New Story of Lv Bu

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, on September 14th, at the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, there were three halls in Yuzhou, Peiguo, Fengxian, and within the county government office.

There is an old saying: "Xuzhou comes first and then Xuan, but Feng County does not count the year." Xuan here refers to a person, Xuanyuan Huangdi. "Xuzhou came first and then Xuan" refers to Xuzhou already existed before Xuanyuan Huangdi. The sentence "Only Feng County does not remember the year" is even more obvious. Feng County already existed before the year, so Erfeng County could not record the year. Feng County has a long history.

The Chinese costumes originated from Yan and Huang. This inflammation refers to Emperor Yan, Huang, refers to Emperor Huang, and Emperor Yan and Huang are the ancestors of Chinese humanities. Since Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, he has ruled the world and entrusted all nations. The title of "Book of Changes" is: "Wang Guo Xianning", at this time there is no state. At the time of the emperor, Jiuzhou was founded, and Xuzhou was one of the nine states. At this time, Fengdi belonged to Xuzhou, and both belonged to the land of Dongyi.

Later, Yao used Yu to control the waters, and Jiuzhou Youtong, Feng was still the territory of Xuzhou; Yu, Xia, and Shang followed. The Zhou Dynasty merged with Xuzhou in Qingzhou; Feng was then attached to Qingzhou at this time. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it belonged to the Song Dynasty and was the capital of Song Wangyan. "Zuo Zhuan" In the twelfth year of Lu Zhuanggong, the Song Dynasty was in great chaos, and the sons of the group rushed to Xiao; Song Huan was publicly established, and Xiao Shu was named as the supporter of Xiao. In the 29th year of King Zhou Zhe, Qi, Chu, and Wei all conquered the Song Dynasty; King Song Kang fled and died in Wendi, and Fengyi belonged to Chu. Qin defeated Chu to unify the six kingdoms, divided the prefectures and counties, Fengshi was the county, under the jurisdiction of Chu county; Feng was re-administered under Sishui county. At the beginning of Gaodi's founding, Fengxian was subordinate to Peijun of Yuzhou, Guangwu Zhongxing, and Fengxian was transferred to Peiguo.

Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, where the foundation of the dynasty is located. The land is fertile and the products are rich. At the same time, the dynasty's policy of rest and people's rest in the early years of the founding of the country has prospered. After Guangwu Zhongxing, during the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of successive dynasties advised them to cultivate mulberry and develop production. The economy of Yuzhou has greatly developed. Fengxian County is located in the northeast of Yuzhou, and the gains are very large, with a population of 10,000 households and 50,000 people.

It is a pity that Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou suffered a drought this year. The people died of freezing and starvation and hundreds of thousands of people died. Those who were lucky enough to survive scattered all around. About 8,000 people fled to Feng County. At that time, Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang had just taken up the post of Yuzhou Shepherd not long ago. He was a follower, and he was well known as a competent minister. The new governor of Yuzhou, Han Sui, Han Wenyue was born as a bandit in Xiliang, and both of them are well aware of the hardships of the ordinary people. After hearing this, he immediately sent out a grain package to Fengxian to provide relief, and within ten days, he provided relief to 13,000 refugees.

"This year, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou have suffered a severe drought and no harvest of grains. After you return to your hometown, you don’t expect to have any way out. It’s better to stay in Feng County for the time being and assist the Han army in repairing the city, repairing roads, and constructing water conservancy projects. First, there is a full meal to eat, and secondly, I can save some Bingzhou silver coins. I don’t know what the monarchs will do?" Fengxian magistrate is a government official who faces 12,000 refugees with a smile on his face. . "My lord, there is such a good method, I am willing to stay!" The old people kowtowed.

"That's all right! There is just one thing. King Wen must send his troops to attack Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou. The monarchs work in Fengxian every day. Once you find any troubles, you still hope to communicate with the county government immediately. I promise everyone that as long as the news is true, there will be rewards!" Finally, the county magistrate of Fengxian gave a smile to the old man in the willow forest.

"Little elders dare not obey orders!" Seeing the old parents beg so softly, the elders immediately smashed and bowed down.

This was already five days ago. At that time, Governor Yuan Benchu ​​led an army of more than 100,000 to storm Changyi, day and night. Although Fengxian belongs to Peiguo of Yuzhou, it does not have a border with Changyi, which belongs to Yanzhou. However, Changyi is one hundred and sixty miles away from Fengxian. Qingqi travels both day and night and can be reached in two days. Changyi city is about to be broken, but King Wen's reinforcements are late. No one knows what the battle will be like.

For this reason, the county magistrate of Feng County worked hard day and night, supervising the county soldiers and young men in the city to repair the city, renovate the military equipment, and patrol day and night to inquire about the news. He was very busy. In addition, it is necessary to treat exiles, provide relief to the people, and appease the family of officials and gentry in the city. All in all, the county magistrate of Feng County was so busy these few days that he would have been exhausted if it hadn't been for the help of his two younger brothers.

Early this morning, the county magistrate of Fengxian slowly opened his eyes and stretched out very comfortably before he asked. "What time is it?" "My lord, it's 60 minutes. It's rare for adults to have a good night's sleep! These few days, adults are busy day after day, and the younger ones see it in their eyes and pain in their hearts. Seeing adults sleep comfortably, it doesn’t matter. Tell the adults to get up early." The attendants on the left and right replied with a smile.

"Oh! You guys! My county magistrate will be destroyed on you sooner or later!" Feng County magistrate scolded with a smile. He stretched again and got up and dressed under the service of the little boy. After a while, he had finished washing, got out of the bedroom, and walked a few steps slowly to the third hall. Santang is the inner hall of the county government. Every morning, he usually dines here with his second and third brothers.

Sure enough, when he came to the third hall, the third brother had been waiting in it for a long time, but the second brother had not yet arrived. "Ziping, are you here? Why don't you see Kong Ming?" He asked in surprise. The magistrate of Fengxian County had a surname of Zhuge with a single name, and he was 26 years old. The second younger brother Zhuge Liang, whose name is Kongming, is 19 years old and is now the head of Chongfeng County. The third younger brother Zhugejun, Ziping, 16 years old, is still studying. Zhuge's family was born in Yangdu County, Langya Country, Xuzhou.

His grandfather Zhugefeng, whose name was Shaoji, was a county literature because of his proficiency in Confucian classics, and his temperament was upright. Gong Yu appointed Zhuge Feng as a subordinate officer when he was the doctor of the Yushi, and recommended him to serve the Yushi. During the Yuan Dynasty, he once promoted Zhuge Feng to be a Lieutenant of Sili. He scouted and revealed that he did not evade anyone. The Jingshiren gave him a saying: "There is a lot of money between you, and you meet Zhuge." The word "Hekuo" means "words". Why didn't you see each other for a long time, because of Zhuge. "Why haven't we seen each other for a long time? It turned out to be reported by Zhugefeng!

Now that he has been prosecuted, before the matter has been clearly clarified and dealt with, as usual, it is not allowed to talk arrogantly. In this way, the phrase "Feng Zhuge" immediately spread to Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and became an anecdote in the world. This sentence finally reached the ears of the emperor, Zhugefeng is such a person, his official career can be imagined. Emperor Yuan admired his ethics and promoted him to Doctor Guanglu.

At that time, Xu Zhang was close to the emperor by virtue of his relatives and relatives. The extravagance and prostitution did not abide by the law, and his guests broke the law, and they all linked with Xu Zhang. Zhugefeng inspected and impeached Xu Zhang, preparing to play his affairs. It happened that Xu Zhang went out privately. Zhugefeng stopped the car and raised the Fujie edict Xu Zhang and said, "Get off!" He planned to arrest him. Xu Zhang was in a difficult situation and hurried away in a car, and Zhuge Feng chased him. Xu Zhang took advantage of the situation and ran into the palace gate, begging Yuan Emperor for pity, Zhuge Feng also filed Xu Zhang's lawlessness against Yuan Emperor. After all, Xu Zhang was a relative, and the Emperor Yuan had to order Zhugefeng's talisman to be taken back. This dynasty Sili Xiaowei did not hold the Fujie, it started from Zhuge Feng.

After Zhugefeng returned to the mansion, he immediately wrote to resign, saying: "Chenfeng is low-energy and timid, writing is not enough to encourage others to do good, and military is not enough to catch evil. His Majesty does not estimate whether a minister can be appointed as a Lieutenant of Si Li, and he has no performance. He also raised the position of the minister, Dr. Guanglu, his position was higher and his responsibilities became heavy, not where he should be. He was forced by age and decline, and often worried that one day he would die suddenly. There was nothing to repay the emperor’s kindness and make comments. The people of right and wrong and the officials of irony and admonition have no benefit, and they have long gained a reputation for eating for nothing. Therefore, they often hope to abandon their lives and cut off the head of the traitorous officials without waiting for the opportunity, hanging in the city, writing his crimes on the slips, so that the people of the Quartet will know The punishment for doing bad things, and then retreating and being beheaded by an axe, is really the minister's willingness. Only with commoner friends, there are still friends who share life and death, and now with the greatness of the world, there is no minister who died for morality and friendship. They all covetously covetous, protect each other's private interests, and forget about national politics. The evil and filthy atmosphere are in the sky, so catastrophes appear repeatedly, and the people are poor. This is the result of the unfaithfulness of the ministers, and the ministers really take it for granted. This is more than shameful. Those who are humane don’t want to survive and die in evil, but those who are loyal and upright who do not escape disaster are indeed for the monarch. Today, your Majesty is like the earth and the earth, there is nothing in things that cannot be accommodated. The Pai Shang Shu ordered Yao to give the Chen Feng Shu to say:'Sili reconnaissance exposes lawlessness, rewards good and punishes evil, cannot act arbitrarily, avoids the state of achieving harmony in everything, and obeys the meaning of Scripture. The head of Chen Fengton was very lucky. The minister was very angry in private, hoping to grant him leisure, and hope that his majesty will judge." Yuan Emperor did not answer.

From then on, Zhugefeng’s opinion was even less accepted by the Emperor Yuan, so he wrote a letter saying: “The minister heard that Birqi was filial but was abandoned by his father, Wu Zixu was loyal but was killed by the monarch, and Lu Yin was kindly killed by his younger brother. Shuwu (the son of Weiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period, the younger brother of Wei Chenggong, who was later killed by his brother Wei Chenggong) respected his brother but was killed by his brother. With the noble behavior of these four sons and the talent of Qu Ping, he still couldn't make himself confessed instead. Killing, aren’t these enough to show the world? If you let the ministers kill to rule the country and be punished to show the monarch, the ministers are really willing. But they are afraid that there is no benefit, but they are rejected by many evil people, so that the slanderer will succeed and be upright. The road was blocked, the loyal minister was discouraged, and the wise man blocked his mouth. This is something foolish officials fear."

Zhugefeng had an upright temperament, so he naturally wouldn't try to figure out the skills of official career. As a result, the Yuan Emperor's perception of him was bad. Since ancient times, the art of the emperor has been popular. The reason why the villains are favored by the king is because they know the king best and understand the king best, and they often have the wrong hands on the king. Zhugefeng was so strong that he immediately resigned when his request failed. From the Yuan Emperor's point of view, it was a naked threat and coercion. Therefore, the villain in the court tried to figure out what he wanted, and began to sharpen his sword to the pig and the sheep.
