After Qi was destroyed by Qin, its territory was divided into four parts: Jibei County in the west, Langya County in the south, Linzi County in the middle, and Jiaodong County on the Jiaodong Peninsula.
The jurisdiction of Jiaodong County probably included the four cities of Weifang, Weihai, Yantai and Qingdao in later generations.
It sounds quite beautiful. Good guy, they are the three most livable cities. However, the seaside is not as developed as it was in later generations. Weihai, Yantai, and Qingdao are all still small fishing villages or uninhabited beaches. The county seat of Jiaodong County is Jimo.
City, followed by the two major counties of Gaomi and Yeyi. Half of the county's population is concentrated in these three places.
Near Chunyu, the official road is divided into two, one heading to the northeast and the other to the southeast. The north road leads to Yeyi, and the south road leads directly to Gaomi.
Heifu and his party took the southern route. Before they arrived, he was assassinated in Chunyu County and wanted to find out the news about his rebellion. He arrived in Gaomi County first and frightened the county magistrate, prime ministers, lieutenants, and local powerful officials in the city.
Not easy.
Some people say that under the order of this black-faced county governor, Chunyu County was decimated. Everyone involved was arrested and thrown into prison, as many as hundreds. Even petty officials and powerful officials were not spared. 1
At that time, the prisons in Chunyu County became a city, and ocher clothes blocked the roads.
Others say that the two officials, Chunyu County Magistrate and County Lieutenant, were dismissed from their posts on the spot by the new county magistrate for dereliction of duty!
This made the Gaomi County Magistrate, the Prime Minister, and the Wei tremble for a while. Chun Yu was their close neighbor. They were all assigned to be officials together after the Qin State destroyed Qi five years ago, and they often interacted with each other. Although Chun Yu Ling was old,
But after taking office for several years, there was no trouble, and the old county guard didn't do anything to him. Good guy, the new county guard was dismissed as soon as he came.
They touched the official seals on their waists and suddenly became nervous. The county magistrate immediately asked people to wait at the county boundary. He called all the county officials, magnates, and elders to come to Shiliting to greet them in person. The county captain ordered the soldiers and thieves to greet them.
, the defense inside and outside the city was strengthened, and the gangsters must not be allowed to attack the county guard again. The county magistrate also stayed up all night in the office, sorting out the prison records of the past five years, in case the county guard made a surprise inspection.
The next day, everyone gathered in Shiliting saw a group of carriages and horses approaching on the road from a distance. When they asked the knight who opened the way, they found out that it was indeed the county guard who had arrived. Their expressions suddenly changed and they hurriedly braved the wind and snow to greet them.
The black car hood covered with wind and snow was painted red and the door opened. A big official wearing a bearskin fur and a crest on his head stepped out of the carriage. All the officials from Gaomi hurried over to see him.
"The Gaomi County Magistrate, Cheng, Wei, pays homage to the Lord!"
Heifu saw the snowflakes covering the bodies of the three of them. He thought he stood in the open air for a long time on purpose to show his courtesy, and then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you three."
This kind smile made the three officials stunned. According to rumors, shouldn't this be a brave general with ruthless policies?
Before they could react, Heifu actually looked at the three of them and joked: "High-density soil and water nourish people. When I was in Linzi, I heard a captain say that the three of them had previously served in the army. After a few years,
But his waist is ten inches wider, and his shoulders are three inches wider."
This is an exaggeration. In fact, he is not that fat. The three officials are all from the Qin Dynasty. They climbed out of the mountains and seas of blood and accumulated military merits and titles little by little. But in the past five years, they have stayed in the peaceful and comfortable Qidi for a long time.
Now, the horse has been released to Nanshan, the sword has been blunted, the shoulder flesh has regenerated, and the strong soldiers in the past have now become potbellied.
"The Sheriff taught you a lesson." They all laughed ugly because they didn't know whether it was a joke or a warning. The Sheriff even felt so guilty that he tightened his belly to make himself look thinner.
Heifu's eyes had already gone beyond them: "These are the officials of Gaomi County, Hao Chang?"
The Gaomi County Magistrate quickly introduced them one by one. When he introduced Tian Shifu Yan Bo, Heifu looked the short middle-aged man up and down: "Are you from the Gaomi Yan family?"
"This official is the son of the head of the Yan clan." Yan Bo carefully answered in blunt Guanzhong elegance.
Heifu said again: "I heard that the Yan family of Gaomi is the successor of Yanzi, the prime minister of Jiang Qi?"
Yan Bo looked at Gao Mi Ling, and they signaled him to continue, and then he dared to say: "Yanzi is the distant ancestor of the lower officials, and Yan is the official of Jiang Qi. He helped Duke Zhuang of Qi to destroy Lai, and was granted the title of Yiwei. Yiwei is
Gaomi, from then on, this is my home town..."
Yan Ying was born in this city, and passed through several generations of Qi princes. He was smart, witty, and eloquent. He assisted the state internally and cooperated with the princes externally. His reputation is still very famous two thousand years later.
However, the good days of the Yan family did not last long. By the time of Yan Ying's son Yan Yu (yu), the Tian family of the Qing clan became powerful and seized the power of the Qi State. Yan Yu was a die-hard Baojiang faction. After losing in the struggle,
, the family declined, and Gaomi was captured by the Tian family and turned into a county. During the reign of Tian Qi, the Yan family was still not allowed to be reused. It has been like this for more than two hundred years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Today
He is also the leader of Gaomi's tycoons, his family is rich in hundreds of gold, and he has hundreds of servants and vassals.
Heifu suddenly looked very interested: "It turns out that after being a famous minister, is there a Yanzi Temple in the city?"
Gao Mi Ling rushed to say: "Yes, in the west of the city!"
"Good." Hei Fu signaled: "The second and third sons are leading the way. I have heard the story of Yan Zi and have always admired him. Now that I pass by his temple, I must pay homage to him!"
…
The impression Heifu left on everyone in Gaomi was different from the black terror in Chunyu County. He put away his cold appearance and replaced it with a gentle smile. He did not replace Gaomi officials, and he was also amiable to local leaders. The first time he arrived in Gaomi
The first thing he did was to worship Yanzi Temple in person to show respect for this local sage.
In Yanzi Temple, he also took out a long-prepared "gift", a paper manuscript of "Yanzi Chunqiu"!
Yan Bo, his old father, and the head of the Yan clan were still trembling with trepidation at first, not knowing what the black-faced governor was going to do. When they saw the book, they were shocked. They took it tremblingly and took a look, and found that it was actually a complete copy.
Their collection of several fragments should be complete, and many lost stories can be found in them!
Chen Ping, the chief historian, explained: "After the fall of Tian Qi, all the books in Linzi were transported to the Yushi Mansion in Xianyang. The governor of the county, Su Xi, Yan Pingzhong, asked Zhuxia Shi to get the book and ordered the knife and pen officials to sort it out.
Copied them one by one on paper and bound them into a volume. When I came together, I brought two volumes with me..."
Heifu said: "I will continue to study this book. As for this one, I will give it to the Yan family and enshrine it in the Yanzi Temple."
The Yan family and their son quickly bowed their heads and thanked the county governor for his kindness, but Hei Fu helped them up and said with emotion:
"I should be grateful to Yan Zi. I have benefited a lot from the deeds of everyone in the book, and my favorite is the story of "Yan Zi's Envoy to Chu"."
Heifu even recited in public: "Oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and those grown in north Huaibei are called tangerines. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So why? The water and soil are different. People today do not steal when they grow up in Qi, but they steal when they move to Chu.
How can we obtain the land and water without Chu and make the people good at stealing? Hey, I still remember this statement vividly. It is really humorous and intelligent. I only regret that I was born three hundred years too late and could not be friends with Yanzi!"
He wasn't lying. When he studied this text in his previous life, he really liked Yan Ying. Short politicians often have extraordinary charm.
At the end, Heifu even said in public: "If Yan Zi is here, even if I hold the whip for him, I can still listen!"
This statement shocked everyone. The Gaomi County Magistrate, Cheng, and Wei kept echoing throughout the whole process, while the Yan family and other powerful clans in Gaomi were deeply moved by Heifu's performance.
He came to the temple to worship as soon as he got off the car. This could be faked, and it was not difficult for this official to send someone to copy "Yan Zi Chun Qiu".
But if you can recite the classic passages in it, it must be true and cannot be fake!
After some worship, Heifu announced that Yanzi Temple would be used as a local "official sacrifice" in Gaomi, with officials presiding over the sacrifice once a year. This made the Yan family even more delighted. They were originally scared of what Heifu left in Chunyu.
He has a murderous reputation, but now I feel that this is a rare and good county guard.
That night, when the officials and officials in Gaomi County were hosting a banquet for Heifeng, the officials and officials took turns to toast him and said many flattering words.
But Hei Fu made gestures to silence everyone, raised his cup and said: "When I was in Linzi, passing by the sleeping platform on Qigong Road, the official stationed there told me a story. At that time, Qi Jinggong and Yan Zi were sitting on the road.
Qi Jinggong sighed and said, "What a beautiful room! I don't know who will occupy it in the future."
"Yanzi said, who occupies this room, is it the Tian family? Although the Tian family does not have great virtues, but he is generous to the people, he will rule the government of Qi. If the descendants of the princes are a little lazy, the country of Qi may be destroyed.
Take Tian’s place!"
This story was told to Heifu by Chen Ping after his one-day trip to Linzi, and it is used today.
Heifu sighed: "Yanzi is wise and has true knowledge and insight. Within a hundred years, the Tian family succeeded Jiang Qi, and the princes and princes of the Tian family slaughtered the Lu family, drove the country, Gao, deposed the Yan family, and moved them all to Lai.
Tian Qi has been in power for more than a hundred years, and the four clans have not been able to use it again. The descendants of the princes, princes, and officials are farming in Jiaodong. The sacrifice of the ancestral temple is actually the hard work of the villagers. It is really sad and hateful!"
Jiaodong hundreds of years ago was the old land of Lai that had just been conquered by Qi. It had the worst economic conditions and the smallest population. Therefore, Yan, Guo, and Gao who failed in the struggle were all driven to open up wasteland. The last king of Jiang Qi,
Duke Kang of Qi was also moved to the seaside of Jiaodong and occupied a whole city to worship him. For more than a hundred years after that, these families were firmly suppressed by the Tian family and had no chance of revival. They were the depressed and frustrated people in the Tian Qi era.
By.
Others were fine. Several scholars of the Yan family couldn't help sighing, thinking that Qi Jinggong was too confused. Yan Zi had already talked about this, but he didn't notice the Tian family's ambition, which eventually led to the usurpation of the country. They felt that Qi Jinggong was too confused.
I still miss the era of Jiang Qi, who was ranked as a minister and was famous all over the world...
During the reign of Tian Qi, the descendants of Yan Zi did not dare to express their dissatisfaction. Now that Tian Qi is dead and a good county governor who "worships Yan Zi" has come, they all agree.
Heifu, who was born in a mud-legged family, seemed to have forgotten his class at this moment. After complaining about the injustice for the Yan family and other Jiang Qi old nobles, he said another imaginative statement.
"Now that the Tian family has won the country unfairly and was destroyed by the soldiers, this can be regarded as my Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, avenging Jiang Qi!"
Huh? Everyone looked at each other in shock. Is there such a thing?
But think about it, Qin Shihuang put Guan Zhong, a famous prime minister in Jiang Qi's era, into the "Jingbian Temple" and built temples in Linzi and other places to offer sacrifices. Does it seem that he really sympathized with Jiang Qi?
While everyone was thinking about it, Hei Fu stood up and said seriously: "I have come here to take office, intending to restore the honor of the clans that were deposed and suppressed by the Tian family in the past, so that their descendants can serve in the government and assist the Qin officials. This government should be managed by
The beginning of Gaomi began with the Yan family!"
After saying this, he looked at the stunned head of the Yan clan and said without comment: "I want to conquer the Yan clan and the good sons of Gaomi's powerful leaders. I will take them to Jimo, enter the school, use the officials as teachers, and learn the laws and regulations of Qin.
, Ya Yan, so that it can be reused in the future, what do you think?"
