Chapter 1891: Build the framework and pursue the title of Wang family
In the yamen of the Hussars General of the Han Dynasty, the communication between Fei Qian and Pang Tong continued.
In Fei Qian's mind, Pang Tong was probably a transitional person between the traditional Han nobles and the modern concepts he upheld. After all, under Lushan, Fei Qian also secretly fed Pang Tong a lot of private goods.
And what should I say about Xu Shu, who is also under Lushan Mountain...
Sometimes one's background determines one's horizons. Although this sentence sounds a bit absolute, it does reflect some realistic situations. There is a big difference between Pang Tong and Xu Shu.
For Xu Shu, Guangzong and Yaozu come first, and then the rest. This may be because Xu Shu was originally from a poor family, and he had been bullied by aristocratic families for many years... Well, having said that, Xu Shu also killed someone after all.
, according to the concepts of modern people in later generations, even if murder is excusable, it is still a violation of the law. The circumstances can be mitigated, but it cannot be said that there is no responsibility at all. Is it just this Han law...
So overall, Pang Tong's perspective will be slightly higher, closer to Fei Qian's personal perspective, and then Xu Shu's perspective will be a bit lower, roughly the same.
As for Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming, one is obsessed with farming and doesn't care much about other things. The other is a mortal and his reaction is a little slow. Most of the time, he is an afterthought.
Therefore, Fei Qian would basically discuss it with Pang Tong if there was something important. It would be bad if he was too ahead of his time. After all, what Pang Tong could accept could be understood by other nobles after thinking about it.
Yes, but whether you are willing to accept it or not is another matter.
The laws and systems of the Han Dynasty were simply full of loopholes. It was like wearing a fishing net on the body. It was said that it was worn, but it was indeed worn. However, the Han laws were full of holes, large and small, and everything on the body was also covered with holes.
exposed.
Laws are enacted by the ruling class, so most laws have a backdoor that provides the ruling class with this or that escape. Even in later generations, the so-called capitalist state that claims to be "the most complete and standardized"
The law that comes out actually has the word "money" written in big letters. With money, there is fairness. Without money, there is no human rights. The outline of the back door is very clear.
To whom the law is more "fair" depends on who promulgated the law and who compiled it...
Just like the laws of the Han Dynasty, they were promulgated by the emperor of the Han Dynasty and then compiled based on the surnames of the gentry. Therefore, they must represent the interests of the emperor of the Han dynasty and the gentry families. As for ordinary people, they don’t even know the big Chinese characters of Yidou, and
How is it possible to participate in such an advanced word game?
In the early Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang made a "three-chapter law", "Those who kill will die, and those who injure others and steal will not be punished. I will remove the Qin law." This is the earliest law of the Western Han Dynasty.
Then, such a simple law obviously could not meet the needs of the ruling class, so it didn't take long for Liu Bang to say that "the law of three chapters is not enough to prevent traitors" and ordered Prime Minister Xiao He to re-formulate the Han law based on the Qin law. Xiao He was in Qin Liu
On the basis of the law, three chapters were added, namely "Household Code", "Xing Code" and "Station Code", and combined into nine chapters, it was called "Nine Chapter Code".
Later, there were "Bang Zhang Law", "Yue Gong Law", "Chao Law", "Shen Ming Law", "Tong Xing Diet Law", as well as "Zuoguan Law" and "Fu Yi Zhi Law", especially in the Han Dynasty During the reign of Emperor Wu, the famous "Law of Slander" was formulated...
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Guangwu completely abolished the laws of the Wang Mang period, he restored the old laws of the Western Han Dynasty, vowing to "unravel Wang Mang's complicated laws and restore the light laws of the Han Dynasty." However, in fact, the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not exist at all. Rather, it is due to the constant addition of new laws and regulations, which appear to be numerous, complex and cumbersome, which has become a drawback. Some regulations have different interpretations in different laws, making it difficult for law enforcement officers to enforce the law even if they want to. .
"So, my lord wants to re-establish the law?" Pang Tong took a breath.
This is a huge project, so big that Pang Tong feels a headache just thinking about it. He finally had three chins, and every time he worked on it, he lost one. If he continued to work on this project, I'm afraid... The remaining two and a half jaws cannot be saved...
Fei Qian laughed, shook his head and said, "No..."
Fei Qian wants to make troubles, but the purpose of the troubles is not just to mess around, but to divert the attention of the noble family on the one hand, expand his own influence on the other hand, and at the same time improve the economic strength of Chang'an Zuojin. How is this possible? Now for the so-called "legal justice", you have made it clear that you are going to confront the current emperor and nobles, and then follow Wang Mang's old path?
As the saying goes, enter the village quietly and don't shoot.
"This is the Council of Counselors... er, the Council of Laws and Regulations..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Because the laws, orders, and disciplines are complex and inconsistent, it is difficult to cure treachery and delinquency, and it is detrimental to loyalty. But it can be done with Long. In Shouyuan, in the Qinglong Temple, this courtyard of the law was opened, where wine was set up to offer sacrifices to the law, and the law was taught, simplifying the complexity, and clarifying the law. In Shiyuan's opinion, who is suitable for this position?"
Hearing what Fei Qian said, Pang Tong also understood a little bit. Fei Qian was not trying to overthrow the Han Code, but at most it was to re-repair it. It was not even a re-repair, it was just a simplification. He thought for a moment and suddenly smiled and said, "See One word, very wonderful, very wonderful! This is the effect of the "three-chapter agreement" on the old affairs to stabilize the people's hearts! Well, if this is the case, how about letting Wei Xiufu take up this position for the first time? 』
Wei Duan?
Weishi is a surname from Chang'an, and he has lived in Sanfu for a long time. He uses it as a ritual wine. Well, it seems to be good.
Fei Qian pondered and nodded slightly.
First, it reflects the importance Fei Qian attaches to the local people in Chang'an. How can it not be an important task to hand over the laws of the country?
Although Fei Qian and Pang Tong both know that this is just a false position and of no use, others don't know. As the saying goes, if a staff officer does not have a leader, then there is no difference. Fei Qian is an old Party A, so he is really worried about it. Doesn't it make Wei Duan feel ecstatic?
At the same time, it can control public opinion within a fixed range and find something to do for these idle gentry children in Chang'an. Pang Tong obviously understood this aspect, so he suggested it to Wei Duan. After all, Wei Duan can be said to be the local leader of the Guanzhong gentry. , led by him, it will definitely be easier to gain popularity than others.
Pang Tong was also wondering, and suddenly added, "If this is the case, your lord might as well issue an edict to Taiyuan, Hedong, Hanzhong, Heluo, Sichuan, Shu and other places to recommend one or two village bosses to join the Shenlu Yuan?"
Pang Tong chuckled twice, "If Shandong wants to come, you might as well join it!" The more people there are, the harder it is to get things done, and the more opinions there are, so we just stew in a pot!
"Good! That's how it is!"
Fei Qian laughed loudly, and then poured new wine for Pang Tong. The two touched each other lightly, drank together, and then looked at each other and smiled.
After putting down the wine cup, Fei Qian gently knocked on the table and said: "When the Senate is established, we will first discuss the crime of corruption..."
Pang Tong looked sideways at Fei Qian and nodded slowly, indicating that he had taken note of it.
The matter of Fei He is no longer a secret.
Many people were waiting to see Fei Qian's jokes, or some people were waiting when Fei was being dragged and launched into the water.
If Fei Qian is given a light punishment, a lot of people will inevitably jump out, laugh at him, make jokes about Fei Qian, and let some children sing them. These are all basic operations. It is even possible to use Fei He as a shield to block the attack.
Resist Fei Qian's next step of verification and cleanup work from the front.
If the sentence is severe, these people will attack Fei Qian from another aspect, such as saying something ruthless, indifferent between relatives and strangers, cold-blooded cruelty, seeking fame and reputation, etc. Anyway, between Fei Qian and other Fei surnames
People, or maybe there is a thorn in the side between Pang and Huang who are closer to Fei Qian. Let’s see, if Fei Qian doesn’t even take care of his own family, will he still take care of you?
Fei Qian had considered this at the beginning, so he did not deal with Fei He directly for the time being, but asked Fei He to wait at home. However, Pang Tong thought that Fei Qian would let everyone speak out during the general meeting.
I didn't expect that it would be handed over to the Senate for processing.
"Now that the pavilion is standing, we will wait for the storm to rise..."
Pang Tong flicked the wine cup with his fingers, and it made a tinkling sound, acting as an accompaniment.
Zhiyin Supervisor and Shenlu Yuan seem to be two unrelated frameworks, but in fact Pang Tong knew that these were the chess pieces placed on the chessboard by Fei Qian. They were talking about the two people sitting by the stream under Lushan Mountain.
Now that we are seeing things unfolding and being realized bit by bit, how can we not make Pang Tong feel emotional?
"Today's joy cannot be repaid without Qiang cooking!" Pang Tong said categorically, with a serious look on his face, as if the discussion just now was all gossip and now he is talking about political affairs.
Fei Qian laughed and immediately ordered his servants to prepare first.
Back then, under Lushan Mountain, we would often sit on the table in front of a copper cauldron, chatting while cooking.
"Send someone to invite Zijing again, and Zijian is here!" Fei Qian simply continued to order, "Prepare some sweet rose wine, and let's enjoy it tonight!"
Pang Tong put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying good deeds repeatedly.
For a moment, laughter jumped over the wall of the General Office, and then gradually drifted with the sound of the wind...
……(?▽?)/ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……
Some places are full of laughter, and some places are full of sadness.
If there is still some residual heat in Chang'an, then in Taiyuan, it is already a bit windy, frosty and cold, especially around the Wang family's residence in Taiyuan, which seems to have entered the cold winter ahead of schedule.
The palace of the Wang family in Taiyuan used to be where the family was at its peak, with a large natural architectural system and extraordinary grandeur. But now, it is no longer grand.
It seems that the front door of the Wang family's residence has not been opened for a long time. The red paint on the original front door is cracked, revealing the dark brown wood grain inside. No one seems to have cleaned up the moss on the steps, and there are still a few stray particles.
Grass grows tenaciously from the cracks in the rocks, showing the stubbornness of life and also setting off the current misery of the Wang family mansion.
The Wang family of Taiyuan was dominant in Jinzhong at that time, suppressing the Wen, Bao, Guo and other noble families. They could even control the Shangdang remotely and order and control the Wen family head and others.
Now, without having to wait thirty years, people from the east of Hedong have already moved to the west of Hexi.
Wang Yun jumped on the city wall of Chang'an and died. However, Li Guo was cruel and did not spare his family just because Wang Yun died. After taking control of Chang'an, Wang Yun's family was slaughtered.
Naturally, the old man of the Wang family was deeply hit by such bad news. He passed away soon after with heartbroken heartache. Then Wang Yun's second son, Wang Chen, was also in pain and sorrow. He was infected with wind and cold and could not survive for long.
, wither and fall.
Originally there was only one grandson Wang Hei left in the Wang family, so there was some hope. However, he was entrusted to an inhumane person and was plotted against him. Sadly, the Wang family pavilion completely collapsed, and now only a few old women, widows, and Wang are left.
The last remaining granddaughter of Yun's bloodline is guarding the last property, which is the dilapidated Wang family's mansion. Naturally, it is impossible to take care of the Wang family's mansion, which is as bright and beautiful as in the past.
For example, the Wang Family Mansion currently has a title in the countryside, which is "extreme household". It means that the whole family has no male members, no descendants to speak of, and naturally no hope for the future.
In addition, Wang Ling, a branch of the Wang family, has become a bit more mature and holds an important position under the Hussar. Therefore, some of the vines and other things that were originally clinging to Wang Yun's house in Taiyuan have now basically turned their heads to Wang Ling. Basically,
He cut off the connection with this place. If Wang Ling hadn't sent some people to send some food, clothing and other things during the cold and heat seasons of the year, I'm afraid the women and children who remained in the Wang family's mansion would have long ago
Can't go down anymore.
No matter how well Wang Ling takes care of them, allowing the women and children in Wang Yun's room to have enough food and clothing, that's all.
This place is like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples. It will gradually dry up under the wind and sun, and eventually only a messy and broken skeleton will be left, which will be turned into ashes under the rasp of time.
Many people think that Wang Yun's body is already as good as a dead person, but it is just lingering. In fact, it is not only outsiders who think so, but also Wang Chen's widow, the Fang family.
Fang is the second son of Wang Yun and the wife of Wang Chen. She was only thirty years old now. If she were placed in future generations, she would still be a gorgeous age. But now she looks haggard and withered like an old woman.
The Fang family only gave birth to one daughter, named Ying, who is still alive today. In the entire huge Wang family mansion, the only remaining maids of the Fang family for many years and the last three old slaves of the Wang family are Wang Yun and Wang Yun.
The last personnel.
However, on this day, someone dropped a huge stone into this pool of stagnant water. Not only did it cause the pool to tremble continuously, it also caused the mosquitoes and flies attached to the pool to desperately absorb the last bit of moisture from the pool.
The maggots also felt the change and began to buzz and circle...
In the main street of Wang's residence, a group of people came in a hurry, and then went straight to the door of the palace, knocking on the door, ignoring the dust and rust from the door that had not been opened for a long time.
He knocked on the door and called the door again, but after a while there was no movement and no one responded.
The visitor couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately reacted, patted himself on the forehead, and then hurriedly walked along the street and turned to the corner door of Wang's mansion...
Not long after knocking this time, an old slave came to open the door.
The visitor didn't say much, and the first sentence he asked was whether Fang was in the house. Seeing the frightened look on the old slave's face, he felt that he was being rude, so he slowed down his tone, coughed a few times, and said that he was here to congratulate him.
I was so anxious that I lost my etiquette, so I asked the old slave to send a message so that I could explain it to Mr. Fang.
The old slave hesitated for a moment, with a somewhat frightened look on his face, but still tremblingly asked the visitor to wait, and then turned around to report.
"Tsk tsk, I remember back then..."
At this time, people who arrived discovered that the Wang family's mansion had broken eaves and broken tiles, and weeds were everywhere. There was only one commonly used path left in the courtyard that had not been encroached by the grass, and the rest was no longer suitable for use.
The originally carved and painted wing was in dilapidated condition, not to mention the holes in the window lintels, but the accumulation of dust on it and the spider webs in the corners were enough to make people feel uneasy.
"Tsk tsk tsk...I remember those days..."
The visitor sighed again, but there was not much sadness in his tone, but there was a hint of schadenfreude as he watched someone else's building collapse.
After a while, the old servant of the Wang family turned around and said that Mrs. Fang was waiting for guests in the main hall.
The visitor couldn't help but frown, obviously feeling a little unhappy that Mrs. Fang didn't come out to greet her in person, but soon put on a smile again, but this smile looked like dried orange peel.
Mrs. Fang, when she saw the coffin placed in the main hall and the underworld weapon vaguely exposed in the back, her face suddenly changed a bit.
The visitor could not help but secretly cry out for bad luck, so he simply did not enter the hall. He stood in the corridor and said directly: "I hope that Mrs. Fang will know about it. I'm so happy, so happy! Today, I will remember Wang Situ's loyalty and bravery, and I will grant you the title of Anle."
Lord Ting! The edict has arrived east of the river and will arrive soon!"
Fang's eyes were like a walking corpse, slowly fluctuating, and then suddenly his eyes widened, and his eye sockets were almost cracked, and a sound like sand and gravel was squeezed out of his throat, "This...this statement...take it seriously."
?』
When the visitor saw Mrs. Fang in such a state, he was disgusted and almost wanted to jump up and avoid it, but he held it back, rolled his eyes a few times, managed to put on a smile, and said, "Aha! What did Mrs. Fang do to deceive her? Really?"
I'm so happy! This...Mrs. Fang knows clearly that now that the angel is coming and the palace is in ruins, it is really not suitable to receive gifts... It's not as good as, haha, if Mrs. Fang doesn't give up, I have a separate courtyard, which is quite elegant..."
Fang's protruding eyes retracted little by little, and he smiled hoarsely, like an old crow, "I dare not bother you... Since you are the legacy of the family master, you should be granted the title here! Is there any reason to be a guest?"
』
The visitor shook his face and laughed twice, "You have good intentions! If you evil angel, then the edict will not be issued, isn't it... Mrs. Fang, don't make a mistake!"
"I have my own sense of propriety...and I thank you for telling me...here you come! See you off!" Mrs. Fang stood up with a trembling voice, "I am handicapped, so I will see you off far away!"
The visitor rolled his lips, shook his sleeves, and laughed dryly. Although he obviously wanted to say something else, Mrs. Fang had already turned around and returned. She wanted to catch up, but she felt that there was something in the hall.
The coffin was so disgusting that in the end he snorted and left in dismay.
Fang gritted her teeth and walked to a place to avoid people. She could no longer hold back the emotions that surged in her heart. She shook her body a few times and stumbled to the ground. She opened her mouth like a wounded wild dog, but she could only let out a small sound.
There was a small wailing sound, and the tear glands that had been dried up by crying could not secrete any liquid. They just grabbed the ground with their heads, and after a long time they uttered a sad cry, "Husband..."
