Huan Rong

Solar eclipses have always been regarded as a bad omen.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, in the past 200 years, there have been continuous natural and man-made disasters.

In the fifth year of Taihe, Sima Yi was abolished, becoming the first emperor to be abolished in the history of the Jin Dynasty.

In the same year, catastrophes occurred in both the north and the south, and the food harvest failed, and the court's relief was insufficient, which led to bandits and bandits everywhere, and starvation everywhere.Regardless of Jiankang, Chang'an or Yecheng, life is difficult.

Since Qin Ce ascended the throne, there has been almost no year of good weather in the north.

Droughts and locust plagues occurred frequently, and grain harvests failed or even failed year after year. The policy of encouraging land reclamation became a show.Even if there is land, it is useless to the common people if no food can be grown, or if there is no harvest after planting.

In July of the sixth year of Taiyuan, after a few years, Tianlong Eclipse was born again, and folk rumors arose.

In connection with the natural and man-made disasters this year, Qin Ce's reputation plummeted again, and everyone in the Chang'an court was not spared.Qin Jing, Qin Yu, etc. were also involved, but before the rumors became popular, they were already suppressed by the news of Chang'an and Qingzhou, and finally failed.

Various rumors were mixed, and in the end, people's attention was still on Qin Ce.

The civil and military officials of the imperial court were apprehensive, because the timing of the solar eclipse was too coincidental, and associations would inevitably arise.

At that time, people believed in immortals, gods and ghosts, and powerful officials were not exempt from vulgarity.

In consideration of their own safety, those who dared not speak up before now came forward one after another, asking Qin Ce to spare Tang Gongluo's life.At the same time, in order to clear the name of the emperor's lack of morality and cruelty, we should strictly investigate the murder of the entire Tang family and the burning of the ancestral hall.

In short, gossip cannot be ignored.However, it is better to be blocked, and it is better to admit the mistakes made before, so as to try to restore the hearts of the people.

The tragedy had already happened, and Qin Ce, as the emperor of a country, couldn't get away from it at all.If you want to save your reputation, you can only push out the perpetrators, so that the rebels have a channel to vent their anger.

Acting in this way, it can be inferred openly and aboveboard that although God sent down punishments, not all of them were aimed at the emperor, but more of a warning to several tyrants, so that the object of anger would be diverted.

There are more and more people on the list, among them, there are those who really want to save Tang Gongluo's life, and there are also those who follow the crowd to fish in troubled waters.Taking the opportunity to fan the flames, there are also many people who want to avenge themselves.

With the efforts of several parties at the same time, the Chang'an court formed a voice: Tang Gongluo cannot be killed!

Qin Ce went to court every day, whether he wanted to or not, everything had to be discussed once.

Under the general situation, it is absolutely impossible for him to act arbitrarily.If the decree is forced to order Qin Jing to send troops to Qingzhou to take the heads of Tang Gongluo and his followers, he will definitely be called a tyrant and lose the hearts of the people.

However, Qin Ce was not reconciled to let him let go.

No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Tang Gongluo rebelled.

If it is not punished, does it mean that as long as there are extenuating circumstances, the rebels will not move their heads?

What should I do if I meet an ambitious person again?

This is taboo for rulers!

Just when Qin Ce hesitated, a letter arrived in Chang'an.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Qin Ce's face was gloomy, and his brows were so wrinkled that he could kill a fly.

It turned out that during the court's hesitation, Tang Gongluo had already handed over the city he occupied, and rushed to Changguang County with his confidants and trilogy.

Because of the disguise and the cover of the common people, the counter-insurgency army failed to find out.Qin Jing didn't write a letter until he appeared in public, and Qin Ce, who was in Chang'an, got the news.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, and regardless of whether Qin Jing deliberately let people go, in short, it is an undeniable fact that Tang Gongluo led people away and handed over all the cities where the rebels were stationed.

Tang Gongluo made a public appearance in Changguang County, and released the news that he could not bear the people to suffer another military disaster and gave up the army.And with great fanfare, someone sent a letter to Qin Jing and Chang'an, stating clearly that if he could spare the people of the three states, he would hand over the head of Xiangshang.

As the news of this move spread, Tang Gongluo's reputation as a hero became even more prosperous.

Without waiting for Qin Ce to make a statement, the fleet docked in Qingzhou sent people to express in person that if Tang Gongluo was willing, the fleet would welcome him to Jiankang and donate money and food to the people of Chang'an and the three states.

Save people, donate food.

The two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is not a gift of food, it is clearly to exchange money and food for Tang Gongluo's life!

Huan Yi personally came forward to prove that the news was true.

The story was passed on from ten to ten, and everyone said: the emperor in Chang'an is innocent and stupid, but the emperor in the south cherishes good talents, and he does not hesitate to pay money and food to save a surrendered general, and he does not hesitate to bear the responsibility of cunning and taking advantage of others. reputation.

As for Tang Gongluo's banner of "Voting to Jiankang" when he raised his troops, it was directly ignored by everyone.Even if someone mentions it, it is only circulated in a small area.

The people in Sanzhou and even Chang'an thought that Huan Rong was righteous.

In contrast, Qin Ce didn't just fail, he simply succeeded.

Qin Jing, who led troops to suppress the rebellion, should have been blamed together, and even bear the brunt of it.

At this time, the prefect of Yanmen County stepped forward and counted all kinds of Qin Jing's commanding troops to the south, and some famous elders in Bingzhou and Qingzhou came forward to say that Qin Jing's army was extremely strict, and the army did not commit any crimes in autumn.Villages and towns that encountered food shortages would even use military rations to help them.

The prefect of Yanmen County went all out, not caring about Chang'an's reaction.

The officials and generals of Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou were even more united and twisted into one rope, invisibly enshrining Qin Jing as the king, and instead put Qin Ce aside.

There is one biggest advantage of doing this, Chang'an is very cautious, and he never dares to settle accounts if he is not completely sure.

In the land of three states, the gathering of civil and military officials and the people of the three states must not be underestimated.

Although the rebellion subsided, hidden dangers always existed.Once something goes wrong, it is not impossible for the flames to rekindle.

After all, when Qin Jing entered the army, there was almost no decent resistance from the counties.Some of them will still put on airs, and many of them will directly surrender to the city.

This move preserved the source of young and strong soldiers to the greatest extent, and preserved the foundation and strength of the three states.

The imperial court wants to settle old scores, unless it replaces and kills the civil and military forces of the three states, and forcibly suppresses the people.The result of doing so, let alone Qin Ce, would be unbearable for anyone else.

When the matter developed to this point, Qin Ce finally realized that he had stepped into a pit from the very beginning.He thinks he has everything in his chest and wisdom in his hands, but in fact he is pretending to be smart, and falls into a trap unknowingly, and the development of the matter has long been in the hands of others.

In the end, I followed the plan of others step by step, until I fell into the bottom of the pit, and there was no possibility of climbing out.

And it was not only the imperial court in the south who did this, but also his own son!

Qin Jing didn't give Qin Ce a chance to make a comeback, and the third form was sent quickly, including the replacement conditions proposed by Huan Rong, which were listed one by one after the form, without missing any items.

It should be known that Huan Rong wanted to take away not only Tang Gongluo, but also his counselors, including the latter's family.It is impossible for Changan not to care about such a big move.For things to go smoothly, Qin Ce must express his opinion.

The development of things here is basically a foregone conclusion.

Tang Gongluo's head will definitely be saved, and the counselors and tribes who followed him also found a way out.

In the end, it depends on whether Qin Ce can save face and accept the food and gold and silver sent by Huan Rong, so as to gain some practical benefits.Or, in order to win a sigh of relief, they resolutely refused, and instead performed a play with a lot of voice and emotion, trying to save some reputation.

For Qin Ce, the best way to deal with it is to take the initiative to let go of his dignity, issue an edict to clarify the past, and deal with those who murdered the entire Tang family.He also issued a decree to pardon the three states, called Tang Gongluo back to Chang'an to give him preferential treatment, and re-entrusted him with important tasks.

Regardless of whether it is going to be empty in the future, the face must be done now!

In fact, Qin Ce did so.

Such as enlightenment, and instant enlightenment, Chang'an issued three edicts, pardoning Tang Gongluo for his crime of rebellion, and summoning him to return to court.

It's a pity that Tang Gongluo once made great contributions to Qin Ce, but in the end his family and clan could not be preserved. He was so cold towards Chang'an and devoted himself to Huan Han.No matter how many orders Qin Ce made, he remained unmoved.

Huan Rong knew Tang Gongluo's intentions, without any hesitation, he ordered to put away the market on the pier, and asked Tang Gongluo and his party to board the boat, and head south as soon as possible to return to Jiankang.

Before leaving, he did not forget to unload the food at the pier, and told everyone that the people in Qingzhou were struggling, and the food was distributed to the local people.

"How does this make it?"

"Old man, don't worry, the grain and grain are not all given away. King Langya sent someone to send several boxes of gold and silver, all of which will be used as grain money. Besides, there is also grain and grain sent to Bing and You."

Hearing this and looking at the grain piled on the pier, everyone was shocked beyond words.

With this matter in mind, Qin Ce's actions to save his reputation became insignificant.The people praised Huan Rong and Qin Jing.

The three prefectures of Qing, Bing, and You are united, and everything is at Qin Jing's disposal.Some people even said that if King Langya ascended the throne as emperor, it would be great.

Knowing what happened, Qin Jue, Qin Yu and Qin Yu sent letters to Qin Jing one after another, asking about the cause and effect.

Qin Yu, who was in Pingzhou, and Qin Jiu, who was stationed in Xihe, and his son were also there. Qin Yu, who was far away in the West Sea, also sent people to ask Qin Jing what to do next, whether to recruit young and strong as soon as possible, Take precautions against Chang'an.

At first glance, the actions of the brothers seem a little headless.

However, if you look at the map, you can find that the states and counties currently controlled by the Qin brothers are comparable to the territory of Murong Xianbei when he founded the country.Now we have to add the land of Sanhan, as well as the enclaves of Xihai and Bailan, which already have the capital of self-reliance.

With money, soldiers, and the hearts of the people, as long as Qin Jing is willing, he can rise to the top at any time and fight against Chang'an.

"Bring a letter to brother, it's not urgent."

"Tell brother, keep Xuzhou and Luozhou well, and don't rush forward."

Qin Jing's replies were sent out one after another, and Qin Jun and others felt relieved when they received the reply.

"This is brother."

If Qin Jing really stood on his own at this time, the Qin family would be torn apart from within, and a big battle would be unavoidable.The northern land is caught in the flames of war, and it is always the people who suffer.

Qin Jiu handed Qin Jing's letter to his son and asked, "Ah, do you understand the true meaning?"

Qin Yue pondered for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Father has the hearts of the people in the world, and he is truly a hero of the world."

Qin Jiu was suddenly heartbroken.

My brother is not here, but my own father is right in front of me, opening my mouth "Father" and shutting my mouth "Father", is it possible not to feel overwhelmed?

"Father?" Qin Yue looked at Qin Jiu with a puzzled, innocent expression.

"……nothing."

Qin Jiu shook his head, swallowing bitter water into his stomach.I didn't realize at all that his son had long been on par with his brothers, good at embarrassing others, and his belly was unusually dark.

Taiyuan six years, September

The imperial fleet came back from the north, stopped at Yandu for half a day, and then continued southward, all the way to Guangling.

Guangling was under the rule of Xi Rong.

Knowing that the fleet appeared at the port, Xi Rong didn't say a word, he didn't have time to prepare the car, so he ordered his servant to bring the horse, stepped on the stirrup, and jumped on the horse's back.

With a jerk of the rein with both hands, the horse turned around and galloped straight to the port.

The hem of the long-sleeved clothes fluttered, and the fairy style of the early years was not seen, but another kind of wanton and unrestrained.

Going back to five years ago, Xi Rong is definitely not what it is today.

But there is a cruel father, with an old servant as his eyeliner, who dares to talk about taking drugs and not doing business, and the letter comes right away.

Every time Xi Rong holds a letter from Xi Yin, the back of Xi Rong's neck feels cold, and the cold air goes straight to the top of his head.

Xi Yin is the prime minister of the current dynasty, so he cannot leave Jiankang easily.As the governor of Qingzhou, Xi Rong guarded Jingkou all the year round, and rarely went to Jiankang except for New Year's Day and the emperor's call.

Therefore, the number of times that father and son meet is very small.

But it is precisely because of the small number of meetings that Xi Rong has cold hands and feet.

The majesty has never said anything false, and he said in the letter that the family law is served, and he will never discount it in the slightest.Because the chances of family law are infinitely reduced, every time Xi Yin makes a move, he accumulates a lot of strength, which will definitely be deeply remembered by Xi Rong.

After coming down several times, how dare Xi Rong talk about drug use, for fear that his own father will hear the news and come to serve him again.

Thinking of Xi Chao, who was an official to Zhongshu Ling, Xi Rong became more and more envious.

If I had known, he would also be rebellious like his elder brother, even if he was disliked by his own father, he would always be able to avoid a few family punishments.

Regardless of what Xi Rong thought, the fleet docked at the port, and Huan Rong and his party walked onto the pier, planning to stop in Guangling for two days.After the river boats are ready and the gold and silver goods are loaded, they will go up the waterway and try to return to Jiankang before the end of the month.

When they first arrived in Guangling, Tang Gongluo and others were inevitably surprised.

Everyone is well-informed, but seeing the wharves of Yandu and Guangling, compared with Changguang, the shock is not small.

Compared with the former, Changguang is more than a star and a half behind.

Not to mention the ordinary port buildings, just the wooden elevated racks erected in front of the port, the nooses that can easily pull up the cargo boxes, and the carts that can be pushed by manpower are enough to open the eyes of everyone.

Without seeing it with my own eyes, who would have thought that these seemingly simple tools could play such a big role.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Huan Rong silently looked up at the sky.

With the group of master craftsmen in Gongshu Xiangli, there are only things you can't think of, and nothing you can't do.

Seeing the noose mechanism pulled by water power and human power, Huan Rong had no doubts at all, not limited by conditions and materials, these few people can make both cranes and forklifts.

Based on the above, the academy can completely "expand enrollment", and the Wei Jin version of "XX Technical School" is expected to be released in advance.

impossible?

Put out the farm tools produced in Youzhou, look at the newly made farm vehicles, and have everything for sowing, transplanting and harvesting.

When people in the future see it, they will probably think that someone has timed time... Well, he is a time-traveled person, and he has definitely flapped his wings a lot.But Huan Rong dared to assure the sun and the moon that he knew at most Qu Yuanli about the "advanced" farm tools, and he was blind to others.

For the R&D and innovation of several master craftsmen, we can only be amazed.

The Chinese nation has never lacked creativity, and we must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Huan Rong has a very real experience of traveling through time.
