Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2501 Change step

  When Lu Hong in Yecheng was eyeing Xiahou.

  In Chang'an, a car staggered away from the Senate.

   Wei Duan in the car opened some car curtains slightly, looked at the pedestrians on both sides of the street, and sighed slightly.

  The Qinglong Temple debate has begun.

  It's a pity that I can't go.

  Autumn is crisp and crisp, which is a good weather.

  It's a pity that I don't have a good mood.

Many scholars, including Wei Duan himself, have a very complicated feeling about Qinglong Temple's great theory, as if he has become a fish, being carried forward in the torrent of history, Instead of thinking that I was standing on the cusp of the storm and guiding the direction of history like when I was young.

   Wrapped.

  Naturally, I can't help myself.

Just like Wei Duan these days, although he said he really wanted to spare some time to go to Qinglong Temple, at least to brush his face, otherwise the guys from Qinglong Temple might forget about Wei Shi in Guanzhong, but he was helpless, he didn't have time, He was very busy.

   Wei Duan couldn't remember how many times he had encountered such a situation.

   This time, it was still the order issued by the general of the hussars, the "San Lv" of the Senate. Others are envious, but I am in pain. At the same time, I still cannot let go, dare not let go, unwilling to let go, so it is even more painful.

   Mainly because of tiredness.

  Following the Hussar General Fei Qian, it seems that I have been so tired all the time...

   Probably still that word, involuntarily coerced.

  Being an official is hard work...

  At least it is much harder than the previous big man.

  But let Wei Duan put it down completely, saying that Wei Duan can't do it if he doesn't bow down for "five buckets of rice", because this is not just a problem of "five buckets of rice", it is the old and young of the Wei family!

The situation in Yingchuan was ups and downs, some people gloated at other people's misfortunes, some people were sad when they died, but Wei Duan wanted to scold his mother, of course not the General Hussars, after all he didn't dare, he wanted to scold the Yingchuan gang Mother, if he could really scold them face to face, he would definitely not let everyone off, and it would be considered as some resentment if he scolded each other in turn.

  General Hushi asked the Senate to use the Yingchuan incident as a case study to study why such a situation occurred in Yingchuan official circles, and then analyze the entire cause, process, and predict the follow-up results...

  How does this **** old man know? ! When Wei Duan heard this command for the first time, he was stupefied, and the slander in his stomach was rolling, but there was only one word left on his lips, "Wei! 』

  Because he knows that if he doesn’t agree, someone will agree…

  After a period of running-in, Wei Duan has fully adapted to the shape, er, specification, um, style of the Hussar General. In short, it is the post A and B system. For a position, if A is in charge, there must be B as a deputy watching, and B also has a deputy. If there is something that A can't do, B will take over, B can't do it, C will take over, and so on.

So there are always people who are willing to join, and it’s not just a line, or even a cross line, such as the county magistrate and the bachelor of agriculture, the county magistrate and the bachelor of engineering, the county lieutenant and the inspector, almost completely can be exchanged directly, without any doubts. If there is any problem, it has been proven not only in Guanzhong, but also in Longxi and Longyou.

  At the same time, in the Senate, it is not A and B, but A, B, B, B, C, C, C, C, C...

  Everyone is staring at themselves.

   Wei Duan can only relax a little bit after returning home to relax his mood.

   But unfortunately, as soon as he got home, he heard the housekeeper come in and report that the young master had returned.

  『What came back? 』

  『Young Master is back. 』

   Wei Duan suddenly felt heartbroken. If he had cardiovascular disease, he might have collapsed on the spot. After a few breaths, Wei Duan said, "Let him come to see me!" 』

   Didn't he tell Wei Kang to stay in Longxi well, but unexpectedly, not long after the letter was sent, this **** came back by himself!

  What trick is this going to do? !

   After a while, Wei Kang arrived, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and went into the hall to meet him.

   Wei Kang has a handsome appearance and a slender figure, but he has a good skin. After all, it is not a matter of one generation or two for the children of the gentry to improve their genes. It is normal to have a good appearance.

   Wei Duan arranged for Wei Kang to arrange Longxi, in fact, painstakingly.

Although the position in Longxi is not high-ranking, but in many matters, you can get in touch with the latest ideas and policies of the Hushi General. If the "education" and "pacification" policies in Longyou in Longxi can be implemented smoothly this time , then these local officials in Longyou and Longxi are likely to be transferred to larger places to implement the New Deal!

   And after the New Deal has been implemented at the prefecture level, the next step is to easily become Sanhuai!

   These are all linked together, but Wei Kang didn't seem to understand Wei Duan's painstaking efforts, Wei Kang only felt half of it, bitterness.

"Come in! sit…"

   Wei Duan glanced at Wei Kang and was silent for a while. He felt that he might need to communicate with Wei Kang in a different way. Because he had already listed the advantages and disadvantages in the letter before, but Wei Kang still came back. Now if you ask Wei Kang why he came back, Wei Kang will definitely tell his reasons, and this reason must be very sufficient and very necessary in Wei Kang's view, and then Wei Kang and Wei Kang may become disputes. Is the nonsensical reason correct...

  And Wei Duan was already very tired, he didn't want to do this, and he didn't have extra energy.

  『Yingchuan...』 Wei Duan said slowly, 『Have you ever heard about Yingchuan? 』

Wei Kang was taken aback for a moment, then he suddenly felt that his body was much more lively, and he spoke quickly, "My son heard about it, I heard that this time Yingchuan had a big incident, Prime Minister Cao killed many scholars in Yingchuan, it is said that he killed Shang Thousands of people are bleeding like rivers! 』

  『Well,』 Wei Duan nodded, 『Some people in Yingchuan did die, but...do you know the reason? 』

  『I heard that... Cao Mengde is eliminating dissidents? Someone objected to his appointment as prime minister before? ’ Wei Kang said.

"Ok. perhaps. ”Wei Duan nodded again, and then added, “But according to the news my father received...in fact, some officials were acting positively and viciously against the common people, and then Prime Minister Cao was furious and ransacked the house...and the dead are actually not Many, not to mention extermination of the clan, just controlled within one household, um, at most it is only a few families, not even one clan... What do you think after hearing such things? 』

   Wei Kang clicked his tongue in his heart. Although he knows that it is necessary to think about one thing, and he can also gain growth from it, but thinking requires brains, and he doesn't need to think about anything when eating, drinking, having fun, isn't it good?

   But he had to answer his father's question, so Wei Kang still got rid of his own careful thinking, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's hard to tell whether this news is true or false? 』

  『It’s not difficult to distinguish, but someone deliberately adulterated the truth! ”Wei Duan said in a deep voice. Because of the need to discuss the Yingchuan incident, Wei Duan of course also obtained relevant specific information, and among those specific matters, Wei Duan naturally saw shocking things, even if he was prepared in his heart, but still Grinning his teeth, his heart skipped a beat.

  It was only then that I realized why General Hushi wanted to study the Yingchuan incident as a case study.

   Indeed it is…

   Corruption harms the country, treacherous ministers harm the country, mediocre people harm the country.

   And it's very typical.

However, the Yingchuan incident was really involved too much. Wei Duan thought hard in the Senate, and then intrigued with the people in the Senate. He even felt that he was the Prime Minister Cao in Yingchuan, because he also wanted to Faced with a lot of officials of the Senate and Law Institute who have different ideas, but what is not as good as Prime Minister Cao is that he himself cannot kill people, he can only punish...

  Finally, Wei Duan integrated the opinions of the Senate, made a mediocre memorial, and handed it in.

   Yes, a more moderate solution.

In the Senate, there are generally three different directions of opinion. One is more radical, which means that those corrupt and mediocre officials will be severely dealt with. The most is the faction that sits on the fence, um, the faction of the mean.

   Wei Duan likes to climb over the wall to be Lao Wei. Wrong, he prefers the mean.

  This is also the choice of most people.

What's interesting is that most of the young and low-ranking officials choose to be radical. On the contrary, the old ones, or before, um, for example, those under Yuan Shao, chose to be conservative. Of course, those few It's normal for a person from Yingchuan to say a few partial words for the people in his hometown, is it understandable...

  As for other people, such as Wei Duan, they are moderate.

  Wei Duan put himself in the position of Cao Cao more than once, and then pondered what to do, and found that maybe only the middle way is the best...

   Or, the most acceptable.

   This person is part of the person.

   In other words, these "people" are scholars.

   Regarding the Yingchuan incident, most of the "people" knew what was going on.

All the things that are placed on the bright side, even if they have been carefully displayed and decorated skillfully, as long as the core is grasped, no matter how much decoration and cover-up, there will be nothing to hide, and people will still be seen There are clues.

Benefit.

   To put it in a small way, this is a small amount of small fortune, but in a big way...

  What does General Hussars think? It’s not easy to talk nonsense, but Wei Duan, as the head of the Senate, has been ups and downs for so many years. He even planned some events himself, so how could he not be clear about the mystery?

Although it seems that everything is cleverly cut off in the outer circle of Xu County, as long as you want to close the case, you can definitely close the case, and it is difficult to prove whether there is any connection within a single city, because these things are exposed The things that exist will inevitably be disrupted, and the core evidence will be subtly evaporated and lose its meaning.

   Being able to do such a thing must have a certain status in Yingchuan, and it seems appropriate for Xia Houdun to cut it across the board. On the one hand, it will shock people, and on the other hand, it is also on the line.

   It's just that Wei Kang doesn't seem to understand this point, and he even feels that this matter has little to do with him.

  "Father..." Wei Kang said kindly, "Look at Father's tired expression... why don't you take a rest first?" 』

"Sit down. ”Wei Duan said in a deep voice.

   Wei Kang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Wei. 』

  『Do you think this matter has nothing to do with you? 』Wei Duan squinted at Wei Kang, somewhat worried.

  『Boy, baby, don’t dare to…』 Wei Kang didn’t dare to say what he actually thought, just said he didn’t dare.

   Wei Duan suddenly laughed, "Look, this is "Yingchuan"...what you think in your heart and what you say...this is "Yingchuan".

"what? ’ Wei Kang was taken aback for a moment.

  『Do you think Yingchuan is just a place in Yingchuan? Or that the officials in Yingchuan are only in Yingchuan? ’ Wei Duan didn’t press Wei Kang with any rationale, but sighed after a while, ‘Yingchuan is Shandong...you don’t even know how many people will be involved this time, how serious this situation is. big...'

  『You don’t mean what you say, do you think I don’t know? Then it's like the people in Yingchuan, doesn't Prime Minister Cao know? 』

"Know! of course I know! ”Wei Duan patted the table case, “Can you sit on this seat...hehe, do you think I’m a fool? It's like the people from Yingchuan think that Prime Minister Cao is a fool? But why did the people from Yingchuan do this? And then...why would you do that? 』

   Wei Kang's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

   Wei Duan pointed to Wei Kang's nose, tapped twice, then put down his hand and sighed, "Because you are my son. Right? He is the heir, he is going to inherit the family business, he is the follow-up successor of Webster, so you think I dare not kill you, even if you don't want to listen to me, you have confidence! Fang is fearless! 』

"No no... Father... my son, how dare I..." Wei Kang was startled, and hurriedly left the table to worship, kowtowed and apologized, "The child is just... just... it's just that it's getting colder now, and I know that if my father's legs and feet are cold It’s just that it’s inconvenient because of the lack of blood, so I brought some furs and specially dedicated them to my father…”

  『So I also want to thank you for your filial piety? Wei Duan laughed and said, "Yes, this is a reason, but if you think about it, is this really a reason?" 』

  『Boy...uh, baby, don't dare...」Wei Kang couldn't answer.

  Wei Duan smiled, "So, you said you didn't dare, but you still did it..."

   Wei Duan stood up, he wanted to take back the memorial that he handed in before, the conclusion that seemed somewhat moderate. Because he suddenly discovered that his son Wei Kang had fully demonstrated the status of Yingchuan nobles, and his previous memorial was obviously not good enough, or rather perfunctory.

  But Wei Duan must solve his son's problem first.

   Well, of course not to kill him, after all, just like what Wei Duan himself said, Wei Kang is now the heir...

  『Come, come,』 Wei Duan walked to the front of the hall, and looked at the withered trees in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, "Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the cycle of the world, you and I cannot stop it. But some things can be changed... For example, if you move the trees to the south, the trees may not wither, or the leaves will fall later than in Chang'an... The same is true for people. If you are not willing to change, then someone will move you... I am here What do you do when you are old and can't protect you? Do you really think that the name of a nobleman's son can avoid punishment? Avoid life and death? 』

"However, I also want to thank you... If you hadn't come, I might not have been able to comprehend the meaning of the lord..." Wei Duan turned his head and smiled and said to Wei Kang, "I don't thank you for the fur coat that showed your filial piety. Thank you for disobeying father's orders...』

   Wei Kang didn't know how to answer, he hesitated.

  『Look at Yingchuan, think about Yingchuan. ”Wei Duan sighed, “My lord ordered the Senate to use the Yingchuan incident as a theory, to study its roots, and to find countermeasures. This is not what my lord wants to do! This is the Lord's warning! 』

  『You are confident, the people of Yingchuan were also confident at one time...』 Wei Duan looked at Wei Kang, 『But now? Relying on, relying on, those reasons, those reasons, are they really so indestructible? If the father told you, now you have gone to the position of your heir...』

   Wei Kang was terrified, his eyes widened, not only his voice, but also his hands trembled a little, "Father... my lord father! 』

   "Look," Wei Duan laughed, "Didn't you not be afraid when you went back to Chang'an? 』

  『This…』 Wei Kang was speechless.

   Now, the whole line is very clear.

The reason why Wei Kang dared to disobey his instructions and not take his letters seriously was to find a "reason". Perhaps he knew that this "reason" was not a serious reason, but he could do what he did in a grand manner. What he wants to do is not because he doesn't know whether it is good or bad, but because he doesn't feel that he will be hurt by it, so naturally he won't be afraid.

  The same is true for the Yingchuan scholars. They don't think they will be wiped out by Cao Cao, so they are not afraid.

   Then Wei Duan felt that his memorial was perfect, so he didn’t think he would be reprimanded by the Hussar General, so Wei Duan wasn’t afraid before…

   But now Wei Kang is afraid. He was afraid that Wei Duan would really relinquish his heir status. In a big man who puts loyalty and filial piety first, parents really have the right to sever the relationship between father and son!

  Then the children of Yingchuan were also afraid. The children of the Yingchuan gentry found out that Cao Cao was really doing it, not scaring people!

  Wei Duan was also afraid, because he found that he couldn't even unify his own son, so how could he unify the opinions of the Senate? It can't be said that someone has already sneakily sent a badge to Hussar in an attempt to replace him!

  『Anyone can do superficial writing,' Wei Duan patted Wei Kang on the shoulder, 'but superficial writing is too easy...I'm going back to the Senate, and you...stay at home? 』

   Wei Kang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Boy, baby, let's set off immediately and return to Longxi!" 』

   Wei Duan nodded.

  『People, after all, you have to be in awe...' Wei Duan said slowly, 'Whether it's in awe of heaven and earth, gods, or...』

  『If you don’t have awe at all, you won’t be afraid of anything…』

  『It’s very troublesome...』
