Chapter 2611 Disciple, there is a difference between good and bad
Hedong.
Pingyang.
The original Pingyang County town was dilapidated and abandoned for many years due to the intrusion of the Hu people from the south. Now, under the guidance of the Hussars, it has regained its glory. It has three layers of walls and the city walls stretch for more than 20 miles. It is quite majestic.
The city embraces the prosperity of the river.
As an important town in the east of Hedong and the fiefdom of the Hussar General, Pingyang City built a huge city wall system, forming a fortress-style defense system that almost surpassed this era.
The most core part is the large-scale Huqifu Yamen system, which is similar to a palace. After years of continuous construction and additions, it has a somewhat grand and magnificent feel, with continuous corridors of houses and densely forested courtyards. It is grand in scale.
, almost comparable to the Royal Palace of the Han Dynasty.
It is even more grand than the Hsiaoqifu Yamen in Chang'an.
This is also a natural thing, after all, Pingyang is Fei Qian's fiefdom.
Who likes their house to be shabby?
There are now nearly 200,000 acres of farmland near Pingyang. Dozens of large and small villages are scattered among these reclaimed acres. Ditches built with cement and stone slabs are connected among them. Large and small waterwheels are distributed among them.
Above the river, these channels are provided with a steady flow of water.
On the side of Pingyang, Shoushan Academy has always been low-key and simple in style. On the other side, there is a huge military camp and school grounds, with guards directly under Pingyang stationed all year round, echoing the garrison in Pingyang City.
For these Pingyang defenders, the equipment and weapons are undoubtedly the best. In addition, they are selected from armies from various places. Most of them are elite veterans who have been on the battlefield and have fought in the North and Xianbei.
, almost equivalent to the direct escort of Fei Qian in Chang'an. The military discipline is extremely strict, the team is extremely orderly, everything is orderly, and the whole army is strict and dignified.
These soldiers are not just for good looks. If there is a war, these soldiers and soldiers in Pingyang must be able to immediately support the four directions of east, west, north and south. Therefore, regardless of their experience in battle formations, their ability to immediately step down, and the general's command ability,
It is indispensable.
The only thing missing is the commander-in-chief...
Of course, this was also deliberately arranged by Fei Qian. Here in Pingyang, there are powerful mid-level officers and elite veterans for daily drills and so on. There is no need for a general to lead, only a civil servant who knows a little bit about military affairs is responsible for logistics and overall arrangements.
That's it. If anything really happens, you only need to transfer the general to go over and you can go to war immediately!
In addition, there is Huang Cheng in Shangjun, Li Dian in Yinshan, Zhang Ji in Shangdang, not to mention the third assistant in Chang'an. This arrangement is the safest, and no one will worry about Pingyang's soldiers being too elite.
Some unnecessary suspicions.
A team leader went out to the city gate and took his soldiers to hand over the soldiers on duty with the previous team. The two team leaders got together and recorded the handover document while whispering a few words while they led
The soldiers were not laughing and joking like ordinary soldiers in counties and cities, but were solemn and silently changing positions.
The handover went smoothly, as usual.
The replacement team leader casually asked: "How are you today?"
The leader of the previous team answered casually: "What else can happen? Isn't it spring? There are too many caravans, and there is nothing else. Besides, who dares to cause trouble here?"
The leader of the replacement team nodded: "Although the flow of people is complicated, it can also sharpen the temperament of the soldiers. The new governor is strict in military discipline, which is not a bad thing. After all, our soldiers are well led and evaluated well."
, the hussar general can also know!』
The leader of the previous team nodded: "Brother, what I'm saying is that those who take bribes for corruption these days are all those literary and sour scholars. They are really not as good as our real achievements! If you do a good job, even if you leave the army, you will have a good job."
It is a way out, and it can be regarded as leaving a fortune to the descendants! This matter cannot be ignored!』
The two looked at each other and smiled, then said hello. Just as the leader of the previous class was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Some people from Taiyuan's Wang family came early in the morning...it seemed a little bit...
movement……"
The successor team leader nodded and said: "I've heard about this too... If you dare to smuggle in the Yinshan Mountains of the North, you are simply bored! Who was a relative of the hussar general a few years ago..."
The leader of the previous class glared at him, "Is that what you can say about the Hussars General?"
"I made a mistake...Thank you for reminding me..." The leader who took over knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned a little pale, but he didn't say much, and he called the soldiers to start inspections and inspections.
Devour
At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from a distance, and several horses were galloping towards them.
Today is a sunny day, and the visibility is excellent. These horses are coming at a gallop. Perhaps they know that they have reached the end of the field, and the people on horseback no longer care about their horsepower. The horses seem to be about to fly!
"Stop those who come! Enter the city and dismount!"
Although there is no rule against riding horses around Pingyang, the city gate area has always been an important place to attack, but there is no reason to rush in casually. Even the flags raised by the people on horseback are under the command of qiusi.
But as long as they are not in a special hurry, they are not allowed to ride directly into the city.
As the order was issued, the soldiers stationed at the city gate immediately blocked the city gate, with their spears raised, and some soldiers took off their bows and arrows, strung them, and could shoot them at any time!
The leader of the team shouted again, "Enter the city and dismount! Don't rush into the city gate! If you go further, you will release an arrow!"
Lai Qi quickly reined in his horse and replied loudly: "This is the messenger from the Puziwang County Magistrate, and he has something urgent to report to Prime Minister Xun!" With his shout, the man had already put the leather bag containing the documents on his back.
He took it off and held it up high. There was bright paint on the leather tube, which was clearly visible even from a distance of dozens of steps.
Well, it turned out to be a real messenger, but a low-level messenger.
"It's not a six-hundred-mile rush, who gave you the courage?!" The team leader waved his hand and asked people to come forward to check, "Is it unfair to let go of my hand accidentally and shoot you to death?!"
"It's urgent, it's really urgent!" the messenger also shouted, "How can matters of life and death not be urgent?"
Life or death emergency?
The team leader was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what the guard on duty said in the previous shift. Could it be that something really happened to the Wang family in Taiyuan?
……(;￢＿￢)?(*–-)?……
Taiyuan.
Taiyuan is on the upper reaches of Fen River.
In the Han Dynasty, when there was more vegetation, there was even a medium-sized marsh between Taiyuan and Pingyang and Linfen, which later generations called "wetland"...
Because of this, the overall environment of Taiyuan was considered a very good area until the Tang Dynasty, and it even became the birthplace of the Tang king.
From Hedong to Taiyuan, and even through Shilingguan and further north to Changshan, which is the Sanggan River Basin in later generations, a series of areas are like three or four eggs sandwiched between two mountain ranges.
It is a slightly oval basin with a river running through it. The yolk is a rich land that has nurtured countless Chinese people. It is also a miracle created by the uncanny workmanship of nature.
In the southern suburbs of Taiyuan City, near Huoshan Mountain, there is a villa.
One of the wonderful things about the villa here is that there are hot springs in the mountains flowing down. Even in winter, it is still warm and pleasant, making the pine trees and green plants flourish in the villa, and the white mist is steaming in the pond.
The majestic rocky mountains are extraordinary.
In such a villa, it is naturally not a place where ordinary people can stay.
What about this person? The forest is big and there is everything. Sometimes it is inevitable that some strange people will appear. For example, some people want to lie on the bodies of ordinary people to suck blood, but on the other hand they want to pretend to be aloof and unconventional.
He looks like Taiyuan Wenshi...
The Wen clan of Taiyuan also served as a prefect, but unfortunately, the Wen clan in Shangdang could not sit firmly and fell down. Later, the Wen clan in Taiyuan also could not sit firmly and fell to the ground.
But a dog that falls off will never think that it is his own problem.
There is a saying that it was once difficult to find water in the sea. After all, it has become salty and wet, and there is no way to go back.
In the backyard of the villa, and in the center of the pond within the garden, a small island in the middle of the lake was built, which connected the inside and outside through a covered bridge. Although there was no nine-winding path to the tranquility, under the rising white mist of the hot spring, the maid wore a thin shirt.
Walking back and forth on it, the figures appear and disappear, which has a unique flavor.
In the small pavilion on the island in the center of the lake, a high-level meeting was going on.
In the small pavilion, there is a fine white thatch mat and a table. Two people are sitting there, talking and laughing constantly, looking quite close. In addition, some maids are kneeling at the table to serve, adding wine and serving dishes.
The person at the top of the table is more than 20 years old, has a big face, slightly short beard, and a steady expression. He is dressed neatly in a brocade shirt. He is holding a small jade ruyi in his hand. Can he turn it around and play with it?
, although there was always a smile on his face, it felt somewhat distant.
Sitting next to him is a teenage boy, with a white face and no beard, but a rather strong figure. Perhaps he is not yet old enough to wear a crown. He only has his hair pulled up and draped over his shoulders, which is slightly a bit shabby.
As he ate the barbecue lazily, his eyes kept wandering around the breasts and legs of the thin-shirted maids in front of him.
The older young man is the son of the Wen family, called Wen Cheng, and the younger one is the son of the Wang family, Wang Huai, who came to Chang'an before.
Wang Huai Mo is said to be the product of Wang Yun's son, Wang Chen, and Hu Ji Chunfeng. It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. The main thing is that the old men of the Wang family in Taiyuan are willing to believe it, so that's it.
Wang Yun died early, Wang Chen died early, and Wang Hei died early. Three mornings later, Wang Yun's lineage was originally Ouwo, but unexpectedly the emperor Liu Xie was awarded a knighthood!
All of a sudden, his flesh and bones were reduced to a living dead!
But the problem is, Wang Ying is a woman...
If Wang Ying is older and wants to get married, this title, even if it can still be regarded as belonging to the Wang family, will become someone else's when the next generation of Wang Ying comes out.
Who are the people who are willing to marry into the family?
The laws of the Han Dynasty are over there, and a son-in-law is treated the same as a prisoner. If it’s not really the case that he can’t survive, how can a better person choose the path of becoming a wife?
So is it troublesome?
It's troublesome, and the older Wang Ying gets, the more troublesome it becomes.
If there is trouble, you must be prepared, so Wang Huai just shouted and appeared...
Wang Huai was of Hu origin, a precocious teenager, and showed amazing talent in martial arts. At only ten years old, he was violent and brave. He went into the mountains to hunt many times. He dared to chase a bear away with just one ride, which scared him.
The Wang family's servants had earth-colored faces, fearing that this boy would accidentally get in again.
The bears near Taiyuan are generally black bears, and Wang Huai has a large number of people, so the bears are not that stupid. Of course they run away when the situation is bad, but this does not prevent some people from starting to build momentum for Wang Huai, saying that he is Wang Huai.
He will definitely be a powerful general in the future and will definitely inherit Wang Yun's glory...
Er? Is Wang Yun taking the literary route?
That's not important.
What matters is "inheritance".
Mr. Wen laughed.
Mr. Wang laughed.
In fact, neither of them looks down on the other.
"Which one does Wang Xiandi like?" Wen Cheng pointed at the thin-shirted maids busy at the table and said with a smile, "Just say it and I will give it to you!"
Wang Huai laughed and said, "Then I won't be polite, just bring them all, I won't pick..."
Wen Cheng's face suddenly fell. After a moment, he laughed and changed the subject, "Brother Wang Xian, if you can make the decision, I will give you a double gift, which is fine, but you... your sister will say something then."
If so, why don’t you obediently send me back again?”
Wang Huai snorted and didn't distinguish anything. He just picked up the drink and drank it, and then said: "Come to think of it, why are you looking for me? How long will you go around? It's boring! Otherwise, you come with me."
Going into the mountains to hunt bears?!』
Wen Cheng cursed secretly in his heart, but the smile on his face did not change, "There is no rush about hunting... But in this situation, how can you not be in a hurry? If you don't stand up and express your opinion, how can you make people obey you?"
』
Wang Huai curled his lips: "Isn't that what it means to return home? Could it be someone else?"
"Ahem. You can't say this like that," Wen Cheng said, "You should treat others as nobles of the country, and they should reciprocate as nobles of the country..."
Wang Huai curled his lips, stood up and prepared to leave, "I don't understand this. Okay, if you don't want to hunt, I won't hunt. I'm leaving. Thank you very much..."
Seeing that Wang Huai was about to leave, Wen Cheng quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Brother, dear brother! Stop for a moment, stop for a moment... all of you, please step back!" The birds around him responded and stepped back.
.
"Hey, don't leave, what are you doing? I don't like this." Wang Huai looked at Wen Cheng sideways.
"Me too...Hi! Let's get down to business, come and sit down." Wen Cheng greeted, and after sitting down again, Fang lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard news that it was Yinshan Beijun Village.
A group of people who were smuggling with barbarians were caught..."
"What...what does this have to do with me?" Wang Huai said with a frown.
"Hehe..." Wen Cheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes upward, "I heard that the smugglers confessed that it belonged to your Wang family..."
Wang Huai's face changed and he said angrily: "That bastard dares to frame the Wang family?! No, I have to tell them clearly!"
"Uh, uh, don't worry, brother, don't worry..." Wen Cheng quickly reassured, "I think this is still an opportunity... a good opportunity, think about it, I mean, this is an opportunity! Come on!
Come, listen to me..."
Wen Cheng's voice became lower and lower.
After Wang Huai heard this, his eyes widened, "So, I still have to say thank you?"
"No need to thank you..." Wen Cheng said with a smile, "I'm doing this all for the good of my virtuous brother... I'm just doing something good, yes, a good thing..."
"Ha!" Wang Huai said nothing more and walked away without even saying goodbye.
Wen Cheng didn't stop him this time. He watched Wang Huai's figure gradually walk away, and then sneered, "Taiyuan Wang family, haha, haha, Taiyuan Wang family..."
……(?▽?)/……
In Pingyang City.
Xun Chen looked at the paint mark on the leather tube and recognized that it belonged to Wang Ling, the magistrate of Puzi County, and frowned slightly.
As the chief steward of Pingyang, Xunchen was also regarded as the "Xiangguo" of Feiqian fiefdom, so others respectfully called Xunchen the Prime Minister of Pingyang.
Looking at the leather case, Xun Chen guessed that it was probably Wang Ling who came to plead for mercy.
Wang Ling also has the surname Wang and is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. However, he is not from the same branch as Wang Yun, but he is considered to be of the same clan.
Wang Yun, in fact, didn't matter in terms of ability or strategy. He was just a more or less orthodox person in the chaotic environment at that time, so he was remembered by Emperor Liu Xie and given to Wang Yun.
The title of the descendants of the family.
In fact, it cannot be said that Wang Ying was granted the title of Marquis, which is nothing unusual. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there were five women who were granted the title of Marquis. After thousands of years of history, there was no female marquis until the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Liangyu, a famous female general in the last years, was named the Marquis of Zhongzhen.
So if it works well, the Taiyuan Wang family can take advantage of the situation and continue to shine, but...
Wang Ying was in Chang'an, and Wang Ling, with whom he had some connections, was in Puzi County. The Wang family's children who stayed in their hometown in Taiyuan had no one to watch them, so it was inevitable that the good and the bad would be mixed.
Then something happened...
Smuggling is a matter of the Wang family, not the Wang family, and it is not just the Wang family. It all depends on what Fei Qian means.
There was not much text in the letter inside the leather sleeve. After Xun Chen read it, he became silent.
Wang Ling was defending the Taiyuan Wang family. He said that those smugglers may not really be members of the Taiyuan Wang family, and that some of them were suspicious. He implored Xun Chen to interrogate and verify this again.
The smuggler was caught by people from Li Dian in Yinshan, and Li Dian had no contact with the Wang family in Taiyuan, so they interrogated him on a business-related basis. After the smugglers revealed that they were from the Wang family in Taiyuan, they also
I reported it directly and followed the standard procedure, so there was no problem.
Because the smuggler was caught by the Yinshan Beijun Village, this was already a meritorious service. As for the Wang family in Taiyuan, or the handling of the smuggler's later affairs, Li Dian did not need to participate or participate, so Li Dian did not need to participate.
Of course, there is no need to cover up anything in this process.
The forest is so big, what kind of birds are missing?
It’s not just barefoot people who take risks; those who wear shoes sometimes risk their lives for the sake of profit.
Therefore, at first, Xun Chen didn't pay attention, just thinking that it might be some unscrupulous disciples who took risks. But yesterday, several descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family suddenly came and said they were unjustly accused. Now there is a letter from Wang Ling of Puzi County,
Indicates there may be a problem...
This time, there may really be a problem.
There's a big problem.
The point of the question is not whether there is smuggling, or who is smuggling, but why is there such a big fuss all of a sudden?
Xun Chen smelled something, and then Xun Chen felt the need to inform Fei Qian first...
