The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 167
"Fei Cheng, what else do you have to say?"

What else can I say?If you continue to resist and push Mao Jiong into a hurry, more soldiers will definitely be mobilized to arrest the Fei family.

Chinese people have always attached great importance to family.In ancient China, the inheritance of the family is the first priority, and its significance far exceeds that of an individual's life.Therefore, when Mao Jiong had faintly started to threaten the entire Fei family, Fei Cheng could no longer resist.

"I have been staying in remote Yunnan half a month ago. Even so, I have known that General Fei is a good official since I was a child. Those years when he was in power were the most comfortable days for the people of Yunnan County. ... But, hey, Huangmen servant, this is treason!"

"You think I'm willing to treason again? My father worked hard for this country, and the whole country is thriving in his hands. Although he has a monopoly on himself, he never seeks personal gain for himself... Although my Fei family is not so rich, But among these dignitaries in Chengdu, he is really poor! But what did he get? An assassin easily assassinated him in broad daylight! Afterwards, no one in the whole country is interested in investigating this case... China, why do you care about my father? Hehehe, yes. When my father was in power, he suppressed Jiang Wei from the Northern Expedition, suppressed the aristocratic family, and did not harm the people. It made no one happy... Once my father died, Jiang Wei can go on an unrestrained Northern Expedition, eight times in five years! The originally full treasury of the country is quickly drying up... The aristocratic families can embezzle the country's assets at will... The emperor can also take charge of the government... It turns out that when my father dies, nothing but us Apart from the sorrow of the family, everyone is very happy, they all wish that my father would die early! How can I not rebel against such a country?!"

After hearing Fei Cheng's roar, Mao Jiong lost all his anger.He let out a long sigh and waved his hand: "Let's sign, draw and pledge. Jiong has always believed that eating the king's salary is a matter of loyalty to the king. As long as you accept other people's requisition, you have to do things for others to the end. In the process, don't ask others how they treat you How... Forget it, for the sake of General Fei's kindness, I guarantee that you will not suffer any embarrassment until your fate is finally decided."

After finishing speaking, Mao Jiong beckoned to the soldiers outside the door in dismay: "Next."

……

The night of March [-]th in the second year of Yanxing was destined to be a sleepless night.During this night, the heads of the eighteen powerful families in Chengdu were all taken away by the Habayashi Army.

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, the gazebos at the gates of Prince's Mansion and Da Sima Mansion were suddenly overcrowded.

"At Qi's home, outside the door were Shangshu servant She Pang Hong, Zhenjun general Zongyu, Zuoche cavalry general Zhang Yi, Guanglu doctor Zhang Yu, Shangshulang Wang Chen, Huangmen servant Huang Tong... a total of officials of all sizes. 78 people, please see me at home."

Seeing the concierge who had submitted so many consecutive applicants that he couldn't catch his breath, Liu Chen couldn't help but chuckled slightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, drink some water and take a breath."

"Thank you for being considerate of my servants. Uh, my lord, so many officials..."

"Hehehe, see you, see you together. But tell them that Gu is not free today, let them come back in ten days."

"Here!"

Looking at the doorman who was far away, Liu Chen turned around and said, "Masters, are there more people here at the Da Sima Mansion?"

Liu Chen used to be an empty prince, and he didn't have any important officials around him.But it is different now, he is the crown prince, and he will be in charge of this country in the future.So Guan Yi assigned him certain state ministers to teach him.

The crown prince is Jiang Wei, but for the general, this title is more honor than actual title.Because the general has now captured the Qishan camp and stationed there himself.Chengdu is so far away, he has no time to come back and educate his family.

76-year-old Liu Yin, as the prince Shaofu, is currently the person with the highest position in his family.His main duty is to explain the way of battle to the prince.Although this master is from Chengdu, Yizhou, he is Jiang Fan, and he is also a firm member of the Northern Expedition. It is absolutely impossible for Guan Yi to let a capitulation leader like Qiao Zhou teach the prince as before. .

Dong Jue, 65 years old, is the prince's young teacher.As the veteran with the strongest political ability among the elders of the Jingzhou School, his duty is to teach the prince how to handle civil affairs.

Zhang Tong, the crown prince, used to be the head of the palace guard.Individual combat ability is very good.So he is the prince's martial arts instructor.

It should be said that Guan Yi has considered Liu Chen very thoughtfully, and Liu Chen is also rapidly transforming from a simple and passionate prince to a country manager.

As for Liu Gan, the other Prince Sheren, hehe, Guan Yi is a time traveler.In the Red Dynasty of the 21st century, if the higher-ups want to clean up a big corrupt official, they must first give you an honorary false title, transfer you from your original post, and then facilitate the investigation.These are all routines, routines.

None of the three answered Liu Chen's question just now.Because, there is someone in it who is very embarrassing.

He is Prince Shaofu Liuyin.

"Hey, Master Liu, I heard that your nephew Liu Tong seems to be among the 18 people arrested last night?"

"At home, I am ashamed. I am terrified and at a loss, please resign."

"Hey, Master Liu spent more than a month with Gu, and taught Gu a lot of things. How could Gu be willing to let you leave? Besides, Master Liu has served in the army for more than [-] years, and he has followed the Great General nine times in the Northern Expedition. For my sake, Master Liu has gone through many hardships, going through life and death. How could a person like you betray this country? As for Liu Tong? Master Liu, it is normal for a towering tree to occasionally grow one or two dead branches and leaves. Master Liu, please don't pay too much attention to it."

"Yes, Xiu Ran. In the past few decades, although you have been the patriarch of the Liu family in Chengdu in name, you have been in northern Xinjiang for many years and have no energy to manage the housework. There are one or two prodigal sons in the family, but it has nothing to do with you. "

"That's right, Mr. Xie Ran. Zhang Tong has been stationed in Chengdu for a long time, and he knows very well that among your relatives in the Liu family, they all think you are the traitor..."

"Thank you, my family, for your forgiveness. But according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, treason is a serious crime to exterminate the three clans. Liu Yin was originally a rare person, and his nephew committed such a heinous crime. Liu Yin was beheaded without complaint. Just my great-granddaughter, two months old..."

"Hehehe, don't worry, Master Liu. Da Sima told Gu before. He is not Sima Zhao. He can't do things like destroying other people's three clans."

……

On the other side, Da Sima Mansion.Guan Yi's study.

"My Chi Nuer, you are so courageous! You actually copied [-] companies in one night!"

"Hey hey, uncle, are you here to praise me?"

"Nonsense, the old man is here to teach you a lesson!"

After the old and the young stared at each other for a long time, Liao Hua couldn't hold back at first, and burst out laughing.

"Hey, you lazy bastard. Well done! The old man has long since disliked this group of silverfish! Good catch!"

"Well, then what?"

"Then, hum! There is no more, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, these people will wipe out the three clans!"

"Uncle, stop pretending. If you keep pretending like this, others will say that I'm not good at words."

"Hey, okay. What the old man means is that Xiuran and I went to the Northern Expedition together, and we have been friends with each other for more than ten years. For this, can Liu Tong's three clans be limited. And what about Fei Cheng? I don't like that pacifist Fei Yi, but the country was much better than it is now when he was in power. So..."

"Uncle, please rest assured. Although the previous Han Law and the Shu Division formulated by the Prime Minister all listed treason as a serious crime equivalent to rebellion, and wanted to wipe out the three ethnic groups. But Guan Yi will never do this. I have been in the country for more than 40 years. Yang Yi vented his personal anger and slaughtered Wei Yan's three clans, why did I, a big man, have a bloody incident of exterminating three clans? I'm not Sima Zhao!"

"Then what are you going to do with these people?"

"Treason, I don't say anything. The person involved must be beheaded. The rest will not be asked!"

"Aren't you afraid that the descendants of these people will seek revenge on you?"

The problem Liao Hua mentioned is indeed a very real problem.

In ancient China, filial piety was emphasized too much.The father was killed by someone else, for whatever reason.So a son who avenges his father and lynches the person involved will not be condemned, but will be praised by the society.And once the revenge is successful, even though he committed the crime of homicide, in the face of strong public opinion, the murderer himself will often be acquitted.

This, on the surface, seems to encourage filial piety, but actually creates a more serious problem: to prevent revenge.The parties often like to wipe out other people's three clans!The three clans are gone, who will seek revenge on me?

If Guan Yi killed Fei Cheng, he would kill Liu Tong.However, the three clans of these two families were not wiped out. Then, in this era, Fei Cheng and Liu Tong's sons had every reason and motivation to take revenge on Guan Yi after they grew up.If the assassination of Guan Yi is successful, there is a great possibility that he will escape unscathed...

"Hey, all the blame is mine. Who made me choose this road. But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how dangerous the future may be. Since I have chosen this road, I will definitely be firm Go on! In any case, it is impossible to start from me to destroy other people's three clans!"
