"Diet sick?" asked the person laughed and sneered.
The person who answered "Diet from illness." also smiled bitterly.
Then the two of them shook their heads together and smiled bitterly.
Let's sigh again, "How difficult is national affairs..."
Wang Xiu is a good person.
In other words, in the Han Dynasty, people were more accustomed to calling it "gentleman".
This "gentleman" is not a derogatory term for later generations, but a real compliment.
When Cao Cao captured Yecheng and investigated the property of various officials under Yuan Shao, only Wang Xiu's family was poor. Not only did he have any valuable things, but he even had less than ten hu of ordinary food. The only valuable thing was books. Cao Cao, who knew about this, could not help but praise Wang Xiu as a veritable gentleman.
At that time, most officials under Yuan Shao were greedy for money, and Wang Xiu was able to persist in poverty and not take ill-gotten wealth in such an environment. Moreover, Wang Xiu not only did this himself, but he also hated others to be greedy for money...
As a result, the trouble caused, "death from illness."
Storm death.
Some things cannot be said.
The mildest ones are stars, and the severe ones are suddenly killed.
Wang Xiu’s position is General of Sijin. He often has to be with metallurgical iron, so isn’t it normal to have an epidemic?
Si Jin Zhonglang is not a derivative position in the tomb robbery business.
Although this position is also a newly established position by Cao Cao, it is like the "Golden Captain" and the "Faqiu General".
Cao Cao was the leader of tomb robbers in the Three Kingdoms, but in fact, the tomb robbery business was not the first tomb robbery. At least before Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo had already dug up many tombs of princes and emperors on a large scale, and even the tombs of Emperor Ling of Han did not have any scruples to dig up the robbers.
Yuan Shao also did tomb robbery. At that time, Yuan Shao's "soldiers were violent, digging hills and even "bone of the roads" might be a factor in the later period of the Jizhou gentry. After all, in Jizhou, most of the cemeteries must belong to Jizhou's large clans. This is because the ancestral tombs of Jizhou people are digging, and they still hope that Jizhou people can be loyal forever?
Tomb robbery is contrary to the Han Dynasty's concept of loyalty and filial piety. Although it may obtain some money, it has great sequelae. Basically everyone understands this principle.
But if you don’t have money, will the current soldiers not get the military salary and mutiny, or will you dig a grave first, and short-term benefits will be damaged in the long term?
That's how Wang Xiu died.
His position was slightly related to Faqiu, but in fact he was more inclined toward salt and iron, especially metallurgical iron. But his death, like Faqiu, only cared about the misfortune and compromise in front of him.
What is in front of you?
Cao Cao's army was outside, and the supply of food and grass in the army could not be cut off.
At this time, Wang Xiu found evidence of the crimes of a group of corrupt people and wanted to arrest these corrupt people and bring them to justice, especially in expressing his intention to stop Cao Cao's order to recruit farmers for food and grass so that the people can be repaired...
On this question, is Wang Xiu’s approach wrong?
Isn’t it supposed to plead for the people? Isn’t the people suffering enough? Why can’t we be polite to the people? From this standpoint, Wang Xiu was very correct and had no mistake at all.
But in fact, Wang Xiu was also wrong. His mistake was that he would not compromise, and that he was wrong about not understanding the truth...
This is Man Chong’s judgment on him, but if Wang Xiu compromised and understood the truth, then could Wang Xiu still be Wang Xiu?
Man Chong was not sure, but Man Chong was sure. If Wang Xiu was asked to make things worse without hesitation, resulting in unstable behind Jizhou, Yuzhou, then Cao Cao would definitely not be able to settle down in the war on the front line!
Therefore, the rear must be stable, everything must be peaceful, and everything must be peaceful in the rear!
In fact, Man Chong didn’t know whether what Wang Xiu did was right or wrong?
But what should Wang Xiu do if he admits his mistake?
Only "suddenly" can be killed.
"Boning..." Liu Ye sighed slightly and said, "Is this matter too urgent? If Uncle Wang is imprisoned..."
"Not appropriate." Man Chong shook his head and said, "When Kong Wen was in prison, the county was in trouble. Could it be that Ziyang forgot that he had forgotten?"
"This..." Liu Ye naturally remembered the "grand occasion" outside the prison when Kong Rong was imprisoned. Then he was silent for a while, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he shook his head and said nothing.
You cannot be detained, arrested, or even make a big deal. In addition, Wang Xiu was stubborn, and the most critical Wang Xiu also exposed this matter...
This is the reason why Wang Xiu will die in the end.
But is there anything wrong with what Wang Xiu did?
Shouldn’t corrupt people accept punishment?
Shouldn’t the act of disturbing the people and hurting money be stopped?
Just like "Faqiu", shouldn't it be immoral and ineffective?
Why can’t the right thing be done? Instead, the wrong thing cannot be stopped?
Wang Xiu didn't understand, Liu Ye couldn't explain it clearly, and Man Chong couldn't make Wang Xiu agree to give up the plan of exploring it, and could only stop it physically.
"If you let Wang Shuzhi do it... the matter is too big... it will not end at that time." Man Chong said, sighing, "How difficult is the state affairs. I have persuaded Wang Shuzhi, but...this is the only way."
"How difficult is the state affairs?" Liu Ye sneered.
Man Chong said with a serious expression: "It is true. The lord is moving westward, and the hardships of Taihang and the stability of Guanzhong... It shows what the cavalry can do. Now the Han Dynasty is in a difficult situation, so it is certain that there will be no more troubles at this time and many troubles will occur."
To be honest, Man Chong was indeed a little worried. He calculated that the battle on the front line might not be as smooth as the propaganda said, but the firmness of Shangdang Huguan and the calmness of Chang'an Sanfu still made Man Chong very worried.
Logically speaking, Cao Cao had the Emperor of Han in his hands, and under great righteousness, he should have been defeated, just like he was attacking Yuan Shu back then. Although Yuan Shu was powerful, after the fight really started, the people rushed to compete with Cao.
But in Guanzhong, this seemed to have become a bubble. No one in Guanzhong seemed to care about Cao Cao, nor did anyone care about the emperor. What these people care more about was the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry.
this……
This is very embarrassing.
Cao Cao now conquered Guanzhong, and he had more or less worries about this. If he allowed this situation, he would probably have been unable to put up the airs of Shandong and Guanzhong had lost his respect for the Han Dynasty. At that time, if he wanted to conquer Fei Qian again, it might not be a conquest for rebellion, but a struggle between countries.
"Dangtu Gao, what do you mean by the Han Dynasty..." Liu Ye sighed slightly, "Dangtu Gao... Now this place in Chang'an is not..."
『Zi Yang!』 Man Chong glared at Liu Ye, 『Are you going crazy?!"
Liu Ye was drunk by Man Chong, and was stunned for a moment. He knew that he had lost his composure due to emotional excitement. He was silent. After a while, he stood up and said, "Well, I'll go and restrain my funeral for Wang Shuzhi..."
Man Chong nodded and took a letter from the shelf beside him, "This is my letter of apology to Shuzhi... Ziyang burned it to me in front of the tomb. If he is guilty, he should not die. If he is ashamed of him, he will not go to worship him."
『You…』 Liu Ye shook his head, reached out to take the letter, and stuffed it into his sleeve, 『What's the trouble... What's the trouble!"
"Is there only one person who has worked hard in the world, Wang Shuzhi?" Man Chong said in a deep voice, "If things can be settled, the world can be peaceful! Don't say that Wang Shuzhi is the only one, even if he is a person's life, he can also be paid for it! How can he lose the big one because of the small one!"
Liu Ye waved his hand, "Forget it, this matter...no need to be said..."
...
...
『Haha, Wang Shuzhi is indeed dead!』 Zhong Yan laughed so hard that he couldn't see the eyes, 『Tell him to meddle in other people's business!"
Zhong Yao frowned and said, "Don't show off!"
Zhong Yan waved his sleeves indifferently, as if he had swept away the dust on the table. "There are all confidants here, why should they be so restrained?"
Zhong Yao still frowned, "Zhong Zhongchang!"
"Yes, yes..." Zhong Yan sat upright.
Zhong Yao glanced at Zhong Yan, "This matter has nothing to do with Zhong! Don't discuss it! Understand or not?!"
"Yes, yes..." Zhong Yan bowed and responded weakly.
The Zhong family in Yingchuan is a large group of people.
The Zhong family of Yingchuan was known for his good criminal law. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Zhong Yuan was appointed as the Shangshu Lingling Tingwei and became the chief of the highest judicial trial institution in the country. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhong Hao taught more than a thousand disciples with poetry and rules. He was recruited as an official in the court many times, but he refused. Zhong Hao was known as the "Four Chiefs of Yingchuan" together with Chen Zhi, Xun Shu and Han Shao, and was admired by the scholars and officials at that time. Zhong Hao's two sons, Zhong Di and Zhong Fu, were not in office for the lifetime of "the disaster of party corruption" in Huan Ling's era. By the time Zhong Yao's generation, he finally got a high position...
From a certain perspective, the Zhong family of Yingchuan can be regarded as a true "elite family".
A moment later, Zhong Yan suddenly said with some emotion: "I remember when the emperor first arrived in Xu County, the county government office was broken, there were no palaces, Yanzhou was uneven, and the enemy from north to south was strong..."
Zhong Yao glanced at Zhong Yan, "Why are you so moved?"
Zhong Yan laughed and said, "I thought that the Zhong family is not easy. The emperor is not easy, so it is not easy for us..."
Zhong Yao nodded, as if he was also recalling something, his eyes were a little dazed.
Zhong's family is a high-ranking party in Yingchuan.
But in fact, in the Han Dynasty's gentry system, the Zhong family could only be called a gentry at most, and they could not touch the threshold of aristocratic families.
The rich family, or the good ones, were like the early Sima family in Hanoi, who were actually the landlords and gangsters. It was not until Sima Jun's generation that he studied and became an intellectual.
The gentry is a family with a high-ranking official who had thousands or two thousand stones in several generations. In addition to high-ranking officials such as the Three Dukes, aristocratic families also need high-ranking intellectuals who passed down from classics. They may not be very high-ranking officials, but they must have many master scholars. This is a simple summary, and the actual situation is much more complicated. In fact, it is just an ordinary powerful family, and rarely overlaps with the latter two. After all, the Haoyou Hero family has a low style, just like a nouveau riche in later generations. Generally speaking, the latter two are not willing to take them to play.
In Yingchuan, if we talk about the four major families, Xun and Chen are undoubtedly in the front, while the Zhong family behind is often at the rear of the crane, and no matter how they are, they will not be in the front.
When the Yingchuan gentry was causing trouble, the Chen and Li families were the ones who stood out, and then the Xun family and Zhong family were also implicated. Zhong Yao's father was unable to become an official for the rest of his life. If Zhong Yao had not been doing well now, the Zhong family would have almost lost his temper.
Think about it, if two generations of people in a big family are cut off, and the relationship between the past is gradually fading, the Zhong family may be separated from the four majors of Yingchuan and replaced by a new family...
This kind of gradually coming panic and the invisible pressure are so terrible to the heirs of a family!
So in Yingchuan, two factions were divided into two factions due to the Party and Prison incident.
A group of people were crazy and active, advocated domineering, no longer valued the authority of the Han Dynasty, and believed that it could be subverted. Another group of people were more conservative and gentle, advocated the kingly way, and believed that the Han Dynasty could be saved and recreated in prosperous times.
This is normal, who can't bet?
So some of the Yingchuan gentry followed Yuan Shao. In order to help Yuan Shao up, they immediately took Yuan Shao to a big sword and had a party with the Jizhou genius, which made Han Fu immediately pee and broke the small blue film. Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he could only leave the stage in shame.
The other part of Yingchuan was naturally led by Xun Yu and bet on Cao Cao. After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he reached a new climax.
Although Zhong Yao was older than Xun Yu, he could only be Xun Yu's younger brother. Later, Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao, and most of the remaining scholars of Ruying who originally assisted Yuan Shao also changed their ranks.
Those small groups of people who had to overthrow the corrupt man before ran to suppress Fei Qian again...
In the current situation, it can be said that most of the people who are willing to stick to the Han system think that the Han family is only half over. As the prophecies and divinations said, the children of Yingchuan gentry who have a lifespan of nine hundred years are under Cao Cao's command. However, the children of Yingchuan who feel that the Han Dynasty is about to be exhausted and the dynasty will change will be at Fei Qian.
The Yingchuan gentry under Cao Cao were very harmonious at the beginning, but when Boss Cao discovered that he was a little bit slapped by the Yingchuan genius, he started to pull the bridge board.
Cao Cao began to focus on using poor families, and also tended to use people from Jizhou or other prefectures and counties, and no longer blindly used people in Yingchuan, which gradually had fundamental conflicts with people in Yingchuan.
In Cao Cao's camp, the military and political affairs were controlled by two groups of people. The military power of the army was dominated by the Peiqiao people, and was controlled by the Cao family of Xiahou, supplemented by the generals of other surnames. Cao Cao's personal guards were also dominated by the Peiqiao people. In the construction of people's livelihood, the political and economic development of Ruying people were controlled by Ruying people. The government center was centered on Xun Yu, and Ruying people were spread throughout the court and various places.
But there are exceptions.
For example, Zhong Yao.
In history, Zhong Yao served as the governor of Chang'an and the Sili School Captain. At that time, Zhong Yao's attitude towards Cao Cao was very ambiguous... At least during the period when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought, Zhong Yao had a long thought. Because when Cao Cao was in Guandu, Zhong Yao was in the honeymoon period as the Sili School Captain, and his relationship with Xiliang was still in the honeymoon period, so he only gave Cao Cao two thousand war horses, but did not give any combat power. At the same time, Yuan Shao divided his troops to attack Cao Cao, but he also bypassed, or he was not worried that the flank would be attacked by the Sili School Captain Zhong Yao...
Now, Cao Cao and Fei Qian are fighting...
Zhong Yao did not oppose the royal party, but was not loyal to the emperor, had ambition, but was willing to surrender. Simply put, when everyone bets and worked hard for it, Zhong Yao was shaking from beginning to end, sitting on the wall...
Zhong Yao gave a memorial written on the table to Zhong Yan, "Look, what's wrong with it..."
Zhong Yan opened, chanted, '... The book says, "The emperor asked the people of the lower class to be widowed and widowed, and said, "The emperor asked the people of the lower class to be slandered and said, "This means that Yao should eliminate Chiyou, and there was Miao punishment, and first interrogate the people of the lower class to be slandered. If you are now in prison, you will interrogate the three locusts and nine thorns, and all the officials and the people will be ordered by Xiaojing. He should abandon the market and ask the right to be killed. If he wants to be beaten, he will be free from the right toe, and the castration will be free and Xiaowen will be beaten with his hair... Well? Brother, this is the case, but I want to ask for the matter of avoiding death and flesh again?"
Zhong Yao nodded, "It's just that Wang Shuzhi's death can be used as a guide..."
Zhong Yan thought about it and suddenly started shouting, "It's amazing!"
...
...
"It's amazing!"
Emperor Liu Xie slapped the table, "Zhong Aiqing is indeed loyal to the country and worry about the country and the people!"
Wang Xiu died, which made the emperor very angry.
Wang Xiu delivered the report form to the emperor and died suddenly. Even a fool could know that there was something wrong with it. But the emperor Liu Xie had to be such a fool!
What is the emperor?
If you say it is the emperor, is it really the son of heaven?
From the day Liu Xie ascended the throne, he was always confused and never got an answer.
At the beginning, Liu Xie still believed in this trick. At least when he and Fei Qian talked about the five virtues and always discussed, Liu Xie still believed that he was the son of heaven and had great luck...
But gradually, Liu Xie understood that he was not the son of heaven.
God neither killed the arrogant soldier when he got the stinking bull bones, nor saved him from water and fire when he was most helpless. Therefore, Liu Xie knew that if he only relied on the name of heaven and earth, he would not scare people. At least he could not make the ministers around him feel awe, nor could he enhance the loyalty of these guys.
The farming field cannot be improved...
Liu Xie was also helpless in this regard.
He also tried hard to farm, showing the emperor's example of farming and sericulture, but after he gritted his teeth and worked hard for a season of Zhuanghe, he did not feel that he had received support from the people.
Liu Xie was too far away from ordinary people. Even though Liu Xie bent down hard, worked hard to touch the ground, and worked in the farmland, it was still useless. He could not reach other people. The three elders in various counties and counties represented the people in counties on the surface, but in fact they only represented the three elders themselves.
So in the end, Liu Xie just moved himself, but became a laughing stock for others...
所幸,刘协的劳作,多多少少还是有一点作用的,王脩送来了减免百姓赋税,减轻征调的表章.
It’s a pity that before this role was fully utilized, Liu Xie had to think about what to do, the road was strangled to death.
"This is the right way of the emperor!"
Liu Xie touched Zhong Yao's memorial and felt that he finally understood the direction of his efforts and found the meaning of the existence of the emperor. "The emperor asked the people, widows and widows, and widows, and wits, and wits, and wits, and wits." It was wonderful, and wonderful! "The virtue is only fearful, and virtuous, and virtuous are only wise! He was the last three years of his life, and he was grateful to the people!" Haha, wonderful, wonderful!"
Liu Xie's laughter echoed in the empty hall. When he suddenly heard it, it seemed like Liu Xie was laughing, and the other pillars and walls in the hall were laughing, but he didn't know whether he was echoing or mocking...
