Chapter 169 Co-government by the Royal Family and the Gentlemen

Chapter 170 Co-government by the Royal Family and the Gentlemen

hateful!

This is the gentry of the Han Dynasty!
Disregarding human life, kill as soon as you say!

And it's a local parent officer!
It is strange that a big man can have a good result under the rule of this kind of gentry!

Cao Chong was furious.

Full of anger towards Sima Qiu towards the gentry.

"Take it down!" Cao Chong shouted angrily.

Suddenly, the school official, who was hiding among the common people, took off his coat to reveal the flying fish suit, drew out the embroidered spring knife, and controlled Sima Qiu.

The officials still wanted to resist, but their reaction was not as fast as the school affairs. When they reacted, the school affairs even controlled them.

"Cao Chong! Why did you arrest me!" Sima Qiu was very upset, feeling that he was insulted by a child.

Cao Chong was condescending, pointed at Sima Qiu and cursed, "Hmph! You still have the guts to ask!"

"You are the county magistrate of Jianxi County, but you used your power to annex the land with your family, and the people of Jianxi County became your free labor force!"

"So that the people don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, and some people have nowhere to go and become horse bandits. This is a crime!"

Cao Chong is determined to deal with Sima Qiu.

Not only to deal with the Sima family, but also to give justice to the common people.

Sima Qiu dared to kill people as soon as he said they would kill in front of his face, which is enough to show that Sima Qiu didn't do this kind of thing once or twice.

"Using power to oppress the people to stop my team, and trying to add crimes to me, this is a second crime!"

"Killing innocent people indiscriminately, disregarding human life, these are the three crimes!"

"According to the law of the Han Dynasty, it is enough to cut off your head!"

Cao Chong's eyes were full of murderous intent, if he didn't execute Sima Qiu today, how would he explain to the people of Jianxi County?

What's more, Jianxi County is now under the jurisdiction of Luoyang.

If Cao Chong doesn't deal with it well, his Luoyang order will be quite a failure.

Anyway, if you want to kill chickens to scare monkeys, let Sima Qiu do it.

"What are the school affairs!" Cao Chong shouted.

Cao Yan hurriedly got up, "The subordinate is here!"

"Chop off his dog's head!" Cao Chong ordered.

Sima Qiu became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Cao Chong, I'm from the Sima family, how dare you!"

The Sima family is a big family in Dahan, especially the Sima family in Hanoi County, which has a large number of talents.

The most famous ones are Sima Yi and his son and Sima Bada.

"Don't scare me with the Sima family, don't say you are a collateral branch of the Sima family, even if you are a direct branch, I will have your dog's head cut off today!"

Cao Chong even dared to clean up Sima Yi, let alone a collateral branch of the Sima family.

"Cao Yan, why are you still standing there, kill me quickly!" Cao Chong urged Chu.

Cao Yan pulled out the Xiuchun knife and walked towards Sima Qiu quickly.

Sima Qiu was so frightened that he trembled, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of terror.

But, just when Cao Yan was about to swing his knife and cut off Sima Qiu's head.

Suddenly, a strong voice came from behind the crowd, "Wait!"

In that split second, Cao Yan really stopped the knife in his hand.

call……

Sima Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted, "Father, save me!"

The crowd spread out to both sides to make way for an old fellow Sima Ping to walk in with his family members.

"Useless thing, look at your talent, you have completely embarrassed the Sima family!" Sima Ping scolded his son.

Sima Qiu had nothing to say, so he could only let Sima Ping insult him.

Cao Chong looked at this scene with a sneer smile, this Sima Ping was the one talking, and it would be difficult for him to control Jianxi County and Fulong County if he didn't handle it.

"Old man Sima Ping, I have met the young master." Sima Ping saluted Cao Chong after scolding his son.

Cao Chong sneered, pointed to the beggar's head, and asked, "Simaping, do you know this person?"

Sima Ping didn't look up at all, and directly asked and answered: "I don't know."

Old fox, you still pretend to me.

Hmph, even if you say you don't know him, so what, now your son is forcing the people to stop the young master, and killing innocent people indiscriminately in front of the young master.

Today, the young master insisted on his death.

"This is the beggar's tumor, the leader of the horse bandit, and I have killed him now." Cao Chong said.

Sima Ping responded calmly, "Oh, then congratulations, young master."

The old fox is really at ease.

"Don't congratulate me first, your son forced the people to recognize the horse bandit as their relatives, deliberately causing trouble for me, and after I saw it through, he killed innocent people indiscriminately."

"As the saying goes, the son of heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. As the magistrate of Jianxi County, your son actually despises the law of the Han Dynasty. As the Luoyang order, I will order him to be executed on the spot!"

Today's Jianxi County and Fulong County are both in the territory of Luoyang, and Cao Chong has power.

However, since Sima Ping is the patriarch of the Sima family in the two counties, he is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Young master, did you forget that my Sima family is a family of the big man." Sima Ping showed his force.

"So what if you know, besides, your Sima family is just a collateral branch of the Sima family in Hanoi County." Cao Chong dismissed it.

Sima Ping didn't get angry, instead he said sonorously: "So what, whether it's direct or collateral, it's still the Sima family."

"My Sima family has been active in the political arena of the Great Han since the time of Sima Qian, and made great contributions to the Great Han. Even now, our Sima family still has a place in the Great Han court."

This is true, not to mention Sima Yi's old silver coin, but Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, is serving as a cavalry captain in the court.

Sima Fang's father was the prefect of Yingchuan, his grandfather was the prefect of Yuzhang, and his great-grandfather was a general of the Han Dynasty.

It would be terrible to go further up, and some people were named princes.

It can be said that Sima Yi's old silver coin family is glorious. In this regard, the Cao family cannot compare with them.

Naturally, Sima Ping has the capital to be proud of.

It's just that Cao Chong doesn't admit it, the glory of your ancestors has nothing to do with you.

"What's the matter, I want to deal with Sima Qiu, and no one will stop me." Cao Chong shouted.

Sima Ping still didn't panic, and stared at Cao Chong with a contemptuous gaze, "Young master, don't forget that when Emperor Guangwu rebuilt the Great Han, did he say that the Great Han is jointly ruled by the royal family and the gentry?"

"Back then, without the support of the gentry, Emperor Guangwu would not have been able to establish a country, and the Han Dynasty would not have been able to continue. What's more, today's Han Dynasty would not have the support of the gentry."

"The court's taxes are paid by the nobles in the world, and the court's counselors are also provided by the nobles. Which of the court officials is not a noble!"

"Even many soldiers in the imperial court were provided by the gentry!"

"Today's gentry help the court control the economy, politics, military, and even land and population, and our Sima family is the best among the gentry, and our role is several times greater than that of these ordinary people."

"Young master, are you really going to chill the hearts of the world's nobles for a few rats?"

What Sima Ping said is also true. Since Emperor Guangwu proposed to rule the world with the gentry, all aspects of the Han Dynasty have been controlled by the gentry.

Leaving aside, let’s take Cao Cao as an example. Cao Cao’s counselors Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Chen Qun were all from the gentry, and Xun Yu, who helped Cao Cao govern the court and the rear, was also from the gentry.

Among the generals, even if Li Dian and Xu Chu were not gentry, they were local tyrants.

Without the assistance of these people, Cao Cao would not have achieved success.
