Han officials

Chapter 79: Han officials are thick-skinned and treacherous!
In the third year of Zhongping, in the tenth month of autumn, on the Gengxu day.

In the afternoon, outside Lelang County School.

I saw a young man in gorgeous clothes pulling a young scholar in plain blue clothes out.

"Zhong Yi, I'm telling you, it's time for you to go out for a walk."

The young man in fancy clothes said this while complaining, "You said you came here to study, but you act like you've been imprisoned. You've been in Lelang for almost a month, and I haven't seen you leave the county school!"

The young man in plain clothes said helplessly, "Good teachers are not easy to find. Liaodong finally has a great scholar teaching us. We should cherish him!"

It is said that this young man in fancy clothes was named Gong Jia, with the courtesy name Ziming, and was the son of a powerful man in Liaodong.

As for the young man in plain clothes who was being pulled by him, his name was Wei Ming, and his courtesy name was Zhongyi. He was from the same hometown as him.

Ever since the news of Sun Yan and Bing Yuan teaching at Lelang County Academy spread, many scholars from Liaodong came to study there. Especially those poor scholars who could not afford to travel to the Central Plains to study were almost ecstatic.

Gong Jia and Wei Ming were among the scholars who came to study.

However, Gong Jia is different from Wei Ming who is devoted to learning. He came to Lelang County to study under a master just to seek fame.

Just like Liu Bei in the past, Gong Jia only wanted the title of Bing Yuan's disciple.

As for studying the classics and researching, he really doesn't have that talent.

So, today, after hearing that there was something exciting to see in the city, he dragged his good brother out.

Wei Ming was a little reluctant at first, but when Gong Jia pulled him outside the prefect's mansion, he could no longer walk.

"What's happening here?"

It’s no wonder Wei Ming was making a fuss. The situation in front of him was just too strange.

Hundreds of people from the Three Han states, dressed in barbarian clothing, were lying outside the governor's mansion and crying loudly.

Judging from their clothes, there are common people wearing linen straw sandals, as well as the powerful nobles of the Three Han dynasties wearing brocade clothes and fox furs.

However, what the people outside the prefectural government watched the fun talk about most are the women wearing breast-revealing clothes.

To be honest, at least half of the people in the prefectural government came for them.

It’s not that there are no such women at home, nor that these women from the Three Han countries are so beautiful, it’s just that the situations are different.

After all, when something you secretly watched at home suddenly appears in broad daylight, it gives people a different feeling.

Seeing Wei Ming's reaction, Gong Jia said with satisfaction, "This is the envoy from the Three Han States seeking aid."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the crowd of people from the Three Han countries who were crying in front of the governor's mansion gradually stop crying.

Then, one of the old men in brocade clothes and fox fur took a few steps forward, holding a scroll of silk book high in his hands and kneeling in front of the steps.

"Heaven has no mercy on me, and I lament for my land of Korea, where natural disasters continue and man-made calamities abound."

"Today, the false king Jin Zuo reigns. He has a heart of a snake and a nature of a fox. He harms our country and confuses our land of Han. The flames of war are endless, the dead are piled up side by side, the sun and the moon are dimmed, and the heavens and the earth are shaken. Alas, how sorrowful!"

"The illustrious imperial edict is magnificent. Although we are from the Eastern Barbarians outside the Great Wall, we have long heard of the Chinese etiquette and have long admired it. Unfortunately, we were previously prevented by the false king from receiving Chinese education."

"I now humbly request the Heavenly Arms to enter Han and save the people from disaster. I hope the Governor will have mercy on our land, allowing wanderers to return home and barbarians to learn. If you are granted power, you will travel far and wide to let all the people of Han know the kindness of the Heavenly Arms!"

"I wander the universe, weeping and speaking, my only hope is to weep like Shen Baoxu, and I hope you will forgive me!"

When the old man spoke these words in a loud and strange Chinese voice, the crowd watching the excitement outside the prefectural government office was suddenly in an uproar.

Whether it was the scholars who came here to study or the idle people in Lelang, they all looked inexplicably surprised at this moment.

They didn't expect that they would encounter such a big thing just because they came here for fun!
For a moment, there was a lot of noise outside the prefectural governor's mansion.

Gong Jia and Wei Ming didn't even bother to listen to the class. They immediately gathered in the crowd and waited for the follow-up with great interest.

No one knew what the people in the prefectural governor's mansion were thinking. Anyway, half an hour passed until the old man had shouted over and over again three times before a county official came out and led the old man in.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers immediately lost their inhibitions and rushed forward out of curiosity, surrounding the group of Han barbarians and asking them questions. Although only a few of them could speak Chinese, their words still shocked everyone.

When I learned that the various tribes were still fighting among themselves during the famine in the Three Kingdoms of Korea, I immediately understood why this group of people came to the prefectural governor's office to ask for help.

It turned out that the chaos in the Three Kingdoms of Han was so outrageous that they requested the heavenly soldiers to enter the court.

So before any news came out of the prefectural governor's mansion, the scene outside the mansion spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the city.

……

After sending away the profusely grateful old man from Sanhan, Wei Zhe immediately clapped his hands and laughed happily.

"This way, there will be no more worries!"

Xi Zhicai smiled faintly upon hearing this, his eyes full of confidence.

Yes, today's play was thought up by Xi Zhicai.

The "Petition to Send Heavenly Soldiers to Han" in the old man's hand was even written by Xi Zhicai.

Isn't it necessary to have a legitimate reason?

Okay, then it would be fine if the people of the Three Han took the initiative to ask the Han army to enter Korea to quell the rebellion.

After all, this reason and righteousness are simply too justified.

In order to make his reasons more convincing, Wei Zhe even asked Guan Xiu to contact several rulers of the Three Kingdoms to petition together.

Look~ those are the ones kneeling outside the prefect’s mansion.

One is the king of Gula and the other is the king of Chuli.

As for the others, they were the rulers of Mou Han and Chen Han.

Of course, when we say king, he is actually the leader of the tribe.

The name sounds impressive, but in reality, everyone is almost starving to death.

You have to know that after three months of fermentation, there were almost dozens of kings who died in the chaos.

Therefore, as soon as Guan Xiu contacted them, these tribal leaders agreed, and some were even more impatient than Guan Xiu.

They didn't know the inside story, they just thought Guan Xiu's suggestion was really good.

So they really wanted to ask Wei Zhe to send troops and really wanted to submit to the Han Dynasty.

You have to know that in today's Three Han states, even the tribal leaders are in danger of losing their power!

With this "Petition to Send Heavenly Soldiers to Han", even the most conservative scholar would probably not dare to say anything.

After all, this is "comforting the people and punishing the criminals", which is the ritual of three generations!

In this way, it was not Wei Zhe who invaded the Three Han, but the people of the Three Han who prayed to the Han soldiers to uphold justice and save the people from dire straits.

It has to be said that Wei Zhe has become more and more shameless since he became the prefect.

However, Wei Zhe didn't care about this at all.

Even now, the people of the Three Kingdoms of Korea themselves believe that the famine was a natural disaster and the civil war was a man-made disaster.

More than a hundred years later, when all traces were lost in history, no one knew the truth anymore.

Anyway, there have been too many historical truths that have been obliterated since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so this one is not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhe stood up slowly with a solemn expression and said:
"The time has come, it's time to send troops!"
