As soon as Fei Qian left, he naturally couldn't hide his itinerary. The main reason was that Fei Qian didn't want to hide it, and he didn't even bother to deal with these clumsy scouts, so the area east of the river was like a meteor spying on a horse, with crazy comings and goings.
Detection reporting.
The horse's footsteps getting closer and closer naturally made Hedong more and more nervous.
"Third uncle!"
"Third uncle wants to make the decision for us!"
"The head of the family doesn't have any ideas, so Third Uncle, you need to make one up!"
"Yes, third uncle, we all depend on you..."
Pei Mao's attitude was very resolute. He resolutely cowered in front of him and did nothing. It was as if he wanted to give up all resistance and lie down, wait for the hussar to come to the east of the river, and then let the hussar deal with him and wait for the hussar to give up.
.
Pei Mao can do this, but others cannot do so. Because if Pei Mao does this, he may not really be guilty of anything, but other people who are involved in the reselling of arms will definitely be guilty!
Originally, these people just wanted to support Pei Mao to fight against the thunder, but Pei Mao was originally an old fox. After making sure that his immediate family was basically clean, they basically wanted to give up their car to save the commander...
Although it is said that you have to have some awareness when you are on the chessboard, but whether it is a small soldier, a chariot, a horse or an artillery, in fact, like the general, he does not want to die.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
After all, the money has not been spent yet!
"Third uncle!"
"Third uncle! Please say something!"
The anxiety continues to spread.
Pei Di, who was Pei Mao's younger brother in terms of seniority, quietly looked at the row of people in front of him.
It is very dangerous to stand up for these people. Even a blind person can see it. Of course Pei Di also knows about this order, but where there is risk, there is opportunity, and most of the time, the higher the risk,
The chances are greater.
The entire Pei family was originally headed by Pei Mao.
Pei Mao can be the head of the Pei family because Pei Mao's father, Pei Ye, was the governor of Bingzhou and the general of Liao Dynasty, and he was the kind who worked until death, "died in office"...
This can be regarded as laying a relatively solid foundation for the Pei family, and then through the two brothers Pei Xi and Pei Mao, especially Pei Mao, who took over the baton. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Pei Mao successively served as county magistrate and county magistrate.
Shou, Shangshu Ling, if Dong Zhuo hadn't disrupted everything, Pei Mao would have been at least the top of Jiuqing, and it might not have been impossible for the Three Dukes. All these factors gave the Pei family their status in Hedong.
But Pei Di is a bit worse.
Basically, they were accompanying each other all the way, playing the role of a small official and a minor official. At the most, he was just a county magistrate. Then when Dong Zhuo caused chaos in Heluo, Pei Pei ran away...
Therefore, whether it is from family background or personal experience, Pei Di is incomparable to Pei Mao. If there is no such thing as the current Husband, then most of the hundreds of people in the Pei family, both inside and outside, are just
You will remember that there was a family head, Pei Mao, but forget whether the family head, Pei Mao, had a disciple, what was his name, and what he did.
It's different now.
This is a crisis for the Pei family, but it is also an opportunity.
Pei Mao refused to come forward and was unwilling to resist the thunder. Naturally, these juniors and side branches who were about to be struck by lightning became extremely dissatisfied with Pei Mao, and even developed resentment over it.
Just like those people who manufacture and sell gutter oil in later generations. Although others have warned them not to do this, these people will not think that they are wrong. After all, if they don't make gutter oil, where will they get the money to buy it?
To eat the oil? If someone reports gutter oil, most of these people would not dare to resent the law enforcers. Instead, they would hate the reporter to the bone. Then when they are caught, they would often shout and wait for the labor and management to come out and so on...
Similarly, Pei Di did not dare to have any special thoughts about Hussar, but it did not mean that Pei Di did not have any thoughts about other people.
Of course, what Pei Li wants to do is not just gutter oil, he wants to get more, get more.
There was a lot of noise all around, and everyone was like a headless fly. He didn't even know if his head was on his neck, but he was still buzzing around.
Pei Di wants this effect now.
Pei Mao's silence means that he has temporarily lost the right to speak. If he can seize this opportunity...
In addition to the reason that Pei Di wanted to rise to power, Pei Di's relatives were also deeply involved in the ordnance reselling incident, which was another major reason.
If you retreat, your family may be ruined; if you advance, you may replace Pei Mao and become the new leader of the Pei family!
The problem now is...
Pei Di looked around, and then made eye contact with someone among them.
"If Third Uncle makes the decision for us! I am willing to accept Third Uncle as the head of the family!" Suddenly, a shout shook the previous buzz like thunder...
Everyone suddenly became quiet. You looked at me, and I looked at you.
Tuqiongbi... uh, dagger.
When things have reached this stage, there is nothing left to hide, because there is nothing to cover up, everything is exposed.
Pei Li laughed loudly, expressing his strategic contempt for the hussar operation, and then immediately turned to the topic, "If we talk about countermeasures... I am a little short-sighted... It just depends on whether you are willing."
", or "I don't want to"..."
Among the people present, some may have noticed it before, but some people were only aware of it later. When Pei Di said these words, it was basically clear that those who were "willing" could naturally get the so-called
A "coping strategy" that is "unwilling" means it will be given up.
At the same time, this "willingness" also means that you will rebel against Pei Mao and join Pei Di's sect...
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"The current head of the family is incompetent! He cannot gain power from above, and he dies to benefit everyone. When he encounters such a thing, he only cares about his own protection! He refuses to save his life! The corpse is left to eat! We are left to serve as mermaid meat! How detestable it is!"
The person who yelled naturally needed to go up the ladder, "My third uncle has both moral integrity and talent, as well as a compassionate heart. If I can escape this difficulty, I will definitely make my third uncle my father-in-law! He will replace mediocre people and strengthen my Pei family!"
』
"Eh... It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this... Bonus, thank you..." Pei Tao said a few hypocritically modest words, and then his face darkened, "It's just that this matter is closely related. If the information is leaked, the overall situation will be affected."
Death! Therefore, I can’t help but be careless... If you don’t have any intention of doing this, you can leave quickly now... I won’t send you far away..."
Seeing Pei Di's attitude that if everyone didn't agree, they wouldn't tell the solution. Some of those who were deeply trapped could only worry about getting through the difficulties first, and they were the first to agree to change the family and join Pei Di's family, and then
Upon seeing this, most of the other people finally expressed their willingness to support Pei Di.
"Words are unfounded, but words are evidence..." Pei Di, an old fox, naturally couldn't believe these people just based on a few words, so he took out the written documents that had been prepared long ago and asked everyone to sign one by one.
.
When everyone signed and signed one by one, Pei Di showed his smile again and said: "It will be difficult to stop Hussar... But the problem is not with Hussar, but..."
"Such and such..."
……(⊙??⊙)……
After Feiqian entered the Hedong area, it was obvious that the ordinary villages on both sides of the road gradually became fewer and fewer, while the other kind of thing, Wubao, gradually increased.
Hedong...
For Fei Qian, it can be said to be the starting point of his career.
But it is definitely not the end of Fei Qian's career, and it is not even the focus. It is a pity that not everyone in Hedong can realize this...
When Fei Qian first started to control Hedong, he was busy trying to stabilize the place and also had his sights set on Guanzhong. Moreover, the Dangtaiyuan and other areas on Yinshan Mountain were also under constant threat from Xianbei, Heishan, Yuan Shao, etc., so Fei Qian was
Can you throw your arms away and go against these gentry children from Hedong?
Anyone who really does that is either a fool or a fool.
Therefore, Fei Qian naturally adopted a prudent strategy in the Hedong area at that time, and it could even be said to be a somewhat compromising approach, maintaining relative stability and harmony with the powerful noble families in Hedong.
Now, it's time to... uh, sort out the relationship again.
There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.
Politics is gray, and there is no absolute black or white. When we can use each other, we will naturally be closer than anyone else, and we will be intimate with each other. Then when we fall out, we will naturally flip the toilet seat first, which is faster than pressing the toilet button.
.
From a certain perspective, the current problems in Hedong are actually caused by Fei Qian's deliberate connivance, so that now Fei Qian can flip the toilet seat calmly...
So, how many steps are needed to open the toilet seat?
What?
Xiao Feizhen?
Feizhen is reading Spring and Autumn Period.
This is the second tip Fei Qian gave Fei Zhen, reading the Spring and Autumn Period.
It is beneficial to read more. "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" was taught by Cai Yong to Fei Qian. Now Fei Qian teaches it to Fei Zhen, which can be regarded as an orderly inheritance in Confucian classics.
"You have been reading it for two days... Let me ask you, what is the opening chapter of Spring and Autumn Period about?" Fei Qian sat next to Fei Zhen, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly asked.
"This... the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period..." Feizhen looked up, her expression suddenly tightened, and she quickly lowered her head to flip through the book, just like a student who suddenly encountered an exam. He knew everything before the exam, but forgot everything during the exam.
"Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan" begins with Duke Yin of Lu. In the first year of Yin Gong, it is the beginning of Spring and Autumn Period. First, a brief introduction is given to the relationship between Duke Hui of Lu, Duke Yin of Lu, and Duke Huan of Lu. Then after the first year of Yin Gong, the "Zuo Zhuan" is introduced.
Next, the following historical events are introduced. First, the prince was young when Lu Yin Gong died, and Lu Yin Gong took over as regent...
Second, the king of Zhu State was not canonized by the emperor and formed an alliance with the regent Lu Yin Gong for their own needs;
Third, Duke Zhuang of Zheng defeated the rebellion of his son Duan, and Duan’s son Gongsun Hua fled to Weiguo for help. Weiguo sent troops to attack Zhengguo, and Zhengguo attacked Weiguo in the name of Emperor Zhou;
Fourth, it was disrespectful for the Zhou royal family to send minister Zai Shen to the State of Lu to offer condolences;
The fifth is the Ji people's crusade against the Yi country;
Sixth, the State of Lu formed an alliance with the State of Song to seek peace.
In addition, it also records some miscellaneous events in the State of Lu, such as the construction of Langcheng, the south gate of the capital city, the occurrence of insect pests, etc. Among them, one incident is written in the most detail...
Fei Zhen flipped through the pages, and then deliberately wanted to read according to the words in the book, but she also knew in her heart that Fei Qian was not asking about these words, but she couldn't think of something specific to extract.
I just felt like I knew every word in the Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan, but now that they were put together, it became something completely new and unfamiliar. I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"If you look at the Spring and Autumn Period at a glance, these are the things..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Big and small things, one thing after another... But if you look closely, they are very interesting... This is why I want to take you with me.
One of the reasons for a trip to Hedong... But I want to find out something specifically..."
"I still have to rely on myself..." Feizhen sighed and flipped through the book again.
Fei Qian laughed and said, "I'll give you a suggestion... Read the opening chapter of Spring and Autumn Period first. If you really understand it, then read on... Otherwise, even if you read it for ten or twenty years, you may not really be able to read it."
It is the word "understand"..."
Feizhen sighed again, frowned and followed Fei Qian's suggestion, reading the Spring and Autumn Annals from the beginning, "In the spring of the first year, Wang Zhengyue..."
Fei Qian smiled, touched Fei Zhen's head, and then let Fei Zhen read by herself.
If Feizhen just slowly understood the problem and read carefully, then the problem in Hedong can't be solved only by reading more...
Fei Qian looked up and saw that the Fen River was flowing quietly, but on both sides of the Fen River, there were many docks visible to the naked eye. There were many docks in the east of the river, even denser than those in Guanzhong.
Because of the war, Wubao is more resistant to foreign enemies than ordinary villages. However, from another perspective, the advanced form of the village may be Wubao, but it does not mean that the village must only have the development of Wubao.
direction.
Wubao has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that Wubao has formed a relatively closed model, which allows local rural gentry and powerful families to exercise political power.
In many cases, "imperial power does not go to the countryside", or it is called "national power does not go to the counties", which is pretty much what it means anyway. It seems to have become a Chinese truth and an endless cycle.
After entering the county system, the two extremes of counties basically became the template for later Chinese dynasties. Although there were some changes in names or geographical divisions, overall the administrative regions
The division still does not break away from the scope of the county system.
At the same time, the struggle for power in the past dynasties was mostly concentrated at the county and county levels. Although various grassroots organizations were set up in various dynasties below the county level, most of them were township officials or servants, and their functions were mostly related to taxation and public security.
Mainly, it is generally not regarded as an official system, but it does not mean that the imperial power has given up authority at the county and township levels from beginning to end...
For the imperial power, it is eager to extend its authority to every corner, and even wants to spread from the material level to the spiritual level.
It's just that due to various restrictions on the cost of governance and the number of officials, counties and townships are allowed to take care of themselves to a certain extent, or they can be assisted by squires. However, as long as the squire's authority exceeds the scope of the county and township, most of the time
, will immediately be suppressed by the imperial power.
Once the imperial power showed tolerance or was weak to the tyranny of the squire, the squire would tyrannize even more next time and even begin to usurp the authority of the imperial power over the counties. This led to a large number of "cruel officials" during the Western Han Dynasty.
Focused on suppressing local powerful people, even at the expense of bloodshed. After repeated purges, by the late Western Han Dynasty, at least at the spiritual level, they had become unified...
Anyone who offends a strong man will be killed no matter how far away he is.
The word "criminal" is not divided into internal and external aspects.
Unfortunately, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the new emperor Quan Guangwu relied on the power of local gentry and powerful families to rise to power. He was somewhat deficient in nature. Coupled with the lack of effective control methods, the power of the gentry, rural gentry and local powerful people continued to expand.
Taking advantage of the decline in government authority or even its withdrawal, large and small forts were built across the Central Plains.
These Wubao can be said to be miniature separatist regimes, which invisibly fragmented the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty into pieces. It was no longer possible to make a strong voice like the Western Han Dynasty.
Although there were measures to recover the Western Regions at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact it was not so much the expansion of the Western Regions as it was the final glory of the Kansai gentry family. After this group of people finally died, the Shandong gentry took control of the government.
, became the winner, and also ruined the Eastern Han Dynasty's Western Frontier.
Therefore, Fei Qian is currently patrolling Hedong, and Zhang Shi was previously sent to Hedong to investigate the case, which means that Fei Qian has begun to exercise authority and suppress Hedong's previously relatively free and independent behavior, and even some trespassing behaviors.
Just like Fei Qian's previous suppression actions against Sanfu in Guanzhong.
It has nothing to do with emotions or human relations, only politics.
This is Fei Qian's authority, but it does not mean that Hedong people are willing to accept it, especially those who have been suppressed or will be suppressed...
The first to bear the brunt are naturally the big households in Hedong.
Just like Fei Qianqiang in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong, mainly targeting large households, this time in Hedong, the main targets were at the level of large households.
The political level of the big family is very embarrassing. On the one hand, they can call the shots and dominate the country in the countryside, but if they leave the area where they are, they are nothing. Anyone who is bigger than him is useless.
You can pinch their noses, bend them when you ask them to bend over, and stick out their buttocks when you ask them to. It may seem very pitiful, but in fact, these wealthy squires are not worthy of pity at all.
It's very simple. A noble family that can be on the stage needs some reputation, and at least they are a little more restrained on the surface. As for the big families, because fame is not easy to come by, so they often have to settle for the second best.
"Profit"! And once you fall into the stage of just seeking profit, what else can you do by cheating, abducting, stealing, etc.?
Of course, it is not easy to distinguish between aristocratic families and wealthy families in the strict sense, because there are also many wealthy families within aristocratic families, and wealthy families may turn into aristocratic families.
But now Fei Qian's classification of the large households in Hedong to be cleaned up is very simple.
Not standing in the right position, not knowing how to advance or retreat...
But after arriving in Hedong, Fei Qian discovered that it was not just these big players who were not in the right position...
