Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh sadness and self-confidence
The most noteworthy thing in Shangshu Province is the personnel changes.
Qin Liang had served as both an official and the head of a government before, so he certainly understood what Cao Wei's government system was like. Perhaps due to paper and other reasons, there was little written work in daily life, and each government also lacked a complex system of checks and balances. , basically relies on human rule, and the chief has great power.
The appointment of officials is the most important part.
Therefore, Qin Liang read many documents from Shangshu Province, but the only thing he was most concerned about was that Lu Zhi was about to replace Linghu Yu as the governor of Yanzhou.
Qin Liang only found out about this arrangement when he saw the document. The Wang family had not discussed it with him before... If Qin Liang had not seen the document in the Shangshu Province and found out about it, he would probably have to wait for Lu Zhi's visit before he took office. According to established customs, When officials take office abroad, they usually come to meet with important ministers at their homes. Not long ago, Chen Tai was appointed governor of Yongzhou and also came to General Wei's Mansion.
Lu Zhi was Cao Shuang's Sima before, so he was not an enemy of the Wang family and the Qin family, and he was very famous, so it was not a big problem to be appointed governor.
But Qin Liang still speculated that Lu Zhi was re-employed probably because of Guo Huai's recommendation. Because Lu Zhi was from the Yongliang area and had worked as Guo Huai's assistant, so he had an unusual relationship with Guo Huai a long time ago.
In comparison, because of Cao Shuang, the relationship that Qin Liang and Lu Zhi established was much shallower.
So after Qin Liang left the palace, he felt depressed, mainly because of Guo Huai. However, Lu Zhi's governor had been appointed, and Qin Liang had no legitimate reason to object for the time being, and it seemed that he could not do anything.
Guo Huai, who was on horseback, stood still during the Battle of King Qin and held back Xia Houxuan. But after the incident was over, he was not only promoted, but his power also expanded. It's strange that Qin Liang is happy!
However, the relationship between these noble clans is inextricably linked, and even if Qin Liang is able to play tricks, he doesn't seem to have many good methods. Until now, Qin Liang's method is probably to rely on military merit to get to the top.
Qin Liang was sitting on the carriage, still thinking about the situation of Ruxushui.
He has personally been to Huainan, Huaibei, and Xuzhou, but only Ruxushui has not been there. He still remembers Wang Feixiao's warning when he was inspecting the terrain, which probably meant that there was the Wu army's Ruxu dock on Ruxu water, where naval troops and tourists were stationed. Riding, tell Qin Liang not to go too far south.
After thinking for a while, Qin Liang had to put it down for the time being.
In the past, Qin Liang used to go to the west gate to go to the palace, but now General Wei's mansion is in the northeast corner of Luoyang. He always used the east door to enter the palace several times. Taking this road is not far from the palace. When Cao Shuang went to the palace, he probably followed Qin Liang. It's the same route now.
When the carriage turned to the north, Qin Liang became more familiar with this section of the road. Seven years ago, when he was a servant of Cao Shuang's mansion, he walked this section of the road almost every day.
As long as you see a section of the damaged double-slope eaves and inner wall, you can quickly reach Yong'an where General Wei's mansion is located. Qin Liang remembers that in autumn, there was the fragrance of osmanthus on this road, but now it can't be smelled in April. .
The group of people arrived at the mansion soon. As soon as they got off the carriage, Rao Dashan came up to greet them and said: "Xin Chang and Du Yu have just arrived. I said that the general has not come back from the palace, but he will definitely return to the house before noon. Didn't the general also invite you?" Have you come to Yang Hu for lunch? Xin Chang is waiting for the general in the east department room."
Only then did Qin Liang remember the invitation to Yang Hu, because the Fu Gu family had hunted wild deer and sent some meat to General Wei's mansion. Qin Liang invited Yang Hu to eat game by the way, because he wanted Yang Hu to have more meat. Walk around the house.
Xin Chang and Yang Hu are relatives. Qin Liang said, "Let Xin Chang come to see me in the mansion."
Rao Dashan bowed and said: "Here."
Qin Liang went to the mansion first and saw Fu Gu, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Fu Gu said: "Du Yu is very knowledgeable and a talented man. But the last time the general held a banquet, he was still in Zhangwu County, so my old servant could not invite him."
Qin Liang nodded in response. He had never thought of this person before, but he had heard of Du Yu's father, Du Shu.
Before Guan Qiujian became the governor of Youzhou, the governor of Youzhou was Du Shu. Qin Liang knew all the people who had served as governor of a state. However, it had been a few years since Du Shu was dismissed from office, so he gradually faded out of people's sight. It was not easy for Qin Liang. Think of it.
Du Shu used to be highly regarded by Xin Pi (Xin Chang's father), but now that their sons are together, it is reasonable and not surprising.
After a while, two young men in their twenties came to the mansion to pay their respects. One of them, Xin Chang, whom Qin Liang had met before, was Xin Xianying's younger brother.
The other person should be Du Yu. When the three of them met, Du Yu called himself "Yu", as expected.
Qin Liang immediately put away his previous depression and put on a calm smile. Others should look very confident.
But in fact, Qin Liang used to be a person who was easily depressed, but he woke up later, so he rarely showed his depressed appearance in front of others. Because he found that in fact, both men and women are more willing to associate with confident people. Men are very particular. Respect for strength, and women tend to have a favorable impression of strong men. If she looks depressed and unsure of herself, women feel that this person is not easy to rely on.
Therefore, sorrow is of no use in the presence of others. It is best to digest it alone.
The outline of Du Yu's head is a bit like a winter melon, which reminds Qin Liang of Huan Fan, who has a similar shape. However, Du Yu's facial features are very regular, he is young, and his hair and skin are very good, which is better than Huan Fan's. Feeling much better.
But Du Yu seemed to be pregnant. There were two little obvious lumps on both sides of his Adam's apple. A normal Adam's apple cannot have three.
The three of them took their seats and exchanged a few words. Qin Liang just asked about Du Yu's father. Xin Chang took over and said: "Du Wubo (Du Shu) was framed, so he was dismissed from office and exiled to Zhangwu County. "
Qin Liang looked at Du Yu.
Du Yu then said: "As far as I know, when my father was the governor of Youzhou, the son of the Xianbei leader came to the city, but my father was not reported. The court punished him because of someone's frame-up."
Xin Chang immediately added: "Du Wubo offended Sima Yi when he was an official in Luoyang! There is nothing bad to say. When Yuan Kan, the minister, was still alive, he warned Du Wubo in advance and reminded him to be careful. But Du Wubo was a An upright person is indeed what Yuan Shangshu said."
Xin Chang's tone was very emotional about the Du family's affairs. Qin Liang soon understood that when Xin Chang's father was alive, he also offended Sima Yi's man Sun Zi Liu Fang and was suppressed. So Xin Chang seemed to have a certain Empathetic emotions.
Qin Liang listened carefully for a while. Both of them were saying that Du Shu was innocent, but Qin Liang suddenly asked: "Who framed Du Wubo?" After he said this, he felt that this question was ambiguous, so he changed his explanation. , "Sima Yi is in Luoyang and cannot go to Jixian to frame him. Who is responsible for this?"
Du Yu said calmly: "Who else could it be? Cheng Xi'a. He was the general who conquered the north and was stationed in Jixian at that time."
After hearing this, Qin Liang looked astonished and thought to himself: Cheng Xi is quite good at this.
Tian Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, was framed by Cheng Xi. It seems that Cheng Xi was very familiar with this kind of thing. So, Cheng Xi may have taken refuge with Sima Yi?
Sometimes the position of some people is not obvious. For example, Guo Huai took refuge with Sima Yi, but most people didn't know it. During the Battle of Shu, Cao Shuang was tricked, and only Qin Liang could determine Guo Huai's attitude.
Qin Liang himself had "pretended" to seek refuge with Master Sima, but most people in the world didn't know that.
When Qin Liang heard this, he immediately said: "The current Tingwei is Chen Ben. Lan Shi (Fu Gu) turned around and saw Chen Ben and said hello. He asked Chen Ben to pull out the previous files and recheck Du Wu at that time.
Bob’s case.”
Fu Gu cupped his hands and said, "I remember it."
Du Yu's face immediately showed joy.
At this time, Qin Liang is restricted by Wang Ling, but he is still one of the most powerful people in Luoyang. As long as it is not against the Wang family, he can almost do it. As long as Qin Liang says to re-investigate, will Chen Ben still know?
What does it mean? The implication is that it is equivalent to overturning the verdict!
Du Yu was also a young man, and he reacted very quickly. The joy on his face flashed, and he immediately said: "My father is not someone who misses his official position. It's just because my grandfather devoted his whole life to the court and was loyal. My father really doesn't want to bear the burden of anything."
crime."
Qin Liang nodded seriously and said, "I understand General Du's mood."
At this moment, Rao Dashan reported that Yang Hu was invited.
So Qin Liang stood up and walked towards the door. The three people on both sides also stood up and followed him out.
Xin Chang wouldn't care about such etiquette. Yang Hu was his relative, so it was a good thing to receive courtesy from Qin Liang. Du Yu came to plead for mercy, so naturally he wouldn't care.
After a while, Yang Hu was led by Wang Kang and walked onto the platform of the pavilion. When Yang Hu saw so many people coming to the door, he bowed very politely and bowed to everyone politely.
Yang Hu's complexion was better than that of Du Yu's, with fair and rosy skin, and a rather fairy-like temperament, but he was also a worldly person who read Confucian classics. His demeanor was elegant and easy-going, and he was actually very noble in his heart.
However, it is actually very common for scholars to often have the contradictory atmosphere of Confucianism and Taoism.
When Yang Hu and Xin Chang bowed to each other, they said, "Tai Yong was also invited to taste wild venison?"
Xin Chang turned to look at Du Yu, and said with a forced smile: "We came here because of the grievances of Yuan Kai's father, but we didn't know that there would be game at noon today."
Chief Shi Fu Gu immediately said: "It's all my fault. The meat sent was too little, only enough for three or five people, so I didn't invite Xin Taiyong and others. Next time I will ask my brothers to hunt more heads."
When Qin Liang heard this, he smiled and said: "Tai Yong (Xin Chang) and Yuan Kai (Du Yu) stay and have a taste. The venison is not enough, there are also mutton and pork."
Xin Chang smiled and said, "In that case, why not obey orders instead of being respectful?" After saying this, he glanced at Du Yu.
Du Yu said: "General Qin's hospitality is hard to refuse. Thank you very much for the invitation."
Near noon, Wang Jing also came to Di Ge, so several people had lunch together here.
There was indeed not enough venison. Fu Gu didn't send much, and Qin Liang specially asked someone to cut off a piece and send it to the inner house for Wang Lingjun and Xuanji to eat.
In fact, the population in this era was not large, and there were more game in the mountains than in later generations, and venison was not too rare. But it was game after all, and it was not something that could be eaten every day.
