The news came back and the atmosphere became tense immediately.
When the governor inspected the counties and counties, conflicts were inevitable, and everyone was mentally prepared. However, the matter in Pingyuan County was a bit complicated, not only involved royal relatives, but also immigrants from the Bohai Sea, but also involved General Yang Feng of the Left.
If this matter is not handled well or a convention is formed, the troops stationed in various places will follow suit, actively participate in local affairs intentionally or unintentionally, and may even kill good people and make achievements.
In comparison, it is not that important that among the deceased, the former subordinates of Liu Bei, the General of the East.
Zhou Zhong reported this matter to Liu Xie as soon as possible.
Almost at the same time, the Taiwei Mansion also received a report from Yang Feng, and the Chief Secretary Yang Fu reported the matter to Liu Xie.
After listening to their report, Liu Xie immediately summoned Situ Yang Biao and asked him to take out Pingyuan County's plan report last year and re-examine it.
Although the plain belongs to Qingzhou, it is adjacent to Jizhou, almost under the eyes of the emperor.
Does Pingyuan County treat Bohai immigrants like this? Does it mean that there is still an imperial edict from the court?
Who is the prefect of Pingyuan and why did it disappear in the whole thing? As the prefect of a county, what role did he play in this?
These people were investigated for the appointment of the governor.
Liu Xie issued an edict, asking the Three Dukes' Mansion to send personnel to the plain to investigate thoroughly and clarify the whole thing. One investigation and the other would never be tolerated.
After listening to Liu Xie's order, Yang Biao was silent for a moment and asked a question.
There are four generals in Hebei, but there are only 20,000 people under Han Sui's troops in the Central Plains. If every governor did it like Zhen Yao, could Han Sui handle it?
Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao's eyes and chuckled.
"If the prefect of Pingyuan did not interfere, this matter might not have developed to this point. Do you think the Bohai immigration is easy to mess with? If it weren't for the prefect's mansion and General Zuo was in charge, they would have overturned those big clans long ago
.When the Yellow Turbans were in trouble, the Bohai Sea and the plains were all hard-hit areas, and the people were very brave."
Liu Xie raised his finger and knocked on the table. "This time, I will let them see what people-oriented and what soldiers are. The soldiers in the army come from the people and work hard every day, not to protect those greedy things,
Suppressing the people is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people.”
Yang Biao's back may feel a little chill and he didn't say anything for a long time.
The Chief of the Grand Marshal Yang Fu nodded slightly as if he was thinking.
——
After leaving the imperial tent, Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong walked side by side, and Yang Fu fell a little behind.
Yang Biao sighed two times in a row, but did not speak.
Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that in the end, the main responsibility is your Situ Mansion."
Yang Biao looked at Zhou Zhong with a squinting eyes. "Dutian was originally the responsibility of Situ Mansion, and I never thought of pushing it to you Sikong Mansion."
Zhou Zhong smiled even brighter. "What are you doing with sighs?"
"I am ashamed that I react too slowly and have never understood the profound meaning of the emperor." Yang Biao withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance, and sighed faintly again. "Actually, when Han Sui was preventing the autumn flood in Henan, I should have understood.
”
He turned his head and looked at Yang Fu. "Yishan, are you careless, are you?"
Yang Fu nodded awkwardly. "As Situ said, I always thought it was to justify the Liangzhou army, but I didn't expect that the emperor's deep meaning was here."
He smacked his lips. "The name of the sons and soldiers is really accurate, and it should be the best manifestation of people-oriented. Taking the people as soldiers and protecting the people's benefits. The soldiers and civilians are united, and the upper and lower desires are the same, so why can't the enemy defeat them?"
Zhou Zhong woke up from his dream and felt his face burning.
The long-standing doubts have finally been resolved.
"So that's true, it's true." Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor endured it for five or six years, and it was not until now that he made it clear. Wenxian, we are all old and we can't accept it."
"Yes, you can't accept old age." Yang Biao also smiled bitterly and shook his head. "While drawing the ground is a prison, although the body is not rotten, the heart has long been decayed."
He paused and smiled and said, "The Emperor can go further on the basis of sages and implement Mencius's people-oriented approach to the Confucian school. Taking this as the criterion and time, Confucian school will definitely
Isn’t it good to be able to flourish and 60 million people are polite and righteous people?"
Zhou Zhong looked at Yang Biao, but he stopped talking.
The future depicted by Yang Biao is indeed very good, but before such a prosperous era comes, I don’t know how many people will become sacrifices.
Moreover, Yang Biao's words imply another meaning, as if from Confucius to Mencius, from Mencius to Xunxun, and the Confucian school has been moving forward, and there is no situation where it is not as good as in the past.
Although there are differences between modern and ancient texts on the issue of ancient and modern times, the clear recognition of modern times, and the revolutionary progress really made Zhou Zhong a little uneasy.
If it was not Yang Biao who said this, but Yang Fu, he would have to shout loudly.
But it was precisely because it was Yang Biao who said this that he was even more touched.
All old ministers like Yang Biao support the emperor's ideas, and can they stop the emperor's reforms?
Duda may just be the beginning, and more reforms will follow.
Will such a prosperous era be the prosperous era we hope for?
——
Yang Biao personally rushed to the plains to thoroughly investigate the entire incident.
Things are not complicated. As Liu Xie expected, the key to this matter was Wei Tao, the prefect of Pingyuan.
Wei Tao is from Wei County and has some friendship with Shen Pei. The reason why he was able to serve as the prefect of Pingyuan was also recommended by Shen Pei to Yuan Xi. Shen Pei committed suicide and Yuan Xi was exiled. Wei Tao was dissatisfied and always wanted to find an opportunity to vent his anger for them.
Duta has always disapproved.
His family's fields were divided.
This time, he wanted to lead the matter to the relatives of the foreigners, and wanted to take advantage of the literati's disgust towards the relatives of the foreigners, and then question the emperor's intention of saving the field. Unexpectedly, the emperor would not accept his tricks at all, and sent Situ Yang Biao himself directly.
.
In front of an old minister like Yang Biao, his little tricks could not be hidden at all. Yang Biao asked him speechlessly and could only bow down and confess his guilt.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Biao carried out some rectification of the officials in Pingyuan County. Anyone who was related to Wei Tao and opposed Dutian would be dismissed. The lords were conscripted and sent to the court. He also asked the emperor to follow the Langguan and Situ Mansion.
A group of young and strong officials selected from alternate officials and officials to serve as official positions.
Sima Zhi took over as the prefect.
Sima Zhi's courtesy name is Zihua, a native of Wen, Hanoi. He was recommended by Pei Qian, Sima Yi and Dong Zhao. He served as the Neihuang Order when he was in Weijun. His methods were both hard and soft, and his performance was excellent, leaving a good impression on the emperor.
He also registered in Situ Mansion and became the top alternate official, second only to Cao Ang.
This time, he took advantage of the situation and became the prefect of Pingyuan, at the age of thirty.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Many people think that Yang Biao's move is a loss to Meng Lang.
Sima Zhi is too young and has little experience in his career. How can he jump into two thousand stones?
Soon someone introduced the so-called insider: Sima Zhi's wife is the daughter of Dong Zhao, the prefect of Hanoi. He was promoted so quickly because of Dong Zhao's recommendation.
Faced with such doubts, Yang Biao did not explain much, but ordered people to call out several officials who performed well and received super-promoted performances in Weijun, and published them in the newspaper.
As long as you have strong abilities, what is the 2,000 stones at the age of thirty?
