The capital is Luoyang, Xiahou Jiawu Fort is located at the west end of Yangqu.
Chen Tai and Xia Houhe, who had just arrived, returned with regrets on their faces.
They came to pay a farewell visit to Xia Houhui, but when they arrived together, they were told by the steward of Wubao that Xia Houhui had left Luoyang two days ago.
As for why I missed it.
It's not that the two of them arrived too late.
According to the transfer order conveyed by Yousi, Xia Houhui only needs to arrive at the Zhengdong General's Office in Shouchun, Huainan before June to report, and it will not be considered missed. According to common sense, with such ample time, he should stay in Kyoto
By late April or early May, it’s not too late to say goodbye to family and friends before setting off.
However, who could have expected that he would quietly leave Luoyang on the second day after the transfer order was issued?
"well"
Xia Houhe, who was riding his horse slowly, shook his head and sighed, "If I hadn't sent someone to ask first, I wouldn't have made Brother Xuan Bo's trip in vain."
“How does the right of justice come from blaming evil?”
After hearing this, Chen Tai, who had been staring ahead silently, couldn't help but smile, "It's just that Zhiquan is too eager. And in my opinion, Zhiquan probably doesn't want to see us."
Well?
Involuntarily, Xia Houhe looked sideways, and when he saw the vague gratitude on Chen Tai's face, he understood in his heart.
His sixth brother was moved to the left.
And he was moved to the left because he did the right thing.
Therefore, a ray of anger arose in his heart.
A treacherous and sycophantic person like Wu Zhi was able to return home with honor, while a sincere person like Chen Sikong was slandered, and an outspoken person like my sixth brother was expelled from the temple!
It has only been a few years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. How did the world become like this?
Maybe, it's just a vague feeling.
Chen Tai, who had not heard Xia Houhe's voice for a long time, also glanced over and was surprised at first when he saw his frowning expression. Then he sighed quietly and stared ahead with a slightly hollow gaze.
He also made no sound.
His father is a minister who cares about life!
He was slandered and publicly reprimanded in the temple. The compensation he received was nothing more than a few random compliments from Emperor Cao Rui and the gift of money and silk.
Don't use it as an excuse for being appointed as a Disciple Cavalry Minister.
Coming from a well-known family in Yingchuan and reaching his thirties, would he care about a mere casual knight?
Everyone knows that the late emperor used personal anger to punish Cao Hong, the hero of the Wei Dynasty, and that Bao Xun, the son of Bao Xin, was mean and ungrateful. Now it seems that the current man is of the same lineage and is no less good!
well.
Yanzhou, Jiyin County.
Chengyang County, between Dayeze and Leize, was one of the earliest strongholds of the Wei State to establish farming.
It is also the station of Diannong Xiaowei.
As for Jiyin County, which is obviously a large county, why is it that the chief officer in charge of farming is not a Zhonglang General, but a school captain like a small county? [Note 1]
Yanzhou and Yuzhou were the first to establish farming.
There are especially many military and civilian strongholds in each county. In order to prevent the magistrates from having too much power, the Wei State divided the land rights of some counties with more tenants and those of larger counties with more fertile land into two.
Set up two Diannong captains to rule separately.
For example, the school captain who is stationed in Chengyang County only has jurisdiction over the eastern part of Jiyin County.
However, the other captain still respected him as the master of the entire county's farming affairs.
Because his surname is Xiahou, his given name is Wei, and his given name is Jiquan.
He was a good knight in his early years, but he did not serve as magistrate of Juyang County until the end of Wei Wen Cao Pi's reign. In February last year, he was transferred to the trial position of Dian Nongxiaowei. Now he has just changed to a real one, and he can have full salary.
Therefore, he has been quite high-spirited in the past two months.
Many rough guys or poor people he had made friends with in his early years took advantage of passing by or made a special trip to visit him, making him even more difficult than before when he started to live on a full salary.
And today, he welcomed two people who were eating and drinking again.
Moreover, he had traveled thousands of miles and came all the way from Luoyang, Kyoto - in order to meet his fourth brother who was serving abroad, Xia Houhui and his subordinate Sun Shu came all the way through Hulao Pass and walked half a circle to get there!
It is very warm to see brothers meeting each other.
After hearing the report, Xia Houwei quickly stepped out to greet him, his face glowing with joy from afar. As soon as he reached the front, he grabbed the reins of the horse held by Xia Houhui and said happily, "What a good horse.
!”
And he kept praising him with his tongue.
He looked up and down at the good Wusun horse and couldn't get enough of it, but for a long time he didn't even glance at Xia Houhui, who was still holding the horse's reins.
Xia Houhui, who had been left to dry for a long time, had a smile full of joy on his face.
Co-author, in the eyes of this fourth brother, he who has not seen each other for several years is not as good as a good horse from the Western Regions, right?
With anger in his heart, Xia Houhui just wanted to protest a few words, but as soon as his mind changed, he smiled again and asked, "Do you, fourth brother, like this good horse from the Western Regions?"
"Well, well, I'm quite pleased."
Xia Houwei, who had his eyes fixed on his horse, still looked straight and nodded repeatedly.
Xia Houhui continued, "Since the fourth brother likes it, how about I give this good horse to the fourth brother?"
"Do you really mean what Zhiquan said?!"
Suddenly, Xia Houwei raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.
"It's true."
Nodding lightly, Xia Houhui said slowly with a smile, "It's just that one person still needs to agree to this matter."
"Hahaha~"
After a burst of hearty laughter, Xia Houwei patted his sixth brother on the shoulder very affectionately and praised him, "We haven't seen him for several years, and Zhiquan is already a talented person! He is indeed the most talented person in our family! Well, this is such a good person.
Ju, who else do you need permission from?"
"It's today."
After waving his hands in the direction of Luoyang in greeting, Xia Houhui smiled broadly and said, "This beautiful horse from the Western Regions was originally your majesty's gift and was given to me later. If my fourth brother likes it, I will go to Luoyang and claim that I have been ordered to go to Shouchun in Huainan."
When I was in charge of the cavalry battalion, I made a special trip to visit the fourth brother at his station to talk about the brotherhood. The fourth brother was very pleased with the good horse, so he asked me to leave the horse and walk to Huainan."
Well!
As soon as he said these words, the surprise on Xia Houwei's face turned into astonishment.
Immediately, his face turned livid again.
Shameless!
I'm just happy with this good horse, but with the above statement, I'm threatening to seize the horse?
After being stunned for a long time, Xia Houwei suddenly threw his hand at Xia Houhui's shoulder with hatred and scolded him sternly, "You are unworthy! You didn't care about the hatred between your father and brother, and Shangshu refuted the general's plan to conquer Shu!"
"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
Even the great horse Wusun didn't even bother to take a second look at it.
It's just a joke. When did my fourth brother's understanding become so narrow?
Xia Houhui, who was in pain, stood dumbly, looking at Xia Houwei's back in amazement as he walked away.
And a moment later, he saw him turn around, pointing at himself and shouting loudly, "What are you doing standing there in such a daze? Why don't you follow me? Do you want me to lead the horse for you?"
"Oh, here it comes."
After hearing this, Xia Houhui reacted and handed the horse's reins to Uncle Sun, and quickly caught up with the four brothers and walked side by side.
And he didn't forget to tilt his head and add with a smile, "I don't dare to let the fourth brother hold the horse. However, if the fourth brother insists on doing it, I will have to be disrespectful."
After saying this, he quickly turned around to avoid Xia Houwei's slap, burst out laughing and ran into the office first.
This also made Xia Houwei, who was originally a bit resentful, shake his head and sigh, then smile happily.
Among the brothers in the family, although Xia Houhui had the best relationship with Xia Houhe, in terms of personality, he was the most compatible with Xia Houwei.
Because Xia Houwei had been among the people in the mountains for a long time in his early years, he had a rough-and-tumble style that was intolerant of red tape, informal, and genuine in both laughter and anger, which made him feel very kind.
Even in his early years, he returned to Qiao County to live in seclusion. Before going out on a ranger trip in autumn and winter, he went to Juyang County to look for Xia Houwei and carefully asked for advice on the matters of going out as a ranger.
There is no shortage of fun today such as this kind of banter.
The Diannong Xiaowei Office established outside the city was actually a camp where scholars were stationed.
The scholar family, also known as the military strategist, was born in the military system of the world.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the last years of the previous dynasty, Dong Zhuo's political chaos caused the imperial court to fall out of control, and all the heroes came together to fight against each other year after year. The land in the states and counties was desolate, and the population dropped sharply. In addition, the wealthy families took the opportunity to annex the land and collect the land.
It only hides the population, making it impossible to implement the military recruitment system since the Han Dynasty.
In order to maintain a fixed source of troops and restore and develop production, Wei State began to implement the "World Military System".
Instead, Li Shu and their families were forcibly fixed as "military households", called "Shijia", and registered separately from civilian households.
Men of a scholar family will serve as soldiers for life. After the father dies, the son succeeds, the elder brother succeeds the younger brother, and no change is allowed. Even if he reaches his old age, he cannot retire, but can be engaged in trivial matters such as logistics and transportation. The scholar family
Their status is lower than that of civilians, and marriages can only be limited to military households, and they are not allowed to marry civilians; if a scholar flees, his family members will be punished together.
In addition, in order to maintain the number of scholar families and maintain their political achievements during their reign, local officials in many places did such shocking things as "giving birth to women."
Therefore, after the two brothers finished talking about their family affairs, Xia Houhui claimed that he did not care at all about being dismissed from the official position of Sanqi Shilang, but was more happy to be sent to the army for training and determined to make achievements on the battlefield in Huainan. Xia Houhui
Wei looked at him silently for a while, then took him out to see the scholar's family and their families who were busy with spring plowing.
It also made Xia Houhui extremely silent.
Because what he saw was a group of "living dead".
Yes, although these scholars are still living people, their hearts have long since died.
When a person has been forced to plan his life trajectory and ending since birth, and this plan cannot be broken away from, then this person is already dead.
In the eyes of the Emperor of Wei and the Dukes of Gonggun, the scholar family was not worth caring about and did not need pity.
Because they are no different from the weeds that can be seen everywhere.
Even if drought dies in summer, waterlogging dies in autumn, and dies in winter, they will still keep popping up when spring returns to the earth the following year.
Men of the right age to become soldiers are like wild flowers in bud.
For the monarch's ambition to dominate the world, and for the ambition to lead them as marquises, they turned their flesh and blood into wild flowers that bloomed in a certain place for an instant, and then withered instantly.
Therefore, these scholars who know their own destiny are like zombies.
The only belief left in my heart is to pray to the gods above the nine heavens, hoping to receive relief as soon as possible; I also plead to the underworld below, hoping that I will not face such a fate after death.
Yes, what they hope for is not in the human world.
Because those who deprive them of everything they want and want are in the world and control it.
