A letter and a few secret codes can certainly be considered a "coincidence".
But what if?
It's like a courier boy receiving a reward of one dollar, or a toll collector at a highway intersection receiving a banknote with ink stains. Maybe it's just a false alarm when the troops are mobilized, but if you ignore it, maybe it's just a false alarm.
A life!
Maybe every fuss is just in vain, but at least the things displayed in the process will make onlookers feel comforted.
In the early years, Xun You took his wife and children out to live in Chang'an for a while, but his parents-in-law and others did not come out because they were older, so his wife later returned to Yingchuan to fulfill her filial piety to the elderly.
, his eldest son went back with his mother, so from this perspective, Xun You may not have any objection to Fei Qian.
Whether in the Han Dynasty or in the feudal dynasty of later generations, one should be filial to his parents, and his parents-in-law are also his parents. After all, when Xun You was still in power, his willingness to marry his daughter to Xun You was ultimately a matter worthy of recognition.
Fei Qian had met Xun You's child once, but he didn't have much impression of him, because most of Fei Qian's memories of the Three Kingdoms came from Mr. Luo, so Fei Qian knew almost nothing about the characters outside of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Xun You is very powerful, Fei Qian knows it, but Fei Qian doesn't know whether his son is very powerful...
Xun You asked his wife and son to return to Yingchuan before, and Fei Qian didn't interfere. After all, apart from loyalty and filial piety, most wealthy noble families generally did this. The eldest son inherited the family business in his hometown, and the second son went out to work hard.
, although Xun You's status in Guanzhong is obviously much higher than that in Shandong, after all, Yingchuan, Yuzhou is Xun You's hometown, and the rural plot is understandable.
Fei Qian was able to get rid of the constraints of the Fei family. On the one hand, it was because the Heluofei family was very small, not a big family, and the population was not large. On the other hand, Fei Qian had the habit of future generations and worshiped and worshiped the family.
The sense of belonging is not as strong as that of the native-born gentry children of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, it may not be the family. In later generations, many elderly people are not willing to immediately get used to places, such as old friends in street parks and so on. Even children may have better living conditions and material standards in big cities.
So it's understandable that Xun You's parents-in-law don't want to leave their hometown. But most things in the world are not good things. Just like the old saying, life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.
Xun You's parents-in-law think that the country is good, but Xun You's tribe may not think that Xun You is so good. Some people say they are brothers and fathers, but they may not act on it.
Apart from anything else, Xun You did not bring any direct benefits to the Xun clan at all. Under such circumstances, how high will the clan's recognition of Xun You be?
A bandit leader who commits murder and arson may be praised by everyone in his hometown because he distributes the wealth he robbed in his hometown.
An honest and upright official may be scolded by people in his hometown because as soon as he comes to power, he targets his own people first and shows no personal favoritism at all.
So who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?
Where are the standards?
Where does the butt fall?
As parents, most of us want the best for our children.
For Xun You's parents-in-law, they may feel that the few acres of land and houses in Yingchuan are the best things left for Xun You and their daughter. At least there is still a way for Xun You to be unhappy in the future.
As a way out, they can go home and farm, so as not to have no food at all. If they leave their hometown, the fields without anyone to take care of them will either be abandoned or occupied, and the houses without people will either collapse or be destroyed.
Waste...
Xun You's parents-in-law were also willing to guard this retreat for Xun You.
Xun You, who is also a father, also wants the best for his children. Although Chang'an is good, it is too prosperous, and young people are not good-hearted and may lose themselves in such prosperity. It is better to live in Chang'an.
Only by concentrating on studying in your hometown, accumulating and growing, will you have better development in the future.
After all, Xun You was in Chang'an. He left early and came back late every day. He was very busy. If someone didn't take care of it, the child would eventually become a slippery person like Wei Kang. If he was so clever, wouldn't his life be ruined?
Xun You believes that only personal ability and talent provide the confidence to speak and the real escape route.
The plan was good and the idea was correct, but now maybe for some reason, some people vented their anger on Xun You's family. Something happened, which may have made Xun You's son aware of the danger...
The Xun family has not been in peace recently.
Not everyone will look for the reasons within themselves. Many people prefer to blame others for their mistakes. It seems that as long as they express that others have done something wrong, they themselves are right.
Yes, anger will accumulate, like a flood, it will always find some way to vent it on others, no matter whether the anger is correct or biased.
After Fei Qian thought for a moment, he ordered: "Come here, I heard that Director Si Kan is coming!"
Although it is unclear what role Xun You's son played in Yingchuan, since Xun You found him and said that his son might be in danger, Fei Qian could not turn a blind eye and do nothing.
Not long after, Kan Ze came and met Fei Qian and Xun You.
"Is there any new news in Yingchuan recently?" Fei Qian asked Kan Zedao.
Normally, if there is any important information, Kan Ze will sort it out and report it. But for some things that are not very important or not too urgent, Kan Ze will summarize them and report them every three to five days.
Since Fei Qian asked, Kan Ze didn't ask any more questions. He just started thinking, "Return to my lord... Recently, I just heard that the emperor wanted to hold a celebration. This is one of them... The other thing is the matter of Kong Wenju. There is still no conclusion."
...Anything else...』
Kan Ze glanced at Xun You.
Fei Qian waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, Derun said so."
Kan Ze raised his hands and said, "Xun Wenruo is still looking for agricultural and engineering bachelors, and he is recruiting young people from poor families from Yingchuan to serve as their replacements..."
No wonder Kan Ze would take a look at Xun You, after all, it was the Xun family who was causing trouble.
However, since the last incident involving Wang Ming, Cai Yu and other bachelors of agriculture and engineering, Fei Qian has given instructions to those potential personnel not to make any big moves for the time being. If they feel dangerous, they can evacuate.
Moreover, it is normal for Xun or to continue to conduct investigations. After all, there is a precedent, and a thorough investigation is what should be done. Spies and spies can only gain higher positions and positions after being not exposed in internal investigations again and again.
More important information?
"Derun, this is a letter from Quanzi..." Although Kan Ze didn't say anything, Xun You understood Kan Ze's concerns, so he took the initiative to explain to Kan Ze, "There was a secret message in the letter..."
Kan Ze took the letter, read it, pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "It's not that I'm hiding anything... I'm sorry, there really is no news in this regard..."
Xun You was a little disappointed, but it was understandable.
After all, the Youwen Division is not omnipotent and can understand everything. As an undercover spy under the Youwen Division, they report important matters. How can they care about the fights within a family? Even if it is
If someone happened to know about it, I'm afraid they would just skip it and not waste energy and time on risking reporting such a small matter.
Kan Ze glanced at Fei Qian and said, "My lord, do you need me to send some manpower..."
Fei Qian did not immediately answer Kan Ze's words, but asked Xun You: "Gongda, what are you going to do about this matter..."
First calling him "Gongda" and then "you", Fei Qian has not been messing around in vain these past few years.
Xun You smiled bitterly and said: "I... originally thought that Wen Ruo could take care of me... I also asked my lord to lend a helping hand in the hope that my wife could escape danger..."
Xun You left the table and prostrated himself on the ground.
Fei Qian stepped forward and helped Xun You up, then patted Xun You's arm to comfort him a little.
In Fei Qian's view, Xun You's approach is actually somewhat similar to that of later generations of migrant workers who left their wives and children in their hometowns. Of course, this has certain benefits, but there are also many problems with left-behind children. It's just that there are many problems with left-behind children.
Most of the left-behind children in later generations were because their parents' financial conditions did not allow it, but Xun You's thinking was more his own thinking that may not have changed.
For a long time, Xun You had not considered what his wife and children would be like in Yingchuan, perhaps because of his longing for his hometown, his trust in Xun You, or some other reason.
I thought that under Xun Yu's care, I would live a good life.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
I’ve talked about Xun You casually, but wasn’t this also true for the three Zhuge brothers in history?
The children of aristocratic families are accustomed to diversifying their bets, but sometimes the results of diversified bets may not always be good. It may also be like the three Zhuge brothers, all of which are broken.
At the same time, the Cao family's regime in history was not smooth sailing from beginning to end. Even the children of the "martyrs" who died early in the Xiahou family had to work like ordinary people, going out of the city to collect firewood and so on...
So the Cao family and the Xiahou family are like this, so there is no need to talk about the Xun family.
Xun or also has a lot of things to do every day, how can he always take good care of these left-behind children? At most, he occasionally asks a question, and sends someone to send something during the New Year and festivals. It is overwhelming. It seems that someone wants to
Attacking Xun You's children, or using some pretense to create difficulties. Even if Xun You's son wants to find Xun or ask for help, he may not even be able to get through the gate. In addition, his parents-in-law are not members of the Xun family.
, people in the Xun clan want help, but sometimes they have some concerns.
Help the manager or not?
In fact, more often than not, they help relatives rather than take care of themselves.
Do we still need to make more choices within Xunshi and outside Xunshi?
This is the reason why the king of hell is so easy to deal with.
However, since Xun You expressed this attitude at the moment and wanted to pick up his wife and the whole family, there are two ways. One is to take the official way, which is to directly arrange a car and horse to pick him up, and the other is to go privately
Send someone down below to pick him up quietly. Both methods have their own pros and cons.
"The emperor wants to hold a celebration..." Fei Qian thought, since both methods have advantages and disadvantages, it is better to do both. "How about using this name to expressly congratulate the emperor... If we can get Gongda's wife, that is
Use the mission to protect him, if that’s not possible... just take him out privately!』
"Thank you, Lord!" Xun You thanked him.
Xun You thanked Kan Ze again, and then he withdrew first, saying that he would write a letter to Kan Ze as a token. Xun You still had a lot of things to do at the Shangshu table. Even if he was worried about his children,
It cannot be said that we just leave things alone.
Kan Ze needs to stay and finalize some details.
Xu Chu, who was guarding at the side and knew what happened before and after, his expression changed slightly, and he seemed to hesitate to speak.
"Zhongkang, what do you have to say?" Fei Qian asked after seeing Xu Chu's expression.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Chu lowered his head and handed over his hands, "This... the parents and wives of some of the tribesmen below... not all of them came with me back then..." Xu Chu led his tribe to defect to Chang'an, but at that time Xu Chu himself didn't know if he could.
Living in Chang'an for a long time, it is normal for some clan members not to bring their wives and parents with them.
Although some people would do what Liu Bei did, not everyone thinks Liu Bei's ideas are right, and abandoning his wife and children is a no-brainer...
Talking about Adou, since Liu Bei was able to give birth, but he had no heirs before Adou, it may not be impossible. In fact, when he was wandering around, the concubines around him might have been pregnant, but the real owner ran away, so in the end he had to find
He was a pick-up boy or something, so he was originally a child of the old Liu family, but in the end he became someone else's child.
Anyway, the Han people have many customs that are similar to those of the Hu people, such as the attitude towards children. Don't worry about DNA or anything, as long as it is in name only, I think some boxers in the future will be very happy...
You just need to be able to accept that you may be used and discarded at any time like the old Liu family.
Fei Qian retracted his racing thoughts and nodded slightly, "This is indeed a problem. It's not just Gongda, Zhongkang... We also have many officials from Shandong. Now or in the future, we may encounter He
Same problem as Gongda...』
"This matter should not be made public..." Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin and said, "After all, there are a lot of people... In this way, I will first make a formal announcement at the Shangshu Desk. If they are officials who are not native to the customs and are willing to
Those whose families move to the customs can receive a settling-in fee, and the specific amount will refer to their salary level..."
Fei Qian wrote a warrant and had it delivered to the Chancellor's Desk outside the Qianfu.
Problems that can be solved with money are generally not big problems. In this way, most middle- and lower-level officials can make their own choices based on their own circumstances.
After all, although the East and West are now in opposition, they have not cut off contact. If ordinary middle- and lower-level officials really want to come, they can just go with the caravan, and it is not too troublesome.
As for people like Xun You, they will be focused on, and they will be more troublesome.
"In addition, the Youwen Department has set up a special transshipment office to be responsible for contacting and arranging some transshipment channels as a means of responding to emergencies..." Fei Qian continued, "Don't follow the caravan this way..."
This requires a new approach.
Fei Qian thought.
Caravans are time-sensitive and do not leave during rainy or snowy seasons. So if there is an emergency, why can't we just wait until the next caravan arrives?
In addition, those who can follow the caravan are basically people who have no problems, or that no one cares about too much, while those who are eager to leave often have some troubles, and these troubles are with the caravan.
, it may become a problem for the caravan, or even be betrayed...
After all, businessmen weigh the pros and cons almost every day, so once a businessman discovers that his interests may have been harmed, the interests of the family and the country may not be a sufficient weight, even if the businessman is usually bullish.
How loud.
Xu Chu, who was standing aside, coughed softly, and then said: "Master... I think there is a way to do this... but it may not be appropriate..."
"What's the way? Let's talk about it." Fei Qian said.
Xu Chu pondered for a moment, and then said with some caution: "Lord, there are many rangers in Shandong... In fact, they are called rangers, but in fact most of them are idle people who usually work for money... But if these people accept
Money, most of the time, is about keeping promises...』
There are those who are trustworthy, and of course there are those who are not.
This is not only true for rangers, but also for people from other professions.
Fei Qian had previously purged the rangers in Sanfu, Guanzhong, because there were too many filthy people among the rangers. Although the rangers have a reputation of attaching importance to trust and promises, and despising life, there are also some stories of sending wives to their wives thousands of miles away...
Well, Guan Yunchang's Thousand Miles Riding Alone was actually transformed from the knight-errant culture of the Han Dynasty.
But among the rangers, most of them are idle, either extorting one person or bullying another, dominating the market, going to a newly opened shop for a penny and sitting there for a day, etc.
Therefore, for the sake of the economic development of Guanzhong, Fei Qian made great efforts to eliminate this kind of idle and profligate people from the beginning. When the sand and gravel are falling, it is natural that there is no way to carefully screen them.
"In Shandong, especially in Jiyu, the knight-errant style is quite popular." Seeing Fei Qian's expression of no disgust or objection, Xu Chu continued, "And in private, most of these people are proud of fighting against the government."
...There are many contacts among these people. Many of them are acquaintances with villagers and soldiers stationed in the county... If we were to find these people in an emergency, there must be some secret roads that can avoid the checkpoints..."
Rangers are human beings too, and they also need to eat.
The more famous you are, the more people you have to support, so there are many people who appear to be upright knights, but then engage in dirty deeds behind the scenes, and there are not a few. But in any case, this seems to be a way, completely different from the caravan.
In different ways, in order to maintain their superficial reputation, these heroes may actually go against the government as Xu Chu said.
The more the government wants to arrest him, the more he must protect him, so that more people will come here to seek refuge in his name, and then he can become more and more "heroic".
Fei Qian didn't need to care about the final outcome of these heroes. He only needed to give money and let these people safely transport some people in emergencies to Guanzhong.
But this matter requires a bridge.
Fei Qian looked at Xu Chu and suddenly understood that Xu Chu could provide this bridge...
