Standing in front of Huajue is a symbol of beauty, as if a soaring phoenix is about to fly. The main hall is like the sky created by Zhu Ling, which shines brightly. The winding winds of the Qiu Chi support the flying beams of the heroic rainbow. The Cloud Pavilion is built in Nanyu, and the Congtai is erected in
Shaoyang.
In the palace of King Zhao, which is famous for its magnificence and splendor, just sitting outside the palace facing a small table and watching the singing and dancing in the palace through the threshold, Qian Zhao and others already felt dizzy. They young people
, especially the Youyan disciples who followed Gongsun Xun this year after he was granted the title of Marquis, how many of them would have thought that they could sit directly in the palace of King Zhao to attend the banquet after just following the Marquis for a few days?
Of course, those Yi Cong who came from Bingzhou were much calmer. They had visited Tongtuo Street, and the Taiwei's house had helped old Liu Kuan fight against the wine altar countless times. Cao Jie, who was in charge of the government, and Wang Fu's family also
After breaking through, some people even personally arranged for one or two regular attendants, and so on. Then facing a prince king who although the palace is very gorgeous, but has no real power, naturally it will be like that. He even drinks too much.
After a few drinks, Yang Kai, Qian Zhao and other newcomers were ridiculed by the veterans.
However, after such a joke, the guards and low-level officials of King Zhao who were sitting with him also looked at each other, and even became frightened... The atmosphere of the banquet was not good.
And not only that, in the main hall, which had been leaning for a moment, when the world-famous Zhao State dancers withdrew, Gongsun Xun casually mentioned the bad thing that the doctor Zhao Ping had done in the south of the city today, the atmosphere in the hall actually changed.
It became a little embarrassing. Zhao Wang Liu Yu, who had been laughing and joking, and having a good time with Gongsun Xun as host and guest, even excused himself as unwell and left directly.
"What does this mean? Does King Zhao despise me so much?!"
When Gongsun Xun saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little half-heartedly angry. Although the princes and kings enjoyed all the wealth and honor, they had no real power at all. They were the kind of people who gave each other face if they could get along with each other, but didn't need to give face to each other if they couldn't. During the Han Dynasty,
I don’t know how many ministers got to the position by stepping on the princes and kings... but in the end, I was actually disgraced by a prince and king?
To be honest, although I wouldn’t argue with this kind of person, when I first meet and receive such treatment in public for no reason, I will be looked down upon by others if I don’t get angry.
The rest of the people around looked at each other in confusion, as if they knew something about the inside story. However, Han Tuo, the leader of the country, could not speak due to his identity. In the end, these officials of King Zhao winked at each other, but they turned to the officials of King Zhao.
Another Qianshi official, Chen Li, the servant of King Zhao, came out.
"You really don't know about Wuyouhou?" Chen Li asked with a helpless smile.
"What do I know?" Gongsun Xun became more and more confused, and then became more and more angry. "Everyone in the city knows what Zhao Ping did today, and it was also in my hands. How can I not say it?"
At this time, Gongsun Xun was really angry... Thinking about it, nothing seemed to go well for him since he entered Handan City. The three most important people he met were more impressive than the last.
Powerless:
Xiang Xu, the Prime Minister of the country, is that virtuous; Zhao Ping, the doctor who relies on Zhao Zhong, is slippery; now a King Zhao who lives in a deep palace is actually looking down on him for no reason, and then these people still take it for granted?
Do you really think you are easy to bully?!
"It seems that Wulihou really doesn't know anymore." Chen Li sighed immediately. "However, please don't be too angry without Wulihou. My king thought Wulihou was laughing at him..."
"Is there any hidden secret here?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but frown.
"It's fair to say," Chen Li said awkwardly. "His Royal Highness, King Zhao of the previous generation, once met a mulberry-picking woman on the roadside outside the city, and then intended to invite her to the car with her, but was scolded in public. Moreover, what the late king said at that time was
The person who invited him to ride with him was the wife of his family leader Wang Ren... Although this matter was not completed, the reputation of the late king was ruined. In addition, the late king had also put on makeup to go to Yecheng to have fun and was recognized, so he was recognized by others at that time.
Several matters concerning the state minister were directly reported to the late emperor. The late emperor was so angry that he even cut off the title of a county in the state of Zhao."
Gongsun Xun was immediately enlightened after hearing the gossip.
"A son never speaks of his father's fault," at this time, Zhao Guoguo Fu Hantuo, who was sitting at the top, also spoke at the right time. "Although the king is a little rude, but considering that he has a reason for doing things, please don't worry about it.
"
"It's me, Meng Lang." Since it was purely a misunderstanding, Gongsun Xun naturally wanted to show respect to the respected Han Tuo, so he immediately stood up, saluted, and avoided the table to apologize.
"Your Majesty's Servant," Han Tuo nodded slightly and ordered Chen Li again. "Since Wuxihou is unaware of this, go and talk to the King and persuade him to come back and have a drink together to prevent the matter from spreading and causing rumors."
Chen Li immediately bowed and walked away.
After leaning for a while, King Zhao also returned in embarrassment. However, this time Gongsun Xun did not take the initiative to stand up and apologize. He just sat down and took a drink with the other party, which was considered to be the end of the story... He had told Han Tuo before
The salute is to respect this Wangfu. He is an elder, knowledgeable, and a man appointed by the imperial court. Compared with this, what is Liu Yu, the king of Zhao who is less than thirty years old? He deserves it.
Bow one more time?
The grand visit to worship when the two met for the first time had already made Gongsun Xun very dissatisfied... The inheritance of the King of Goguryeo was decades longer than the inheritance of the King of Zhao in front of him. Wasn't it because of his own borrowing a knife to kill someone?
Hacked to death or burned to death?
But no matter what, the banquet got to this point. Although it was not dark yet, it was no longer possible to continue, so everyone reluctantly sat for a while, and as King Zhao drank a glass of wine, he said, "I can't bear the power of wine."
It ended smoothly.
Interestingly, the person who sent Gongsun Xun out on behalf of King Zhao was not the king's servant Chen Li, but the lofty state Fu Han Tuo.
Gongsun Xun didn't care at all about this. He actually walked slowly under the sunset in the palace of King Zhao with this man who, although he had no fame, was still one of the only two thousand stone men in the country, even talking to each other.
Very happy.
"Actually, how did the late king just force his wife on the roadside back then?" Han Tuo sneered and shook his head. "Your Majesty..."
"Han Gong is the elder, just call me Wenqi." Gongsun Xun said quickly.
"Forget it! Wen Qi didn't know that what he did that day was still filial piety! And after demanding Wang Ren's wife from his own family, he not only kicked Wang Ren out, but also bought seven or eight mistresses as a draft girl...
"
"What a bold act." Gongsun Xun could only say this.
"It's more than that." Han Tuo continued to sigh. "The time he left Simamen in white clothes and went to Yecheng to have fun, he also caused a life. On the way, he stayed in a pavilion with his servants, and someone recognized him next door.
After getting out of him, he actually asked his subordinates to use a knife to kill people and silence them. The knife was too small and did not kill the people on the spot. This alerted the chief of the pavilion and arrested him. However, for the sake of the venerable's confidentiality, he only
Saying that he came out of Sima Clan in white...otherwise, why would the late emperor be so angry?"
"It's really..." Gongsun Xun didn't know what to say at this time. "It's really ridiculous and shameful!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Han Tuo smiled at Gongsun Xun. "In fact, most of the women of Zhao are famous for their beauty, and many of them are similar to what happened today when the doctor ordered Zhao Ping. They are not just allusions to the previous king...
…”
Only then did Gongsun Xun become more interested: "Besides the former King of Zhao, is there anything like this?"
"This is natural, and even more exciting." Han Tuo rolled up his sleeves and said casually. "It is said that there was a local woman decades ago. I don't know whether she was betrothed to the Wei family, the Handan family, or the Li family since she was a child.
A young and talented man, the two got married... However, only a few days after the marriage, the wife was only fifteen or sixteen, and the husband was twenty, so they separated because the husband was promoted to be filial and honest. The husband became a man in the court,
Then there was a lot of ups and downs in officialdom, and when I returned five or six years later, I was the magistrate of a county and took a special detour to pick up my wife."
Gongsun Xun listened to Zhao Wangfu strolling and talking next to him, and he probably guessed the subsequent story: "Could it be that the county magistrate's carriage walked to the field and met a beautiful mulberry picking woman, and he couldn't control it for a moment.
Live and invite the other person to ride with you?"
"That's right." Han Tuo immediately twisted his beard and smiled. "Wen Qi is really smart..."
It wasn't because he was smart, but because he had heard too many stories like this, Gongsun Xun was speechless. However, what he said next made him interested again.
"What's even more coincidental is that this mulberry-picking girl is the wife of the county magistrate who has not returned home for a long time." Han Tuo continued. "There are even two theories about this matter. One is that the county magistrate thought
He was married to his own wife, so he deliberately teased her to test her... If this is the case, it can be considered a good story; another theory is that he did not recognize his wife, but her wife strictly observed women's etiquette for him and strictly refused, but after returning home
, when husband and wife meet, the wife becomes angry and divorces her... This is an evil thing!"
"Then which one does Mr. Han think is true?" Gongsun Xun asked curiously.
"Hey, why do we need to distinguish the truth from the false in this kind of thing?" Han Tuo said easily. "Maybe it's just two stories compiled together. Even if we add the story of the late king and the story of today's Lang Zhongling, it actually doesn't matter.
, all of which make people admire the beauty of a woman picking mulberry... The beauty of this person lies in the color, the mulberry field on the road, and the integrity of a woman. To be honest with Wen Qi, I am planning to write a narrative ballad to make people praise this Handan
There are mulberry trees outside the city, and I am even planning to write only the woman's words of resistance, but not the consequences, just for the sake of lasting appeal."
"Sang, silk, is represented by a woman." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh. "Mo Shang Sang is the daughter of the farmer, which is also clever, but the narrative ends abruptly, leaving no aftermath for people to guess, which is even more wonderful... It's just that
Mr. Han, if you write this kind of ballad, aren't you afraid that King Zhao, the Lang Zhongling, and the county magistrate of who knows which family will be angry with you because of this?"
"So what if you are angry?" Han Tuo still smiled. "I am Wangfu, the only one with two thousand stones in the country, and I am specifically in charge of this king... In this case, as long as the Prime Minister does not come to trouble me, who can do anything in this Zhao country?
But what about me, who spends all day reading and writing in the palace?"
"In that case," Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped and said seriously. "If this poem and ballad is written down, I hope Han Gong will let me have a preview."
"More than just a sneak peek?" Han Tuo also said sternly... "I also want to use your company to publish it... My career has not been smooth, so I guess this is the end of it, but I have collected quite a lot of Hebei folk songs over the years. , story, I am preparing to publish a small book to comfort my life."
"Definitely, definitely!" Gongsun Xun cupped his hands and smiled. "When I was in Fengshi Mountain, I heard Han Rui brag all day long, saying that although he himself was very poor in poetry, he had an uncle who was a first-rate scholar. I still didn't believe it. ...Actually, if it weren't for the fact that I have an Anping person among my friends, I would never have believed that Wang Fu was actually the uncle of my classmate."
"After all, it's just that he has no reputation." Han Tuo also laughed again. "For a person like Wen Qi, when you burned Danhan Mountain, my nephew stood in front of the house with a knife all day long, bragging to others and talking about Wen Qi. Qi, you are his classmate, as if he has fought alongside you... However, are there actually people from Anping Township among Wen Qi's attendants?"
"Zi Jing," Gongsun Xun immediately waved and introduced. "Zi Zhao Lian Zi Jing, from Anping Guanjin, studied under the famous scholar Le Yin..."
"Are you still Brother Le's student?" Han Tuo felt more and more friendly.
It turned out that when Zhao Wang Fu Hantuo and Gongsun Xun introduced each other, the latter noticed the intimacy in the former's words, and then he suddenly realized after being reminded by Qian Zhao, a native of Anping, that this Han Gong was actually himself. The elder of a classmate who I studied with in Fengshi Mountain that day!
Moreover, the classmate surnamed Han, who was born in Anping Kingdom, had killed people with Gongsun Xun in Julu County, not far east of Handan City... It seems that the person he killed was a brother of Zhao Ping today, of course. A distant clan brother of Zhao Yun.
This kind of encounter is said to be fate, but in fact it is inevitable. Just like Shen Yu, the county magistrate of Bairen County in the northernmost part of Zhao State, isn't he also a classmate? He is just a student of Liu Kuan. And this is the son of a nobleman. I have a network of contacts, find two good teachers, make a few good in-laws, serve as a minister in the Shangshutai, fight two battles in northern Xinjiang, and participate in a few political affairs in Luoyang... After completing these resumes, go to a random place It would be strange if you can't find any relatives or friends you meet in a roundabout way when you go to work in various places!
Gongsun Xun is not afraid of being sent to the state at this time. Doesn't he still have his former colleague Shi Xie to help take care of him?!
But on the other hand, if you think about it, what kind of connections do Yuan Benzhu and Yuan Jiujiu have? Just thinking about it may make people feel frightened and their scalp numb, right?
But back to the present, whether it was inevitable or accidental, the appearance of this person suddenly gave Gongsun Xun, who had nowhere to exert his strength, an additional fulcrum in Handan City... In addition to all the depression and helplessness today, it also gave him a little more comfort.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then took advantage of the last ray of sunset to walk out of the Zhao palace. Han Tuo, the master of the country, also stopped on the steps in front of the palace... With his status, it was really difficult to continue sending him off.
"Wen Qi," Han Tuo finally said, pointing to the lights that were gradually lighting up outside the palace. "I am a national tutor. I can't talk much about national affairs, and there is nothing I can do to help you. But since you and my nephew are classmates, Friendship, I can't help but express it, so I'll just remind you here..."
"Mr. Han, please speak frankly." Gongsun Xun immediately leaned over and thanked him.
Han Tuo nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "Handan City is an ancient capital for hundreds of years, and the surrounding area is also a first-class lush land. The registered population of one county is 50,000 to 60,000, not to mention the wealthy families. Servants have been living here for a long time, and businessmen and tourists are constantly coming and going. In my opinion, the actual population of Handan is not more than 70,000 or 80,000, but it is close to it...The imperial court has entrusted such an important place to you, and I hope Wenqi can advance and retreat appropriately so that he can take care of himself."
Gongsun Xun was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything and just said goodbye.
As Han Tuo said, the lushness of Handan City is not comparable to that of Liaodong. When riding a horse on the street, Gongsun Xun even had the illusion that this place was actually more lively than Luoyang... This is not without reason, because The latter soon discovered that the folk customs here were quite extravagant. Rich businessmen and wealthy families came and went, and everyone in the big households cheered in front of them. Servants lined up in front of them holding lanterns. The big families facing the street even opened their doors and opened their courtyards. It was revealed that singers, dancers, wealthy guests, relatives and friends all came and went in and out of the courtyard without hesitation.
Spring and summer come together, Handan is glitzy, bustling with people, and lights are scattered everywhere.
In other words, people in this place obviously care more about enjoying life, and the folk customs are more open. Unlike the emperor's feet, everyone has to follow rules in everything. And it seems that the concept of inns and restaurants has not spread from Liaodong. , otherwise it should be even more lively.
In fact, while walking back to the county temple along the way, Gongsun Xun had already noticed that there were many people behind him who were distracted by the flashy scenery in front of them. Even Liu Deran, who had been in the Gou family and was a guest at this time, was He felt a little fixated...but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. You must know that Gongsun Xun has given him the opportunity. Those who can keep up will naturally follow. If you can't keep up, then it's up to you.
Anyway, in the next few years, Gongsun Xun is determined to make a name for himself as a Dianli county in this prosperous place in the mainland. He will accumulate fame, enrich his wings, manage contacts, and hone his abilities. In a few years, he will be the leader of the world. Make a big move, and then take advantage of the trend. Those who can't keep up in the middle can naturally be thrown aside at will when they get promoted.
Not to mention Gongsun Xun's gentle thoughts, but when he entered the county temple and was about to freshen up to get rid of the dust and alcohol on his body, Wang Xiu, who was staying in the county temple, suddenly came out... In other words, Wang Shuzhi was indeed He is a real person. As soon as he entered Handan City, he first brought people to help take over the county temple. He did not go to visit Xiang Xu before. Later, Gongsun Xun was upset by the slippery Zhao Ping and went directly to the banquet. He was also the one who stayed here to deal with the case from beginning to end, which can be regarded as a hard-working and uncomplaining one.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhi." Gongsun Xun had already taken off his coat, but he still came to the door in person, patted the other party's shoulder, and let this capable official into the bedroom. "Let's talk about it after we come in... But Zhao Ping from before What else is there about the case with Qin’s daughter?”
"Return to the prince." Wang Xiu responded seriously as he caught up with his prince and entered the room. "There is nothing superfluous to say about the previous case. Qin's daughter has been taken back by her family, and Zhao Ping just ran away in person. I came here and paid the fine... What I want to say is that I just checked some of the household account books and found that there were many obvious omissions and errors in both the financial and land areas."
"There are many mistakes and omissions?" Gongsun Xun asked back, but he didn't show much surprise.
"Exactly, there are problems everywhere, from tax collection to land transactions, from law and order enforcement to corvee distribution."
"For example?"
"For example, last year, the county was deported to Changpingcang in the county..."
Just when the two were about to talk about the matter in detail, suddenly, there was a noise in the front yard of the official temple, as if the Yiconong who had temporarily crowded into the official temple were shouting about something, which made Gongsun Xun's face darken... Just now On the way, he felt that the number of these righteous followers would be mixed, but now it seemed that these people had revealed their true colors too quickly.
But soon, as the leaders of Yi Zhong, such as Wei Yue, Yang Kai, Qian Zhao and others, took the initiative to report after calming down the situation, Gongsun Xun, who knew the whole story, was able to understand these young warriors.
"King Zhao sent the world-famous dancing girl from Zhao?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneered. "As an apology for the previous rudeness?"
"yes!"
"Since it's a good intention, bring it in and let me take a look." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "If there are too many, I will give some to you as wives. Anyway, I don't have much room to dance here..."
Han Dang, Lu Fan, and Lou Gui are not here, and Wei Yue, who is now the most senior in Yi Zhong, is a somewhat out-of-touch womanizer. It is clear that the beautiful little widow in the family will come with the mistress's motorcade soon, and Ming Ming Yi Zhong is coming.
There were too many single people, and it was not his turn to be happy, but at this moment he was the most excited, and he was the first to run out to lead the way. Yang Kai, Qian Zhao and others had no choice but to withdraw in embarrassment.
You can’t get on the stage! Gongsun Xun cursed in his heart, but he was ready to continue discussing the previous topic with Wang Xiu.
However, as soon as the topic started again, Wei Yue called at the door again: "Jun Hou, I'm afraid I can't fit it in your bedroom... Please come out to the yard and take a look!"
Gongsun Xun and Wang Xiu looked at each other, obviously helpless, but they could only come out to check, and it was only then that the former realized that he had indeed underestimated King Zhao's handiwork.
"How many people are here?" Facing the darkness in front of him, even Gongsun Xun was a little stunned for a moment.
"There should be 48 people." Wang Xiu blurted out from the side. "The prince is a marquis, and there are six princes... But these are just dancing girls, there should be some people playing music."
Gongsun Xun immediately realized that there were eight emperors, six princes, and eight people in each, so naturally there were forty-eight people in six.
"Those who bring music instruments will be divided into two pieces and sent to Cao Aman of Pei State. The rest will be selected as righteous servants and those who are not yet married, based on their seniority and age, and will be rewarded. They can become wives and concubines as they wish..." Gongsun Xun almost said
He immediately made a decision. No matter how famous the Zhao Guo dancer was, he would not be fooled by the beauty of Ququ.
And if we really talk about female sex, the healthy and lovely Qin girl this afternoon is worse than the ones in front of us, so it is better to go out and win people's hearts.
Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, these followers, who had been traveling hard for nearly a month and had basically not touched a woman for a long time, also cheered.
"It's all gone," Gongsun Xun shouted when he saw this, and drove all these people and the dancers out. "Qianzhao, Yang Kai and Wei Yue have made the decision. Go to the front yard to discuss this matter. Don't disturb me.
Talk to Shuzhi!"
The backyard suddenly became quiet.
"The wine and meat in the Zhumen stinks, and bones are frozen to death on the road." As soon as Gongsun Xunfu returned to the house, he couldn't help but taunted King Zhao with his disgust. "The dancing girls of Handan are famous all over the world, and the witches of Xiang are also famous all over the world, but only five of Zhao's
Although there are two cities in the world that are famous for their women, is this a good thing? If a decent family can marry a normal woman and have children, who would want to be a dancing girl or a witch? Isn’t it because the family is miserable and has no way to survive?
Are you going to sell your children?! A place that is famous for its women should feel shameful. It’s ridiculous that King Zhao, as the king of a local vassal, is actually proud of this?!"
Wang Xiu stared at the person in front of him and became angry, but said nothing.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Gongsun Xun was stared at by Wang Xiu. He thought that the other party thought he was rude, so he quickly changed the subject. "There are many errors and omissions in the account book just mentioned. Na Shuzhi felt that there were many errors and omissions in the account book.
Do you have more to do with the previous county magistrate or do you have more to do with local officials?"
"It's probably an old mistake." Wang Xiu took a long breath and replied. "It shouldn't have much to do with the previous Lingjun... But I'm afraid that Lingjun was just like our current Prime Minister.
, I just don’t want to get involved in these common affairs.”
In just half a day, even Wang Xiu knew Xiang Xu's 'style'.
"That's it." Gongsun Xun sat on the couch and sighed with his head lowered. "In the past, when we were in Liaodong, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and all the governance strategies Zibo mentioned were quite hollow. But Handan has been a prosperous place for hundreds of years, and it lives in the mountains and rivers.
In the Fumao land between them, there are many powerful families, fighting for the rich and powerful, but the common people can only sell their sons and daughters to become a dancer in Zhaodu. This kind of land-based and population-based thing is probably inevitable."
Wang Xiu nodded immediately.
"Does Shuzhi know?" Gongsun Xun said with a sneer. "When I came out of the palace before, Han Gong, the master of the country, once reminded me because his nephew was a classmate of mine. It probably meant that the local aristocratic family was rich and powerful, so I could do my best.
…I don’t know if this is trying to persuade me to take out the knife and kill the killer, and fix it, but you want me to be like the light and avoid causing trouble? Anyway, I didn’t understand.”
"Why should you care about other people's opinions?" Wang Xiuxiu persuaded with a seductive look. "For one duty, to perform one duty, to do one thing, and to bear one responsibility. The duty of the imperial concubine is to advise King Zhao and supervise the palace's civility. He is willing to remind him.
It is a kindness that goes beyond the duty; and the duty of the monarch is to take charge of the government affairs of the entire Handan, and it is your duty to deal with these people..."
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly.
"Besides," Wang Xiu continued to persuade. "Let's do things seriously according to the original plan. If what you do does not violate the law and morality, then if you encounter anyone who blocks the way at this time, you will
We should not care about the identity and power of the other party, but should simply let go and cut them off! After all, the emperor killed Wangfu in the center, deposed the eunuchs, destroyed the royal court in the northern border, and destroyed Goguryeo. Is it now the time?
Does our little Handan still want to save face for some lawless and powerful families?"
"If Zhengnan were here, I might have some quarrels with you." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh. "Of course, I understand what Shuzhi means... It's just that you, Shuzhi, have underestimated me. Why am I doing this?
Are people in trouble because of their power? The reason why I am worried is because Xiang Xu lost his position and Zhao Ping was naughty. In addition, King Zhao and his subordinates lived in the palace for a long time and did not seem to have exceeded their authority... So I started to do something
I have lost my mind, and now I don’t even think clearly about where the authority of the country lies! Tell me, if this is Zi Heng, Zheng Nan and the others come back and find me so confused, will they think that I am a prince?
Is there some incompetence?"
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking." Wang Xiu immediately shook his head, but then suddenly suggested seriously. "I don't know much about political intrigue, but I have a stupid way."
"you say."
"As long as you take the initiative to take over power, the powerful people will naturally jump out..."
Gongsun Xun laughed again: "Shuzhi really hates evil and likes to contain the strong and support the weak... I understand that there are people from Yi Zhong who have good family backgrounds and are both civilized and military. There are also people who have learned arithmetic in Amway. You can choose among them at will.
Then go across the county and directly check the account books and arrest the criminals. Whether they are county officials or large households in the county, or if they involve county officials, you can take people at will... I will take care of everything!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Wang Xiu bowed his hands and was about to leave, but as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly turned back. "Your Majesty..."
"What?" Gongsun Xun, who had just taken off his silk shoes and put on wooden clogs, was immediately confused.
"It's not that I like to contain the strong and support the weak," Wang Xiuli said in a loud voice at the door. "This is what I have seen since I was a child. In today's world, many strong people do not love themselves, and the weak have nothing to depend on!"
Gongsun Xun was startled for a moment, then stood up wearing wooden clogs and saluted seriously to the subordinate in front of him: "I will definitely bear in mind what Shuzhi said today."
————————I am the dividing line of eight people dancing in the court——————
"In the past, Taizu moved to Handan with the order of Tinghou, and the prefectures and counties looked at him... As soon as he took office, within a day, he visited the prime minister and became depressed, and saw the king of Zhao and became angry. When he returned to the county temple, the officials offered official duties, and they looked at him with anger.
The left and right were confused, so Taizu said: "The prime minister is incompetent, the king has no virtue, and the official affairs are chaotic. How can the government of a country end up like this?" Wang Shuzhi was standing by and resisted, saying: "You will eat your salary and bear your responsibilities, and the king will wait for you."
At this point, everyone is busy. Isn’t it time for a man to do something? Taizu liked his words and stood up to worship him." - "Xin Yan Shu". Volume 71, Biographies 21
