At this moment, in Xi Lu's mansion, the few people were some of them, or some celebrities were tall in the hall.
Not to mention, after Xi Lu played the cards, he could attract some celebrities.
If it were usual, most of these celebrities would rely on Cao Cao, but since Cao Cao had done something with Fei Qian in Guanzhong, these celebrities have become somewhat unable to enjoy it.
Do you want to beg for a low voice? You can't see that face. If you really compete with those poor children, you can't beat the other party.
The emergence of the Censorate seems to have become a new path.
Of course, perhaps on the surface, these people expressed their loyalty to the emperor and the hard-core royalists, and they definitely did not come to the Censorate...
No matter in any era, the so-called "true" royalists are very few, and it can be said that there are almost no. Even some dead "royalists" that Liu Xie himself thinks may not be completely "true" for Liu Xie. Sometimes it is inevitable that some of their own personal selfishness will be mixed.
As a regime, being able to control the world cannot be placing all hopes on some unspeakable "loyalty", but there should be a system that most classes are willing to abide by.
It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to form such a system. If the system of the government construction cannot achieve this effect due to various reasons, cannot maintain the situation, or other forces provide better solutions, then the government will not be far from death.
This is why most regimes can be positive in the early stages, but when the regime ends, they start to pull each other back...
Just like Liu Xie at the moment.
Xi Lu undoubtedly used the name of the royal guard to seek benefits, and most of the people in his church also came under the name of the royal guard, but they really wanted to "protect the royal guard". It cannot be said that there is no such thing as the royal guard at all, but it is really very few.
Another reason why the number of "royalists" is that the Liu family members were eliminated in the first or second round.
The royal family is usually the most hardcore royalists. Some of them will kill or abolish the existing emperors, but for the overall system, they are the absolute defenders of imperial power. Because these people have relatively weak power outside the system, imperial power is their source of power.
Even if these royal families have ambitions and want to oust Liu Xie, they will probably not do things until they have completely taken control of the country.
As Xun Yu, he personally tends to be a royal, but his royalty is not necessarily a person who protects Liu Xie. At the same time, the Xun family is not a royalty. After all, the gentry system is born, and it is completely inclined to benefit at the political level. Whoever gives more benefits will turn to that side.
Therefore, when Cao Pi finally bribed the gentry in history, the last trace of royal power of the Han Dynasty disappeared, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed.
Now, these people gather at Xi Lu, but it is really hard to say how much power they really can reach Liu Xie. And speaking of this, most of these people are not able to get many positions on Cao Cao's side, or that getting a position cannot satisfy their desires. So when they turn around, they can see that a guy like Xi Lu can actually get such a high position with the title of Royal Guard. So why can't I protect myself?
The situation in the world is different after all.
Although Cao Cao was the prime minister in charge, no one could easily move him, but his reputation was not as prominent as in history. You should know that before the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao's reputation was so great that he was just a letter of hunting war that scared the group of people in Jiangdong so much that he couldn't hold back his urine...
Now...
Therefore, these people think that it is not too big a problem to be on Xi Lu's side, and to see the opportunity and jump back when it comes to a certain time.
Change jobs?
Who can't?
As for why these people gathered in Xi Lu, it is naturally because Xi Lu has done a lot of things to show his face these days. Originally, Xi Lu impeached Kong Rong, and everyone thought that this matter would not be done. They were all waiting to see Xi Lu being criticized and rejected by the emperor or Cao Cao, but they didn't expect that Xi Lu was actually doing it well!
Although the officials sent by Xi Lu were beaten up in Lu State, this is not a big deal. Nowadays, officials in the central court may not be very good at all when they arrive at the local area. Even those who are ministers who are close ministers around the emperor are killed by local princes, and there is no such thing as nothing. Therefore, the officials in the Censorate were beaten up. What is it?
The key is, the benefits...
How many benefits can this matter get!
It's like Confucius' position as a saint.
Confucius' entry into the position of saint does not depend on whether this matter is right or wrong, but because it has "benefits".
The Confucian children of later feudal dynasties must speak of Confucius. But in the Han Dynasty, most of the children of the gentry did not very recognize the concept of Confucius and Mencius. There is this statement, but most people do not agree with it. Therefore, in the great treatise of Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, when Fei Qian proposed the argument that Confucius and Mencius were humans rather than saints, he did not cause chaos in the world.
Some people rumored that Emperor Wu of Han was conferred saints on Confucius, but in fact, in the mind of Emperor Wu of Han, Confucian children were just tools. After going to the toilet, they would throw away whatever they should be washed. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han was very dissatisfied with his son's praise of Confucianism. The one who truly named Confucius was Emperor Ping of Han.
Emperor Ping of Han was the first emperor to give Confucius a title, and he was named "Bao Cheng Xuanni Duke", and he was not a saint. The reason why he was named Duke, not the marquis in the Han Dynasty's title system was because this was just a pure honorary title. It was not until Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he was re-entered as "Bao Cheng Hou", and worshipped his incense with his fief of 800 households, which is the current free capital of a large group of Kong Rong and Kong's family.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that in order to appease the hearts of the Han people, the Hu regime in the north tried its best to apply makeup to itself and enhance the status of Confucianism and Confucius. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty respectfully called Confucius "Wen Shengnifu", which was the first to add the word "Saint" to the official title. Later, Emperor Jing of Northern Zhou regarded Confucius as "Duke Zou", and at the same time, the title and fiefs of the Han Dynasty were also greatly increased.
Therefore, Confucius' "position of saints" can actually be said to be stained with the blood of countless northern Han people during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was a sweetness given by the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in order to better rule the Han people in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. If Confucius himself knew that his saints came from this, he would not know whether Confucius, who was compassionate in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was happy or unhappy?
However, looking at the Confucian children in the feudal dynasty, did everyone know about this? Obviously not, but after knowing it, they still raised Saint Confucius high. Isn’t it just to gain some benefits in this matter?
These celebrities have been held back for too long. Now that they have seen some benefits, they should hurry up, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with the heat after eating anything.
As for Xi Lu, he naturally became more and more proficient in the arts. He sat in the hall with a faint expression, especially when he abandoned brocade robes and silk, he only wore a gherkin robe, and he became more and more like a hermit. He did not have the arrogant attitude of a second-in-law in the court, but showed the style of a famous scholar and nobleman.
"Recently, I heard that the Kong clan gave the Prime Minister of Lu another sum of food and grass money! Many people have seen this with their own eyes and cannot be faked. Some people even said that this batch of food and grass money is worth 800,000 yuan!"
"Add to the previous ones... this is not one million.5 million yuan? The Kong clan is really...tsk tsk..."
"What is this? This is to prove that the Kong clan, who consumes the place and uses everything to do! Otherwise, how can he have such a fortune? It is really a world of decline, which ruins the name of Confucius!"
"But I don't know how much profit this prime minister of Lu made from it?"
"This is hard to say, but I guess I got a lot of cheap... Although it means that I have to offer it to the court, in fact, haha, how much to offer it, what is the food and consumption along the way, isn't it easy to say!"
"The Censor Taizun, how can we tolerate such dirty things, such a dirty thing, be honest and honest?"
A group of people said it was envious and jealous, and they spoke righteously and sternly, but they mostly hated that they could not participate in the incident caused by Xi Lu to gain benefits.
The important thing now is how to seize this opportunity, first, divide the money and food accumulated by the Kong clan since the second emperor of Pinghe, and second, you can also improve your status and become the cornerstone of your next job change. As for whether Kong Rong himself was wronged, is that important?
After all, everyone knows that if a new force wants to take over the changes in the situation, the best way is to step down the old forces to establish their authority. It is obviously unrealistic to go to the Censorate to anal Cao Cao. Is it still okay to stab Kong?
Moreover, the benefits that Kong's family has managed for so many years are indeed coveted. It is so easy to take out 1.5 million yuan. How many of them are there in Kong's family is really hard to help swallowing. This is another reason for this generation to be sure to do this.
If the party fights, how can you be the party if you don’t fight? How can you be the party if you don’t fight?
The best target for fighting now is Kong Rong, who seems a little weak at the moment!
When talking about what to do next, everyone looked at Xi Lu, who was smiling and silent. Some greed and desire were revealed in their eyes, just like a group of jackals eating rot...
…(⊙x⊙;)…
It is not only those in Xu County who are eager to divide the meat.
Just like in Taiyuan, there is also a group of scavengers. They don’t know how to find new land and cultivate new harvests, but they can stare at others falling down and then pounce on them to eat the remains of the dead.
Wen Cheng is such a person, although he never thinks he is a scavenger.
Wen Cheng’s favorite is a good person.
Of course, everyone likes it.
Wen Cheng believes that it is best to have good people all over the world, how good it would be...
Especially when Wen Cheng saw those poor good people, he would stand aside and sigh, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "Good people! Not easy! It's too difficult! Why did good people become like this? Why! What's wrong with this world?!"
When I saw someone coming up to help, I quickly praised him, "Yes, this is done right! It is to help good people! It is done right! Support! We should support my actions!"
Then I finished feeling and turned around...
Wen Cheng could wipe the tears from the corner of his mouth and leave.
At this time, if you stop Wen Cheng and ask Wen Cheng why you don’t do things to help good people, Wen Cheng will say sincerely: "Why? Why do I have to do good things? It’s not others to do good things? Why do I have to endure hardship? It’s not XXX to endure hardship? I am a person who is shameless! What? What happened to that person before? I was not familiar with that person before. How could I talk nonsense without understanding the situation? How could I help? I only understand my situation now. I am also miserable. Why didn’t anyone help me first? What’s wrong? Is there something wrong like this? What’s wrong?
So is Wen's miserable?
The old man of the Wen family is Wen Cheng's uncle. At such an old age and age, he still has to yell at the same time to find someone, ask for relationships, apologize, and bow and kowtow to others. Is it a pity?
The Wen family finally had no choice but to pay for money, cut off their flesh, and then adjusted the interest relationship between the gentry, giving many benefits. In the end, the successful public opinion was elected and took the position of Taiyuan Prefect, but was kicked off the stage before working for a short time. Is it miserable?
The old man of the Wen family was so angry that he had a stroke on the spot. He died before he survived the spring of the next year. Then he lost his position as the prefect, and the Wen family industry encountered various problems. In the end, he encountered the dumping of the cavalry. Whether it was a salt and iron smelting workshop in the mountains, they could not be opened. So many people could either sell at a low price or give up. Is it a tragic situation?
So since Wen is so miserable and there are so few good people in the world, Wen Cheng can only be a villain.
"Report him!" Wen Cheng's face was a little distorted, and his facial features seemed to be tilted and he was doing his own things. "Report him! Strike while the iron is hot! Kill him in one fell swoop!"
"Mr....Is this...Is it not difficult to report Wang? But..." Wen Cheng, who was in the hall, nodded, "If I really report it, I'm afraid, this...I'm afraid...
My confidant is really a confidant. He is loyal to Wen, but his mind is not very smart. He obviously doesn't understand the strategy proposed by Wen Cheng.
"Say something!" Wen Cheng frowned.
"Yes, yes..." the confidant whispered, "If we report this way, will we not involve ourselves..."
Wen Cheng frowned, "How could it be implicated?"
"Langjun," his confidant lowered his head, "This Wang family smuggling... Cough cough, we, yes, this..."
Wen's smuggling is also there.
And to be honest, in the border areas, even if there is no smuggling from large families, there are still smuggling from small families.
For example, the Hu people ran to the Han border in groups of three or three and found outside the village, indicating that they had a horse or two sheep, and replaced them with some copper and iron utensils and salt and tea items. Should these villagers change or not?
If it is changed, will these villagers be considered "smuggling"?
A minor sin is not considered a sin?
If it is a crime, how should these villagers be punished?
Moreover, the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry was not only Taiyuan, which bordered the Hu people, but what about the Western Regions and the Southern Xinjiang?
So, this is a small problem and a big problem.
『You idiot!』 Wen Cheng patted the table, 『Who said he wanted to report them to smuggle? Who cares about smuggling? Isn’t Hedong smuggling? How about it, isn’t it just killing an old rabbit to count? What is the crime of smuggling? What is the use of reporting smuggling?』
『Then... what the husband means...』 The confidant was stunned for a moment, 『What is that reporting?"
Wen Cheng suddenly laughed, "Haha... Wang, plotting against you!"
"Must...ah?!" The confidant suddenly widened his eyes.
Conspiracy to rebel is a great sin that is unforgivable, and the level of the crime of smuggling is completely different!
"Mr., I can't say anything about this crime of treason..." My confidant still felt that it was a bit unreliable.
Wen Cheng sneered twice and said, "Do you know that the Southern Xiongnu were in chaos a few days ago?"
The confidant nodded, "I know."
"What else is there to do if you know?" Wen Cheng stared at him, exhaled, and then explained to his confidant a little helplessly, "The civil strife of the Southern Xiongnu... If it is chaos, there must always be weapons or something? So how did those weapons come from? It fell from the sky?"
My confidant suddenly realized, "That was what Wang sold to them!"
"Idiot! Not a smuggling!" Wen Cheng couldn't help but curse. If it weren't for the absolute loyalty of this guy to Wen, Wen Cheng really wanted him to return and recreate it. He said earnestly, "It was given by Wang! So, is there any problem with the plot to rebel?"
My confidant suddenly realized again, "Mr. I am really extremely smart! I will do it now!"
"Wait! Come back!" Wen Cheng stared, "I haven't finished talking yet! Why are you anxious!"
"Yes, yes, your husband, said." The confidant nodded and bowed.
Wen Cheng looked at his confidant and thought for a long time, but finally decided to let his confidant do it. After all, he could only let him do it. It wasn't Wen Cheng who could have a trip by himself?
"For this report, please find a reliable person, find a time to post a notice in Jinyang City, and throw another one to the yamen... Be careful anyway, don't let someone catch it. Do you understand it?" Wen Cheng explained as in detail as possible, "If you are accidentally caught... do you know what to do?"
The confidant nodded and said, "I understand, I must find someone who is nervous. If you are caught... I will send someone...Crack!"
"Who? Crack you!" Wen Cheng was helpless, "You are sent, are you afraid that others can't find evidence, are you? If you are caught, you will send it in? You want to ask someone to find a refugee, find an illiterate person, and then ask the refugee to post it. Even if the refugee is caught, he can only point out the person you sent. You just need to... understand this person?"
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
"There is another thing. You can find a few good men, who are hunters, and you will see them as ordinary through mountains and forests..." Wen Cheng smiled a little, "I heard that the Wang girl was coming, and I would like to welcome her well after all..."
