Just after the New Year, the snow in Liaoning Province melted immediately, and then the weather became warmer day by day at a speed that was difficult to adapt to.
This is of course beneficial. Just as the messengers from Luoyang were hurrying up, and taking advantage of the spring blossoms, a large number of Goguryeo people had been moved to Han Dynasty along the north and south roads.
It enters Xuantu, western Liaoning, then takes the south road from Mazishui (Yalu River) to Liaodong, Lelang.
Historically, as long as it was migration, wives and children were destined to be separated and families were destroyed, let alone migration after defeat? But from another perspective, the war, the country was destroyed, and all the young men died.
Almost, now the Goguryeo people have no room for violent resistance. Besides, once these people are transported to Han Dynasty, they will be directly 'digested' by local households who are preparing for spring plowing, and there is no soil.
Customer conflict.
Therefore, at least from the perspective of the superiors, this migration is very 'quiet'.
But even so, Gongsun Xun still encountered a lot of troubles here, and of course, these problems came from within the victors.
Some of them are commonplace...but some of them are so commonplace that they are a bit disturbing.
"So this is true, you really robbed tombs?!" In a lobby in the capital of Goguryeo, Gongsun Xun, who had not taken it seriously at first, suddenly became furious. "Besides you, there are others who have done this.
Who?! Who is the leader?! Who gave you the courage?!"
Several low-level Han army officers kneeling below immediately kowtowed in fright, while several county officials from Xuantu County standing aside stood motionless with their eyes, nose, and heart in mind.
That’s right, it’s tomb robbing!
As mentioned before, the Goguryeo people like to have elaborate burials. And according to their customs, there will be an East Temple outside the east gate of every city. The East Temple has extraordinary significance to the Goguryeo people. Life, old age, illness and death almost depend on it.
Therefore, it almost simultaneously takes care of social responsibilities such as ancestral halls, brothels, hospitals, and cemeteries.
For example, before the Goguryeo people were highly sinicized, every year after spring plowing, the witches of the East Temple would hold a gathering such as the Uncensored Assembly next to the East Temple, gathering young men and women from all over the city together, and first bathing in the river.
Then they gather in the big pit next to the East Temple and have wild sex to promote the reproduction of the race... How should I put it? In fact, whether it is spring bathing or young men and women going out together to make love, this custom is a common practice in various civilizations around the world.
It is a common phenomenon, and things like witches serving as prostitutes and temples serving as brothels have far-reaching consequences. There is no need to discriminate against the Goguryeo people.
However, after a civilization develops, depending on the level of construction of the marriage system of the civilization, the extent to which this custom is retained varies from person to person.
Of course, back to the present, what we need to pay attention to here is not an unobstructed meeting. Anyway, Goguryeo has perished. The real key here is the rich burial and cemetery. There are five cities in Goguryeo, and there is a large east temple outside the east gate of each city.
, then the nobles in the city and the Chinese people usually choose to take some of their valuable belongings and bury them in the cemetery next to the East Temple after their death. Over time, God knows how many things are buried, not to mention the accumulation of hundreds of years?
Then we see that the living people in the city are gradually disappearing, and most of the bones and dregs of the dead have decayed. Even the city may have disappeared. Only some of the funerary objects naturally have lasting value, and they are still concentrated and obvious.
Lying there... How will the motley crew of more than 10,000 invaders react when they learn about this kind of thing?
The news spread from the funeral of the King of Goguryeo, and then when the relocation work got on track, people started digging the grave... It's that simple!
But the problem is, there are some things you can’t say!
"Don't mention the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to me?" Gongsun Xun looked at the few low-level officers who were caught in front of him and couldn't help but get more angry. "Let me ask you, who else in the Han army has done this?
matter?!"
"General Gongsun, there is no need to ask who else is there?" At this moment, a county official from Xuantu County suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile. "There is no need to blame them harshly... Forgive me for speaking frankly, General, why don't you ask, who is there in the army?"
Involved in this matter? When you dig in the ground, there will be gold and silver, and then there is no victim. Who can resist it? "
Gongsun Xun immediately fell silent.
But after a long time, he suddenly stood up and asked the county officials: "The actor is still in Heshenggu City to supervise the immigration matters?"
"Yes, my master is still in Heshenggu City." The county official immediately bowed his head and replied.
"That being the case, you go to the south of the city to discuss the matter with Lu County Lieutenant, and I'll pay a visit to the dramatist." Gongsun Xun had no expression on his face, but he left behind the several officers who participated in the tomb robbery and the few whistleblowers in the hall.
Then he took Han Dang and a few other officials and went straight out of the city.
The officers were at a loss and the county officials looked happy for a while.
By the way, Gongsun Xun, who served as a county official in the Liaoxi County and also served as a minister in the central government, certainly knew the beginning and end of this matter...Tai Shigong once said, "Everything in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit."
; Gongsun Auntie also said, 'If things are not equal, they will cry'!
Then, the officials of Xuantu County who took the initiative to report this matter had only two purposes: one was that they had not benefited from it, or had gained very little, so they deliberately retaliated; the other was that they were jealous of what Xu Rong and other county officers had done this time.
Gaining credit and having too much wealth is purely out of jealousy, so I seize the opportunity to attack.
In essence, it’s still a matter of merit!
What is different from the previous competition for merit in the army is that this time the competition for merit is obviously larger in scale, more involved, and the matter is more difficult... You must know that although Gongsun Xun has accumulated a lot of prestige because of this battle, these sergeants now
He was still willing to obey and respect him unconditionally, but after all, the war was over, so he still lost reasonable and legal control over these genuine border troops from Xuantu County in the army.
In fact, it is Juteng who now has legal control over the Han troops and officials in Xuantu County. In other words, this matter is more like an internal matter in Xuantu County!
Therefore, as the actual controller of the army, although Gongsun Xun cannot remain indifferent, in the face of the attacks by these Xuantu County officials on the Xuantu County border troops, he really has no useful methods. It is impossible for him to let him go with just one word.
What these people gave up...the only thing he can do now is to exert influence by exchanging benefits with Juteng.
"Zhengnan!" As soon as Gongsun Xunfu arrived in the city, he met Shen Pei who came out to greet him in a hurry, and then immediately dismounted. "Thank you for your hard work, Zhengnan!"
Shen Pei was arranged to Heshenggu City not only because it was an important hub for the relocation of Goguryeo households, but it even had the meaning of 'looking after' Ju Teng.
"Sitting high in the rear all day long, how can you be so hard for your Majesty?" Shen Pei was as straightforward as ever. "I wonder if your Majesty came here to dig graves for the army without permission?"
"That's right," Gongsun Xun was slightly startled. "Has this matter already spread?"
"This is natural." Shen Pei quickly explained. "After the matter was publicly reported by Xuantu County Magistrate a few days ago, Xu Sima was summoned into the city, but he was neither punished nor returned to the army. It seemed that he had to wait for
Your Majesty, please come over and meet with the actor for a while before making a decision. I also know that Your Majesty will definitely come..."
"Xu Rong has been grounded?" Gongsun Xun looked surprised. "Does Ju Teng hate me so much? You had some bad feelings with him when you were in the army, and now that the dust has settled, you want to come back with revenge?"
"That's not necessarily the case." The judge couldn't help but shook his head seriously. "The prefect is actually a very pragmatic person. Your husband and he had a small affair, but it was not a big deal, so he should just go with the flow and watch the fire from the other side. After all, this time,
The soldiers in the army were indeed caught by those county officials, and once the tomb robbing incident is revealed, it is hard to say whether Xu Rong can escape unscathed."
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, but suddenly asked seriously: "Zhengnan is very resourceful. The success of this event is all due to Zhengnan's sole responsibility at the rear... I don't know, is there anything you want to teach me about this matter?"
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower," Shen Pei responded calmly. "It depends on what your Majesty thinks."
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart... He didn't want to think that one day he would be able to enjoy the treatment of the upper, middle and lower policies as mentioned by his wife.
"Zheng Nan, feel free to speak out." After smiling bitterly in his heart, Gongsun Xun still asked politely seriously. "What are the three strategies?"
"The best thing is to just ignore this matter." Shen Pei also laughed and said. "After all, your military exploits are world-renowned, and I'm afraid you will be promoted to a higher position in the near future. In that case, why bother with the internal affairs of Xuantu County? There is still a bright future.
Ahead.”
Gongsun Xun stared at the other person with a half-smile.
"The next best thing is to take advantage of the fact that the army has not been disbanded. The general can just find an excuse and kill the troublemaker in front of everyone." Shen Pei continued to speak openly. "Once this person is gone, how many are left?
How can a county official turn the world upside down? But if the credit has not been paid, there is no way that this person, the prefect, will fall out with your lord."
"In that case," Gongsun Xun suddenly became serious. "Let's take the middle strategy!"
The judge was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, I haven't told you the right strategy yet!"
"Zheng Nan talked about the top strategy first and then the bottom strategy, but put the middle strategy at the end. He must have wanted me to take the middle strategy." Gongsun Xun replied seriously. "And I have said in my letter before that many famous people in Hebei Province
, Who is like to judge Zhengnan? Zhengnan’s magnanimity and strategy are far better than mine. Since Zhengnan wants me to take the middle strategy, then I will take the middle strategy. Why ask what the middle strategy is? "
The judge was silent at first, then took two steps back and bowed seriously to the person in front of him.
"Invite Xu Sima over."
Half an hour later, in the afternoon, at the palace of Heshenggu City, after giving the order, Ju Teng slightly turned his body to one side, as if to face the man sitting next to him in an attitude of escaping or staying out of the matter.
Gongsun Xun, Shen Pei who was standing, and Xu Rong who was about to arrive.
At this time, the people standing in the hall were many officials from Xuantu County below Xuantu County. After the New Year, almost all of these people came here to work on the relocation of Goguryeo residents.
Labor... From this point of view, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand that they feel jealous and resentful of those rude and uncultured sergeants who casually obtain a large amount of trophies and will be rewarded with many military exploits in the future.
Returning to the front, after leaning for a moment, Xu Rong changed out of the armor that he had always kept with him, and Xu Rong, who was neatly dressed, arrived at the palace lobby... It could be seen that although he was not treated harshly, his expression was obviously
He looked haggard and looked haggard, as if he had been mentally shocked by this incident.
Of course, this is understandable. He has obviously made great achievements, but he has become a criminal because of this kind of thing. Not to mention promotion and so on, if he is not handled well, he may be imprisoned.
"Greetings to the general, paying homage to the prince..." Xu Rong knelt down to plead guilty at the place where he had interrogated Ming Lin's husband.
"Bo Jin, do you know you are wrong?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting next to Ju Teng, asked expressionlessly.
"I..." Xu Rong, who was kneeling in front of the hall, hesitated to speak.
"Bo Jin, Bo Jin, I know you are unwilling to accept it." Gongsun Xun sighed deeply when he saw this, and then walked down the hall to help him up. "You have obviously made great achievements, but you are being punished for such nonsense.
Deprived of military power, there is even a vague possibility of prison! But this is the truth in the world. Some things may not be weighed by a few before they are weighed on the scale, but once they are weighed on the scale, they will immediately become critical.
Your body may not be able to bear the weight of it! If you do this in secret, you can’t do it on the surface; if others do it, you can’t do it; if you do it in the past, you can’t do it today... Do you understand?
?”
Xu Rong looked dazed and vaguely understood some of the meaning, but still couldn't fully understand it.
"Xu Sima, my order is..." Shen Pei stepped forward and said, "You are a Han general and a state official, and you must follow the rules! Those Xianbei and Wuhuan
Zahu can do this kind of thing, can you do it? To say the least, when the emperor ordered to destroy his country, destroy his species and destroy his country, you can also do some extraordinary things, but that is because everything has my family.
Your Majesty and the dramatist jointly shoulder the responsibility for you, but today the war is over, you can only bear everything by yourself. Not to mention, now that you are recording your merits and deducting your achievements, this unbearable act is even more sudden! This is
Although the robbery of the dead's tomb occurred in a remote place outside the fortress, once it was documented and reached the central government, how do you think the central officials with a background in Confucianism would deal with you?!"
The words were spoken so directly, why didn't Xu Rong understand? So he immediately bowed down again in shame: "General Rong is in trouble!"
"What's so difficult about this?" Gongsun Xun also helped the other party up again. "I just asked you if you knew you were wrong. Not only did I want you to reflect on this matter, but I also wanted you to worry about your future fate... From that day in this palace
I know that you only know how to fight and lead troops, but you don’t know how dangerous people’s hearts are. Today, the show master and I are here, and everything will naturally be covered for you. If your career is ups and downs in the future, and you meet another sinister villain,
So what should we do then?”
When Xu Rong heard this, his nose almost sore and he was about to shed tears. When Ju Teng and the other county officials in the hall heard the words 'cover it up', they were also suspicious and frightened... Especially Ju Teng, this man was not confused.
So I was already on alert.
"Jiu Gong!" Sure enough, the judge suddenly turned to Ju Teng and took out an official document from his arms. "The matter has come to this. Although Xu Sima has made a big mistake, it is rare for my family to have you cherish others.
On the way, I have decided to take responsibility for this crime for him, and I have taken over the matter... I also ask the drama master to help me use my seal to send a confession document to the minister's desk. He is willing to exchange his military exploits for Xu Sima's immunity!"
Ju Teng immediately stared at the person in front of him, but was speechless for a while, and all the county officials in the hall, starting from the county magistrate, were all frightened... Xu Rong, on the other hand, became even more grateful and shed tears.
You must know that the essence of tomb robbing does not lie in the gold and silver, but in the immorality of the matter! If you do it, you must be mentally prepared to be infamy for a lifetime or even several lifetimes. Therefore, the more noble a person is,
On the contrary, it is more harmful.
Just like this time, everyone knows that Mohu Zang, Duan Riyuming, and Taodun are almost all involved in the digging of ancestral graves. However, as a fool, digging ancestral graves seems to match their status.
…
But on the other hand, once Gongsun Xun is involved in this matter, it basically has nothing to do with the title, and he will be burdened with unknown stains for the rest of his life... He may even be complicit in protecting the tomb robbers.
Maybe!
However, so to speak, how will the people of the world view the drama in this matter?
The person who robbed the tomb was Xu Rong, who was a Sima of another department directly under Xuantu County. He committed the crime, but it was Gongsun Xun who took the blame? And after the incident, you are so dramatic that it was Gongsun Xun who deserved meritorious service, the title of marquis, and the war.
But you lost the reward for your subordinates? But in this process, you Juteng still acted as the judge of the case...
And this is the "middle strategy" of the judge. Without any explanation, he directly takes the blame for Xu Rong, forcing the "pragmatic" show to settle the matter... In fact, only Ju Teng can easily resolve the matter and let this person do it.
Things are no longer troublesome.
Of course, this kind of coercive solution will undoubtedly offend the governor again. Moreover, at this time, the two sides no longer have a war on the front, and there is no interest tied up. If they are offended, they are really offended.
"Are Zhengnan kidding?" Sure enough, after a long time, Ju Teng finally shifted his gaze from the famous Hebei scholar in front of him to Gongsun Xun standing in the hall, and sneered. "This matter is still under inquiry.
, it’s hard to say whether it’s a false accusation...Jun Cheng!”
Xuantu Juncheng, who was standing frozen at the foot of the stairs, quickly bowed down.
"Go and find out about this matter," Ju Teng said through gritted teeth, almost word for word. "You must clear Xu Sima and the other officers and soldiers in the army! If you can't find out, I will question your whole family!"
The commander-in-chief sighed and then immediately bowed his head.
The matter was over, and Ju Teng felt heavy in his chest, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Ji Gong!" Gongsun Xun, who had never spoken to Ju Teng, suddenly stopped him. "Hold on."
Ju Teng looked back and sneered: "What else does Gongsun Lingjun have to say?"
"This battle is over." Gongsun Xun said calmly while holding Xu Rong's hand. "I don't know where my future is. There is nothing else here, but Xu Sima... The drama company also heard this just now
Come on, he doesn’t understand people’s hearts and doesn’t know how to adapt. I’m afraid that he will encounter such troubles in the future, so I would like to ask the drama director to take care of him for me.”
The drama suddenly burst into anger!
However, just when he thought that the other party was trying to take advantage of the situation and deliberately warned him, unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun actually pressed Xu Rong and bowed to him with him...
The etiquette of superiors is not so easy. The two of them are not subordinate to each other, but in front of a full hall of county officials, Gongsun Xun's move almost seemed to admit his mistake and submit.
"Dramatist, I also know that robbing tombs is unethical after all, so I will deal with Hu Qi Han's army after I return. And I also know that all the officials in Xuantu County have worked hard to immigrate." Sure enough, Gongsun
Xun raised his head and continued. "You see how wonderful it is... In this battle, most of the goods the soldiers received were converted into rice grains and cloth from my business. The profit gained by my business was actually not much."
Young Master, I have the decision to ask the merchants to give some money and silk to all the officials in Xuantu County as a reward and as an apology?"
"Wen Qi!" Not to mention that the county officials turned their worries into joy. Although Ju Teng was mostly angry after receiving Gongsun Xun's gift, he still frowned in confusion. "Since you are willing to pay privately,
Of course, I have nothing to say to appease the officials of my county. But I don’t understand. You have a bright future, why would you do this for the Sima of another county? You are blackmailing the governor of another county, and you are paying to appease him.
, again apologizing, doing this three times, working hard... Don't you know that he is just a border warrior with no roots, so what if he has made great achievements this time? Is there any other pattern in this life?
What! But you and I are from aristocratic families and important officials in the imperial court!"
Gongsun Xun also sighed slightly: "Drama Master, I can't tell what will happen in the future, but what happened in the past is still vivid in my mind. That day, I was sitting on the high platform of the original camp and saw Xu Sima marching out with his army.
But my heart is already broken... As a general, I strategize and plan hard. Isn't it just for someone under my command to be able to do this for a moment? To be honest, a sudden glance, no matter how hard it is, this moment is enough for me to serve him.
It’s come so far.”
"My lord, a man wants to die for his confidant, so he should cherish his confidant first. Since a woman should be honored by the one who pleases her, she should live for the one who pleases her." Shen Ping also said in the side. "I was in Luoyang that day.
My family's magistrate was so generous that he followed him here. When my family's magistrate saw Xu Sima's success in a battle, he protected him many times. Isn't this the same thing? A man is born in heaven and earth, and what he seeks is a matter of time.
Glory, your name will be passed down to future generations, so why bother talking about your official position and background? And Mr. Drama, this plan was planned by me for my family. In addition to what happened before, please don’t blame me!"
After saying this, the judge also bowed and apologized to the other party.
Ju Teng laughed in embarrassment. Although he couldn't accept this statement after all, he couldn't say anything, so he turned around and walked away.
"The virtues of a general will never be forgotten!" After the drama was over, Xu Rong, who had been leaning forward to maintain a posture of worship so that no one could see his face, bowed to Gongsun Xun again, and then knelt down to worship again.
, rise again and rise again, it is the highest worship in Han rites. "In this life, I will never do anything against morality again!"
After a lot of hard work, Gongsun Xun finally heard this and the vague meaning in Shen Pei's words. Naturally, Gongsun Xun smiled happily and helped him up. Then, since it was over and he was in a good mood, he took Shen Pei with him again.
Together, Han Dang took the other party to a courtyard occupied by the Amway, so-called banquet to eliminate darkness!
However, after three rounds of drinking, when Gongsun Lingjun was drunk and hazy, someone suddenly came to report that Mrs. Gongsun had actually come to the post-war Heshenggu City in person and had already entered the city.
The afternoon sun was setting in the west, and Gongsun Wenqi immediately woke up from most of his wine.
