Chapter 2948: Whether a gentleman dies or not, whether kings and grandsons return
Untouchable.
Tricky people.
mob.
Mob riots around Xu County?!
Anyway, the rulers of the ancient feudal dynasties did not use any good words when addressing the people. Even occasionally when they had nothing to do, they would claim to represent what the elders in their hometown were saying, but they often used the names of the elders in their hometown.
They want to reap benefits for themselves, and when they turn to face the people and start to show off their authority, they will immediately forget what they said before and the oaths they swore, shaking their faces and bumping their stomachs to show that they represent
The imperial court represents the government, but I won't mention that they said before that they represent the people.
Because the rulers of these feudal dynasties also knew very well that they indeed could not and would not represent the people.
The interests and pursuits are completely different, and they are not from the same group at all.
After Cao Cao led his army to leave Xu County, was the largest military officer around Xu County the city gate commander of Xu County, or the captain of Xu County? In fact, no, when Cao Cao was not in Xu County, Ren Juncai
He is the highest military commander around Xu County, although on the surface he is just a small military commander.
Because the autumn harvest was over and there were no important matters in the surrounding fields, Ren Jun was naturally in Xu County. After hearing the news that there was a mob riot outside the city, he immediately rushed to the city wall of Xu County.
superior.
Although Ren Jun is said to be a lieutenant general, he is more inclined to be a civil servant. Perhaps because of the sudden incident, Ren Jun seemed to be just wearing a loose outer robe, standing behind the battlements, frowning at the fire burning in the distance
.
"What happened?" Ren Jun frowned and asked, "Who is making the noise over there?"
Since General Hussars invaded Xu County, basically no major wars have occurred in Xu County. Are the people making riots? That's not to say there aren't any, but like now, they don't make trouble inside the city, but start rioting outside the city first.
Yes, it’s really the first time.
Before Ren Jun went up to the city wall, he ordered his followers to go to all the gates in Xu County. Without his order, no one was allowed to open the city gates.
As long as there is no chaos inside the city and the lives of the emperor and officials are not affected, then there is no big problem. As for outside the city...
Love it.
But you still have to ask.
Just like the newly appointed officials in the feudal dynasty, according to the emperor's requirements, when they take office, they always go to the countryside to inspect. They will summon the three elders and ask if there are any problems in life and production. If any of the three elders don't open their eyes, really tell me
If there was any problem, I would just smile and nod, and at most I would say something about going back to solve it, but when I got back, it would be nothing more than a solution.
So many officials who were appointed before have not solved the problem, so the newly appointed officials can immediately solve these sesame seeds and rotten millet?
If the problem is not solved, the object of the joke will be the blind old man. If it is solved, the object of the joke will be the newly appointed officials.
Therefore, asking questions without making a decision is basically the specialty of feudal officials.
If you don't ask, you don't care about the suffering of the people. If you don't ask, no one can wear this hat. If you ask but can't solve it, then it's not a matter of attitude, but the specific situation is too complicated and needs time to deal with. As for timeliness, it's better to wait.
For ten, twenty, thirty years, if the person involved has been dragged to death, won’t this problem disappear?
"It is said that the general of the Qi Zhonglang is... is..." The city gate commander on the side looked a little embarrassed to say it.
Ren Jun glanced at the city gate order and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Wei!" The city gate commander seemed to be worried, but his voice still dropped half way through, "I heard that C...that young master went outside the city...he snatched a young lady outside the city, and that happened to be
The young lady’s husband is the head laborer who works on canal construction..."
Due to problems with building materials in the Han Dynasty, most water channels were made of earth and stone structures. After a year of use, stones and slabs often fell off in places, or silt accumulated. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, some labor was organized.
Repair, and the canal is also related to the water supply of the laborers themselves, so most of the time there is no problem.
"Hey! That's outrageous!" Ren Jun slapped the battlements and looked very angry, "Why can't you wait a few more days? What a pervert!"
In a few days, these laborers will all finish their work and go back to their homes.
As soon as the labor queue dispersed...
As for robbing civilian girls, doesn’t it count as robbing if you give them some money?
It doesn't matter whether it's given beforehand or afterward.
What a big deal.
Money is enough to satisfy your needs, eh, right? Is there anything these days that money can't solve?
If you can't solve it even if you really need money, then it's a big problem.
Ren Jun didn't doubt whether it was the son of the Cao family or the Xiahou family who did it. After all, not only the second generation eyes, but also the older ones and even the third generation eyes were beginning to grow hair. It was the age when they were looking for excitement...
Even before, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun cleaned up some members of the clan near Qiao County, but that was in Qiao County, not in Xu County. It was like arresting some gangster organizations in Hokkaido, and then a certain group in Tokyo thought that
Is the sky falling?
The city gate commander glanced at Ren Jun, then at the fire outside the city, and remained silent.
In fact, Ren Jun still has a bit of a headache. It would be fine if it were normal times. Nowadays, there is a lot of disputes around Xu County. He saw that a storm was coming, but at this time, something like this happened...
"Come here!" Ren Jun said in a deep voice, "If you pass the order, not only will there be a curfew tonight, but the four doors will continue to be closed during the day tomorrow! No one is allowed to open the door without permission! If any robbers try to seize the door, they will be killed without mercy!"
As long as they guard the city gate, is it possible that these mobs can still cause chaos?
When he got tired of all the trouble, he naturally retreated, and it wouldn't be too late to come back to arrest the leaders. The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to cause chaos.
Anyway, the officials in the city have knives in their hands, money in their waists, and food in their bags. The mob has no swords, guns, and money and food. What can they use to fight against the government? Do they use heavenly spirits to cover it?
It doesn't take a single soldier to kill these mobs!
Ren Jun sneered.
…)…
In Huang Wan Mansion.
Although it is said to be a mansion, it is actually not too big. Because there are many bigger and more prosperous houses on this street than his.
The courtyard was deserted. There should have been some servants there, but now there were just a few people. In the courtyard rooms, there were no lights, only the faint glow of metal in the corridors and stone slabs.
flash.
Huang Wan stood in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back and his back hunched over.
His back was originally straight, at least when he was young, but now it is bent and hunched. It seems as if an increasingly heavy burden has been placed on his shoulders, not only taking away his youth,
And it imposed an increasingly heavy burden on him.
Grandpa Huang Wan was a Sangong in his generation, and he is also a Sangong now. However, the Sangong at that time and the Sangong now have two completely different value systems. Just like the same one hundred yuan, in the early years, he could support four grandfathers.
It’s not shabby, but now it’s a red light to raise one.
As an old man, he once again ascended to the court. Didn't he want to burn his last remaining candle and light up a road? But he found that even if he tried hard to burn, it would be of no use.
Is the road he illuminates really the best direction for the man?
Even now, even if he wants to burn himself for lighting, others are unwilling and think he is nosy!
Huang Wan sighed.
He looked around again.
This is Xu County. Perhaps if the emperor hadn't been here, he would never have come here in his life.
So is it because the emperor has benefited Xu County, or is it because Xu County has carried the emperor?
Xu County is not a very good capital city.
There are really no dangerous places around Xuchang, and Funiu Mountain and the like are not enough to serve as a barrier to Xuchang. The reason why Cao Cao chose Xuchang back then was because there were relatively many acres of land around Xuchang, which could be used to support him.
Just a hundred officials.
The most important thing is that it is close to Heluo. If we walk too far, one is afraid of walking into the mouths of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or Tao Qian, and the other is worried that the food and grass will not be enough, and too many people will starve to death on the way.
…
But as the imperial court came to stay, the number of officials began to increase, and the population around Xu County increased. The resulting population pressure gradually forced Xu County to ask for more farmland in the surrounding areas.
, more handicrafts, more used to serve the lower class people of the government.
Without these untouchables in the eyes of the officials and gentry, how would the children of the officials and gentry, who don't even know how to handle a dung bucket, live?
The population increases, but officials may not be willing to work more. So obviously, the officials who originally managed a hundred people now have to manage five hundred people. Can the number of affairs be the same? However, Xu County officials will increase the number of affairs and speed up the affairs.
Throughput? Don’t even think about it.
So can increasing the number of officials solve this problem?
hehe.
Coward Song has something to say.
It turns out that no one cares about or does the things that no one does, no matter how many officials are added, there is still no one to care about or do. Few people who can become officials are fools. They all know that no one cared about things before, or they didn't do it.
If there are benefits or troubles, will the new officials be willing to do things that have no benefits or troubles?
Some fools still think that Shandong is good because there are not as many things in Guanzhong as there are in Shandong. They praise Cao Cao for his good governance, and then laugh at the three assistants of Guanzhong. Look at the hussar Fei Qian. He is really incompetent. After struggling for so long, he still has nothing to do.
What does it mean? Either there is something happening here or there is something happening over there. Look at Shandong, how nice and peaceful it is, and nothing is happening! This is what we call capable officials and a peaceful and prosperous age!
In fact, is Shandong really peaceful?
Everything was covered up in the countryside, kept within the clan, and hidden in the files piled under the desks of officials.
If you don't do anything, nothing will happen naturally.
If you don't solve the problem, there will be no problem.
Xu County is peaceful on the surface.
And now Huang Wan is about to break this false peace!
Huang Wan wanted to tear off this rotten fig leaf and reveal the sour and smelly thing!
He is willing to use his own mansion, his own money, and his own life to uncover this false fig leaf and fulfill the emperor's expectations for him!
As long as you successfully agitate the people in the city, and then discover the missing money, they will immediately rob and cause a fire, and then spread to more official residences, isn't it a normal development process?
When the time comes, look at these officials who say all day long that under Cao Cao's rule, the world is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Xu County is safe and peaceful, what are they talking about!
Just when Huang Wan clenched his fists and his body was trembling slightly, a voice sounded.
"Master, Mr. Jiang is here...do you want him to come in?"
Huang Wan was stunned for a moment and pondered for a long time, "Since you're here... please come."
The sound of footsteps was soft and close.
"Your Majesty, this method is inappropriate... Even if this mob can get close to the city, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything..." In the shadow of the courtyard, a person said softly, "Now the Commander-in-Chief of Tuntian is giving orders to the four generals.
The door is closed, just these defenseless people..."
Huang Wan was startled. After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Why haven't you left yet, sir?"
Officials who don't do anything can usually make a living, while officials who do things often offend people. The more important things they do, the more people they offend, and in the end they may not even have anything to eat.
Huang Wan wanted to do such a thing, of course, he had to be prepared to skip meals. He quietly dismissed several Qingqing guests at home, just saying that he was old and prepared to follow Cao Cao's resignation and become an official, so he could no longer support them.
, let them leave.
Menke, or Qingke, are actually similar. They flourished during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then declined during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Of course, this decline only means that the law does not recognize the relationship between diners and masters, and does not allow large-scale diners. However, since ancient times in China, the law is the law, and the people are the people. Just like private loans, too high
Interest is obviously not recognized by the law, but has private loan sharking disappeared? Similarly, even in later generations, "clients" will still exist, just like senior consultants raised by the boss of a company, which may be equivalent to
Among the hangers-on, there are also "talkers", "talkers", "walkers", "writers", etc...
Huang Wan is not a military commander, so he cannot have any troops, but he can still have some personal servants and retainers, and these retainers and retainers can also be used at critical moments.
It's like the present moment.
There are actually Huang Wan's servants, or confidants, both outside and inside the city. Relatively speaking, the retainers do not guarantee much loyalty, so Huang Wan did not let these retainers participate too much, but politely sent these retainers away.
He left, but what surprised Huang Wan was that this guest did not just leave, but came back again...
The person in the dark shadow took a step forward and revealed his face.
This man is slightly thin, and his three strands of beard are neither long nor short. There is a shrewd look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, although you are not talented, you still know your loyalty! Now your Majesty wants to carry out the strategy of knocking the devil."
, I deeply admire you for redressing the grievances of the people... However, in this way, your Majesty seems to be a little lighthearted towards yourself..."
"Since Mr. Jiang knows this," Huang Wan laughed, "why not use my head to find a future?"
Jiang Qian had an upright look on his face, "Why do you need to make fun of me with such words? Although Qian is dull, he still knows his loyalty. Now the treacherous ministers in the court are in power. The emperor wants to control the world, but he is blocked by the treacherous ministers. Your Majesty's implementation of this strategy is a blessing."
It is the correct method to give power to the Emperor and return power to His Majesty. But it is too dangerous... Could it be... Your Majesty must not do this! Your Majesty... not to mention the current situation, I should cherish my usefulness.
How can we talk about life and death lightly?"
Huang Wan smiled a little more, "In this case, sir, what do you think of this strategy?"
Jiang Gan looked back and saw some items scattered in the corridors and courtyards. There were even some coins thrown directly into the corridor. "If someone's expectation is correct... the king in this city should also do the same."
Some people either voice their grievances or make noises, and then...these possessions are like oil on the fire..."
"If there is chaos in the city, the emperor will naturally punish the officials who guard the city in Xu County..." Jiang Gan said, "Even if they are not killed outside the Meridian Gate, they can still seize the opportunity to seize the post of city guard... Prime Minister Cao resigned, and the emperor
Surely, it is necessary to express gratitude in court according to the etiquette... Therefore, if the emperor can take this opportunity to rectify the palace and coordinate the soldiers... there is no doubt that big things will happen! It's just Dong Zhongying's old story!"
lCao Cao is not in the city, and he has no time to rush back like last time. As long as there is chaos, the emperor will have the right reasons to punish the officials around Xu County. Unfortunately, the person in charge of Xu County is
Most of the surrounding officials are members of the Cao family.
Unless these officials of the Cao family want to fall out with Liu Xie...
But even if they wanted to fall out, Cao Cao would no longer be present, so most of these people would not dance too fiercely. They must have felt that they had to bear their anger for a while and wait until Cao Cao came back.
But really waiting for Cao Cao to come back...
Cao Cao's resignation was originally intended to retreat in order to advance, but by that time, it really became impossible to retreat without advancing...
During the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there were not many generals with overwhelming power, but even fewer died well. Even if they survived to the end, their descendants would often be liquidated. Not to mention the recent generals He Jin and Grand Master Dong Zhuo.
, and even performed a performance, no matter whether there are imperial troops or border troops in hand, death is death, and there is no trace of lake.
So what's so strange about adding a Han prime minister?
Huang Wan laughed loudly, then raised his hands to Jiang Qian and said, "Zi Yi is a great talent, why should he accompany me on this road of nine springs? Mr. Sir is so loyal to the Han Dynasty, the emperor will definitely reuse him in the future! Go quickly, go quickly!"
Jiang Qian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can not only ensure your loyalty, but also prevent you from dying in vain... I know that your loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, but Shandong is not the only place that has troubles in the world! Your Majesty died in
Now, not to mention what will happen next, what if Chang'an follows the example of Liang Ji? By then, your Majesty will already be in a state of ruin, and even if you have the intention, you will be unable to recover!"
"This..." Huang Wan couldn't answer for a moment.
If you have a lower sense of responsibility, you will say that you can't finish things. I am already old, how can I not enjoy it for a few days? I will leave these worries to the next generation to consider and do. Anyway, one generation can only
It is the work of a generation. But the problem is that if Huang Wan had no sense of responsibility, he would not have followed Wang Yun to fight Dong Zhuo before, and now he would not risk his life to fight again...
"Your Majesty, it is better to follow the plan of the Golden Cicada..." Jiang Gan said in a low voice, "I had to make friends with someone before, and he was the South Gate City Gate Commander... This person is also loyal and loyal. He often secretly laments that he is angry and domineering towards the general and has killed the emperor.
The teacher is a disaster for the Han Dynasty... If your Majesty can trust me, you might as well fake your death to escape, go out through the south gate, go to Wancheng, go through Wuguan, and enter Chang'an! If the emperor needs it in the future, your Majesty will be able to respond! Die in
This is just a temporary act of loyalty. If your Majesty can enter Chang'an and gather three loyal and loyal people, you will be able to achieve full success, and it will be a great contribution to the country!"
"This..." Huang Wan hesitated a little.
"Your Majesty, if Wu Zixu hadn't escaped at night, how could he have eliminated Chu's harm? How could he have helped him to be upright?" Jiang Qian said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't lose the big for the sake of small things!"
"Wu Zixu..." Huang Wan looked at the old trees in the courtyard.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in the city, and soon there were people shouting loudly about flooding, and it was extremely noisy for a while!
"Your Majesty! Time waits for no one!" Jiang Qian urged, "I have already found a substitute! As soon as Your Majesty left, he looked for an opportunity to set fire to it. The corpses were all charred and no one could find out! Your Majesty, please act quickly!"
Huang Wan looked at the dancing firelight in the distance and sighed for a long time, "That's all! Today, I will follow the example of the sages and rush to Shaoguan at night!"
