The guerrillas withdrew from Tongchuiling, and an armed uprising took over Yuzhou. Situ Cen recommended a classmate of the prince named Gao to the Supreme King. The Supreme King hesitated for a long time before inviting this person.
However, classmate Shi Gao came and bowed to the Supreme King and Situ Cen. The Supreme King frowned slightly and asked his name. He said, "My name is Gao Er Tuan."
Situ Cen smiled and said: "This name is quite festive. You really like the Kingdom of Shu."
The sophomore class laughed and said, "I like it."
"What do you like?"
"There are too many," said the sophomore group, "I like pandas the most."
Situ Cen laughed and said, "Don't look at how honest and honest that thing is, it is very powerful. There is a bear keeper who could easily be slapped to death by it."
The sophomore group said: "I just like it when I see it. It's so cute when you're lazy."
Situ Cen nodded and said, "Let me tell you something. The guerrillas rebelled in Yuzhou."
The sophomore group was stunned: "Yuzhou? We all guessed it was in Guangyuan."
"Why guess Guangyuan?"
"It's close to Qin State and Tongchuiling." The second-grade high school group said, "What's their name?"
Situ Cen was also stunned for a moment, and turned to the Supreme King: "Oh, what is their name?"
The Supreme King realized that he had also forgotten to ask, and said angrily: "You come to ask Gu? How old are you?"
Situ Cen grinned: "It's not our fault, it's the messenger's fault. He even forgot to tell such important news."
The messenger had just gone down to rest, so he hurriedly called the person over. The messenger quickly confessed, "I was in a hurry and forgot to report back to the Supreme King."
It turned out that the provincial examination was about to take place, and the prefect suddenly dismissed a large number of talented people from the imperial examination. These talented people may come from the families of craftsmen, merchants, or military households, or they may be the children of officials. In any case, they are all people who are not allowed to take the imperial examination according to the law. The country of Shu also
There are compulsory education schools, and children who are born unable to pass the imperial examinations are only allowed to attend primary school. Except for those who are recommended by their teachers for their extraordinary talents, the rest are not allowed to attend secondary schools regardless of their academic performance. However, every year some children try to pass the college examination or even the provincial examination.
At first, these families hid it from their neighbors, but in recent years, they have become bolder and invited guests to celebrate in public. This year, the Shu Kingdom simply took a cruel approach, ordering all the states and counties to remove all the talents who have been identified as having inconsistent identities, and the provincial examination will strictly investigate the talents.
The guerrillas took this as their identity and led the three families of craftsmen and merchants to rebel.
After hearing this, the sophomore team rolled their eyes: "Is this because they dislike too many talents or something? People who have gained honors in an honest and upright manner have been expelled for such an unreasonable reason. Can you be convinced? People have different talents, and there are always differences.
The children of craftsmen are born to be good at business, the children of merchants are born to love martial arts, the children of military families are born to be literary, and the children of scholars are born to be good at work."
The Supreme King said: "Of course there are, but the number is very small. They are really geniuses, so the court naturally picked them out. However, these are mostly ordinary people who are unwilling to stick to their ancestral heritage."
One of the staff said: "Buddha said that all living beings are suffering, and no profession is easy to do. But there are always people who think that switching to other professions can be better than what their ancestors did. Many craftsmanship will be lost if it is not passed down from generation to generation."
The second-year high school students said: "Then the master can accept apprentices!"
The staff member said, "If it's hard work, who would be willing to do it?"
"Since you work hard, how about your income?"
"Naturally not high."
"Then try to increase your income."
"That's easy to say." Situ Cen glanced at him, "Just talking about road construction, if there are no craftsmen and corvee workers, who is willing to do it?"
The second grade high school student said: "There have been no craftsmen and corvees in Taiwan since the beginning, and the roads are the smoothest."
Situ Cen said: "That's because the wages are high."
The second-grade high school student group wondered: "Isn't Shu a very rich country? It has robbed so much gold in West Asia."
Situ Cen said: "So much gold has its own uses."
The second-grade high school group laughed and said: "Each has its own use, but it is not used for the people. If things go on like this, Shu will soon be unable to retain its population. In the past two years, large areas of Qi's farmland have been deserted, and the people have gone to other countries or overseas. Qi
The king gritted his teeth and refused to raise taxes, otherwise he would run faster." Situ Cen was slightly startled and muttered "Qi State" in a low voice. The second grade high school group shrugged, "It seems that many people have forgotten that there is Qi State in the world."
The aide said: "Qi is weak and right under the nose of Lu. We just have to wait and see when Lu will attack."
The second-grade high school group said: "If we want to fight, I think it will be the Yue Kingdom's trick. Lightning capture the king."
The staff asked: "Master Gao, what is the lightning battle to capture the king?"
The Second High School Tuan said: "The Yue State destroyed Wu and the guerrillas fought in Yuzhou. They destroyed the enemy royal family or officials with lightning speed and forced them to surrender. The Yue State destroyed Wu because of its strong force, and Chongqing
The state probably cannot do without the help of the local people, especially the officials and subordinates." He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Supreme King, they will never be able to pull off this plan in Chengdu."
Situ Cen frowned and said, "It's certainly not possible in Chengdu, but it's easy anywhere else."
The second-grade high school regiment nodded: "Yes. They rely on military households to fight wars, and they rely on subordinates to manage government affairs. With the help of these two kinds of people, it will be much easier for them to attack the state capital."
The Supreme King thought for a long time and said: "We can't let it go. After all, the number of guerrillas is small."
Situ Cen touched his chin and said: "I always feel that their Yuzhou rebellion is not that simple. I'm afraid they have other tricks."
Everyone thought for a long time but couldn't think of any backup plan, so they gave up for the time being.
So they mobilized heavy troops from all over the country, claiming to be 200,000, and went to Yuzhou. They were commanded by General Han, and the Second Regiment of the High School served as the staff of the camp. They went to Yuzhou with great force. When they got outside the city, they saw that the city gate was wide open and the people were going in and out as usual.
General Han took the lead, and the soldiers behind him rushed into Yuzhou City, shouting for killing. The people immediately ran all over the ground. The officers and soldiers did not encounter any obstruction, and rushed to the Yuzhou government office at lightning speed. When they got here, there was not even a guard at the door.
.So the government offices were surrounded, and General Han ordered the traitors to come out and die.
Not long after, several men in official robes ran out from inside and bowed down to meet General Han: "The general is here."
General Han pointed at them with a riding crop: "Are you guerrillas?"
"No, no, no!" several shouted, "The lower officials and others are all serious court officials." Then they signed up one after another, and they were all minor officials such as the general judge. A general judge said, "The guerrillas were attacked three days ago
They have evacuated Yuzhou, taking with them twenty-three adults and generals, and I don’t know where they went.”
"This..." General Han was shocked and looked at each other with several lieutenants.
The second grade high school students asked: "What have they been doing in Yuzhou these days?" The judge laughed bitterly and shook his head slightly.
It turns out that when the guerrillas occupied Yuzhou, they issued household registrations to all the slaves in the city. They took the money from the government treasury and sent them to neighboring countries. They also hired many students to work with their soldiers.
, re-copied the household registration files in the Guange style, and changed all miscellaneous registrations in the entire Yuzhou, regardless of merchants, craftsmen, military, or lowly, into good citizen household registrations. The original files have been burned to the point where there is no ashes left. The brothel and the Chu Pavilion are temporarily closed, and all the pink-headed sannyasis are
The deeds of sale were collected and burned.
Those who are willing to eat this bowl of rice in Yuzhou will be given household registration as good citizens, but those who are not willing will be given travel expenses to send to other countries. The travel expenses are really not low, and these people all know that the money earned by their counterparts in neighboring countries is only a small amount. I gave the old madam some agency fees, but no one was willing to stay and they all left.
The leader of the guerrillas, Shi Qiusheng, tried the case in public, allowing the common people to complain. He settled the case clearly and found out more than a dozen unresolved cases. Those scholars who were dismissed from their honors naturally had their original household registrations of unscrupulous citizens wiped out. Regaining their fame and honor. In the end, they not only emptied the warehouses of Yuzhou government offices, but also distributed the public grains in the granaries to the people door-to-door. Even though more than 20 large granaries were built in Yuzhou city, there were more people. No scraps were left behind.
General Han was dumbfounded! Others were speechless for a while. It was the second grade high school regiment who took the lead and asked, "Have the prefect and the other adults been disturbed at home?"
"No," the judge said, "Not only did they not touch the family members, but they also didn't even touch the money in the family. When they left, they even sent people to your homes to make sure that they would not harm your lives and that they would provide you with good food and drink. .Every family asked them why they arrested the adults, and they said that the officials were the wealth of the imperial court, and they only robbed the imperial court."
The chief secretary said: "Tongzhi, Mr. Wang's son, said that if their family goes back to their original place, they will no longer be members of the Shu Kingdom. Can Mr. Wang be released?" The guerrillas asked them where their original place was, and they said it was in Jinhua County, Yue State. The guerrillas said that when their family is settled, they can spend some money to place an advertisement in the Shanghai Weekly, saying that the Wang family has returned to their hometown. After verification by the guerrillas, if Mr. Wang is willing to leave Shu and return to his hometown, they will let him go. Travel expenses will also be paid.”
General Han was so angry that he slapped the case and cursed: "Shameless! Shameless!"
The encirclement and suppression of Yuzhou failed with one punch, and the army came and went from nowhere. General Han returned to Chengdu to see the Supreme King in despair. The Supreme King understood: the guerrillas are still guerrillas, they just replaced the mountains with cities. The old man instantly I don't know what to do.
More than ten days later, someone came to report that Luzhou had fallen into the hands of the guerrillas. The Supreme King already understood that they had few soldiers and fast legs, so he ordered General Han to rush over with 20,000 elite troops. When he arrived at Luzhou, he saw that The guerrillas had just left three days ago. Just like in Yuzhou, they forcibly released all the slaves and low-ranking people in the city, changed the miscellaneous registrations to good citizens, copied the household registration files and burned the original ones, opened warehouses and distributed grain to the people, and the officials The treasury was emptied of money and property. Officials who agreed to leave Shu could be released after their families moved away. The Shu army had not yet returned from Luzhou, and people came from Guangyuan County. They also encountered guerrillas. The leader was Shi Qiusheng's wife Jin Yuanyang. Waiting for Han When the general returned to Chengdu, Shi Qiusheng had arrived in Nanchong.
Not long after, numerous areas were robbed, and it became clear that the guerrillas had more troops than Tongchuiling. However, no matter how fast the officers and soldiers rushed over, they could evacuate at the earliest the day before the officers and soldiers arrived. Even if there was no time to copy the household registration files and destroy the It is always easy to let go of the original ones. But the slaves are the first to be let go.
The Supreme King had fought in battles all his life, and had never seen such a rogue style of fighting. He had no choice but to release his son and grandson who were still thinking about their past. Situ Cen and his son entered the door one after another, both with wry smiles on their faces.
The Supreme King sighed and said, "Tell me what to do."
Situ Cen spread his hands and said: "What else can we do? Lose completely. Old man, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. If you lose, you lose."
The prince said: "Ask Jia Cong about this, he won't admit it."
The Supreme King thought: "Are you two sure that he did it?"
Situ Cen rolled his eyes: "You didn't kill anyone, what do you think? Have you ever seen a second person who didn't kill anyone in a war?"
The prince said: "Apart from him, no one else has so many idle soldiers who go to other countries to rob every day. Grandfather, it can only be him."
The Supreme King slapped the case and said, "I don't know where I have gone. I can't find him even if I look for him."
The prince muttered: "Even if I am here, what ideas can I have?"
Situ Cen said: "Father, we can still save so many officials, warehouses, and granaries by doing it ourselves."
The Supreme King said angrily: "I asked you to come up with a solution, but you actually surrendered? How can you repay it on the battlefield?" He scolded the two of them. After the scolding, they still didn't know what to do.
But at this moment, someone answered outside and said that a girl from the prince's house asked to see her and said she had something important to report to the prince. The prince quickly asked her name. The eunuch said, "It's Miss Tong Buye."
The prince hurriedly said: "Let her come in."
The Supreme Emperor's brows moved: "What girl?"
The prince said: "Master Tong Gui's granddaughter. Do you still remember Tong Gui?"
The Supreme Emperor thought for a while: "Remember."
"I'm afraid the case was too severe."
Situ Cen also spoke up: "It's really too heavy. My father was so angry that he lost his mind."
The Supreme Emperor slapped the case and said, "Are you rebelling too?" The two of them quickly shut up.
Suddenly Tong Buye came in and bowed politely. The prince asked, "Why are you coming here in such a hurry?"
Tong Buye looked at his nose and heart: "I just received an urgent letter from Qi Yao Niang, and I sent it to the prince."
The prince frowned: "Bring it here."
Tong Buye then held the letter with both hands. He saw the four words "urgent" written on the envelope. When he opened it, there was a list with eight county names listed on it. The last piece of paper said: "These
There are people in various places who claim to be guerrillas. They imitate the guerrillas and capture the county government offices, open warehouses to distribute grain, and move money from the warehouses. However, these are not done by guerrillas, but by local troops or bandits pretending to be them. According to the information we have received
, some county magistrates and garrison generals are discussing to follow the same method to control theft." The prince was shocked and hurriedly handed this letter to the Supreme King. The Supreme King couldn't help but widen his eyes. Once this kind of thing spreads, the entire Shu Kingdom will be affected.
Chaos.
Tong Buye lowered his head and said, "Neither of the two handwritings on this are Qi Yaoniang's."
Situ Cen stretched his head to look beside his father and cursed: "Damage."
The Supreme King thought for a long time, and as he reached out for tea, he spotted Tong Buye from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Are you Tong Gui's granddaughter?"
Tong Buye whispered: "Yes."
"Do you think your grandfather's case was too serious?"
Tong Buye still lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes. A civilian girl thinks it's too heavy."
The Supreme King hummed: "Because of his protection, I almost let a idiot get the chance to win the exam!"
Tong Buye said: "The daughter of the people did not say that it was wrong for him to cover the fraud case, but the crime was not serious enough. According to the law, my grandfather was only exiled." As she said, the prince winked at her, but she only stared at her.
I didn’t see it on the ground. “If we say it’s a warning, it’s not the last case of imperial examination fraud, nor is it the last case of asylum. It didn’t warn the world at all. The Supreme King was in a bad mood at the time, and he took it out on our whole family. If everything happens
Everything is done according to the prince’s mood, why do you need the law?”
