old grace

Xie Qinghe made a good plan, the world is initially settled, and the war will stop, so we can discuss the establishment of the capital of the new dynasty, and ask Master to sit firmly at the back.

——For specific things, he and Fu Chuan should do a good job, and the master only needs to be a good mascot.

He obviously underestimated Shangguan Shiyi's disgust for governing the world.

Shangguan Shiyi's whole life has been based on the scripts of sword-wielding people outside the world. He is neither a saint nor a wise king.

The reason is simple, Shangguan Shiyi has his own concept of right and wrong, very strong and rigid, unable to tolerate and compromise with anyone.He himself is smart and outstanding, and his combat power is extremely strong, so he can't empathize with "stupid idiots".This caused him to be unable to tolerate adultery at the top, and stupidity at the bottom. The villain should be decapitated, and the idiot deserves to suffer. Ah, looking around the world, Yu Zilulu is here to make trouble!

The checks and balances and compromises that a monarch should have, the sympathy and benevolence for the ignorant and poor at the bottom, are rarely seen in the time of being an official.

This kind of ideological conflict hidden in the bones cannot be completely avoided by Xie Qinghe taking over the bamboo slips and not having to deal with them personally by Shangguan Shiyi.Chen Qi is a very versatile and "accepting advice" lord. Not only can he fight on horseback, but also the governance of all the cities under the Chen family's rule and the coordination and balance of internal forces are all gathered in Chen Qi. Can't play.

Xie Qinghe helped deal with all the military and political affairs, but he still had to give a briefing to Shangguan Shiyi, so that Shangguan Shiyi knew what to do.Otherwise, how should the Shangguan answer when the martial arts come and go to ask about things?This can't be done by Xie Qinghe.

Shangguan Shiyi lived almost two hundred years old and had his own set of standards for people and things. Xie Qinghe's handling may not satisfy him.

To put it bluntly, according to his standard of handling things, he is simply dissatisfied with everything!

"I haven't sat on the throne of the emperor here yet, and I haven't asked people to worship three times and kowtow nine times, and shout long live the mountain. He has raised an eunuch instead."

"You would rather find him a step down, 'The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. If you don't want slaves and maidservants to be domineering, why would you throw away your children's lives and rebel?' , 'His family's children rushed into the battle, and have a record of meritorious service'..."

"Zhao Xi, he is a soft-footed shrimp who can't ride a single horse. Every time a team fights, he will nest in the carriage behind the formation, and he has to ask two carriages to stand by. In case this one breaks down, he He can’t ride a horse, he can’t walk yet, and he hates that it’s unseemly for a domestic slave to carry it on his back! When there was a fight ahead, he just asked the domestic slave to fight to the death, so as to get promoted. Does he have meritorious service? Drive the first domestic pig and put it on the cart Everyone can have meritorious service!"

"Without him, a soft-footed shrimp who can't ride a horse, wouldn't I be able to fight? Is my family dying?"

"I can't kill him yet?!" Shangguan Shi Yi said angrily.

Xie Qinghe was so trained that he didn't dare to look up, feeling helpless, he could only lower his head and smile wryly.

Shangguan Shiyi has never been angered much in his life, his way is very simple, he hates evil like an enemy, and does everything he can to get rid of evil.

This matter is a letter from someone who complained, saying that the Zhao family in Anzhou bought eunuchs on a large scale. First, the Zhao family bought male slaves for castration, probably because they did not have experienced hands to take care of them, and the death rate was very high. The Zhao family opened up a second channel. Directly buy castrated men.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in Anzhou, and many poor families sold their extra children to the Zhao family for money.Some villains who are reluctant to bear children, or who have no children at all, simply start a business of robbing and kidnapping in order to obtain this sum of money-even adult men are beaten suddenly, and they are sold to The Zhao family's experience as a slave.

The Zhao family was not a native of Anzhou. After Chen Qi conquered Anzhou, Zhao Xi was sealed in Anzhou and was in charge of civil affairs.

Not being a local wealthy family, but also being so domineering, of course it caused a lot of resentment in people, and bamboo slips of complaints poured in one after another.

However, what the bamboo slips came to sue was not to accuse Zhao Xi of abusing the people, but to accuse Zhao Xi of arrogance.

In the world, only the emperor's harem is qualified to use eunuchs.To some extent, the emperor is not considered a human being, and has completely different moral standards from ordinary people.There are 1 reasons for the emperor to use eunuchs, and it is cruel and immoral for ordinary people to use eunuchs.

In short, eunuchs became the privilege of the royal family.

Ordinary people's use of eunuchs is the same crime of usurpation as hiding the emperor's crown, entering and leaving the nine vehicles, and building a high platform at home.

——For the aristocrats of this era, the bought slaves are like weeds in the house, and they can take care of them however they want.If you like it, you can raise it, or you can break it off and plant it in a flower pot, or you can kill it with a knife... Zhao Xi was never sued for abuse.

All the complaints back and forth were presumptuous and disrespectful, alluding to Zhao Xi's disobedience.

It's either that Shangguan Shiyi doesn't understand the truth, or he just doesn't recognize it.When the world is too prosperous, Shangguan should have an angry heart.

Xie Qinghe knows Master very well.Scolding is scolding, and it is advisable to say what you say when you are an official.Since he said to leave everything to him, he wouldn't try to tear him down in a different way.It's fine if you've been scolded, but you can't ask Master to hold back, right?

Fu Chuan had never seen this scene before.

The master who has always been gentle and loving towards the elder brother turned his face and cursed at others, and the elder brother did not dare to raise his head, but it was not the elder brother's fault.

He stood aside and dared not speak, feeling very sad.

Shangguan Shiyi scolded him for a while, Xie Qinghe just lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be dead, so he scolded him for being lonely.

"Every day, what a mess!" Shangguan Shiyi threw the bamboo slips back onto the case.

Xie Qinghe noticed that when the master threw the bamboo slips, the younger brother seemed to be frightened, and his shoulders shrank slightly.

Scared the younger brother.

Shangguan Shiyi was obviously still in the anger of "not being able to eradicate evil at will", and he might not be able to stop for a while, Xie Qinghe felt a little regretful that he brought his junior brother here today.He has been with Shangguan Shiyi for many years as a teacher and apprentice, and the conflict of ideas is not once or twice, and he has long been used to it.But where did Fu Chuan see such an enraged master?

Seeing that Shangguan Shiyi was about to start spraying, Xie Qinghe usually obediently waited for him to finish spraying, but now he suddenly took a step forward.

"Father." Xie Qinghe knelt down, "Calm your anger."

Shangguan Shiyi instantly misfired.

The reason why he lost his temper at Xie Qinghe so much is because the master and apprentice are usually close.His anger was not directed at Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe also knew this, after spraying it, he thought about whether he could have both, if it didn't work, he would follow Xie Qinghe's method, what else could he do?

Now that Xie Qinghe ran out and knelt down, it was like jumping up to catch him.Is it strange?

Fu Chuan, who had been standing in the corner, followed closely, knelt down next to Xie Qinghe and bowed his head, his shoulders were locked tightly, as if he was very nervous.

Shangguan Shiyi understood.Scared the little apprentice.

He waved at Xie Qinghe: "Go, go, oops."

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan got up, and Fu Chuan secretly looked at Shangguan Shiyi's face, and before leaving, he tidied up the messy book case that he had thrown bamboo slips into a mess, and didn't dare to say anything, and respectfully bowed his knees again, not daring to pull Xie Qinghe's hand obediently withdrew.

After stepping out of the gate of the main hall, Xie Qinghe took Fu Chuan's hand, and Fu Chuan also lowered his head.

"You also know it's not aimed at me." Xie Qinghe pinched the ear of the younger brother, "The old man is not really angry."

"En." Fu Chuan agreed.

Xie Qinghe was very helpless, how to explain this?Shangguan Shiyi really lost his temper, he is not the nagging appearance he is today.

After returning to the side hall, Fu Chuan was still holding Xie Qinghe's hand, not letting go.

"Brother, are you tired? Do you want to bend over for a while?" Fu Chuan pulled Xie Qinghe to sit down on the couch, and bent over to help Xie Qinghe take off his shoes. He was very attentive and caring, and seemed to care about Xie Qinghe's emotions.

Xie Qinghe held him in his arms and pinched his face with his hands: "I'm fine. I'm not reprimanding me."

"I wrote the report on how to deal with Zhao Xi." Fu Chuan was very guilty, thinking that his own handling opinions had offended Master, "Today I was supposed to kneel down to listen to the training, but I asked my elder brother to be scolded by my father instead. "

Only then did Xie Qinghe realize why the junior brother was nervous, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not for you."

Fu Chuan's voice was a little choked, and he whispered: "In the future, if I do something wrong, you don't have to protect me. I'm young and humble, so it's nothing to be reprimanded by my father, brother..." Recalling Xie Qinghe's scolding He didn't dare to look up, he was really too sad, "If it wasn't for my shallow knowledge and doing something wrong, brother wouldn't be troubled by me."

"Then you see, my father cursed people and said he was going to kill Zhao Xi. Why didn't he say a word when I wrote the reply? And why didn't he force me to take back the Patriarch's order that I sent out and change it to his own?" Send out your thoughts again?" Xie Qinghe hugged him on his lap and spoke.

Fu Chuan originally thought it was because Shangguan Shiyi kept his word, and he agreed earlier that Xie Qinghe would handle everything, so he wouldn't go back on what he said.

However, when Xie Qinghe deliberately raised this point, he felt that it was not so simple.

"He actually doesn't think that I made a mistake?" Fu Chuan asked.

"It's just two different ways of dealing with it. It's not that if the old man is right, you are wrong. If you are right, the old man is unreasonable."

Xie Qinghe coaxed Fu Chuan into a smile, let Fu Chuan relax, and continued: "You and I both understand the truth, how can Father not know? He knows it all in his heart, but he has spent his whole life in the world to judge good and evil, and suddenly he wants to enter the world , rule the world, and return to the troubled world with the 'all beings' whom he looks down on, the set of rules he has always insisted on makes him not quite used to it."

The main hall of Ziyang Palace has become the actual center of power in the world, and none of the news that appears here is pure.

Previously, all the prefectures under the rule of the Chen family were in charge of their own stalls, mainly obeying the dispatch of the Donglou shogunate and being directly responsible to Chen Qi.The garrisons in various places are under the direct control of Chen Qi.In fact, this is fragmented, and the entire Chen family does not have a unified vertical power system.

After Shen Yu became Minister of Agriculture and the news of the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture in Qingzhou, all forces began to move around.

The world is about to be settled, and the imperial court will soon take shape. Three divisions and nine ministers, the core of power, who doesn't want to get a share of the pie?

At present, there are roughly four forces within the Chen family.

In addition to the old surnames of Xiangzhou who started with Chen Fu and fought for many years, there are also the surnames of Shanyin who "returned" to join the army in the early days such as Wang and Zhao. There is no organization on the outside, and the foreign surnames are savages who rub together secretly to keep warm.

Xiangzhou's old surname is the backbone of the Chen family, and it is also the old book that Chen Qi inherited from his own father.

In order to successfully win the heir of the Chen family, Chen Qi used Shan Xugang as his weapon.Shan Xugang broke through the siege with his combat power, overwhelmed many arrogant soldiers, and firmly controlled the overall situation.Chen Qi also abolished Chen Ji with this, and took over the power of the Chen family as a bastard.

This is also the most powerful force of the Chen family at present, with Chen Qi and Shan Xugang sharing the control, they control nearly [-]% of the troops under the Chen family's rule, and this is the only way to support Chen Qi's unambiguous statement.

The surname of Shanyin is the old "own people" who surrendered during the Chen Fu period, represented by the Zhao family in Wucheng and the Wang family in Yongcheng.

Tian Anmin, a famous scholar in Yongzhou, is also Tian Wen's biological father. He was once the mastermind of the Zhao family in Wucheng.At that time, Chen Fulian and his former master were paid under his command.Anzhou Mu Zhao Xi, who was sued this time, is the son of Tian Anmin's former owner, Zhao Xiang, and the current head of the Zhao family.

The Zhongzhou aristocratic family was more miserable. They adhered to the principle of "joining if you can't beat the world". Unfortunately, they caught up with Chen Fu's heyday when he was conquering the world. dignity.

The best way out for the children and students of various families in Zhongzhou is in the East Building, and Bai Zhifeng came from this force.

……

All these forces are plotting their interests after the war.

Regardless of Xiangzhou's old surname, the soldiers are strong and powerful, and they are all relatives of Chen Qi's confidantes.It is impossible for the Chen family's military power to be handed over to someone with a foreign surname.

The Sanyin surname, which holds [-]% of the soldiers and horses of the Chen family, and the Zhongzhou family, which almost seized [-]% of the seats in the Donglou shogunate, were torn apart loudly.

In addition, there are "foreign surname miscellaneous barbarians" swaying left and right like weeds on the wall, and the situation is very complicated.

It was the old surname forces of Xiangzhou who came to sue Zhao Xi for usurping the eunuch, but Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan didn't believe that there was no Zhongzhou aristocratic family operating behind it, and there was no foreign surname interfering with it.

Fu Chuan's statement was very clear, and a more decisive treatment of Zhao Xi at this time was tantamount to announcing that "message can be fought".

Therefore, his suggestion is to warn Zhao Xi in writing, request Zhao Xi to stop acting rashly immediately, and impose a fine of [-] catties.

For the Zhao family, two hundred catties of gold was not a big punishment, but a warning.

This is an obvious political statement.

——Now is not the time for civil war, so it is not allowed to criticize each other.

As for Zhao Xi's bribery of eunuchs... the aristocratic families in this day and age don't have many good things, and the generals of the Chen family are the same.

Zhao Xi deserved to die for buying an eunuch, and Shan Xugang deserved to die for killing slaves and offering sacrifices to heaven?During the famine, Xiwen ordered that the old and weak in the city be treated as vegetables, should they die?When Chen Fu was alive, he used the skin of Jianu to make drums and bones to make mallets. Should he die?Even Zhan Xuanji almost killed his concubine unjustly to quell the incident. In this era, once a person holds the power of life and death for a few more people, the probability of not being a beast is extremely low.

According to Shangguan Shiyi's moral standard of "punishing rape and eradicating evil", Chen's humerus can be chopped off [-]% by himself.

Xie Qinghe said that all the prosperity in the world are for profit, and the reason is so simple.

There are very few people who are born with the aspiration to be saints and help the world, and most people strive to climb up, isn't it just to be a master?

Shangguan Shiyi understood this truth very well.However, asking him to jump into the mundane world and coexist with most "mortals" who want to climb up, and asking him to be the emperor to govern this group of "mediocre", forced to compromise and witness injustice, Shangguan Shiyi felt extremely aggrieved.

Just like what he said to Xie Qinghe, would the world perish without him?I'm going to kill him!

...just talking, and I can't really do it.

"His old man has never joined the world, he has no choice but to take the morals of the world, and he doesn't want to join forces with others." Xie Qinghe explained to Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan said after a while, "I really don't know Father well."

Shangguan Shiyi seldom meddles in worldly affairs in this world, and only focuses on eliminating demons. He also does not allow the disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect to meddle in other people's affairs. Fu Chuan always believes that the master strictly abides by the school rules and has no interest in power disputes in the world. .

Only now did Fu Chuan understand that it was not that the master was not interested, but that he was trying to control himself not to kill people.

Not following the moral standards of the Hanjiang Sword School to "execute punishment" in the secular world, killing the secular world to the point of bleeding with a light snow gun is the last tenderness that Shangguan Shiyi left for the "mediocre".

"However, it's quite uncomfortable to go on like this." Fu Chuan still felt a headache.

Shangguan Shiyi's moral standards cannot be compromised with the secular world, so he called Xie Qinghe to scold him when he was upset.Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe both understand and are used to this method of "decompression". Fu Chuan is young and has never seen this kind of battle, especially he couldn't stand the elder brother standing with his head bowed and being scolded.

Xie Qinghe patted his head and said: "You are so frightened that your face turns pale. My father knows about it, and I won't lose my temper in the future."

Fu Chuan also scratched his own hair, a little embarrassed.

After solving the problem of senior brother being scolded, he immediately worried about his master: "Then it's not good for him to be so angry all the time." After thinking about it, he turned his head and asked Xie Qinghe, "Why don't I go to be scolded later, Anyway, I wrote the report, and scolding me is considered wronged and owed."

Xie Qinghe was almost amused by him, and it was rare for him to tease Master once: "He has been angry for 200 years, not a few days away."
