There are quite some reasons why Duhou and Cao cannot control the Xia region alone.
On the one hand, with his military prowess and cultivation of Taoism, it was easy for the Chu State to be on guard, and Cao Cao was in control of Xia, making the surrounding areas uneasy. On the other hand, because of his great prestige in destroying Xia in one battle, he could easily separatist rule in this place.
Found a country.
"You Sheng Bi Tan" said, "Jade cannot be placed in a fragile place, and how can the name be given lightly to the person holding the weapon!
The truth has been explained thoroughly.
This has nothing to do with whether Cao Jie is loyal or whether Emperor Qi trusts him.
Rather, any emperor should avoid such problems and avoid giving his ministers undue space.
The governor of Xia Di was not Chongxuan Chu Liang, not Li Zhengyan, not Chen Zeqing, for the same reason.
Jiang Wang, as a great hero in the war against Xia and a person with great prestige in Xia, is actually no exception, even though his current cultivation level is not even threatening.
Su Guanying said that she was waiting for tea. Of course she was the master of this place, but in her words, she attributed Jiang Wang to Southern Xinjiang and classified her as one of her own. The heat in this was just right.
Jiang Wang only replied, "I can't help myself." I will listen to the emperor in everything, which can be regarded as a measured answer.
Through these two greetings, the two parties established a preliminary consensus and gained a little understanding of each other beyond rumors.
The emperor forced Jiang Wang to recite the book, and he recited "The Sword of History Cuts the Sea" precisely because time flies, the years roll by, and there is nothing new in the world for thousands of years. Everything that happens today can be recorded in history.
Be enlightened. Reading history can make you wise.
The two parties entered the Governor's Mansion and sat opposite each other in the main hall, with no prioritization.
Su Guanying said with a smile: "The candidate Wu'an came here at this time to support our construction of southern Xinjiang with actions." At this moment, her attitude became more cordial.
"Jiang is a martial artist who only knows how to use his fists and kicks. He doesn't know how to build a country." Jiang Wang smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with Su Du, Linzi is too noisy. I just found a place to practice quietly."
"Marquis Wu'an was granted the title of Marquis for his martial arts. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a quiet person."
"I just know how much I weigh.
"Isn't it a purple golden beam?" Su Guanying said with a smile on his face: "I look at this vast country, and among the younger generation, no one is heavier than you.
"Don't say that." Jiang Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "Bowang Hou Shisun is much more important than me!"
The jokes have their own attitude.
Seeing that he was so unwilling to do anything, Su Guanying pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, before you came here, a governor's meeting was being held here. I think Marquis Wu An didn't like the excitement, so he didn't let them come to see the ceremony. Jiang Wang quickly stood up: "
How dare you distract the Governor from his business? Please continue. It is a blessing to see the Governor today, so I will take my leave first."
Su Guanying raised her hand to signal him to sit down: "We've almost finished what we should talk about. I just want to talk to Marquis Wu An."
She slowly took a sip of tea and said, "At that time, Southern Xinjiang was first established, and there was a shortage of people everywhere. The Governor was just building the Governor's Mansion. In order to avoid the rebellion of the people and the inconvenience of recruiting too many people from Qi to govern, we had to use the old Xia Dynasty first.
Official. However, it is difficult to respond to the title, and it is easy to have the desire to return to the summer. In the end, it will not last forever, and it can only be temporary.
Jiang Wang felt troubled after hearing this, and was thinking of finding an excuse to avoid it.
But Su Guanying spoke very quickly. Before he could think of something to say, he got straight to the point: "Now the situation is basically stable in southern Xinjiang and all wastes are flourishing. Mountains and rivers have changed, and old things must be changed. I have reported to the emperor that the Xia Di Examination will be held today to restore the throne.
Since this meeting coincides with the title of Lu Wu'anhou and the title of Lu Wu'an, why not become an examiner?"...
Jiang Wang immediately refused: "Jiang himself is ignorant and has no knowledge of political affairs. How can he be qualified to be the examiner? Southern Xinjiang covers thousands of miles, and the official examination is not a trivial matter. It is related to the welfare of hundreds of millions of people. People with high moral character and high prestige should be the examiners. I
Don’t dare to mislead others.”
"There is nothing more virtuous than being able to suppress disasters, and there is nothing more prestigious than saving the people." Su Guanying looked at him: "In this southern Xinjiang, among all the officials in our Daqi, you, the Marquis of Wu'an, are the most virtuous and respected! If you don't come here, who can?
?”
Jiang Wang said with a bitter face: "Other people don't know, how can Su Du not know? Why do I suppress disasters and save all people? I am just lucky enough to deceive the famous name. Duhou uses his troops like a god and has no plans left. In fact, he has already planned it.
Prepare. Even without me, the floods would not be able to reach the Jiangyin Plain. You are laughing at me when you talk about this!" Not to mention the strategic significance of Duhou's trump card. For the people of southern Xinjiang,
The person who is responsible for suppressing the disaster is Jiang Wangye, the Marquis of Wu'an. This is an established fact and the truth they recognize. It is not important if it is controlled by others. A consensus has been formed, and your prestige in southern Xinjiang is unmatched." Su Guanying said:
"Or is it that Marquis Wu An is in his position but unwilling to take responsibility?"
This guy is really awesome.
Before today, Jiang Wang only had a rough understanding of Su Guanying's resume.
The Su family used to be considered a high-ranking family, but it has declined since her grandfather's generation. Her father even died in the Haijiang war, and the building collapsed.
Su Guanying was pampered and cared for since she was a child. It can be said that she never touches the spring water. She is older than Nvhong, likes to plant flowers, is good at poems, words, and beautiful jade.
After her father died in the war, everything changed.
Good times and beautiful scenery all come to nothing.
She put down her flower scissors and needlework, picked up her old armor and sword, and has been stationed overseas ever since.
He said, "Before the age of twenty, you don't know the human heart. After the age of twenty, you know everything about the human heart."
At the age of twenty-five, he became famous in the Battle of Cassia Island.
Later, he successively served as the official of the Ministry of Personnel, the governor of Jinghai County, and the lord of Pinglu City behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. He had outstanding achievements in each of his posts.
At the age of forty-three, he went to the Mysterious Realm again and killed the true king of the Sea Clan with his own hands, thus avenging his father's revenge.
Although she followed the official path, she became a court official after becoming a real person in the world, rather than becoming a real person after becoming a court official.
Although there is not much difference in the combat performance between the two, and she is also subject to the constraints of officialdom. This is enough to prove that she has amazing talents in both government affairs and practice itself.
After today, Su Guanying changed from a beautiful resume to a real person here in Jiang Wang.
A person with a gentle face but a firm will in essence, and who is very capable of implementing his own will and achieving set goals. In terms of officialdom, the political platform is the path, and government affairs are the political resources for spiritual practice and the material for spiritual practice.
In the early days of Southern Xia, who can remain unmoved?
There are nine officials in the imperial court of Qi and nine commanders in the military hall. In addition to those who failed to make up the two main halls but still have great influence and talents, such as Donghua scholar Li Zhengshu, there are more than ten who are qualified to compete.
In the end, it was Su Guanying, the governor of Nanxia, who had control of this huge political resource.
Faced with such a person, what can you do to resist?
Jiang Wang had a headache, but he could only ask: "I wonder what the Southern Xinjiang official examination is about?"
Su Guanying said with satisfaction: "The literary and martial arts examinations are carried out in parallel, the literary examination is about policy theory, and the martial arts examination is about practice. Unless there is a certain subject that is particularly outstanding, it must be passed in both civil and military subjects to be considered a pass. To evaluate the excellent, determine the quality, and eliminate the mediocre, these eight
Chinese characters are the core of this official examination. “…
"I don't know anything about strategy. I can still understand a little bit about practice. Otherwise, I will be responsible for the martial arts test." Jiang Wangqing knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he took the initiative to choose one, cutting off half of his authority.
Su Guanying looked at him and smiled: "That's fine."
After a visit to the Governor of Southern Xia, Jiang Wang accepted a job. Jiang Wang felt that something was very wrong.
For those who are dedicated to officialdom, it is probably a dream. If you are responsible for the official examination in southern Xinjiang, how many disciples can you get and how huge an official network can you build.
It will be of great benefit to you in establishing your own political platform and promoting your own political views in the future.
Su Guanying is simply giving out benefits!
But for Jiang Wang, although he is in the officialdom, he does not rely on officialdom. So far, all his cultivation has been achieved by his own hard work.
If you fully devote yourself to the official path now, you can certainly get quite amazing help in cultivation, which will greatly increase the possibility of attaining the truth. When you want to escape in the future, you will definitely have to take great pains. He doesn't want to take it.
On the other hand, the cultivation help of Marquis Wu'an, who promoted his title, does not need to rely on government affairs to maintain it. As long as he does not lose his title for one day, he can use the power of the country to practice for one day.
Of course, taking advantage of the national situation to practice cultivation will also produce certain cause and effect. The monk's own path is connected with the destiny of the country.
During the Qi-Xia war, King Sijiao of Wu asked the Changsheng Lord of Nandou Hall to take action. It is said that one of the conditions was to lend him the power of the country for ten years to help him practice. In fact, it was to use the power of the Xia Kingdom to support the true monarch and give him a powerful one.
A Taoist monk sucked blood for ten years.
I don’t know if Lord Changsheng has any unique way to cut off the cause and effect of the country’s power. He can only enjoy the benefits and not bear the responsibilities. It should also require the cooperation of Xia Ting. If it weren’t for the survival of the country, Sijiao would not be able to do this.
Conditions come.
Back to the matter of the official examination in southern Xinjiang, Jiang Wang has no intention of managing any disciples and old officials. Even if the world is spinning a net and moving towards Wu'an, what's the use if he doesn't follow the official path to practice? Those are all Chongxuan Shengsheng
It took a long time, but he just felt that it was too troublesome and that he lost a lot of time for his own practice.
But the matter has been settled. As he said himself, selecting officials is not a trivial matter. It is related to the welfare of hundreds of millions of people and he cannot ignore it.
On the way to Chitan, he had been studying the requirements of the Southern Xia Governor's Mansion for official positions at all levels, as well as the list of examiners given to him by Su Guanying.
As the examiner, he can decide the examination questions, and at the same time, he can also adjust the list of examiners to a limited extent. He has great power.
The first important point of the official examination is nothing but fairness. As long as we grasp this fundamental point, the official examination will not be any worse no matter how bad it is. If we lose this fundamental point, the official examination itself will lose its meaning.
Public credibility will suffer a major blow. To put it more seriously, it will even shake Qi Ting's rule over southern Xinjiang.
From this perspective, Su Guanying's strong move to seize Jiang Wanglai as the examiner was a masterstroke.
He directly jumped out of the interference of the military and political environment in southern Xinjiang and found a candidate who could best enforce fairness.
With Jiang Wang's huge influence in Southern Xinjiang, no one would be dissatisfied with him being the examiner. And Jiang Wang himself does not work in Southern Xinjiang, and he is also famous for focusing on practice itself, so there is no need to worry about him forming cliques for personal gain. In addition,
Shangjiangwang has a good reputation in the past, and it is really safe to use.
As the first Southern Xinjiang official examination that was publicly promoted by the Nanxia Governor's Office, it could almost be regarded as the seat of Su Guanying's political power. I don't know how many people wanted to cause trouble openly or covertly, but Jiang Wang came and solved it easily...
The more Jiang Wang thought about it, the more he wanted to stay away from these people in Zhengshitang. Getting along with them was too brain-consuming and not fun at all.
He now very much doubts that the time for the official examination in Southern Xinjiang was temporarily decided after Su Guanying saw him. Otherwise, apart from a large list of examiners and the eight-character official examination policy, there was no other preparation.
No? It would be too much of a coincidence to say that we just started planning this today.
"Daxia Fangzhi" says: Chitan is seven hundred steps away, hidden in the old mountains, where clouds accumulate all the year round, and thunder snakes touch the water.
It is said that Chitan is hidden in an old mountain, and there are always dark clouds in the sky, and thunder and lightning occasionally hit the water.
It's quite a spectacle.
"Laoshan" is not a description of the mountain, but the name of a mountain. To the west of Guiyi City, there are few people.
When the Emperor of Qi granted the title of Marquis Wu'an to Chitan, he certainly did not just give him an ancient pool for him to fish in.
Jiang Wang's fiefdom included Laoshan and nine towns near Laoshan.
Judging from the household registration book, the nine towns add up to a total of nearly 300,000 people, which can be classified as an independent city. Of course, because these towns are located on the old mountains, they are scattered and have poor communication.
Consolidating the city is not realistic.
When Dugu Xiao took over the management of this place, the affairs he had to face were naturally much more complicated than those in Qingyang Town. Correspondingly, the power in his hands also expanded much - it is worth mentioning that Dugu Xiaozhuan held the position of chief of the pavilion in Qingyang Town.
It was given to a Zhoutian realm monk who later defected. The monk was down-to-earth, hard-working, and quick in doing things, and he became the number two figure in Qingyang Town early on. Due to Zhang Hai, who was determined to refine the divine elixir, he still held the position of enshrinement.
, there they would eat meat on time, eat and wait to die. Wu'anhou Mansion was built at the foot of Laoshan, and the full name engraved on the door plaque is "Wu'anhou Laoshan Villa".
The Emperor of Qi specially assigned a master craftsman to come to Xia to supervise the construction. The site was carefully selected and then completed. It cost a lot of money and was unique in its ingenuity. The house is located on a mountain overlooking the water, and it is very majestic.
The mansion has some servants, and it is running smoothly. For the time being, all the money comes from the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.
Jiang Wang came back this time and brought Dugu Xiao to manage the fiefdom. Naturally, he had to recruit other people, and he would have to pay for it himself in the future. But these are things that Dugu Xiao needs to worry about.
By the time Jiang Wang came over from Guiyi City, Dugu Xiao had already ordered people to clean up inside and outside.
She is a person who is used to the world and has a good government. She has already been trained in the past few years of running in Qingyang Town. Although she is new here, she handles all the trivial tasks smoothly, and there are no servants who are indifferent or disobedient.
Stupid thing. "What about Chu?" Jiang Wang walked in the door and walked around for a while, then asked. "I went into Laoshan with Mr. Lian, saying I was going to Chitan to have a look." Dugu Xiao replied.
Jiang Wang was surprised: "Isn't he quite afraid of Lian Que? Why did he follow him?"
Dugu thief laughed and said: "Master Lian shouted and he followed. I think he didn't dare to follow, and he didn't dare not to follow."
Jiang Wang also smiled and handed the list he brought to Dugu Xiao: "Governor Su gave me a hard job and asked me to be in charge of the Southern Xinjiang official examination. It was very tiring. Here is the list of examiners. You should investigate it as soon as possible.
, pick out a few reliable ones."
This is easy to say, but it is not a simple project, especially since they are new here. When it comes to investigation, it is difficult to find a way.
Dugu Xiao accepted it happily: "I'll do it now.
What better way to prove the meaning of one's existence than to be needed by the master?
Jiang Wang then ordered: "By the way, collect the folklore and legends of the towns under our rule, and summarize them for me when the time comes. Don't be in a hurry. Let's deal with the examiner's affairs first."
"My subordinates know." Dugu Xiao nodded vigorously.
There are exactly nine towns surrounding Laoshan Chitan. It is easy to think of the nine towns in the Changhe River. There may be some hidden existence among them.
However, the entire Chitan is his fiefdom, so there is no need to rush.
After leaving all the complicated matters to Dugu Xiao, Mr. Jiang inspected his mansion in Nanxia with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to give some advice on the layout, but Dugu Xiao did everything according to his preferences. In fact,
I couldn't find any problems. I finally gave up by forcing someone to move the lotus tank from the front yard to the backyard.
Then he took a leisurely stroll, picked up a fishing rod, and headed for the old mountain.
I think there is a couplet on the mountain gate of Diaohai Tower, which is so powerful that it says "remove the hook and turn it into the moon".
Mr. Jiang is in good condition today, so he might as well go fishing in the empty mountain!
