In Lujiang City, the Gaofu, the county magistrate, and the captain are all sitting at the top. Below are the Gong Cao Shi, the Recorder, the Shaofu, and all the subordinate officials of the prefecture.
They also have one thing in common, that is, they are all subordinate officials who were promoted when Liu Xun was in office!
As for the other five officials, sect governors, etc., they were either already officials of the prefectural government when Lu Kang was there, and Liu Xun did not touch them after he took office. At most, they were kept in a vacuum, or they were re-promoted by Zhou Yu after Liu Xun retired.
Now is the time for the latter to be proud and proud. Only the officials led by Liu Xun are reporting to the group to keep warm.
Although Liu Xun nominally contributed to the city, he did so too late, and Bai Tu obviously did not like him.
Bai Tu had no intention of settling accounts after the fall, so the imperial court appointed Liu Xun as a Marquis of Guannei and let him live out his life.
In this way, they, Liu Xun's subordinate officials, are his stepmothers!
It can be said that they had a sleepless night tonight. The last news they received was that Bai Tu was safe and sound, and that among the people who returned to the city together, there was also Jiao Qing.
Probably even Jiao Qing himself didn't know that he had been targeted by these "boss and fakes" before!
Things have to start with Gao Biao and Master Gao
Before Gao Biao, he also admired Ai at a young age, and he also fell in love with Liu Lanzhi, the Liu family. After all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, unlike later when etiquette was prevalent, older girls did not even have the chance to go out.
There is also a saying in "The Peacock Flies Southeast". When Liu Lanzhi was divorced, she said to her sister-in-law, "On the seventh and nineteenth day of the lunar month, don't forget to play together." Women also have fixed days to go out to play every month, and occasionally they are in love.
It's also normal.
This was nothing at first, but in the end Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi fell in love, and the Jiao family proposed marriage first. After the marriage was settled, Gao Biao came up with some sinister ideas out of jealousy.
Moreover, Jiao Zhongqing lost his father when he was young, and Jiao's mother was a philistine. Originally, Jiao Qing's branch was a side branch of the Jiao family. Thanks to Jiao Qing's own ability, he managed to become an official.
Previously, Liu Lanzhi was not only young, beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, but also more or less the same clan as the prefect. Mother Jiao also felt that this was not a loss.
However, now that Liu Xun has been idle, and his former subordinates are all implicated because of their relationship with him, Mother Jiao looks down on Liu Lanzhi even more.
But in fact, this is overthinking. Whether Liu Xun or Zhou Yu, it was a problem whether they could remember Jiao Qing before, let alone pay attention to who his wife was!
It's just that people have prejudices and will look at what they see. Including Jiao Qing being made things difficult for Gao Biao several times, Jiao's mother also interpreted it as a failure in his official career, and then believed that "this is all because of the Liu family's daughter."
Not long ago, when the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation officials came in, the old bureaucrats in Lujiang completely erupted in resentment towards the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion. Even this represented not only the old bureaucrats in Lujiang, but not everyone in Jiangdong thought so.
Looking at the situation in Lujiang River.
And now the Lujiang Gujiu, headed by the county magistrate Gao Ming and the captain Qin Gu, are also going to take a "big gamble" and completely put themselves in the middle of the whirlpool. Maybe they can still keep their current status. Even if they are resigned, at least among the scholar-bureaucrats
You can also brush your face here, which can be regarded as a bargaining chip for a comeback in a few years.
Of course, when Bai Tu was assassinated, they were also frightened but they didn't dare to gamble so much. The assassination had nothing to do with them. It was a game where both the loser and the loser had to die.
They dared to make things difficult for Bai Tu, and it would be best if they could slightly surpass Bai Tu in terms of "popularity".
As for complete overwhelming? That is not a temporary success. With Bai Tu’s current popularity, it is difficult to shake!
As for this matter of "adding to the problem", Gao Biao came up with the idea. Moreover, he was the nephew of Gao Juncheng, so he could be said to have some say.
Bai Tu's biggest controversial point is that "killing one person is like killing my father". While this has gained him countless fame, there are always some Confucian scholars who are willing to guide him towards "unfilial piety".
Of course, with the popular foundation created by the Xianshi Zhiwen, and the fact that Kong Wenju, who "understood Confucius best", waved his flag and cheered for him in the Confucian Academy, the Jingzhou Confucian scholars and the Central Plains scholars could not gain the upper hand at all.
There is another thing, and that is what Bai Tu said when he refused Cao Cao's marriage.
Those were not Bai Tu's official remarks, but they were spread by interested people, and some of Bai Tu's views on marriage were obviously not in line with the positive energy of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Gao Biao and the others did not want to force Bai Tu into marriage, so they were not so desperate.
Rather, they want to use this as a breakthrough to guide Bai Tu's "violation of filial piety" from the perspective of marriage, and then sharpen the sword and send arrows to the main force attacking Bai Tu's "killing one person is like killing my father".
At the same time, they don't dare to really compete with Bai Tu, after all, no matter how strong their heads are, they are still human beings.
Gao Biao's idea was to promote a story that was in line with the positive energy of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, as the best refutation of Bai Tu's wrong views on marriage and love. It was not a frontal attack on Bai Tu, and naturally the safety factor was high. Bai Tu would probably suffer a loss.
And in this positive story, the one Gao Biao is planning to sacrifice is the bastard Jiao Qing!
Jiao's mother was dissatisfied with Liu Lanzhi because of Gao Biao's contribution. At this time, he suggested to use this matter to continue to make her jealous until Jiao's mother was determined to let Jiao Qing divorce his wife Liu Lanzhi.
If Jiao Qing obeys, then this will be a positive story. The Book of Rites says: If a son is suitable for his wife, his parents will not say it.
, live forever.
What's the meaning?
If the son likes his wife very much, but the parents don't like it, then divorce her. If the son doesn't like his wife, but the parents like her very much, then let her live the rest of her life. This is a matter of etiquette and filial piety.
The Book of Rites is one of the greatest political correctnesses in Confucianism, and it will not go wrong anywhere.
As for Jiao Qing, if he didn't submit, it would give the superior officials a reason to punish him and remove his filial piety and integrity. This is also a positive story about "punishing evil and promoting good".
In short, it is intended to trigger a discussion about Bai Tu's wrong views on marriage and love, so it will be successful.
Of course, based on Gao Biao's understanding of Jiao Qing, he should not be able to do this. Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, very few people could do this. The more distinguished people were, the less likely they would be.
With Jiao Qing's character, he would definitely use a slow-down strategy, but after he slowed down, Gao Biao would naturally have another move, and he didn't want Jiao Qing to be a down-to-earth example of positive energy.
Gao Ming felt that his nephew's idea was quite reasonable, so he discussed it with Captain Qin Gu. Qin Gu also decided to find someone to secretly give his concubine Qin Luo a dressing, and secretly negotiated with Jiao's mother. Didn't he have to do it secretly?
They haven't divorced yet, it would be embarrassing to tell them!
This indeed strengthened Jiao’s mother’s mind
However, what they didn't expect was that Jiao Qing was so confused that he established a relationship with Bai Tu first and seemed to have made a great contribution this time?
For a moment, Gao Ming was a little shaken as to whether to continue this matter.
Gao Biao saw that this was okay?
So he persuaded his uncle even more. The reason was that Jiao Qing was now more capable of attacking Bai Tu. Moreover, Jiao Qing was just looking at Bai Tu. How could he communicate with the powerful Han cavalry general about the shortcomings of his family?
matter?
Therefore, it is impossible for Bai Tu to know the situation of the Jiao family!
