Li Xingchen nodded slightly. He didn't expect any actual benefits from the conditions Liu Xiuzheng proposed, and it was estimated that Liu Xiuzheng didn't dare to see the conditions at all. The key depends on Yu Wenxian's attitude.
Yu Wenxian remained silent, so Li Xingchen didn't know what Yu Wenxian wanted to do.
Li Xingchen was not greedy enough to blackmail him even if he took advantage of such a trivial matter. The reason why he insisted on asking for an "explanation" from Northern Zhou was, firstly, to test Yu Wenxian's attitude, and secondly,
In order to take this opportunity to suppress the morale of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
No matter what compensation the Northern Zhou Dynasty paid in the end, even if it was just some insignificant local specialties, it can be regarded as the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Yu Wenxian's initiative to bow to the big man. After all, no matter what is given, it is given, and it is given.
I gave in.
When the time comes, the Han Dynasty will go all out to carry out propaganda, so that he will not worry about boosting his own morale and destroying the enemy's prestige.
When Liu Xiuzheng retreated hastily, Li Xingchen looked around at the ministers and couldn't help but smile: "When Liu Xiuzheng came across the river, he was also high-spirited. Today, he is as hasty as a bereaved dog. Fortune is playing tricks on people, but that's it."
When Liu Xiuzheng came as the envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had not yet gone north to launch an attack on Guanzhong. Even though the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in civil strife, it still had the attitude of dividing the world with the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Xiuzheng had enough confidence to speak and act.
, and even once instigated conflicts between the Jiangnan family and the imperial court in Jiankang Mansion. Even people like Shen Jungao, who ranked among the six ministers, were instigated by him. If he hadn't realized that this was a trap in time and finally suppressed it, he wanted to
With the intention of treason and rebellion, I am afraid that the Minister of Punishment has already been replaced.
Therefore, when Li Xingchen talked about old things, many officials from the Jiangnan gentry in the court looked guilty. They had almost believed Liu Xiuzheng's lies.
And Li Xingchen was also filled with emotions about this.
Liu Xiuzheng is a pacifist. In this era of three hundred years of chaos, the concept of pursuing peace is indeed very popular. Whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, everyone hopes for peace in the world, but Liu Xiuzheng's
This kind of peace was based on the coexistence of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the two sides divided rivers to rule or transformed rivers to rule. In Li Xingchen's view, this kind of peace was too ideal.
Dividing rivers and governing them may ensure peace for decades or generations, but the concept of Kyushu that China has inherited from ancient times cannot be dissipated in just a few generations. When both the north and the south have regained their strength due to peace, then
The first thing to do next is definitely to fight, so the situation of North and South separation cannot be called "peace" after all, it can only be called "truce". Such peace is just a breathing space for both sides.
In line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Li Xingchen did not intend to give the Northern Zhou Dynasty such a chance to breathe, so it was naturally difficult for Liu Xiuzheng's views to be agreed with him. His Majesty's attitude is very clear. The following is
Naturally, the ministers gained wisdom from every experience, and they all avoided Liu Xiuzheng, leaving this envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was alone in a foreign land completely isolated.
However, the big families around Yu Wenxian in the north were particularly displeased with Liu Xiuzheng. Everyone came here to compete for fame and wealth, but you are the only one who sings high-pitched words here every day. If you are allowed to come back and stand up again,
With King Qi, our popularity will definitely not be as high as yours, and if we don’t protect him, what path will you lead Yu Wenxian on?
Therefore, although Yu Wenxian wanted Liu Xiuzheng to come back several times, for him, as Liu Xiuzheng has been a critical friend for so many years, it would be best if he could be by his side, but he also had to consider Pei Ju and others.
People continue to protest.
In addition, Liu Xiuzheng himself was very motivated when he crossed to the south and praised Haikou to Yu Wenxian. However, now he has achieved nothing and has completely become a mouthpiece between the south and the north. He is not even as good as Xu Shanxin who stayed in Yecheng.
.
Everyone was also poaching, and it was obvious that Xu Shanxin's poaching effect was much better than his own. The attitude of the northern aristocratic families had become increasingly ambiguous, but those southern aristocratic families that accepted his theory had long since died without a burial place.
Liu Xiuzheng's depression could be felt by Li Xingchen. If this guy hadn't played a role as a voice, and only if he existed, Xu Shanxin's safety could be guaranteed. Li Xingchen would have kicked him out long ago.
I went to Yecheng, after all, out of sight and out of mind.
But having said that, the more depressed Liu Xiuzheng is, the more it proves that Li Xingchen is popular.
Without waiting for the compliments from the ministers, Li Xingchen directly changed the subject: "Now that Yu Wenxian has not given a reply, we must not take it lightly. Soldiers from all over the country must work hard and be vigilant. We must not relax!"
"I obey the decree!" Pei Zilie and others responded in unison.
Li Xingchen waved them away and asked them to leave.
Yu Wenxian's sudden commotion is just a sideshow for today. There is another very important matter today.
The results of the palace examination are released.
"Brother Du, are you nervous?"
In a guild hall on the bank of Qinhuai River in Jiankang, a scholar in white smiled and looked at the middle-aged man standing on the second floor leaning on the railing and looking into the distance.
This is the Chang'an Guild Hall. As the name suggests, it is the place where people from Guanzhong come to Jiankang to settle down. Chinese customs have always been to relocate to their hometown. Even if they leave their hometown, people from one place will feel more cordial when they get together. This is the so-called "meeting old friends in a foreign land"
”.
Therefore, in history, guild halls developed rapidly in cities along the canal with the Ming and Qing commerce. Due to the development of Han commerce, they have already appeared on the historical stage. Compared with guild halls in history, they were more merchants. In this era,
There are also many scholars and officials staying in the guild hall, mainly because there is a government host behind it.
After all, the Han Dynasty does not yet have a complete household registration system. When foreigners come to the capital, they may be prone to conflicts because they are not familiar with the place where they live. Therefore, the first-time foreigners are concentrated in local guild halls to facilitate statistical management. This way
It is also somewhat similar to the neighborhood system in Chang'an and Luoyang.
However, the Jiankang Prefecture of the Han Dynasty was originally the main area for southward migration. In addition, the rapid development of commerce and trade did not form a strict neighborhood system in Jiankang Prefecture. For the purpose of promoting trade circulation and exchanges in the entire city, Li Xingchen did not
Jiankang Prefecture is required to adopt a neighborhood system and only use guild halls to gather foreigners.
Du Yan, who was born in the Du family of Duling, came to Jiankang Prefecture from Chang'an, and of course he settled in the Chang'an Guild Hall. Although he was in the south of the Yangtze River and had no relatives, most of the people around him were Guan Zhongshi and merchants, and everyone talked with each other.
, I also feel very warm when I hear the local accent.
What everyone is concerned about now is today’s release of the results.
