Chapter 2050 Regret, the most important thing is to use it


    After sending Yi Ji away, Liu Qi supported himself like a puppet and returned to the room, and then leaned against a few desks and collapsed, feeling that all the strength in his body had been exhausted.


    Yiji did not seek an official position under the hussars like Yuan Shang''s Guo Tufengji, but said that he was entrusted by Liu Biao to take care of Liu Qi. In addition, Yiji originally had the demeanor of a celebrity and was good at talking, so even though he didn''t have a salary, he would eat at one house today and eat at another house the next day, and the gentry children in Chang''an would be proud to invite them, so they didn''t have to worry about food and drink. .


    Liu Qi appeared relaxed in Feixiongxuan, as if he didn''t care about anything, but in reality, his nerves were still tense, and his thoughts were also in Liu Biao''s place. Now he suddenly received Liu Biao''s message, It was like a string that had been stretched for a long time suddenly broke, after all, it was somewhat painful and helpless.


    "Father..." Liu Qi couldn''t help crying in a low voice, "Father..." with a sad voice.


    Liu Qi knew that this time, home was gone.


    Yuan Shang didn''t know what happened, but saw Liu Qi plunge into the room, frowned and thought for a while, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, hesitated outside Liu Qi''s door, didn''t go in, just knocked on the door frame.


    『What is it? ’ asked Yuan Shang.


    Liu Qi bowed his head and wept, "The lineage of King Lu Gong... this is absolutely, absolutely..."


    Yuan Shang was taken aback, absolutely? What is dead? Is it possible that you are going to commit suicide? "Why are you doing this? Why not succumb to humiliation? 』Isn''t it easy to let go of seeing you, so why can''t you think about it now? Could the situation be worse than it is now?


    Liu Qi shook his head, snot and tears flew all over the place, "Cao thief went south, Sun thief went north, Jing, Jingzhou was attacked on both sides, ah... father... my son, my son is not filial..." I didn''t think it was so great when I owned it, but now I suddenly know It hurts so much when you lose it.


    Yuan Shang was silent.


    Yuan Shang didn’t pay much attention to Liu Qi before, except that Liu Qi didn’t pay much attention to appearance. Of course, it’s related, but the important point is that Liu Qi still has at least one old man who has not fallen, while Yuan Shang has nothing left, even his retainers have abandoned him.


    And now, Liu Qi has become the same as himself...


    Yuan Shang sighed, walked into Liu Qi''s room for the first time, and moved a little closer, wondering if he also thought of his father, or thought of his own experience, his eyes were full of water, as if he was falling: " Your and my lives are obtained from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How can we be wasted if we survived by chance under the sword? Now your father''s life and death are unknown, most of the luck...Even if it is true...you are the only one in King Lu Gong''s family, how can you not cherish it? 』


    Actually, what Yuan Shang said that only Liu Qi remained in the lineage of King Lu Gong is not entirely correct. After all, Liu Biao was not the only one who claimed to be the successor of King Lu Gong.


    …


    Yuan Shang frowned again and again, but finally endured it, closed his eyes, raised his head, he heard Liu Qi''s crying, but thought of Jizhou in his heart, returned to Yecheng, seemed to have heard Yuan Shao''s kind call, and couldn''t help crying And down.


    『Father...』


    …(ㄒoㄒ)/~~/(ㄒoㄒ)…


    "Father! This, this is absolutely impossible! 』


    On the other side of Chang''an, there was another person calling him father, but the tone was a little different.


    『Why? ’ Wei Duan asked.


    『Thinking about the Xue family...』 Wei Kang gritted his teeth and said, 『Even if the son of the Xue family is dead, his crimes cannot be erased. How can he take care of the family business for him? ! 』


    Whether the son of the Xue family deliberately lured Wei Dan into a dangerous situation is now unconfirmed, but after all, it was caused by the son of the Xue family, so from that time on, Webster hated the Xue family, and naturally it was impossible to help The Xue family.


    『This is the order of Hussars! ”Wei Duan said in a deep voice.


    Wei Kang was stunned, "How did the hussars know about the Xue family?" 』


    Wei Duan said: "The hussars inspected Tianhe, and when they arrived at Li''s place, they saw the ruins of Xuejia''s fields, so I asked..."


    After a long silence, Wei Kang asked: "My lord, could it be that...the Hussars did it on purpose..."


    Wei Duan glanced at Wei Kang, but did not answer immediately, because he also had doubts, but after a while, Wei Duan said: "If this is the case, there should be no delay... Let Kang''er handle this matter, and Hugh will be talked about by others... 』


    Wei Kang was a little helpless, but he still took orders.


    With his hands behind his back, Wei Duan walked around the hall, thinking as he walked.


    Feiqian''s attitude towards the Guanzhong gentry has always been to win over and suppress. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. If it is replaced by anyone in a superior position, it will basically do the same, but Feiqian also has other rulers. The difference between them is that some of Fei Qian''s concepts are not quite the same as those of others. It can even be said that Wei Duan and others'' concepts can be refreshed almost every once in a while, which makes Wei Duan and others quite overwhelmed.


    It''s like Fei Qian''s "Theory of Sipping Fragrance" in the festival hall a few days ago, which Wei Duan still can''t understand. Logically speaking, none of them lost money. After all, the foreign debts of the four families have been eliminated. But from another point of view, the money has not been earned. After all, there is no accommodation, and the money has been returned...


    "Unfathomable..." Wei Duan sighed and shook his head. Now that Hussar General Fei Qian has power all over the world, Wei Duan naturally has to think more about it.


    This is not only the cognition of Wei Duan alone, but also the entire Guanzhong gentry group basically thinks so, so when facing such a lord, sometimes I really feel that I am weak and powerless, For a while, I thought I had caught up with him, but when I looked up, I only saw a figure from the back...


    So this time Fei Qian asked Wei Duan to do the task, and Wei Duan must do it well.


    This is the consciousness of the inferior.


    Now General Hussars has confessed two things to Wei Duan. One is to prosecute those who say "emphasis on agriculture" but actually don''t pay much attention to it. The other is to let Wei Duan help Help Xue Shi.


    Although General Hussars Fei Qian said that he would "severely deal with" those who verbally "emphasized agriculture" but did not actually do anything, but when Wei Duan asked about it, he said that Wei Duan could figure it out, so in fact this The thing is that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and it will not deliberately hit a large area...


    On the contrary, Fei Qian seemed to casually ask Wei Duan to deal with the Xue family''s affairs, but specified what to do specifically. Then it was not a general talk, but Wei Duan had to do well.


    If you look at two things together at the same time, it will have a different charm.


    Could it be that Fei Qian is not satisfied with the Guanzhong gentry?


    After all, most of them were originally excluded from the imperial court, and they had always reported to the group to keep warm. As a result, they got a little better now, and they began to intrigue again, such as letting the Xue family decline...


    In addition, the matter of "emphasis on agriculture" also represents a warning. Hussar general Fei Qian may not really do it this year, but if it is said...then the Xue family...could it be...


    Wei Duan could not help but shudder.


    『General Hussars...This is really...』


    …щ(Дщ)…


    『General Hussars... Really...』 Sima Hui shook his head and sighed, "It''s hard to guess..."


    Sima Hui originally had some complaints about Hussar General Fei Qian. After all, he thought he should be his own "advising doctor", but it fell into the hands of Zheng Xuan. This made Sima Hui, who had been fighting against Zheng Xuan for almost a lifetime, somewhat unhappy.


    Sima Hui also thought about the matter of admonishment before, but felt that "Advising Doctor" was originally the position of an elder in Fei Qian''s family, and Fei Qian might not be willing to take it out, so he didn''t mention it after much deliberation, but it turned out that Zheng Xuan Grab a head start...


    This, isn’t it me first?


    Logically speaking, Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, should have the demeanor of an outsider, and doesn''t care about these secular positions, but in reality, he is like those goddesses and gods who are beautiful every day. The toilet doesn''t **** anymore?


    The Sima family was born in a family of Confucianism, but the status of the Sima family in Hanoi has never been very high. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that it was regarded as the peak. Before that, the highest position was only in the early Han Dynasty, and it was the "Yin King" conferred by Xiang Yu. That''s all.


    Moreover, this "Yin King" has only been in the Sima family for more than a year...


    Sima Yi''s father, Sima Fang, had the highest position as Jing Zhaoyin. Going back further, most of Sima''s family were prefects, and then there was a general who conquered the west, and he committed suicide...


    The name of the so-called Sima family is indeed not ranked among the best in this year.


    Therefore, among the Sima family, there is Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, Ren Dafang''s birthday, or gathering with friends, or singing songs and playing the piano, pretending to be a celebrity, and even refusing to be recruited, posing as a hermit. Historically, after Cao Cao completely controlled the north and fought all the way to Jingzhou, Sima Hui "reluctantly" followed Cao Cao.


    Of course, it doesn’t matter whether all of this is in line with the trend of the times, or trying to survive in troubled times. Anyway, after Cao Cao’s rule, the Sima family slowly squeezed into the circle of aristocratic families and became the head of the Jizhou aristocratic family in Hebei. represent…


    Sima Hui said to Sima Fu: "In all dynasties, it has always been the same as the upward. The style of clear talk is prevalent in the world, because it is what I like. Now the people in power are hussars, who place the most emphasis on meritorious service and avoid talking about it. Those who are incompetent and without merit cannot gain a foothold in Guanzhong. Therefore, if you want to prosper the Sima family, you must follow the trend of the times. If the trend is exaggerated, he will be indulgent. If the trend is strict, he will do things..."


    To put it bluntly, he just followed in the footsteps of Hussar General Fei Qian.


    For a long time, Sima Hui has always talked about success and failure. He became famous by relying on talking. Now he wants to let go of this reputation. One is used to it for many years. Even if he understands it for a while, it is not easy to let go. The second reason is that Sima Hui feels that he is old after all, and he should give more opportunities to younger generations. As a result...


    Sima Fu frowned, somewhat unable to understand what Sima Hui said. "Uncle''s meaning, now that the times are changing, is it more rigorous?" 』


    Sima Hui laughed and nodded, "Have you ever understood the theory of hussars drinking incense?" 』


    『Gold and silver loan? ’ Sima Fu said, ‘It’s nothing more than the rotation of money and the elimination of debts...’


    "wrong. 』Sima Hui shook his head.


    Si Mafu couldn''t understand, "Dare to ask where is the mistake?" 』


    Sima Hui said with a smile: "The theory of hussars focuses on "use"!" 』


    "use? ’ Sima Fu repeated.


    『Exactly…』 Sima Hui looked at the distant sky and said, 『This is what distinguishes hussars from others...』


    The chaos in history can be attributed to these incompetent descendants of the Sima family, but it can also be said to be caused by the overall ethos of the gentry, that is, the evolution of the style of talk from the high-level people in the late Han Dynasty.


    In the early Han Dynasty, that is, the Western Han Dynasty, it was very practical at the beginning. However, since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, Qingyi has become the standard for judging whether a person is good or bad. At present, the scholar-official class has used Qingyi to praise and criticize people, influence public opinion, criticize current affairs, and compete with eunuchs for power. The "disaster of the party''s imprisonment" has caused many people to suffer heavy blows, and even their families to be ruined.


    However, Cao and Sima''s coquettish operations made Cao and Sima somewhat suspicious of improper positions after they came to power. Therefore, both Cao and Sima used high pressure to control these discussions, and the methods were also very cruel. Gradually discounted the backbone of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, but all capable and threatening people were killed, and the rest were those who dared not talk about government affairs, and could only pretend to be crazy, indulge in indulgence, or pretend to be stupid , absurd and uninhibited.


    At the same time, the Jiupin Zhongzheng System has been reduced to a tool of monopoly, and the more those who try to gain fame, the more they will get high positions. These fame-seekers have been able to step into the center one after another, control the government, and act from top to bottom. Naturally, the atmosphere between the government and the opposition has become increasingly exaggerated, absurd, hypocritical, and pretentious.


    And now look at Hussar General Fei Qian, from the beginning when he came out of the Northland until now, many things reflect the principle of "practicing what you have learned". Fei Qian will basically reuse the "practical" route. On the contrary, if it is mainly about talking, it will not get many high positions...


    For example, Sima Hui himself.


    At the same time, because of the fact that the second-rate families in Shanxi who were originally excluded from the land, compared with the gentry in Shandong, although there are some bad habits of talking about high opinions, the contamination is not too deep, and it is easier to accept Fei. This set of latent models, coupled with the current chaos in the world, turned to work, and began to radiate outward from Guanzhong, bringing more "practical" style.


    『Tomorrow you will go to the Hussar General’s Mansion and be a book assistant...'' Sima Hui looked at Sima Fu and said, ''I thought that with a certain reputation, I could help you a little bit, but now it seems that it is a delay...』


    『Shu Zuo? 』Si Ma Fu couldn''t help curling his lips, somewhat feeling that this position is a bit small.


    Shuzuo is the assistant official who organizes the exchange of documents. Also known as Menxia Shuzuo, the position, under "掾" and "Historical", even ordinary Caos also have Shuzuo under their command, and because this position is abolished by the chiefs themselves, it is simply an ape Among the temporary workers, they say that there is no grade in grades, and that there is no job in job titles, and they are nothing.


    『Stupid! How could Sima Hui fail to see what Sima Fu was thinking, and suddenly his face sank, and he said in a deep voice, "Hussar''s secretary is different from the others!" In daily life, you can join the military. If you are lucky enough to show your mind, you can take on great responsibilities! Have you never seen Zhuge Kongming? 』


    At first, everyone didn''t have much impression of Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang''s performance a few days ago showed a sharp and sharp appearance, with a small body, somersaults, and a coquettish appearance, and he didn''t even touch the ground first, so he naturally shook his arms all at once , and now he has become the temporary affairs officer of Jingzhou refugees, the chief official. Although this position can be seen at first glance as a temporary low-level official, everyone knows that as long as Zhuge Liang does not make any big mistakes, it is obvious that he is already stepping on his feet. Entering the management circle, Zhiri has been promoted...


    In comparison, although Sima Fu said that he was supported by Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, and received praise from many people, he didn''t have much chance to stand on the stage.


    So this time, Sima Hui felt that he couldn''t just wait like this, and it was also obvious that if he pretended to be an outsider with General Hussar, he might really become an "outsider"!


    Besides, Sima Hui is not the only one who said "really fragrant" in front of the hussars, isn''t there also that old immortal Zheng Xuan...


    『Don’t procrastinate! ’Sima Hui stared at Sima Fu, and said emphatically, ‘Go tomorrow! You also need to be cautious in your words and deeds, and break the Sima family style! 』


    『Only...』 Sima Fu saw that Sima Hui was already a certainty, so naturally he could only nod in response.


    At this moment, I suddenly heard some commotion and noise outside the manor.


    Sima Hui frowned, and looked at the confidants who were serving on the side. His confidant knew it, went out to check for a while, then came back in a hurry, and said with some panting: "Patriarch, huh, there is a daughter of the Xin family outside, and she wants to sacrifice it to the hussars..."


    "what? Xin''s daughter? 』Sima Hui was stunned for a moment.


    The area where Mr. Shui Jing lived was originally occupied by no one, and there was no farmland developed. Later, Sima Hui saw that the scenery here was beautiful, so he asked Fei Qian to report, and then planned to build a village. Later, some people built some houses and manors around the hills one after another, and even started to reclaim wasteland. Among these people, there is naturally the Xin family.


    『What is Xin going to offer? ’ Sima Fu asked.


    『It is said to be sweet sorghum...』


    『It’s the new plant on the hill near Xin’s Manor? ’ Sima Fu asked again.


    『Uh…』The confidant servant got stuck, how did he know this.


    "Go down..." Sima Hui ordered, then fell silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and said, "Look, even the Xin family has gone ahead... If you pick and choose again, I''m afraid... let''s forget about today. There is no need to join in the fun, you will go and see tomorrow how this "sweet grain" is...』
