Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2696 Position and position with multiple functions

Hussar General's Mansion.

side hall.

Fei Qian couldn't help being quite surprised after hearing Kan Ze's report.

Cai Yu said that he once heard someone in Yecheng saying that he was the son of the emperor, not his own...

At that time, the emperor declared that he was a prince before his heir was born, and then prepared a series of materials for the celebration ceremony, which inevitably made people suspicious.

After all, if you have a boy or a girl, although there are some methods such as pulse diagnosis, divination, etc., which all show that you can judge a man and a woman before birth, but how accurate is this matter?
Therefore, the children of Jizhou wondered whether they would be treated as princes regardless of whether they were born male or female...

In other words, the emperor Liu Xie may have actually given birth to a girl at the time, but was replaced by a boy.

That is, in the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, a boy born to a certain clan member at that time.

This thing is a bit shocking and inexplicable, and there is no evidence, but there is such a rumor.Of course, Cai Yu did not find any strong evidence, so Cai Yu did not report this matter before.

Now that Cai Yu is in a state where there is no such shop after passing this village, so what if it is true?

At that time, it was the time when the conflict between Cao Cao and the gentry of Jizhou was the most intense. Therefore, many children of the gentry in Jizhou were slandering Cao Cao, cursing Cao Cao as nepotism, saying that Cao Cao was loyal outside and traitor inside, etc. .

This message is one of them.

"So it's possible it's just a rumor? ’ Fei Qian frowned and said, ‘After all, there was a gap between Prime Minister Cao and Jizhou scholars at that time. 』

When insulting each other, anything can be said.At that time, the interests of Cao Cao and Jizhou were unevenly distributed, so it was reasonable for the children of Jizhou gentry to arrange some old Cao classmates' jokes.

Kan Ze nodded and said, "Then... how should we deal with this matter?" 』

Fei Qian pondered.

Kan Ze judges based on the current situation, while Fei Qian has more advantages than Kan Ze in that Fei Qian can also infer based on some subtle differences in history...

In history, Liu Xie finally surrendered to Cao Pi.

The matter of abdication seems to be warm and friendly, but in fact, from the beginning to the end of the abdication, it is not that simple.

Yao Zen gave up to Shun, which sounds ideal, but history books also write that Yao married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, to Shun.Therefore, "Yao and Shun's abdication" cannot actually be regarded as abdication to outsiders.

In the Western Han Dynasty, did Ru Ziying abdicate to Wang Mang? In fact, it was not entirely an abdication. It was the people from Zitong who made the copper box with mourning chapters, falsely relying on the will of Han Gaozu to make Wang Mang the emperor.So Wang Mang first went to the Gaodi Temple to accept the copper box, then put on the crown and went to see the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, Cao Pi's request for Liu Xie to "abide" is definitely not Liu Xie's willingness.

After Cao Cao's death, the whole situation was turbulent.Compared with Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, who is more talented, is undoubtedly more popular with the children of the Shandong gentry system, so in fact, Cao Pi "joined hands" with Liu Xie at that time, and it was considered that he successfully became the king of Wei.

And how did Cao Pi and Liu Xie "join forces" reach an agreement?

Did there also have some twists and turns, and some unknown things, which eventually led to Cao Pi immediately attacking Liu Xie after he came to power, forcing Liu Xie to step down?

Fei Qian thought for a while, and then said to Kan Ze, "Let the people around Xu County pay more attention...don't look for it. If people know that we are investigating this kind of thing...I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything." arrive……"

Kan Ze nodded in response, and then asked about Cai Yu's arrangement.

Fei Qian said that he would meet Cai Yu sometime before making a decision.

Kan Ze took out another prose from his sleeve, handed it up, and said: "After investigation, the son of Wei Xiufu is coordinating personnel and preparing to expose Qiao Zhenren before the scripture ceremony..."

Fertilization, bah, the scripture teaching ceremony is going to be held next month, and Qiao He, as the head teacher of the Wufang Catholic Church, will of course attend the ceremony.

"There must be no loss in the scripture giving ceremony..." Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about the matter of Qiao offering wine for the time being, and we will talk about it after the ceremony..."

The problem of Qiao Bing has actually been exposed. Before Wei Kang and Zhang Shi were about to catch Qiao Bing's sore feet, Xu Shu in Sichuan and Shu had already reported the relevant situation. It was not dealt with immediately.

In fact, even if it really exploded, Fei Qian has a backup...

...(ˇˇ) think~...

On the other side, Qiao finally sent off Zhang Shi who was "practicing", turned around and immediately summoned his subordinates to ask about the specific situation.

Generally speaking, no matter in any feudal dynasty, as long as the leader is corrupt, then the few deputies with real power under the corrupt leader are basically the same and all rotten.

Revenge or something in return is a matter of the future, and now it is necessary to find out whether the current internal problems have been exposed.

It's hard to say whether Qiao Bing is big or not, but the indifference of the world is really deeply felt.Needless to say, when he was in Sichuan and Sichuan, he was looked down upon by others. Even when he first arrived in Chang'an, the feeling of being out of place by the local gentry really made him unforgettable.

Although there is no essential difference between the scriptures read by people in Sichuan and Shu and the scriptures read in Guanzhong, in fact, there was no communication between them at that time.If it hadn't been for the General Hushi's discussion at the Qinglong Temple, these people would never have gathered together, let alone discuss something with each other.

It's not terrible to be targeted by others, what's terrible is that you are all tied up and have no ability to fight back!
For a while, Qiao Bing's complexion was naturally not very good, and the prison and stewards beside him couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.In the past few days, these people were busy monitoring Zhang Shi, and at the same time they had to strengthen the arrangement of the scripture teaching ceremony. They definitely dare not say that they took care of everything, but if they said that they were negligent, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Of course, these supervisors and stewards didn't know about the affairs of Qiao Bing's clan, so their attitude towards Zhang Shi was not as nervous as Qiao Bing's.If Sima Yi, Minister of Dali Temple, came here in person, these supervisors would still be timid, but is it worth being so nervous for such a small undertaking?

Could it be that Zhang Shi could really pounce on Qiao Bing?
And the grand ceremony is right in front of you, this is a first-class event, even if Zhang Shi has any questions, he must first consider the matter of the person who learned the scriptures, but General Hushi personally intervened, and he was a small official. However, if he disturbed and angered the Hussar General, would he die without a place to die?
But Qiao Bing knows his own affairs, how can he not panic?

So Qiao Bing saw everyone's appearance, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Okay, everyone just thinks about showing their faces at the grand ceremony, right?"Are you ready to handle everything I told you?Not to mention that there is still some time left for the grand ceremony, even if the grand ceremony is held tomorrow, I can still do those lazy and lazy people today! 』

Qiao Bing's words are definitely not a simple verbal threat, but it can really be done.After all, the county magistrate is not as good as being in charge now. Within the scope of the current slander and power, he said that the guy was lazy and lazy, and he adjusted his position internally. He didn't need to report for approval at all, and he could execute it on the spot.

Only when you reach several important positions in counties and counties do you need to report for review. Generally, small officials like this, even small officials are not even counted as supervisors and stewards. And naturally it has the final say.

Everyone present couldn't help muttering in their hearts, is there really something important about Qiao?
This problem seems to be serious...

But right now, if he can't help Qiao and tide over the difficulties, it seems that he will be in trouble, so someone suggested: "Today's Grand Ceremony practice, I don't know how to set up the layout, I don't know if it can meet Huqi's wishes...Now we might as well present the Grand Ceremony first Before the hussars... In this way, you can rest assured and understand...』

When Qiao Bian heard this, his mind suddenly changed.

He regretted that he didn't give a strict explanation before, and when people looked nervous, he might just do some small tricks, such as pouring some laxatives or something...

On the one hand, he was also afraid that he would be self-defeating, and on the other hand, it was because of the vague luck.

Now that Zhang Shi left, he was in turn afraid of what evidence Zhang Shi had obtained.If there is really any criminal evidence, Zhang Shi is willing to negotiate with him to discuss a settlement, or even to blackmail him, then Qiao is not worried. Anyway, the problem that can be solved with money is not a big problem. What he is worried about is what Zhang Shi said. Just stab him in the back.

Although Qiao Bi said one thing in the Dojo of the Five Gods, it was nothing more than that, like a bird in a cage, the people and affairs around him were scarce, and he couldn't get in touch with more like ordinary officials. wide area.

Although it is true that the treatment in the dojo of the Five Gods is good, but Qiao does not yearn for a wider space. Although the Five Gods sacrifice wine is wonderful, but it can't compare with the formal official position of the court and the free discussion of state affairs ?

The Grand Ceremony is indeed an opportunity.

On the one hand, you can show Hussar your work results, indirectly reflecting your ability and value, and at the same time, you can explore Hussars' attitude from the side.In addition, you can also take this opportunity to let Zhang Shi and others know the importance of themselves, so that they don't dare to act rashly, and welcome more time.

Although his heart was already very moved, Qiao Bing still tried his best to maintain a cold face, just glanced at the steward and said, "This suggestion is not bad. 』

The steward quickly surrendered.

"Since this is the case, how are the preparations for the grand ceremony going?" Qiao also said, "How far you have done and how much you haven't done, report them one by one!" 』

Ordinary pujas are naturally incomparable to grand ceremonies. Solemn grand ceremonies naturally require more important personnel and more manpower to plan and prepare, which is quite cumbersome.

Take the preparation materials as an example, how much do you need, when do you need them, whether you need to apply for the physical goods from above, or ask for funds to make them, when to check them, how to store them, whether they will be damaged by moisture, etc...

There are many things, but if there is a problem in one link, it may lead to the unsmoothness of the ceremony.

So if you can consider all aspects of the grand ceremony first, and submit a schedule similar to something, it will naturally reassure Huqi, and by the way, you can increase your favorability.

Qiao didn't think it was a good idea.

Seeing that Qiao was no longer holding on to the matter of Zhang Shi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to gather up the items of the grand ceremony, and then submitted them to Qiao and reported to Huqi...

...\(^o^)/~...

On the other hand, Zhang Shi did have a few brushes, and he found some handles for merging.

After all, Qiao Bing is not a very intelligent person, and he was quite bossy in the Wufang Catholicism before, so there is no so-called harmonious relationship in the dojo. After Zhang Shi just expressed his identity, Lu I have received some small reports of feeding one after another.

Whether these small reports are true or not, Zhang Shi is not easy to judge for a while, but based on experience, Zhang Shi thinks that they are true in all likelihood.It's just that after Zhang Shi received these small reports, he immediately felt that the matter was not as simple as Wei Kang said, and the matters involved were not a matter of embezzling how much money was involved.

Not long after Zhang Shi returned home, someone came to the door and sent a famous assassin to invite Zhang Shi to gather at Zuixianlou.

Zhang Shi pinched his beard, pondered for a while, picked out some of the collected evidence, put it in a small bag, and put it in his sleeve. According to the time, he arrived at Zuixian Tower and entered the private room. It was the messenger from before.

When they met each other, the messenger praised Zhang Shi for being so courageous. He personally entered the dojo and explored the secrets. He really is a talented official.Zhang Shi just smiled when he heard it.

"Brother Zhang personally explored this time, can you gain anything? 』

Hearing the messenger's question, Zhang Shi raised his eyebrows, raised his head slightly and looked back at the messenger. "Is this evidence, there is so much... But just based on rumors, I haven't exhausted it, and it can't be true. There are very few people who have real evidence. 』

The messenger said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that brother Zhang really saw the truth in the subtleties in Hedong, detected the important criminals, and wiped out the thieves for the hussars. This is not only heard by me, but witnessed by everyone!"Brother Zhang, don't be modest! 』

Zhang Shi frowned slightly.At that time, in order to survive, Zhang Shi really gave his life to fight against Hedong Pei's. At that time, all he thought was to die horizontally and vertically, so it would be better to seek life from death!
But if you really want to die like this every day, you are really afraid that you will really die at some point.

Gambling with one's life is a helpless act for a while, how can one spend one's life betting on one's life?

However, Zhang Shi still couldn't understand the slightly eager and attentive attitude of the messenger.

How much resentment is this with Qiao?

Zhang Shi pondered for a while, then said: "The matter of life and death must naturally be investigated."Now that the evidence is not conclusive, and I dare not elaborate, how about waiting for some time, after some investigation, to be able to verify the conclusiveness, then what is the reason? 』

"Uh-huh? ! The messenger was listening carefully, but he didn't expect Zhang Shi's tone to change, and he seemed to have retreated, so he frowned and said, "A certain respect for Brother Zhang's loyalty to the country and the courage to serve, but I didn't expect Brother Zhang to say that. These rhetoric are perfunctory.Brother Zhang didn't want to go into details, so he just asked a few questions, and if he refused to say anything, it would be somewhat unethical! 』

Having said this, the messenger's face became a little unhappy.

"Then... may I ask you?" 』Zhang Shi gave a signal, but he didn't continue to push, or flung his sleeves and left.

When the messenger saw Zhang, his attitude became more or less correct, and then he smiled again, and asked: "There are rumors that in the Wufang Taoist Temple, all are controlled by the Qiao family's cronies, and they are in collusion... I don't know what Brother Zhang saw, this statement Is it true? 』

Zhang Shi said: "The cronies have their own, but if they all collude, that's not the case." 』

When the messenger heard this, his face showed a bit of joy, and then he asked: "So, if there are people who are not colluding with each other, are they fighting against each other?"Hypothetical, I'm just hypothetical, can Qing Liang, who was suppressed by the Qiao family in this dojo, have the ability to dominate? 』

Zhang Shi frowned slightly, he didn't understand the meaning of the messenger for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's not necessary.After all, if you are so talented, how can you be suppressed to the point where you can't fight back? 』

The messenger nodded, and seemed to be slightly happy.

Zhang Shi's mind was spinning, and he suddenly understood what the messenger meant.

This is to replace Qiao Bing's position!

Qiao Bing's current position is somewhat special.This is more or less a technical position. It is necessary to understand Taoist scriptures and doctrinal doctrines. At the same time, it is possible to give lectures on scriptures and open Buddhist temples in the countryside.So if we say that regardless of Sanqi 21, we directly overthrow Qiao Bing, then in such a slightly special position, it is very likely that he is making a wedding dress for others!
So this is one of the reasons why Zhang Shi felt that the conditions were not mature...

Overthrowing Qiao Bing was just a matter of fulfilling his duties. Zhang Shi couldn't get any benefits from his successor, because Zhang Shi couldn't be sure who could inherit Qiao Bing's legacy, let alone the relationship with the five Taoist priests. If there is any friendship, I can't even recommend it.

In the end, Zhang Shi didn't expect that someone really had their eyes on Qiao Bing's butt, um, the position below.

In this way, the taste will change a little...

Zhang Shi suddenly sensed some danger, and he couldn't tell where the danger was, but he felt that it was better to get out of such a thing as soon as possible, so he took out from his sleeve how many benefits he originally wanted before agreeing. The evidence handed over was placed on the table, and looking at the messenger on the opposite side, "This matter...Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, so I will not participate... These are the things that I said in the dojo." Whether it is true or not, I originally wanted to investigate further, but now, I will leave it to you...』

As soon as the messenger was happy, he reached out and wanted to take it.

Zhang Shi held the bag down, "I'll stop here... for the rest, don't come to me..."

"Brother Zhang..."

Zhang Shi's face was serious, "Tomorrow a certain person will apply to go to Hanzhong to inspect the place, and will no longer participate in this matter... Do you understand?" 』

"Oh, Brother Zhang...well, since Brother Zhang insists on this..."
