Three Kingdoms

"There hasn't been any movement in the past two days? 』

"No. Nothing special has happened since the last time I went to check it out. 』

"You haven't had any contact with anyone suspicious?" 』

"No. I arrive before midnight every day and leave at dusk. 』

"strangeness……"

Ever since the captain of the Wen Division learned about Ma Gang's arrangements in Fan Cong's compound, he no longer treated Ma Gang as a reckless man. In addition, Ma Yue also clearly assigned Ma Gang to deal with him. Therefore, Naturally, Ma Gang was called during the discussion.

Ma Gang sat aside, thought for a moment and then said: "I think...if there is no movement...or maybe I am frightened..."

"This is impossible! ” The squad leader of the Youwen Division frowned and said, “We are all very careful. During the tracking process, we all keep a considerable distance apart... and we are also cautious..."

After the people from Youwensi arrived, Youwensi basically took over the tracking and surveillance work, so if Fan Cong noticed it, it would undoubtedly be the responsibility of these people from Youwensi.

Ma Gang waved his hand and continued: "I'm just saying that there is a possibility. Another possibility is that this guy has already finished his work, so there is no need to take any additional actions..."

"finished? ! "The squad leader of the Youwen Division was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "So...that means that he had contact with Hucao's Shuzuo before..."

Ma Gang clapped his hands and said: "A few days ago, when the soldiers were retired, there were a lot of household registrations to be processed!" So it’s either household registration! In addition, these veterans who have returned home also need to be given a rehabilitation center! 』

The captain of Wensi also suddenly said: "What Brother Ma said is true!" It must be a pass in the pass! 』

There are also some differences in Dahan Pass due to different regions. . If it is a general transfer, this thing does not have much technical content, just like the ID card that can be issued at that police station in later generations. It is just an auxiliary proof. In the feudal dynasty, it was often used to restrict ordinary people. It’s just that you can’t move freely.

However, in Guanzhong Sanfu, the pass was more complicated. It used special bamboo paper and was specially written with colored ink. It can be regarded as the most exquisite pass among the Han Dynasty, and of course it is more difficult to imitate. The most difficult thing is not the font used for writing, but this rather special paper...

Therefore, if Fan Cong's goal has been achieved, then the invitation to Hucao's secretary to drink before was probably just an excuse. In fact, he used this opportunity to enter Hucao, steal this kind of paper, and then forge it, or perhaps Household registration.

Relatively speaking, the possibility of household registration is relatively low. After all, household registration is the same as in later generations. It needs to be settled. Once settled, it must be verified and registered by the village. Obviously it is not as easy to use as it is a proof of identity. It is enough for general inspection.

The team leader of Wensi had a headache and said: "This will be a bit difficult... Maybe he has already entered the third assistant... The key is that there are many scholars coming from different places in Qinglong Temple. If they are mixed Can't we search them one by one? 』

Ma Gang was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Let's report it first. We should think about this matter a little slower..."

After the previous espionage incident in Tongguan, a comprehensive and secret investigation was conducted against Tongguan. The scope of the investigation covered the systems of all military officers and civilian officials in Tongguan. For every person, every official document and file, every file that might be leaked All aspects of the operation were inspected several times. On the surface, this operation only lasted for about ten days before being allowed to pass. However, Ma Gang knew that in fact, it had been secretly carried out for nearly three months.

And during this large-scale screening, Fan Cong was found...

The subsequent strategy was to keep Fan Cong open. On one side, they launched covert surveillance, and on the other side, they gradually deprived him of the possibility of accessing confidential documents through several subtle personnel adjustments. However, unexpectedly, he still bypassed the obstacles and completed the operation under the noses of Ma Gang and others. .

Maybe Ma Gang and others are also novices. Although they have war experience, have they transformed into the ability to correspond to spies...

There is no need to rush, after all, no one is born to be the reincarnation of Bond these days. With Fan Cong in front of him as a whetstone, this knife will gradually develop an edge.

The news reached Guanzhong, and Kan Ze couldn't help but rub his forehead again.

During this period of time, more and more gentry disciples have gathered in Guanzhong to carry out scripture annotations, which has also caused a lot of pressure on the superiors and subordinates of Youwen Division. Moreover, this pressure will increase with time. Wait until next year. At that time, there will definitely be more people, the scene will be more complicated, and the requirements for Youwensi will naturally be higher.

Kan Ze wondered more than once whether this was something General Hussar had planned a long time ago. He announced the annotation of scriptures a year in advance, and then took this opportunity to establish the Youwen Division, which in turn promoted the Youwen Division. growth.

Time and momentum.

This is the way of the hussar.

Sometimes Kan Ze would feel a little emotional. When it comes to Sangzi, Fei Qian is not as good as Zaozhi. When it comes to governing the people, Fei Qian is not as good as Pang Tong. When it comes to accounting, Xun You should be ranked first. But when it comes to the overall strategy and the Regarding the future layout, Kan Ze believes that Fei Qian should be number one in the world.

At first, Kan Ze thought that Youwensi was just an alias for the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, but over time he discovered that it was not the case. Especially in the case of these spies, the Youwen Division gradually took on this important responsibility, although it was somewhat immature at the beginning.

Kan Ze pondered for a moment, then picked up his pen...

First, since current paper is easily counterfeited if stolen, improvements must be made. A retrieval and verification system similar to that of a banker's flying ticket should be established, not only to distinguish on paper, but also to make counterfeiting more difficult with batch numbers and code words, and to formulate standards and train full-time secret retrieval personnel.

Second, establish a system of interconnection between residence and household registration. Let's start with the three assistants in Guanzhong and sort out the household registration and residence. Especially the household registration of scholars must be regulated from the clan and no longer rely on the clan genealogy.

Third, differentiate the transit points. Those who come to Chang'an Sanfu temporarily should be issued a temporary transit point, mark the date on it, send additional personnel to the checkpoint, write off and deal with some old transit points, and issue a new temporary transit point. Pass. Those with temporary clearance can re-issue a new clearance within three months.

Kan Ze stopped writing, looked at the form based on these three items, pondered again, changed some words that might cause ambiguity and ambiguity, then reviewed it again, and finally wrote a new one respectfully. , prepare to go to Hussar Mansion to present.

At the moment, in the Yamen of Huqi Mansion, Fei Qian was reviewing some papers while discussing some issues related to Qinglong Temple.

Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui were very enthusiastic. Although they were both very old, they were still very devoted to the current task of reviewing scripture annotations. They were there eight or nine days out of ten. At Qinglong Temple, I only had one or two days to go back to my home to rest, and the entire initial process also unfolded gradually...

In the first Qinglong Temple Forum, because the influence was relatively not very high, of course, this relatively refers to the Shandong area, many people from various schools did not have time to participate, and this time naturally It's different. In Qinglong Temple, I don't know when it started, but gradually people from some schools came from all directions, trying their best to promote their own school's ideas.

In fact, it is somewhat like a religion in a certain sense...

If there are people who are willing to believe and learn and pass on, then this school of thought will still have a future. If no one learns it, then it will naturally become useless and disappear into the dust of history.

It's like a hundred schools of thought.

Pang Tong flipped through the documents, as if chatting, and said in a casual tone: "Two days ago, someone preached in Qinglong Temple about universal love, non-aggression, and respecting the virtuous and promoting the same..."

Xun You pretended not to hear anything and still lowered his head.

Zhuge Jin, who was busy next, secretly glanced at Wang Chang, who was also attacking on one side.

"oh? Fei Qian, who was sitting at the top, smiled and said, "Who is it?" 』

"Lu Yu, Lu Zi's family..." Pang Tong finished reviewing a piece of writing and then put it aside.

"Lord..." Wang Chang trembled slightly and quickly took a step forward. As soon as he said two words, Fei Qian raised a hand and interrupted his subsequent explanation.

"Wen Shu, don't be nervous..." Fei Qian said, "Someone has heard about this... it has nothing to do with you..."

Pang Tong on the side also nodded, "Some people have preached this theory in Qinglong Temple before, but the Lu Zi family has a bigger reputation and has been used as a flaunt..."

In fact, in every dynasty and every stage, some people cry out for equal rights, equal rights, and equal rights.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the so-called freedom of war in later generations.

In the Han Dynasty, not all gentry children were extremely rich. They came in and out with groups of tall and powerful servants. Generally speaking, it still complied with the 28-year rule. The top ones were indeed so rich that they didn’t even know where to go with their money. Flowers can reflect their strong character, and many of those side branches and poor families have to work in the fields themselves like a farmer, but these side branches and poor families do not have to bear the labor and taxes of ordinary farmers.

Therefore, at present, especially at this level of productivity, the ideas of equality, freedom and equality advocated by Mozi have no social basis at all and are also unrealistic illusions. This is what Wang Mang said. So the biggest reason for failure.

The weather is divided into east, west, north and south, and the climate is different.

The geography is divided into plains and mountains, and the water and soil are different.

The characters are divided into poor and rich, and their family backgrounds are different.

Under such conditions, under the productivity of the Han Dynasty, how can the vast number of poor people, proletarians and tenants unite with just a few slogans and shouts to achieve equality in the world and freedom for everyone? Totally impossible.

Because it is easy to shout slogans, but when you put it into practice, you will find that "I really have a cow"!

Accusing others from a high moral position has always been a thing that makes people obsessed and complacent...

Those who indiscriminately use the so-called "fairness" or "equal rights" to seek their own personal gain are basically disgusting people.

Fei Qian pondered for a while, "I guess this is just the beginning..."

Pang Tong nodded slightly.

Xun You on the side said: "I second my opinion." People like this, who clearly know that something is wrong but declare it, have bad intentions... The Lu Zi family is afraid that others will take advantage of it..."

Fei Qian looked at Wang Chang and said, "Zishu, you might as well go to Lu Zi's house... Since it started with him, he should solve it." 』

"My lord, take your orders. ” Wang Chang nodded in agreement, then resigned and prepared to go find Lu Yu.

Zhuge Jin glanced at Wang Chang briefly, then lowered his head again, but heard Fei Qian say again, "By the way, Ziyu, there is something I need you to do..."

On the other side, as soon as Wang Chang passed the corner of the corridor, he met Kan Ze. The two did not talk but nodded slightly and passed each other.

Wang Chang left the Hussar General's office and found Lu Yu's temporary residence, but Lu Yu was not there...

While waiting, Wang Chang gradually tasted some different flavors.

Although Fei Qian said that this incident had no direct relationship with Wang Chang, and it was not Wang Chang's responsibility, and magnanimously said that he asked Wang Chang to come to Lu Yu instead of sending others to deliver the order, but in fact this Does one thing really have nothing to do with Wang Chang and Lu Yu?

Wang Chang looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and his thoughts couldn't help but follow the clouds.

Don't talk about fairness, there are differences between people. For example, Wang Chang and Sima Yi are about the same age. When they met, their Confucian studies were equally comparable. In the academy competitions, the two often took first and second place, beating the others. Students are left behind.

The Sima family is a common surname in Wen County, but it does not have any background of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers. The biggest one is just a prefect of a place. Moreover, Sima Fang also resigned from office and was in the opposition at that time, and did not hold a court position. Although the Taiyuan Wang family has served Sanhuaizhitang once held the power of the entire Han Dynasty for a short time. However, with the death of Wang Yun, the Wang family in Taiyuan also declined rapidly, and even the Wang Yun line was almost extinct.

Therefore, no matter in terms of personal ability or family background, the two people are actually similar, and their starting points under Qiusi are almost the same. However, after so many years, Wang Chang found that the gap between him and Sima Yi was being eliminated. enlarge……

Now Sima Yi is the minister of Dali Temple and can be regarded as one of the "Nine Ministers". Although there is no so-called hierarchical configuration under the Qiusi, most people will still measure according to this position level. Wang Chang himself is now engaged in the Shangshutai, and he is also envied by some people, but after all, he is not in a unique position, he is just an official and an assistant.

In terms of fairness, is this fair?

But that's fair.

Wang Chang couldn't help but imagine that if he followed Sima Yi's style, if Lu Yu really came to his door and wanted him to have a debate similar to the one he had with Lu Yu some time ago, leaving aside this old friend from his father's generation, even if it was Under the same conditions of friendship, would Sima Yi agree to an open debate with Lu Yu?

Um……

Wang Chang thought for a long time and sighed.

Sima Yi would not agree.

At most, Sima Yi would agree to have academic exchanges in private, but he would never come forward to debate with Lu Yu in public. This was not because Sima Yi was afraid of his own victory or defeat, but because Sima Yi himself was cautious in his words and deeds and would not act easily. to talk in front of other people.

Wang Chang couldn't help but think of the time when he and Sima Yi first met. It seemed that his Qing Lun in the restaurant caught Sima Yi's attention, and then the two got to know each other...

Wang Chang showed a slight smile.

Some things from when they were young couldn't help but come to mind. At that time, Wang Chang and Sima Yi would sometimes quarrel with each other over their understanding of some scriptures, and they would not hesitate to give the most sincere praise to each other for their progress. In that period, the two people Thinking about the time he lived and studied before becoming an official still makes Wang Chang feel very comfortable and happy.

However, after becoming an official, something seemed to have changed.

Sima Yi, who was usually taciturn and would rarely express an opinion without being asked, gradually moved ahead of Wang Chang, while Wang Chang, who was still used to commenting on some things, fell behind Sima Yi unknowingly.

Where does the difference come from?

Wang Chang didn't pay attention or even think about it before, but when he was sitting here waiting for Lu Yu, Wang Chang suddenly had some understanding.

Is Sima Yi's eloquence poor? Obviously not, but only when Sima Yi needs to show off, Sima Yi will show off his talents, just like the previous "Five Virtues" theory. Once he comes off the stage, it is almost impossible to see Sima Yi attending any public events. He was in Qing Lun or Literary Society, and he could be said to be a reclusive person on weekdays, let alone debate with Lu Yu in public in Qinglong Temple like Wang Chang.

And Wang Chang himself, in comparison...

"Alas..." Wang Chang sighed lowly.

In the debate at Qinglong Temple, Lu Yu’s words involved the Hussars General...

And he failed to be alert!

Why couldn't I be alert?

Looking back on some of Wang Chang's own arguments during this period of time, or the discussions he participated in, there was nothing wrong with Wang Chang's words and deeds. Just like Cai Cai, Fei Qian and Pang Tong both said that Wang Chang was not wrong.

But is it really right?

One thing, is it only black and white?

Yes, what Wang Chang said is not wrong, but his participation in these discussions is wrong in a sense. It is like Lu Yu was used by others to promote the so-called equality and the same rights. Like the pioneers of Wang Chang, some of Wang Chang’s previous remarks have also been exploited by people with deliberate intentions...

Be careful what you say and do!

Wang Chang couldn't help but sigh. Although he understood this principle and felt that he could do it, could he be called "cautious in words and deeds" on weekdays? If he had not served as an official, he would naturally have the freedom to make various comments, but since he is engaged in the Hussars Chancellery, his words and deeds represent the Hussars General to a certain extent!

With such a position, Wang Chang also participated in a debate where he believed that the Cavalry General should be allowed to "share the benefits and powers". Even if he was right, he won the debate, but what could he do?

This kind of thing...

Lu Yu's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Ah, I'm late, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Wang Chang stood up, walked forward, and sat down again with Lu Yu.

"Brother Shi..." Lu Yu looked at Wang Chang's expression and said, "I don't know..."

Wang Chang sighed slightly, and did not accuse Lu Yu, but said: "You and I...have fallen into the trap of a traitor..."
