"This is a place that has rotted to the extreme..." Jia Xu looked at Zhang Liao and others walking away with a smile on his face, "From skin to bone, everything is rotten... A place like this, the more...
Apply plaster on it, and it will become more and more rotten inside..."
"I was born and raised here, and I want to make this land a better place every day, but..." Jia Xu laughed strangely a few times, "I just saw it getting worse and worse.
It’s getting worse! Everyone is competing with each other! Whoever is worse can live a better life!』
"Well, there are some that are not rotten... but those that are not rotten are dragged away by a bunch of rotten people, and then they either gradually become rotten, or they can no longer smell the rotten smell and become accustomed to it...
" Jia Xu patted the battlements hard, and his palms turned red. "It stinks up and down the Longyou, inside and outside! Don't you smell it?!"
The guards around Jia Xu could not help but be a little surprised. They exchanged glances with each other, somewhat uneasy, because they rarely saw Jia Xu being so emotional.
There was only one young man standing beside Jia Xu, silent and speechless.
"I used to think that rot was passed down from above, so I once wanted to knock down these rotten houses, these damaged walls, these worm-infested beams and pillars!" Jia Xu raised his head and pulled down
He stretched his hand forward, as if pushing something, and then pushed it down, and then let out a sigh, "Unfortunately... I found that it was useless... This kind of rot did not come from above at all."
, they just wanted to die, and then they just found an excuse..."
"Just like your father..." Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Han Guo, "Your father is half a bad person... He originally wanted to be a good person, but in the end he was eroded and rotten... When your father
When he starts to make excuses for his own rottenness, he is already hopeless..."
Han Guo remained silent, just like he had been throughout his life for so many years, silently listening and learning, like a weed in the cracks of the rocks, inconspicuous.
The debts of the father are repaid by the sons. Sometimes this sentence seems a little unreasonable, but sometimes it makes sense. Not all debts can be eliminated, and not all debts can be superimposed infinitely. Although Han Sui can only be regarded as his adoptive father, so is his adoptive father.
Father, he is the one to repay his father's sins. His father, Han Sui, promised on the altar back then that he would return a peaceful world to Longyou, but in the end, even Han Sui himself sank into it.
This is Han Sui's debt, and this is Han Guo's career.
Jia Xu looked at Han Guo's calm eyes, and then laughed, "Well, that's right...I thought you would be furious, or suppress your anger..."
"Be strict first..." Han Guo finally spoke, his voice hoarse, like sand and gravel grinding against each other, completely inconsistent with his young appearance, "I have said something before, but I will change it..."
"Where did you come from?" Jia Xu asked.
"Guo..." Han Guo frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that his name seemed a bit inappropriate, "Please give me some advice..."
"You have to start from a small place." Jia Xu said slowly, "The emperor has made mistakes, but if one person's mistakes are corrected appropriately, how many people will be harmed? The ministers have made mistakes, but if there is a voice of integrity, they will restrain themselves to some extent.
One or two, officials have their faults. If the discipline and law are strict, they can be less corrupt. The common people also have their faults. If..."
Jia Xu suddenly stopped and tilted his head, as if he had encountered some problem. He thought for a moment, "I have been there too. Back then, I devoted myself to overthrowing these things and never thought about how to build them... Now, it's time to change...
…Go away! Correct all the mistakes you made back then!』
Han Guo bowed his head in obeisance, then straightened up, turned and walked down the city wall, slowly walked along the street, and entered the Jincheng Mansion Yamen Hall. He looked at the people sitting or standing in the hall.
Young officials and subordinates, big and small, said in a deep voice, like gold and stone falling to the ground: "By order of the hussar!"
Around the cloister and in the courtyard, everyone was either sitting or standing in silence. The only sound was the wind blowing through the roof and the sound of the three-color flag swinging...
"A gentleman, be Hongyi!"
"Heaven and earth cannot be betrayed, and the people cannot be bullied!"
"Since you are a gentleman, you must take good care of yourself, and your original intention cannot be changed. To help the world, your original intention cannot be changed!"
"Today's investigation shows that local officials in Longyou are corrupt, colluding with each other, shielding each other, and poisoning the place. Special order!"
"Thoroughly inspect the warehouses, check the accounts, verify the write-offs, and recover the dirty money! Anyone who has corrupted the court and paid taxes, usurped people's land, and occupied the countryside within ten years will be investigated!"
"Those who pay more will be reduced, and those who stubbornly resist will be beheaded!"
"If you accept bribes, have illicit relationships, tamper with accounts, or cover up collaborators, you will all be guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be punished with three additional grades! In special times, military laws are enforced. If there is chaos in the army, and the commander of the army protects his subordinates, it is extremely unfair."
Those who investigate will behead the commander. If the commander is protecting the corps commander and the team leader does not check, the team leader will be killed! If the team leader is in chaos and the military leader does not check, the military leader will be beheaded! If the military leader is in chaos, I will personally kill him, and then
Raise your head to the hussar and kill yourself to thank him!"
"Everyone, please be careful and encourage me!"
A large number of heads lowered, and the overall voice became louder: "Wei! I obey the order of the hussar!"
"Everyone is here! Let's go!"
……(`Д′*)9……
"Master! Master!"
In the yamen of Wei Duan Mansion in Chang'an, a steward was sweating profusely. He held up the hem of his robe in front of him with one hand and hurried forward.
"Why are you so alarmed?" Wei Duan frowned slightly.
"The head of the family..." The steward swallowed, then moved closer and whispered, "The people from Longyou... said, said..."
Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, and then stood up suddenly, "Is this serious?"
After saying the words, Wei Duan also knew that asking was in vain. It was just a subconscious behavior because he was too anxious, so Wei Duan immediately added, "Where is the person?"
"It's in the front yard. Will the owner go there now?" the steward asked.
Wei Duan took a step forward, but stopped, then stood, frowning and thinking, "Blast him out!"
"Ah?!" The steward was stunned.
"...Then take him to the house at the corner of the back alley..." Wei Duan retracted his step, "Remember! I have never seen this person before!"
"I understand! I understand, little one!" The manager nodded and turned around.
"Hussars...what are you doing?" Wei Duan walked around in the hall with his hands behind his back.
I thought that General Fei Qian went north to Yinshan, and Guanzhong could at least calm down a little bit. But what I didn't expect was that there was really nothing big going on in Guanzhong, and then something big happened in Longyou. Looking at this situation, it seemed that he was going to turn Longyou upside down.
Generally. But the question is, what should I do in this matter?
Wei Duan suddenly thought of Du Ji, and then suddenly realized that when Du Ji took office as the magistrate of Lantian County, Wei Duan thought that Du Ji was overqualified and even a little condescending, but now that he thought about it, Du Ji seemed to be the real one.
The great wisdom is far away from the hustle and bustle...
Could it be that Du Ji had foreseen this at that time?
"Here comes someone!" Wei Duan suddenly trembled, "Listen up! From now on, I will live in an official house. Anyone who comes to me will say that I am not at home! In addition, from today on, the door will be closed.
,No one in the house is allowed to leave except to buy necessary things!"
"Do you understand?" Wei Duan said urgently, "Prepare the car...wait, prepare the horse, I will go to the official house now...remember, anyone who wants to look for me will tell me that I am not here!"
……щ(?Д?щ)……
Longxi, Longyou!
The relationship between Guanzhong, Longxi and Longyou is really too close. It’s like the outside and the inside, like light and darkness.
This has been pretty much the case since the Qin Dynasty.
Guanzhong, Xianyang and Chang'an are extremely brilliant and admired by the world. Who has paid attention to what Longyou has done in this process? The bright and beautiful ones are all in Chang'an, and the dark and obscure ones, of course, fall in Longxi and Longyou.
They were so interdependent that by the Tang Dynasty, they were simply combined and called the Guanlong Group.
This question is actually very simple. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the Western Qiang wars continued. Especially during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, several major Western Qiang rebellions broke out, spending tens of billions of military resources.
The plan was to replace the generals with no less than dozens of people in command. Are they all so incompetent and unable to solve the problem?
Is it really that troublesome to suppress the Xiqiang?
Why was it so easy to suppress the Yellow Turban Army?
Some people may say that it is due to geography, because Longyou is wider than Jizhou and Yuzhou, but in fact it is not the case. Those vast areas are not suitable for settlement, and they are also not suitable for the assembly of large armies. Therefore, if you control the key points, you will also control it.
Face, that's why Jincheng is so important, and only when it is stable can it be stable.
So location is never the most important reason.
There is always only one important reason.
human heart.
What benefits will it bring to Shanxi people if they secede the Western Region and Longxi?
No.
Not at all.
It is only beneficial to Shandong people.
Want to lead a group of Shanxi people to defeat the Shanxi people on their territory? Isn’t it the same as Yingjiang leading a group of monkeys to defeat monkeys on their territory? Who will win in the end?
Therefore, the more the Han fought, the weaker they became, while Longyou became more and more chaotic.
Obviously, what Qiusi means now is that this mess should be put to an end. But these big households in Longyou are already accustomed to eating meat, so how can they change to eating grass? After all, the skills of iron-eating beasts are not those of others.
Everybody can learn it...
"This time, the Cavalry really took action..."
A group of people were silent in the shadows.
"That's my Wubao! Mine! Damn it, damn it!" Zeng Dahu patted the desk, "We must let the damn hussars know how powerful we are..."
"It's not us, it's just you..." A voice came from among the seats.
"Bastard! Who? Stand up!" Zeng Dahu said angrily, "I'm the only one now, right? I just want to ask you one question! Do the blood oaths and fingerprints sworn by the alliance back then still count?!
What’s different this time? What’s there to be afraid of? Last time it was the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty! Weren’t you treated like a fool by us?”
"Oh, you all came out one by one when we were dividing the money, and now you all want to hide away? Where can you hide?"
"This time the Hussars are going to attack the whole Longyou! The whole thing!"
"The more you hide, the more Hussar will like you!"
"When the time comes, you will all be arrested one by one, and then your homes will be confiscated one by one, and your clan will be exterminated!"
Zeng Dahu almost stood up in anger and slapped the table, "You were unwilling to come forward at the beginning. I came forward, but you were unwilling to take over this mess. I took over. Many Qiang tribesmen came down one by one because of me."
Yes, what’s wrong? Now that you think something is wrong, you want to kick me out?』
When Zeng Dahu got angry, no one spoke, they all looked at him quietly. It wasn't until he finished speaking that someone suddenly sneered and said, "You stood up in the first place because you could get more..."
"How much benefit have you pocketed in the past few years, and you pretended that no one knew about it?"
"After all, he is General Zhongyi... How nice it sounds, Zeng Zhongyi..."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately caused many people to sneer.
But the laughter did not last long. With a "boom", Zeng Dahu kicked over the table, stood up, and shouted loudly: "I am loyal or not, it is not your turn to judge! What have you done?
You don’t need me to tell you things in public? Let me tell you frankly, if you want to get things done today, don’t blame me for being rude!"
"The worst thing I can do is withdraw all the money I have acquired over the years! After all, I still have the title of loyal general! What about you? Hmm? By then, each of you will be uprooted by the hussar general, and not even a hair will be left!"
"..."
"Wow..."
In the hall, it was quiet for a moment at first, and then it immediately became like boiling rice porridge, not only gurgling, but also splashing everywhere!
"It turns out that you have been planning to threaten us for a long time?"
Among the angry shouts and curses, a cold and calm voice became more prominent, and after this voice came out, others gradually stopped and turned their heads to look.
"Beigong..." Zeng Dahu's eyes were cold, "You still want to go against me?"
"Go against us?" Beigong sneered, "To be honest, you are the one who goes against us..."
Beigong didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he didn't care about Zeng Dahu at all, "Why do you need so much money for something like this? Things have calmed down slowly, and in a few years, they will forget what happened back then... But someone
I just can’t control my greed and still want to make money..."
The noise around him became quiet when Beigong opened his mouth to speak.
Many people looked at Zeng Dahu with sneers.
Yes, we all swore an oath together, drank blood wine, and became brothers together back then, but what about these few years?
You, a once rich man, used your bloody money to exchange for a loyal general, but what about your former "brothers"? When you are making money, it is none of your business, and if something goes wrong, you have to shoulder it together. Are there such "brothers"?
?
Amidst the scolding, Zeng Dahu sneered a few times, "Well, since everyone is so embarrassed, there is nothing to say!"
"You... don't think that I haven't prepared anything," Zeng Dahu sneered, "I just came to summon you for discussion? I have already sent people to Chang'an. If something happens to me... these years
, I remember all your accounts!』
Zeng Dahu gritted his teeth and emphasized his tone, "I make money, haha. Without the cooperation of you guys, how could I make money? Even... without the bluff of the Qiang people under Beigong, how could I be like this today?"
A big stall?』
Zeng Dahu stared and sneered, "And you...you...and you...do you guys get less benefits than me?"
"..."
Immediately, many people's faces began to become more and more angry and distorted. Everyone who was named by Zeng Dahu looked like he was about to start a fight, but when he saw that others were silent, he held back.
"I am the leader, and the wind and rain hit me in the face. Didn't I say anything?" Zeng Dahu looked around, "What happened to General Zhongyi? That's what I deserve! Without me to cover up, you are alone."
Will it be so smooth for everyone to reap the benefits at a low level? It's better now. Everyone pretends that nothing is the same and wants to put me aside. Then you are all good people? Will Qiusi let you go? You are too naive.
!』
"Do you know what the Hussars did? Do you know what happened after my fort was breached?" Zeng Dahu said aggressively, "You don't know anything! But you still dare to follow me here if you don't know anything."
I talk back and still want to get away with it! You are all a bunch of idiots! Including you! Beigong!』
Bei Gong subconsciously wanted to slam the table, but held back, "Tell me...what happened after the Wubao was broken?"
Zeng Dahu stepped on the desk he had overturned, "Oh? Are you scared now? You were all so arrogant just now, why don't you jump up now? Ah?"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you really didn't want to say it, you wouldn't have asked us to come!" Beigong said coldly, "Stop being imaginary and be real!"
"Humph!" Zeng Dahu snorted, "Breaking Wubao... is nothing... You are laughing! I am heartbroken, but I also know that some losses should be paid and must be paid! But this time it is really
It’s different…it’s really different…』
Zeng Dahu's voice gradually lowered, and even trembled a little, "What happened before? It doesn't matter if we robbed our fort. They are all in the army anyway. We can't eat the money and utensils. At most, there are some
It's just a loss. Once we defeat them, it will be ours again...right? But this time...it's really different...they gave all the things and money...to those poor people...
』
"Haha..." Someone laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be better? When the time comes, wouldn't it be easier to snatch it from the hands of the poor than to snatch it from the hussar army? Haha... Uh, heh..."
It is somewhat embarrassing when you are the only one who laughs and no one else laughs.
"Idiot!" Beigong snorted unceremoniously, and then stared at Zeng Dahu, "After all, how do we cooperate?"
