喉头中箭的壮汉自称乃燕国田氏子弟,言语极其倨傲,显然以为凭其身份绝非军令所能限制,更不将平北将军放在眼里.敢于这般无礼,自然是缘故的.田姓乃幽州大姓,又分为北平,渔阳,燕国三个支脉,历代以来人才辈出,官宦不绝.汉末三国时,在公孙瓒麾下担任青州刺史的田楷,为曹公征伐乌丸担任向导的田畴,威震北疆的护匈奴中郎将田豫等多人都搅动一时风云,是名载史籍的大人物.
虽本朝开国以来鲜有中枢显宦,但凡是莅临本地为官的刺史,郡守,许多都会借重田氏在地方上盘根错节的势力,征辟田氏子弟为大吏.这壮汉名唤田旻,便是燕国田氏当代嫡脉子弟中特有声望者.他曾先后两次担任本郡功曹,主簿,家族在潞县,雍奴两地拥有规模极大的坞壁,又广有部曲亲族,极具影响力,便是在此时帐中诸人中,也是地位颇高的寥寥数人之一,乃是朱硕着力拉拢来瓜分王彭祖旧属的同盟.
Unexpectedly, such a local hero with extraordinary status, the Dai County Army actually killed him without even saying a word of hello! Everyone in the tent saw Tian Min still making a sound before, but was nailed to the pillar the next moment, his hands and feet were still twitching slightly, and they were all shocked. While they were silent, they heard someone outside the tent sneer: "What is the Tian family of Yan State? Is it very famous? I killed it like killing a dog."
The man who sneered immediately stepped into the tent and turned out to be a young officer in full military uniform. His slightly rounded face made him look a little childish, but his cold eyes when he glanced at the people in the tent immediately made everyone understand that this must be an officer in the Dai County Army who had been through many battles.
青年军官兵不去理会神情仓惶的帐中诸人,而是直接走到梁柱前站定.他左手握住田旻的发髻固定,右手抓着雕翎箭的箭杆上下摇晃.随着这个动作,破碎的血管被摇动的箭杆所挤压,一股股鲜血在格格的怪响声中涌出.摇晃了三五次之后,田旻喉间的伤口被撕裂到了可怕的程度,以至于可以直接看见灰白的颈椎了.
The officer nodded with satisfaction, exerted force, pulling out the arrows. Releasing his left hand, Tian Min's body fell to the ground like a pool of rotten flesh, his head and neck twisted, and his originally protruding eyes turned blood-red for some reason, and seemed to be staring at the people in the tent. The officer rubbed the blood-stained arrows on his sleeves without any concern, and turned to face everyone.
Not to mention the children of the wealthy clans, even the leaders of the army who were usually brave and fierce, were so frightened by these actions that they thought he was not going to attack someone next, so they took a step back in one go. Unexpectedly, the officer still ignored everyone. He strode to the tent door and shouted loudly, "Mr. Fang, Zao joins the army, why haven't you come in yet?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." The two people's coughs sounded at the same time.
After a while, someone outside the tent said helplessly: "The tent is very narrow... Cough cough... I am planning to ask you to come out and talk... General Zhu is worried."
"So that's it." The young officer muttered and asked again: "Is that nothing wrong? I think these people dare not make trouble anymore, but they still have to stare at them!"
"...It's okay, General Zhu please do whatever he wants."
"Okay!" The young officer seemed to find it a little boring. He nodded, and turned away as soon as he lifted the curtain. Seeing that he seemed to have done something insignificant, he did not take any shooting to death at all.
The curtain was lifted up again.
Everyone in the tent trembled for a while, for the reason that the one who appeared in front of them this time was not a soldier who killed people without blinking, but a handsome scholar, Fang Qinzhi, who is now highly valued by Lu Daoming.
Many people in the tent knew this great merchant who had been in contact with Youzhou and the grassland for many years, and even had many business back to him. Even if he didn't recognize him before, when watching the competition during the day, he had seen Fang Qinzhi accompanying the general Pingbei day and saying hello from afar.
Fang Qinzhi looked full of spring breeze, as if the bloody scene had never happened. He took turns to bow to everyone, and said endlessly: "Oh, Brother Feng Shi, long time no see, your spirit is getting stronger and stronger! What? I have a new concubine? Ah hahaha, come back and give me a gift, don't be polite... Old Man Lu has always been safe? The last time the two northern horses still attracted your favor? Hahahaha, no problem, there are many good horses, how many are you?... This one is... Oh oh, it turns out to be Xianyu's nephew. I haven't seen him for a few years. The young man is so handsome that I can't recognize him! Ling Zun is so good... What? It's actually... Oh, this... today's weather hahaha..."
With just one mouth, Fang Qinzhi took care of more than ten powerful families at the same time. The overly enthusiastic dealing with people often made people feel uncomfortable, but at this time, it brought some vitality to the representatives of the wealthy clans. Everyone responded to him and was taken out of the tent in a daze.
Most of the hundreds of soldiers who had originally surrounded the tent had dispersed at some point, and only dozens of people were left holding pine and torches to illuminate them. Several servants were busy arranging seats in the open air. Two main seats were placed in the middle, and the lower seats were empty, which should be Fang Qinzhi's. The first one was already a middle-aged scholar who was beautiful and beautiful.
This man is even an old acquaintance of the representatives of the wealthy clan. He is the son-in-law of the former General of the Cavalry and the governor of Youzhou Wang Pengzu, and the famous scholar Zao Song Zao Taichan.
Zao family was a high-ranking clan in Yingchuan. Since his ancestor Zao Zhi, he has served as county magistrate for five consecutive generations. Zao Song himself was also good at literature and had a very beautiful talent. Therefore, he was deeply loved by Wang Jun. Not only did he be his wife, but he also entrusted the important task of the shogunate. After Wang Jun died suddenly, his wife and son returned to Jinyang to maintain filial piety as a convention, leaving Zao Song to stay in Youzhou as half of his son to stop the successor's affairs. After Lu Yao entered Youzhou as the general of Pingbei and the general of the military affairs of Youzhou, he was extremely generous to Wang Pengzu's private finance and land in Youzhou, so he was able to recruit Zao Song as the military office to consult with the military. Although he did not participate in the confidentiality, his status was only below Shao Xu.
Compared to Fang Qinzhi's smile, Zao Song's expression was much colder. He supported the table with his elbow and leaned against the couch, watching everyone coming, but he did not want to get up to greet him.
Zhu Shuo took water from the army and rinsed his mouth, barely suppressing the pain of his teeth. He and Zao Song had gathered themselves in the past, and were jealous in front of Wang Pengzu, and had a lot of conflicts. However, after all, he was a colleague, so he stepped forward and laughed: "When will Brother Taichan come here? We have not been able to meet you from afar. I am really disrespectful, disrespectful."
Zao Song glanced at Zhu Shuo and said expressionlessly: "I've been here long ago. But when I was away with Master Fang, I was listening to you all the children's rhymes in Jicheng. Zao was too late to cover his ears, so he was really ashamed to meet him."
Everyone was arguing fiercely just now, and some people used the nursery rhymes "Zhuobo in the mansion, and ten capsules and five capsules into Zao Lang" to attack Zhu Shuo's investigation, but they did not expect to accidentally pull out Zao Song's old background. Zao Song recently joined the Pingbei Military Mansion, and his family knew that they were afraid that the intention of Qianjinshi horse bones would be the main purpose, but they might not have much trust. While they were fighting for power carefully, someone mentioned his former corruption and abuse of power in front of the confidant of General Pingbei. Wouldn't he deliberately make a dilemma? No wonder Zao Song was very angry.
Everyone screamed in unison, but they didn't know how to explain it. The first young man who brought up the nursery rhyme gritted his teeth and bowed forward with a look of earth. He was about to say something to explain, but Zao Song reached out and stopped him: "Chief Fang, let's talk about it?"
Fang Qinzhi smiled and asked everyone to sit down separately, then took out a few blank orders with bright red seals from his arms: "I will not hide it from you. General Pingbei first established the military office, and the scale began, and hundreds of people were created. Although Zao joined the army to help..." He nodded to Zao Song and continued: "...After all, I am not familiar with the local situation. Those of us who are officials often feel trembling, fearing that they would be trusted by the court and feel ashamed of their trust in General Pingbei. Fortunately, when we convened the generals of the army, we came to watch the ceremony thanks to all the young men of Youzhou. This move shows your kindness. Fang here to express our gratitude to you on behalf of General Pingbei."
When Fang Qinzhi said this, he leaned forward slightly and bowed his head to greet him.
Who dared to sit and receive a gift from him? They stood up and thanked him, and after a long time of noise, they sat down again.
But Fang Qinzhi continued, "General Lu thought that you are all pillars who can be used to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and are also dedicated to the court and have a innocent heart. Therefore, there are still many senior officials in the military palace. The quota of the chief officials is missing, so I ask you to take over. This is not the special favor of the military government, but the need to pacify the local area and stabilize the common people. Please take the local hometown as yours and do not refuse. At this moment, the blank edict is in my hands. Just after you have clarified your duties, you will be announced and implemented."
After Fang Qinzhi finished speaking, no one answered the children of the wealthy clan for a while, and the situation was in a mess.
These people are indeed the core children of the wealthy families in various places. Fang Qinzhi called them "Youzhou Junyan's children" and deserved it. The important position of officials in the prefectures and counties is indeed very needed, and the position they can perform is enough to become the starting point for a brighter future in the future. But they all knew very well that they were waiting to come to watch the ceremony just to show a certain degree of kindness to the Pingbei Military Prefecture, but they did not expect to be in office immediately. Even among the people who are more optimistic about the Pingbei Military Prefecture's position in Youzhou and feel that some of the wealthy families and military prefectures are too excessive to compete for the army, they only plan to watch the military prefecture of the military prefecture, and then carefully discuss and make a decision after returning home. Not to mention that there are also those who are determined to obstruct the military prefecture and intend to use this opportunity to incite Zhu Shuo and others from various families.
Everyone looked at each other and muttered softly for a while before someone stood up and said, "We are grateful for the beauty of General Pingbei. We are sincerely willing to run under the general's command to serve the work of dogs and horses. But we feel that our talents are shallow and may not bear the heavy responsibility of the military government... Why not wait for us to discuss with the clan and choose another capable person to come and take orders?"
Their refusal was expected by Fang Qinzhi. In the past few decades, the imperial court's control over the border has become increasingly weak, so that such local clans who are proud of their family and power are not particularly afraid of Fang Zhen's power. Sometimes they have some scrutiny and even bullying their lives, and are even reluctant to surrender to anyone easily. Fang Qinzhi was not angry and looked at Zao Song with a smile.
Zao Song snorted coldly at the right time: "Okay. You have a lot of words just now, and I need to report to the lord."
"this……"
Wang Pengzu has been governing Youzhou for many years and has always been harsh and violent. Whether the families present helped the evildoers or took advantage of the troubled waters, no one can tell how noble and honest they are. If anyone intends to collect the so-called "Jicheng nursery rhymes" that ridiculed corruption and abuse of power, he might be able to find hundreds of different versions. In addition, there is a capable official under Wang Pengzu, who is the most knowledgeable official of Zao Song and Zaotai. If the Pingbei Military Office intends to collect crimes, who can stop it? The sound of answering out of the list looked back at his companions during the banquet and suddenly felt that he was exhausted.
He heard Fang Qinzhi laugh and said, "It's okay, it's okay... This is a big deal. You need to think carefully. Don't worry, don't worry. It's too late today, so let's break up. It's not too late to talk later... Oh, by the way, the general who just entered the tent, named Zhu, is the person in charge of the military camp's security these days. He is a little anxious and is one of the most trusted capable generals of the lord. Sometimes his behavior is a bit out of order, and no one dares to persuade him. You live in the military camp, but be careful and do not violate the military law..."
Everyone was suddenly frightened. Tian Min's body was still stuck in the camp behind him. Several Yan's Tian clan members were still sad and worried and didn't know what to do. Should he go and break the military law again? It's not that he is tired of living! Fang Qinzhi said these words, which was filled with a terrible charm.
After thinking about it, this new General Pingbei, the general of the military commander of Youzhou, Lu Daoming, is really a powerful figure:
Faced with the provocative behavior of local tyrants invading the imperial court's troops, he did not directly express his hostility, but should use the system of issuing land and acres to compete for the morale of the army. This is a polite one.
The newly built school ground was named after the word "Bird's Nest". Although its meaning is Fang diligent and flattering, it may not be his intention. He directly presented a blank order to the children of the aristocratic race who came here to watch the ceremony today, allowing him to choose his own positions... This is sincerity.
For some people who are stubborn and determined to fight against the military palace to the end, there are the guidance of Zao Song, the local snake, the elite soldiers and generals who left a deep impression on everyone during the day, and the ruthless force of Zhu Sheng shooting and killing the children of the famous clan in a disagreement... This is the most powerful threat!
Faced with such a situation, how should we choose? Should we flatly reject Lu Daoming's sincere grudge and completely break up with him; or...
Not long after, the young man who initially praised Lu Yao's ability to govern the army looked at others and stood up first: "Xian Yusi thanked General Pingbei for his kindness. Xian Yu's family has lived in the northern border for hundreds of years and is familiar with cities, mountains, rivers, geography and other matters. If he does not abandon his fortune, he will be willing to join the army of the Military City Bureau and serve for General Pingbei."
The Xianyu family was also a large family with high officials and high status in the northern borders in the past. Xianyusi took the lead, and then many children of the wealthy clans asked to serve in the Pingbei Military Palace one after another. Even two clans who were not good at clans and did not dare to be proficient, they also swear that they would discuss with the elderly in the clan and would urge the dispatch of capable children to serve. Among all, Zhu Shuo may have angered the military palace because of his previous act of fanning the flames, and he was unable to get an appointment in the end.
