still alive.
In her infancy, it may be difficult to see her again, even if her father's words are extravagant, it will be in vain.
When we arrived in Jiexiu, my son took the opportunity to betray me.
This kind of thing is not uncommon since ancient times, so there is no need to say anything more. It's just that the timing happened to be just when the army was about to move, which undoubtedly created an obstacle for Li Po.
"Feng Qianli will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough trial... His son has made a meritorious deed, he can take on his father's position, and he will not offend the family. How big of a deal is it for you, the Sima, to go there in person? Go back to Jiexiu tomorrow.
Humph, making a fuss out of a molehill."
Zhang Liang touched the dust on his nose and sluggishly walked away. According to his habit, he must drag out the ghost of Wei Gong to compare it.
Of course, the result is no different from before. The Duke of Wei is the Duke of Wei, and the King of Han can only be the King of Han. There is no comparability between two completely different people.
If it was when he first came, he would have felt that His Highness the King of Han was soft-hearted and not a man who wanted to do big things. But now, Zhang Liang just felt that the King was not in a good mood and that he might have suffered some unintentional disaster, so he ran away with peace of mind.
Went back to Jiexiu for business.
And despite what Li Po said was an understatement, in fact, many heads would definitely fall to the ground afterwards.
This seems to have become a rule. Whenever Li Po raises troops, there will always be someone who puts his head under the edge of the knife and makes it look like a sacrificial flag. Even Li Po feels a little helpless.
……………………
In the afternoon of that day, Jinyang Prison.
Speaking of prisons, ordinary people these days, and even some heroes, are mostly trembling with trepidation and keeping secrets, because it is indeed not a good place, and it is a place that is directly connected to the Palace of Hell.
Moreover, since ancient times, there have been countless cruel methods of torture, and incidents of skin peeling and cramping are even more common, and most of them occur in gloomy prisons.
Of course, many people have skewed views of prisons at this time. For example, the prisons in Jinyang are divided into grades.
There are prisons under the Jinyang Order, and most of the people in them are petty thieves and brawlers. Their treatment is very bad. If they are caught here, they will not be able to stay for a few days. Those who will be punished will be punished, and those who will be exiled
In exile, people come and go, and there is obviously a lack of blood.
Then there are the cells under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. Before there was a Ministry of Punishment, it was directly under the jurisdiction of the Jinyang Administration. The people sent there committed serious crimes, and most of them were serious villains.
Some of them are currently on trial. If the evidence of guilt is conclusive, they will be exiled at the very least. If the judge's pen is crooked, it may be the result of the Qiu Hou interrogation.
For example, Liu Wenjing stayed here for a few days and didn't suffer much, but she was also quite frightened.
After saying this, we can actually understand that prisons are different. Political prisoners and criminal prisoners must be treated differently. When Li Po led his troops to occupy Jinyang, the prison was divided into two parts.
Soon one side was overcrowded and the other side was much deserted. When it came to treatment, they were even more distinct.
On this day, a group of people arrived in front of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The prison officers had already received the news and lined up in a ceremonial manner to welcome them in front of the prison door.
Yang Gongren, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came on horseback. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted. The prison officers all saluted and greeted him. Yang Gongren shook his official uniform and looked up at the old locust tree in front of the prison door with an expressionless expression. His heart couldn't help but feel slightly better.
A little chill...
