It's snowing.
This time, the snow fell for a day and a night, but it still didn't seem to stop.
The raging north wind drove the gray-black clouds and rushed over from the north layer by layer. The rolling clouds pushed and squeezed each other, as if they were scrambling to the battlements of the city wall.
The snow was swept by the cold wind, passing through the bare treetops, rushing in groups in the sky, covering the sun without a trace.
The world is dark and chaotic. Only the sound of bells and drums that ring at the bells and drums in the east of the city can make people know what time it is now.
The jackdaws in the living woods seemed to be too cold. If they wanted to move, they would scream amid the sound of bells and drums, and then cross the sky.
Chen Qun stood behind his hands, under the dripping eaves of the upper room of the West Courtyard of Yecheng Official Party, looking at the snowflakes flying in front of him, with a deep thought on his face.
There is trouble in Youzhou.
Big trouble.
Since the Yingchuan incident, people have fallen under the palace walls, implicated officials have been locked up, removed from office, and removed from office. It is impossible not to say that Chen Qun felt that Cao Cao's angry handling was really inappropriate, which affected Jizhou. Many places have become empty and uncontrollable due to the shortage of officials.
General Cao Chun over there not only had no achievements in his battle, but also had his back battalion attacked. What's even more terrifying is that he didn't know what kind of troops it was. Some of them looked like Hu cavalry, but some of them looked like the means of cavalry...
In this case, Chen Qun also felt a little tricky.
Xiahou Dun wanted to defend Yanzhou, Xiahou Yuan guarded Jizhou, Le Jin and others guarded Henei, Cao Ren and others stationed in Jingzhou, and Cao Hong wanted to keep an eye on Qingxu. For a moment, Cao Cao could not draw generals who could defend the other side or be the bravest army to support Youzhou.
Without generals, it is the same, it is difficult to have soldiers.
The situation in Youzhou may worsen.
Cao Chun attacked, originally wanted to take the initiative and launch a certain blow to the Dingling people in the northern part of Youzhou, western Liaoning, to avoid being attacked on both sides. However, what Cao Chun did not expect was that his plan was not going smoothly at the beginning, while Chen Qun did not expect it would be so unsuccessful.
No one has the skills without learning. If you want to lose a system from the sky, it is mostly a daydream. Chen Qun also didn't know how to fight when he was born. He said that Chen Qun suddenly had a quick change in his wisdom and a decisive victory. This is inevitable that he would be a bit difficult for him.
A gust of wind suddenly swept through two bare golden-leafed locust trees in the yard with sobs. A snowflake suddenly rolled down from the eaves, smashed on Chen Qundae's Jinxian crown, and then fell on him.
He subconsciously touched it, then gently twisted the fine ice crystals that had not yet melted between his fingers, and his thoughts were still immersed in the difficulties he encountered.
This difficulty is not entirely due to strategic planning, but also in strategic planning, and people and worldly affairs must be taken into account.
Xiahou Yuan came to him and said that Cao Chun lost his first battle in Youzhou and needed further arrangements.
But this matter actually has nothing to do with Chen Qun.
Youzhou is heavily guarded by troops, and the generals are the main control. Chen Qun only needs to provide materials well. The rest of the matters are not suitable for too much.
Especially the matter of military and armor.
It is actually not difficult to speculate that Xiahou Yuan’s intestines are itchy. Xiahou Yuan’s hands are itchy.
The attack on Cao Chun's rear camp should indeed be held accountable for the responsibilities of the military academy, but in theory, he could not make any decision on such matters.
The country has its own laws and the court has its practices. No matter who it is, as long as it is an officer or a civil servant who loses his land, he will be detained before investigation, and wait for the officials of relevant departments to sort out the matter, who has the reasons and what punishment should be taken, and write a detailed official document and submit it. Chen Qun can directly issue it with a seal and issue it directly, and if it exceeds his authority, it will be handed over to Prime Minister Cao Cao.
But this time, it's not like this.
Xiahou Yuan, who knew exactly how to deal with things, was like an idiot, and actually put this matter in front of him and asked him to make a decision...
Chen Qun knew that Xiahou Yuan was embarrassed to come forward, so he pretended to be stupid.
After all, Cao Chun is also Cao Cao's family, and it is hard to say that his family members impeached him, so he simply gave Chen Qun the dilemma.
It is a fact that something happened to Cao Chun’s back camp, but it may not be necessary to exaggerate it.
No one can say that he is guaranteed to win every battle.
Moreover, Cao Chun is not saying that the victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion, and there are heavy losses. He is nothing but the attack on the back camp, and there may be some food and grass deficiency. Overall, it cannot be said that he is defeated and cannot fight again.
Impeachment now doesn't seem to be a little...
Although Chen Qun temporarily sent Xiahou Yuan over, Chen Qun knew that Xiahou Yuan would definitely come to him again.
He clenched his fists and let go, looking at the gray-black clouds that seemed to be buckled above his head. The bleak and pale sun was slowly moving behind the clouds. He sighed silently in his heart.
This is difficult to deal with.
Just like the document reported by Xiahou Shang, it said that he not only defeated the invading Hu Qi, but also excavated a young Cao general on the battlefield, entrusted with important tasks, calmed down and gathered the defeated troops in the war, and maintained the safety of the rear camp...
When I looked at it, I thought it was not because of the attack, but because Xiahou Shang had won the battle.
A piece of withered yellow leaves crawled across the ridge of the wing house by the wind, and fell swaying into the yard with a thin layer of snow. They rolled all the way on the icy stone floor, and then hit the steps of the yard gate with the wind.
Just find a way out!
The steps are ready...
Before Chen Qun returned to the table, he opened the information on the table.
One is a report of the defenders in the Linyu area of ​​Leyang. Recently, it is often found that the Dingling people were catching cavalry, and it is said that the Dingling people almost occupied Liaodong and seemed to have the intention of coveting western Liaoning.
The information lists the areas of the Dingling Cavalry's activity in the past ten days in detail. Chen Qun looked through it in detail, and then a reason rose in his mind. Is it possible that these Dingling people want to occupy a leading position in the Linyu area of ​​Leyang before heavy snow is closed, or are preparing for a feint attack to test the strength of Cao's army in western Liaoning?
After all, Liaodong and Liaoxi are like two pieces of meat on a shoulder pole. After eating one side, you will naturally think about the other side...
Another piece of information was the statement sent by Xiahou, who stated that the rear camp was attacked and requested reinforcements.
So can these two things be linked together?
Chen Qun walked to the map set up in the corner of the house, followed the summary in the detailed text and compared it repeatedly with the map. He stood in front of the map for a long time, then he thought about returning to the table, dipped his pen in cinnabar and made eye-catching marks on the cover of the official document, and then put the two documents together.
From beginning to end, he did not sign any comments on this document.
Then, Chen Qun called the attendant and asked someone to deliver the two documents to Xu County urgently...
…(д)…
Chang'an.
Qinglong Temple.
In a small hall, people were standing in a rush of people.
In the middle position of a slightly higher level, there were two seats, and two people sat facing each other, staring at each other, as if they were about to pounce over and beat and tear each other together the next moment.
The students around were surrounded by several levels, and even the windows were full of people.
A man on the left stood up slightly and said loudly: "Mencius also said that everyone can be Yao and Shun. Under Yao's clothes, recite Yao's words, and perform Yao's actions. Under Jie's clothes, recite Jie's words, and act the actions of prohibitions, he is Jie. Therefore, if you want to understand the rules of the people, it is the order of sages. Yao and Shun are the same as people's paths, and sages are also the same as the people's paths! This is our mission and the great cause of Confucius."
After the words came to arouse many people nodding and echoing.
Suddenly there was chaos.
Under the intentional guidance of the General of the Cavalry, the debate in Qinglong Temple began to gradually become formal.
The topics of confusing, disorderly, random and absurd debate at the beginning were revoked, while other topics with relatively far-reaching significance were repeatedly discussed.
Although it is still impossible to say that all topics are positive, they have been controlled in a certain way in general, and the situation of suppressing and banning by Zheng Xuan and others is gradually eased.
Things in literature and thought are the most difficult to explain clearly.
But it is also the most important.
Generally speaking, unless the ruling class of the superstructure does not want the people to think, it will not easily use one-stop means of deleting posts, banning speech, and detaining one-stop. However, in the implementation process of the middle and lower levels, the one-size-fits-all situation caused many 404s to appear.
Fear of something happening, fear of taking responsibility, fear of being taken off, fear of being knocked off, so everyone's mouths were sealed, and a little wind would blow them up and immediately pull them down. To show loyalty, it would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. There were many such things in ancient times.
Don’t make trouble, don’t make things difficult for me. I’m just a minor official in charge, I’m also taking advantage of other people’s jobs, etc. These middle and lower-level officials who are banning are just constantly telling their own difficulties, but never considering whether their actions have caused any harm to ordinary people.
Just like this time Zheng Xuan and others were banning the remarks, which was not the intention of Fei Qian, the General of the Cavalry, but Zheng Xuan and others were under the banner of Fei Qian. If Fei Qian had not seen that it would be useful in Zheng Xuan and others in the future, they would have to be punished.
Death crime is not the case, but it is inevitable that the crime of living is a crime.
The left head was at the bottom, and the person on the right sat up and looked around for a while. When the voice of discussion gradually fell, he coughed gently and said, "Everyone can be Yao and Shun, but everyone does not have to be sages! The so-called obedience, reciting, and practicing can hardly compete with the heart! If you don't have good intentions and have conscience, how can you learn Yao and Shun and imitate the sages? Therefore, there is a difference between farmers and farmers, and workers, and they do their own ways to achieve great harmony."
The audience was whispering again, feeling that what this person said seemed to make some sense.
The person on the left sneered at it, "Just! How can you calm down the good and evil of your mind? In the name of good, you have no knowledge of evil things in ancient and modern times! You suddenly said that the poem says that the boss has orders, and does not ask about the original heart, regardless of good or evil, and does not distinguish right from wrong, and follows the rules. So what is this? Is it good, evil? Wicked people can do good deeds, and good people can also do evil deeds! Judging from the heart, there is nothing to be said about it!"
"Is it impossible to argue? Good and evil will be publicly discussed! Those who do the world will do good, and those who go against the world will do evil. This is a principle that has not changed for the ages!" The person in the right leader tried to give in and refute directly, and after saying that, he raised his head, as if he represented the so-called "public theory".
The person on the left smiled at the sky, as if he had heard the funny thing.
"How can public theory be public theory?! If you and I discuss it here, will it be public theory? If you and I are not worthy of public, how many can we call it public theory? People in the world are crowded, but those who are below the people and those who are considering the world by themselves are crowded! Those who accumulate customs and noble ears and eyes are crowded! These are crowded, and can they also be public theory?"
The man in the right head widened his eyes, "Rumorous! Ridiculous! The public opinion cannot be made public opinion, so what can be made public opinion?!
The man at the left smiled and said, "Confucius also said that if there is a way in the world, then rituals, music, and conquests will come from the emperor! If there is no way in the world, then rituals, music, and conquests will come from the princes! If there is no way in the world, rituals, music, and conquests will come from the princes! If there is a way in the world, it will be hopeless for ten years; if there is a big official, it will be hopeless for five years; if there is a way in the world, it will be hopeless for three years. If there is a way in the world, it will be hopeless for all. Therefore, if there is a way in the world, it will not be discussed! There is no public opinion! Do you know, do you know?!"
"This..." The person on the right obviously didn't expect this and was suddenly stuck.
Of course, the people on the left are not saying the truth. The so-called "the emperor gave" rituals and music conquests was just Confucius' wishful thinking. He agreed that the emperor would not make mistakes, and that he was as capable as Zhou Gong. But in fact, not all emperors could meet Zhou Gong's standards.
However, in this passage by Confucius, it does reveal the truth that has been extended to later generations. The so-called "the world has a way, "rituals, music, and conquering comes from the emperor", and the sign of no way is that the princes in various places have their own "rituals, music, and conquering". Increased the amount layer by layer, and do not give up if they don't kill the people, or even violate each other's complicated local rules, which are the biggest drawbacks of the feudal dynasty and a stumbling block that hinders the development of Chinese civilization.
"The world has a way, so the common people will not discuss it." After all, ordinary people are busy making a living every day, able to make food and clothing, and able to support the elderly and children, most of them are exhausted. If the government is harmonious, who has the leisure to do something about "public theory"? If there is time to cultivate more land, rest more, earn more money, and buy some rice, flour and some cloth for their families. Wouldn't it be nice?
There are really large-scale outbreaks of "public theories", which often lead to the extreme social conflicts and a lot of resentment. But what is interesting is that these officials who usually talk about "public theories" will cover their mouths at this time, arrest them, and use all means to suppress "public theories", completely forgetting how much they have praised the so-called "public theories" before.
『Cough cough...』 The man on the right head coughed a few times, and then said loudly, 『Everything in heaven and earth is of bad benefit, and the so-called public opinion is the same! How can one say it? Only the etiquette of heaven and earth is immortal, so the etiquette of public opinion should first follow the etiquette of heaven and earth. The etiquette is not based on the first scholars and the other, but on the first scholars, it is clear that etiquette is recorded and recorded in writing and recorded it! We inherit the past and open the future to clarify the etiquette! How can farmers and villagers talk about etiquette?』
The man on the left was not busy, "It seems that this is not bad at first hearing, but it is a big mistake. As the saying goes, after bowing and giving, there are some releases and slashes, and after bowing and giving, many of them are usurped. In ancient times, there are many such things as bowing and giving. Is bowing and giving a favor? What should Duke Zhou be like? What kind of rituals can be polite to Duke Zhou? Those who practice the former cannot be followed by the past, and those who are suitable for the past cannot be adapted to the present. The so-called rituals should be appropriate for the times. Those who pass by are all straw dogs, aren't they also rotten? "
The times are always developing, and the so-called principles must be constantly updated to adapt to new social forms.
The same is true for laws and regulations derived from the truth.
The student on the right head said in a frustration: "If you say, there will be no fixed rituals in the world! In the court, the officials who have studied the scriptures in their old age, why did they open this great treatise on Qinglong Temple to discuss the three rituals? Is it because they want to ridicule the cavalry and disobey the court?"
In fact, at this time, the words on the right head are basically exhausted, and he may not have to impose any crime on the other party, but he just feels that his face is empty and he is just looking for a way out.
It is very important to have a step.
The left man sneered, saying that it was just a big hat, not a new method, just like he was always in the upper document and the boss ordered the orders, and often failed to come up with any specific items. "Are you talking about etiquette just talking about guilt? Such behavior is like destroying the rural school to make a mistake. What's the difference? You say that studying is to seek clarity, but you actually want to seek personal desires! Yang is polite, Yin is private, and you are imitated and elegant, acting like a dog and bragging, and you are like an ugly woman!"
"You, you... you actually hurt someone!" The man in the right head was furious.
"You are allowed to lie, and you are not allowed to curse?" The man on the left laughed, "Absurd, absurd, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
The man on the right screamed, jumped up in anger, and shouted to the students around him: "What you see today is that this person is extremely arrogant and has no words. It's better not to distinguish this argument today!"
The person on the left also stood up and did not give any steps to the person on the right. "If you can't argue, you are falsely accusing others of being ruthless, pretending to be a villain! How can such people have the three rites of Yan Lu? Sitting with them is really shameful! Go away quickly, go away quickly! You are really breathing dirty and stenching unbearable!"
Everyone watching outside laughed and looked very happy.
『You, you...』
The man on the right screamed, and was in a dilemma, and was so angry that he went forward to pull the man on his left. Then the two of them fought in one place until the soldiers who maintained order rushed in and separated the two...
One debate ended, and another debate began again.
Chapter completed!
