Chapter 1266 Chess pieces and chess players
"Pei Gong, this is not quite the same as what I said at the beginning!"
In the mansion of General Bei Da, in a small courtyard where servants were not allowed to approach, someone looked suspiciously at someone Pei sitting on the main seat.
And most of the people around him also looked incredulous.
Hearing this, Pei Qian snorted heavily, without raising his eyelids, but replied in a bad tone:
"Why don't you go talk to Da Sima?"
One sentence choked everyone on the spot.
Someone could not help but slander:
If we have the opportunity to confront Feng Wenhe in court, why do we still need you to be our spokesperson?
Of course, it is not necessary to persuade Da Sima in court.
As long as Da Sima can meet them, it would be great for them to have the opportunity to tell Da Sima about the suffering of local tyranny.
Unfortunately, the threshold for Da Sima Mansion is really too high.
The gate of Da Sima Mansion is really too difficult to enter.
It seemed that he could see what everyone was thinking, but seeing Pei Qian coldly snorted again:
"At the beginning when you asked to come to the old man's house, the old man showed his old face because of the solidarity of the Kanto clan, but he was publicly humiliated by Feng Mingwen in the court hall."
Having said that, he raised his eyelids and looked at everyone coldly:
"What? The result is not as you expected, you are not happy, so the old man is very happy?"
Seeing Pei Qian like this, and remembering that he was murdered by someone Feng in the court hall, someone quickly laughed along with him:
"Dare not, dare not!"
"It's just that Feng Mingwen is really deceiving people too much! Mr. Pei abandoned the post of Wei Zhishangshuling and came to seek refuge in the Han Kingdom regardless of danger. He never thought that he would be humiliated by Feng Mingwen in this way. Feng's is really inappropriate. son!"
"Yes, yes! If he does this, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of the people with lofty ideals? Doesn't this make the loyal people who want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty stagnate?"
…
Hearing the people below talking a lot, slandering Feng Da Sima.
Pei Qian raised his teacup again to cover up, and at the same time there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
After taking a sip of tea, after they vented a bit, they put down the teacup and said:
"Feng Mingwen is known for his foresight and foresight, how can he fail to see this?"
Hearing him speak, everyone fell silent, Qi Qi looked at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian continued to speak slowly, "Before I talk about Feng Mingwen's plan, I have some doubts. I would like to ask everyone present, given the current strength of Wei and Han, does Wei Guo still have a chance of winning?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone fell silent.
If it was before the battle of the Shangdang, some people may think that Wei Guo may not have no hope of driving Han Guo out of Guanzhong.
But after the First World War in Shangdang, no one dared to say that anymore.
At least everyone present did not have this confidence.
If not, what are they eager to do in Chang'an?
With the ability of Sima Yi, he led the elite soldiers of the Wei State and took such a big advantage at the beginning. Not only did he fail to defend Shangdang, he was even driven to Jizhou by the opponent.
I heard that even Hangu Pass was lost in the end.
Originally Han was strong and Wei was weak, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, the two power ministers of the Wei state, were still at odds with each other.
How can I fight this?
It can be said that the battle of Shangdang completely defeated many Kanto aristocratic families.
In other words, many members of the Kanto family felt hopeless.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Pei Qian already had an answer in his heart. He waited for a while, but no one answered, so he continued on his own:
"There are no outsiders here, so the old man just speaks what is in his heart. The reason why the old man abandoned Wei's high position and is willing to surrender to the Han is because he knows that Wei is difficult to defeat the Han."
"And you, even if you can't see the general trend of the world clearly, you should know that the Han is strong and the Wei is weak, otherwise, there will be no move to come to the old man to intercede."
As he spoke, Pei Qian pointed at everyone, "Things that you can all see, guess if Feng Mingwen, who is known for his foresight, can see it?"
As soon as this remark came out, it was even more difficult for everyone to answer.
After a while, someone asked in a difficult tone:
"Pei Gong means that Feng Mingwen did it on purpose, or did he have other plans?"
Pei Qian sneered:
"Given the current situation of the big man, what other schemes does Feng Mingwen need? He did it on purpose, deliberately forcing the aristocratic families from the Kanto region to move into Guanzhong."
"It's called Tongyi, but what is the difference between it and the former Hanling Yi? It's just a different name."
Pei Qian's words mercilessly crushed everyone's fluke mentality and that trace of fantasy:
"He is not afraid of the Guandong refusal at all! In the past, the great Han only occupied one state, and Wei was strong and the Han was weak, so he dared to kill the family in Shu. Now that the Han is strong and Wei is weak, how can he have any reason to be afraid?"
How did the cruel Xiaowenhe get his name?
It was built with the bones of the barbarians in Nanzhong, and the countless blood and tears of the aristocratic families in Shu.
When everyone heard this, a trace of despair suddenly rose in most of them.
Along with despair, there is also that full of resentment.
It's just this kind of desperate resentment that makes people feel extremely aggrieved.
Pei Qian took everyone's expressions into his eyes, knowing that the heat had come, so he slowed down his tone:
"But in fact, you don't have to worry. Although Feng Mingwen is ruthless, he is definitely not a person who drives people to a dead end."
"If you don't believe me, look at the current Nanzhong, look at the current Shu land? He is the great Sima of the big man!"
Pei Qian emphasized his tone, "He can give the Hu Yi people a way out, so how can he drive the big Han officials to a dead end?"
After more than ten years of development, Nanzhong of the Great Han Dynasty has re-drilled the five-foot road left by the Qin Dynasty, and restored the legendary trading splendor.
Part of the world-famous brown sugar is produced in Nanzhong.
The honey wine sought after by those caravan guard porters is only produced in Nanzhong.
Even the children of Yi people can go to school, and they can even be recommended to study in Chang'an.
"That's right, when Mr. Pei said that, I also remembered it. The family of Li's clan in Shu, the worst place in the past, I heard that there are children who are now serving as officials in Liangzhou..."
Not only in Liangzhou, although the aristocratic families in Shu have suffered a lot in the past few years, they are not rejected for admission to the Royal Academy established by Feng alone, not to mention entering official positions.
Someone's eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked:
"Pei Gong is saying that we also have a chance?"
Pei Qian smiled enigmatically:
"Opportunities are for those who are willing." He looked at everyone, "I think everyone is clear about the attitude of the big man towards the aristocratic family."
He sighed, "In the future, it will be almost impossible for us big clans to be as free as we have been in these years."
This sentence really touched everyone's heart.
That's right, after the Great Wei Wen Emperor ascended the throne, everyone thought that the best era for aristocratic families was coming.
Unexpectedly, only a few years have passed since the good times, and Ji Han popped up from Sichuan again.
And in just over ten years, Wei was almost torn apart.
This Liu family, could it be that it is the destiny?
"Ji Han just recovered Guanzhong, and the emperor immediately moved the capital to Chang'an, and now he is moving the Kanto clan into Guanzhong. In my opinion, this is an attempt to follow the example of the former Han!"
"That's why the old man thinks that everyone should make plans as soon as possible. The former Han Dynasty wanted to suppress the wealthy families in the Guandong, but it achieved the prosperity of the Wuling."
"Nowadays, the Ji Han wants to suppress us and other Kanto families, and the current Kanto family is much stronger than the former Han dynasty. Could it be that we can't turn to the guests and create another grand occasion of the Five Tombs?"
Pingling alone produced five prime ministers in the former Han Dynasty.
Among them, the famous Jingzhao Webster, in the former Han Dynasty, was the third generation and third prince, and the fourth generation was a noble family in Guannei, who also moved to Pingling.
Seeing that most people still have hesitation on their faces.
Pei Qian continued:
"The old man knows that letting everyone abandon the foundation of their family business and move to Guanzhong is a major event related to the life and death of the entire family."
"Whoever has a choice, who is willing to do this? It's just that with Feng Mingwen's heart, once the order is implemented, it must be a ruthless method."
"Even if the world is so big at that time, how can you avoid it? That's why I advise you, it's better to make plans as soon as possible."
Someone sighed:
"Mr. Pei, it's easy to talk about recreating the prosperity of Wuling, but it's not easy to do it."
"We are afraid that when we arrive in Guanzhong, we will become the fish under Feng Mingwen's knife and let him slaughter us!"
After all, Feng Wenhe's notoriety is well known in the world.
Unexpectedly, Pei Qian seemed to have anticipated the other party's worries, but he smiled and took a roll of paper from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick:
"Don't I know what you are worried about? Although I was humiliated by Feng Mingwen in the court, I still have a bit of shame after all."
As he spoke, he spread out the paper, "Feng Mingwen is powerful, and it's not easy for the emperor to refute his face in the open."
"So on the second day, the Son of Heaven specially brought me into the palace, and comforted me with gentle words. Finally, before I left the palace, His Majesty gave me something back."
Hearing what Pei Qian said, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to the paper.
"Mr. Feng, you are a person of high moral character here, why don't you read it to everyone?"
The old man called Feng Gong curiously took the paper that Pei Qian handed over, glanced at it, and let out a "huh".
"The first five-year plan for Tongyi?"
What kind of weird document is this?
After Feng Gong read the first sentence, he couldn't help but look up at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian smiled without saying a word.
Feng Gong had no choice but to continue reading.
"The First Five-Year Plan of Tongyi" not only planned the location of the first Tongyi, but also explained the role of Tongyi in detail.
The most important thing is that it not only talks about how to use Tongyi to connect Chang'an and Jiuyuan, but also involves the future development direction of Tongyi.
"Henan land (that is, the Hetao area, not Henan County) has lush water and grass, fertile land, both farming and animal husbandry, and it is a god-sent land for animal husbandry."
"However, the land is vast and the population is sparse, and Cao Cao moved all the Han people into Taiyuan, resulting in the entire land of Henan being occupied by the Hu people. It is a pity!"
"If you can get the power of Guanzhong, reset the border city of Guansai, the grand occasion of the former Han Dynasty with cattle, sheep and horses all over the north and south of the river, it may not be invisible."
"There is also wool for the daily use of the people, and Jiuyuan is a good land..."
Not to mention anything else, just hearing this woolen material, someone's eyes are already lit up.
That’s right, whether wool or wool from Jiuyuan is good, as long as it is transported to Chang’an, it must pass through Tongyi.
The various materials transported from Chang'an to Jiuyuan are also transferred through Tongyi.
This, this, this!
Wool, wool, brown sugar, tea, grain...
Even if you only pass one hand, it is full of oil!
Listen, listen again!
What?
Also borrow the people's and financial resources of Tongyi to realize Jiuyuan?
Tongyi's children can choose the best to enter Jiuyuan Dudufu as officials?
Isn't that the opportunity to participate in the transaction with the Hu people?
People in Tongyi can go to the Jiuyuan enclosure to raise sheep and shear sheep?
You can also buy a quota for woolen workshops!
The wool workshops in Jiuyuan and Yanmen are basically owned by Xinghanhui.
After all, this is compensation from the imperial court Xinghanhui.
But to the north of Yanmenhan, plus the entire old place of Jiuyuan, how big is it?
Even with the ability of Xinghan Club, they can only pick and choose and circle some of the best places.
The human, material and financial resources invested are like throwing a stone in a big lake, causing at most a few ripples.
Not to mention that Xinghanhui's development focus is still on coal and iron.
Feng Gong, who has white hair and beard, the more he reads, the more rapid and high-pitched his voice is, and the many wrinkles on his face and forehead are constantly stretching out.
This memorandum, although a bit special, the words are too straightforward, but the content can't stand it!
Make people want to listen more and more.
"Alas, alas, Duke Feng, Duke Feng, please slow down, please slow down, let me hear you clearly."
"Don't worry, after Feng Gong finishes reading, everyone can pass it on to each other."
Pei Qian said slowly, "But only here, outside this room, I haven't seen a single word of the contents of this memorial."
"understand!"
"Understand, understand!"
The bottom side echoed, while scrambling to circulate.
This is the imperial court's plan for Tongyi in the next five years.
Although there is only a five-year period, it is enough for people to take the lead.
In this kind of matter, whoever takes the lead will take advantage of it.
Someone also praised:
"Your Majesty still values Pei Gong, and this kind of secret performance can also be shown to Pei Gong."
Pei Qian said lightly:
"How wise is the Son of Heaven? I plead for you, do you think His Majesty won't see it?"
"Your Majesty gave me this thing, in fact, to tell me that the imperial court has actually considered the establishment of the Tongyi for a long time."
"Your Majesty asked me to take this item because he wanted me to win over the Kanto people after Feng Mingwen rectified the Kanto family."
The half-truth and half-false words immediately made everyone present stand in awe.
Sure enough, His Majesty still values Pei Gong.
Pei Qian glanced at everyone, "As the saying goes, you are the first group of people I want to appease."
"I don't hesitate to reveal this secret, it's not insincere, I just hope that you don't let me down, and make me lose face in front of Your Majesty."
"Grateful for Pei Gong's kindness!"
"Thank you, Mr. Pei."
—
"Snapped!"
In Gui Palace, the queen dropped a chess piece and looked at the emperor with a smile.
A Dou is scratching his head:
"The queen's move, I feel like I'm about to lose again."
—
"Snapped!"
At Da Sima's mansion, Feng Da Sima also dropped a chess piece, and then shouted:
"Five in a row! Win!"
reached out his hand, and flicked Hua Xiaowu's forehead.
Ga bang!
Hua Xiaowu rubbed his red forehead, glared at Guiwang Feng who was opposite, and dared not speak out.
