Chapter 21: Eliminate All Things (Part 2)(2/2)
"What does he have to be dissatisfied with?" Liu Yan asked with a sneer.
"He said that eight of his own sons and daughters were thrown to death by him in order to avoid being punished." Gongsun Xun said slowly. "And this is often the case in the countryside. Why was there no one at that time?
Are you saying that the nobles and tax collectors in the government do not know the nature of parents and force him to kill his children in order to survive? But when he throws someone else's baby to death, he will be executed? "
Liu Yan's expression changed drastically... Although he had been avoiding trouble in Yangcheng Mountain for eighteen years, he was a learned and wise man after all. How could he not know the truth behind this?
It is clearly recorded in the history books that the tax collectors collected taxes, and in extreme cases, they would even collect them dozens of times a year, so that the collection teams on the road were connected one after another... This must be a similar behavior, so the common people were forced to have a baby.
They didn't dare to raise them, and in the end they were forced to go into the mountains to become thieves.
However, what is even more frightening is that, as the thief said, others don't treat them as human beings in normal times, so once they cause trouble, how can they treat those noble people as human beings?
So what if I cook you? So what if I slaughter you?
At that time, didn’t you noble officials regard us as fish and meat? Didn’t they trample on us like mud? We were born like fish and meat, and we were born like mud. Do you still expect us to know etiquette and shame?
"I asked him where he was from and who the local tax collector was at that time. The county captain returned to protect his colleagues in the county and refused to answer." Gongsun Xun continued. "Because I was angry, he took it as an offense to offend me.
For the crime, I personally killed the county captain to vent my anger, and then punished the thief Kou Mingzheng... Later, it was precisely because of this that I met a thief who came from Montenegro to ask for surrender. Although I didn't like his character, I still
Keeping him employed is to tell these people in the mountains that I am not the same as others and am willing to accommodate them regardless of my background."
Liu Yan panicked and interrupted the other party: "Whatever your Majesty Handan wants to say, you can just say it to me. There is no need to say it anymore!"
"Uncle Fang!" Gongsun Xun knelt down and stood up, bowing to each other. "What I said over wine yesterday was really not a lie. The current situation in the world is that the people at the bottom have no place to stand, and they have no control over their survival. Maybe there will be someone like Chen Sheng or Wu Guang."
, the incident of Red Eyebrows and Green Forest; and then, although the powerful families are rich and powerful, they have no way to rise, and they have no respect for the central government in their hearts, just like the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the late Qin Dynasty, and like the powerful and powerful people everywhere under Wang Mang's rule. Once chaos breaks out
, I’m afraid it’s in danger of overturning!”
"Why do you say these things to me so many times?" Liu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Why don't you say it to others?"
"Because I know others don't believe it." Gongsun Xun sighed. "There are so many officials and noble people in the world. How many of them are willing to go to the countryside to check for dead babies like me every time I go? There are so many people in the world.
There are many talented people, but how many of them would put their minds on doing things instead of being an official like me? Therefore, I have never said these innermost words to others. And the reason why I want to talk to Uncle Fang
To be honest, I vaguely guessed yesterday that Uncle Fang is a truly conscientious person. There are few of you who are willing to believe my words, and there are also few who are willing to see with your own eyes the danger of this great man's overthrow."
Liu Yan was speechless.
"Uncle Fang!"
Gongsun Xun suddenly threw the knife that cut off his arms in front of the opponent, and then untied his upper body robe, exposing his chest and abdomen.
"What does this mean?" Liu Yan was stunned.
"I know that Uncle Fang must have been told by some people in the court to make things difficult for me when he came...Don't deny it...and I don't want to make excuses. It was me who killed the county magistrate.
The county captain I mentioned today was even more innocent and was killed by me! The power and responsibility of the governor are extremely heavy, so if you want to punish me, you can kill me now... I did not bring my seal and ribbon with me on this trip!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Yan jumped up from the seat. "How can we stop here?!"
"Mr. Qiao said that I am strong on the outside but tough on the inside, and my sharpness is the best in the world," Gongsun Xun, shirtless, protested solemnly. "There are also many people who say that I am like Mr. Qiao... But this is not the case! Mr. Qiao is indomitable, ups and downs.
But I can't bear the humiliation for a moment! Most of the officials in this world are mediocre and do nothing, and the few smart people only think about their own way forward and retreat. There are very few people who work as hard as me...those people
I have achieved status by doing nothing, but I have violated the ban because of doing things... Why?! Others don't understand this kind of thinking, even a conscientious person like Uncle Fang understands?"
Liu Yan was speechless and blushing. After a long time, he asked, "What do you want?"
"Simple." Gongsun Xun pointed the knife at his finger. "Seniors can be killed but not humiliated. Today, Uncle Fang may punish me for killing without permission. Now he will kill me with the sword to confirm the majesty of the Han Dynasty. I think there is nothing wrong with it!"
This is to show that I am capable in my actions, and travel to Wenzhou and County to make my name known and acquitted! These are just two methods, and there are vague and perfunctory arguments in between. I forgive you for not being humiliated!"
Liu Yan wanted to speak several times, but kept silent several times, while Gongsun Xun just held his head high and faced him with dignity.
After a long time, Liu Junlang's inner tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong finally broke out, and then he sighed deeply and leaned over to help him up: "How do I not know the grievances of the Handan Ling? People in the world are so frivolous and ridiculous. The Handan Ling is a person who is dedicated to doing practical things, so he
Will be discussed by them... I will go to Yecheng to take up my post today, and then tonight I will definitely send the document to the nine counties of Jizhou, letting everyone in the world know that what you have done is also what I, Liu Junlang, want! Handan... Zhao
The state-owned Wenqi is here, I can rest assured!"
"If so." Gongsun Xun, who had already anticipated this man's temperament, slowly put on his clothes and sword, and replied calmly. "After breakfast, I will send Uncle Fang and his son to Yecheng..."
"That's okay, that's okay!" Liu Yan really just wants to leave here now... Then what Wei Song said is true. Don't expect to get even half a cent from dealing with this carefree man. The other party is willing to leave behind closed doors today.
The clothes are already giving you face, what else do you want?!
After breakfast, Liu Yan bluntly said that he had made a decision on the affairs of Zhao State and was going back to Yecheng. Although everyone was confused and confused, they had no choice but to line up with Gongsun Xun to see him off.
"Wait until October." After sending the other party to the car, Gongsun Xun suddenly felt something in his heart. He took the other party's hand and smiled. "Uncle Fang can come here again to inspect... By then, the land and household registration should be checked.
It’s time for the public school to be built!”
"I hope I can have a good sleep if I come back then." Liu Yan held the other person's hand with one hand and twisted his beard with the other with a wry smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, with different moods. Immediately, Liu Yan's donkey cart, escorted by dozens of white horse knights, slowly headed towards Yecheng, dozens of miles away.
Everyone was speechless for a moment and still at a loss.
"Where is Dong Gongren?" After a long pause, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around, with a smile as bright as a flower. "You and I hit it off immediately, and since I have a concubine today, how about taking office one day later?!"
The short and fat Dong Zhao smiled innocently, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded quickly.
——————I finished the one-hour dividing line——————
"(Liu) Yan went to Jizhou to serve as the governor. He served secretly and secretly inspected everything. After returning to Ye, he sent letters to nine counties in a row, describing the situation of each county and country, openly and directly denounced the situation. At one time, dozens of people escaped from the seal and fled.
