"When the cart is loaded, I abandon you to help. When you are carrying it, I will help you!" The Book of Songs Xiaoya first month
"My minister has little power and is not important. I can't say anything useful." Pei Qian rolled up the slip, took a step forward, put the book back on the case with both hands, and said to the emperor with a smile: "
Everything depends on His Majesty’s decision.”
"Don't come here." The emperor smiled and scolded: "Don't think that I don't know, and you are not easy to get along with."
Pei Qian is informal, no matter what he says or does. Compared with ordinary people who always put on airs and act like a family intentionally or unintentionally, he can be said to be a natural without any decoration. He is a rare flower among aristocratic families, and he is like the same.
The eccentric Fazheng, Wang Fu and others have similar personalities. In the secretarial prison, he is incompatible with Yang Xiu, Huan Fan and other traditional and noble family members.
Although the emperor likes to be quiet, he is more compatible with Pei Qian than Yang Xiu and others who like to show off their posture. Otherwise, if he is surrounded by elegant gentlemen who cannot let go of their posture, the emperor will sooner or later become bored.
of.
Pei Qian knew that the emperor liked his temperament, so he was not very restrained in private. Instead, he laughed even more cheerfully: "It is my fault that I have made it difficult for your majesty to deal with you. Please forgive me."
The emperor snorted softly and walked slowly to the window. Outside the window was a cool place: "What do you think?"
"It depends on what your Majesty wants." Pei Qian said straightforwardly, rarely correcting his expression, as if he looked like an adult.
"A thousand pieces of gold are easy to get." The emperor gestured to the letters on the table with his eyes: "A book is hard to find."
"That's right." Pei Qian immediately answered: "When I learned that His Majesty ordered Cui Gong to search for books and scriptures from all over the world and compile an imperial review, he thought that this was a major event comparable to Dongguan's school book to promote literature and education, so he also
Come up with something."
The Pei family and the Wei family have been friends in Hedong for generations. Now that Wei Ji is in trouble, Pei Mao has to try his best to get some money no matter what. This is a moral thing. What's more, Wei Ji surrendered in time and made meritorious service in the prosecution.
They should not be treated like Fan Xian and others, let alone the foreign enemies at this time. This is also the confidence that Pei Mao dares to go into the water to fish for people.
Of course, all this ultimately depends on the emperor's attitude towards the Wei family. If the attitude is resolute, then Pei Mao and others will not be able to involve themselves. Therefore, Pei Mao and others have to ask for pardon for Wei Cang before they officially take action.
, so the soft-spoken secretary Lang Wang Can was the first to ask for directions. In this way, Pei and others would have room to maneuver, so as not to get into trouble. Secondly, since Wang Can was still close to the emperor, the emperor would not have to worry about it.
Affecting the secretary's harmony among everyone.
The emperor was both proud and amused by the cautious probing behavior of the nobles below. In fact, in his mind, Wei Ji was not an unpardonable person. The reason why he was still locked up in Tingwei Prison was just to show off.
See how much others are willing to pay to redeem him.
Lands, houses, property, these things are everywhere in Hedong. The wealth that once belonged to powerful families will soon be handed over to the emperor through Yang Pei's formal sentencing of these people. What can really impress the emperor is now
There were only books left, but the emperor never thought that Pei would be willing to bear this price?
"Oh?" The emperor was a little surprised, and he said meaningfully: "How does Mr. Pei want to contribute?"
"My father-in-law said that the compilation of the imperial gazette is a grand cultural and educational event. It should not be cherished in vain. We should call on all families to donate books to enrich the secret palace. Especially Wei Jun, my father-in-law wanted to remember the friendship in the past and went to visit Tingwei prison. According to Wei Jun,
He said that he is willing to submit what he has in his home to help your majesty compile books." Pei Qian said calmly: "I also have one or two volumes of posthumous notes from my predecessors at home. I would like to copy them and present them to your majesty."
"You, the Pei family from Hedong, only have two volumes of books?" The emperor didn't believe it.
Pei Qian no longer maintained a serious look at this time, but said a little shamelessly: "How dare I deceive Your Majesty? To be honest, there are books in Shiqu Pavilion that I have at home. There are also books in Shiqu Pavilion. Some of them are even
It's not as good as the collection of books in His Majesty's palace being kept intact. Even if such books are presented, they will only appear to be too many, and what good will they do to His Majesty?"
"Okay, you said two volumes, two volumes." The emperor knew that it was impossible for them to spit out all the books, unless he put a knife on Wei's neck like he did now, but the cost of such a thing was too high.
, it is impossible for him to succeed every time. He said helplessly: "Anyway, I won't go to your hometown of Wenxi to check every roll."
"If Your Majesty wants to visit my humble residence, I would like to be the messenger of the dustpan." Pei Qian said seriously.
"What did you say?" The emperor was amused by what he said. He pointed at Pei Qian and pretended to curse: "I also wanted to get you closer to Wang Fu so that he could make progress, but I didn't expect you.
It’s becoming more and more unrestrained like him.”
Pei Qian immediately lowered his head, as if listening to the holy teachings.
After the emperor rebuked him, he laughed for a while, then stopped his smile and said slowly: "It's hard to go to all the trouble for Mr. Cai."
Pei Qian was stunned and couldn't help but look up. He saw the emperor standing alone by the window. Outside the window was a darkening sky. The black dress the emperor was wearing seemed to melt into the thick ink.
In the night.
It was not only Pei Mao but also Cai Yong who wanted to rescue the Wei family.
Wang Can and Cai Yong had a close friendship, and the two even had a life-saving relationship. Cai Yong's daughter Cai Zhaoji married Wei Zhongdao, Wei Zhongdao's younger brother Wei Boxi. Although Wei Zhongdao died early, the kindness between the two families still existed.
This time, whether it was because of the friendship between the two families in the past or the relationship between his daughter and her husband's family, Yong had to lend a helping hand, because saving others was also saving himself.
If the Wei family were to be overthrown, Cai Yong might be implicated, and behind Cai Yong stood Ma Rixi. In addition, Dong Cheng had also deliberately wooed Wei Qian and other Hedong noble families.
It can be said that as long as the emperor is willing, the Wei family can become a handle for everyone, and everyone in the court will be suspected of colluding with Yuan Shao.
In order to prevent the impact of this incident from expanding, and to prevent the emperor from taking the opportunity to perform surgery after the war was settled, rescuing the Wei family and clearing the suspicion were what Cai Yong and the people behind him urgently had to do.
The emperor's deliberate move these days was to imitate Emperor Guangwu and ordered his generals to search for classics and atlases wherever they went. Soon, the opinions of the people left behind in Chang'an were sent from Chang'an in the form of memorials.
Cai Yong, Ma Rixi and others each wrote two types of memorials. The memorials by Cai Yong and others did not mention the Wei family at all, but expressed their approval of the emperor's search for classics and respect for literature and education, and were willing to offer various collections to
As to whether the compilation of Huang Lan was dedicated to all, that is a matter of opinion.
However, the memorials of Ma Rixi, Dong Cheng and other three princes impeached Fan Xian and others, and unanimously supported the emperor's use of heavy codes and would not condone the behavior. If this was to support the emperor's use of cruel methods on the premise of protecting the Wei family, This method carried out a large-scale purge of the small and medium-sized powerful people in Hedong.
The two parties sang in harmony, and the emperor also expressed his views one by one to show that there was a relationship: first, he ordered the new secretary Ling Xun Yue to accept the books presented by each family, and also ordered Cui Lie, his secretary Ling Xun Yue, and Lantai Ling Shi Caiyong and others participated in the compilation of Han Ji and Huang Lan.
This was the first small-scale book donation campaign. Although its quality and quantity did not meet the emperor's requirements, the emperor believed that once this example started, there would be a second and third large-scale book donation in the future. Book search campaign.
Shortly after Gaishun and others completely defeated the rebels and bandits in various places, and Wang Yi led people to search and confiscate the property and properties of various houses, the Hedong Supervisor and Guardsman Yang Pei, who was in charge of the interrogation, and the Huangmen Minister Guanqiu Xing jointly signed a petition Fan Xian, Cheng Yin and other masters and subordinates were formally sentenced to crimes. These people were all fined and confiscated, and either died or were exiled. However, Wei Gu and Wei Gu did not really participate because they surrendered in time and confessed. He rebelled, so he was treated leniently, and only Wei was coveted, and Wei Gu was demoted to a commoner.
After roughly resolving the chaos in Hedong and stabilizing the situation, the emperor began to consider another issue, which was the primary and secondary relationship between the Xiongnu and Yuan Shao.
