"Assault to the side, don't attack the palace and the treasury, they must be sealed up." Mohu Zang was riding on the horse, looking furious. "I told you not to attack forward, what kind of brains do you have?
Divide the city for me and seize those noble mansions, which have the most oil and water!"
"Don't rape the woman, get me something. If you have money, wouldn't it be better to buy the woman back and give yourself a bunch of sons?!"
"Don't kill people indiscriminately. These people are all going to be sent to the Han Dynasty as slaves. If you kill too many, the general will be angry... But those who resist, regardless of gender, will be beheaded by me directly!"
"Time, do you understand time? Have you forgotten the big words on the Amway warehouse? Time is money! No need to lift the ladder, there are logs over there, knock the door open for me!"
"Why did I, Mohu Zang, bring you idiots with me?! Do you understand what I say?!"
"Brother!" Mohu Donkey, whose face was covered in blood, suddenly ran out of a very large house with a panicked expression in the midst of a pool of blood and snowflakes. "I've gotten into trouble again!"
"What kind of trouble can you get into at this time?!" Mo Huzhi looked impatient. "Hurry up and clean up this house for me. Don't let go of any valuables. I also have to pry off the copper characters on the door.
!”
"I just beheaded a man." Mo Hu, who was hugging his brother's thigh, was about to burst into tears. "After he was done beheading, he said he was the adopted son of Gongsun Aunt Amway... Wasn't he causing trouble?
"
"What, what the hell?!" Mohu Zhi, who was riding a horse, was stunned.
"He said that he was the son of Zhi Ya Kelu, the nephew of Mi Ru, the general manager of Amway in Goguryeo, and that he was adopted as an adopted son by Aunt Gongsun just after he was born..." Mohu Lv almost collapsed. "I
Has it harmed the entire tribe, and won’t we be able to get even a single five baht back this time?”
"Son of a bitch!" Mohu Zhi took the scabbard and smashed it on Mohu Donkey's body, causing his brother's head and face to be covered with blood. "Is this a matter of whether you can get your money back? You
Are you going to kill our Mohu Department?!"
The people around him were panicked when they saw this, and confidants such as Que Li hurried forward to hug their leader tightly.
"I am also following your orders, brother," Mohu Donkey knelt down on the snow with blood and tears to explain. "Don't waste time. Anyone who dares to resist will be chopped down. I will go in and make them all lie down. Only this person
Standing there talking to himself, I got impatient and chopped off one of his arms, and then I understood what he just said..."
"You still blame me?!" Mohu Zang became more and more angry. "Where is the person? Is he dead or alive? Is there anyone else next to him?"
"It's just in the courtyard. It's still angry, but there are quite a few Goguryeo people who heard this. There must be seventy or eighty of them. They should be waiting in this house specifically..." Mohu Lv agreed quickly.
Mohu Zang's heart moved slightly when he heard this, but he couldn't help but look at his confidant Queli.
Que Li, who had braided hair and was covered in muscles, was slightly startled. Then he realized what he was doing and immediately pulled out his knife and led the men into the courtyard.
The screams sounded immediately, and Mohu Donkey reacted suddenly, and then turned around and rushed back, but was given a fierce look by Mohu Zhi on the horse, and then he knelt down and went back.
After a while, another cloud of blue smoke rose straight into the sky.
"The palace has just been put out, why is there a fire over there?" Ju Teng, who had just entered the city, couldn't help but point to the place where the smoke was coming from out of curiosity.
"Look who is over there and call someone to put out the fire." Gongsun Xun casually ordered, but continued to move forward.
After leaning for a moment, Gongsun Xun and Ju Teng arrived in front of the Goguryeo Palace under the white horse flag, but they couldn't help but shake their heads... It turned out that although the fire in front of them had been extinguished by Xue Hua and the sergeants, the brick and wood structure
However, the palace had already burned down, and the King of Goguryeo and Milu both died in the palace. They were in a half-burned state.
"What a pity!" Seeing a corpse still wearing a crown, Ju Teng immediately felt extremely regretful. "The commander-in-chief attacked the country and held his king accountable for his crimes. If this can bring down Goguryeo, which has been in power for decades.
The king was sent to Luoyang, which was a grand event recorded in history, why did he die like this?"
"What a pity!" Gongsun Xun also sighed while looking at a corpse. "I didn't expect that Mi Ru and Yu Feiliu on the roadside were also bloody people. One killed himself and the other burned himself... But the people who subjugated their country,
What else could be done?”
After saying this, the two looked at each other, but they could only be embarrassed and speechless... If they couldn't talk about life and death together, what else could they do?
However, after a moment of pause, Ju Teng could not hold back after all: "Wen Qi!"
"Drama Master, please speak." Gongsun Xun stood on his horse and responded calmly without changing his expression.
"No matter how you say that Goguryeo is a prince conferred by the ancestor of this dynasty (Guangwu)," Ju Teng asked through gritted teeth. "Should I be buried with honors and honors?"
"That's very true." Gongsun Xun nodded repeatedly. This was something he did casually, and he didn't bother to argue with the drama. "Goguryeo nobles advocated generous burials after their deaths, and they were usually buried next to the East Temple in the east outside the city.
... It’s just a grand burial, but it will be buried according to etiquette. Not only the King of Goguryeo, but also other nobles and Chinese people in the city will be buried in the East Temple, and I will let the witch doctors and witches there to offer sacrifices.
Then move away."
The drama was extremely speechless: "Can't we leave some people to sacrifice for people? At this point, I won't say anything about the rise and fall of succession. After all, the other royal family is gone. I just hope that your disposal methods will not be so drastic...
"
"What do you mean by the drama master?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask. "How should we deal with it so that it is not so drastic, so that it is less drastic to leave some people to maintain the sacrifices of other countries?"
"Exactly."
"Then how many people should be kept?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh. "If there are too few, believe it or not, they will run away on their own, or they will be destroyed by Woju and Haoqian? If there are too many, will they
Is this the foundation for reuniting and making a comeback? Mr. Drama, it’s not that I don’t understand what you mean, it’s just that since you have made up your mind, you must do it absolutely and never waver again.”
"Wen Qi, since you understand what I mean, it's best." Ju Teng persuaded seriously. "Why should I care about this? I just do many royal actions, and Luoyang won't say anything..."
"If we don't act in a royal way, if we don't do things that will lead to prosperity and decline, will there be any explanation in Luoyang?" Gongsun Xun finally couldn't help but sneer. "It's just a mere Goguryeo, even if it's gone, how can we still govern it?"
Our sin?”
Ju Teng also laughed dryly.
"The powerful ministers of Goguryeo were in power, and the internal strife was endless, which disturbed the borders." Gongsun Xun replied somewhat boredly. "And I, the Xiangping Order, was entrusted by the two prefects of Ju Gong and Gao Gong to lead the soldiers and horses of the two counties to attack Siyuan.
I wanted to be intimidated, but unexpectedly, the Goguryeo people overestimated their own capabilities and fought with the whole country, and I destroyed all the men in the country in one battle. This is the crime of war, and it is not you or me who are unkind..."
"This is natural." Ju Teng immediately affirmed. "Although there were heavy casualties in the battle of Si Yuan, it does not affect the great cause of justice."
"This battle in front of us does not affect our righteousness." Gongsun Xun suddenly pointed to the charred corpse at his feet and said solemnly. "The king of Goguryeo, the ruler, and the nobles had a dispute over the defeat, so that they all died in the civil strife, and they also returned to their own country.
Burning the capital...what does it have to do with us? Since there is no king, no nobles, and all the men in that country, I pity the old, weak and helpless people in their country, so I moved them to the Han Dynasty.
Isn't this the benevolence of a soldier who wants to save his life? The people of Liao and the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of them have benefited, so who sincerely wants to embarrass everyone? The rise and fall will continue... The dramatist might as well ask you
Are my soldiers in Xuantu County happy?"
Ju Teng raised his head and was speechless. After a while, he replied: "Of course I can make up these words, but if I make a country a slave, I still feel that I can't hide it from the Dukes of Luoyang..."
"Why hide it from them?" Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "I have been in Luozhong for most of my life, and I know the situation in Luozhong. As long as the princes in the court can give them an explanation, how many of them want to get to the bottom of it? Besides, let's talk about it.
Now, if we give one-third of the wealth of Goguryeo to the emperor, I don’t believe that the emperor will not be moved... No matter what, by then we will be short of a marquis?!"
Ju Teng was completely speechless, or he didn't want to say any more.
You must know that in the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty executed a white horse to make an oath, "Those who are not meritorious will not be eligible; whoever is not the Liu family and is a king will be attacked by the whole world."
Although this oath has been repeatedly violated, such as eunuchs conferring marquisships and openly selling Guannei marquises, it is still generally maintained. In the Han Dynasty, for a person not named Liu, a marquis was still the highest title in the title.
The highest peak, and it is still full of gold content.
Even when Emperor Xiyuan sold his official position in the middle of this year, he only followed Emperor An's example and sold off the Marquis of Guannei, and the Marquis of Guannei was still a castrated pseudo-Marquis who could not be passed down. He did not sell any serious marquis.
In short, as far as Ju Teng is concerned, if he can really get a marquis, and he doesn't want to be a rural marquis like Gongsun Xun's father-in-law next door, nor a pavilion marquis, but just a rank marquis, then his life will not be in vain, right? Or even
He is just a Guannei Marquis. A Guannei Marquis obtained through meritorious service rather than a bought and unheritable Guannei Marquis is enough for him to hold his head high, right?
In this case, what nonsense can this person say?
Did you fight the war?
For a moment, the two stood on the horse, each speechless, just staring at the sky in a daze, while under the Changbai Mountain, the snowflakes were as big as a mat!
In fact, a thick snowfall coupled with a short cold snap was a good thing from a farming perspective, but it seriously hindered the aftermath of the war in Goguryeo, so that many operations were forced to suspend.
Of course, the entire country of Goguryeo, from the army to the officials, from the king to the nobles, was basically wiped out. After the Han army occupied the capital of Goguryeo, the backup also flowed unimpeded from Liaodong, Xuantu, Zuyuan, and Heshenggu. Then
The next step is nothing more than waiting for the spring snow to melt and slowly tidying up.
But correspondingly, it was a last resort that Gongsun Xun, Ju Teng, and tens of thousands of troops could only be trapped in Goguryeo for the New Year.
However, during the Chinese New Year, a very interesting thing is that Aunt Gongsun, who was so close and should have responded long ago, has been silent, with neither letters nor "moves" to express condolences in person. It is the relationship between mother and child that should
Some normal greetings were silent, but Gongsun Xun was confused and didn't know what to do for a while.
But fortunately, the Amway was not vacant after the war. This gave Gongsun Xun a glimpse of the reality, so he suppressed his temper for the time being and waited to meet in person after returning to the army in the spring.
But on the other side, a whole country was wiped out, and the military affairs were important, so even the heavy snow did not stop Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui and others' wonderful writing, drama, Gao Yan successively used seals...
Only a dozen days later, a long memorial jointly signed by the governors of two counties in Liaodong and Xuantu went straight to the Luoyang Shangshu Desk!
The matter concerned Goguryeo, so when the memorial came up, it was assigned to the Kecao who was responsible for managing the affairs of the foreign vassal. Since it was jointly signed by two two thousand stone, the person responsible for handling the document was clearly the Kecao Shangshu Cui Lie himself.
By the way, in the warm spring-like public house, Cui Lie and Cui Shangshu opened the official document and only read half of it before feeling dizzy and dizzy, and then stood up directly... On the one hand, he asked his own minister, Caozhong, and the minister to call the other ministers.
Cao Shangshu, on the other hand, personally took the document and went to Shangshu Ling, Cao Jie's public house in the Changqiu period.
After reading it, Cao Hanfeng, who was already full of white hair, felt dizzy for a while, but he hurriedly sent someone to pick up Taiwei Liu Kuan, Situ Yang Ci, Sikong Yuan Wei and Huangmen Supervisor in the Beigong across the Tongtuo Street.
Zhao Zhong invited him over.
In this way, Cao Jie only circulated the document after Sangong, Huangmen Supervisor, and all Cao Shangshu arrived at the Shangshutai.
But what is very interesting is that after everyone passed the document around, for a while, no one among the important figures who represented the central authority spoke.
"Is it a lie about the military situation?" After a long time, Huangmen Supervisor Zhao Zhong raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but asked fiercely. "A boy, leading 10,000 troops from two counties, destroyed an entire country in one month.
Is it possible that a country that has been in existence for more than a hundred years...with an army of 40,000 to 50,000 men, could be wiped out in one battle?"
"How could such a thing be lied about?" Now that Zhao Zhong had expressed his position, the official of the Central Government, Cao Shangshu, and Liu Tao would naturally retort angrily. "A country was destroyed, the capital fell, the king died, and all his youth and strength were lost... Such things
Even if you make it up, how can you hide it from the people of the world? Zhao Changshi, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you may not recognize the heroes of the world. So what if 10,000 men destroyed a country? Banchao was in the Western Region that day, and thirty-six people were destroyed.
Isn’t a country a myth?”
Zhao Zhong sneered and said nothing.
"Then it's true?" Shangshu Ling, Dachangqiu Caojie suddenly answered at this time, as if he had just confirmed the authenticity of the document.
"Of course it's true." Cui Lie, the Minister of Guest Cao, also affirmed. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the key point of this matter is the battle of Zuoyuan. The Goguryeo people suddenly lost Zuoyuan, and the whole country came to attack but they couldn't.
It lasted so long that Gongsun Xun saw the enemy's opportunity and took advantage of the opponent's retreat to cover him up with his troops, only to lay his body hundreds of miles away. This kind of persistent counterattack, in which a small number wins a large number, is actually seen frequently in the annals of history."
"Strong on the inside and sharp on the outside, the sharpest in the world." Yang Ci smiled faintly at Liu Kuan beside him. "The evaluation Mr. Qiao gave to Mr. Liu that day was really on point. Regardless of other things, although he is young, he can
When fighting, he still has the style of a famous ancient general."
"That's right." Cao Jie also said with a smile. "No matter what, when the time comes for the sword to fight, Liu Gong and Lu Gong are students who can be relied on."
Liu Kuan lowered his head and rubbed his black hands, smiled slightly, but did not reply directly to the two of them: "No matter what happens, since this matter has become a foregone conclusion, as the people in charge of the central government, we should come up with measures to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.
The policy is, firstly, to report to the emperor, and secondly, to appease the meritorious soldiers."
"That's right," Cui Lie also nodded immediately. "After all, Goguryeo is just a small country. Forty to fifty thousand young people were wiped out in the first battle. It is natural for the country to be destroyed. Besides, the other country has been destroyed now. It is useless to talk about this. The Shangshutai should
Focus on discussing the aftermath of this battle!"
At this point, Cui Lie paused for a moment before continuing: "For our guest Cao, this matter is a great good thing after all. Goguryeo was a great enemy of Liao, and now that country suddenly died, just like a human body suddenly died.
A heavy burden. From now on, if we can continue to maintain peace with Fuyu, and then use kindness and power to Sanhan, Woju, and Haoqian, the situation outside the Great Wall of Youzhou will be completely opened up, especially for the three counties of Liaodong, Xuantu, and Lelang.
You can rest and recuperate.”
"That's right." Liu Tao, the official of Zhongdu, Cao Shangshu, who had always been frowning, couldn't help but feel a little happy. "Nowadays, the country is very difficult everywhere, and Goguryeo has been with us for hundreds of years. We are enemies, not friends. So no matter what,
It’s a good thing that the five counties outside the Great Wall are finally freed from one of their most trusted enemies. It’s just..."
"Just how?" Shangshu asked Cao Jie seriously.
"It's just that this memorial says that Goguryeo's population of 400,000 people has lost all its youth and strength. The nobles are in civil strife. Even their king and palace were burned down. How many counties outside the wall are already preparing to move their people in?"
"good."
"In this case, what should be done with the hometown of Goguryeo?" Liu Tao frowned and asked seriously. "If the other country still has a way to survive, directly transfer Heshenggu City and the capital of Goguryeo to Xuantu County, and then allocate another city to Goguryeo.
People continue to rise and fall, thinking that they belong to the country, and then let Xuantu County still be in charge of the affairs of the Buyeo, Woju, and Haogu tribes. But according to what is said in the report now, they have begun to disperse the children of the remaining people of Goguryeo.
...If nothing else, wouldn’t the cultivated land on both sides of the lower reaches of Mazi River be abandoned?”
"What do you think Wen Raogong said?" Cao Jiefu looked at Liu Kuan again. "You are the prince of the dynasty, and this matter is related to border defense. I always want to hear what you want here at the Chancellery."
"I mean..." Liu Kuan clasped his hands and said with a smile. "The matter is now at this point. There is no need to be demanding anymore. You might as well just let things go."
"Please also ask Mr. Liu to explain it in detail."
"At that time, the imperial court divided Xuantu County specifically to connect Fuyu against Goguryeo. Now that Goguryeo is gone, it can still connect Fuyu against Xianbei. I would like to connect the western side of Liaodong County to Xianbei's Wuli and level the two cities.
If Xuantu is allocated to Xuantu, the land in the upper reaches of the Liao River can also be returned to Xuantu, and then Xuantu will still be used as a border county to carry out military operations; as for the land in the lower reaches of the Mazi River, the land on the west bank below Heshenggu City can be allocated to Liaodong, so that Liaodong can be exempted
The worries about military affairs are gone and we can rest in peace; while the land on the east bank of Mazi River can be allocated to Lelang, and Lelang County will be responsible for the management of the Sanhan, Woju, Haoqi and other small tribes..."
"good!"
"Great idea!"
"Mr. Liu, this is what a mature man would do to seek a country!"
Everyone nodded in approval... Although the city and the people were gone, the land could be split up for the three counties to digest, and such a split plan would allow each of the three counties to have dedicated responsibilities. It should be the best temporary solution at present.
.
So, a group of central leaders talked to each other, added some details, and finally came up with a rough plan for the aftermath of the Goguryeo territory, which could be reported to the emperor.
However, this is not over yet.
"Since the division of the homeland of Goguryeo after the war has been agreed upon." Sikong Yuan Wei, who had been silent until everyone had finished talking, suddenly said, "Then it's time to discuss the matter of rewards, right? Xuan Tu was so dramatic,
Can Gao Yan of Liaodong...and the war leader Gongsun Xun be granted the title of marquis?"
Sikong Ben was one of the three men who had been reformed by the imperial censor. In theory, he had overall responsibility for the inspection of the world. It was reasonable for Yuan Wei to ask this question.
"Isn't it too much to be granted the title of Marquis?" Zhao Zhong, who had doubted the authenticity before, suddenly responded sternly. "It's just a small vassal state."
"Goguryeo is an enemy, not a friend." Liu Tao still faced the difficulties. "It's a public opinion that it has been harassing the border for more than a hundred years. If you destroy the enemy country in one battle and wipe out 40,000 to 50,000 people, how can you not make a marquis?!"
"Mr. Liu is Cao Shangshu, the official of the Central Capital. This matter is not yours to discuss." Zhao Zhong glared at him coldly, then turned to look at Lu Zhi. "Mr. Lu, you are Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You can tell me!"
Lu Zhi, who had been sitting in the public room like a wood carving, finally spoke up when he heard the words: "Gao Yan, Ju Teng, is an important official with two thousand stones, and he has contributed to the destruction of the country. Naturally, he will be rewarded with a title, but Gongsun Xun
Can be discussed again!”
"I knew that Mr. Lu would promote talents and avoid relatives!" Zhao Zhong was slightly startled when he heard this, but couldn't help but laugh. "Much better than some people."
"How can we discuss Wen Qi's contribution?" Liu Tao, who had disheveled hair and beard, immediately frowned and turned to face Lu Zhi. "Is Ziqian really trying to avoid taboos? With all due respect, if the general cannot give him a fair reward for his contribution to the destruction of the country,
, I’m afraid some of the tens of thousands of soldiers below will also complain.”
All the gentlemen in the room were silent, just looking at Lu Zhi, waiting for his explanation.
"I won't talk about how he, a Xiangping order, became the commander-in-chief of the two counties' coalition forces, and how he went to sit in the original position." Lu Zhi's face remained as usual, and he spoke slowly. "After all, both Gao Taishou and Ju Taishou have recognized him.
He only said that as the commander-in-chief of the army, he actually sat back and watched the civil strife in Goguryeo, and the royal family suffered all casualties. It must be known that the king of Goguryeo was pardoned by the ancestor Guangwu..."
"Mr. Lu is a bit unreasonable." Cui Lie frowned and retorted after hearing half of it. "So what about the canonization of the ancestors? It was reversed a hundred years ago! Wasn't it the two thousand Shibian County of our dynasty who attacked Liyuan twice in the past ten years?
Governor? In the past twenty years, the one who annexed hundreds of miles of land in the upper reaches of the Liao River and forced our Han Dynasty to abandon several cities was not the Ming Lin Dafu who was in power in Goguryeo as mentioned in this memorial? Even fifty years ago, the King of Goguryeo united with the three
When Han Haoqian besieged Xuanci City, wasn't it our Han army who asked for help from the Fuyu people in embarrassment? Hundreds of years of grievances, we are enemies rather than friends. Isn't it deceiving ourselves and others to say whether to confer or not? I don't know what Mr. Lu thinks,
Anyway, our guest here treated Goguryeo as an enemy country fifty years ago!"
"That's right." Liu Tao also retorted. "And what the memorial said is very clear. It's not that we were rude to the Goguryeo royal family, but that there had been civil strife in the other country's capital for several days before the army entered the city. The six tribes of Goguryeo
The grudges are clearly written. The royal palace and the King of Goguryeo were kidnapped and burned by rebels before entering the city... The most important thing is that only one member of the Goguryeo royal family was killed by powerful officials decades ago. Now the Goguryeo royal family is extinct.
, should Wen Qi also be blamed?"
"Is it okay to do whatever he said in the memorial?" Lu Zhi also rarely had a dark face. "God knows what the situation is?!"
"It's not what he said," Yang Ci suddenly said. "It's because the governors of the two counties and everyone in the army said so, but the Goguryeo side has been completely wiped out. Could it be because of the unfounded speculations in our hearts?
And ignore the merits of everyone in Liaodi?!"
"Okay." Cao Jie stopped the argument at the right time. "Let's discuss the matter without getting angry. Lu Gong, everyone's intention is very clear. Goguryeo is an enemy, not a friend. This battle is a merit rather than a fault. What else do you have to say?
?”
"Then I'll just say one more thing." Lu Zhi said expressionlessly. "What is it that 'Koguryo lost all its youth and strength, and worried that they would have nothing to support, so they moved the remaining Goguryeo people to various counties in the Liao region, and each household had one person to support'...
Is this being offered as a slave or as a citizen? The memorial is so secretive, do you really think we are all fools? Are there really Han people willing to accept barbarians as their family members?! Let alone hundreds of thousands of households in the five counties of Liao!
What does it mean when all the people of a country are slaves? A country with a population of 400,000 cannot survive without 40,000 to 50,000 young people?! How can the word domineering be used to describe Liang Ji?!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"What Mr. Lu said is good!" In the silence, Zhao Zhong suddenly said. "In this case, we should drive this domineering general into Luo to show that the central government cannot be bullied!"
Everyone was speechless, and although Lu Zhi stared at Zhao Zhong, he was helpless in the end.
"Ziqian," Yang Ci looked around and spoke at the right time. "It's not that we don't understand your expectations for your students as a teacher, but selfishness belongs to selfishness, and national affairs belong to national affairs. Isn't it the time for you to teach students? Wen Qi, although
It was a bit risky to act, but under such circumstances, it is impossible to punish him alone... To punish him, should we punish Ju Teng who is also on the front line? Should we punish his direct subordinate Gao Yan? All the soldiers and horses of the two counties will be punished by him.
Commander, do you want to be punished as well? The five counties outside the Great Wall were all subjected to Goguryeo barbarian slaves, should they also be punished? The imperial court had given the two Gao Operas a title, so how could they bring down the military commander?
"Hou', who fought the battle?"
Lu Zhi felt sad... In fact, this was what he found difficult to accept!
As a person who was born in Youzhou and personally suppressed bandits, how could he, Lu Zigan, care whether the barbarians were made slaves or not? There was no book in the Confucian classics that taught him to enshrine prisoners of war as ancestors.
What he cares about is that Gongsun Xun, as a county magistrate, can easily dispatch troops from two counties to attack Goguryeo, and he can also win the battle. He can also use the spoils after the war to win over the entire five counties outside the Great Wall.
People's hearts.
Perhaps all the imperial elites in front of them could understand what was wrong with these actions, but they didn't think they cared much... After all, who could know as well as himself that this student of his was a man without a king or a father?
Where is the person?!
The Gongsun family was already spread around the Bohai Sea, especially the Anli family. However, Gongsun Xun, a man without a king or a father, found himself like a fish in water after arriving in Liaodong... There were five counties in Liaodong, and his father-in-law was in charge of two counties. Since he was able to mobilize
When the men from Xuantu County in Liaodong went to attack Goguryeo, they were afraid that these two counties could be easily manipulated by him, but he was a very capable person. If he attacked a country with ten thousand people, he would be able to destroy his country and his species.
!
If the world changes and this guy becomes ambitious, it will be easy to sweep the whole country beyond the Great Wall in one fell swoop, right? By then, who will he be, Lu Zigan?!
One day in the future, the history of the future will be clear. What does Lu Ziqian deliberately do that day?
Even if heaven and earth know that you know and I know, can you still have a clear conscience?!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zhi suddenly stood up in Shangshu Ling's public room. His height was simply outstanding among such a group of people... Of course, if Ji Kang knew about this, he would be willing to give up this analogy.
"You can be granted the title of Marquis!" Lu Zhi responded sternly after glancing around at everyone in the room. "But one code is another code. As Cao Shangshu, the official department of the Shangshutai, I will never let this kid do whatever he wants!"
"What Mr. Lu means...are you going to transfer Wenqi to Luo?" Liu Tao was immediately startled. "Discipline her nearby?"
"No!"
"no!"
Cao Jie and Zhao Zhong refuted almost in unison.
"Don't you think you didn't make enough trouble last time?!" Zhao Zhong glared at Yang Ci unceremoniously. "Does Mr. Yang also mean this?"
Yang Ci looked at the other party coldly, but said nothing... He was the emperor's master, and given his age, if Cao Jie asked him, he would reply. Zhao Zhong, who had not officially taken over the power of the inner court, was not enough to scare him.
.
"Mr. Yuan," Cao Jie also spoke as expected, but he said it to Yuan Wei. "Yang Qiu is dead, are you now interested in Gongsun Xun's sharp blade?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, this is definitely not the case." Yuan Wei lowered his head and responded, then turned to his wife's senior brother. "Ziqian, this is inappropriate!"
Standing there, Lu Zhi looked down at everyone in the room, as if he had expected it: "Then we can't let him continue to stay in Liaodong!"
"That's okay."
"You should have been promoted if you have achieved special honors..."
"There is no need to be promoted!" Lu Zhi said coldly. "Being a marquis is enough!"
"How can there be a prince who is not worth two thousand stones?!" Cui Lie couldn't bear to listen to any passerby. "Mr. Lu has gone too far."
"You are too young, how can you have a weak crown like a prince of two thousand stones?"
"Mr. Lu," Liu Tao reluctantly advised. "Based on Wenqi's achievements in Danhan Mountain, he could have been granted the title of marquis long ago. At that time, he was thought to be young, so he suppressed him... But what are you doing?
Why bother? If you can suppress it for a while, you can suppress it for a lifetime? He is twenty-three this year. If you suppress him for two years and wait until he is twenty-five, why not give him two thousand stones?! Among all the princes and servants in Luozhong, which one is not young?
Compared with Wen Qi's achievements, what are they?"
"Yes, you have a famous family in the world, you have a famous teacher, and you have done so much. If you can't make two thousand stones, how can you convince the people in the world?!" Cui Lie also tried to persuade him.
"Isn't it just Gongsun Xun who doesn't have two thousand stones in the world?" Lu Zhi retorted through gritted teeth. "Why can't he conquer the world? What if he makes two thousand stones when he is twenty-five?"
"Actually, you might as well become a border commander and make a transition." Cao Jie laughed again. "This position is not obvious. I will wait two years before taking up my official position."
"If you become the magistrate of Xiangping, you can destroy Goguryeo. If you become the captain of the border county, won't you have to attack Danhanshan again?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sneered. "In my opinion, just continue to be the county magistrate for two years. Go.
It would be very good for Zhao Guo to be a Commander of Handan. When he is twenty-five years old, he will start as a captain of the inland counties. If he is still outstanding, how can I prevent him from becoming a prefect before he is thirty?"
Cui Lie, Liu Tao and other passers-by looked at each other. Only then did they realize that Lu Zhi was really angry at his student!
This arrangement almost suppressed Gongsun Xun's career to a certain extreme in a 'reasonable' degree!
Cao Jie looked back at Zhao Zhong and found that the other person could only say nothing with a gloomy face. He looked at Liu Kuan again and found that the elder from the sea was already drowsy, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart... Two
One of the teachers was indifferent, while the other tried hard to suppress his student's career, which left himself and Zhao Zhong with nowhere to focus.
I don’t know how Po Shi is doing in Liaodi? Did Zhier have any conflict with Zhao Zhong’s niece?
"That's the case," Cao Jie suddenly asserted after trying to get rid of these complicated thoughts. "The general outline will be decided based on this discussion! I'll bother all ministers to compile the text, and then directly hand it over to Huangmen Supervisor Zhao Changshi and ask him to
Bring it to the North Palace and let the emperor decide!"
Everyone left immediately.
The day passed easily, and in the evening, Lu Zhi walked out of the Shangshutai with a gloomy face and walked to Tongtuo Street... No one around his colleagues dared to say anything. After all, it is the most angry person who usually does not get angry.
scary.
Of course, some people are not afraid.
"Ziqian!" Taiwei Liu Kuan rolled up his sleeves and shouted to Lu Zhi with a smile on Tongtuo Street.
Lu Zhi was slightly startled, but he followed him obediently. The two got into Liu Kuan's bullock cart together, and then let the old servant in Liu Kuan's home drive the old bull.
Go to Liu's mansion.
When they arrived at the Liu Mansion and entered the hall, the two of them did not open a special banquet. They just placed a bottle of wine, two side dishes, and two cups on the high table between the two Taiwei chairs.
The warm earth dragon in the hall chatted gossip
"Ziqian lost his composure today." Although Liu Kuan was smiling, he was not polite when he spoke.
"It's better than Wen Laogong to be lenient in everything and treat others with tolerance." Lu Zhi still seemed to be in a unswerving mood. "Be patient with everything."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it," Liu Kuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but still smiled. "Do you know where I came from when I went to find you?"
"I don't know." Lu Zhi also picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"I just came out of the North Palace." Liu Kuan didn't hide anything. "Ziqian only knew how to control the princes at the Shangshutai as Teacher Wenqi, but never thought that the emperor is the one who makes the decision?"
Lu Zhi was stunned immediately. He didn't even put down his wine glass, but asked angrily: "Did Wen Raogong say that Zhao Zhong changed the decision of the Chancery directly in front of the emperor?!"
"How could Zhao Zhong change it?" Liu Kuan immediately laughed. "He is at odds with Zhao Bao and Zhao Taiwei... It was Zhang Rang and Zhang Changshi who praised Wenqi. And the emperor heard that the Goguryeo treasures obtained in the memorial will be
I am overjoyed to have the number of three and one sent to Luoyang."
"Deceive yourself and others!" Lu Zhi's blood surged, and he didn't know who he was scolding. "Deceive yourself and others!"
"As I said, Ziqian lost his composure today." Liu Kuan couldn't help but shook his head slowly. "And you don't have to worry about it. Because I had expected it, I paid special attention to meet the emperor this afternoon.
He also told the emperor bluntly on the spot that Wenqi was my student and I was trying to polish him, so the emperor did not make any changes. Wenqi remained in the pavilion and was appointed as the order of Handan!"
Lu Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Kuan again: "On the contrary, Wen Raogong's foresight is admirable, and Wen Qi really needs to polish her skills."
Liu Kuan slowly shook his head and said noncommittally: "I didn't say this just for Wen Qi. I just saw that Ziqian's energy and blood were high, and his decades of self-restraint were gone today. I didn't want you to lose your sense of proportion, so I went to meet the emperor.
.”
Lu Zhi couldn't help but hesitate.
"As for Wenqi's conquest of Goguryeo," Liu Kuanfu added. "Does Ziqian know that Wenqi wrote to me a few months ago?"
Lu Zhi became more and more confused: "Could it be that he consulted you in the letter?"
"We were consulted, but it's not a Goguryeo thing. But looking back at it now, I can't say it's not a Goguryeo thing."
"This is weird." Lu Zhi couldn't help but sneer in a low voice, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. "How do you say it?"
"What Wen Qi asked me in the letter was about Zhang Jian and Zhang Yuanjie." Liu Kuan said calmly. "Many people know that Zhang Yuanjie has been living outside the Great Wall these years, but they don't know that he was the one who received the Gongsun family and the Amway name.
Take shelter and live and teach in Xiangping."
"The Gongsun family and the Amway family are all over the outside of the Great Wall. I have already suspected this." Lu Zhi shook his head more and more. "There is a single family outside the Great Wall, how could it not be involved! But let's not talk about this, why did he ask Zhang Jian?"
"He asked me why Zhang Jian was so sharp in the past, but today he is so confused and silent?" Liu Kuan said bluntly.
"Then how did Wen Raogong answer?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't answer directly, but told him about Fan Pang." Liu Kuan couldn't help but feel sad as he said it. "That day, Zhang Jian came to stay, and there were countless people who were implicated by him and had their families destroyed. And at the same time.
As a party member, Fan Pang's behavior was completely opposite to Zhang Jian's. When the edict ordering his arrest arrived in the county, he went to surrender alone. The county magistrate wanted to throw down his seal and ribbon to help him escape, but he refused to implicate anyone.
And would rather die."
"Does Wen Raogong mean that Zhang Jian was young and energetic back then, and had caused so many people to be harmed? How much does he feel guilty about himself now?"
"That's not what I meant." Liu Kuan shook his head slowly. "What I want to tell Wen Qi are the two sentences Fan Pang told his son when he was arrested and executed in Luo Chu."
Lu Zhi had learned a lot and remembered it well, so he immediately felt as if he had lost it.
"After Fan Pang said goodbye to his mother, he told his son: 'I hope you will do evil in the future, but there is no way to teach your son to do evil in the world; I hope you will do good in the future and be a moral gentleman, but I have ended up like this now.
, I just want to be a moral gentleman, so I really don’t know how to teach you!'" At this point, Liu Kuan felt a little sad. "So, I told Wen Qi in the letter that Zhang Yuanjie is now afraid that he will be the same as Fan Pang back then.
It's almost the same. The world is difficult and the world is upside down, so I don't know whether to teach others to do good or evil. Fortunately, everyone outside the wall has nothing to do with him, so I can just say nothing..."
"What Wen Raogong actually wants to say is that you, like Fan Pang, don't know whether to teach Gongsun Wenqi to be good or evil, right?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh. "Being good will not end well, but being evil is not a teacher.
You should be taught, so you can only write other people’s stories in your letters! But with Wenqi’s intelligence, she probably received your teachings from Mr. Liu... just like I also received your teachings today.”
After saying this, Lu Ziqian stood up, walked to the hall, and then bowed respectfully to Liu Kuan: "Mr. Liu, as you said, I was too out of character today."
"Ziqian." Liu Kuan stood up and supported the other party. "I don't mean to be harsh on you, but you don't have to be too harsh on Wen Qi and the others. If the whole world is sorted out by us elders, everything will be clear, and Wen Qi
If they still have evil thoughts, it is naturally their fault, and teachers should naturally supervise them strictly. However, if we ourselves are not clear about the principles of this world, so that those who do evil will rise to prominence, and those who do good will die without a burial place,
Then what qualifications do you have to ask students to do this or that?"
Lu Zhi nodded slowly, then shook his head and asked, "But if that's the case, why did Duke Wen Rao go to the emperor to help me and suppress Wen Qi?"
"It's the same sentence..." Liu Kuan couldn't help but laugh. "How can any teacher in the world want to allow his students to do evil? The Gongsun family is the most powerful outside the Great Wall, and Wenqi is a capable person. If he is allowed to torment outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid the world will suffer.
Even in times of peace, he can create a state within a state. As a Han official, how can I endure it? But if someone is of Gongsun Bogui's level, I will just let him go."
Lu Zhi sighed and said no more. The two of them sat back and drank for a while.

"Fan Pang will die...and his mother will tell him the secret. Pang Bai's mother said: 'Zhongbo is filial, enough to support him. Pang returns to Huangquan from Longshujun, and each will find his own place in life and death. But you can't bear the kindness, don't increase your feelings of regret.'
His mother said, "Now that you are as famous as Li and Du, there is no need to regret your death! Now that you have the title of imperial command, if you ask for longevity exams again, can you have both?" She knelt down to receive the instruction, then bowed and said goodbye. Gu said to his son:
'If I want to make you do evil, you cannot do evil; if I want you to do good, I will not do evil.' When I heard about it on the road, everyone shed tears. He was thirty-three years old." - "Book of the Later Han". Biography of Dang Guo.

Let me tell you the truth... After I deleted what I wrote last night because I was not satisfied with it, I felt very ashamed. I felt that I was too stupid and I couldn't help everyone, especially when I had Sao Ruijun's half-membership reward and editor.
Highly recommended. So I had that kind of dream with a special sense of urgency at night, that is, I was constantly being chased, kicked out, always late... Yesterday, specifically, the house in the dream was due to expire day by day.
, but have no money to pay the rent (laughs).
But I don’t know what happened. In the second half of the night, the scene in the dream changed and it turned into me being chopped off... A group of people grabbed me and chopped off my left hand, saying that I could keep my right hand to continue coding... I woke up
After I came here, my guilt disappeared immediately.
