Chapter 2331 When Yangmou Meets Yangmou

"It's unnecessary..."

Gan Ning frowned deeply.

Li's scribe shook his head and said: "Now Hussar is in Chang'an, and the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is in a corner. It is inevitable that there will be people with ulterior motives who will take advantage of Hussar's difficulty to control and do evil things!" Since we have received the favor of Qianqi, we should respect benevolence and loyalty! How can we sit back and watch these rebellious people? ! 』

Gan Ning suddenly felt that he had a toothache. "What if Xu Shijun didn't rebel?" 』

"Then why did Xu Yuanzhi not personally lead the army to march into Hanzhong to quell the chaos? Instead, he wanted to march into Brazil to quell the scabies disease among people like Di." ” Li Shi stared and said with righteousness and righteousness, “If Xu Yuanzhi has no evil intentions in his heart, how can he send Zhuge Kongming to lead his troops into the Golden Bull Road, but nothing can be accomplished? If Xu Yuanzhi had no intention of treason, why should Wei Wenchang be imprisoned? 』

"Perhaps Commander Xu has other plans..." Gan Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li's scribe chuckled and said, "Be aware that this is groundless!" I wonder how General Gan can prove that Xu Yuanzhi has no rebellious intentions? 』

Gan Ning frowned.

how to prove? How can this be proven?

It's like how to prove that a slap can't make a sound or a fly can't bite a seamless egg?

This sentence originally evolved from the phrase "shooting with one hand, although it is silent" that appeared in "Han Feizi. Fame". The meaning gradually changed from a simple interpretation of "weak strength, bad actions" to "a single cause is not responsible, both parties are responsible" ’ means, from Xi Ren to Li Zicheng, everyone seems to have a slap in the face. Now the slap was slapped on Xu Shu, and Gan Ning, as a bystander, had four options: "One is to help Daxiong, the other is to help Fat Tiger, the third is to pretend not to see it, the fourth is to say that the slap can't make a difference" 』.

Gan Ning pushed away the wine glass, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Shijun has always been kind and righteous, and loyal to Hussar!" I'm afraid what you said is just what one family says, and I don't believe it! Farewell! 』

When Li's scribe saw this, he did not stop him. He just smiled and said, "If Xu Yuanzhi is really a treasonous person, please ask the general to know good and evil and be loyal!" 』

Gan Ning snorted, said nothing, and returned the way he came.

Scholar Li shook his head and smiled...

Gan Ning returned to his courtyard. After pondering for a moment, he wrote a letter describing the matter and sent it to Xu Shu's residence.

Xu Shu frowned slightly when he received the letter, and then asked someone to reply to Gan Ning with four words, "Be patient and don't be impatient."

This is a conspiracy.

Xu Shu heard such rumors starting to circulate in the streets two days ago...

Some noblemen from Sichuan and Shu began to guide the media, er, rumors, and began to question Xu Shu and criticize Xu Shu. These noble sons of Sichuan and Shu seized the moral high ground, looking at, pointing, gesticulating, and discussing from all angles, saying that Xu Shu's attitude was problematic, Xu Shu's behavior was very problematic, and Xu Shu's thoughts were very dangerous. Xu Shu's behavior was inconsistent with his moral status...

During this process, ordinary people became excited, because they seemed to see the brilliance of justice, and they pounced on it like moths, lingering around, and even became the helper of the rumors of these Sichuan and Shu gentry children. Pusher, and then more people started talking, and countless arms were raised, pointing at Xu Shu.

Please prove.

Please prove it.

Even if I wanted to defend myself at this time, I would find that my voice was drowned in a wave of excitement that was so distorted that it didn't matter whether I was guilty or not. It didn't matter how many bowls of noodles I had eaten. The important thing was to See blood.

A group of people in Wuyangyang only need to see blood to get excited and satisfied.

As for whose blood it is, that's not the point.

As for the person who caused this incident in the first place, he just smiled on the sidelines. Even if the accusation turned out to be wrong and blood had already been shed, he just said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I got angry today" or "I'm sorry." , I mean well too", "Ah, I didn't expect this", "I'm really sorry, it was just a misunderstanding"...

In the end, a piece of leftovers and chicken feathers were left on the ground.

The trend is getting bigger and bigger.

……(`)……

In this world, some things are huge, and some things are very small. What’s interesting is that the size is not fixed. If you think it is big, it seems big, and if you think it is small, it may be small.

For example, such as the fall of mountains and rivers, the change of dynasties, etc., these huge events will completely change the original social structure, affect the lives of all people in it, determine the future direction of the entire country, and will leave a strong mark in the books of history. A stroke, indeed a big event...

But these things are also small.

Because if you put the events in one place, within one day, these earth-shattering events that even affect the change of years cannot interrupt anyone's life at this point in time. You still have to eat what you need to eat and you still need to drink what you need to drink. , People who should work hard for survival still have to work hard. What is more important, the emperors and generals in the distance or the meager food in front of them?

In the fifth year of Taixing, winter.

After several months of turmoil in Longyou, the chaos in the area began to calm down. There were continuous fighting and suppression, as well as encirclement and escape. A large number of relevant personnel were arrested and escorted to Chang'an.

After the initial panic and chaos have passed, the market still needs to be open, supplies still need to circulate, and the government offices are already in operation. Inspections are roaming around the city and countryside, tracking down some roosters and dog robbers, and occasionally hunting down some thieves who disrupt order. Originally closed, Several new shops and restaurants have opened.

After Beigong's death, the so-called "resistance organization" of the Xiqiang in the Longyou area of ​​Longxi basically disappeared. However, the original foundation of the Xiqiang's existence was still there, because after the Battle of Zhangye, Beigong escaped. , some other Qiang leaders surrendered, and of course there were some die-hards, and some were fugitives who didn't care, so it still took a certain amount of time to sort them out.

The Dong Qiang, headed by the Bai Shi Qiang, acted very conscientiously as the dog-legged leader of Jia Xu and others. On the one hand, they served as a bridge of communication between the frightened Qiang tribes to surrender, and on the other hand, they also played a certain management role in maintaining the surrender. These Qiang people work tirelessly to stabilize their mentality.

Among Longxi Longyou, a large group of people, headed by Jia Xu, Zhang Liao Taishi Ci, Han Guo and other civil servants, began to rebuild the entire management of Longxi Longyou.

Some wealthy families who colluded with the Qiang people and even caused mischief behind the scenes were found out, especially those who usually liked to call the Qiang leaders as brothers and shout around. Basically, there was no good end. Those who were more alert surrendered early. And those who surrendered the private soldiers they had raised were able to save some of their wealth, but those handsome men who thought that I spent money was God thinking that they had to raise some manpower, so what happened, they were arrested without exception, and their homes were confiscated. The most serious thing is that people's heads fall to the ground.

Some people cried, some cursed, some deserved it, and some were really unjust. But in front of the rolling iron armor, no matter what the situation, Jia Xu's determination to implement a new political system in Longxi, Longyou, was similar to that of Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc. The handsome interest group of Qiang and Han has become the target of this major purge...

On the other hand, for Longxi Longyou, this time a large number of civil servants led by Han Guo also successfully replaced the officials who were originally in Longyou and Longxi counties.

If Jia Xu led Zhang Liao and Tai Shi Ci to clean up the local wealthy families in Longxi and Longyou, it was like a flame, completely shattering the original structure, then the civil servants led by Han Guo, who were originally unknown and poor people, were like weak water. , slowly penetrated into the gaps in Longxi and Longyou, and stitched together various affairs in Longyou and Longxi, so that the people's livelihood and government affairs in Longyou and Longxi did not cause complete chaos and destruction due to the war. After the initial period of discomfort, these civil servants gradually got used to it, and political affairs gradually returned to normal, or tended to normal.

This made many people, especially the original gentry children, look at each other in confusion. Some of them felt that the entire incident in Longyou and Longxi seemed to represent something that had changed, but it was difficult for these people to tell what these changes meant. What, and what impact it will have on the future, most people can’t tell...

At the same time, because some Guanzhong gentry were more or less involved with Longyou and Longxi, when Jia Xu went to Longyou and Longxi to wipe out these wealthy and powerful families who had stepped on both sides of Hu and Han, these Guanzhong gentry also rushed to apologize. , to clear the relationship, even if some people are interested in studying the changes in Longyou and Longxi, they have to wait until their family is completely removed. Otherwise, even if they see it clearly and then the family is folded in, what is the point? ?

After finally clearing up some relationships, some relatively clear-minded people felt the chill of winter and the biting cold.

"Speaking of these things, although the Xiqiang deserved their punishment at the moment, it is really true that the big families in Longyou and Longxi have been reduced to such a state..."

"It's really heartless to turn your palms to make clouds and turn your hands to make rain..."

"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words..."

In the transition between the old and the new in Longyou and Longxi, there are more sighs like this in the mouths of the more ordinary gentry children in Chang'an.

As for those with higher status, who are better informed and have a broader vision, of course they have more consultations and understand more things. Their views on the Western Qiang tribe in Longyou and Longxi all tend to be the same. Unification means that the hussar general Fei Qian's suppression of the Hu people is now as high as it has been in decades. It can even be compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the early Han Dynasty. Neither the Xiongnu, Xianbei, nor Wuhuan were subordinated to the hussar generals. What benefits can be obtained? It seems reasonable that the rebellion of the Xiqiang people was put down so quickly.

Of course, anyone can use hindsight, but not many people are aware of the subtle changes and can tell the accurate truth. Only a few people are truly aware of the process of General Fei's potential. What is so powerful about those methods...

A group of carriages and horses drove slowly. Wei Duan sat in the carriage. He opened some wind curtains and looked towards the street. In the streets, people were filled with the joy of harvest, talking to each other, or purchasing supplies, coming and going. It seemed that the war in Longyou and Longxi had gone far away, and there was no trace left.

"call……"

Wei Duan lowered the wind curtain.

It is everyone's misfortune to be born in an era of great turmoil.

It is the misfortune of the Guanzhong gentry to have an iron-fisted figure above their head.

But if you survive, be content.

Human beings, no one is born to be a good person or a bad person. Of course, no one is born to regard death as home, and is destined to fight tooth and nail. In most cases, especially After having a family and a family, the passion of young people gradually fades away, and they show more weakness and resignation, moving forward in roundabout ways, and sometimes they swallow their anger and seek for the future...

Nowadays, the Cavalry General has become a huge force. As long as the Cavalry General does not fall, he cannot disobey. It would be unwise to think about any kind of confrontation. This is what Wei Duan is thinking at the moment.

Because the response was relatively timely at the beginning and he was not too involved, Wei Duan was now able to walk out of the Shenluyuan more openly and return home to rest.

Wei Kang greeted him outside the door early. These days, Wei Kang has been staying in his mansion, and he is really depressed. Knowing that his father Wei Duan has returned from the Senate, he feels that the confinement order is about to end, and good days are coming, and he feels very happy. It's pleasure.

Wei Duan got out of the car and entered the house. After washing up, he put on light and casual clothes and sat down in the hall again. He picked up the tea he had just brewed and took a sip. Only then did he feel that the dullness and worry he had been feeling for days were finally over. Dissipated some.

Wei Duan prided himself on being a man of world affairs, and he had already become a benchmark for the children of the gentry clan in Guanzhong in the early years. When Fei Qian entered Guan, Wei Duan felt that he would naturally become Fei Qian's leader. An important component, and even became the pillar of his politics, but what he didn't expect was that Fei Qian didn't care about him at all, and appointed a series of newcomers such as Xun You and Pang Tong from the beginning...

At first, Wei Duan thought this was Fei Qian's stupid move.

Because in the Han Dynasty, when knowledge spread relatively slowly and was relatively difficult to obtain, many things were not in books or found in the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, some official methods were mostly passed down orally from relatives in the family, and were not included in the In addition, Wei Duan originally thought that none of Fei Qian's ancestors was an official. Although Xun You and Pang Tong came from a famous family, how many nails could he drive with his iron body? In addition, Xun You and Pang Tong, especially Pang Tong, are very young and have little experience, so there will definitely be mistakes and omissions...

But Wei Duan didn't see the joke made by Fei Qian and others, but made himself the joke. And because of the wrong choice at the beginning, Wei Duan also realized that he might not be able to reach the top of the officialdom. However, his reputation was already high and his family was powerful. If he could not serve as Sanhuai, it would be meaningless to serve as other minor officials. No matter how good a dean of the Senate is, there is no room for further progress. At most, he will work until death.

After adding the incident in Longxi and Longyou, Wei Duan could see more and more clearly...

"Kang'er..." Wei Duan said slowly, "What can you gain from observing the changes of the Longyou Qiang people in Longxi?" 』

"The changes of the Longyou Qiang people..." Wei Kang rolled his eyes, and then lengthened the interval between the sentences, trying to make Wei Duan unable to help but fill in the gaps, or provide further reminders, but unfortunately, this time he did not succeed. , Wei Duan was silent, without saying a word, just looking at it, which made Wei Kang feel a little nervous, "...this, this...what does father mean?" 』

"What do you think is the key point in the matter of Longyou and Longxi?" Wei Duan sighed slightly and changed his question.

Wei Kang thought for a moment, "Qiang people?" 』

"Huh... Qiang people?" ” Wei Duan shook his head, “No. 』

What is the point of the ant-like Qiang people?

Wei Kang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight hesitation: "So... is he a handsome Qiang person and a wealthy family in Longyou?" 』

Wei Duan shook his head again, "No. 』

"..." Wei Kang fell silent.

Wei Duan asked, "Can't you think of it?" 』

Wei Kang shook his head.

"..." Wei Duan sighed slightly, "It's "official"..." Wei Duan put his index finger and middle finger together and drew the word "official" in the air.

"Official?" ” Wei Kang was a little confused and didn’t understand what Wei Duan meant for a while.

"In the Han Dynasty, those who served the emperor to shepherd the people were officials and officials..." Wei Duan said slowly, "The officials appointed by the court and the leaders of various places were officials... In counties and counties, local officials When scholars take up official positions, most of them become officials..."

Wei Kang nodded to make it clear.

"Nodding means you understand?" What did you learn? ” Wei Duan took a look.

"Uh..." Wei Kang swallowed, and then said, "Prefecture magistrates are officials, and assistants are officials..." Isn't this common sense? Why is it brought up so formally today?

"Then what? asked Wei Duan.

"Then...then what?" ” Wei Kang said subconsciously.

Wei Duan closed his eyes. He wondered if Wei Kang had just eaten and slept at home during this period, and then slept and ate. He lay flat all day doing nothing, thinking about nothing, and reading no books. It will cause my thinking to be so slow now.

"What did I just ask?" Longyou, Longxi..." Wei Duan exhaled, "and said that the change of "officials" is the key to Longxi and Longyou... Forget it, let's put it this way, if we infer from the changes in Longxi and Longyou, Kang'er...are you willing to go to Longyou, Longxi, or to work in Hanzhong? 』

"What? Wei Kang opened his eyes wide, "Father...are you...are you going to drive the child away?" 』

Wei Duan shook his head and said: "If what you expected is true... Starting from Longxi and Longyou, all the officials... are appointed by the court, and there are no local children to choose from..."

"What? ! Wei Kang opened his mouth in surprise, "This...this...how is this possible?" 』

Wei Duan smiled bitterly, "This is the conspiracy of the hussar... ah..."
