Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2838 Those who can write poems

  In Dali Temple.

  Si Mayi has been very busy recently.

  In some ways, this is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing either.

  The real busyness of Dali Temple shows that the trial system for officials here in Feiqian has been formally established and has become a normal existence, rather than relying on some personnel to conduct surprise treatment.

  In Dali Temple, there seems to be a sinister force shrouding the sky all the time, even the most arrogant criminals can't help but feel timid when they come here.

   Sima Yi likes the redesigned lobby very much.

  The tall book case is placed on an intentionally heightened platform, and the legs and feet are covered with a dark blue curtain around the book case, and the tokens and gavels are placed on it.

   Dark blue and bright red are the main colors of the entire lobby. The dark blue symbolizes that the law like steel cannot be changed, and the bright red of course symbolizes blood.

  So the seat Sima Yi sat on was specially made, bright red, and matched with the tall book table, probably in the shape of a grand master's chair in later generations. The reasonable height and comfort of this kind of chair made Sima Yi not want to get off after sitting on it...

  The promotion of chairs is also slowly proceeding, just like Fei Qian's reform of the administration of officials in the Han Dynasty.

  One hair can move the whole body, which is often the case.

  It is very simple to make a chair, but with a chair, do you have to raise the table? If the table is raised, should the window sill that was originally parallel to the table be raised, and if the window sill is raised, should the structure of the house also be adjusted? This is just one person, one house, if it is the whole world, what about all the houses?

  The same is true for the administration of officials.

  Sima Yi wrote the last stroke on the document, then finalized the written judgment, put down the pen, finished the day's work, and ordered, "File it." 』

   Immediately, the clerk in the hall stepped forward, respectfully collected these documents, and took them away.

  The documents of these penalties will be sent to Shangshutai for spot checks, and finally archived, which will later become a reference standard for similar cases in various counties and counties.

  Maybe it was uncomfortable to write with head down for a long time, Sima Yi couldn't help rubbing his sore neck, and the confidant beside him stepped forward very cleverly, and helped Sima Yi massage his neck.

  Sima Yi closed his eyes, asked his confidant to press his shoulders, "What's new in the past two days?" 』

The confidant replied in a low voice: "Yesterday, the Senate said that it was going to make a law of the Western Regions...the gates were closed, and they said when it would be formulated and when it would open... Handicap betting was opened in the market. How long will it take...』

  『Western Region law? ’ Sima Yi asked, ‘What do you mean? What western law? 』

"Because when I heard about it, the Senate was already closed..." The confidant replied, "But I still tried to find a way to find out. It is said that it is because of the matter of the governor of the Western Regions...Huqi said that there are three or four hundred people in the Western Regions. There is no decent standard of measurement for years, and the state bestowed is also arbitrary, so there must be a rule...』

  Sima Yi closed his eyes, but his eyeballs rolled a few times under his eyelids, "Anything else?" 』

"Also..." The confidant thought for a while, "The other thing is that the Kaogong Division is recruiting manpower and is going to the Western Regions to check the performance of officials... After all, the Western Regions have turned into such a state, and the hussars must be very angry... I think this time , the guardian of the Western Regions is probably in trouble...』

  『Kao Gongsi...』 After a moment of silence, Sima Yi shook his head and said, 『No, not necessarily. 』

"ah? ’ His confidant couldn’t understand, but he didn’t ask too much, he just said directly, ‘There is also someone who went to Zhijianyuan to complain about the Western Regions, but was scolded by You Zhengping and ran away? 』

  『Zhijianyuan? ’ Sima Yi was slightly taken aback, ‘Who is it? 』

  『Not very clear, it is said to be from Heluo, surnamed Zhang. said Sima Yi's confidant

  『Heluo? 』Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly.

  The confidant nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it belongs to Heluo." 』

  Sima Yi suddenly smiled slightly, "Interesting..."

  Sima Yi leaned forward, then moved his shoulders, "It's done. To prepare chariots and horses, I want to meet my lord. 』

   The confidant replied and retreated first.

  Sima Yi stood up, and did not leave the lobby of Dali Temple immediately, but walked down the steps on one side, then walked to the bottom of the platform, before the desk table, turned around and looked up from the angle below.

  『Ascend to Bixu, and look forward to Chu. Looking at Chu and Tang, Jingshan and Beijing..." Sima Yi sighed softly, "Those who can ascend to the top can become doctors? 』

  Sima Yi smiled, lowered his head, turned and walked out.

  Sima Yi is very clear, can someone who is able to ascend the heights be called a doctor?

  It’s like something about the Western Regions, is it simply the Western Regions?

  Heluo people...

hehe.

  …(*`ェ*)…

  Heluo native Zhang Cun has not had the nerve to go out for the past two days.

  He lives in an inn.

  But the lease period for clothes and hats is coming soon, and now he is helpless, not knowing what to do next.

   There is no money to redeem the crown, which means that he cannot get his deposit back!

  If he can't get the deposit back, what will he do with his next expenses? The inn also needs rent, and the daily three meals also need to eat and drink. If you have no money, you will be kicked out!

   Really can’t do it, take these rented clothes and go to the **** shop?

   But it would be a huge loss in this way!

   When he was tossing and turning in worry and restless, someone knocked on his door.

  『Brother Zhang... Where is Brother Zhang? 』

  Hearing this voice, Zhang Cun stood up abruptly, walked to the door in a hurry, and opened the door, "You, you, you!" Do you still dare to come here? ! You have done a terrible job to me! 』

"Shhh..." The visitor signaled for a moment, then looked left and right, pushed Zhang Cun's hand away, and walked into the room, "Brother Zhang, I'm here to send you money... If you don't like it, I'm leaving now? 』

  『…』 Zhang Cun twitched a few times, and then tried to change his angry face into a smiling face, 『Hi! All money and no money, it’s all...please sit down, sit down and talk...I don’t have any preparations here, brother, I’m really slow to wait for you...』

"hehe. The visitor smiled and sat down, "When Brother Zhang went to the Zhijian Academy, I originally wanted to go too... But I just happened to be away for two days, and I will come back today... I heard that Brother Zhang's remonstrance was not very smooth ? 』

  The corner of Zhang Cun's mouth twitched, "Brother! What you said is useless! Look, I now...'

  『No hurry, Brother Zhang, don’t worry. Tell me in detail, what exactly happened in Zhijianyuan? The visitor asked.

Zhang Cun sighed, and recounted the process in the court of Zhijian, "Brother, you originally said that after going to the court, there are many benefits, but the biggest disadvantage is that the hussars may send me in the name of officials in the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty." The Western Regions, like the old story of Emperor Xiaowu... In the end, you see, there is nothing, and I was fined 5,000 yuan...』

  Zhang Cun took out the ticket from his arms, put it on the table, and looked at the person with piercing eyes, with obvious meaning.

  『Don’t worry, I’ll pay the fine for you...』 The visitor nodded and smiled, 『It seems that my estimate was a bit different...but at least you haven’t been fined yet...』

  Zhang Cun rubbed his fingers on the table, "Brother, I was fined!" Five thousand dollars! Well, this penalty is really not heavy, but what is important is that I am here now... indeed, my money is a little tight...』

"No hurry, no hurry..." The visitor frowned and said, "That's not right, Huqi just cleaned up the officials in Longyou, and the Dali Temple is still in trial... Logically speaking, the officials in Longyou are not enough now. Now, there is another matter in the Western Regions, and Chang'an Sanfu, the officials in the east of the river have not moved... Where did this hussar come from to fill the hole in the Western Regions? 』

"Hi! It's a big deal to move the officials of Chang'an Sanfu over there! Will you know when the time comes! 』Seeing that the visitor didn’t immediately take out the money, Zhang Cun felt a little impatient, but he couldn’t just reach out and ask for it, so he just dealt with it casually.

  The visitor blinked, and then stared at Zhang Cun.

  Zhang Cun looked around, "Brother, this is..."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay... By the way, I want to give it to Brother Zhang..." The visitor lowered his head and reached into his arms, as if he wanted to get money for Zhang Village, "Brother Zhang is indeed a great talent... Now I am a little frustrated , but only temporarily...」

  Zhang Cun licked his lips slightly, his eyes were shining.

  The man who came got half of the hand, suddenly turned his head towards the door, and shouted in a low voice, "Who?" ! 』

   Zhang Cun immediately followed to look at the door, but saw that the door was quiet and there was no movement, he couldn't help being taken aback, and then felt a chill in his chest and abdomen!

"you…"

A burst of severe pain surged out. Just as Zhang Cun wanted to shout, his mouth was covered by the visitor, and the whole person was pushed down to the ground. He faltered and couldn't shout, and kicked his legs and feet on the floor. After a few clicks, there was a muffled sound.

  Blood gushed out, Zhang Cun glared at the person coming, and then the strength of the struggle gradually weakened, and finally remained motionless.

The visitor put down Zhang Cun's body, listened carefully to the movement around him, then grabbed Zhang Cun's hand, dipped it in his own blood, wrote a few words on the floor, and got up to clean it up. I looked around again, opened a crack in the door to peek, and saw no one outside, so I dodged out...

  …(#￢.￢)…

   Feiqian's own Hussar General's Mansion has one advantage, that is, the commuting time is short.

  Going to work means walking forward, and leaving get off work means walking backward, and the front and back are only one or two miles away.

   After get off work, Fei Qian walked back along the corridor and returned home in a short time, entering the back hall of the General's Mansion.

  The servant girl brought Fei Qian face-washing water and waited for him to wash his face.

   When Fei Zhen got the news of Fei Qian's return, she quickly came out of the backyard and went to Fei Qian to say hello.

"have already eaten? ’ Fei Qian asked.

   Fei Zhen replied, "Seeing that the father has not returned, the mother asked the child to eat together first." 』

"Um. ’ Fei Qian nodded. Because there are so many things to do, when Fei Qian convenes people to discuss matters, he is often not sure how long it will take, so Fei Qian also confessed that Huang Yueying and others don't have to wait for Fei Qian to come back in the backyard before eating.

  『How is your homework recently? ’ Fei Qian asked Fei Zhen while wiping his face with a hot towel.

  Fei Zhen was not in a hurry, stood aside, took the hot towel for Fei Qian, handed it back to the attendant, and then said: "I'm still watching the Spring and Autumn Festival these days. 』

  『Which year did you see? ’ Fei Qian motioned Fei Zhen to sit down and asked.

   Fei Zhen said: "Dinggong four years. 』

  Fei Qian raised his head and recalled, "Oh, what do you think has impressed you the most this year?" 』

  『It must be Erxu! Fei Zhen was clearly prepared, so she said with a confident expression, "If one word destroys the country, one word rejuvenates the country, Er Xu should do the same!" Crying for Qin Ting, singing without clothes! What sincerity, faith, righteousness, and courage! All can see it! 』

   Fei Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "You really think so?" 』

  Fei Zhen was taken aback for a moment, her expression changed slightly, "Father, what you mean is..."

   Feiqian shook his head and said: "If you just see the excitement, you might as well go out and turn left to find some Zuixianlou story books..."

  Fei Zhen's face suddenly collapsed, "Father... this, please give me some advice..."

   Feiqian said slowly: "Wu Zixu destroyed Chu, Shen Baoxu cried for Qin...it looks very lively, doesn't it?" 』

   Fei Zhen nodded.

   Feiqian laughed twice, "But you were deceived..."

"ah? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes widened, ‘Could it be that…my lord father meant that Chunqiu…was fake? 』

   Feiqian smiled and said, "No way...Chunqiu is written in spring and autumn...do you understand? 』

  『Uh…』 Fei Zhen half understood.

  『Okay, it is Shen Baoxu’s ability to rescue soldiers, but what did he say to King Qin? ’ Fei Qian asked slowly while looking up at the sky.

  『Wu is a hog and a long snake? If it is not removed, Qin will be in trouble. ’ Fei Zhen asked.

   Fei Qian nodded, "Continue. 』

"Wu was the seal of the hog and the long snake, and recommended food to go to the kingdom. The abuse began in Chu..." Fei Zhen recited the passage from Zuo Zhuan, and then said with some hesitation, "This is... the intention of my lord father Is... he is... threatening Qin? 』

  『Yes, half. ’ Fei Qian smiled and nodded, ‘It kind of means that...and then? Can King Qin be threatened by him? King Qin didn't agree to him, so what would he do? Crying, it is said that I cried for seven days and seven nights...It is said that "the sound is continuous day and night, and I can't drink from the spoon for seven days"... Hehe, of course, I cried for seven days without eating or drinking, this person is dead... Well, this is not the point, The point is that King Qin agreed to send troops later! Well, now do you think... Shen Baoxu's crying... is really useful? Is it crying reinforcements, or some other reason? 』

  Fei Zhen pondered for a while, then sighed slightly and said: "No. Crying is useless. The king of Qin sent troops, it was not pity..."

Of course, Shen Baoxu's loyalty and patriotism in the description of "Crying for the Qin Court" is still understandable and worthy of recognition, but the problem is just like what Fei Qian said, Qin Aigong helped Shen Baoxu send troops to rescue Chu Country, is it really just because King Qin was moved by Shen Baoxu's tears?

   Obviously impossible. Duke Ai of Qin reigned for thirty-six years. Although he did not do many earth-shattering deeds, he was more or less a wise monarch. As the monarch of Qin, how could he be moved by some tears? All he cares about is bound to be profit.

  『So, the matter of Er Xu is just like the Western Regions. It looks like a matter of one or two people... 』 Fei Qian laughed, "It's actually not... the matter of Er Xu, it's just an introduction..."

  『Behind the State of Wu is the State of Jin... 』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『There has always been disagreement between Jin and Chu. In order to contain and weaken Chu State, Jin State sent people to Wu State to impart knowledge and technology, and taught Wu State how to build soldiers, farm and produce... This is the reason why Wu Zixu attacked Chu! If there is no Jin State, there are ten and a hundred Wu Zixu, so what? 』

  During the Spring and Autumn Period, as the territory of Chu State gradually expanded, the vassal states of the Central Plains regarded it as a serious threat. In order to gain the strategic initiative, Jin State, the overlord of the Central Plains at that time, turned its target to Wu State. Just when some people from Chu fled to the state of Jin, they suggested that the state of Jin and the state of Wu should form an alliance to fight against the state of Chu, so the state of Jin promoted this plan. For Wu Guo, this is a good opportunity for Wu Guo to get rid of being controlled by Chu State, so they hit it off.

  『So,』 Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen, 『Can you understand now? Why did Qin send troops? 』

  Fei Zhen thought for a while, and quickly said, "The fact that Qin sent troops to aid Chu is actually aimed at Jin!" The State of Jin is the great enemy of the State of Qin. If it can weaken the State of Jin, the King of Qin will naturally agree! Shen Baoxu also knew this, so he went to King Qin for help! 』

  『So Qin Ting was crying because he was crying? Or is it Shen Baoxu's work alone? ’ Fei Qian asked with a smile.

  Fei Zhen shook her head, and then asked, "So, Father, you are saying... the achievements of the Western Regions are not the achievements of Lu Fengxian alone? 』

   Fei Qian didn't answer, but raised his head and smiled.

  『Let’s not talk about the Western Regions first, let’s talk about the State of Qin...’ Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table, 『What is the policy of the State of Qin? Long distance and close attack...」

  At that time, the biggest enemy of Qin State was Jin State. In order to deal with the state of Jin, they deliberately made friends with the state of Chu, which had an enmity with the state of Jin. Beginning with Duke Mu of Qin, the State of Qin has established an "hardcore" strategic alliance with the State of Chu through in-laws. From this perspective, if the State of Wu is allowed to destroy the State of Chu, or if the State of Jin or State of Wu is allowed to support a puppet regime in the State of Chu, then the previous investment of the State of Qin will be in vain, and it will also be used strategically. In a passive position, surrounded by Jin and Wu.

  Qin’s national strength at that time was not that strong, and it was difficult enough to deal with a Jin country. At this time, with the addition of Wu, will Qin have a good life in the future? Therefore, Duke Ai of Qin must take advantage of the fact that the joint attack between Jin and Wu has not yet been completed, and kill this danger in the cradle.

  『Then, since the situation at that time was like this, why didn’t King Qin immediately agree to Shen Baoxu? Is it an intentional delay? Or some other reason? ’ Fei Qian asked another question, ‘It’s like the Chang’an Sanfu... There were many people who said that they wanted to attack Shandong... Now some people are jumping and saying that they want to pacify the Western Regions... These people, hehe…"

  『Such people are extremely stupid! Fei Zhen said with contempt on her face, "Military matters should be handled with caution, how can you be lighthearted?" 』

"It's easy to talk about others..." Fei Qian glanced at Fei Zhen, "Then tell me, why Qin didn't send troops at that time, and had to wait seven days later... Well, of course it is claimed that Shen Baoxu cried for seven days and moved the world. The king of Qin was touched, what song without clothes... If you believe all of this, I will let you cry for seven days...』

  『Uh...』 Fei Zhen smiled awkwardly, 『Yes...Because the King of Qin wants to determine the movement of the Jin Kingdom? 』

"One thing..." Fei Qian thought for a while, and nodded, "But this is not the main reason... King Qin only sent 500 times in the end. This amount is actually not that big, so the main force of King Qin is still on defense. Jin State..."

  Fei Zhen thought about it, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Does the King of Qin want to see what he can get?" ! 』

Fei Qian nodded and said, "King Qin has to measure the gains and losses of his reinforcements... If you can get something from Chu, it is certainly worth paying more for King Qin... But it is obvious that Shen Baoxu is not willing to give it, or he I can't afford it... Well, since there is no additional benefit for King Qin, what is the reason for King Qin to make up his mind to send troops in the end? Or to be more precise, it is the reason why the King of Qin agreed to send troops in the end, instead of continuing to procrastinate...Of course, I hope you can take a look at the overall situation and jump out to see...』

  『Jump out? 』Fei Zhen couldn't understand.

  『It’s not Qin, and it’s not the Western Regions...』 Fei Qian made a gesture in the air, "Like a giant, standing above thousands of years, it’s wonderful to look at it..."

  『The giant stands on the thousand autumns? 』Fei Zhen's eyes are bright.

   Fei Qian nodded.

  Fei Zhen was thinking about it, when suddenly an attendant came to the hall and reported in a deep voice: "Sima, Zhengqing of Dali Temple, please see me!" 』

  Fei Qian was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while, and asked someone to call Sima Yi in, and then smiled at Fei Zhen: "Perhaps Sima Yi came here to give you some references for this problem... Just listen quietly..."
