Han Dao world

With all the witnesses and physical evidence, and the confession matched, Gao Rou quickly closed the case and sent the result to Liu Xie.

The two tyrants at the head cut to the ground, and the subordinates traveled thousands of miles, confiscating their property.

Because it involves the emperor, it is suspected of assassination, so it cannot be regarded as an ordinary rebellion.Gao Rou's penalty looks heavy, but it is actually very merciful.As long as he wants to flatter the emperor and admit that they conspired against him, he can be sentenced to family punishment without any problem.

Liu Xie thought about it, and said to Gao Rou, in the eyes of the Central Plains people, Quanling is a remote place where prisoners are exiled, and if they are exiled thousands of miles away, what difference does it make?It's better to serve your sentence locally, and save manpower and material resources.

Gao Rou thought about it and agreed.

Serving a sentence locally, in addition to the grace of the emperor, can also make the local people feel at ease and avoid the feeling of sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.But the warnings that should be given must not be missed. These people will serve hard labor until the amnesty.

Liu Xie agreed.

As soon as the news was announced, not only the tyrants who thought they would die were overjoyed, but even Jiang Wan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

If they killed so many people and blood flowed like rivers, they would not be able to explain to the township party.

Taking this opportunity, Gao Rou gave a speech to the county officials who had just been convened, clarifying the concept of the Son of Heaven to legislate with benevolence and rule the country with law.Taking this case as an example, it analyzes the provisions of the basis of the case in detail to prove that the law must be followed is not just empty words, but a reality.

At the same time, he analyzed it from the perspective of Spring and Autumn Judgment.

If it is the Spring and Autumn Judgment, according to the different interpretations of the scriptures in the "Spring and Autumn", there may be many kinds of sentences.

Gao Rou was well prepared, citing scriptures and many previous cases, fully demonstrating the randomness of Spring and Autumn Prison Judgment.While establishing the impression of being knowledgeable and knowledgeable in the hearts of the students, it also sowed in their hearts the seeds that it is not feasible to break the prison in the Spring and Autumn Period, and that the previous laws need to be reformed. thought.

After the lecture, Gao Rou wrote her own speech and the opinions and questions of some students into an article, handed it to Yinfang for engraving, and announced it to the world.

Revising the old law is definitely not a matter of Lingling County, and the establishment of the Law School is related to the future of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, more people should know about it, participate together, and even come to Lingling to join the Law School.

When Gao Rou was adjudicating cases, training students, and preparing to build a county school, Liu Xie also made a series of adjustments to Lingling's government affairs.

He first announced a plan to double the income, to double the annual income of Lingling County within five years, especially for ordinary people, to let the tillers have their fields, the weavers have their clothes, and their children can study , the elderly can eat meat.

To this end, he first had to choose a suitable prefect for Lingling and a suitable commander for each county.

The specific arrangement is in charge of the Situ Mansion, more specifically, Zhang Song, the long history sent by the Situ Mansion.

Zhang Song quickly sent a list of candidates.

In this list, Liu Xie saw several familiar names, all of whom were elite soldiers transferred from Guanzhong and Jizhou. In addition to Cao Ang, who had been decided before, there were Zhao Xiang Yang Jun and Changshan Prefect Du Ji.

It can be seen that Yang Biao has high expectations for these people, and hopes that they can serve under the eyes of the emperor, so that the emperor can see their abilities and lay the foundation for them to be listed as ministers in the future.

In addition, Liu Xie also saw a familiar name: Wei Tao.

Wei Tao was recommended as the order of Quanling.

Liu Xie thought for a while, and looked through the previous records, only to remember that Wei Tao was the former Pingyuan prefect. Because he refused to save the land, he was conscripted by the car and sent to the court. Later, he was sentenced to lose the left school and went to prison .

How did this person enter Situ Mansion's recommendation list again, and become a candidate for Quanling Order?

Liu Xie summoned Zhang Song and asked what happened.

Zhang Song had been prepared for a long time, and told Liu Xie that this Wei Tao was serving a seven-year sentence in Jian'an, with a two-year sentence.However, he performed well and served his sentence in one year. Later, he lived in Wanxian County. Because of his outstanding ability, he was trusted and reused by Nanyang prefect Huang She, and was recommended to Situ Mansion.

After the Situ Mansion inspected Wei Tao, they considered that he met the corresponding conditions, so they included him in the list.

Zhang Song finally said, Your Majesty might as well meet this person, maybe he will understand.

If His Majesty wants to realize his plan of doubling his income within five years, this person is really available.

Chapter 1213 No One Is Perfect

Although Liu Xie and Yang Biao often had differences of opinion, he still trusted Yang Biao's character and vision, and naturally had no doubts about Zhang Song, so he accepted Zhang Song's suggestion and designated Wei Tao as the No. .1 election.

The prefect of Lingling was replaced by Du Ji, the prefect of Changshan.

He knew that Yang Biao was reluctant to include Yang Jun in the recommendation list. Apart from expressing that he was not partial to Du Ji, he also meant to prepare for the promotion of Zhuge Liang.

In a blink of an eye, Zhuge Liang has been serving as Handan Commander for almost four years.With his outstanding achievements in the top three years ago, it is reasonable to be promoted to Prime Minister Zhao on the spot.If you want to do this, you have to change Yang Jun's position.

Liu Xie felt that Zhuge Liang's accumulation at the grassroots level was not enough, and now he was promoted to prefect too quickly.Handan is a large county, and it is not difficult to manage it well.If poor counties and weak counties can also be managed well, that is the real skill.

Coupled with the idea he established not long ago, he still hopes to transfer Zhuge Liang to a remote area to practice again. Even if he is promoted to the prefect, he cannot be in Zhao State.

After listening to Liu Xie's thoughts, Zhang Song suggested that Zhuge Liang should be transferred to Lingling.

Liu Xie was also a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he still refused.

Zhuge Liang can't be under his protection all the time, there must be a time to fly solo, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

In turn, Liu Xie said to Zhang Song, are you interested in taking up a post in a local area?

Zhang Song smiled and shook his head. "Not yet. I still plan to practice in Situ Mansion for a few more years to accumulate qualifications, and then we can talk about it."

Liu Xie felt a little regretful. "Zi Qiao, even I can't get rid of the habit of judging people by their appearance."

Zhang Song felt warm in his heart. "With your majesty's words, even if you can't be an official for the rest of your life, you will be satisfied. It would be even better if your majesty can let you follow you when you go west."

Liu Xie was quite surprised. "You want to go west too?"

Zhang Song nodded. "I heard that in the eyes of barbarians, Han people are difficult to distinguish, let alone beauty and ugliness. When you arrive in the Western Regions, you don't have to worry about being inferior. You can be respected only by this Han face. If you add the emperor's close minister What else is there to worry about?"

Liu Xie laughed and nodded in agreement. "A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. Since you have such lofty ambitions, how can I refuse. You stay in Quanling and take care of some affairs for me while serving as the left chief of Situ's mansion. When the opportunity is right, ask Situ for someone .”

Zhang Song was overjoyed and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

-

After staying with Zhang Song for a few days, Liu Xie realized that although Xizheng hadn't really been put on the agenda, there were quite a few people who wanted to follow him on the expedition.

In addition to people like Zhang Song whose official career has been hindered due to appearance problems, there are also many descendants of aristocratic families, especially those who have no inheritance rights, second sons, concubine sons, and Xiaozong whose blood is getting thinner.

Compared with ordinary people, these people are much better educated, and there are not a few people with both civil and military skills.Before that, because of the existence of the shadow appointment system, once two thousand stone high-ranking officials appeared in the family, they would have the opportunity to serve as shadows.Now that the imperial court is gradually tightening the quota of Yin Ren, their official careers are hindered, so they naturally have to find other ways out.

What's more, there are only a small number of officials who are capable of reaching two thousand shi, and the vast majority of officials will not be able to shade their children in their lifetime. Those children who have received education but have no place to use their skills have become the treasures of many families and individuals. common choice.

Going west with the Son of Heaven is just one of the choices. Some people choose to go to sea, and Zhongshan is one of the directions.

The impact of the escape case last year was not small.In addition to the idea that the law must be followed has gradually become popular, more and more people know about Zhongshan Kingdom.Because of the proximity and the traffic of sea ships, it is not difficult to get news about Zhongshan.In addition, Liu Bei used to be an official in the Qingxu area, and there are many people who are familiar with him. Knowing that he is king overseas, expanding the territory, there are many Qingxu children who want to serve.

Those who wanted to go west like Zhang Song were mostly from Yizhou and Liangzhou.

Hearing such news, Liu Xie was still very happy.

After nearly ten years, he finally saw some achievements in the hearts of the people.It is a good start that more Han family teenagers are starting to look around, no longer limited to the land of the Central Plains.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now this step is finally taken.

In time, as the horizons of the Han people widen and their footprints grow farther and farther, the battle flags of the Han people will be planted all over the world, and the prosperous age of cars on the same track and books on the same text will eventually become a reality.

At the beginning of August, Wei Tao rushed to Quanling to take up his post.

Zhang Song took him to see him immediately.

Liu Xie didn't know Wei Tao.He had only heard of Wei Tao's name, but never met him.When he saw Wei Tao for the first time, he was a little surprised.

Wei Tao is of medium build and very strong.Unlike the [-]-year-old on the resume, his hair is half white, and he looks at least fifty.But he is in good spirits, and he doesn't look like he has committed any crime or served a sentence.

Then again, it's really not a big deal for officials in the Han Dynasty to serve their sentences.Unlike later generations, once a crime is committed, it means that the official career will be cut off. Many officials in the Han Dynasty recovered after serving their sentences, including Sangong Jiuqing and the like.

The reasons for this are very complicated, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad, but it is a fact.

Seeing Liu Xie looking at his hair, Wei Tao didn't hide it, explaining that his hair was white when he was serving his sentence.

At that time, the emperor was stationed in Wan County, and Tingwei Temple was also in Wan County. After he was sentenced, he also served his sentence in Wancheng. He witnessed the great changes in Nanyang after Dutian, and was greatly shocked.

"For a period of time, I lost all hope and felt that what I had learned before was wrong."

Liu Xie wanted to laugh, but seeing Wei Tao's expression, he held back.

Even at this moment, he could feel Wei Tao's despair at that time, the collapse of faith is indeed a very hurtful thing.

The stronger the faith, the more desperate it will be when it collapses.

"So, you opposed Du Tian at the time because you thought Du Tian was wrong?"

"Yes." Wei Tao said: "The small property of the minister's family is the result of the painstaking efforts of the ancestors. It is difficult for the minister to accept that it has disappeared overnight. He believes that this is tyranny, and he is unwilling to submit even if it is death."

"now what?"

"Now the minister still thinks this is tyranny."

"Oh?" Liu Xie glanced at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was very calm, smiling without saying a word.

Wei Tao went on to say: "But compared to the fact that the common people have no place to stand on and rise up, this can be regarded as the lesser of two evils. After all, when the Yellow Turbans robbed Jizhou, it was far better than saving the land."

Liu Xie smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a while.

He firmly believes that Dutian is necessary, but he cannot deny that Dutian is unfair to some people.A revolution cannot be without bloodshed. Under the tide, there are not a few small landlords like Wei Tao who have been accidentally injured.

But he is not a small landlord, not in his previous life, nor in this life, so there is no empathy.

So, to a certain extent, he ignores this group, seeing them only as an unavoidable price.

But for someone like Wei Tao, the price was too high.

Liu Xie pondered for a long time. "Did the counties handle the land fairly?"

"At that time, His Majesty was in Jizhou, and there were not many cases of false public affairs for personal gain."

Liu Xie immediately heard the implication. "What about after I leave Jizhou?"

"Fortunately, His Majesty picked a good governor for Jizhou, who killed decisively and saw clearly."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Sure enough, Yanzhao Duo is a martyr, even boasting so much.As long as I am narrow-minded, your Quanling order will be yellow before you get it.

Chapter 1214

Liu Xie chatted with Wei Tao for a long time, and listened to him talk about his mental journey in the past two years.

Then he understood why Yang Biao recommended Wei Tao as Quanling Ling.

This is a typical Jizhou person, he would rather bend than bend.

Just like the trial and match, Tian Feng.As long as you recognize this principle and know that you have no chance of winning, you will go head-on, even if you pay the price of your life for it.

I would rather die than admit defeat.

But once they turn the corner and realize their mistakes, they will not be afraid to correct them, have no psychological burden, and don't care about vanity.

This is completely different from the more flexible Central Plains scholar-officials.

Whether it is good or bad is hard to say, but Liu Xie still admires Wei Tao and believes that he will be a qualified or even excellent Quan Ling Ling.

Wei Tao was appreciated by Huang She, hired as a county official, and finally recommended to the Tufu because of his ability to handle affairs.

Wei Tao took office immediately.

He stayed in Quanling for two days, and after familiarizing himself with the relevant official documents, he took a group of county officials out of the city early in the morning on the third day.

Someone told Liu Xie that Wei County Magistrate did not travel like a county magistrate, but rather like a general, with a very murderous look, which made people frightened.This time, I'm afraid there will be blood.

Although he knew that such rumors were exaggerated, Liu Xie was still worried about it.Although Wei Tao has martial arts skills, he is not familiar with the terrain. If he is really ambushed by someone with a heart, he will die in any ravine and he will not be able to find him.

Just when he was considering whether to send someone to protect Wei Tao, the news came.

Wei Tao was attacked in the post house outside the city, and a fire broke out in the middle of the night, surrounded by bandits with nearly a hundred people.But Wei Tao remained unruffled in the face of danger. He climbed the building himself, shot and killed the bandit leader with a crossbow, and then loudly announced the new policies of the prefectures and counties, with a sound like a bell.

The bandit's morale was frustrated, so he fled at night.

After being in danger, someone persuaded Wei Tao to return to the county seat, but Wei Tao refused, saying that he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so that more people could see the county magistrate and understand the imperial government's decree and the emperor's will.

It is very important for those illiterate people to see the county magistrate himself and listen to the county magistrate's personal explanation of the imperial government's decrees.

Facts also proved that Wei Tao's move was very effective. Within a few days, everyone in and outside of Quanling City knew that the new county magistrate Wei was a ruthless person, and he couldn't be tougher.

People from Quanling are known for being barbaric, but Wei Tao, who came from Jizhou, was even more barbaric, which immediately opened up the situation.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and wrote to Yang Biao, saying that the Quanling Order you recommended is very competent and will be of great use in the future. I also hope that Situ Mansion can choose more local officials who are both civil and military.

"The mountain in front is Langjuxu Mountain." Zhou Yu pointed to the distant mountain peak and said to Kong Rong.

Kong Rong stood at the bow of the boat, squinting his eyes with disdain. "How far is it to Beihai? I'm not interested in feats like sealing wolves and living in Xu, but I want to see where Su Wu herds sheep."

Zhou Yu smiled. "Don't be impatient, Mr. Kong. After passing this mountain, turn into the tributary of Anhou River and go down the river. After a few days of walking, you will reach Beihai. After arriving at Beihai, we will stay for a while. You have enough time to see Su Wu herding sheep." You can spend the winter there if you want.”
