Chapter 10 The old pheasant looks at the river and sighs (make up for yesterday)
One pot boiled and two sheep screamed.
In the dusk, powerful people from all over the Zhao Kingdom rolled into a ball, while Gongsun Xun stood there holding his sword in his hand and waited for a long time. Wei Song finally stood up with a dry smile:
"Everyone, please wake up. We are all natives of the country. Nowadays, the country's officials are lying high and the people are suffering. It is quite urgent. It is time to work together in the same boat. If we can harm ourselves and benefit the whole country, so why not?"
"Wei Gong is so virtuous!" Everyone bowed down on the ground and shouted loudly.
Immediately, some knowledgeable or caring people repeatedly shouted, "Brother Handan Gaoyi" and "Brother Li Gaoyi", forcing the heads of the two families to stand up and deal with it.
"Everyone," Gongsun Xun saw that the three families had given up, and suddenly spoke up, immediately quieting the chaotic scene. "Sit back, I have something else to say... You two, go ahead and kill the sheep and cook the meat!"
"
The court was immediately in order, and Zhao Ping fled back in panic. The two big Xianbei men also took the opportunity to cut open the necks of the two sheep neatly. While the blood was flowing, no one said anything, "The gentleman is far away from the chef."
Already.
On the contrary, everyone in the court was on guard at this time. Of course, most people were excited but a little wary.
You must know that Zhao State is a county with a registered population of 180,000, and it is the smallest county in Jizhou. According to the system, there is only one filial and honest quota every year... Therefore, even assuming that everyone is willing to abide by this agreement, assuming that Xiang Xu
If you don't leave in the next two years, so that this public recommendation system continues to exist, then the next two years will be just two Xiaolian. It is also interesting for the three families of Wang, Zhang, and Lu to compete for two places!
There are also the county posts that have been given up by these companies. Should we take away a few important ones at this time? And distribute the rest to seven or eight large households in the country. It won’t be enough, right?
In other words, this group of people also reacted immediately. This anti-customer Wu Xiang wanted to take these things to see the effects, and what he was going to say next was probably the key.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work." Sure enough, after Gongsun Xun sat back grandly, he immediately turned around and gave instructions.
Wang Xiu, who had been silent all the time, nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then walked down holding the wooden box in his hand. And every time he arrived at a few cases, Yang Kai on his left helped to lift the wooden cover of the box, and then the one on his right held the wooden box.
Zhao took out a portion of the things in the wooden box and distributed them. At this moment, no one dared to neglect, so they quickly stood up and took the things respectfully.
This is a piece of paper, written in black and white, with dense terms written on it. However, anyone who can come here can naturally understand the document, so after looking at it by the firelight on the left and right, I was convinced.
It turned out that the paper was clear. First there was a line of big characters, called:
Handan County two-year plan.
Below the big characters are a list of things, from top to bottom, regardless of the details inside, here are the following things:
First, use both suppression and appeasement to allow the refugees in the Taihang Mountains in the west of Handan to return to their hometowns, or to integrate local residents into households;
Second, check the household registration, number of people, acres of land, and number of establishments;
Third, establish public schools and reorganize sacrifices;
Fourth, follow the example of Duke Bai's action of regulating the Fuyang River in the south of Handan City, and regulate the Gelu River in the north of the city to build water conservancy.
Frankly speaking, among the four things, no one of them seems out of place in the current situation:
Maybe it will be very difficult to clean up the Taihang Mountains, after all, things in the mountains are too difficult to deal with, but the difficulty of this matter is mainly concentrated on Gongsun Xun's own operation. All the powerful people here need to pay are only a small amount of military rations and guides;
Perhaps the management of the Gelu River will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is absolutely politically correct. Even if someone gets away with it behind the scenes, no one can object to it on the surface.
It may also be the last one to clean up the household registration, and the establishment of the number of people is a bit sensitive for the various ethnic groups who hide their household registration, but after these few days of tossing, Gongsun Xun's threat of force has been displayed. If he does not accept it, he will exterminate the clan, and it is obvious at this time to be open and honest.
There is a feeling of letting things go, and the calculation is just to ensure that it will be counted as a gift in the future. It is just a disguised form of paying money to ensure safety, which is not unacceptable.
but……
"Junhou." In desperation, Zhang Shu, who theoretically has not yet resigned as county magistrate, could only stand up in the eyes of the people around him, hold the thin piece of paper in both hands, salute and speak. "About Junhou's plan.
, we wholeheartedly agree, but there is one thing..."
"It's just Mr. Zhang's request. There's no need to be restrained." Gongsun Xun responded easily. "I spread this to everyone because I want to be open and honest and accept suggestions."
"Junhou." After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Shu spoke frankly. "From my perspective, these things are all excellent. If one or two of them can be accomplished, it will be enough to disgrace the county."
Two thousand stones are known as capable ministers, not to mention that the monarch and his ministers are composed of one county magistrate and four officials? However..."
"What if?"
"However, there are too many things to do, and I am afraid that I am unable to handle them." Zhang Shu said sincerely. "The first thing requires military rations and soldiers; the second thing requires the full cooperation of all the tribes in our country; the third thing requires the full cooperation of all the tribes in our country.
Not to mention the three things, the fourth thing requires a large-scale mobilization of strong men and men of the people in the country. Therefore, if these three things are put together, even if all the tribes in our country are willing to do their best to help the princes, I am afraid it will be too
Make bricks without straw!"
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard the last sentence: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood... I never said that these four things must be done together, and I never said that all four things must be done."
Hearing this, Zhang Juncheng couldn't help but be shocked: "The Lord is saying...?"
"What I mean is very simple." Gongsun Xun sat at the top and talked eloquently to the people below. For a while, except for the sound of cutting meat and removing bones when killing sheep, he was the only voice. "These four things are done in sequence, and
If one thing is not accomplished, then do not do the next thing. As for the fact that I am inviting you to Wei Gong’s banquet today, in addition to telling you about the order of the country, I also want to ask you to discuss the order of these four things...
…”
Everyone let out a sigh of relief... In this case, it would appear more sincere.
"It's better to start by building a school first." Someone said impatiently. "Look at what is said on this paper. After the school is established, Wei Gong will be invited to stay in the school as a lecturer. Even Junhou will also teach "Mao's Poems" in the school.
" and "Korean Poems"... In this way, if you and I send our children to school, don't we become students of Wei Gong? Or become the disciples of the elder Liu Gong and the famous scholar Lu Gong in the world?!
"
The person who said this obviously wanted to avoid the most important thing, because it is the easiest thing to do, and the key is that it does not require the efforts of all the tribes... It seems that it will benefit?
However, the person who spoke seemed not to notice the surrounding situation. Gongsun Xun was setting pots and killing sheep, forcing Zhao Ping, who was in his twenties, to cry like a child; and then he didn't know how to persuade Wei Songrang.
Two filial piety and honest people have come out to enrich the various clans in the country from top to bottom. How can you avoid the important and take the easy? If you don't say, "Give me a peach and give me a Qiongyao in return," you are just looking at the people standing behind you.
In front of so many samurai, this first thing must be expressed no matter what, right?
Therefore, as soon as this person said something, he was sprayed back by a group of people who understood.
However, after spraying this person back, these people are actually somewhat inconsistent... For example, the three families of Zhang, Wang, and Lu, although they have lost their county positions, their importance of filial piety and integrity cannot be compared with anything else. Choose two out of three.
Planting something seemed both stressful and motivating, and since Gongsun Xun was always interested in fishing, they were eager to give it a try, and even proposed to renovate the Gelulu River!
It seems that he wants to show his strength!
As for the smaller wealthy households and large households, due to lack of strength, they are inevitably a little timid about building water conservancy projects, fearing that too much manpower will be deployed, which will have a negative impact on their production and life.
Of course, these people also have other thoughts... First of all, compared to the three powerful families, they actually don't have many illegal things; secondly, now that they have obtained the county position, they also want to use this position to show some abilities; finally, they need to do something for them.
After Gongsun Xun left office, he thought about it, so he wanted to join forces to suppress the three powerful companies and then replace them.
Therefore, they actually wanted to start with the most sensitive matter, which was to check the household registration, population, and training personnel.
For a time, the two groups of people came and went, arguing fiercely.
What's interesting is that just when the two groups were in a stalemate, the chiefs of the Handan family and the Li family actually proposed a new plan after looking at each other... They suggested starting from the first thing, that is
Clean up the Taihang Mountains!
This suggestion has the feeling of testing Gongsun Xun's ability... If this domineering monarch comes up and falls in the Taihang Mountains, can the situation in the country be divided? Why do these three noble families withdraw from the public discussion on filial piety and integrity?
Can the matter be discussed again?
At this moment, the Wei family manor inevitably became more lively, and even the Yi Cong standing guard with spears and the county soldiers all looked sideways.
I don't know how long it took, but the cauldron was already boiling to the point where water had to be added again. The two Xianbei people also drained the sheep's blood early, peeled off the sheep's skin, and waited for the meat to be cut into the pot... But Gongsun Xun just sat upright.
At the head of the table, he held a glass of wine and savored it, but said nothing, which made everyone helpless.
"Everyone, I have something to say about this matter!" At this moment, Wei Song, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, causing everyone to fall silent.
"I'm about to invite Mr. Wei to see you." Gongsun Xun immediately raised his glass.
"What I mean is very simple," Wei Song said sternly, rolling up his sleeves. "You each have your own agenda and are at odds with each other, but have you ever considered the issue of weather? Have you ever considered that these four things can be mutually exclusive?"
Connected?”
Everyone was startled, even Gongsun Xun couldn't help but glance at Wei Song... After all, this was a master who had served as the prime minister.
"First let's clean up the mountainous area and organize the households into the people." Wei Song typed the table with his hands and said seriously. "Isn't it the best time in the summer when there is no harvest? This is the best time. We can use food to induce those people.
After the runaways and refugees in the mountains accept guidance from the government and receive relief from the government, it is easier for them to trust the government again. Even habitual bandits who have become vicious are the easiest to deal with at this time due to lack of food!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"There is also the census of household registration," Wei Song continued to talk. "Why should we check the household registration and land, and how many people should we compile? Isn't it for the sake of fair calculation of wealth and the expansion of financial resources? This kind of thing is actually suitable for the taxation after the autumn.
Work together in parallel to save manpower. Moreover, during the autumn harvest, the size of the fields can be seen at a glance, and it is easier to determine whether the fields are good or bad!"
After hearing this, everyone was extremely convinced and couldn't help but sit upright.
"As for establishing a school and allowing children from various families to enroll in school..." Wei Song sighed. "Have you forgotten when is the time to promote filial piety and integrity? It is October, which is also after the autumn harvest! At this time, everyone gathers together,
If a talented person is promoted from the three families of Zhang, Wang and Lu, shouldn't the children of the other families just stay and go to school?"
At this point, let alone the following people, even Wang Xiu, who had always remained calm, couldn't help but stare at the old Prime Minister of Lu... Because when Gongsun Xun worked with him to organize this plan, he was originally
According to this.
"Wait until October," Wei Song said freely without any scruples at this time. "If Gongsun County Lord had cleaned up the mountainous area and stabilized the public order in the summer, he had shown his talents and let everyone
There were no more doubts; then, through the autumn harvest, the household registrations and field acres were checked, and the actual strength of Handan was understood, and a number of people were organized to facilitate mobilization; finally, at this time, the promise was fulfilled, Xiaolian was introduced, and Xiaolian was introduced.
We built schools and held sacrifices to unite people... Then why can’t we take the opportunity to dig ditches and build water conservancy projects during the slack time in winter?!"
At this point, Wei Song took a deep breath and then continued: "Everyone, building water conservancy is a major event. It requires almost mobilizing the entire force of Handan, and it also has to go through the test of spring floods and summer floods, and repairs can be made at any time.
It can be considered a success. Therefore, unless the prestige, virtue, and strength of the ruler coexist, it cannot be easily implemented! As for Wu Jihou's plan, one, two, three, and four may seem unreasonable, but in fact they are all in accordance with the laws of heaven and the law.
As long as the first three things are done according to the order of time and order, and he and the county have gained prestige, strength, and virtue, the last big thing can be carried out! Everyone, you are here arguing and fighting for your own personal gain.
Come on, don’t you see Wuyouhou’s hard work? Do you think he just throws this thing out casually for his personal achievements and reputation? It’s really hard for an old man like me to stand!"
Everyone was stunned.
Gongsun Xun put his hands on his hands and laughed: "You know me, Duke Wei! You two... cook the mutton and serve it to everyone. If you have no doubts about this two-year plan, please sign the plan."
In exchange for the meat in my pot!"
The Han people attach great importance to trust and commitment. If you write your name in black and white, it will be public opinion in the country and everyone will accept it. After signing, you should not use this document in exchange for Wuyouhou's "meat in the pot". Don't be too explicit.
This is almost equivalent to an oath... Of course, it is just a unilateral oath made by the Zhao Kingdom to Gongsun Xun, and the status of master and slave is extremely obvious.
However, who would not want to sign at this time? Even the two clan heads of the Handan family and the Li family were very excited... In the past two years, they could not compete for filial piety and integrity. With the endorsement of Gongsun Xun and Wei Song, they have basically become
The outcome is finalized, and in this case, one thing at a time, if the things in this plan really come true, Zhao State will almost have a new look. Wouldn't it be good for them?
Besides, now that the sword and ax are at the back, all the tribes in the country are on the left and right, and then a pot of mutton is boiling in front of you... Where is the place to release Qi, and where is the time to release Qi?
Not to mention, after the pen and ink were presented, Wei Song was actually the first person to sign the pen and ink, and even used his own private seal.
In such a situation, it was natural that no one else could continue to think about it. The two clan leaders, the Handan clan and the Li clan, looked at each other, and each of them simply started writing... Then came a group of powerful and wealthy people headed by Zhang Shu... Finally, they drank and watched a show.
The officials of King Zhao were actually forced by Zhao Ping to sign their names, but they didn't know what the use was! Could it be that they could use King Zhao's private money to build the river?
After a while, the still-dry documents were put away, and the steaming mutton was placed on everyone's desk. Gongsun Xun finally stood up proudly with his glass of wine and said euphemistically:
"For Wei Gongshou!"
Everyone did not dare to neglect, and stood up one after another, shouting in confusion: "For the longevity of Wei Gong! For the longevity of Wuyou Hou!"
Immediately, they all sat down and shared mutton, vegetables and wine.
For a time, the 'Hongmen Banquet', which was originally expected to be gloomy and gloomy, turned out to be a great time for both guests and hosts. In the evening, almost everyone rested in the Wei family's manor.
………………
In the evening, frogs were croaking outside the window. In the vacated upper room, Gongsun Xun, who had had a few more drinks, was talking to Wang Xiu, who had greatly surprised him, and said some random words:
"I hope Uncle Zhi won't blame me this time."
"What did the Lord say?" Wang Xiu was puzzled. "How could I blame the Lord?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Although I told Shuzhi about today's actions long ago, I still feel guilty for letting these powerful men go without letting you take full credit. In fact, I also know that these county officials have all been killed.
I deserve it. It doesn't matter if all those powerful families are exterminated. However, I hope Shuzhi can understand my difficulties."
Wang Xiu also found it funny: "Why are you like this? How can I, Wang Shuzhi, be a murderer? I said that day, it's not that I like to contain the strong and support the weak, but that the strong don't love themselves, and the weak have nothing to rely on...
…Isn’t what the monarch is doing now just to regulate these powerful people and make the people dependent? In this case, how can I blame the monarch? Besides, it’s not that I don’t understand the truth behind this.
Without these tycoons and big households, how could Handan be able to govern? Even if we crack down on the tycoons, we can only select the most excessive ones to establish their power."
Gongsun Xun let out a long sigh and then lay down on his back.
"But Lord, I do have something unclear." Wang Xiu, who was sitting opposite, suddenly became serious again.
"Tell me." Gongsun Xun had already lied down on the couch.
"The kings and princes leave room for powerful people. I actually understand that to do things, they need their cooperation. But why should we take things that belong to the family, layer upon layer, and extend favors to the people? Throughout the ages..."
"Throughout the ages, many capable ministers and officials have only attacked the powerful, but no one has touched the nobles." Gongsun Xun said with a smile. "Everyone knows the truth. If you do this, the nobles will stand by and watch because it is none of their business.
The people will praise the officials for their wisdom, and the local predicament will be temporarily alleviated... However, once these capable ministers and officials leave, the rest of the powerful and the lower-level wealthy people who were originally suppressed by the powerful will swarm in and become
With the new tyranny, things are still bad.”
"What do you mean by the Lord, this can lead to long-term peace and stability?" Wang Xiu was puzzled. "The powerful will rebound, but the noble family will not?"
"How do I know?" Gongsun Xun looked up at the beams above his head and sighed. "Maybe it is really effective, maybe it will be worse. However, since the great ancestor built the tripod, aristocratic families, powerful people, and common people have been crushing each other.
The chaotic situation of oppression and interdependence has not changed in hundreds of years. However, the old methods that this dynasty has insisted on for hundreds of years have gradually become ineffective. In this case, no matter good or bad, there must be some new methods for the politicians.
?And what happened today, no matter what, at least tried to unite the power of the country."
Wang Xiu was speechless for a while, and then he sighed: "We can only try our best. But the king must know clearly that even if this government can be successful, it may not last long... The family has been in government for generations, connecting the center.
, and they have done nothing immoral, how can they be so easy to offend?"
Gongsun Xun smiled and said nothing. In fact, he understood some truths better than Wang Xiu.
The former monopolizes knowledge and official positions, while the latter monopolizes social wealth and even a considerable portion of the population. When the two are regarded as one, their power is almost invincible... Because before the spread of knowledge, with
Opposing these people is like fighting against themselves.
We can even put it another way, the protagonists of this era are originally these people. In the previous hundreds of years, it was a balancing game between the Center and these people; in the next hundred or so years, after the empire collapsed, the heroes among these people realized the seriousness of the situation.
Sex, and then trying to stand up and reestablish order in the game.
They are really indispensable.
Of course, Aunt Gongsun might be able to say such an extremely insightful summary on a whim, but her son would never be able to say it... In fact, this Handan Ling only had some vague concepts, and then he acted like him and
As Wang Xiu said, make some new attempts, or use experimental methods to meet the coming chaos.
Yes, Wang Xiu is right, the aristocratic clan is more difficult to deal with, but from Gongsun Xun's point of view, isn't the world going to change drastically in a few years, isn't the social order going to be reorganized?
At that time, once the central authority collapses, the gap between the aristocratic families and the powerful will disappear immediately, because the political power at that time was established in the states and counties. These powerful states and counties, which usually have huge wealth and population, will quickly disappear.
Combined with the local warlords, they gained political power and transformed into a new kind of aristocratic clan...which had both political power and local economic strength.
At this time, we can no longer simply use the idea of attacking powerful people to deal with them. The rulers need to use a method that both fights and pulls, and can also maintain order to deal with these mixtures of noble families and powerful people.
And this time, it was an attempt that Gongsun Xun made after thinking hard... First of all, he still had to fight against the extremely illegal powerful people, and he had to unconditionally support Wang Xiu's law enforcement efforts and endorse him; however, after fighting against the powerful people, he had to start from
Down the family line, certain powers that were originally monopolized were delegated layer by layer in order to seek to unite everyone to the maximum extent possible.
Of course, this attempt is very naive and is only a temporary measure based on the special situation of the absence of Prime Minister Xiang Xu. It may even cost more than the gain... As Wang Xiu said, he offended someone from the Zhao family in the three dynasties.
And these people are not easy to offend.
However, when everyone else was still confused and confused about the road conditions, Gongsun Xun was at least conscious and took a tentative step into the river blocking the road. And if he could still stand firm after taking this step
, then this Handan Order will not be in vain!
As for how to determine whether it is stable or not... isn't today's plan the best way to check?
Wei Song said that constructing water conservancy projects, which is a national undertaking, requires prestige, strength, and virtue... However, if prestige and virtue are replaced by the words "people's hearts," then in troubled times, isn't this what we will be competing for?
However, Wei Song's attitude today is interesting.
After thinking about it, his thoughts were complicated. Gongsun Xun was also hazy for a while, and he fell asleep... Although Wang Xiu was still awake, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he went out and called the maid in to serve him. He also put aside those unnecessary thoughts and hurriedly
Went to rest.
……………………
"Have everything been arranged?" At the same moment, Wei Song, who was sitting cross-legged under the window in the backyard of the manor, heard the sound of the door opening and immediately asked.
"Replying to your lord, everything has been arranged." Wei Chang sighed. "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise we might not have been able to make arrangements for so many people."
"That's good." Wei Song nodded slightly, and then continued to look out the window, seemingly staring at the Milky Way above his head in a daze.
"Sir!" After a while, Wei Chang finally couldn't hold it back any longer.
"Aren't you angry?" Wei Song asked without looking back.
"Yes!" Wei Chang said frankly. "And it's not just about my gains and losses. The key is that everyone in the country, even those unscrupulous and lawless powerful men, have all made compensation. Only our three families with outstanding virtues have lost.
, and in the eyes of the other two families, we are still in danger of breaking our promise... This careless act is really excessive."
"Maybe." Wei Song sighed. "Chang'er... you are old enough. Originally, this act of filial piety and integrity was a sure thing, but it was postponed for two years. I can understand your anger. But, if you
When discussing matters in the clan, you can't just be angry, you also need to take two things into consideration."
"Please give me some advice, sir." Wei Chang immediately bowed his head.
"First of all, people have knives." Wei Song looked up at the starry sky, his expression as usual. "The knife on Wu Wuhou's waist has never been unsheathed, but Zhao Ping's fear and words are not false. Both you and I
You know, if that knife is really unsheathed, no matter how noble or powerful you are, no one in the Zhao Kingdom can do it...The Shen family is not just the Shenmeng family, but no one is here today.
, what do you think will be the fate of the remaining people in their clan? Where did these righteous followers and county soldiers come from? I'm afraid that Zhao Ping jumped out just in time, so he didn't have to worry about it and came up with something pretentious.
Is that big pot really just for cooking sheep?"
Wei Chang also took a breath, but his words were still tough: "But using force to coerce is ultimately despicable... The people in the border counties are really barbaric."
"This brings us to the second thing." Wei Song said slowly. "They did not use force to coerce in the end. What do you think of today's plan?"
Wei Chang immediately chuckled: "Didn't Father already say it? It's well intentioned, and if everything goes well, I'm afraid it's really feasible."
"Then if everything really goes well and is finally done, what will happen?" Wei Song chased after his son.
"this……"
"Let me tell you!" Wei Song finally turned around. "If the refugees in the Taihang Mountains were appeased, the bandits would be appeased, the household registrations, population, and acres hidden by the famous families in the country would be cleared, and the public schools would be established, and the Gelulu
Once the river is under control, Handan can be said to have entered a state of governance... In this situation, two places for filial piety and honesty are nothing more than four ounces of introduction. Our Wei family has been based in Handan for hundreds of years. Don't we have such a big heart? As a family,
So being a member of the world, isn’t it all about knowledge and virtue?! Are you so anxious to promote filial piety and integrity two years later?!"
"Father, please forgive me." When Wei Chang heard his own father's tone becoming more and more serious, he quickly knelt down to apologize. "The villain is not an unscrupulous person. It's just that today I saw Wu Wuhou telling lies and using his power.
I feel resentful for oppressing my father..."
"Get up, I don't mean to blame you." Wei Song also sighed. "I'm angry with myself... Do you know why I stopped serving as an official after I was dismissed from the post of Prime Minister of the State of Lu?"
"grown ups?"
"On that day, your uncle and I were together in the countryside and we were called the Second Wei Dynasty. Then we traveled together to study in Ruyingwanluo, and then became officials together. Finally, we were appointed to the throne of two thousand shi successively. He has an impatient personality, I have a slow temperament, he is bold, and I act steadily.
, he is good at doing things, and I am good at recognizing people. Therefore, people in the country have always said that our brothers are in perfect harmony and serve as role models for each other. But they don’t know that I have known since I was a child that your uncle is a phoenix and I am just a pheasant.
That's all...the feathers are equally gorgeous, and the wings are equally fluttering. One can fly to the sycamore tree to build a nest, but the other can only rest on a haystack to catch its breath."
When he said this, Wei Song couldn't help but frown slightly: "When I was in office in the State of Lu, the people's livelihood there was also difficult, and the tyrants were excessive. I also wanted to make a difference. But when I really dealt with it, I realized that I was so incompetent. Don't
It is said that Wulihou turned his hands to make clouds and rain like this today, gathering the power of all the clans in the country to make big plans while talking and laughing. Even though he wanted to deal with a powerful family at the beginning, there was no one like Wang Shuzhi who stood behind Wulihou.
His ability... was first used as a delaying strategy, and then someone pinched a sore spot and forced him to resign and leave."
His own father exposed his own shortcomings. As a son of a human being, Wei Chang didn't know what to say.
"Zhongmao (characterized by Wei Chang)!"
"yes!"
"You need to remember that the family can continue. First, it depends on the inheritance of the family. Don't easily provoke strong people who resist. Now that they have knives, and they are the chief officials who are in charge of us, you are not allowed to feel resentful; second, you must be virtuous.
As a support, others are doing promising things, and we cannot abandon our public aspirations because of personal grudges, so you should not feel resentful either... Only by remembering these two things can the Wei family survive for a long time."
"The adults really know what you are saying, and the children will learn from it!" Wei Chang bowed to the end.
"Where are the true words of wisdom?" Wei Song turned to look at the starry sky outside the window and sighed. "The situation is difficult and the road ahead is chaotic... I am a hairless old pheasant. I can only look at the river and sigh when I see that I can't fly across it.
Just two screams... It’s late at night, you should go and have a rest!"
Wei Chang bowed again and left, but suddenly turned back: "But... Your Excellency has always been known for knowing people, so what kind of person do you think Wulihou is today? Can it last long?"
Wei Song turned back and glanced at his son, but he didn't shy away from it: "I don't know if it will last long or not, but what he did today is like the Emperor Gaozu being equipped with the Overlord Blade, so that's probably it!"
Wei Chang was horrified and shocked.
——————I am the dividing line of hair loss——————
"Taizu was appointed as the order of Handan, and Yinyi took up his duties from two hundred. In the next ten days, he first abolished the office of a county official, restored the clan and punished the treacherous Shen family in the country, and then led the army to gather the famous families in the country. In the garden of the Wei family, everyone was worried and uneasy. However, Taizu arrived with his sword in hand. He ignored other matters and talked about the complicated government affairs of the country, from suppressing the bandits to building schools and planting fields. Everyone was great. To comfort each other, they all swore to obey each other. After the banquet, everyone returned home. Wei Song, the elder of the Wei family, was also the prime minister of the Lu State. He was a famous minister for generations and was famous for his knowledge of people. However, he closed the door and gasped. His son asked in confusion. Then he said: 'How can I not be surprised when I see the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty holding the Overlord Blade and making a three-chapter agreement with the father of Zhao today?!'" - "Shishuoxinyu".
