MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2761 Before and after death

  Chapter 2761 Before and after death

  From Yuzhou to Heluo, there is nothing to say along the way.

After going through the initial adventure, there were no major problems on the road afterwards. Many small officials who were responsible for checking customs clearance seemed to be more or less absent-minded, as if they were waiting for another bird on the top of their heads. When did the boots fall off.

   After leaving the area of ​​Yuzhou and Yanzhou and entering the Heluo area, basically there is no big risk. In the Heluo area, the Yang family's power is actually pitifully weak. Neither Fei Qian nor Cao Cao moved Yang. In fact, it didn't mean that Yang was capable, but that he didn't need it at all.

   Unimportant people, of course, don't pay special attention.

  Thinking back, how the Yang family was so famous, but now he has become a small person who can only stand shivering between Fei Qian and Cao Cao...

  The world is changing.

   In the seventh year of Taixing, before the first winter snow came, Xu Laoliu and his party first arrived in Luoyang.

Although Luoyang is now more like a transfer station and has lost its original bearing as a capital, Xu Laoliu still excused that he was tired from the journey and said that he needed to adjust and take a rest. My child, take a walk around Luoyang and have a look.

  Xu Laoliu is indeed a businessman, but he was also a ranger before, so Xu Laoliu knows when to take out a knife and when to take out money. Although Xu Lao Liu didn't read many books, he knew more about human relationships than those of the gentry. If others may think that Kong Rong's family is unlucky, it is not worth doing something for Kong Rong's two children, but for Xu Laoliu, this kind of thing is actually not a big investment, but after a good sale, it may be possible to settle down in the future. Isn't it easy for free favors?

  For the two children, one big and one small, everything seems to be new after entering the Heluo area.

  Yanzhou and Yuzhou are actually very similar, but after entering the Heluo area, everything is a little different.

  The two children discovered a very interesting phenomenon near Luoyang, that is, the number of barbarians on the roads began to increase, and even the Han people often rode horses and carried bows, and it was more common to carry guns and knives.

  『Aren’t you afraid that people with swords and guns will gather to make trouble? ’ the older child said suspiciously.

  In Shandong, these weapons generally do not appear on ordinary people.

On the one hand, it is easier for the people to manage without weapons. On the other hand, it is because these weapons and other things also require money. The average Qianshou family spends some money on food, so where is there any spare money? To buy weapons?

Xu Laoliu chuckled and said, "This northern part of Guanzhong is different from Shandong...Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, in Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Xihe and other places, many sons of good families have the custom of practicing war preparation and building strength. They are often selected as Yulin and Qimen, and they are officials based on their ability. There is a saying that Shandong is a prime minister and Shanxi is a general, so there are many names...』

  Xu Laoliu also laughed and talked about some famous generals who were born in the north before the Han Dynasty, but he only mentioned a small part. In the Han Dynasty, Shanxi Liangjiazi can be said to be a star-studded general, and there are countless middle-level officers.

  The younger child asked: "Then the Hussar General is also from Kansai, is he also a brave general?" 』

  Xu Laoliu let out an uh, and then said: "I don't know about that..."

  In fact, in the markets of Shandong, you can also hear storytellers telling stories about these famous generals in the early years of the Han Dynasty, such as Wei Huanqi and so on, and they often get a lot of applause. But after applauding, they went to do their own things.

  Until now, the two children seem to have gradually felt some differences in the hussars...

   Today's Luoyang is a very interesting place, with both destroyed and rebuilt things.

  In the former site of the collapsed palace, two children stood silently.

   Perhaps the two children could not fully understand what the decline of a dynasty means, but these collapsed palaces showed the weakness and incompetence of the big man in front of them...

  Yang's in Luoyang, it can't be said that he didn't work hard.

  Mr. Yang is working hard no matter whether it is in people's livelihood, government affairs, or military soldiers...

   It's just a pity that Yang's efforts are like the wreckage of the imperial palace. It is worthwhile, but I can't say where the value is, but it is worthless, but it is somewhat valuable.

Yang Biao and Yang Xiu are neither from Shanxi nor from Shandong. From the very beginning, Yang wanted to take the route of the middleman, but the middle route was not easy, just like oil and water, Luoyang and Yang , like the line between oil and water.

  Some things can be integrated, but there are also some things that cannot be compromised.

  If it is made clear that the two sides are completely irreconcilable, then it is wrong to continue to walk the line in the middle, no matter what you do...

  If in the Heluo area, the two children began to see that the martial spirit of the great man still exists, then after entering Chang'an Sanfu, what they saw was the prosperity of the great man.

  On the loess plateau in Sanfu, Chang'an, the fields are connected one by one, like dense scales on the body of a giant dragon.

  These lands are crossed and connected by water conservancy facilities such as Chengguo Canal and Lingzhi Canal.

  Now the autumn harvest is over, but the farmers in the fields are still working hard. Ships kept coming and going on the Weishui River, collecting the grain collected from various counties into the granary.

  Different from the people in Luoyang, the people in Chang’an Sanfu are obviously more confident, more comfortable, and have more smiles on their faces...

  All of this gave the two children more intuitive feelings.

  The caravan moved forward slowly, while the children sitting in the car were a little dizzy.

  Suddenly, a group of well-armored cavalry came under the banner of hussars...

  …(の··)(··)…

   Just when the big and small children arrived in Chang'an and the journey was coming to an end, Kong Rong's life also came to an end.

  In the court hall of Xu County, as long as you have a little bit of experience, you will know that the prime minister's mansion discusses major issues, while the emperor's rank discusses small matters.

Logically speaking, the prime minister is the head of all officials. When there is a major event in the court, the prime minister's mansion will naturally organize generals, ministers, doctors, doctors, and Yilang to discuss, but the prime minister has the final say on everything, so it will naturally let Those who want to promote the authority of the emperor feel uncomfortable.

   At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, fifty armored soldiers were guarding with halberds, changing every hour.

In the prime minister's mansion, the structure of "four exits" is adopted. In fact, the layout of the palace hall is very similar. The office, the official office where the waiting people rest, is already full of people, close to a hundred, and it is three points more lively than the court meeting in the main hall.

  Prime Minister Chief Shi Wangbi stood beside the middle gate, without saying a word, looking at the surrounding officials with a slight look of scrutiny and sarcasm.

Wang Bi was not from a high family background, so he and Ying Chuan, who boasted of being a noble family, and the children of the so-called aristocratic families have not always been in harmony. There are many people from poor families below, and these people almost support most of the structure of Cao Cao's prime minister.

  On the other side is Xun Yu.

  Xun Lingjun is still elegant and courteous. No matter who greets him, Xun Yu will return the salute, regardless of his official position or closeness.

  In the middle gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Xiangshe, with the main hall, courtyard, back garden and various officials' houses. Today's meeting will naturally be held in the main hall.

   Not long after, the cloud panel rang, and everyone entered the main hall under the guidance of the ceremony officer.

   Civil officials headed by Wang Bi, Xun Yu and others occupy the front row, and they are on the left and right with the series of generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family. The civil servants were relatively quiet, while the military commanders were chattering loudly, and were reminded several times by the etiquette officer before they lowered their voices a little.

As for the middle and low-level officials, most of them have high crowns and wide sleeves, and they sit in the back of the hall. Most of these people have the positions of servants, Lang Guan, and doctors. Because there are too many people, they cannot sit in a row. There is no special table case, and several people get together on a mat. They seldom speak during the assembly, basically watching the excitement.

  A moment later, with the sound of a bell, Cao Pi walked to the side of the prime minister's seat in a red and black official robe, first bowed his hands to Xun Yu and other main officials, and then took out a prime minister's edict from his sleeve.

  Cao Cao is still on his way back, and Cao Pi, as his heir, will attend such a meeting instead of Cao Cao. Although there are some flaws in etiquette, the problem is not too big.

   Maybe.

"Prime Minister Order, the former Beihai Prime Minister Kong, who lost the land and abandoned the people first, vainly cared about loyalty and filial piety, and was suspected of colluding with the bandit party, plotting to disrupt the government, and bewitching the emperor. Now there is Zhao Prison, and the censors jointly tried it. His crime is obvious. Responsible for the ministers, doctors, doctors, and Yilang of the prime minister's office, to study the past and present, to clarify and correct the crimes, and then to publicize them, to spread them all over the world, to clarify the laws and to correct the government guidelines. Today, you can speak freely! 』

  This model is actually a bit like the emperor asked the ministers to discuss matters.

Sometimes the emperor will not attend this kind of political discussion in person, but ask someone to preside over it, and then report the results in written form. If the emperor approves, he will write three words on the written report, "Zhiyue Can', or even omit to write a "can", even if it's over. If the emperor disagrees with the result of the discussion, he will call back and let the discussion be re-discussed. At that time, the officials will adjust the distribution of benefits according to the emperor's opinion, and play according to the wind.

  The emperor is strong, so the ministers are naturally the most favored by A Cheng.

  Of course, there will also be individual iron-headed children who stick to their own opinions and strive to the end.

  Nowadays, the emperor has no power, and the real power is in the hands of Cao Cao, so the current discussion of politics is already similar to the model of the emperor, and everyone is already used to it. As for those who are not used to it, they will not stay for long anyway.

  The matter of Kong Rong, it seems that the final decision is delayed until now. It seems that there is no need?

   Otherwise, every meeting is a good opportunity to see clearly the views of the ministers. Cao Cao deliberately did not appear on the stage, just to give these people a feeling that there is still a chance to "speak freely", so as to observe their positions and tendencies.

  Cao Pi sat on the upper side, glanced at the vacant prime minister's table, and then at the people under the seats, with a smile on his lips. Cao Pi felt that everything was under control...

  Everyone's eyes focused on Xi Xi in unison.

  Xi Xi felt his scalp numb, as if there were countless bugs crawling around his head, as if they would tear open his scalp and eat his brain in the next moment.

   Under the eyes of everyone, Xi Xi seemed to be pushed out with his eyes, his legs and feet stepped forward, but his body was resisting, as if his whole body felt a little awkward.

   Feeling belongs to feeling, work still needs to be done.

  『Minister...Minister, please punish Kong’s Rongwenju! 』

Xixi felt that his throat was dry and tight, as if the voice that came out was not his own at all, but something else was speaking, but after the beginning of the words, it seemed to be lubricated, and the pain was no longer so painful up.

  『There is an emperor who is gracious and benevolent, and there is a prime minister who sets an example and flaunts the front. However, the Confucian family does not know how to repent, is treacherous and clever, and harms the local area. Please punish the thieves and use the Qing government! 』

  『At the end of my life, I was in the countryside, and I also knew that loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of the great Han. To be an official, you should be unremitting in your heart and respect, and you must do everything with your heart before you can be unremitting in your position. It is just like the so-called emperor envoys with courtesy, and ministers with loyalty to the emperor. However, the Confucianism of Confucianism can be passed down to the world, and Wu Wujing's merits can be peaceful. The book says, harming the public by selfishness is not loyalty. It is also said that for the benefit of the public, if you know everything you can do, then you are loyal. Therefore, Confucian Rong Wenju was not loyal to the king at the top, and was not loyal to the people at the bottom. This is one of his crimes. 』

  『Filial piety, elders at the top, sons at the bottom, husband’s filial piety, the foundation of virtue, inheriting from parents, obeying their wishes, can be called filial piety. Confucius said, filial piety to younger brothers is the foundation of human beings, and filial piety is the first of all good deeds. There is also a saying in the filial piety, the nature of heaven and earth, people are the most precious, and there is nothing better than great filial piety in human behavior. Loyalty and filial piety are the same thing, and if you are loyal and filial, you can be famous and honor your relatives, and this is the way to finally establish yourself. However, Confucianism's prose, uttering lies, is known as lust, neglects the foundation of filial piety, abandons relatives, the lamb still knows the kindness of relatives, how about people? This is the second crime. 』

  『The minister has been greatly favored by the emperor, and he is in the position of censor. He is deeply trembling and walks on thin ice. Then everything is beneficial to the country, you can look up to repay it in case, even if you die, you don’t care about it, and you are afraid of sacrificing your life to repay it day and night. Kuang Chen’s job is to monitor the local area and eliminate thieves and beetles. Anyone who is harmful to the country is called it. Thieves should also be eliminated. 』

  『Chen Guan Kong's Rong Wenju, stealing power and stealing handles, harming the country and the people, being unfaithful and unfilial, disturbing people's hearts, can be called the number one thief in the world! 』

  『Thieves and bandits on the border, such as bandits, are diseases of sores and scabies. There are internal and external thieves, and there is a sequence of attacks. There is no one who can get rid of the internal thieves without going away. Therefore, I ask you to punish the thieves, and you should be the first to eliminate the external thieves...』

The more Xi Xi spoke, the more and more he spoke, and gradually his aura rose, and his expression also became excited, as if he had entered a period of excitement, and he even began to feel that this was the truth. Everything he said represented the truth, represented a big man, represented All the people in the world are speaking.

   As soon as Xi Li's voice fell, Lu Cui on the side also hurriedly expressed his opinion, "I have heard about it. If you are good, you will be called the king, and if you are wrong, you will be self-reliant. People and ministers are loyal to the king." The book said, "If you have Jiamo Jiayou, you will go to the court and then go to the inside, and you will follow it to the outside." Gairen and ministers attribute their own goodness to the king, so that the world will praise the king's virtue, and dare not show their own ability to compete with the king for merit. Thieves and Rong are against it. Whenever there is goodness in the administration of Shangen, they must say its shortcomings, find fault, and catch wind and shadows, lest the people in the world know that Shangen is true! As a minister, if he is loyal and filial, is this really the case? 』

  『In the past, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, bandits and bandits invaded the country and went deep into the countryside, and the people suffered unspeakably. At that time, the thief was integrated into Beihai, and as the leader of the county and country, the military academy of the county and county asked him about his strategy. However, it is said that if there is no war, the thief can retreat by himself. Standing still, let the thieves grab the foot and retreat. That's why it was ordered not to fight, which caused the destruction of Beihai and the displacement of the people, and eventually caused a catastrophe, which is irreparable. Beihai has been filled with ten houses and nine empty houses, and all of them have been blamed by the bandits. 』

  『Madam and subject, how can flattery be used to deceive the superior, and corruption to lead the inferior? When thieves were in the North Sea, those who bribed and were diligent were recommended even though they were as greedy as robbers; Even when the yellow turban bandits were in chaos, there were no people to use, no soldiers to fight! Today, the thief is caught and put in prison, and You Renhou is sent to hope that he will repent. However, Thief Rong is stubborn, arrogant, refusing to plead guilty, and has paradoxes that are unbearable. It is a heinous crime to confuse the people with evil words! Just punish him! 』

  With Xi Ji and Lu Cui at the beginning, it seemed that the originally tense air became more fluid. Suddenly, people spoke out, basically saying that Kong Rong was guilty and should be killed.

  『Such unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous people have been vain for many years. You and I are both responsible! 』

  『Anyone who is unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous can be punished by everyone! 』

  『Beheading the Kong family today can correct the custom! But Ming Dynasty Gang! 』

  『The crime of thieves should be declared to the world! Use it as an example! 』

  The rest are silent. For example, Wang Bi, he just watched and didn't speak. Because he basically belonged to the pro-Cao faction, even if he didn't say anything about Kong Rong's crimes, he would not be considered as Kong Rong's party.

  In addition, just like Xun Yu, he also watched his nose, nose, and mouth, as if the wind couldn't move him, and everything was calm.

  After making a lot of noise for a while, it gradually quieted down.

  Cao Pi nodded slowly, "Since everyone said so, let's play it according to the law book." 』

   Did you hear that, this is "public opinion"!

  The "public opinion" of the high officials above the imperial court, the heirlooms of Confucian classics and others!

...

  At that time, in the winter of the seventh year of Taixing, Kong Rong, the former Taizhong doctor of Beihai, abandoned him in the city.

  Before Kong Rong was alive, there were many people who claimed to be friends of Kong Rong, and those who narrated that they were close friends with Rong.

  After Kong Rong's death, only Jingzhao Renzhi, Xi Yuansheng, was kind to Rong, and when Rong was killed, no one dared to accept him. He alone went to caress the corpse and cry.
