Chang'an.
The Mansion of the General of the Cavalry.
Fei Qian looked at the urgent report at hand and sighed slightly.
The higher he was at the high position, the more Fei Qian felt that Murphy’s three laws became more accurate.
Rule 1, nothing is not as simple as it seems.
Rule 2: Everything will take longer than expected.
Rule 3: Things that will make mistakes will always make mistakes.
Then it was summarized into Murphy's Law.
The Western Regions are terrible.
Sichuan and Shu are very bad.
Fei Qian had thought that the situation might be bad, but he did not expect that the current situation would run wildly in the worst direction together. Just like all the choices are in the two ways of becoming better and worse, he must have chosen the option of becoming worse.
In the Western Regions, Gao Shun was dead.
This was completely beyond Fei Qian's expectations.
In Sichuan and Sichuan, Gan Ning was defeated.
This is also beyond Yu Feiqian's expectations.
In the hall, silence spreads.
Pang Tong took a sneak glance at Fei Qian, then touched his chin.
"Shi Yuan, do you remember Gao Boping?" Fei Qian asked slowly, his tone still calm. As he spoke, he also looked at the sunshine shining outside the hall, the bright tiles appeared in warm colors, the birds jumped and chirped on the branches, and the vibrant scenery, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He saw life and death.
Gao Shun is not Fei Qian's friend, but his old acquaintance.
What does an old acquaintance mean to a person?
"Yeah. Remember." Pang Tong also sighed, "What a pity."
Fei Qian nodded.
This answer is very pony.
Or it also fits most people's answers.
Whether you hear, know, or know, but you don’t have close relationships. Perhaps in this world, only Gao Shun’s relatives will truly feel the pain of death, and most people just say oh, um.
Whose fault is this?
Humans like to argue right or wrong.
The Han people are no exception, especially those in Shandong, who like to argue endlessly and distinguish right from wrong.
Gao Shun's death and the chaos in the Western Regions, these Shandong people would definitely put their mistakes on Fei Qian. According to the arguments quoted by the scriptures, they were filled with indignation, indicating that all this was caused by Fei Qian, and everything was Fei Qian's fault.
Then……
It's gone.
People in Shandong just care about their own good mouths and psychological well-being, and even don’t care whether Fei Qian will admit his mistakes. As for why this problem arises, how to avoid it in the future, etc., they have no ideas or opinions. Even if there are suggestions, it is completely consistent with the practices of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Change.
Or more simply, kill.
It was like replacing Ban Yong and killing Ma Yuan.
In exchange for the chaos in the Western Regions, their countries were completely disappointed with the Han Dynasty.
The battle came to Jiaozhi, Nanyue, and the territory that he had finally captured was not yet fully educated for more than a hundred years...
At this time, the people from Shandong shut up and pretended that they knew nothing and nothing happened. Then they would jump out again after a while, just like this chapter has passed, and the next chapter is a brand new world. They continued to repeat the previous comments, expressing their contempt for everything and demonstrating their elegance.
Take the current Western Regions as an example. If people from Shandong find a way, they will probably say that it is so troublesome. Instead of spending time on Lu Bu, it is better to do whatever it takes, or say that the Western Regions have value, the Central Plains is the hard truth, etc. If you ask about specific measures again, you will be whispered, change it if you don’t work, and kill it if you don’t work.
Can killing really solve the problem?
No, order can completely solve the problem.
The contradictions arising from the old order need a new order to solve these newly arising problems and determine a new direction.
Looking for examples of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the old paper piles all day long, and finding the support for the law in the Four Books and Five Classics is the most popular method for people from Shandong in the Han Dynasty. Although they also know that something may be wrong,...
What if they don't care.
Fei Qian feels that these examples and reliances can be used as references, but they must not be copied and used simply.
Understanding, reading thoroughly, and reading thoroughly is the real attitude towards these history.
The Han Dynasty has been developing the Western Regions for three hundred years, with ups and downs and policies swaying left and right. Perhaps it can indeed be like people from Shandong, sneering at it with disdain, indicating that it is just a matter of a slut and interests, but what should we do after sneering?
One hundred or two hundred years ago, during the Western Han Dynasty, I encountered this problem for the first time, and there was no way. Then, a hundred years later, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, I still had my hands spread out. There was no way?
So a hundred years later, thousands of years later, every time I encounter such a problem, will there always be people from Shandong similar to the current Han Dynasty jump out and sneer at it, but just some ah-dog thing?
"Your Majesty, don't compete with the people for profit!"
"It is better to give up if you take it without any help!"
"Your Majesty, how can you be affected by these stinking things as the lord of the people?"
"It is a waste of money and money, and no further discussion on opening the sea!"
So Huaxia stopped her feet and began to focus on her butt.
Draw the ground into a prison.
"There are desperate situations around you, and you can't get out! It's better to stay here honestly."
『Who said it?』
"That's what our ancestors said!"
"Who are the ancestors?"
This statement and this kind of rhetoric have been looked up from generation to generation, and you will eventually find that the source is these Shandong people from the Han Dynasty.
The spirit of Yanhuang who wins and eats it, and tolerates and digests it into a part of himself is gone. I started talking about those who are Guanzhong people, those who are martial artists, and those who are border people...
The pre-Qin spirit of fighting to the ends of the world and unifying the countries is not enough, and we still have to continue to explore the outside world. The mountains are too high, the sea is too vast, the sun is too sunny, and the ground is too slippery when it rains...
After the Han Dynasty, even if they opened the Western Regions again, not many people wanted to go to the Western Regions.
Tang Sanzang begged for years and year after year, in the vast Chang'an City, there was no one who was willing to go with him. He could only go alone. As a result, he not only went there, but also came back. He really slapped many people in the face.
what to do?
Compile myth.
Such an awesome person is not a human being at all, but a god!
So a group of children who think they are mortals can laugh and continue to say, "It's a human that will definitely not be able to get out of it. There are desperate situations around China! That's what our ancestors said!"
One person says this, a group of people say this, day after day, year after year, the courage to pioneer is finally exhausted from the "impossibility" and "ancestors" that arise one after another...
"Gao Boping... do you have relatives?" Fei Qian asked. He remembered that there seemed to be no, but Fei Qian hoped that there would be at this moment.
Pang Tong frowned and thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it... Gao Boping has never mentioned it..." When he said this, Pang Tong suddenly felt that Gao Shun was really a soldier compared with other generals, and then he shook his head with even more regrets and sighed.
Gao Shun had no wife or concubine. Perhaps he had some ways to solve his physiological needs, but his main energy was on military affairs. Whether in Chang'an or Yumen Pass, he seemed to have nothing else in his heart except military affairs. It was as pure as a piece of transparent ice, which quietly melted in the sun, leaving no traces left.
Not all goodness will definitely lead to a good ending.
"Check it out, if there are children or children who have children..., please place them properly..." Fei Qian said, "If there is no one... it is to choose a child in the Sales Department, inherit Gao Boping's incense as his legacy!"
Pang Tong said: "Similar to the old story of Korean contract?"
Fei Qian nodded.
Although the specific situation of Han Sui and Gao Shun is different, after Han Sui cut off his offspring, he also selected one of the orphans as Han Sui's heir, that is, Han Guo.
Fei Qian looked at the distant sky and gently tapped the table. "This matter is to be extended as a law... If there is no heir at home, the Sales Department will choose the best according to the order."
"With." Pang Tong nodded and responded. He did not express his wisdom or kindness for this, but just a simple response, because this matter itself is not something worth boasting about. On the contrary, it was just a sad and helpless countermeasure.
To be continued...
