Chapter 3245: Jing Zheng

Chapter 3244: Serious

Zhen Mi stood in the vestibule, looking up at the sky, revealing a small section of her neck, which was smooth and delicate, like jade, and seemed to glow under the light.

There is a peach blossom tree in the courtyard.

The figure of the peach tree is definitely not as tall and straight as that of the birch tree. It is more like a girl who has just put on makeup, standing quietly in the courtyard. Her branches are soft and elastic, as if after a winter of silence, they are eagerly stretching to welcome the arrival of new life.

The peach blossoms on the tree are her most beautiful decoration.

Peach blossoms abound.

Each peach blossom is like a carefully carved work of art. The petals are layered in layers, soft and delicate, as if they will break at the slightest touch. There is a faint fragrance exuding from the stamens. The fragrance is neither strong nor pungent, but it is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.

The night wind blew by, and the branches and leaves of the peach tree swayed gently, as if they were whispering to Zhen Mi.

"Madam, Webster is out... heading towards the Hundred Medical Center..."

"Hundred Medical Clinic?" ” Zhen Mi’s eyes moved, “Didn’t you go to Hussar Mansion? 』

"No. Go directly to Baiyi Clinic. ” said the maid in a low voice as if she was carrying two rabbits.

Hearing the maid's answer, Zhen Mi lowered her eyes slightly. After a moment, she nodded and said, "It's really interesting." 』

The little rabbit maid shrank her head slightly, just like a quiet little rabbit.

Zhen Mi stretched out her hand and caught a piece of peach blossom petals blown by the wind, "What do you think...what will happen to Webster...this time?" 』

The little rabbit lowered his head, "How could the maid know this?" 』

"Stop pretending, there are no outsiders here. ” Zhen Mi scolded in a low voice.

The little rabbit raised his head and rolled his eyes, "Let me tell you... eliminate all evil without leaving any remaining trouble." The Hussars should have taken action back then, but until now... I think it's a bit late! 』

Zhen Mi smiled, and for a moment she was even more beautiful than a peach blossom, which made the little rabbit maid a little obsessed, "Ah, the little lady is so beautiful!" 』

"Poor-tongued again." ” Zhen Mi glanced at Little Rabbit, “Would you do it earlier? If we had taken action earlier, it wouldn't have been as subtle as it is now... Didn't you hear about the Cui family incident in Hedong? 』

Little Rabbit nodded and said, "It is said that Ms. Cui still has some friendship with the hussars in the past, and she was once the assistant of Humerus..."

"So do you understand?" Zhen Mi said softly, "Meat-eaters, are they not stupid if they give up eating fish because it hurts them?" If the lord comes to the world, he should treat everyone in the world as his enemy..."

"People of the world?" ” Little Rabbit asked doubtfully, “How can he be from the world? 』

"Everyone in the world has his or her own interests." ” Zhen Mi replied.

"Private?" ’ The little rabbit couldn’t understand.

"What are the Three Lords?" Why are they called the Three "Gongs"? ” Zhen Mi asked.

"ah? ” Little Rabbit has never thought about this matter. Everyone calls it this, so she regards it as ordinary and does not delve into the mystery at all.

"If it is based on the title, why not call it the third "Tai" or the third "Si"? ” Zhen Mi asked.

Zhou established the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Protector as the Three Dukes.

From the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Da Sima, Da Situ and Da Sikong were the three princes.

Therefore, nowadays the Three Dukes are actually often referred to interchangeably, and some call Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong the Three Dukes, and then the Grand Master, Taifu, and Taibao are specifically called the Three Dukes...

However, Zhen Mi was obviously not asking about the evolution of the names of these positions, but why they were called "public"?

"Well... this... Gai Yin Shang took Xibochang, Jiuhou, and Ehou as the three chiefs, so he called it..." the little rabbit frowned and said, "No... if it is called this, it can also be called Three kings, three princes, and three chiefs, why are they called "gong"? Could it be because this is the word "公"? 』

"In ancient times, the ministers of the dynasty were called, and the Dukes of the Spring and Autumn Period were called the princes. Zhen Mi said slowly, "However, the meaning of "public" is public and common." Therefore, the "lord" is the enemy of the selfish desires of everyone in the world. The master is the public. If he cannot be public, he has no master. 』

Zhen Mi had a sigh of relief on her face.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with the people Zhen Mi saw in Shandong who fought with each other for selfish desires, and many nobles in Shandong who appeared to be glorious on the surface but were actually dirty and despicable, Fei Qian was at least in most cases. When it comes to time, we consider the majority, so calling us "Lord" is not just a verbal respect.

"During the former Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor was a public servant, but the world was private..." Zhen Mi said in a low voice, "Now... I don't know about my lord's new law... Sigh..."

Little Rabbit was a little confused and tilted his head.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period," Zhen Mi said, "the seven kingdoms had eight laws, and each place had its own private laws. Everything in the world was private property. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, public relations could not be established..."

The little rabbit scratched his head and felt as if something had grown.

Zhen Mi waved her hands and said, "You don't understand even if I tell you..."

The little rabbit said with a smile: "I know Qiusi is good!" 』

Zhen Mi glanced at Little Rabbit.

"Mom, do you want me to go see the excitement again?" asked the little rabbit.

If it had been before, it is impossible for Zhen Mi to join in the fun, but today, on the one hand, Zhen Mi felt something was abnormal, and on the other hand, she also felt that Wei's behavior was not much different from that of the nobles in Shandong, so she felt that It was a bit boring, so he shook his head and said, "No need to go." 』

She felt that what the cavalry commander Fei Qian was going to do was comparable to that of the First Emperor, so her more important task at the moment was not to watch the fun, nor to say a few nice words, but to provide real help...

"Cui, Wei," Zhen Mi muttered in a low voice, and then turned and walked into the hall, "Take charge of the fire, and then go get the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce... Oh, and the list of caravan owners..."

The little rabbit was stunned, "Young lady?"

"Since the lord wants to be the master of the world, he should control everything, whether it is scholars, farmers, merchants, or businessmen... "Zhen Mi muttered in a low voice, "Oxen and horses are docile, and they are used for farming, tigers and wolves are ferocious, and they are used for hunting... These vacancies must be filled... "

A truly smart person can do things within the scale with ease.

For example, Pang Tong, for example, Xun You.

But if someone goes beyond the scale, Fei Qian will never indulge them for a long time.

For example, Cui Jun, for example, Wei Duan. If there are talents but they cannot be used, it is a failure of the monarch's duty. However, if someone is greedy and bullies the superiors and the subordinates with talents, then no matter how talented he is, he is not worthy of being used.

The greater the contribution, the more respected the position he will enjoy.

Fei Qian is dedicated to the public, so he will naturally be expected to become the master of the world.

Cui Jun and Wei Duan are not unintelligent, but it is a pity that their intelligence is used for selfish desires, so they are naturally blinded by selfish desires and blurred by their reason and eyes.

If they don't even understand this principle, then their death will be in vain...

Cui Jun's Cui family caravan and Wei Duan's Guanzhong assets will always have to be taken over by someone.

Zhen Mi doesn't mind adding a little more responsibility to her shoulders.

In this way, in the future...

Zhen Mi's face suddenly flashed a blush, and her eyes were full of waves.

...

...

At the Hundred Medical Clinic, Wei Duan's face flushed and sweat broke out on his forehead under the light of the fire.

He was a little panicked.

When he first saw Wang Xiang, Wei Duan was not afraid.

Because Wang Xiang was young.

When Wang Xiang was still studying in the academy and taking part in the competition, Wei Duan had already achieved success and fame. This psychological advantage made Wei Duan seem somewhat at ease when facing Wang Xiang's questioning.

For Wang Xiang and young students like him, Wei Duan is an "old senior". This seniority is actually more reflected in the mastery of scriptures. Wei Duan obviously knows how to seize a high position better than Wang Xiang.

In short, Wei Duan is better than Wang Xiang at blaming others...

"Everyone, everyone! The prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the rule of Wen and Jing, and the revival of Guangwu, the people all live and work in peace. This is the time when the Han Dynasty ruled the country, but it is not only due to wise monarchs and good generals, but also requires the people's support. The people are the foundation of the country; trust is the people's support. Therefore, the ancient sage kings valued trust as gold, and the country lasted long by trusting the people! Everyone knows that the cavalry valued trust! '

'In ancient times, Xia Jie lost his way and Yin Zhou lost his morality, all because of losing the trust of the people, which led to the overthrow of the country. To win the trust of the people is like planting trees and waiting for them to grow into a forest. You can't rush for quick success and instant benefits. It's difficult to see the results in a moment. Alas! Without the trust of the people, there is no place! Trust is the great virtue of the world. Gentlemen take trust as the foundation, and the country takes trust as the basis. Trust to the people is like water to fish, which is indispensable. If the country loses its trust, the people will lose their support, just like a boat without a rudder, how can it be saved? '

'Now there are worries in the medical clinics, and Duke Zheng died in the city, which is because the people can't trust it! It is necessary to know that trust is established before orders are carried out, orders are carried out before the government is clean, the government is clean before the people are satisfied, and the country is prosperous after the people are satisfied. Now there is no real evidence to prove it, and there is no real evidence to confirm its actions, how can we win the trust of the people? '

'Alas! The teachings of the ancients are based on trust and supplemented by virtue. If this is possible, why worry about the country not being prosperous and the people not being rich? The most important thing for a country is trust. Since Wang Zan said that the Hundred Medical Clinics had no faults, why should we fear supervision? We all read the books of sages and have received the grace of Zheng Gong's annotations to the scriptures. This time, we came here not to offend anyone, but just to know the truth about Zheng Gong's death. Is this not allowed? '

'If it is not allowed, please speak clearly! '

After Wei Duan finished speaking, there was a chorus of echoes, buzzing and chattering, just like the +1, +2, +6, +10086 and so on under some comments in later generations.

Wei Duan was undoubtedly cunning. He just seized on Zheng Xuan's death and said that he and the people around him had received the grace of Zheng Xuan's teaching of scriptures, so after learning about Zheng Xuan's death, they all wanted to know the "truth", and said that the cavalry emphasized "gaining the trust of the people", right? So today he came to get the truth, not to target anyone in particular.

Of course, that's what he said, but in reality...

The people watching around may not all share the same view as Wei Duan, nor do they stand in the same place as Wei Duan. They just watch the excitement by nature, and with some other thoughts, they echo and speak out, as if to support Wei Duan.

In fact, this is just like laughing when you see a well-dressed person stepping on a banana peel and falling on the street. Most people have no grudges against the person who fell, and they will not get any actual benefits because of the person's fall. However, seeing the well-dressed person fall and the person in power being questioned and speechless, it is inevitable that they will feel a little proud of "you have come to this day".

Wei Duan saw that Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, and he was also quite satisfied, stroking his beard complacently.

Wei Duan didn't really want any "inspection", nor did he think that his request could be met, because Wei Duan knew that this was not in line with the process.

If Wang Xiang agreed to let ordinary people today, even if the word "ordinary" is debatable, but if he agreed, then what ordinary people would want to check other institutions in the future, and would they agree or not?

Indeed, compared with other new-style governments of the cavalry, the Hundred Medical Hall is more like a semi-civilian institution with a strong academic atmosphere, and it is not the kind of place that is so secret that no outsiders can see it at all, but it represents a corner of the Feiqian new system after all, a piece of the puzzle.

So Wei Duan knew that his request would most likely not be agreed to...

Although the Hundred Medical Hall is very small for the entire Feiqian new system, it is actually the breakthrough point carefully selected by Wei Duan.

Just like Wei Duan has been emphasizing that "the cavalry values ​​trust", trust is difficult to establish, but it is easy to destroy.

As long as the Hundred Medical Hall is discredited, it is equivalent to leaving a haze, a seed, and a pimple under the Feiqian new system. When necessary, this haze will expand, the seed will sprout, and the pimple will become a serious disease!

The reason why the people don't trust the government is often due to such "small" things...

Wei Duan understands it too well.

Three people make a tiger, it has been played in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

The truth is the least important...

Wei Duan can be sure that Wang Xiang will not let him investigate, and then Wei Duan can turn around naturally, pretending to be strong-willed and speak for the cavalry and the Hundred Medical Hall, and persuade others to go back for the overall situation, for the country, for the country, and so on, and then reap a wave of traffic and a reputation.

After all, before Fei Qian came to Chang'an, Wei Duan had already harvested such reputation many times, and he was proficient in the business.

But what Wei Duan never expected was that when he was about to sing a high-profile song and wanted to leave, Kan Ze appeared.

Kan Ze walked out of the Hundred Medical Hall...

"You...you you..." Wei Duan's eyes widened in horror.

Under the flickering lights, Wei Duan could not see the people coming at a glance, but Kan Ze and others were too distinctive, and their tall Xiezhi crowns made their identities obvious.

"Brother Wei, do you think I am in Mobei?" Kan Ze said slowly, his tone calm, neither sad nor happy.

"Uh..." Wei Duan's previous pleasure was like the remaining snow under the scorching sun, which dissipated in an instant, and his back began to feel cold and his head began to sweat.

He found that something was wrong...

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but a group of people blocked him from behind, so he could not retreat. He could only stand there awkwardly, his eyes rolling around, as if he was looking for a gap to get out.

When Kan Ze and his subordinates from Youwensi stood on the steps of Baiyiguan and looked around, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.

"..." Kan Ze did not speak immediately, but just stood there silently, his eyes sharp, as if they were real.

The torches crackled.

The night wind blew past.

There seemed to be a cricket on the top of the wall, chirping a few times.

Wei Duan saw that the situation was not good, and forced a smile. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Kan Ze's hand.

『Please come in, Guo Zi Ni! 』

The people from the Ministry of Information slightly separated to the sides, revealing a middle-aged man with a sluggish figure, a tired face, and a sad expression. It was Zheng Xuan's disciple Guo Yuan.

Zheng Xuan had many disciples, but they were mixed. There were greedy ones and loyal ones.

Guo Yuan's ambition, or desire, was not strong, so after he came to Zheng Xuan, he spent more time taking care of Zheng Xuan and studying scriptures. Fei Qian once invited Guo Yuan to serve as an official, but Guo Yuan said that Zheng Xuan was old and needed someone to take care of him, so he refused the official position given by Fei Qian.

Guo Yuan staggered forward and almost fell down the stairs with an unsteady step.

Kan Ze was quick to support him, "Zini, please accept my condolences. 』

Guo Yuan nodded, then looked at everyone, and just as he said the word "Master", tears started to flow down his face, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Master... Master suddenly fell ill, fortunately Doctor Hua saved his life... But, but... But Master was old... Although Baiyi Clinic took good care of him, his end was over, and it was beyond human power to save him... At the time of his death... Master, Master left a last letter..."

After Guo Yuan finished speaking, someone raised a piece of cloth.

Under the light, several crooked words appeared in front of everyone.

'Jing, Zheng, Xing, Shen...'

Someone was muttering, and then a bunch of people were repeating it.

Wei Duan's face turned pale.

It's not that Zheng Xuan's last words pointed out that Wei Duan had any problems, but this letter proved from the side that Zheng Xuan's death was due to his death, and there was no other connection, and there was no conspiracy, so his previous smearing of Baiyiguan also seemed pale because of these few words...

Wei Duan was very smart, and he understood the meaning of Zheng Xuan's words almost instantly.

When a person is about to die, what he thinks about must be the person he cares about most, or the most important matter.

The few words left by Zheng Xuan are crooked and shapeless, but they also happen to prove that this book is Zheng Xuan's last work, and what Zheng Xuan thinks in his heart at the end of his life is still the right way of classics, and he feels that he has finally done the "right" thing in classics in his life and is "fortunate"!

This is consistent with the idea of ​​"seeking truth and justice" promoted by the cavalry in Qinglong Temple. It shows that Zheng Xuan felt that the cavalry was right to promote Qinglong Temple. He was pleased that he could do "justice". On the other hand, it was also Zheng Xuan's expectation for future generations. He hoped that future generations would continue to do "justice". Then Zheng Xuan would be "fortunate"...

Wei Duan was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Just when he was about to say a few polite words and take the opportunity to slip away, he suddenly heard a voice behind him shouting: "This is a fake book of Zheng Gong!"

Wei Duan was frightened and turned his head to see that it was Wang Xiong who had followed him all the way. He walked forward with a fierce momentum and a ferocious face, pointing at the suicide note and shouting, "This is fake! I have evidence!"

Wang Xiong walked a few steps to the steps, as if he was going to take out some evidence from his arms, but he didn't expect that he took out a short blade, and rushed straight to Kan Ze on the steps!
