When Chen Caozhi and Dou Tao were arguing in the front hall of the Su Mansion, a maid hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to report to Su Daozhi's wife, Zou. Zou was also from Guanxi, so the day before yesterday Dou Tao came to propose marriage and said that he would move back to Shi.
Zou was very tempted by the matter of Ping, but Su Hui said: "I will weave a palindrome poem and ask Mr. Dou to interpret it. If I can understand half of it, I will let my parents make the decision." Zou shook his head and said:
"Ruo Lan, in the past two years, many of the young people from the Changhuai clan have proposed to you, but they were all stumped by your palindrome poems. Because you are still young, your father and I laughed it off. Now you are fourteen years old.
When it comes time to actually discuss marriage, the husband of the Dou family is handsome and has a prominent family background. He has come all the way from a thousand miles away. How can you embarrass him with a palindrome poem? Your parents will decide this matter for you. Your girl's family
You just need to be humble and self-reliant." Upon hearing this, Su Hui held her skirt in her hands and bowed her head, speechless.
Zou heard that the prince Xima Chen Caozhi who was a guest in the castle yesterday had a dispute with Dou Tao, so he took two maids to go to the front hall to listen to what happened. As soon as he sat down in the side hall, Su Hui took a little maid
He also followed and saluted his mother Zou. Zou whispered: "Ruolan'er, please take a look at Mr. Dou through the curtain. He is very handsome. How could I lie to you? Of course I hope my son can marry me."
A wishful man."
Su Hui's face turned red, and she moved to sit next to the curtain. The maid asked softly: "Lift a corner of the curtain?" Su Hui shook her head and listened carefully to the people in the hall. The voice of her father, Su Daozhi, was too familiar, and the voices of the other two people were too familiar.
One voice is clear and clear, speaking very fast, and seems to be reasonable; while the other voice is much more soothing, like a golden voice, elegant and calm, slowly focusing on each word, listening to it will make people feel this way
: What he said makes sense and is trustworthy.
Su Hui could tell from the semantics of the two of them that the one who spoke very fast was Dou Langjun, and the one with a calm tone should be Chen Shijun from Jiangdong. Su Hui thought to herself: "I didn't expect that a man could speak with such a beautiful voice.
, like a recorder!"
Sujiabao is located in the north of Huaihe and is not far from Huainan. Naturally, Su Hui had heard about the Huainan prefect Huan Yi giving a flute to the young Chen Caozhi, and the fact that the girl from the Lu family of the Sanwu family would not marry Chen Caozhi.
It is widely circulated that in Su Hui's heart, Jiangzuo Weijie and Chen Caozhi are a legendary figure. He did not expect to come to Sujiapu, so his curiosity naturally expanded. He wanted to see with his own eyes who this Chen Caozhi was. This thought
It's more urgent than watching Dou Tao.
The curtain was dim, and the speaker's appearance could not be distinguished. Su Hui glanced at the maid next to him, hoping that the maid would mention the matter of lifting the curtain again, but the maid was stunned and showed no reaction, not understanding the young lady's thoughts.
Dou Tao was eighteen years old, and his father Dou Lang was now the chief strategist of the auxiliary state of Di Qin. The chief scribe of the auxiliary state was an official subordinate to the general of the auxiliary state. He was in charge of all affairs inside and outside the general's palace. The current general of the auxiliary state of Di Qin was Wang Meng.
, since last year, Wang Meng sent people to inquire about the strength of the refugee clans in Huaibei, understand their relationship with the Jin court, and selected five refugee clans that were likely to return to Di Qin. Wang Meng knew that he was sending people with titles.
It was not appropriate for envoys to come to persuade the Jin's refugee clan commanders to return to Qin, so officials like Dou Tao, who had no official positions for the time being, were sent out. They knew the family affairs of these refugee clan leaders, and they mainly used marriages.
The relationship gained the trust of these refugee commanders, and they either married or married. One of the parties to the marriage was a high-ranking official of Di Qin. Dou Tao, the son of Dou Lang, was sent to lobby Su Jiabao because he was young and handsome, and had both civil and military skills. He wanted to marry Su Daozhi's daughter Su.
Hui is his wife.
Dou Tao also knew in advance that the Su girl was beautiful and intelligent, so she would not wrong him. If the Su family castle returned to Di Qin smoothly, it would be a great achievement. Wang Meng had promised to be promoted to a prominent position immediately, so Dou Tao
He came here happily, but he never expected to meet Chen Caozhi, the Jin envoy. What was even more incredible was that this Chen Caozhi knew his details and purpose very well. Dou Tao knew that this lobbying was unlikely to succeed. Chen Caozhi
How could he just sit back and ignore this matter? He could only insist that he was here to propose to Su Hui.
Dou Tao said: "I admire the reputation of Miss Su as a virtuous lady. The Dou family and the Su family are both from the old Kansai clan, so why not marry!"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "There was a beauty trick in ancient times, and Mr. Dou wants to imitate it! Mr. Dou didn't know Miss Su before, so he came all the way from Qin to Jin to seek marriage. Do you dare to say that he has no selfish motives?"
Dou Tao blushed and said: "Marriage between families is a matter of mutual benefit and common prosperity. Otherwise, why would the Lu family of Wu County refuse to marry you?"
Chen Caozhi raised his black eyebrows and said calmly: "Young Master Dou is very knowledgeable, and he actually knows about my relationship with the Lu family's girl. I admire the Lu family's girl and vow to grow old with him, and I will definitely marry the Lu family's girl."
Chenmen."
Dou Tao sneered, young and full of energy, and couldn't help but said loudly: "Let's not talk about the marriage. What Chen Shijun said was Master Su Lang's plan. He wants to argue with me. If I win, I will let Master Su Lang stay. Chen Shijun
Are you sincere in what you say?"
Chen Caozhi looked at Dou Tao and said slowly: "If you don't have faith, you can't stand. How much more can I be ordered to uphold integrity and represent the Jin Dynasty?"
Dou Tao said loudly: "Okay, since Chen Shijun said this, let me tell you the advantages of Sujiabao's move to Guanzhong and the disadvantages of staying here. Shiping in Guanzhong is the ancestral home of the Su family, homeland, how can we not think about it?
As a result, now that the Holy Lord is above, the county sages are assisting, Guanzhong is at peace, and the people are prosperous, if the Su family returns to Shiping, ten thousand acres of fertile land will be allocated for the Su family to establish a family business, and the Su family will be exempted from taxes for three years.
Huangtian, rent-free and tax-free for five years, Master Su Lang will be appointed as the magistrate of Shiping County when he returns to Shiping. This is promised by Wang Shangshu's personal letter. This is the benefit of Sujiabao moving back to Shiping; and if the Su family stays in Shiping
The Jin Dynasty cannot be trusted by the Jin Dynasty, and cannot be tolerated by the local people. The Jin Dynasty is in decline, and the emperor and his ministers are alienated.
Wang Shangshu said that within five years, the land in Huaibei will belong to Yan and Qin, not Jin. The Jin people rely on Huan Da Sima as a barrier, and their military deployment depends on luck. If they dare to launch the third Northern Expedition
, whether we attack Qin or Yan, we will definitely be defeated."
Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Young Master Dou's retelling of Wang Jinglue's words is very clear and logical. Are there any pros and cons that you can tell me?"
Wang Jinglue was Wang Meng, and Dou Tao was sincerely convinced by Wang Meng. Although Chen Caozhi pointed out that he was just paraphrasing Wang Meng's words and had no own opinions, which meant to ridicule, Dou Tao did not get angry and said: "Please Chen Caojun also state Su
Let’s talk about the pros and cons of keeping the clan clan in Pingyu.”
Chen Cao came to Su Daozhi, and Su Qi and his son smiled and greeted him, and then said: "It is human nature to resettle the land and relocate. The Su family clan has been operating in Pingyu for more than ten years. The walls of the dock are strong and the refugees have returned. This is the reason why it is flourishing."
However, at this time, they had to uproot themselves and move back to the unfamiliar Kansai. I am afraid that the Su clan would not be willing to waste their people and money in this way. Last year, Huan Da Sima Biao reported to the court that he wanted to return the capital to Luoyang.
Sun Xinggong, the leader of the book, said, "It has been rooted outside the Yangtze River for decades. One day, I suddenly wanted to pull it out and drove it to an empty land. I carried it thousands of miles, crossed dangers and floated deep, left the tomb, abandoned my life and property, and my farm and house."
It cannot be resold, and there are no boats and carriages to gain. I gave up the land of peace and happiness to adapt to the land of chaos."... Back then, Master Su Lang led his clan to move south to avoid the tyranny of the Hu people. Now Guanxi is occupied by Di Hu. Today, Mr. Dou
To persuade Master Su Lang to return to Di Qin, wouldn't it mean that he would abandon a peaceful country and become a land accustomed to chaos?"
Dou Tao said loudly: "The land of chaos, our Qin country is the hometown of chaos? The king of Shangshu is in power, the territory of Qin is stable and peaceful, the army is strong and the country is prosperous, the people sing "Chang'an Avenue, the poplar trees are green; when you get off the Chihua chariot, get on
"Qi Luan Feng; talented people gather together to teach our people." Although the Di people are barbarians, they get along well with the Han people. At present, there are many Han people who have been highly employed from Wang Shangshu to the next. Looking at Jiangdong, the king is like a puppet and the common people are like enemies.
, Talents are withering, and the people are in poverty. If Wang Shangshu's talent had followed Huan Wen back to Jiangdong, could he be used as highly as he is in Qin today? Can he show off his talents and learn from them? The scholars in Jiangzuo, Eguan Bo, took medicine, drank wine, and talked arrogantly.
Just like Yin Hao, thanks to thousands of generations, he is in a high position and only talks about things, but he is completely incompetent when it comes to things. He brings disaster to the country and the people. This is nothing more than that. In my opinion, the hometown of chaos is Jiangzuo!"
Dou Tao's words were also sharp and insightful. Chen Caozhi nodded secretly and asked, "Who does Mr. Dou think Wang Jinglue is?"
Dou Tao said proudly: "The talents of Wang Shangshu are not inferior to those of Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Wuhou."
Chen Caozhi asked: "How can we see it?"
Dou Tao said: "In the first year of Ganlu, when Wang Shangshu was serving as Zhongshu Ling and Jing Zhaoyin, the empress dowager's younger brother was ruthless and lawless. Wang Shangshu did not wait for the emperor's order and killed him immediately. He was more aggressive and solved the case without any scruples.
Within ten days, powerful people and noble relatives killed and exempted more than 20 people from punishment. Hundreds of officials were shocked, and the powerful people held their breaths. They did not pick up things on the road, and ordered and prohibited. Can Jiang Zuo see such thunderous methods? Wang Shangshu also deposed Hu
The method of dividing the Han Dynasty was that Li Yuan should be fussy and Yi Di should be harmonious. This meant that the Han people, the Di people, the Xiongnu people, the Jie people, the Xianbei people, and the Qiang people could all live in harmony. From this point of view, Wang Shangshu was even better than Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Kongming.
"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Wang Jinglue is a Han, but he can lead the affairs of the army and state in Di Qin. Why?"
Dou Tao said: "The Holy Lord trusts him."
Chen Caozhi asked: "Wang Shangshu's Spring and Autumn Period?"
Dou Tao looked at Chen Caozhi suspiciously and replied: "Nine out of thirty."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "The King of Qin and Wang Jinglue are both honest and wise masters and capable ministers, but the Qin noble family is really convinced by Wang Jinglue? It should be the King of Qin's strong suppression, and he does not dare to be angry or speak out, unless Wang Shangshu can
A long life, otherwise the Hu and Han Dynasties will have disputes, just like the death of Zhuge Wuhou and the destruction of the Shu Han Dynasty. To govern the world, we cannot rely on capable ministers, but on regular laws. Capable ministers can suppress conflicts by their own abilities, but due to various limitations and constraints, they are unable to resolve them.
Once conflicts cannot be suppressed, they will suddenly break out and cause serious harm!"
Chen Caozhi's words were quite unfounded, and he took them for granted, but Dou Tao had no way to argue with them, and Su Daozhi was even more shocked when he heard them. More than ten years ago, Hu and Han attacked each other, laying down millions of corpses, and Su Daozhi was shocked.
With lingering fears, Wang Meng was in power, and the Hu and Han Dynasties were in peace, but Wang Meng was already in his forties. People's life span in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was short, and forty years old was considered old. Once Wang Meng died, the Han people were bound to be suppressed and discriminated against, and they stayed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at least
We are all Han, so we don't have to worry about annihilation.
