There is nothing to describe along the way from Yuzhou to Heluo.
After the initial thrill, there were no big problems on the road afterwards. Many of the officials responsible for checking customs clearance seemed to be more or less absent-minded, as if they were waiting for another one above their heads.
When do the boots come off.
After leaving Yuzhou and Yanzhou and entering the Heluo area, basically there was no big risk. In the Heluo area, the Yang family's power was actually pitifully weak. Neither Fei Qian nor Cao Cao touched Yang.
Actually, it's not that Yang is very capable, but that he doesn't need it at all.
Of course, people who are not important will not pay special attention to them.
Thinking about how famous the Yang family was back then, but now they have become a little person who can only stand tremblingly between Fei Qian and Cao Cao...
This is how things change.
In the seventh year of Taixing, Xu Laoliu and his party arrived in Luoyang first before the first winter snow came.
Although Luoyang is now more like a transit station and has lost its original dignity as a Kyoto, Xu Laoliu still used the excuse that he was tired from the journey and said he needed to adjust and rest. In fact, he took Kong Rong's two
Children, take a walk around Luoyang.
Xu Laoliu is indeed a businessman, but he was also a ranger before, so Xu Laoliu knows when to take out a knife and when to take out money. Although Xu Laoliu does not read many books, he is more sophisticated than those nobles.
You need to know more. If others may think that Kong Rong's family is unlucky, it is not worth doing something for Kong Rong's two children. But for Xu Laoliu, the investment in this kind of thing is not big, but after a good sale, maybe
If you can do a free favor in the future, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake?
For the two children, one older and one younger, everything seems to be new after entering the Heluo area.
Yanzhou and Yuzhou are actually very similar, but after entering the Heluo area, everything is a little different.
The two children discovered a very interesting phenomenon near Luoyang, that is, there were more and more barbarians on the road, and even the Han people often rode horses and carried bows, and it was even more common to carry guns and knives.
"Aren't you afraid that people with swords and guns will gather together to cause trouble?" the eldest child said doubtfully.
In Shandong, these weapons generally do not appear on ordinary people.
On the one hand, it is easier to manage the people without weapons. On the other hand, these weapons also require money. If the average Guizhou family has some money, it is not all spent on food. How can there be any spare money?
To purchase weapons?
Xu Laoliu chuckled and said: "This northern part of Guanzhong is different from Shandong... Since the early Han Dynasty, in Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Xihe and other places, many good family members have the custom of practicing war preparation and building up their strength."
, are often selected as Yulin and Qimen, and are officials based on talent and strength. There is a saying that Shandong will produce prime ministers and Shanxi will produce generals, so there are many famous generals..."
Xu Laoliu also laughed and talked about some famous generals who came from the north before the Han Dynasty, but he only talked about a small part. In the Han Dynasty, Shanxi's good families were full of stars, and there were countless middle-level officers.
The younger children asked: "Then the General of the Cavalry is also from Kansai, and is he also a brave general?"
Xu Laoliu snorted, and then said: "I don't know about that..."
In fact, in the markets of Shandong, you can also hear storytellers telling some stories about these famous generals in the early years of the Han Dynasty, such as Wei Qiaoqi and so on, and they often get a lot of cheers. But after the cheers,
Everyone went to do their own things.
Until this moment, the two children seemed to gradually feel something different about Qiusi...
Today's Luoyang is a very interesting place, with both destroyed things and rebuilt things.
At the site of the collapsed palace, two children stood silently.
Perhaps the two children did not fully understand what the decline of a dynasty meant, but these collapsed palaces showed the weakness and incompetence of the great man in front of them...
It cannot be said that the Yang family did not work hard in Luoyang.
The Yang family is working hard whether it is on people's livelihood, government affairs, or military soldiers...
It's just a pity that Yang's efforts are like the ruins of the imperial palace. Although it has value, it's hard to say where the value is. But even if it has no value, it still has some value.
Yang Biao and Yang Xiu are neither from Shanxi nor Shandong. Yang wanted to take the middleman route from the beginning, but the middle route was not easy to follow. It was like oil and water, Luoyang and Yang
, like the line between oil and water.
Some things can be integrated, but there are also some things that cannot be compromised.
If it is clear that the two sides are completely irreconcilable, then continuing to walk the middle line will be wrong no matter what you do...
If in the Heluo area, the two children began to see that the martial arts of the Han Dynasty still existed, then after entering Chang'an Sanfu, they saw the wealth and prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
On the loess plateau in Sanfu, Chang'an, fields are connected one after another, like dense scales on a giant dragon.
These lands are intersected and connected by water conservancy facilities such as Chengguo Canal and Lingzhen Canal. The field boundaries are as dense as the patterns on silk fabrics, and the ravines are like patterns carved on the earth.
Now that the autumn harvest has ended, the farmers in the fields are still working hard. Ships are constantly plying the Wei River, collecting the grain harvested from various counties into granaries.
Different from the people in Luoyang, the people in Sanfu, Chang'an are obviously more confident, more comfortable, and have more smiles on their faces...
All this gave the two children more intuitive feelings.
The caravan moved forward slowly, and the children sitting in the car were a little dizzy.
Suddenly, a group of heavily armored cavalry came under the banner of hussar...
……(の··)(··)……
Just when the children arrived in Chang'an and the journey was coming to an end, Kong Rong's life also came to an end.
In the Xu County court, as long as you have a little experience, you will know that big things are discussed in the prime minister's palace, while small things are discussed below the emperor's rank.
Logically speaking, the prime minister is the head of the officials. When there are important matters in the court, the prime minister's office will naturally organize generals, ministers, doctors, doctors, and councilors to gather for discussion. However, the prime minister has the final say on everything, so he will naturally let Those who wanted to promote the emperor's authority felt uncomfortable.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were fifty armored soldiers holding halberds guarding the gate, changing shifts every hour.
In the Prime Minister's Palace, a "four gates" structure is adopted. In fact, the layout is very similar to the layout of the palace hall. The inside and outside are divided into three areas by the palace gate, the middle door, and the associated wall. The palace gate has a gate. The official office where the waiting people were allowed to rest was already full of people, close to a hundred people. It was three times more lively than the court meeting in the main hall.
The Prime Minister, Shi Wangbi, stood on the side of the middle gate, saying nothing, looking at the officials around him, with a hint of scrutiny and sarcasm in his expression.
Wang Bi was not from a high family, so he and Yingchuan, the self-proclaimed noble family, and the so-called aristocratic children have not always been in harmony. Of course, this is not Wang Bi's problem alone, because in fact, apart from Wang Bi, Cao Cao There are also many people from poor families below, and these people almost support most of Cao Cao's prime minister structure.
On the other side is Xun Yu.
Xun Lingjun was still personable and courteous. No matter who greeted him or gave him a courtesy, Xun Yu would return the courtesy, regardless of his official position or his closeness.
Inside the middle gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Xiangshe, which has a main hall, a courtyard, a back garden and residences for various officials. Today's meeting was naturally held in the main hall.
Not long after, the cloud board rang, and everyone entered the main hall under the guidance of the ceremony officer.
The civil servants headed by Wang Bi and Xun Yu occupied the front row. They were on the left and right with the generals of the Cao and Xiahou families. The civil servants were relatively quiet, while the generals were talking loudly and chattering about something. , after being reminded several times by the etiquette officer, he lowered his voice a little.
As for the middle and lower-level officials, most of them have tall hats and wide sleeves and sit at the back of the hall. Most of these people hold the positions of waiter, lieutenant, and doctor. Because there are too many people, they can't even sit in one row. There was no special table, just a few people gathered together on a mat. They rarely spoke during the meeting and basically just watched the excitement.
A moment later, with the sound of a bell, Cao Pi, wearing a red and black official robe, walked to the side of the Prime Minister's throne. He first bowed his hands to Xun Yu and other major officials, and then took out an edict from the Prime Minister from his sleeve.
Cao Cao was still on his way back. As his heir, Cao Pi attended such a meeting on Cao Cao's behalf. Although there were some etiquette flaws, the problem was not big.
perhaps.
"According to the order of the Prime Minister, the former Prime Minister of Beihai, Kong, lost his land and abandoned the people before him. In vain, he was loyal and filial to the latter. He is also suspected of colluding with the traitors, plotting to disrupt the government, and bewitching the emperor. Now there is a jail, and the censors are jointly tried. His crime is clear. I am responsible for the ministers, officials, doctors, and counselors of the Prime Minister's Office, to examine the past and present, clarify and rectify their crimes, and then make them public and spread them throughout the world to clarify the laws and regulations and correct the principles of the dynasty. Today, all your ministers can speak freely!"
This model is actually a bit like the emperor asking ministers to discuss matters.
Sometimes the emperor would not attend such discussions in person, but would ask someone to preside over the affairs on his behalf, and then report the results in writing. If the emperor approved, he would write three words on the written report, "Zhi Yue"
But", or even omit and write "may", it is considered finished. If the emperor does not agree with the outcome of the political discussion, he will send it back and let it be discussed again. At that time, the ministers will adjust their interests based on the emperor's opinions.
Distribution, adapting to the situation, etc.
If the emperor is strong, then most of the ministers will naturally be in the favor of Acheng.
Of course, there will also be some diehards who will stick to their guns and fight to the end.
Nowadays, the emperor has no power, and the real power is in the hands of Cao Cao, so the current political discussions are similar to the emperor's model, and everyone has become accustomed to it. As for those who are not used to it, they will not stay long anyway.
The Kong Rong matter has been postponed until now and seems to be the final decision. It seems that there is no need?
Otherwise, every meeting is a good opportunity to see clearly the opinions and tendencies of the ministers. Cao Cao deliberately did not appear in order to give these people a feeling that they still have the opportunity to "speak freely", so as to observe their positions and
tendency.
Cao Pi sat on the upper side, glanced at the empty prime minister's table, and then glanced at the people under the seats, with a smile on his lips. Cao Pi felt that everything was under control...
Everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Xi Lu.
Xi Liu felt that his scalp was numb, as if there were countless bugs burrowing around his head, as if they would tear open his scalp and eat his brain the next moment.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xi Lu seemed to be pushed out by someone's gaze. He moved his legs and feet out, but his upper body was resisting. It seemed that his whole body felt a little awkward.
Feelings are feelings, work still has to be done.
"I...I would like to punish Kong's Rong Wenju!"
Xi Lu felt that his throat was dry and tight, as if the voice that came out was not his own at all, but something else was speaking. But after the beginning of the words, it seemed to smooth out and it was no longer so painful.
.
"There is an emperor who is generous and benevolent to the world, and there is a prime minister who leads by example and flaunts it. However, the Kong family is ignorant of repentance and is treacherous and cunning, causing harm to the place. I ask you to punish the thieves in order to clear the government!"
"When I was in my last years, I was in the countryside. I also knew that loyalty and filial piety are the basic principles of the Han Dynasty. As an official, you should be unremitting in your heart and respect, and you must do your best to be able to remain in your position. As the saying goes, the king entrusts his ministers with courtesy.
Serve the king with loyalty. However, Confucius integrated literature and scholarship, and his virtues without words can be passed down to the world, while Wu Wujing's merits can bring peace. The book says that harming the public with private interests is not loyal. It is also said that if you know the interests of the public and do everything you know, then you are loyal.
.Therefore, Confucius was disloyal to the king at the top and to the people at the bottom. This was his crime."
"Filial piety means elders at the top and sons at the bottom. Filial piety to the husband is the foundation of virtue. Inheriting parents and obeying their wishes can be called filial piety. Confucius said, "filial piety to the younger brother" is the foundation of human beings, and filial piety is the first of all virtues. The Classic of Filial Piety is also
It is said that in the nature of heaven and earth, human beings are precious, and there is nothing more important than great filial piety. Loyalty and filial piety are one and the same. Loyalty and filial piety are the only way to make a name and honor relatives. This is the way to finally establish oneself. However, Confucius integrated literary examinations and spoke out
Talking nonsense, talking about lust, disregarding the foundation of filial piety, and abandoning the relatives of others, how can a lamb know the kindness of relatives, how much worse can it be to others? This is the second sin."
"I have been greatly favored by the emperor and hold the post of imperial censor. I am deeply cautious and walk on thin ice. If everything is beneficial to the country, I can look forward to repaying him in case of death. Even if I die, I will not care about it. Day and night, I will fear and think about sacrificing my life to repay it."
"Tao, Kuang Chen's duty is to supervise the local area and eliminate thieves and beetles. Anyone who is harmful to the country is called a thief and must be eliminated."
"I believe that Confucius, who was engaged in literary studies, stole power and authority, harmed the country and the people, was unfaithful and unfilial, and disturbed people's hearts. He can be called the greatest thief in the world!"
"Thieves and thieves on the sidelines, bandits and the like, are the cause of scabies. Those who are thieves and thieves are internal bandits in the door and courtyard, and they are a source of harm to those close to them. There are internal and external thieves, so it is advisable to attack them in sequence. If there are no internal thieves, they can be eliminated.
The thief, I ask you to punish the thief Rong, first of all the foreign invaders..."
Xi Luyue said, his momentum gradually increased, and his expression became excited, as if he had entered an excitement period, and he even began to feel that this was the original fact. Everything he said represented the truth, represented the big man, and represented
All the people in the world are speaking.
Just as Xi Lu finished speaking, Lu Cui on the side also expressed his position hurriedly, "If you are a minister, you will be heard. If you are good, you will be called the emperor, and if you do wrong, you will be rewarded. People and ministers are loyal to the emperor." The book said, "You have Jiamo Jiayou."
, then you will report it inside, and you will obey it outside. The people and ministers will return their good deeds to the king, so that the world will praise the king's virtues, and dare not show their own abilities to compete with the king for merit. This is a thief.
If there is harmony, it will be contrary to it. Whenever there is a good thing about the administration of Shang En, he will talk about its shortcomings, find faults, and make false accusations, lest the people in the world know that Shang En is true! If a minister is loyal and filial to others, will this be the result?"
"In the past, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, and bandits invaded the country and penetrated into the countryside. The people were miserable. At that time, the bandits were integrated into Beihai. As the leaders of the counties and counties, the military schools of the counties and counties asked about their plans. It should have been to lead the war to extend the power of the court.
Wei can be used to relieve the worries of the people. However, it is said that if you don't fight, the thieves can retreat on their own. If you don't move your troops, let the thieves grab what they have and then retreat. Therefore, the order is not to fight, which will cause the ruins of Beihai and the people to be displaced, which will eventually lead to disaster.
The disaster is irreparable. Up to now, ten houses and nine empty houses in Beihai are all the fault of the thief Rong."
"How can a lady and minister be flattered to deceive those above, or corrupt to lead those below? When thieves are in power in Beihai, bribery and diligent people will be recommended even though they are as greedy as thieves, and those who are lazy and clumsy will be honest and honest.
The barbarians were also deposed. When the Yellow Turban bandits were in chaos, there were no available people or soldiers to fight! Now that the captured thief Rong Rong is in prison, the superior is kind and kind to hope that he will repent. However, the Rong Rong is stubborn and arrogant.
He refuses to admit his guilt, and makes paradoxes that are unpalatable to his ears. He makes lies to confuse the people. This is a heinous crime! He should be punished."
With Xi Lu and Lu Cui at the beginning, it seemed that the originally tense atmosphere had become fluid. For a while, people started to speak out, basically saying that Kong Rong was guilty and should be executed.
"These unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people have lived in vain for many years, and you and I are both responsible!"
"Anyone can punish those who are unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind!"
"Beheading the Kong family now will correct the customs! It will guide the Ming Dynasty!"
"The crime of thief should be reported to the world! Use it as a warning to others!"
The rest of the people were silent. For example, Wang Bi, he just looked and did not speak. Because he basically belonged to the pro-Cao faction, even if he did not say anything about Kong Rong's crimes, he would not be considered Kong Rong.
Integrate the party.
Others, like Xun Yu, also watch their noses and mouths with their eyes, and it seems that the wind cannot move and nothing will surprise them.
After a period of commotion, it gradually calmed down.
Cao Pi nodded slowly, "Since everyone has said this, I will follow the rules and regulations."
Did you hear that? This is "public opinion"!
The "public opinion" of high officials above the imperial court, heirlooms of Confucian classics, and others!
Kong Rong was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, no good at all, had sores on his head, etc., so...
In the winter of the seventh year of Taixing, Kong Rong, the former prime minister of Beihai, Taizhong, was abandoned in the city.
During Kong Rong's lifetime, there were countless people who claimed to be friends of Kong Rong and described how they were close friends with him.
After Kong Rong died, only Jingzhao Renzhi Xi Yuansheng was friendly with Rong. When Rong was killed, no one dared to accept the promise. He was the only one who went to caress the corpse and cried.
