It has been a week since what happened in Bingzhou City, and in a very ridiculous way, he announced that he would no longer accept the rule of the Zheng royal family.
What happened here has long been spread through carrier pigeons and the like, but the strange thing is that today, the surrounding states and counties remain silent as if this incident never happened.
For the grassland people who heard the news, although this man was a bit crazy, in order to ensure that the transactions between the grassland people and the Central Plains people were not disturbed, they directly captured a city. They really felt Liu Jun's sincerity. Originally,
The three major tribes who were preparing to take action also gave up their plans.
Nowadays, Su He is one of the innates stationed in the goods yard. Not only him, Bagan, who had dealt with Liu Jun before, is also here, and even Harbala is also here.
The existence of the goods yard can help their tribe survive the cold winter, but face and the like have no effect at this time.
On the third day after Liu Jun and the others returned from Bingzhou City, Dongfang Bai and Tong Baixiong came back with the grain transport convoy, and of course the head of the Zhou family.
Dongfang Bai and Tong Baixiong were extremely excited when they saw Liu Jun. The convoy moved very slowly. They also heard about what happened in Bingzhou City through guests passing by. Tong Baixiong regretted it very much at the time. If they had spent the night in Bingzhou City,
You can participate in Liu Jun's actions. This is impossible.
Although the head of the Zhou family was forced to come here, when he saw the situation here, he immediately asked the housekeeper who came with him to go back and bring all the old grain from the house.
As of today, the Zhou family alone has shipped three batches of grain.
In the past few days, not only merchants from Bingzhou, but also from Sili and Jizhou have come here with their caravans, but most of them are just for small fights. I think they want to come here first to explore the road.
When there are more people, the thoughts become complicated. Naturally, some people want to be unruly, including people from the Central Plains and people from the grasslands.
Liu Jun did not punish them too severely, he just prohibited them from trading in his goods yard again.
Liu Jun had just driven away the men of a certain village leader, when a middle-aged man wearing a leather robe walked in. At first glance, he looked no different from ordinary Bingzhou people.
Liu Jun looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that this was not the magistrate of Qingshui County.
Liu Jun was a little surprised and stood up to greet him: "Mr. County Magistrate, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Now, I am no longer a county magistrate."
"What's wrong?" Liu Jun was confused.
The middle-aged man just smiled bitterly and shook his head, but said nothing.
Liu Jun's heart moved: "Could it be that the incident in Qingsong Mountain has implicated you?"
"Not really, it's just my own fault."
The middle-aged man looked like he didn't want to mention it again, but Liu Jun already understood that maybe he was really affected by the incident at Qingsong Mountain.
What would happen if such a person came to me? Liu Jun thought about it, but because he had no clues, he couldn't think of a reason.
"Okay, don't mention it if you don't want to. But we have known each other for a long time, and I still don't know what to call me." Liu Jun asked the middle-aged man after he sat down.
"Now I am just a white man, please call me Xue Daocheng."
Xue Daocheng looked at the strong fragrance of the milk tea that Liu Jun poured for him, and tried to take a sip, but unexpectedly, a fishy smell rushed straight into his nose, and he almost spit it out, but he still had the courage to endure it and swallowed it.
Liu Jun looked at Xue Daocheng and laughed heartily without caring about his face.
"I couldn't stand this milk tea the first time I drank it, but I got used to it after drinking too much. Don't drink so much at one time when you first start drinking it. You can try it again."
Xue Daocheng also listened to others' advice and took a small sip. Although the fishy smell was still there, he tasted other flavors, including milk, tea, and a slight salty taste. It was unexpected.
Some are good.
The two of them were holding bowls and sipping milk tea quietly. Xue Daocheng was born in a Confucian family and his meditation skills were first-rate. Although Liu Jun could spend time with him, it would be meaningless.
Seeing that half of the tea in the bowl was gone, Liu Jun said directly: "Brother Xue, if you come to me at this time, you must not miss me and come to see me."
When Liu Jun started talking, Xue Daocheng also became serious.
"Brother Liu has a good heart, and I admire him very much, but his behavior is a bit eccentric, which will definitely bring disaster in the future."
Liu Jun was noncommittal: "Since Brother Xue said that he had resigned from the position of county magistrate, who did he say this on behalf of?"
"The prince has lost his virtue, but the seventh prince cherishes the people and pays filial piety. He has to temporarily lead the court at the suggestion of the clan and the empress dowager. However, after all, some names are not justified. If he can make a decision at this time
Great achievement, silence the mouths of those ministers, and secure the throne of the prince, which will surely stabilize the court and make the world peaceful again."
When it comes to other things, Liu Jun may not express any opinions, but forget it about the Seventh Prince.
Liu Jun suddenly asked: "How long has it been since Brother Xue resigned?"
"It's been about half a month."
"So, Brother Xue was a member of the Seventh Prince before he took office?"
Xue Daocheng's face turned slightly red: "That's true. After the imperial examination, I was lucky enough to win the favor of the seventh prince, so that I could be successfully promoted to official position."
Liu Jun smiled softly and said: "You have been serving as the county magistrate in Qingshui County for nearly two years. If you put it this way, your seventh prince may have already planned for the crown prince's position. So what you just said about 'having to' is
There is something wrong."
Xue Daocheng looked unhappy after hearing this. Although what Liu Jun said sounded reasonable, it was only right that the prince had made plans for that position.
Liu Jun's direct attack on other people's personality was extremely immoral in his opinion.
Liu Jun did not look at Xue Daocheng's face. His mind was once again immersed in the moment when he knew the truth about the destruction of the Jingwei Army.
"This seventh prince of yours is really good at calculating, taking full advantage of a person's value over and over again.
"You know, he planned the destruction of the Jingwei Army. As for the reason, it's ridiculous, because the leader of the Jingwei Army was promoted by the prince. In order to prevent the prince from making a comeback, he used a conspiracy to directly bury the Jingwei Army.
More than 20 innate people then colluded with the grassland people to surround and kill the leader of the Jingwei Army. Of the nearly 10,000 people in the Jingwei Army, there are now less than a thousand left.
"As you said, the Seventh Prince needs some credit. Could it be that you want to recruit me to surrender?"
Liu Jun laughed loudly: "It's really a good trick to turn your hand to make clouds and rain."
Liu Jun's laughter was full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Xue Daocheng's face was gloomy and uncertain. He wanted to say that he didn't believe a word of what Liu Jun said, but his own reason told him: it was true.
"All of these are necessary sacrifices for the great cause. As long as the Seventh Prince secures his throne, he will be able to save more and more people."
Looking at Xue Daocheng's pale face, Liu Jun smiled: "You don't believe these words yourself. As a Confucian disciple, you can't understand the word 'sacrifice'.
"To be honest, if these people who died in the Jingwei Army were willing to die for your seventh prince, then I have nothing to say.
"I'm really fed up. You keep saying you represent this and that, but have you really asked the people you represent?"
Liu Jun took a breath, but also sighed. He understood that what he said to Xue Daocheng was of no use, he just wanted to vent the depression in his heart.
"I'm sorry for saying such things to you. These things have nothing to do with you. I'm just not in a good mood lately and I took my anger out on you. I'm sorry."
Liu Jun's apology did not improve Xue Daocheng's mood at all. He was here as a lobbyist, but he had no intention of saying anything else at the moment.
It is not that serious to say that it is a collapse of faith. I just found that the so-called Shuntian herdsman I have been doing over the years has no effect on the one I am loyal to, and my achievements in Confucianism are actually not as good as Liu Jun's.
