The weather is slightly cooler, and it is September as heavy as a hook.
This year, the Double Ninth Festival, which is the ninth day of September in the seventh year of Jian'an, seems to be calm. Because as early as a few days ago, Tongquetai officially issued a notice, saying that it will be the second day after the Double Ninth Festival, that is, in mid-September.
On the same day, an extra court meeting will be held. At that time, in addition to the military camps of various departments and temples that must stay behind, all officials under Ye, who have a rank of more than 600 shi according to the old Han system, or a so-called grade of seven or more, can participate.
Go to court meetings and speak openly.
For the officials in Ye, this temporary and rare imperial meeting seemed to be a matter of course.
Because as Yizhou was resolved so quickly in a way that was beyond everyone’s expectations, many plans and policies both internal and external to the Yan State became out of date. In addition, there were also other issues such as the autumn harvest harvest summary, the upcoming mid-September Ye
The university's archery science strategy, the sudden confrontation between Yushitai and Jing'antai... and so on are the major events that need to be faced. In the Yan Kingdom, Yan actually controlled ten of the thirteen states of the original Han Dynasty.
In half of the situations, it seems particularly important.
To put it bluntly, it all depends on Xu Yuanzhi.
You know, although everyone knew before that the so-called "overthrow of the Han Dynasty" that Yan Gong privately gradually and unconcealed was becoming a certainty, but before Yizhou was captured in this way, this thing was still a
It is something that exists in imagination and requires a specific amount of time to complete...
But who would have thought that the internal power struggle in Yizhou would have reached such a low level? Who would have thought that a young swordsman, leading twenty people into Shu, under the banner of Duke Yan, would conquer Yizhou with little fanfare
Woolen cloth?
But once Yizhou was easily acquired, everyone suddenly woke up. It turned out that the day of overthrow of the Han Dynasty was right in front of them.
Under this situation, almost everyone, from Duke Yan himself to all parties in the government and the opposition, were caught off guard and were forced to reveal their old ways by the situation.
After all, people are restless, and everyone is trying to take advantage of the last opportunity to express their demands.
Back to the present, when the Yan Kingdom was founded, Gongsun Xun himself was just a Duke of Yan, not a king. In addition, he was born as a martial artist in Liaoxi, and he had always been unscrupulous, so he did not have any grand etiquette... However, when the three provinces
When hundreds of powerful bureaucrats from the Four Stages, Six Ministries and Twelve Temples gathered together in the open space in front of the main hall in the middle of Tongquetai, most people could not help but stand in awe, and arranged themselves in order out of bureaucratic instinct.
.
To put it bluntly, these hundreds of people are actually maintaining the operation of the center of the world. No one can deny the significance of the existence of these hundreds of people, let alone themselves?
Among the queues at the censor's desk without the serious official, the middle censor Shiyi was wearing the standard Liao brocade official uniform. The chest and hem of the cyan official uniform were embroidered with white pheasants, which represented the person's fifth rank and civil official status. He wore a
The Erliang Jinxian crown, with the black ribbon bronze seal of the six hundred stone salary rank, is in a position second only to the two Yushi Shaocheng.
He did not look particularly serious like the two censors in front of him, nor did he whisper to each other like the young seventh-grade censors behind him. Instead, he looked at the entire scene in front of the palace with a calm and calm gaze.
In the open space in front of the palace, the most eye-catching ones are of course Prime Minister Jia Xu, Prime Minister Shen Pei on the left, and Lou Gui, Prime Minister on the right. The three of them are wearing specially gifted purple robes with the image of unicorns, and they are standing in a casual posture.
The person at the front was laughing and talking about something in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned with the complicated situation and political trends in front of him.
After three people, on the right is a group of high-ranking officers who have just gained the title of marquis and happened to be stationed back in Ye, or simply transferred back to Ye. These people are also embroidered with unicorns, but they are just the red Liao brocade robes of ordinary officials, but
They had no scruples, laughing with each other, and chatting with the three prime ministers in front of him from time to time as usual... Among these people, there was Zhang Liao, whose accumulated merits had reached the Han Dynasty standard of 10,000 households, and some who only had 2,000 households but were appointed as central protectors.
Yang Kai, who holds an important position in the army, Tian Yu, a one-eared man with a household of three thousand households, and another important minister who has never said anything but stood silently, Gao Shun, who has an annual salary of eight thousand households.
As for the position to the left behind the three prime ministers, the situation is a bit complicated.
Among them, there was Wang Xiu, the envoy of the finance desk who was silent and bowed his head; there was Han Dang, the envoy of the privy desk who almost left the queue and joined the queue of the generals and marquis; and Jing An, who looked up at the sky, thoughtfully
Tai Zheng envoys Xi Zhong...these three are also red-robed Qilin officials.
After all, the so-called Qixiang, like the superior marquises of the founding military, are naturally superior to civil and military officials, and are higher than ordinary officials.
And if you look to the left along the opera line, you will see the Yushitai queue!
Yes, the Yushitai and the Jing'antai queue, the target of his massive attack, are next to each other. It's no wonder that the two Yushi Shaocheng are so serious. It's because the opera loyalists are not far in front of them, and they
But there is not enough reliance.
Shiyi glanced at several truly outstanding civil and military figures, and sighed rarely. He knew in his heart that these people, as long as Yan Gong gave orders, would make their choice without hesitation, regardless of civil and military skills, regardless of reason, regardless of ability, regardless of right or wrong.
Blind obedience... This is also the reason why Yushitai had such a great reputation in Yexia before and had a strong sense of presence, because facing a de facto founding monarch, a figure who was destined to be compared with the ancestors of Emperor Qin, it was really difficult to
Very few people have the courage to speak out about the other person's fault.
But Tian Yuanhao and Yushitai dare to do this!
In fact, since returning from the labor reform in the north, Shi Yi, who has served as the middle censor (senior censor), only has special respect for two people. One is Tian Yuan Haotian, who does not care about his status as a subordinate and vigorously promotes himself to be the middle censor.
The other one is Duke Yan who dared to take the initiative to set up a Yushitai to supervise himself before the world was settled.
After thinking about this, Yi Fu turned his head and looked behind him.
After the sequence of three provinces and four departments, there is the queue of six departments. These six departments are directly under the three provinces, and together with the four departments, they constitute the core power collection of the center. The people here, especially the chief ministers of the six departments and the left and right ministers, such as
Wei Qian, Cui Min, Gao Yan and others are either calm and calm, or eager to try... Obviously, for these people, they may not be as comfortable as those who were born in Yuancong in the first three rows, but they also enjoy this new experience.
Talent development and respected status under the system.
Shi Yi knew very well what was going on. To use a fashionable new term after large-scale marquis awards were made on behalf of households with money, this was the sharing of dividends after Princess Yan took the initiative to transfer power... In the Later Han Dynasty, the position of the three princes
It is extremely high, and enjoys the power of personnel recruitment, but cannot hold a permanent position, nor can it directly control the actual power of running the country; while the Shangshutai holds the de facto central power, but its position is extremely humble, and it often requires additional posts to gain dignity.
Relatively speaking, Yan Gong not only returned to the early Han Dynasty and transferred the actual power of the prime minister, but also made important officials in the central government agencies such as the minister and the minister worthy of their name... The minister is the second rank, second only to the minister.
Qixiang and Zhoumu! The minister is of the third rank, so he might as well be at the same level as the county governor!
There are even rumors that in the future, with the end of military control in the Central Plains and the complete takeover of the four southern states, the imperial court is likely to take the opportunity to divide large counties on a large scale, lowering the county guards to the fifth-grade level. Then the ministers and ministers will become even more noble... and by doing so
, judging from the situation, there will not be much resistance from the local level, because there will be many more state pastors by then, and compared with the one-third possibility of being upgraded to state pastors, those large county governors will probably be more likely to be promoted to state pastors.
Willing to take the risk of changing to a smaller county.
Speaking of which, this is also a different type of restructuring bonus worthy of its name.
State pastors were not permanent in the past!
Although the governor of Liubaishi actually holds the power of a state and is respectfully called Fang Bo, if possible, who wouldn't want to serve for a few more years and be promoted to a first-class state pastor?
Shiyi thought of this and looked back at Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Peng Miao and other acquaintances who were in the back of the six-army formation, but couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that, taking advantage of the height advantage of the front row of the Yushitai,
He looked back and saw his benefactor, Kong Rong and Kong Wenju, ministers of Taichang Temple.
The reason for this is not to say that Kong Rong's Taichang Temple has any special status among the Twelve Temples... If we really want to talk about the special status, it is obviously responsible for the overall management of documents, and the Huangge Temple where archives are stored has more status. This is because Huangge Temple
In his early years, Qing Wang Xiang was the chief bookkeeper of Huangge in the palace of General Yan Gongwei, specializing in recording confidential texts. Today, he still directly serves Duke Yan in the cabinet. And because of Wang Xiang's existence, this institution has become the largest among the twelve temples in history.
A temple that is close to the core power.
As for Kong Rong, the reason why he stood out was because he was standing in front of the twelve temples and couldn't keep his figure steady. He kept wandering left and right, moving up and down, and for a while he stared at the purple and purple unicorn queue in front of him.
He was so entranced that he turned around and chatted with the other temple ministers, and then almost moved to the front of the six troops... When he looked up from a distance and saw Shi Yi, he nodded directly from a distance, seemingly in front of him.
What to remind.
Seeing this shape, Shi Yi was even more helpless, but could only pretend not to notice, and then looked away from the surrounding areas of Kong Rong, such as Gongsunyu, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, Zhao Ping, the minister of Weiwei Temple, Wangyi, the minister of Taipu Temple, and Sinong Temple.
Qing Fengfang and others passed by... but in the end they met Guo Tu, the Shaoqing of Banyin Temple.
By the way, Guo Tu is indeed quite capable. He was originally rejected by Jiang Ren and almost all the important ministers under Yan Gong, including Yan Gong himself, because of his character issues... However, this man returned from labor reform.
From the beginning, he was able to regain a foothold by publishing his own legal annotations, and then he was able to calmly join the official position during the collective pardon and appointment before Duke Yan went to the Central Plains; this is not counting, until the beginning of this year, there will be more people
This time he wrote a letter to discuss many matters involved in revising the laws of the Yan Kingdom. In the end, with his excellent legal knowledge, he was favored by Zuo Prime Minister Shenpei, and formally participated in the revision of various laws of the Yan Kingdom. With this great achievement, he became a
He is the one with the highest official position among the people who were demoted.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and some strange emotions akin to tacit understanding arose in Ziyi's heart... This is really strange, because Ziyu's character is generally recognized as upright, just like Guo Gongze.
His character is generally known as shameless, so how could the two of them be in tune with each other?
Finally, after inexplicably looking at each other, Guo Tu suddenly raised his lips to a corner beside him. Shiyi looked at him and discovered that he was probably one of the top seven people in the meeting, or even the top five with real political influence.
, that is, Dong Zhao, the shepherd of Jizhou, wearing a red unicorn robe!
At this time, the famous fat black man was smiling and leading the prefect of Wei County and others to stand in the farthest corner and observe everyone.
As for the fat and dark Dong Gongren, behind him were a group of white-horsed followers standing upright. The latter almost completely obscured the Zhangshui River in the distance.
Shiyi was confused in his heart, as if he didn't understand Guo Tu's instructions for a while, but he had already thought about it and didn't care about it, so he turned around and waited silently.
Just like that, Shiyi waited for a while, but suddenly he saw a person coming out of the palace. It was Ma Dai, the righteous guard. He saw him standing in front of the palace. After everyone was solemn, he raised his voice and announced:
"Your Highness has ordered that today is a special court meeting. Everything should be kept simple. There is no need to perform big rituals or be too strict with your manners. All you need to do is enter the palace in order and sit down to discuss matters!"
The whole place was silent, and after giving the order three times, the palace door behind Ma Dai was completely opened by a group of sword-wielding followers. When Ma Dai turned around and held the sword, he entered and stood at the foot of the palace. Jia Xu, the leader, and all the civil and military personnel
They also became completely serious and entered one after another!
As the imperial censor, Shi Yi was one of the first people to enter the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately noticed two particularly conspicuous things:
The seat that naturally belonged to Lord Yan actually had a nondescript and huge white tiger skin on it! The huge tiger head protruded from under the table, almost frightening one to death!
Those who knew, understood that this was a military officer from the county around Duke Yan, and he liked these nondescript things; those who didn’t know, thought he was in the stronghold of Zhang Yan, the former Zishan thief!
The other one is also a seat, specifically the chairs set up on the left and right in the middle of the hall... Of course most people only have futons, but the first three rows of civil and military seats have stools, especially the first row, with a total of eight on the left and right.
The Taiwei chair is particularly eye-catching.
Shiyi was filled with emotion, but he quickly lowered his head, followed Yi Cong's guidance and came to the table with his name on it, and sat still.
Suddenly, as hundreds of people entered in an orderly manner without any ceremony, Yan Gong and Sun Xun, dressed in black clothes and holding the broken blade in his arms, suddenly came from the back of the palace. Ma Dai, who was standing at the foot of the steps, had no time to say anything.
In a word, Prime Minister Jia Xu, Qixiang, and Jizhou Shepherd Dong Zhao stood up in a hurry and led all the civil and military officials to bow to Duke Yan in common courtesy.
"Sit down!" Gongsun Xun, who was directly on the tiger skin, waved his hands repeatedly, obviously disapproving. "It's time for you to salute... There are many things today, let's not delay! Where is the Prime Minister?"
Jia Xu, who had just sat down, immediately stood up.
"Have the rewards for Yizhou been decided?" Perhaps it was because he had just given groceries coupons to all the officials in Ye during the Double Ninth Festival yesterday, so Yan Gong didn't even bother to exchange greetings.
"Report to Your Highness, everything has been decided." Jia Xu stood up and answered calmly, but his eyes were inevitably attracted by the tiger head in front of him, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"The Central Plains, Lianghuai, Yizhou, and even Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, the policy of re-dividing the states, and the matter of going to the country to cut off counties all over the world cannot be delayed. This is a major event, and it should be formulated early, so as not to miss the current situation...
...And this matter involves too much, so you need to pay more attention to it, unite all the ministries and temples to work hard, and we must have a rough result before winter." Gongsun Xun simply ordered. "There must also be a rough personnel plan. By then, our monarchs and ministers will
Let’s talk again.”
"No!" Jia Wenhe did not dare to neglect and immediately bowed his head.
"Sit down." Gongsun Xun continued to roll call. "Shuzhi... report on the autumn harvest. Don't mention the numbers. Just talk about where there are problems."
"Report to Your Highness." Wang Xiu also simply stood up. "Last year, there were floods in Qingxu, coupled with military disasters, which slightly affected this year... If we take a rough look, the Central Plains and Xuzhou only harvest 80% of the harvest in an ordinary harvest year, and Qingzhou and Lianghuai have the rest.
The local harvest is about 90% of normal years. In addition, Shu, Sanfu, and Liangzhou are using troops this year, which also greatly delays production, but the harvest is only 70% to 80% of normal. Only Liaodong has a good harvest, and Shaanxi has a good harvest.
It’s just that the crops in the state’s fields are ripe.”
"Does that mean it's insufficient across the board?"
"yes."
“Can warehousing support people’s livelihood?”
"That's enough."
"Can we send troops south to pacify Jing and Yang?"
"If it is ensured that there will be no major disasters next year, it may be possible to support it, but if there is a loss, there may be trouble... Moreover, if Jing and Yang are captured, they will also need to be resettled after the war, and countless grains and materials will be needed.
Just like what the Central Plains spent this year." Wang Shuzhi answered very neatly, but also very straightforwardly.
"Shiwu, the minister of the Ministry of War! Shikuang, the young minister of Honglu Temple!" Gongsun Xun suddenly called out two incomprehensible names.
Shi Wu, Shi Kuang's uncle and nephew also had a sudden thought, and then they immediately hurried out of their respective teams and prostrated themselves in the palace.
"I told you, there is no need to worship today." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the main seat in the palace, touched the tiger fur next to his butt... This was a gift from Yang Xiu when he passed by to take office. "You ask Wei Yan for me
Brother, can he transport grain from Jiaozhou when I conquer Jingyang? If so, I can send troops after next spring. If not, I will have to wait until next autumn before trying to unify the world, and I will be late for half a year.
One is too peaceful.”
Uncle Kuang, a warrior warrior, felt his scalp numb, but he responded hurriedly. Not only did he claim that he would write a letter to Shi Xie, but he almost swore and swore that Shi Xie would definitely do something like this.
Civil and military officials throughout the dynasty looked at these uncles and nephews with a strange look... To be honest, no matter how embarrassed these uncles and nephews were at this time, if Shi Xie really surrendered from the state, the official fortune of this family would be uncertain.
How many lifetimes will it take to be prosperous?
After Wang Xiu sat down and the uncles and nephews from the scholar family retired, Gongsun Xun looked around and continued to say a few things, most of them crisp and clear. However, as time passed, he suddenly named another person: "
Where is Kong Wenju, Minister of Taichang Temple?"
Kong Rong immediately cheered up and stepped forward to salute.
"Kong Qing..." Gongsun Xun still had the same expression that made it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. "In a few days, it will be the day to make recommendations for the archery department at Yexia University. Mr. Zheng is already old, so you have to put more thought into it."
, we must help him with more chores to make this scientific examination smoother."
Kong Rong bowed his head and said again: "I am about to report this matter."
"Seriously."
"Your Highness." Kong Rong raised his head and spoke eloquently. "The main way to recruit scholars in the Yan Kingdom is to acquire scholars through archery science. However, for a long time, it has only been confined to Yexia University, and Zheng Gong is regarded as the leader of Confucianism in the world.
There is nothing wrong with being in charge of a university. However, after all, he is a minister of the Han Dynasty and a member of the Han Dynasty. So when he is in charge, is he selecting scholars for the Yan Dynasty or for the Han Dynasty? I have always been a little uneasy.
"
As Kong Wenju spoke these words, the originally silent hall became extremely quiet again... Many people's hearts jumped almost at the same time - someone finally spoke out.
"I take the liberty of resigning from the post of Minister of Taichang Temple of the State of Yan, and ask Zheng Zhenggong to be appointed Minister of Taichang Temple of the State of Yan!" In the silence of the whole hall, Kong Wenju continued to raise his voice loudly, and the sound was shocking for a while. "It's done,
The inside and outside of Yexia University should be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Taichang Temple of the State of Yan. In this way, the name is justified!"
"That's it?" Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, then he raised his knife and asked seriously.
"It's not just that." Kong Rong seemed to have received some encouragement from Gongsun Xun who was sitting on the tiger skin, and he spoke more openly. "I am the minister of Taichang Temple. I dare not neglect my daily life, and I often worry about the country.
Thinking about the way to recruit scholars... For example, the Yexia University system may have been barely adequate in the past, especially in Hebei Province. But now, with the resources of the gods, His Highness has suddenly regained control of the Central Plains, Lianghuai, Bashu, Nanyang, and is the best in the world.
In 1989, just one Yexia University is no longer enough to summarize the overall situation. I would like to take the liberty to make a special case. Xu Zhongyuan, Lianghuai, Nanyang, Bashu and other newly conquered areas bypassed Yexia University and went directly to Taichang.
Temple to participate in the selection..."
"This is inappropriate!" At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo Shenpei suddenly stood up and refuted. "If this is the case, is it unfair to the scholars from Hebei, Guanxi and other places who have studied hard at Yexia University?"
"Perhaps so." Kong Wenju seemed to have expected it, but he was neither humble nor overbearing, and responded calmly. "But has the Duke Shen ever thought about it? At this time, Duke Yan should win over the people of the world. Just like you, me, Qingzhou, Jizhou, etc., have long been influenced by Yan."
Gong Enze, you should be more generous at this time..."
Shen Pei was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "That's not what you said... Yexia University is not only about the region, but more importantly, the science and education policies there are different from those in the Central Plains and other places. For example, if you want to enter the household,
Department, Sinong Temple, requires excellent performance in the daily mathematics examination, and then specifically selects mathematics test papers as one of the main papers of the scientific examination. As for the mathematics textbooks based on the examination, it is basically Taishan Liu Yuanzhuo of Yexia University (the famous mathematics in the late Han Dynasty)
A new book co-edited by the Queen Mother) and the Queen Mother... In this case, if you ask Taichang Temple to specialize in the newly conquered lands in the south, how should you take the exam? "
"Since these are specialties added for the purpose of showing favor, why not temporarily abandon these exams and only use Confucian classics to evaluate character and family background to deal with it a little bit?" Kong Rong remained calm.
"This is even more unfair!" Shen Zhengnan frowned even more.
"Prime Minister Zuo, let's change the subject again." Kong Wenju suddenly laughed. "Isn't that what happened... This matter is a special case. It is just for Yan to announce his kindness to the world. If the world's scholars return to their hearts, why worry?
Is it a big deal?"
The judge hesitated for a moment, while Dong Zhao, who was sitting next to the two of them, couldn't help but glance at Yan Gong himself, who was starting to become very interested in the seat... To be honest, Dong Gongren was originally waiting for the stunned group at the Yushitai.
Touqing came out to clarify the matter. Who would have thought that Kong Wenju was so impatient? So straightforward?
It seems that I am crazy about wearing a unicorn robe!
Of course, there is no problem if you want to wear a unicorn robe. Everyone wants to wear it. However, this descendant of Kong Sheng is a little too narrow-minded and too self-righteous.
"Your Highness, please make a clear decision." Seeing that the judge was silent for a long time and Prime Minister Jia Xu closed his eyes again, Kong Rong finally couldn't help but ask Gongsun Xun directly for instructions.
"I probably understand Kong Qing's idea, but I don't understand it a little bit." Gongsun Xun asked Kong Rong curiously at the bottom of the steps with a smile. "Then why does Gu want to show kindness to the world's scholars?
Are there any benefits to doing this?"
Kong Rong couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hands and faced each other calmly: "Gong Yan, as the lord of the world, you cannot ask for favors from the people of the world. As the lord of the world, you should be kind and win the hearts of the world. This is a matter of course...
…”
"Is just doing this enough to win the hearts of the world?" Gongsun Xun seemed to have acquiesced in something, and he was increasingly unable to ask further questions.
"Maybe it's still not enough, but I am Taichang Qing, so I can only talk about these matters within my duties..." Kong Rong couldn't help laughing. "For other shortcomings, His Highness should ask the censor."
"Does the censor have a special performance today?" Gongsun Xun asked curiously.
"Report to Your Highness." Zhang Cheng, the imperial censor Zuocheng, came out and bowed to the Prime Minister. "There is no special performance, but there is an issue recently, and the ministers have reported it one after another, but there is no result. I would like to jointly play it again today..."
"If it is something that has been discussed before, Gu and Jia Xiang will naturally have a plan to reply. Why are you so anxious?" Gongsun Xun obviously guessed what the other party said.
"Because the people are so frightened that everyone is uneasy, I am not in a hurry when I am appointed as the censor!" Zhang Cheng bowed his head in response, and the censors behind him also stood up one after another and bowed their heads in their seats.
"Is it the case that Jing'an Taizheng envoy Xi Zhong violated the rules and secretly had an affair with the twenty warriors of Guo Jia, the prefect of Hanzhong?" Gongsun Xun had no way to hide, so he simply pointed it out.
"Yes!" Many censors behind Zhang Chengdai responded.
But Xi Zhong got up early and stood in the hall.
"Zhicai, do you have anything to say?"
"I have nothing to say. This move indeed violates the system." Xi Zhong bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "I am willing to be punished."
"Fine him three months' salary, demote him to deputy envoy to Jing'antai, and assume the power and responsibilities of the envoy... Give him a stool." Gongsun Xun seemed to give him a severe punishment, and when Ma Dai personally moved an ordinary stool, Yan
Gongfu looked at Zhang Cheng again. "The Yushitai impeached Xi Zhong for violating the rules, and the Xi Zhong pleaded guilty. If he was punished like this, could the Yushitai have any other opinions?"
Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, lowered his head to face each other, and then returned to his seat. The other censors looked at each other in silence. Not everyone hesitated, but in the end they all sat back down. Shiyi sat back down calmly and neither quickly nor slowly.
But on the other side, seeing Yi Nai sitting back without saying a word, Kong Rong couldn't help but become anxious and couldn't help but speak in person: "Your Highness, this matter has caused discussion in the country. It is not just because of the actor's dereliction of duty. In fact,
These are the people who died privately in Jingantai, and they can hardly be called upright and upright... If you want to calm people's hearts and show kindness to the world, you should go to Jingantai to gain power first!"
Shiyi sighed secretly in his heart, and Guo Tu couldn't help but sneer in the distance.
But Yan Gong and Sun Xun didn't understand again: "Wenju, how can you show kindness to the world? Show kindness to the world, and the world will return to its heart, so what can you do?"
"Your Highness..." Kong Rong clearly noticed the strangeness in Gongsun Xun's attitude, and because the original helper Duo did not show up, he couldn't help but become a little panicked. "In this world, what I just said is very clear! In the past, Emperor Qin destroyed the Liu Dynasty.
The country treated the nobles of the six countries harshly, so the second generation died; when the ancestor Guangwu conquered the world, he encountered a rebellion, but he was a little slow down, just because he was afraid of losing people's hearts... Now there is an earthquake in western Liaoning, and the Han emperor has his eldest son.
If something like this happens again, I'm afraid people will talk about it, saying that His Highness has lost his moral character and is not worthy of the Han Dynasty."
"I understand. Kong Qing has been talking for a long time. Does he mean to say that only by winning the hearts of the people can he defeat the Han Dynasty with Yan?" Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed. "Only by winning the hearts of the people can I ascend the throne and become the emperor and the master of the world. Is this what you mean?"
Kong Rong was immediately embarrassed and speechless.
"What is there to cover up?" Gongsun Xun looked around and smiled. "On the side of the Han Emperor, the queens all rebelled. Dong Zhuo even poisoned the queen mother and the young emperor, and Yuan Shao did not recognize the emperor now.
, How can there be any dignity in this world? And what about you? You are all ministers of the Yan Kingdom and my personal ministers... What can you say? And it is no longer what it used to be. Everyone has paper and pen in their homes, and everyone has it.
We are all smart people. If we go back and write some rumors in our diary, it will always be passed on to future generations. Some things are secretive and embarrassing!"
Kong Rong sighed and was about to put down his baggage and talk again.
However, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the tiger skin, suddenly leaned on the seat behind him and sneered at him: "However, when did I say that I must be the emperor? I was originally a man from western Liaoning, with no talent or virtue. He only watched Emperor Ling bring disaster to the country.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's tyranny, the world was in turmoil, and the sea was burning, so he drew his sword, led the heroes to clean up the world, and led the heroes to lash out at home... It took only a few years to reach this point! As for the position of emperor, how can I be alone today?
If you say you have never thought about this situation, you will be laughed at and hypocritical by the world! It is true that you have never thought about it. But when I read "Mencius" alone, there is a saying, Wan Zhong accepts it without arguing about etiquette and righteousness. What does Wan Zhong do to me?
How can I add more? And today I also want to ask Kong Qing, since I am not worthy enough to inherit the Han Dynasty and accept the world, then if I buy the world with my official salary and leniency, how can the world add to me? To put it bluntly, this position of emperor
, then there is. But if there really is no such destiny, it will be enough to comfort the world in this life. Why not return the government to the emperor at that time, lead all the private ministers back to the western Liaoning fiefdom, and sit back and watch the world be peaceful?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall. People like Wei Weiqing Zhao Ping even laughed out loud, while Kong Rong's face turned red and he could hardly speak.
But at this moment, someone suddenly spoke angrily from far behind: "Kong Wenju invited a famous businessman, named Yan Gong, for selfish reasons. He wanted to show his inheritance to the world, but he harbored trouble in his heart! Guo Tu, the young minister of Banyin Temple, took the liberty of saying,
Please kill Kong Rong to rectify people's hearts!"
Kong Wenju was furious and was about to turn around, but Dong Zhao next to him saw that if he dragged on any longer, he would lose any part of his role. However, he finally couldn't help but stood up and spoke uprightly: "Guo Shaoqing misunderstood! Kong Taichang is not bad, but a little stupid. I understand.
As we know, he fell into the trap of some traitors! Please be patient and listen to me in detail! We in Jizhou have already made judgments on these recent messages from Ye!"
Gongsun Xun kicked the tiger's ear under his feet, and then continued to sit there calmly and watch the changes like a mountain king.
Ye Yi couldn't help but close her eyes when she saw this scene from a distance... This was the problem!
In other words, Ziyu was originally uneasy about Kong Rong's connection, but he was a benefactor and had no choice but to agree. But when he went to court today, he saw hundreds of officials gathered, but based on the composition and experience of these officials,
He saw it clearly, and then completely woke up... Kong Wenju's idea did make sense to a certain extent, but the problem was that he still overestimated the power of the so-called scholars and some Hebei wealthy families who were dissatisfied with the New Deal, and he really underestimated Yan Yan.
The public’s prestige, ability and character are revealed!
In fact, judging from the situation, as a subject of Duke Yan, or as anyone in this era, as long as you dare to go against Duke Yan, even if it is partial or alternative, it is an extremely desperate thing.
!
You will definitely not be able to defeat him in a war. The grass on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's graves has already been stubbled! Yizhou will be gone in three months!
If you want to rebel, you can't get people to join forces! You may not even be able to hide it from him! I'm afraid that this time Kong Wenju and himself have been stared at by the people in Jing'antai! Previously, the emperor fled eastward, but now it's Yi
I am sure that it was Princess Yan who released it!
But that's not all. The most important and terrifying thing is that this guy is really driven to a panic. He really dares not to cherish his reputation! He is not a modest gentleman, he is essentially a martial artist from Liaoxi!
You are now dozens of years old, and you are already Duke Yan. You are all my personal ministers. Let’s all go back to Liaoxi together... Are you embarrassed to say this? Hundreds of high-ranking officials with central authority and nearly 10,000 local officials,
Hundreds of thousands of troops, return to western Liaoning to drink from the northwest wind?
But once he said it, and said it so grandly, the world didn't know whether Duke Yan would add it to him, but everyone here would definitely add it!
Why bother to fight against this kind of person?
————Why am I the dividing line————
"In the case of Chen Song, Guo Tu and Xin commented, his treachery was enough to overthrow Yuan, so what's the point of him rebelling against the Yan? But a treacherous person has many talents, and success or failure depends on the time. Monsters, birds, and foxes can crouch freely in the daytime.
It is auspicious to get the night. If Lun behaves falsely and hides his love, he will die violently. Fortunately, he will avoid the punishment of two views!" - "Dian Lue". Annotation by Yan Pei Song
