Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2773
But Wang Chang didn't expect that after the ceremony, the flames that lingered in the warmth could still burn himself.

In other words, it was not aimed at Wang Chang, but at Fei Qian, the hussar general represented by Wang Chang.

Just when Wang Chang thought that the celebration was over, the excitement was over, and the things he was doing secretly were progressing in a hurry, and when he was about to return, he encountered a tricky thing...

Of course, Wang Chang didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

The general minister, also known as the Shaofu, Mao Zong, impeached the Hushi general for deliberately concealing the real gunpowder technique, paying tribute to fake gunpowder, and deceiving the emperor. The crime was extremely heinous, and immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone knows that the main positions of the nine ministers in the court, including the Shaofu, that is, the ministers, are actually under the orders of Cao Cao. So this time, does Mao Zong's impeachment of the hussars mean a new round? The battle of things is about to kick off?
Immediately there was an edict from the emperor, asking Wang Chang to defend the court on behalf of the hussars.

What does this mean?
When Wang Chang received this edict, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

The Son of Heaven, or Cao Cao asked the hussars to pay tribute to gunpowder. In fact, Wang Chang knew about it a long time ago. As well as the understanding of hussars politics, the dynasty gradually learned some of the mysteries...

After receiving the edict, Wang Hexu and Chen Bin, who were in the post house, came to discuss countermeasures.

This time the so-called impeachment of Mao Zong made Wang Chang feel angry and funny.

Normally, the hussars either did not pay tribute to gunpowder, or did, but the amount given was small. Wang Chang could understand both of these situations.But it involves real and fake gunpowder, which is a bit funny.So Wang Chang first set the most basic tone of the temple theory, the gunpowder that the hussars paid tribute to must not be fake.

Because it's totally unnecessary.

Wang Chang didn't get a copy of Mao Zong's impeachment, so he didn't know what the reasons for Mao Zong's impeachment were. However, Wang Chang believed that Fei Qian, the general of Hussars, would either not give it to him or not give it to him. If you give it, you won't give fakes.

Inferior goods are possible.

Like those armored horses or something...

So you can say "time", but it is definitely not "false".

"General Mao must have been ordered by the prime minister. ”Compared to Chen Bin, the post office commander who knows Xu County better, he said in a low voice, “The Mao family was single-handedly picked up by Prime Minister Cao, and he was originally from a poor family. 』

poor family.

This is in line with Cao Cao's way of employing people.

During this period of time, Cao Cao appointed a large number of children from poor families.These humble children, together with members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, supported most of the framework of Shandong's political arena.

The Shaofu is mainly responsible for craftsmen, or the predecessor of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for the country's engineering construction, so although the position may not be as high as Sangong, but there is a lot of money passed by. If you are not a trustworthy person, Cao Cao will not let him in this position.Therefore, Mao Zong's impeachment can basically be instructed by Cao Cao.

So why did Cao Cao instruct Mao Zong to impeach Wang Chang at this time?

Just when the celebration was over and Wang Chang and others were about to leave, they were impeached by coincidence.

Xu Ju frowned and said, "It must be Cao's plan!"Could it be that the Cao family wanted to hold us as hostages, so they pretended to be guilty of this crime?Wait, could it be that Mrs. Cao found out about our transfer of hostages, and deliberately used this as an excuse to add crimes to you and me? 』

This may also be a possibility.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, hostages were actually a very broad political means.

Cao Cao also implemented many strategies on hostage means, and even issued a special decree, saying that if the generals in command are outside, then hostages are needed, "if the army is broken outside, the family will suffer inside."

At present, Wang Chang and Xu Ju transferred some family members and children in Shandong to Guanzhong through various means. Cao Cao found out, and naturally it was tantamount to destroying Cao Cao's hostage system. Nature is a matter of reason.

Wang Chang was taken aback when he heard the words, then frowned and said, "If so, it will be a little troublesome." 』

Cao Cao's taking the Son of Heaven is actually a kind of hostage system, but this hostage can't be clearly stated, and it has been changed to a name, which is called "hostage".

Especially in the period of splitting and war in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, in order to achieve various military and political goals of various separatist forces, the hostage method was widely used, and even became a kind of unspoken rule.

One of the reasons is that the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was weak, which led to the loss of the prestige of the government, and few people obeyed laws and the like, let alone social morality?In addition, the army composition of the warlords in the late Han Dynasty was very complicated, with various sources of troops. For the purpose of controlling these soldiers, taking their family members as hostages was also an effective means.

Especially Cao Cao.

Cao Cao defeated Er Yuan and recruited many soldiers from other princes. Cao Cao has always been skeptical about these soldiers. Meaning is still unhappy.First of all, your name should be majestic, and you should be kind and lenient, otherwise there will be changes." Just treat it with care and don't make troubles.

In addition, this is also a mode of thinking inherent in Huaxia.At that time, Guan Zhong once said to Duke Huan of Qi like this: "The tomb of the parents in the old country is solid;The three are prepared, and then the prestige is strengthened, and the intention is sharpened, and the people will die and not be deceived. 』

In other words, buying a house, giving birth to a child, and then giving them a job can "strengthen their prestige and strengthen their intentions", and then "the people must die and not be bullied".

As for hostages, each dynasty has its own means, and it can’t be considered an incredible thing, but it’s just hard to say on the bright side, just like the brick family in later generations would persuade them to empty out six pockets every day, and then look Sincerely express that this is to let ordinary people take advantage of it, but I will never say the same about those things behind it.

Of course, Cao Cao is not the only one who did this. In fact, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, the other two did the same.

It's just that Zhaquan has changed its name to "Quality Guarantee", and the guarantor is the guarantor. "Wu created the country with grassroots, but his trust was not strong. The border guards all pledged their wives, and they called them "guaranteed quality"." 』

It can be seen that Zha Quan has gone too far, instead of allowing the children of these generals to live a normal life, they have placed them under house arrest as pigs...

Although Liu Bei did not specifically record the house arrest of hostages, he also did it.Liu Bei himself took the family members of Baishuiguan soldiers as hostages.Later, Liu Bei captured the three eastern counties, and after the Shen brothers surrendered to Liu Bei, they sent their wives and clan to Chengdu. 』

Zhuge Liang did the same. At that time "the Red Armored Army often took its people", Zhuge Liang "moved the family members to Hanzhong".

These are typical arrangements that take the families of soldiers as hostages.

Most of the time, the king's "hostage" method can still achieve a certain effect, but when encountering a ruthless person who doesn't care about his wife, even if he is ten times hostage, it will be useless.

And after all, it's not a very honorable thing, just like Cao Cao wanted to take Sun Quan hostage, didn't he mean to let his son come to Yecheng to study?So it's not easy for Cao Cao to directly say that Wang Chang is doing this, how can I still control the hostages?Therefore, it is also appropriate to adopt another angle to warn, or to stop Wang Chang's behavior of transferring his family members.

But the problem is, Wang Chang is not someone from the hussars, even if Wang Chang is detained, what is the use?

"If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it!" "Chen Bin said angrily, "Hussar Rende, but ended up in the name of false tribute, the crime of deceiving the emperor!" 』For Chen Bin, since Wang Chang has arrived in Xu County, he has to bear the responsibility for Wang Chang's safety. If Wang Chang is killed in Xu County, it will undoubtedly damage the diplomatic system, and it is also equivalent to Chen Bin and others. There was danger, so Chen Bin was somewhat worried and afraid in his anger.

Xu said: "Then why don't we uncover this item and say that the prime minister intends to detain it!"At that time, it will definitely attract people's resentment and know its despicableness! 』

Wang He said at the side, "is it necessary for me to talk about the matter of Cao's coercion of the emperor?"Furthermore, impeachment is a falsehood of gunpowder. Even if we say it is a matter of hostages, how many people understand the truth and know the connection? 』

Wang He is old and experienced in handling things, so this statement is even more pertinent.

Where do the people who eat melons care what the root cause is, or just eat melons when they have them?
How many people will use their heads to think about why the melon will fall?
When the time comes, Man Talking about the hostages can't be clear about it, and he might really end up with the title of "fake tribute and bullying"!

Wang Chang frowned, and after a while suddenly smiled, "Someone has a plan... Since it is said to be fake tribute, let's talk about fake tribute!" 』

……(▽)/…

the other side.

Guo Jia shook his head while holding the wine gourd in one hand.

"There are very few great scholars in ancient and modern times. 』

"Science is almost called learning, and it is questionable, so it is more than learning."Why can learning be compared with famous scholars?Scholars, what can you study, but do your research, be diligent, diligent, and prudent, just write a few words, lest you make mistakes..."

"It's very difficult to study academics so that the Ming Dynasty can know!" 』

Xun Yu frowned at the side, "Feng Xiao you... what does this mean?" 』

Guo Jia ignored him, but continued to say, "Ancient knowledge can only be given if one has the ambition to seek it. Therefore, the rule of law is rare, precious and precious."Today's learning uses promiscuity, wealth to comfort oneself, and stealing virtue to be a philistine. Many people are not ashamed but proud!Hahahaha, learning... The way of learning in ancient and modern times can be described as different! 』

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and remained silent.

Xun Yu knew what Guo Jia said, on the surface it was about learning, but in fact it was not learning.

If a society has moral decline at the level of learning, is it only a problem of learning?

When seeing someone doing good deeds, the first thing to react is not that this person is doing good deeds, but first thinking about why this person is doing good deeds?Is it the mother bitch?Did you do something wrong?Under such circumstances, is it only because of the problem of Our Lady?

"Feng Xiao..." Xun Yu said, "Why is this so..."

Guo Jia laughed, "Why is that so?Indeed why! 』

"My lord's decision to do this is because people in Shandong are fluctuating, so I have no choice but to do it..." Xun Yu said slowly, "If the world is peaceful, it will naturally be more important than learning..."

Guo Jia just laughed.

Xun Yu's voice lowered.

It is difficult to build, but easy to destroy.

This is true in learning, and it is also true in other aspects.

Guo Jia laughed so hard that he seemed to have no strength left, he stopped, took a breath, and then said: "The Great Discussion at the Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong is coming to an end now, it's a serious solution, the world is right...well, that's great...Wen Ruo Ah, do you know how many modern and ancient Chinese texts, Shandong and Shanxi, are there in this serious orthodox solution? 』

Xun Yu was silent.

Guo Jia didn't need to describe the answer, he knew it.

"Big man..." Guo Jia patted the table lightly, "There are sunflowers in the green garden, and the morning dew is waiting for the sun... Shouldn't the big man be like this?Why not? 』

Although Guo Jia said that he was extremely intelligent, but he didn't know if it was because he had been to Chang'an that he felt that conspiracy and tricks were not something worthy of praise and glory. On the contrary, Yangmou was more admirable and let Man cannot resist.

After all, conspiracies are sometimes more careful, cautious, and not greedy for cheap, you can basically avoid most of them, and Yangmou is the kind that cannot be avoided no matter how careful you are, you can only follow the pace of the other party. Going away will somewhat make Guo Jia, who claims to be smart, feel helpless.

As Cao Cao's intelligence chief, Guo Jia was aware of some changes in Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, but the more he understood, the more emotion Guo Jia felt.Some people say that writing is the voice of the heart, so why not for a country?When the mainstream literature in society is what it is, what is the "heart" of this country can be seen more or less.

Chang'an Qinglong Temple tolerates both modern and ancient Chinese, as well as Shanxi and Shandong. Isn't this attitude of not rejecting, not being afraid, and seeking truth and truth, the original bearing of a big man that Guo Jia and others have always hoped to see?

How can a big man be as small as Xiao Ruoxiao?
"Forget it, let's not talk about literature, let's talk about martial arts... Something must have happened in the Western Regions... Although I still don't know what happened..." Guo Jia said slowly, "But now the Western Regions sell goods, and the prices are soaring." Rising... There must be a problem... Plus Lu Fengxian... Hehe... But, Wen Ruo, you know that Lu Fengxian, the Protectorate of the Western Regions, his wife and children are all in the Western Regions!Hussars did not leave a single person!No one left! 』

Xun Yu remained silent.

"And Liu Xuande! ’Guo Jia shook his head, ‘The Jiaozhi mountains are high and the waters are far away, and there are many miasmas and insects. Logically speaking, what’s wrong with keeping Liu Xuande and others in Sichuan?Even whoever comes, there is reason to speak of!But the hussars didn't stay!Do as you please!If it is said that Liu Xuande is somewhat famous, but what about Lu Fengxian?Haha, how dare this hussar, why would he dare to do this?Aren't hussars afraid of frontier rebellion?So why not be afraid? 』

Guo Jia stared at Xun Yu, but Xun Yu avoided Guo Jia's gaze.

Everything needs a degree.

It’s too late.

Huaxia itself is very particular about this issue, and the doctrine of the golden mean is not just soft and muddy.

Regarding the monitoring and control of officials, Guo Jia believes that necessary measures should be taken. After all, the Han Dynasty had a censor system, a governor system, and a local supervision system, etc., all to ensure that officials would not implement the above-mentioned regulations. what is the problem.However, these daily censor inspections are on official business, and it is a necessary process management from public to public, but it is somewhat over the line to use family members as pledges.

Not only has it passed, but the effect is not good.

Xiang Yu arrested Liu Bang's father as a threat, but is it useful?
Not only could Liu Bang not be allowed to succumb, but he was even reprimanded.

Unless it's those who like to rush to other people's houses at every turn, saying that you don't want your husband to be so...

Otherwise, what good is the hostage system?
Can the hostage really control the ambitions of those ambitious people?
Whether it is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, or the Han Dynasty, is there any careerist who cares about his so-called hostages?

It's just that Boss Cao is very stubborn on this matter, and he is very taboo to talk about this issue, so whether it is Guo Jia or Xun Yu, it is difficult to say anything.

"My lord's intentions may not be all here. ’ Xun Yu said.

Guo Jia nodded, "I understand... I understand... This celebration is so good, do you always have to give the emperor a step, or else this celebration can't be celebrated, and the ceremony can't be completed. Amnesty? It doesn't matter if I am pardoned or not." The difference... Firstly, you can warn the hussars and others, secondly, you can let the emperor understand that the hussars are nothing more than that, and thirdly... If you don't do this, how can you move to Yecheng in the future?right?What else, you say, you say...』

Guo Jia actually guessed what Cao Cao meant. Xun Yu sighed softly and didn't say anything further.Just like what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao didn't come up with this incident necessarily because he was preparing to find an excuse to fight the hussars head-on, but to divert attention.On the one hand, it is to divert the attention of the emperor, and on the other hand, it is also to divert the attention of the courtiers.

The Son of Heaven was confused at the ceremony, so he must be angry. Now Mao Zong jumped out and said, Your Majesty, look, hussars are not a good bird, and even made fake gunpowder to deceive His Majesty, so don’t count on your Majesty. What a hussar, it's best to stay here honestly.

In addition, for a period of time, the goods from Chang'an have always been the most sought-after goods of the sons of Shandong gentry, and many people would rather spend more money to buy goods from Guanzhong than local goods. His behavior, a wave of publicity, to show that the kid in Guanzhong didn't follow his good intentions, and didn't bring out good things...

Of course, both Guo Jia and Xun Yu knew the deeper meaning.

By doing this, Cao Cao has already shown that he wants to break away from Yingchuan's control. Well, maybe it can't be called control. It can only be said that Lao Cao likes to coerce others, and he doesn't like others to coerce him...

But the problem is that doing so is not a good thing.

At least Guo Jia felt that the so-called hostage system was not very good.

"Such a policy will be a hidden danger sooner or later..." Guo Jia said slowly, "If you don't change it, there will be disasters in the future... But, hehe, there may not be you and me at that time... Drinking, drinking Bar!The world is long, the years are short, how to relieve worries, only Dukang!My lord's words won my heart!It won my heart! 』
