"Is there a way?"

"There should be." Zhen Mi shrugged. "For example, exiling criminals overseas, or expelling the barbarians as the vanguard, are all good ways. It is said that the land of the barbarians is bitter and cold, but during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, didn't a large number of people go out of the fortress? Before the court, they blindly defended it, thinking that they could spend money Silk is exchanged for peace, and now it seems that it may be more appropriate to attack and resist the enemy outside the Great Wall."

Shi Sun Rui frowned slightly, but said nothing.

A few years ago, it was impossible for him to agree with such an opinion.But to this day, he feels that such an opinion has its own reasons.

This is what the Son of Heaven did. Facts have also proved that appeasing the barbarians blindly cannot bring peace. Conquering them by force, forcing them outside the Great Wall, compressing their living space, and then dividing and conquering may be the right way.

The more you are afraid of danger, the easier it is to approach danger.

Jushou originally resisted the emperor's plan to exile the people in Yecheng, and felt that the punishment was too severe.But after hearing Zhen Mi's suggestion, he felt that this was actually a good choice.

Exile overseas may seem harsh, but in fact, with the courage and ability of Jizhou people, as long as they have certain resources, it is more than enough to deal with a few barbarians.

Besides, overseas is not necessarily far away. For example, Sanhan other than Liaodong and Lelang is overseas. It seems very far away, but in fact, businessmen have long been traveling by boat.I heard from the businessmen that there is a lot of land there, and it is certainly not a problem to feed these tens of thousands of people.

Another advantage of overseas is that they are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If you want to be king, you can be king, if you want to be hegemony, you can be hegemony, and you can just pay tribute to the big man.

This idea should be spread to the city as soon as possible, let Tian Feng tell those people, let them make a choice early.

"Has Fangzhu seen any manuscripts related to Danggu recently?" Shi Sun Rui asked suddenly.

"Dang Gu?" Zhen Mi was taken aback. "I didn't see it."

But Ben Zhan said: "I heard some news that Lantai seems to be collecting materials related to the party members, including family biographies, inscriptions, and rank affairs, all of which are being cleaned up. Some days ago, some people went to Qinghe to copy stories Sikong Fangzhi's inscription."

"Lantai is presiding over this matter?"

"It should be, but the person in charge is not Cai Lingshi, it seems to be a Bohai scholar named Yuan Gui."

"Yuan Gui?" Shi Sun Rui was taken aback. "When did he come?"

"It's been a while." Bi Zhan thought about it carefully. "It seems to be recommended by Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu?" Shi Sun Rui and Ju Shou looked at each other in disbelief.

They all knew who Yuan Gui was, but they didn't expect that Yuan Shu would recommend Yuan Gui to be an official, and the emperor even asked Yuan Gui to preside over the compilation of "Biography of the Danggu".

Why does this sound so weird?

Shi Sunrui felt that he wanted to meet Cai Yan and Yuan Gui.

Chapter 929 Wait and see

When scholar Sun Rui found Cai Yan, Yuan Heng was just off duty and was discussing with Cai Yan about Wang Duan being left in Xingzai.

Seeing the scholar Sun Rui, Cai Yan and Yuan Heng hurried forward to salute, and regarded themselves as their children.

Although Shi Sunrui has never been a Sangong, he has always had a good reputation and is very prestigious among the younger generation.

Hearing that Wang Duan was left behind, Shi Sun Rui asked a few more questions.

Wang Duan is a relative, who has a strong demonstration effect and has a major impact on the subsequent logistical supplies.

Sun Rui heaved a sigh of relief knowing that Wang Duan was not only kept in the line, but Zhuge Liang's family property would also be counted.With the emperor's methods, no one should dare to confront Zhuge Liang head-on.As for the small means, it must not be Zhuge Liang's opponent.

Being able to carry out a comprehensive name registration verification at any cost at the time of the autumn harvest is a testament to its courage.Anyone with a little knowledge will not conflict with Zhuge Liang at this time.

What's more, there is also the Northern Army stationed nearby, ready to assist in countering the rebellion.

The scholar Sun Rui immediately asked about the "Biography of the Party Gu".

Cai Yan already knew from Yuan Heng that the Son of Heaven was discussing the preface with Shi Sun Rui, so he was not surprised at all.She told Shi Sunrui that the emperor's request for "Dang Gu Lie Biography" is to record it truthfully, so it is still in the data collection stage, and even the preface is a draft.

The reason is very simple. Regarding Zhou Fu and Fang Zhi, who are the origins of the party affairs, the information currently available is not comprehensive enough.

Zhou Fu is too little, Fang Zhi is too empty.

Although Zhou Fu was a Confucian scholar, he has no other deeds to pass on except that he was an emperor's teacher and an official to a minister.Among his disciples, there is no particularly outstanding one. In addition, it is a derogatory statement in party affairs, and even fewer dare to speak out. There is almost nothing to write about.

Fang Zhi has relatively more information, but most of them are false names, and there are not many actual political achievements.

Judging from the only information available, it was Fang Zhi's guest disciples who provoked the incident and attacked Zhou Fu, which did not match Fang Zhi's image of a moral gentleman.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is to issue a statement on the Mansion Newspaper, hoping that all people involved in or concerned about party affairs can provide information, and then discriminate and analyze the information from the false to the true, and finally write the "Biography of the Party", and put the Gains and losses are recorded in the annals of history for future generations.

After hearing this, Sun Rui was both happy and worried.

The joy is that the emperor's attitude of seeking truth from facts remains the same as before, and he regards the writing of "Danggu Liezhuan" as a major event, hoping to draw experience and lessons from it, so he does not hesitate to hurt the reputation of Xiaohuan and Xiaoling.What is worrying is that the party affairs are too involved. I am afraid that this biography cannot be written in a short time, or even a biography can accommodate it.

The greater danger is that it may cause the literati to tear apart.

Tens of thousands of scholar-bureaucrats were implicated in the two party imprisonments, and many party members or their descendants are still alive, and even hold great power.The imperial court wanted to clarify party affairs, so they naturally couldn't just sit idly by and speak out.

But there has never been a public opinion on the right and wrong of party affairs, and even among the literati and bureaucrats, there are great differences on party affairs.While the supporters are justified, the opponents are also justified.It's just that they don't have an advantage in morality, and the channels for speaking out are limited, so the volume is not loud enough. It seems that the party members are more powerful.

Now the situation has changed. Not only is the emperor’s attitude towards the party members not good enough, but to some extent he supports the opponents to speak out. New things such as Dibao and Yinfang have also provided opponents with more opportunities to speak out.

Once the two sides have a public debate, and form a text and publish it all over the world, the momentum of the party members will inevitably be severely damaged.

Although scholar Sun Rui is not a party member and opposes the extremism of the party members, he does not want to see the reputation of the party members discredited, and become a existence with mixed merits and demerits just like eunuchs.

In his view, such a danger exists, and the possibility is extremely high.

As a member of the court, he knows the true face of the party members too well.

"How does Ling Shi evaluate Wang Situ?" Shi Sun Rui said.

Cai Yan smiled lightly. "Master Sun Gong may wish to wait and see."

-

Shi Sun Rui came to the restaurant and sat down to eat.

Mrs. Bian has received an order from the emperor to prepare a simple but delicate dinner for Sun Rui, including Chinese food and wine.

But Shi Sunrui had no taste at all.

Thinking back to the conversation with Cai Yan, he was worried.

Cai Yong died at the hands of Wang Yun, and how Cai Yan planned to write about Wang Yun became a very symbolic topic.As a party member who was killed by Xiliang people, if Wang Yun's image can still be basically positive, other people don't have to worry too much.

But Cai Yan's answer made him very uneasy.

If Cai Yan took advantage of this opportunity to belittle Wang Yun and complain for his father, it would not be difficult.

She did this, and there is another role that cannot be ignored: to take care of the overall situation and appease the people of Liangzhou.

After all, the Liangzhou Army is a force that the imperial court relies heavily on, so it cannot be ignored.

In contrast, although the party members with the Ruying people at the core have some power, they are not enough to change the current balance of power.

Once the "Danggu Biography" is finalized, the image of the party members has become a historical fact, and it will be difficult to change it later.

The conflict between the scholar-bureaucrats and the imperial court may also plant the root of disaster and alienation.

However, Jushou ate very happily, and had a good chat with his colleagues who came here especially, and drank several glasses of wine in a row.

Shi Sun Rui couldn't bear it anymore and choked him. "Don't think that there are not many party members in Jizhou, so you can stay out of the matter and watch from the sidelines."

Ju Shou laughed. "It would be a good thing if the party members of the world could be exiled overseas like the Jizhou people in Yecheng."

Shi Sunrui's heart moved slightly, and he smacked his lips. "Then tell me, did the Son of Heaven do it on purpose?"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but...not likely."

"Isn't it?"

"It is far easier for the emperor to deal with the party members than to deal with the Jizhou people." Ju Shou put down the chopsticks in his hand. "The ban on the party is just a matter of an edict. The reason why the ban on the party was lifted, and the reason why the party members still have a chance to speak, is not because of how powerful the party members are, but because of the Yellow Turban."

Ju Shou raised his head and looked at Shi Sun Rui, his face was slightly wine-red, but his eyes were bright.

"Do you think there is still a possibility of the Yellow Turban riots?"

Shi Sunrui's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and the blood vessels on his forehead started to beat, especially at his temples, which beat extraordinarily violently.

He quickly glanced around and said in a low voice, "Gongyu, don't worry about it."

Jushou chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I won't be so willful. But have you ever thought about how long this matter can be hidden? Once the emperor issues an edict to collect deeds related to the party members and discuss them publicly, someone will definitely bring out the past. explain."

He paused, and then said: "I even think that the emperor may have suspected it a long time ago, but he didn't say anything."

Shi Sunrui held his breath, only feeling dizzy.He shook his hand and said in an almost pleading tone: "Gongyu, be careful with your words."

Jushou nodded. "I can say with caution, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou cannot be ignored."

Chapter 930

Hedong.

Standing on the side of the official road, Xun Yu watched the oxcarts full of grain passing by, frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty, I'll wait." A middle-aged knight came to Xun Yu, held his whip upside down, saluted with a smile on his face.

"Go, be careful on the road." Xun Yu waved his hand.

"Wei." The middle-aged knight responded, raised his hand, and shook his whip. "Farewell to the lord."

"Your Majesty, take care."

"Your Majesty, take care."

Countless servants bid farewell to Xun Yu loudly, all with irrepressible smiles on their faces.Although the future is hard and it will take several months to go back and forth, but this time they send money and food to travel, not only can they reduce half of the tax, but also have the opportunity to stay in travel, wait for the emperor to dispatch, and participate in the siege of the city.If you have done meritorious service, there will be rewards.

In their view, this credit is almost for nothing.

The Son of Heaven is invincible, and the 10,000+ army besieged the city, how could Yecheng be able to stop it.

Seeing the excitement of the miners, Xun Yu was in a very complicated mood and didn't know what to say.

When these people and money and food are in place, the emperor is more confident, but he doesn't know what will happen.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Tang is here." A follower rushed over and said in a low voice.

Xun Yu looked back, and under the shadow of a tree, he saw a corner of Mrs. Tang's bicycle, nodded, turned and walked over.

Mrs. Tang looked from the porch, and when she saw Xun Yu approaching, she smiled.

"where to?"

"Let's go to Sushui and take a look at today's embankment."

Mrs. Tang nodded in agreement and tapped on the car wall.

The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage started slowly, galloping lightly to the north.

Along the way, the trees are lined with shade and the cool breeze is blowing, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

Xun Yu leaned against the wall of the car, without saying a word, his expression still looked dignified.He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Madam Tang.Mrs. Tang took it, unfolded it, and frowned.

"Is this Yuan Gui the son of Yuan Zhongzhen?"

"Yes." Xun Yu turned his head and looked at Mrs. Tang, with a wry smile on his lips. "He returned to Luoyang from Yizhou, met Yuan Shu, and was recommended to the emperor by Yuan Shu. Now he is a Lang in Lantai, and he is planning to compile "Biography of the Dang Gu."

Mrs. Tang couldn't help laughing, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

"This Yuan Shu is truly a talent. No wonder he can turn bad luck into good fortune and turn disaster into good fortune."

Xun Yu looked at Madam Tang speechlessly. "You can still laugh?"

Mrs. Tang glanced at him and continued to read the letter. "Why can't I laugh? I think this is very good. People make the best use of their talents and things. Since this Yuan Gui is the son of a party member, he will be responsible for compiling the "Biography of the Party", so he won't feel that the court is biased."

She stopped suddenly, tilted her head in thought for a moment, raised her eyelids, and looked at Xun Yu.

"Are you worried that the emperor is suspicious of your uncle and nephew?"

Xun Yu nodded and sighed: "Yuan Gui wrote to me not only because of the old friendship between his father Yuan Zhongzhen and my Xun family, but also because he thought that Gongda and I could influence the emperor. This matter has reached the ears of the emperor. How can you not doubt it?"

Mrs. Tang nodded and continued to read the letter without saying anything.

This matter is indeed troublesome, no wonder Xun Yu sent someone to invite her.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Tang did not speak, and remained silent for a long time.

Xun Yu looked at her, but was not in a hurry to speak.

When the carriage came to Sushui, Xun Yu and Mrs. Tang got out of the carriage.Xun Yu's wife, Mrs. Tang, has arrived, and she is standing by the river with her belly out, looking at the scenery.Xun Yu's second son, Xun Yu, was playing in the water with bare feet. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and shouted happily.

"Auntie, when did you come back?"

While shouting, he opened his arms and rushed towards Mrs. Tang's arms.

Mrs. Tang embraced her, kissed Xunmata's face twice, and said with a smile, "Miss my aunt?"
