Chapter 2505 Make a Sound

"Your Majesty! Think twice! 』

"The Prime Minister's move will shake the foundation of Yingchuan!" 』

"Xun Wenruo!" If you are still a descendant of the Xun family, you should do your best for the Xun family! 』

"Xun Jiazi!" The thousand-year foundation of the Xun clan has been destroyed by your hands! 』

"There is no trace of clan harmony or village goodwill! 』

"He is heartless and unrighteous, disrespectful and fatherless!" If your uncle is still there in the past, he will drive you out of the clan and remove your name! 』

"..."

Countless figures swayed in front of Xun Yu, and countless voices echoed in his ears.

Scolding, scolding, and cursing are all different.

These people did not dare to scold Cao Cao for fear of causing death, but they felt that scolding Xun Yu was natural and even unscrupulous.

After all, they knew that Xun Yu would not harm them. Just like why the keyboard warriors of later generations are so rampant on the Internet, it is because the keyboard warrior knows that even if he does something outrageous, no one will follow the network cable to beat him. Therefore, it will be a lot better after the Internet police check the water meter...

The more Xun Yu tolerated, the louder these people became.

At first, he just cooed behind his back, then he went to the side and babbled, and in the end, he just jumped directly in front of Xun Yu, gesticulating, cursing, and crying...

What is very interesting is that such a group of people actually appeared in front of Xun Yu a few years ago.

That was when Xun Yu took office, these people almost took turns. In the same way, they tried their best to appear in front of Xun Yu, and then Qiqing showed up, but they just changed their rhetoric.

Now it is anger and scolding, before it was laughter and flattery.

At that time, Xun Yu had just ascended the throne, and these people felt that it was not just Xun Yu who became the emperor, but these people all served as the emperor together.

"Did you know that a certain person is from the same clan as Xun Lingjun?" 』

"Oh oh oh oh, long time admiration..."

What is it that you have been admiring for so long?

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

This is tradition.

But now, the previous "long admiration" seems to have been that of admiring for too long, forming a habit, and then losing it makes me feel sad, gnashing my teeth and contorting my face, as if I want to swallow Xun Yusheng.

The reason is simply because Xun Yu exposed it, or Xun Yu did not stop Cao Cao from uncovering their ugliness, exposing their evil, and did not stand in front of them to resist Cao Cao's knife for them!

Therefore, this is Xun Yu's "unloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and unrighteousness"!

Thousands of people pointed out that they died without any disease.

Maybe some people will openly say that everything is trivial when they are not criticized, but not everyone can hold on after such a thing really happens.

Xun Yu couldn't hold it any longer.

He had thought that he might encounter such a situation, but he didn't expect it to be so eye-catching.

There will be so many voices!

It is normal to do wrong things. The sages say, who can be without fault? It's a mistake, just correct it.

Which is more important, immediate money or future wealth?

Xun Yu thought it was the latter, and then everyone else laughed loudly. Only the children made the choice, and the adults wanted them all!

Want them all?

Xun Yu also knew that in fact, many people in Yingchuan were doing something under his banner. Xun Yu heard that some tribesmen would easily say to outsiders that "our guests are not polite", and then said that certain things are "the law of Yingchuan. Once you come to Yingchuan, you should follow it"...

Then there are various requirements, and if they fail to do so, they will be fined. For example, if a tree at the door of the common people is missing branches, a fine of 100,000 yuan will be required at least. However, if the common people encounter some difficulties, the numerous small officials who came to pay the fine will be busy.

Are you busy?

It's really busy.

Busy making money, busy attending various banquets, busy eating, drinking and complimenting each other...

Xun Yu sighed slightly.

How good are these petty officials that they really focus their energy on "care"?

Rather than just "lighting".

The more he served as the minister, the more schizophrenic he felt. Of course, Xun Yu didn't know the term schizophrenia, which was only used in later generations, but it did not prevent him from truly feeling such a state.

On the one hand, Xun Yu had great emotional pity for the people at the grassroots level, and he knew in his heart the pain and helplessness faced by those people, but at the same time, intellectually, he had to protect the officials of the Han Dynasty and the officials of Yingchuan, even knowing that These guys are telling lies...

Xun Yu knew that these officials had problems. These officials also knew that they had problems. People know the problem.

But now Cao Cao roars, and then the problem arises...

"Fake! This is all fake! 』

"We're fine!" 』

"The one with the problem is Prime Minister Cao!" 』

"Doesn't Prime Minister Cao himself have any problems at all?" 』

"Even if we have problems, they are due to our negligence, occasional mistakes, unintentional actions, and accidental mistakes... And you, Prime Minister Cao, are staring at such things every day, which is a big problem in itself!" 』

In fact, people in Yingchuan have been discussing the matter of replacing Dahan's agent privately for a long time.

If Fei Qian hadn't implemented some new policies in Guanzhong at that time, which made people in Shandong worried, it would be unbelievable that as soon as Cao Cao left the city gate, someone would be cheering in the long street!

Even so, there are still people who would imagine how beautiful it would be if Feiqian could be a little more tolerant and accommodating, and everyone could be more harmonious, make money together, sit in the court together, and have a cup of wine!

After all, Cao Cao was already a bit disgusting to the people of Shandong at that time. The Cao family and the Xiahou family controlled too many positions, while Fei Qian was relatively thin in population. No matter how much he eats and occupies, he still can't occupy that much. The pit...

Ever since, after Fei Qian led the army and met with Cao Cao outside Xu County, someone spread it privately that Cao Cao had reached a certain deal with Fei Qian and betrayed Yingchuan's interests. Cao Cao would definitely become Yingchuan in the future. Sichuan's enemies...

Now is the time for such a "prophecy" to appear.

Some people even linked Cao Cao's current actions with the emperor's anger!

Cao Cao now wants blood energy to blind the emperor's energy!

Make the emperor chaotic, make all officials incompetent, make the world upside down and the sun and moon lack light!

Yuzhou was once the imperial hometown of the Han Dynasty.

Nanyang is the land of Longxing!

In Yuzhou, in Nanyang, and in Yingchuan, if you look up any house that is famous, has some land, has some storefronts, or has some mansions and courtyards, you will see that it is not the same as when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was. Contact us?

This is the foundation, this is the aristocratic family!

In the nearly two hundred years after Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, these aristocratic families were connected with each other. They married, branched, migrated, and were promoted, forming a huge network that tightly wrapped the Han Dynasty. body.

In fact, every node on this large network is not independent. Just like Xun Yu himself, he is just a larger point on this network.

This is why Xun Yu clearly knew, but sometimes he had to act like he didn't know. He can remove one or two nodes on the network, but he cannot tear open this huge network. Is there a problem with Yingchuan's current taxation? No, it's not. It's just that things were stable before and there was no war, so the problems in Yingchuan were covered up. Now the world is difficult, with powerful enemies outside and disasters inside, which has led to the problems in Yingchuan being exposed.

Xun Yu had been persuading Cao Cao to slow down before. In fact, among many factors, he may not have wanted to cause conflict between Cao Cao and Yingchuan, and he may not have had the idea of ​​​​escape...

It's just a pity that the conflict between Cao Cao and Yingchuan, no, and the entire gentry network, still broke out irreconcilably. Perhaps it was because General Fei Qian of the Hussars was approaching, and there were examples of Longyou and Longxi, so Cao Cao took action without hesitation.

Cao Cao stood on the left side of Xun Yu, shouting, "You forced me, Wen Ruo, are you one of mine? Why don't you go up and kill them!"

The nobles stood on the right side of Xun Yu and shouted, "You are the one who forced me. Wen Ruo, are you one of mine? Why don't you go up and kill Cao Cao?"

Emperor? The emperor looked in the sky, looking to the left and to the right, and felt that whether Cao Cao was killed or the nobles were killed, it seemed to be OK. He seemed to have forgotten that there was a Fei Qian in Guanzhong staring here.

Xun Yu was left in a dilemma and schizophrenic.

"Where is your husband?" ” Guo Jia’s voice came from the front yard.

"..." A thin voice. It must have been the butler who was whispering back.

"oh? No meal? ” Guo Jia laughed, his voice getting louder and louder, “It’s okay, I’ll bring it! Not only did I bring food, but I also brought drinks! Well, that’s right, hahaha, I’ll treat you to a drink this time! 』

Guo Jia actually brought his own wine? This was almost like the sun rising from the west, which also made Xun Yu raise his head and look out of the hall.

Guo Jia walked in with a smile, followed by his steward.

Yes, there are also food and drinks.

This was so rare that Xun Yu's steward still looked in disbelief at the back...

Guo Jia sat down with a smile.

Xun Yu watched silently as the steward took out the dishes from the food box, then directed the servants to place the clay stove aside, poured the wine into the wine jar, and placed it on the clay stove to warm. stand up.

After finishing these things, the steward nodded to Xun Yu, and then quietly retreated with his servants, leaving the space for Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

"Are you here to congratulate me on my death?" Xun Yu said lightly.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "No, I'm here to celebrate your new life." 』

"Life is worse than death." Xun Yu still spoke calmly.

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, "You are alive now, and you will live...at least better than before..."

Guo Jia added in his mind, "As long as you don't mind your own business." 』

Xun Yu looked at the lees that gradually warmed up and rolled up in the wine. He couldn't help but blurt out, "I didn't even buy the wine..."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "How can I have money?" This is still on credit! 』

Xun Yu couldn't help but be stunned, "You're using my name again?" 』

Guo Jia continued to laugh, "If you ask me, will the shop dare to give you credit?" The store owner didn’t recognize me. 』

"The one on the east side of the city?" It’s not like..." Xun Yu looked at the dishes. They were very ordinary.

And the one in the east of the city...

"Yes, it's not to the east of the city, but to the west of the city... and it's outside the city. ” Guo Jia pulled a bean plate and brought it to Xun Yu, “The one in front of the inn. Small shop. It's very small, with only three tables and five seats. There's a straw hut above, rammed earth under your feet, dishes cooked in earthen stoves, and dishes washed with well water... How about it, eat it or not? 』

Xun Yu frowned. He has a bit of mysophobia, but not a serious one.

The dishes are very ordinary, including radish and cyanine which are common among Chinese people. And because vegetables in the Han Dynasty are different from those in later generations, most vegetables have not been carefully screened and cultivated. Especially in Shandong, there is no reorganization of Dasinong like Feiqian Guanzhong. Zao Zhi was asked to specialize in research and improvement in this area, so the dishes in front of Xun Yu were still smaller and more fibrous.

With the rise of stir-frying in Guanzhong and humans' innate desire for oil, it spread in Shandong and other places. Even in rural stations, stir-frying was started instead of just stewing in large pots.

What was in front of Xun Yu were fried radishes and carrots.

I don’t know if it’s the ingredients or the technique, but these two dishes not only lack the so-called glowing appearance of later generations, but can even be described as “dim”. They just don’t taste good at all. . But Guo Jia took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, shaking his head and tasting it, as if he was facing a supreme delicacy.

Xun Yu glanced sideways at Guo Jia, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of radish, and put it in his mouth. His brows immediately wrinkled, "It's salty." 』

Not only is it salty, but because it uses coarse salt, there is even a bit of bitterness in the saltiness, and even a bit of earthy fishy smell.

The radish was also relatively shriveled. It had lost its moisture and was not fresh enough. It was like eating a thin piece of wood. However, Guo Jia ate it very deliciously.

"This is what the common people eat..." Guo Jia poured a bowl of turbid wine for Xun Yu, "You think it's salty, but they're afraid it's not salty..."

Xun Yu was silent for a while. He knew that working people needed more salt intake, "So, is this what you want to say?" 』

Guo Jia nodded, raised the wine bowl, and signaled to Xun Yu, "Yes." This is it. Also, isn’t it enough that the people can remember you? What more do you want? Will it be passed down through the ages? Then you might as well write a book, maybe the chances are better. 』

When Guo Jia saw Xun Yu not holding the wine bowl, he lightly touched Xun Yu's wine bowl without caring, "Besides, even if you really write a book, there is a chance that no one will read it, and you will have no money and no fame." ...Maybe a lot of people will scold you..."

Xun Yu sighed, "I just..."

Xun Yu said half-way, but fell silent. Then he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine is dirty wine, and the food is bad food.

The wine is sour and the vegetables are salty and bitter.

Xun Yu couldn't help it. There was a little glimmer of water in the corner of his eyes. He immediately turned his head and wiped it away with his sleeve.

What he once worked hard to maintain, he now doesn't appreciate.

He once tried his best to maintain it, but now he is ungrateful.

So what is he?

What's the point of what he did?

Then Guo Jia brought him an answer.

Astringent wine, pickles.

But it made Xun Yu feel his own existence again. It turned out that he could still feel good and bad, taste salty and salty, and clearly distinguish what was right and what was wrong...

"Chen Changwen impeached you..." Guo Jia picked up a piece of salty radish and smacked his lips, "What do you think?" 』

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and shook his head. I don’t know whether he is expressing that he has no opinion or that he doesn’t care anymore.

Guo Jia laughed twice and lowered his voice, "Before, I thought that Chen Changwen was too much... Now it seems that it is true... On the surface, he seems to be impeaching you, but in fact, he is trying to impeach you." Defending you... But, on the surface, I am protecting you, but in fact, I am also trying to frame you..."

"Does he think he can hide his little thoughts? ” Guo Jia laughed twice disdainfully, “It’s like this bowl of wine. If it doesn’t move, the dregs underneath won’t rise up, but after it is moved... it will float up and be exposed... ”

"A gentleman does not have utensils because he does not fight..." Guo Jia held the wine bowl and said, "Chen Changwen, this utensil is not enough..."

Guo Jia didn't know the "youth version" of later generations, so he could only say Chen Qun's "qi", otherwise he would definitely say it. Because there is nothing more ironic and derogatory than the "youth version". It seems to be similar on the outside, but then something has been cut, cut, or discounted internally. What does it mean? Should the young ones be left over from the middle-aged ones? discounted? Processed? Has the engine been repaired? Secretly damaged internally? What a great name!

Xun Yu waved his hands, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.

"In a few days, the lord will come to see you..." Seeing Xun Yu like this, Guo Jia didn't say much. He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "You know, General Qiusi, hey , sent gunpowder! 』

Xun Yu's expression suddenly changed, "What?" 』

Guo Jia laughed, "Didn't you expect that?" So this matter will be over soon! 』

Isn't this group of people in Shandong trying to resist with the help of Wubao and city walls? Now that there is gunpowder, when those who claim to be strong and proud are faced with new technologies and new productivity, even if they want to stand still, they will be broken...

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at Xun Yu, "Let's agree first. After a while, when those people turn around and come to you again, please, kneel down in front of you and cry and whine. You have to be able to bear it!" 』

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and did not talk about his own affairs, but said: "I'm afraid... it's not that easy..."

"Are you talking about people?" ” Guo Jia chuckled, “Since we have gunpowder, why worry about not having anyone?” 』

Xun Yu's eyes widened.

Guo Jia smiled and nodded.

"But..." Xun Yu couldn't figure it out, "Why..."

"Human... Hehehe..." Guo Jia breathed out, "Perhaps, on this matter, Qiaoqi and the lord... have thought of it together... Come, take this bowl, respect the lord!" Are you following the way? Please pay respect to the hussar! 』

Xun Yu was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, picked up the wine bowl, and touched it with Guo Jia, "I hope..."
