Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2654 Reversing Black and White

Xu County.

Kong Rong was escorted to Xu County.

This is a big event...

Immediately, Xu County became lively up and down, as if it was a festival.

Kong Rong survived and celebrated the festival, and if Kong Rong was killed, it was also a festival.Big and small eyeballs buzzed over like black-headed flies, and gathered on the matter of Kong Rong, and countless mouths wriggled like maggots, biting on it tightly, sucking blood and eating meat, There were bursts of groans happily.

Natural disasters must be accompanied by man-made disasters.

When there is a flood, there are disaster victims, and some pretend to be disaster victims.

There is a wildfire, there are fighters, and some pretend to be fighters.

Man-made disasters also often cause natural disasters.

In the current Xu County, the feasting people were eating flesh and blood, smiling all over their faces.

Isn't it just to have fun?

Is there any greater joy than the current Kong Rong matter?

What you see must be the truth?

What you heard must be the truth?

Three-year-old children know that this may not be the case, but when they meet in life, how many people will consider the relationship between "truth" and "falsehood", between "truth" and "lie" question?

People always feel that they need the "truth", but most of the time, the prerequisite for the so-called "truth" is not whether the "truth" itself is true, but whether people are willing to believe that the "truth" is true !
One thing, as long as someone is willing to believe it, even if it is false, but for that person, it is the "truth"!On the contrary, if people are unwilling to believe this matter, then even if it is absolutely true, it is just a "rumor that cannot withstand scrutiny" or some "imagination that does not conform to reality".

So, truth and truth, what exactly is it?
Is the truth"?
Or "believe"?
Is treason a great crime?

obviously.

So is it necessary to thoroughly investigate the matter of treason and find out all the accomplices?

Obviously also necessary.

But the problem is...

Most people are clear about the crime of "rebellion" committed by Kong Rong and Kong Wenju...

That's all.

After all, there is a saying that a scholar rebelled and failed for three years.Just like that whining horse monkey, if he is really asked to rebel, it will definitely not work.

It is unavoidable for people like Kong Rong to gather together to criticize this and that, but to say that this is the evidence of his conspiracy, and immediately use it to kill the Nine Clans is probably absurd to everyone who hears it.

This is like being in a certain group in the later generations, and then not only closing the group with one click, but also sending warmth to the group members one by one, checking the water meter, voluntary community labor, and it seems to be a bit of a molehill, and it is overkill.

Ever since, it became more and more like a farce.

"See Your Majesty! 』

In the Chongde Hall, all officials meet.

Liu Xie sat on the throne, first glanced at Xi Ji intentionally or unintentionally, then slightly raised his hand to signal, "Everyone loves you. 』

There are still procedures that should be there, and the Huangmen eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do!" 』

As soon as the Huangmen eunuch's words fell, Xiji stepped out of the train, clasped his hands and began to play: "I report to Your Majesty, I have led the colleagues of the Yushitai to investigate the case of Kong's family, and now we have found it out." 』

Liu Xie already knew a little bit, but he still pretended not to be clear and asked, "Did you find out?"Then talk about it! 』

"Your Majesty, the case of the Kong family was caused by Kong Rong and Kong Wenju when he was appointed to Beihai..."

Chi Chi rambled on, recounted the content, and then added some minor, not so important charges, such as "disobeying court rituals, walking in a bald scarf, being abrupt with officials", etc., and finally concluded That is, Kong Rong was a great traitor lurking in the court of the Han Dynasty. It was Xi Xi and his colleagues at Yushitai who caught such a man who had no loyalty to the Han Dynasty, collapsed in thought, lost all beliefs, and lost principles through various clues. , engage in small groups, small collectives, and arrogant people to slander the government, disloyal and filial, officials are dishonest, indiscriminate between relatives and relatives, greedy, power for personal gain, people will not complain if they are not arrested, and the society cannot be peaceful if they are not killed...

Xi Ji burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I have received great grace from the emperor, and I am the head of the censor, but I never thought that Kong's audacity, ignoring the king's law, blatantly resisting arrest, injuring and killing many court officials, is really a heinous crime!"His Majesty! 』

Liu Xie couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard it, what is called "heinous crime, Your Majesty", it sounds like Liu Xie himself is a heinous sin...

Although Liu Xie was more or less prepared in his heart, but when he heard that Xi Xi said so simply that Kong Rong was worthless, heinous and unforgivable, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

But after Xi Xie's voice fell, Lang Zhongling was seen, and the army teacher Jijiu Lucui came out and reported to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty!Kong Wenju's facts are heinous!All kinds of crimes really make me furious!I want to impeach all members of the Kong family headed by Kong Wenju for a total of nine crimes!The crime deserves to be punished! 』

Hearing Lu Cui's words, Liu Xie did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he glanced at Cao Cao, his expression became serious, and he said slowly: "Oh?The nine deadly sins?Should the crime be punished?Let's play! 』

"Kong Wen committed one crime, corruption!According to Chen Yu Beihai's thorough investigation of the files, it was found that since Kong Wenju became an official in Beihai, he has been corrupting ink property, misappropriating public funds, and falsely reporting the amount. The total amount of corruption is no less than 5 million!Among them, under the guise of disasters and chaos, they cut off the taxation of the court and embezzled it for other purposes. The amount was huge, exceeding tens of millions of dollars! 』

"Kong Wen's second crime is to form a party!"According to the investigation of the ministers, Kong Wenju claimed to be a descendant of Confucius, and took advantage of his fame to recruit desperadoes, recruit arrogant people, bribe court officials, and show favor to local officials. Now he has formed his own party in the countryside!Among them, there is even a link between Guanzhong and Jiangdong, which can be said to be a great conspiracy! 』

"Kong Wen committed three crimes: disloyalty and filial piety!"Kong Wenju..."

"enough! 』

Just when Lu Cui wanted to continue reading, he was suddenly interrupted by Liu Xie.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Is Kong Rong really a conspiracy?Is it really disloyalty?

If you only look at the evidences of Xi Ji and Lu Cui, Kong Rong is a villain with a heinous crime and ulterior motives!
But what if we look at the problem more comprehensively?
It's just a pity that many people are only willing to see what they want to see, they don't want to see the whole truth, and even insult the person who let them see the truth, because the people who uncovered the shady Black, that's why I saw the dark scene.Otherwise, how come most people haven't seen it?
Why do other people have nothing to do, but you have so many things?
Why can everyone do it, but why can't you?
Those who empathize with capital may not only be at certain times.

Liu Xie looked at Xi Ji, then turned to look at Lu Cui, and said in a deep voice, "Xi Yushi, Lu Jijiu, you two impeached Kong Wenju, do you have any solid evidence?"If there is evidence of guilt, where did it all come from? 』

Xi Xi bowed his head and replied: "As the imperial censor, I am loyal to His Majesty and responsible for the imperial court. Naturally, I dare not aim at nothing. The charges of impeachment of Kong Wenju are convincing. Both the censor platform and the officials involved in the case confessed after repeated investigations. , there can never be a fake! 』

Lu Cui also said: "The charges of the minister are all true! 』

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Kong Wenju's heinous crime was all obtained through the interrogation of the two of you?" 』

Xi Xi and Lu Cui looked at each other, naturally it was difficult to deny it, and it was impossible to deny it, so they agreed in unison.

Liu Xie nodded, suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne, and said in a deep voice: "If you are such a rebel as the two Ai Qing said, why can you continue to do evil for so long?" !Is it possible that during this period of time, the big officials from all over the place and the nine officials of the imperial court are all decorations? !Why was it that no one investigated it until Xi Yushi and Lu Jijiu, two lovers, could uncover the matter?Could there be imperial officials obstructing it, or is there something unclear about Shangshutai's decree? !check!This matter must be very strange!Continue to investigate thoroughly! 』

In the hall, the faces of the officials suddenly changed.

Seeing other people's mountains on fire, whether you feel pitiful or gloating, you are still a little bit away from yourself, but if a fire is about to burn on your own head now...

"His Majesty……"

Seeing that something was wrong, Xi Xie wanted to say something, but Liu Xie flicked his sleeves, "Such a rebellious person is now the victim of a big man. If it wasn't for Ai Qing's thorough investigation, how could Sheji stable?check!Continue to investigate thoroughly!I don't believe that Kong Wenju, a scholar, can gather so many murderers!Where did the weapons and armor come from?Where did the golden drum flag come from? !Can there be thieves in Qingzhou? !Does Yingchuan have the aura of internal thieves? !Xi Aiqing!Road offering wine!There is a saying in the poem, "Half a journey of a hundred miles is half ninety." This is the end of the road!I'll leave this matter to the two lovers!Never stop there!Thoroughly investigate the conspiracy to avoid future troubles!I am tired!Let's get here first today, retreat to court! 』

After speaking, Liu Xie stood up, flung his sleeves and left.

The officials are helpless, no matter what their thoughts are, they can only bow their heads in the high-pitched voice of the Huangmen eunuch...

...=╮(╯▽╰)╭b...

During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, when the sons of the gentry entered the official career and wanted to climb from the middle to the top, the way of promotion was actually not much different from that of the subsequent feudal dynasties.

First of all, we must have a clearer understanding of the policies of the imperial court, and have an overall understanding of the various laws and regulations, as well as the relationship between the factions and characters of the imperial court. Supervising the censor, or some important official positions under the Jiuqing, or even after a certain Cao under the Sangong, is a better promotion point.

Then, it will be sent to another place, serving as the prefect of a certain place, an important county, closing the country, and being transferred two or three times in different states and counties, so as to accumulate enough qualifications, experience and contacts. This is the second step. .

Then, if the official's political performance is good enough during his tenure as a local official, and his backer in the court is strong enough, he will return to the central government again. If his qualifications, methods, abilities, and luck are all sufficient, he can go further. , became an important figure in the court, ranked among the three princes, and from then on, one person was under one man and over ten thousand people!
However, this is only a normal way of promotion, and it does not apply to Cao Cao and other people from the Cao family and Xiahou family.

After these members of the Cao family and Xiahou family entered the officialdom, they were like a herd of wild boars breaking into a crop field, messing up the original rules of the crop field to be worthless.

It was too chaotic before, there were constant disputes in various places, and it was at stake. No one knew whether the flag hanging on the top of the city today would be replaced by another one tomorrow, so there was no time to worry about it, and I didn’t think about it. It's good to go down.However, as the situation gradually stabilized and the tripartite struggle was re-formed, the barriers to mobility between classes emerged.

Of course, the same is true for the regions of various feudal officials, such as Fei Qian, Sun Quan and others, who have similar problems.

It's just that Feiqian's side is slightly better. The people sitting in some of the top positions are all honored in several bloody storms. Occasionally, I will be questioned and hostile by others, but after a few more dungeons, no one will dare to beep.

For example, Pang Tong, Xun Chen, Xun You, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others, basically no one dares to make small moves easily at the moment. After all, the people who made small moves before are already dead, and the death is on the side of the road.

At the same time, under the rule of Fei Qian, there were not many incompetent people in the direct line of the dead. Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the idlers were almost negligible. Most of the officials were capable, and the middle and lower officials were also in the middle of the exam. They are selected, so naturally there are relatively fewer conflicts between up and down, and everyone has a few catties and a few taels.Whether you can be promoted or not, make some gestures, the capable will go up, and the mediocre will go down. If you win, you will be promoted, and if you lose, you will be inferior.

There is nothing to say, and no one will listen to it.

Take the test if you are not convinced!

Every year, Enke does not prohibit grassroots officials from participating, and there is no 35-year-old death line, or graduation line, so as long as you have the ability and want to join, then you will have a chance, and naturally there will be fewer complaints.

However, with Cao and Sun, a large number of children of the same clan took shortcuts, which often meant that there would be some kind of hidden danger!
Cao Cao is even more serious here!

Sending local officials to become officials in the borderlands seems to be far away from the center of the imperial court, and the period is also quite hard.But for those ambitious officials, it is definitely an indispensable key step.Because of the old dual monarch and official structure of the Han Dynasty, once he has the opportunity to become a feudal official, he will be a local little emperor!When promoting cronies, buying officials, and expanding contacts, there is not much pressure and competition.As long as you work hard, you can get a lot of cronies and cronies, and you can enter the court center in the future.There are also people who can help themselves.

But now, the promotion routes of these children of other ethnic groups have been interrupted.

Then when Cao Cao collected the counties and counties in various places, except for a few places that were smashed and collected, most of the other areas were renovated, but on the surface, the demon machine with the original ID was bypassed, and he wanted to restore it. , Immediately there was a thunderstorm.

Why didn't Cao Cao understand this?

So classmate Cao has been operating, really operating.

Lao Cao is committed to the great cause of turning other people's wives into his own, so that other people's sons will become his own sons, so among so many adopted sons, there will naturally be some excellent heirs, Thus avoiding the situation where one's own children are lonely and not powerful enough.

On the other hand, Lao Cao is constantly weakening the power of the local gentry.

If you can buy it, you will buy it, if you can win it over, you will win it over, and only when you really have no other choice will you kill it.

It's like dealing with Kong Rong.

After Kong Rong escaped from Xu County and returned to his hometown, Cao Cao never did anything, nor did he say what he wanted to do with Kong Rong. Why did he attack Kong Rong all of a sudden?

Is it those old accounts of Beihai, which always come to light?
Obviously, no, it's just that Kong Rong has trapped himself in this period of time.

When Xixi wanted to mess with Kong Rong, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, his focus was not on Kong Rong at the time, but Cao Cao didn't expect that Kong Rong said that he was not afraid. He still feels afraid in his heart, so he will inevitably attend some gatherings and meet some people, so that he feels that he is still under the support of the "people" and obtains some comfort.

It's just that to attend a banquet, of course you have to drink, and if you drink too much, sometimes what you say doesn't pass through your brain, and then it is recorded by someone who cares... Bah, if it is revealed, it will naturally anger Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's subordinates Those who belong to the Cao family and Xiahou family.

Some things should not be known to ordinary people!The fig leaf still needs to be covered, otherwise the people in the audience will laugh as soon as they come on stage, saying that there is a big word on the official's buttocks, so how can we manage it?Then how to govern?
Kong Rong played "The System of Yizhun Ancient King Ji". In the memorial, Kong Rong advocated that "within thousands of miles, not feudal princes", which means that Cao Cao should get rid of Yingchuan and leave Yuzhou to the emperor Liu Xie to manage. This kind of suggestion from the perspective of the emperor, respecting the emperor, and expanding the real power of the Han Dynasty is obviously at odds with Cao Cao's strategy of "taking the emperor to command the princes".

Of course, besides the things on these scenes, Kong Rong is also involved in another matter at the moment...

Therefore, Cao Cao will let Kong Rong die.If Kong Rong couldn't be pressed to death, then there would definitely be a second person who would come up to spray him, the third, and finally a group of trainees and apprentices would flock to him. What would Cao Cao do then?
Of course, if Kong Rong was able to change his attitude and voted for Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would definitely stage a "courteous and virtuous corporal" drama, so there is no need to elaborate on throwing his boots or something.It's a pity that Kong Rong himself can only let pears go, and he was so stupid. He thought this time, just like when he and his brother were fighting to the death, it was the addition of tens of millions of glory and fame.

Among the character design and life, Kong Rong finally chose the character design.

In the prison in Xu County, although Kong Rong was not allowed to see visitors, outside the prison, there were always "people" who came to visit, and they "spontaneously" shouted Kong Rong's name loudly, expressing their respect for Kong Rong. Support", which made Kong Rong more convinced that the suffering is only temporary and the light is ahead!

But Kong Rong didn't know at all whether the so-called brilliance shining on him was man-made or natural...

Brilliant and charming eyes.

Fascinated by the eyes, of course I can't see the road under my feet.
