Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian suddenly felt that he was a little redundant and had nowhere to go!

This is really a somewhat frustrating thing.

The reason is this...

"You really don't need to bring this..." Fei Qian picked from the small mountain of items, "What is this?" ha? Sweating? Then what? What is this piece for? Are you also sweating? So what's the difference between the two... No, isn't it normal to sweat in the military? Why do you still bring this? 』

"I didn't bring it for you...go away, don't block me..." Huang Yueying snatched the two sweat towels from Fei Qian's hands, "it's so far to go to Yinshan Mountain. It must be hard on the road. Will you?" If you sweat, why not prepare a few extra sweat towels? 』

After Huang Yueying learned that Fei Qian was going to take Fei Zhen to Yinshan, her mother's nature began to show. Before she and Fei Qian were familiar with each other for a few days, she abandoned Fei Qian and devoted herself to preparing various items for Fei Zhen. Among the huge projects...

Pooh!

Fei Qian will not admit that what is medicine residue...

"No...I said..." Fei Qian tried to reason with Huang Yueying, "In this army, there are rules for marching. It's not like going on an outing...Besides, Zhen'er went to Yinshan Mountain for training. You There's no point in bringing him something... These, these are..."

"Ahhhhh!" You put it down! Huang Yueying put her hands on her hips, like a lioness protecting her cub, "This is for my son!" You put it down! 』

"What is your son?" Fei Qian was angry and funny, "Is there any difference?" 』

"Yes, I have! Huang Yueying said matter-of-factly, "Have you ever fed Zhen'er once since he was born?" Have you given him a bath? Have you ever changed his clothes? Is there any? So of course you think you don’t need this or that! He only has me as a mother to prepare these things for him. If I don't prepare these things for him, will you prepare these for him? 』

"Uh...this..."

Fei Qian suddenly felt that what Huang Yueying said seemed to make sense.

alright, you win.

Fei Qian came out of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back in frustration. Anyway, looking at the situation now, it doesn't make sense. He can only let Huang Yueying do it first. When the time comes to set off, what arrangements will be made? Fei Qian has the final say.

Fei Qian comforted himself, and then did not plan to go to Cai Yan. After all, Cai Yan was raising a baby and was lazy on weekdays. Even if he saw Fei Qian, he would inevitably fall asleep after a while, and Fei Qian couldn't help. If you go and cause trouble, it's better not to bother.

As for the previous concubine...

Long dead.

It's not Huang Yueying's fault, but that she was ill and was not cured.

There was no medical clinic at that time.

In the Han Dynasty, when a serious cold could kill someone, there were too many diseases that could kill a woman from a branch of the gentry who was not very healthy to begin with.

So Fei Qian was just wandering around, there was no place to go, not to mention the political hall, where he would not be lazy anymore, so in the end Fei Qian could only find his old friend behind his back, and transferred to Pang Tong's place.

ah? You ask the young carrot and pig brother?

Brother Zhu is leaving for Hanzhong...

"Hahaha……"

When Pang Tong heard about Fei Qian's experience, not only did he not have any words of sympathy, but he staggered with laughter and almost rolled on the mat.

Fei Qian blew his beard, and then couldn't help but laugh with Pang Tong.

After laughing for a while, the two people sat down, asked someone to bring tea sets, and drank tea while chatting.

For Fei Qian and Pang Tong, it is completely normal for them to talk about government affairs after a few chats. Even because Fei Qian and Pang Tong have a special relationship, they can discuss some profound and sensitive topics with each other...

Ahem, of course it’s a political topic.

Fei Qian and Pang Tong talked about the appointment of officials from the previous Lotus Spoon, and then from the official promotion system to the current political system of the Han Dynasty...

The more the topic gets louder, the wider the scope becomes.

Different from the brothers in Kyoto in later generations, Fei Qian and Pang Tong are not just talking about it at this moment, but they actually have the ability to gradually turn these ordinary words into reality. It is not like magic. As long as the holy light falls from the sky and is 3D printed by laser, it can be gradually pushed in this direction.

The core political contradiction of the feudal upper class was often the struggle for imperial power and prime ministerial power. It manifests itself in many forms. The most prominent interest point is undoubtedly the control of land and population.

This kind of competition between imperial power and prime minister power is difficult to reconcile, not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in the entire feudal dynasty. And the fierce struggle that broke out recently among the two Emperors of Hengling seemed to be right in front of them...

"Shi Yuan, have you noticed that sometimes, local nobles are actually more opposed to eunuchs taking power, but for relatives... they don't seem to be so..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "It's just like filial piety and filial piety. During the reign of Emperor Liang, General Liang had great power in both the government and the public. The officials who took office had to worship the Liang Mansion before they could take office. It seemed... haha, and then when the five princes came to invade the country and invaded the country, it was the same, and everything was boiling... …』

Fei Qian suddenly thought of someone and smiled crookedly.

"Oh...nothing else, it's because the Liang family was in the dynasty to take over the imperial power, and the five princes in the dynasty were to move the country... In addition, the Liang family was also a noble family, and eunuchs... hum..." Pang Tong snorted, Said, "These short-sighted people... It is these silverfish in the Han world today that are ruining the country!" 』

The horizons are different, and naturally the things we see are also different.

For ordinary Han officials, one-third of an acre is the limit of what they can see. But for people like Pang Tong who have followed Fei Qian for a while, they are not familiar with the cute world that Fei Qian depicts. I was very curious, so naturally I deeply hated the original official system of these big men who did nothing but hinder themselves.

Of course, the most important thing is that everything before has proved that what Fei Qian said is correct. From the Northern Xinjiang to the Western Regions, from people's livelihood to the economy, Fei Qian proved himself bit by bit, and also impressed Pang Tong and the others...

The fight between relatives and eunuchs also exposed the inherent shortcomings of the Han family's world system.

The world belongs to the Liu family and has nothing to do with a certain person!

Most of the relatives are also selected from the noble clan and are considered members of the circle, but the eunuchs are not. They are despicable people and disabled people. How can you allow such despicable seeds to creep into your head? !

Therefore, from this aspect, it is not difficult to understand the reason why the nobles are more tolerant towards their relatives.

Fei Qian held the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said: "When drinking water, think about the source, and when serving as an official, think about politics... Nowadays, there are still many people who think that three generations of Juetian Yin are too few, and they wish they could last for thousands of years... Haha, it's a pity that I don't want to." Think about it, if this is really the case, it will be just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the world was divided, the people were devastated, and the country of China was in flames of war that would never end! What else will happen then? ? 』

Pang Tong nodded and said, "It is sufficient to have Yin for three generations!" Not to mention other things, if the descendants are all incompetent, especially if they are rich and noble, wouldn't it be better for the children to cherish their treasures and walk in the busy city? How foolish..."

After being an official for a long time, you will always have the illusion that your official position is your own, and then you start to prepare to pass your official position to your descendants, but you forget that you originally How hard did it take to get such a position, and if my naughty child has not experienced this, how can he do it well and sit securely?

Then the final result is often that the family is destroyed, and many people are dragged into hell together.

Fei Qian smiled and said, "So I asked You Ruo to go to the academy to teach courses for becoming an official..."

Pang Tong laughed twice and said: "I heard that every time Youruo starts a class, students gather together and can't even put down their cases, so they can only sit together... This feeling of asking for an official position... tsk tsk..."

"Well, how can Shiyuan say that..." Fei Qian waved his hand, "This is because Youruo teaches well..."

"Ah, exactly, exactly... someone made a mistake..."

Pang Tong nodded in agreement, and then laughed together with Fei Qian.

Although Fei Qian said that he is not in Pingyang now, he has not relaxed about Shoushan Academy. To change some existing things, of course, we must start from the source, and at least 70% to 80% of the officials of the Han Dynasty will come from the descendants of the gentry. , that is, these people who are equivalent to those in Shoushan Academy will gradually become Feiqian's reserve officials. Naturally, they cannot relax their ideological education...

However, Xun Chen alone said that it was still somewhat weak. Fei Qian also wanted to organize a tour group later, and then give Pang Tong and others a chance to show off...

Of course, Fei Qian is concerned about the aspect of the Academy. In addition to the issue of talent echelon, there is another aspect to consider, which is the control of public opinion.

How can you let the media, er, public opinion, fall into the hands of the enemy?

This is almost the most taboo thing for a ruler.

At the time of Heng Ling, among the Imperial Colleges in Luoyang, these Imperial College students who did not have to bear the huge pressure of examinations in later generations and had a lot of free time became an important public opinion support for the noble officials. They began to call upon bureaucratic families and local famous families. , relying on the intertwined relationships of in-laws, family friends, disciples and old officials among various families to form a public opinion network, and then through the remote control of the leaders of the "Student Union", thousands, even tens of thousands, of low-level students were transformed into The power of public opinion used by private individuals.

At that time, more than 30,000 Taipei students, with Jia Biao and Guo Tai as the leaders of the Luoyang Student Union, began to develop self-created ideologies under "certain instructions", and then proclaimed themselves officials, such as some "model for the world" , Li Yuanli; not afraid of force, Chen Zhongju; handsome in the world, Wang Shumao" and so on...

Worry about the province, worry about the ministry, worry about the country... uh, that's wrong, it's a handsome model, a handsome man, a handsome man. These were originally titles that should be awarded in court for commendation, but instead they became names for private transactions.

Then there are more and more, extremely powerful, even particularly loud, and full of foreign style, such as Shi Te, Shi Si, Su... Well, some other names came into being.

It should have been a standard strictly specified by the country, but now a few people with the name of "such and such" association can openly lower it and then grant it privately...

After everyone gathered together to praise each other, there were all kinds of super-standard "Qingliu celebrities, emperors and superstars" that were booming in various places, each with the names of "Three Lords", "Eight Masters", "Eight Masters", "Eight Masters", "Eight Masters", "Eight Chefs" is the number and so on...

By creating their own names and honorifics, the members of Luoyang's "Student Union" and these officials began to communicate with each other. When the number of people increased to an order of magnitude, brainwashing and control would become easier. , it is natural to do some so-called "voluntary" things that follow the crowd.

We all have to participate in the demonstration. Are you embarrassed if you don’t go?

We all need to collectively sign a letter. What does it mean if you don't sign?

Everyone said that this person is very good. What do you mean if you don't say it?

Anyway, everything is what everyone wants. If you don’t do this, do you want to go against public opinion? Or do you want to become a traitor to the people?

Doesn't all this feel familiar?

Emperor Heng Ling, he was obviously tricked...

So there is nothing new in history. In fact, all the routines have been demonstrated many times by our ancestors. If you still can't remember it, then naturally you should be beaten.

After talking about this, Fei Qian and Pang Tong turned to some interesting gossip.

"In the past, the impeachment of the five princes failed, so they retreated in order to advance. First, natural disasters were used to avoid the three princes, and then there were abnormalities in various places, and the sky fires frequently fell! Pang Tong laughed a few times and said angrily, "In the year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, isn't it the same?" In order to pursue their own selfish desires, they have no regard for the world, pretending to be saints and sages, and doing dirty things! 』

Although Pang Tong was also from a noble family, he still looked down upon the actions of some people.

Externally, he is incompetent and cedes territory, but internally he is tough and stirs up trouble.

True ignition.

Fei Qian also clasped his fingers and said with a smile: "In the fourth year of Yanxi, in the first month, the Nangong Jiade Palace and the Bing Department were on fire one after another. In the second month of Renchen, the arsenal was on fire again. But in the fifth and fifth months, it was announced that there was an alien star. On Dingmao Day, the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu caught fire... It was a fire everywhere..."

"In the fifth year, in the first month, there was another fire in the Bing Department of Nangong, a fire in the east gate of Emperor An's Gongling Mausoleum, a fire in Hubenye Gate..." Pang Tong snorted twice, "In the fifth month, there was a fire in Kangling Garden, and there was a fire in the Zhongzang Prefecture's Tenure and Remuneration Department..." 』

Fei Qian and Pang Tong looked at each other, then shook their heads and laughed.

Can't we really be creative?

These officials are so lazy that they don't want to use their brains even if they are trying to cause trouble.

Earthquakes? This naturally falls under the category of natural disasters. Of course, this refers to real earthquakes, not earthquakes that just exist in memorials and are simply reported, haha...

It's like the braided Chao Dynasty in later generations was relatively easy to play. Not only were there earthquakes and landslides that were mentioned in the memorials, but there were also some droughts and floods that were only mentioned in the written reports. Mixed in, at least it seemed, somewhat Like some things, not only tax reductions and exemptions, but also some disaster relief funds can be spent on the difference.

As for this simple fire, to be honest, the range of operations here is too easy...

It's just a fake look.

What's more, the site of the Imperial Tomb has always been a focus of fire prevention. If it's so easy to catch fire, then what are the patrolling soldiers doing?

Therefore, the officials of the Han Dynasty are still relatively straightforward...

Then the emperor became more upright. When faced with such a problem, he actually sent someone to ask the representatives of the Three Dukes, how did you become the leader of a hundred officials? What is your intention in doing this?

Did you ask that?

The second most difficult thing in the world is to talk about theories and principles with scholars. What's more, someone who has no education and was even deliberately selected wants to argue with these knowledgeable people?

Then it won't be sprayed out?

The more capable the ruler is, the less likely the inferiors will dare to mess around.

Previously, Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty was killed by the general Liang Ji because of Emperor Zhi of Han Dynasty, and then he deliberately chose a fool from the royal family. As for King Qinghe, who has a reputation as a wise man, I'm sorry, but he does not meet the emperor's selection criteria. …

Then it turned out that Emperor Heng also had no children, and then everyone murmured and chose another Han Ling Emperor...

Look, what a democratic result.

To be honest, neither of the two emperors of Hengling had received systematic education, not even ordinary higher education. They might have originally planned to be free princes for the rest of their lives, side branches of the royal family whose only business was to eat, sleep, sleep and eat. After the disciples suddenly ascend to a high position, they will naturally be unable to deal with those nobles who secretly change their concepts and occupy the moral high ground.

So when the two emperors discovered that the nobles were traveling around, it was called "study travel experience", and then they wanted to go out of the palace to have fun, which was "not doing their job", so the nobles gathered a room full of singers and dancers, called " "Balance of yin and yang", and then they find a few more palace maids, which is "addicted to women". The nobles appoint their own disciples as officials, which is called "appointing talents", and then they appoint a few of their own people, which is called "partial faith and treachery" 』……

The serious roads were blocked by the nobles, and then the emperor naturally started to mess around.

Later, these nobles were confused by the emperor who did not follow common sense, and they also started to mess around...

In the end, it became the most absurd farce of the Han Dynasty.

In the feudal dynasty, the most important thing is to maintain the strictness of class. As long as there is a channel for class promotion, the system can be stabilized. As a result, the emperor crossed the line, the ministers crossed the line, and even the lowest government reserve officials and Taixue students It has also crossed the line. Can this dynasty still have good results?

Therefore, formulating the boundaries between officials and what officials at a certain level should and should not do has become a huge project...

At least for Pang Tong, that's the case.

"Shi Yuan hasn't finished it yet..." Fei Qian blinked a few times, "I thought you had already written it in general and were just polishing some details..."

Pang Tong cried sadly, "I have the great trust of my lord... But this matter is indeed difficult to handle. The responsibilities of county officials are also different. If they are not divided properly, problems will inevitably arise..."

"Hmm... Hi, why didn't you tell me earlier..." Fei Qian chuckled a few times, "This matter may be difficult to say, but there are ways to do it that are not difficult..."

"My lord, please speak!" Pang Yi said with an expectant look on his face.

"It's been three years since we implemented the above plan, right?" Fei Qian said slowly, "In the past three years, haven't all the counties and counties in various places said that they have done those things?" 』

Pang Tong slowly opened his eyes, "My lord, what I mean is..."

Fei Qian laughed, "That's what I mean..."

Pang Tong immediately got up, laughed and walked out, "How wonderful!" How wonderful! Let’s do it now! 』

"Uh...wait..." Fei Qian watched Pang Tong disappear at the courtyard gate, and suddenly realized that he was not at his own home, but at Pang Tong's. Now that Pang Tong, the master, was gone, he, the guest, would continue There seems to be no point in waiting...

Then in this way, it seems, seems, probably...

Don’t you have anywhere to go?
