Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1252
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were taught by name, and the gentry respected reputation, and the selection of officials by the imperial court was "only because of public reputation", so it was very important to have a good reputation, and some people even tried every means to gain fame.And the source of all this is not the children of the gentry, nor the emperor, but the wind of glitz and glamour.

The customs of a dynasty can often see the rise and fall of the dynasty.

Since the Han Dynasty, people have first paid attention to the ways of Huang Lao. After self-cultivation, the people began to get rich, and gradually they began to worry about food and clothing, and entered the stage of giving up everything. It's for money, as long as it can make money, you can do anything. Cui Shi's "Political Theory" said: "Nongsang is diligent but the profits are small, business and industry are easy but the people are rich, so the farmers stop to carve, and the workers cast their sticks to tattoo and work hard. There are few writers, and there are many authors at the end." The end result of the people all over the world beginning to pursue their interests is that extravagance is becoming more and more prevalent.

It’s not that the Eastern Han Dynasty didn’t notice it, but since Emperor Ming, they have continuously issued edicts to curb luxury, but because the upper class of society is already used to it and loves the extravagant life, what can some mere edicts do?
As a result, in order to maintain the needs of extravagant life, the superstructure personnel who have far more knowledge and information than ordinary people began to find ways to search for folk wealth, which led to the search for more production and living materials that ordinary people depend on for survival And go, and finally accumulated to the deformed state of the whole society at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when Xun Chen suggested that Fei Qian start to pay more attention to fame and fame, Fei Qian agreed in principle, but he also had his own considerations. After pondering for a while, he said: "You can arrange one or two things about fame, but don't let it go." I was asking for the end, but the invitation was too much. I know that the Hongnong Yang family is also well-known all over the world, but looking at it now, it is difficult to do it, so you can know it."

Xun Chen nodded and said: "My lord's words are very true. Although the reputation is good, you still need real talents. But at present, the lord is in full swing, and if the lord wants to become famous in the world, he also needs to cultivate a good talker..."

Aha, this is the meaning of the Han Dynasty navy?
After pondering for a while, Fei Qian agreed. After all, in this era, there is no Internet, and most of the things in the countryside are passed on by word of mouth. You can buy some talkative people to make yourself famous and spend some money. Not impossible.

But what...

"When we choose officials, we must first seek their talents before discussing their names. Selecting people by name does not match the number of names, and asking for tribute is not commensurate. In his position, he does not worry about elections, and inspections do not take it as a negative. There are many officials who are not their own people, and the pavilion is located on top of it, and the prefectures and counties are easily placed below it..." Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen and said, "Han Su is innocent, turbid like dirt, a high-ranking general, as timid as a chicken, If this is the case, it will lose its original meaning..."

Xun Chen clasped his hands and replied, "I would like to follow my lord's wishes."

"Will Yinshan have an impact on this battle? How is the settlement of the people, and how is the autumn harvest?" Unlike most of the gentry children in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian felt that fame was dispensable, otherwise it would not have been so long. He no longer makes any fuss about his reputation, but he still pays more attention to the actual population, food and other aspects.

In many cases, it is precisely because of Fei Qian's pragmatism and characteristics completely different from ordinary gentry children that he is more attractive, just like Cao Cao, who did some stupid things in pursuit of fame a few years ago.

Yinshan is the next grain-producing area, and it is also an important place for raising horses. Although Feiqian has learned from Xun Chen that Yu Fuluo is being watched by Ma Yue and Zhang Ji, and has not made any moves for the time being, it does not mean that he can take it lightly. .

"The Yin Mountain is near, everything is still stable, and the text is in the west of the river. I have taken care of it. This autumn and autumn harvest, it should be no problem..." Xun Chen said with a smile, "Under the Yin Mountain, the waterways are intertwined and connected with each other. It's the best place, but the climate makes it so, so it's a pity that you can only harvest once a year..."

Fei Qian said: "Nowadays the war is on the rise, and there are a lot of refugees...The people who captured Hongnong River East this time were all sent to Xihe and Yinshan, and Wenzheng was ordered to resettle them..."

Xun Chen should go down.

They chatted about other things, and finally Fei Qian said: "There are rumors in the city, I wonder if you have heard of them?"

Xun Chen was silent for a moment, then said: "Someone has been thoroughly investigated... Wen Xi Pei once said something to a certain person, it seems that Zhao Zixie did it, but..."

"But what?" Fei Qian frowned.

Xun Chen took a look at Fei Qian, cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Zixie is a disciple of Zheng Gong and Zheng Kangcheng, and he is also the leader of the academic palace in discussing politics. The same party, so I deliberately postponed it, and slowly figured it out..."

Now the Shoushan Academy is in a precarious time, and the influence of Cai Yong's death has not been eliminated. If Zhao Shang is captured again and used by someone with a heart, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the Shoushan Academy. If the Shoushan Academy is lost among the gentry The name among the children lost most of the meaning of its existence.

It's not impossible to arrest and punish Zhao Shang, but it's better not to get involved with the academy, and not to be involved in the rumors against Fei Qian. A few heads can be eliminated...

"Zhao Shang, Zhao Zixie..." Fei Qian closed his eyes, murmured for a while, recalled the impression Zhao Shang had left in his mind, then opened his eyes, and said, "Since that's the case, I know, now You don't need to make things difficult..."

Xun Chen didn't know why, but since Fei Qian said so, he naturally agreed.

"Zichu..." Fei Qian looked at Xun Chenli's back, and suddenly greeted Huang Xu who was guarding in the hall, "Do you still remember the five-colored scepter that Zilong captured from the Xianbei people in Yinshan? "

Huang Xu was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said, "Yes, I still have some impressions."

"Well, go to the backyard, find craftsmen in the inner palace, and make one out of it..." Fei Qian smiled slightly, and said, "Do it yourself, don't let others know..."

I don't know when it started, there were mysterious rumors in Pingyang City, saying that someone was found outside the city in the prostitute temple, offering sacrifices with flesh and bones, it was quite sensational.

The obscene temple is not an obscene place, but a shrine or temple that does not enter the righteous gods, is not in famous mountains and rivers, and is not a temple for emperors and sages, or it is for some unknown people or animals that are not recognized by the court, or Those who offer sacrifices to things are considered obscene temples.But the so-called lewd temples are for those temples and Taoist ancestral halls designated by the government. As for the local people in the lewd temples, most of them don’t think that the place where they go to pay tribute every day is a lewd temple.

There are many prostitution temples among the people, and they don’t need too many good places. Even a stone, a river beach, or a grass shed can become a place for prostitution temples.

For example, in Zaozhi, there are also several obscene temples dedicated to him, which are his personal Longevity Temple.Because Zaozhi was in the Pingyang generation, he really worked hard for farming and mulberry, and the people who had been favored by him spontaneously set up shrines for him to show their admiration.

In the Han Dynasty, these mystical things were quite popular among ordinary people. It took less than a day for them to spread throughout the city without any further promotion. There were also multiple versions, but they were all bloody. Description, people’s hearts are more or less floating, some people say it’s attracting drought spirits, some people say it’s inviting plague gods, some even say it’s raising five ghosts, anyway, there are all kinds of gossips, no one says it’s a good thing of.

Of course, what kind of good god could be related to flesh and blood?

In addition, the Guanzhong plague and the Heluo locust disaster that occurred some time ago, eventually evolved into these plagues and locust disasters. They turned out to be man-made, and someone invited the plague god to come down, which is why such disasters were caused...

Under the rhetoric, the autumn harvest is coming again, and many people are worried whether the plague or locust plague will also break out in Pingyang City. The matter of Fei Qian and Cai Yan fell from the hot search list.

It’s like ordinary common people in later generations who happily watch the entertainment circle for dinner every day, but once rumors about flu or radiation start to spread, their expression changes immediately, and they are afraid like seeing a tiger. Who else would care about the crotch of a certain female or male star? What's in it?

The response in Pingyang City was also quick. An Min notice was posted, and more city inspectors were patrolling the streets. Anyone who behaved improperly in clothing would immediately go forward to arrest and inquire. Many people were fined, and some idlers were also arrested. The gangster or something, there is a feeling of panic for a while...

Seeing the setting sun gradually set, because the surrounding rumors are too prevalent, the curfew in Pingyang City has been imposed an hour earlier in these two days, and after the evening, it is strictly forbidden to walk around on the street...

At the Beicheng school grounds, at some point, Fei Qian was already sitting here, and said to Tang Yu of the military academy, "Since everything is ready, let's start..."

Zhao Shang has been somewhat speculative for the past two days. Except for going out to deal with errands, he basically hides in his own house, for fear of revealing any flaws, and keeps thinking about how to get out and get out of danger. territory.Although a brochure was issued, asking Zhiyin Mountain to inspect the Hu people's education again, but there may be too many political affairs accumulated in the past two days, and there has been no reply, so there is no follow-up.

If he wanted to run away alone, Zhao Shang didn't dare to be so presumptuous, not because of anything else, but because General Fei Qian brought back a lot of soldiers and horses, some of them are now stationed in the school grounds, and some of them are outside the city. If he went out rashly, Wouldn't it be self-inflicted?

The place where Zhao Shang lived was not only Zhao Shang alone, but also Zhao Shang's more than ten guards, seven or eight servants, two or three servant girls, and one or two burning women. If the sons of the gentry who are serious, their servants are all 30 people, it can be seen that the style of luxury has become a normal state, which inevitably affects everyone.

Only a few of Zhao Shang's guards were originally brought by himself, and the rest were recruited after he came to Bingbei. Anyway, most of the men in Bingbei have arrogance, and sometimes they even behave a bit gangster. Under the circumstances, there are quite a few people who want to take their lives, not to mention that under Zhao Shang, they have somewhat of an official status, so it is not difficult to recruit some desperadoes. Zhao Shang's face is not very good these days , these guards also restrained a little, and even walked a little more lightly...

"Hua la hua la", a noisy sound came over, it seemed that the footsteps of many people walking and running came from the street.

"Break the door!" Someone outside the gate shouted in a deep voice, and several guards in Zhao Shangyuan looked at each other in shock.

"boom!"

"Boom! Kara..." Immediately, someone outside the courtyard raised the bumper. Zhao Shang's courtyard was not a military fortress, and the courtyard door was blasted open after three blows.

"Who are you waiting for! Ah..." Zhao Shang's guard in the courtyard stepped forward and asked subconsciously, but was cut to the ground by the soldiers rushing towards him!

Army Marquis Tang Yu rushed into the courtyard and shouted loudly: "After investigation, Mrs. Zhao practiced witchcraft and cursed things, arrest him immediately!"

Although most of the guards recruited by Zhao Shang had some blood on their hands, and some of them were fierce people with little reputation in the countryside, but in front of the soldiers who cooperated tacitly, they were in a small courtyard, no matter how many flowery pretense He couldn't move away, just threw a beautiful body, and before he could stand still, a dozen spears pierced his face, blocking one but not ten, it was almost as if he was chopped melons and vegetables in the blink of an eye , died on the spot.

Zhao Shang was stunned at this time. After listening to the yelling of the military marquis Tang Yu, he only heard the screams of his subordinates before they died. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He rushed to the backyard and down the backyard The latch of the corner door, push it open and run outside...

After only two or three steps, Zhao Shang stopped, his calf softened, and he slumped on the ground.I saw that the alley in the backyard was already full of people, all staring at him with piercing eyes, as if they were watching a clown making mischief.

"You are wronged! You are wronged! How did you come up with the technique of witchcraft? How can you do such a dirty thing when you are a majestic wind patrol?" Zhao Shang shouted as he moved back, "I am wronged! It must be wrong , Wrong! You have found the wrong person! A certain person did not do witchcraft, no..."

Zhao Shang yelled, but he was powerless to resist, and was tied to the ground by several soldiers, who tied their shoulders and arms, and tied them to the ground.

"No?" At this time, the military marquis Tang Yu had already brought his soldiers to kill them. When he arrived in the backyard, he could not help but sneered a few times when he heard Zhao Shang's non-stop chirping. He then searched Zhao Shang's room. The crossbow that came out was thrown to the ground, "Then what is this thing?!"

Although it is not uncommon for aristocratic families to own crossbows, at least on the bright side of the government, private possession of crossbows is strictly prohibited.

"This..." Zhao Shang's eyes widened. Isn't this a hidden place under the bed? How could it be found out so easily?But he didn't think about it, the yard is so big, so many people rushed in at once, even the beams of the house were searched, not to mention under the bed.

"So... so and so is a wind patrol envoy, patrolling the northern land, the road is restless, this thing is used to protect himself..." Zhao Shang's face was pale, but he still insisted on defending himself.Five crossbows, say more or less, if they are prevaricated, they can be prevaricated.

"Junhou! Junhou! I found it, I found it!" Another soldier was holding a colorful wooden staff, as if he was holding a colorful poisonous snake, and threw it on the ground.

"This, this is not so-and-so, not so-and-so..."

Zhao Shang stared at the eyeballs, almost falling out, arguing eagerly, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a man in the courtyard shouting, holding a jade bottle the size of a thumb and running over, "Mr. Hou! I found this thing again in the study!"

When Zhao Shang saw it, his face "huh", pale as snow.This bottle was obtained from Wang Chen's home by Zhao Shang in Taiyuan before when he searched Wang Chen's home. At this time, they were checked out together...

Tang Yu took it, uncorked the bottle, sniffed it, and immediately frowned tightly: "Hooked kiss?! How courageous! Take it away!"
