Chapter 57
Although his two sons died in political struggle, Liu Xin's eldest son was still trusted by Wang Mang.
Liu Die was named "Yixuhou" and was worshipped by Emperor Yao, which also allowed Liu Xin and his son to give some explanation to their ancestors. Liu Die was also appointed as the "Shizhong and the General of the Five-Secret General" and often went in and out of the ban to be responsible for managing the robbery.
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Dei came home and came to report to his father about the selection of new foreign men. Last year, the imperial court defeated many county magistrates and county officials, and a large number of positions were vacant, so that hundreds of men could arrange for external responsibilities.
Surprisingly, Liu Xin, who never paid attention to these trivial matters, was worried this time, and asked Liu Die to pay attention to someone's whereabouts: the fifth relationship.
My father has been too concerned about Yang Xiong's disciples recently, and in his words, he seems to be implying that Liu Die is trying to do something in his foreign office in the fifth reunion...
Liu Xin was indeed doing something bad. After expressing his feelings to Yang Xiong that day, he had a sense of evil thought.
Yang Xiong, who wanted to never repent, watched helplessly. Liu Xin could see how his ambition-ridden poor family, under the pressure of reality, abandoned Yang Xiong's "pure and self-restraint" principle little by little, and began to climb up regardless of the price.
Liu Xin looked back on his experience. When he moved to the school, he was suppressed and driven out of the court. He went to Hanoi, Wuyuan, Zhuo County, and the commander of the Anding State. He changed four places in four years, and his official position became smaller and smaller, and he was finally relieved of illness. It was this experience that made Liu Xin decide to completely surrender to Wang Mang.
So he hinted his son to shift his fifth relationship away, and the more remote the county, the better!
For example, Jiaozhi (Vietnam), Jinghu (Guizhou), etc., the fifth reunion was beaten by reality, and ran to those remote places to cry without tears, completely abandoning Yang Xiong's style.
However, Liu Die only gave Liu Xin a letter, but it was written by the fifth reunion and handed over to the General of the General of the Five Characters.
"Lun kowtowed, and my brother was the eighth brother, and I was the best friend to be a horse. The county once said that he was filial and brotherly and polite. Now he was sitting in the law and moved far away to the West Sea. My brother was sick and weak, and was afraid of things, so he was in the Tao. Now he asked to redeem his brother's sins, so that he could reform himself. Lun was willing to give the seal of the foreign man and retire to the common man to compensate for the lack of money and food!"
Like the former Han Dynasty, crimes in the new dynasty can be redeemed. The price did not change much from the time of Emperor Wu of Han. They all spent 500,000 yuan to reduce the death toll, which was definitely not affordable by ordinary people. At that time, Li Guang, Zhang Qian and others went out to the frontier and returned empty-handed, and they should be killed on their crimes. If it weren't for this system, they would have died several times.
Two thousand stones are all the food that the Fifth Family and the Eighth Family can get together. The Fifth Family really invested a lot, just to save the Eighth Family from exile. In the cold winter, the mortality rate on the way was very high. But I heard that it was difficult for those who moved to the West Sea to atone for their sins, so I simply didn't want this man.
Liu Dei was quite moved by this, but Liu Xin was unhappy when he heard it.
"This child."
Liu Xin calmed down on his face, but cursed in his heart: "Like Yang Xiong, he has no future!"
In his opinion, this is the fifth reunification who is determined to follow Yangxiong's "Dangtu" path, and is unwilling to rise to the sky.
Liu Xin looked at his son without hesitation: "What do you think?"
Liu Die said: "I remember that when Emperor Xuan of Han was sentenced to death, my grandfather was also convicted of death. My grandfather was willing to reduce the households by 500 to atone for him, so he was relieved. Now the fifth republic would rather lose his official position than save my brother Zong. It is very similar to my family's affairs and should help him."
Liu Xin was stunned. Indeed, his father Liu Xiang studied "The Secret Technique in Huainan Pillow" when he was young, thinking that he could refine stones into gold, but he spoke big talk in front of Emperor Xuan of Han. In the end, the alchemy failed and he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Fortunately, Liu Xiang's elder brother, Liu Anmin, the Marquis of Yangcheng, stood up.
Otherwise, there would be no Liu Xin in this world.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin's anger disappeared a lot. People in this world would not feel bad about their brothers' filial piety and brotherhood. Besides, they would lose their official position and rush back to their hometown, which would be considered a lesson for the fifth reunion.
"Your Majesty has already said that the case of Wang Zong is not allowed to be redeemed."
Liu Xin knew that Wang Mang had always attached great importance to Xihai County, so he added 50 new laws in China, and anyone who violated them would forcibly migrate. Tens of thousands of mainland people were forced to travel far, just to enrich the West Sea and to keep it there in the rebellion of the Qiang.
"If you don't want food, don't have food. If you add an annotation after the book, you will be able to cut off the fifth official and offset the punishment of his brother!"
...
If you don’t come to the county residence and prison, the fifth reunion would never have thought that such a small place could contain so many people.
The officials and servants of Gong Chonggong Gong's Mansion and the families of Fengxin Gong Wang Xing were filled with small prisons. One person was in trouble and the chickens and dogs were in trouble. The most pitiful thing was the followers. Because Wang Zong pretended to be simple, he had never lived a good life. Now that the master committed suicide, he was all convicted of ineffective persuasion.
The entire county prison was filled with the smell of shit and urine. When the fifth reunion came in, he saw someone being carried out horizontally. He probably died of frozen to death last night. Fortunately, it was not the eighth reunion.
Following the little prisoner sent to him by Guo Hong, the fifth reunion walked through the aisle that was so cold that it was almost frozen. The prisoners on both sides wailed and pleaded with mercy when they saw people. The old man stretched out his hand from the wooden railing, and were beaten back by the prisoner with heavy sticks.
Finally arrived at the place, the prison door opened, and the fifth rein saw the eighth reincarnation in the corner, holding a stack of wheat straw in his hand. This was his only cold-proof object at night.
Wu Lun quickly stepped up and put his fur on Di Bajiao. He asked Di Bajiao to bring the hot soup he had asked for with the officials and feed it to Di Bajiao, which made him feel a little better.
Eighth Jiao shivered his lips, and when he saw the fifth reunion, he cried out with a wow: "Boyu..."
Eighth Jiao's mentality has gone through tremendous recurrence in the past few days. At first, he was full of grudges for Wang Zong. When he heard that the Lord committed suicide, he was struck by lightning and even had the idea of committing suicide and leaving with Wang Zong. The scholar would die for his confidant.
But when I was about to hit the wall, I was unwilling to accept it. I repeated this several times but still couldn't make up my mind.
Then he began to endure the torture. Although he had not been tortured, the eighth Jiao still suffered all these days, and was frozen and hungry, which was much harder than the two nights in the Wuweisiming Mansion.
Now I see the fifth reunion again, and the eighth Jiao muttered for a long time, only repeating "I was wrong".
When Boyu refused Gong Chonggong's recruitment, he shook his head at him, but he responded with a fever. Afterwards, Boyu didn't take Boyu's warning seriously and finally got in.
Bajiao suddenly remembered something: "Where is Liu Yuanbo? Boyu and Liu Long were also arrested, he..."
"It's time for me to worry about others." The fifth reunion was amused and crying: "Although Liu Long's surname is Liu, he has seven or eight brothers from Kun's father and brothers, all of whom are from noble families. He must have visited him early in the morning."
The fifth reunion covered the eighth reunion with a sheepskin blanket: "I've inquired, you will move far away from Xihai County tomorrow."
The West Sea is the Qinghai Lake in later generations. At that time, Wang Mang felt that there was already East Sea, South Sea and Beihai County in the country, and only one Xihai County was missing, so he sent people to lure the local Qiangnu to offer land. However, the Qiang people quickly rebelled. The war in the West Sea has been more than ten years, and it has become a wound that cannot be stopped in the bleeding in the Xin Dynasty. Wang Mang’s countermeasure was to not let in the inch of land, and he tried every means to send mainland prisoners to fill the pit every year.
After all, without the West Sea, his return to the world will be incomplete.
"It's thousands of miles away, and it's winter again. What you need most are clothes and shoes."
The fifth reunion put down a bag, which contained seven or eight pairs of winter shoes that fit together. I wonder if it was enough to walk to the eighth reunion.
"Also, your punishment is exempted, so you don't have to be humiliated. The escorted officials are also properly handled. If you walk with Liu Long on the way, you will get closer to him. Liu Yuanbo and Kong Wu are powerful and urgent, so that you can protect you from bullying. When you arrive in Xihai County, remember to write to tell your family that you are safe."
The so-called management is actually a promise to give the officials and soldiers a very cheap coal ball. The anti-corruption campaign continues, and no one dares to accept bribes during this period.
When I learned that moment, the fifth reunion would not have thought that I would have so many entanglements with the eighth reunion.
He could not have expected that the Eighth Jiao would raise a banner to ask for his orders, and he could not have expected that by chance, this honest man would be far away from his hometown.
The fifth reunion didn't tell Di Bajiao. In order to save him, the fifth and the eighth reunion had both come out. In the end, although the food was not paid, the fifth reunion's man was lost and has now returned to the common man's white body.
He didn't want the Bajiao to have too much burden. People's hearts are full of flesh. The fifth relationship is hypocritical to outsiders and to his own people, such as Yang Xiong, the Bajiao, Jing Dan, and Wang Long. He is willing to treat each other with sincerity.
The eighth Jiao was pessimistic and sighed: "I'm afraid that I can't survive after going there. I heard that the Qiang Rebellion in Jincheng has never stopped, and many people die every year."
Wu Lun scolded him: "I heard that Su Wu could live for more than ten years without clothing and food in the Xiongnu Beihai, let alone the places you go, at least the counties and cities. As for the same thing, follow Liu Long, you are both literary and military, and you are not a prisoner. Maybe you can still achieve great things in the frontier!"
He handed the still hot Hu Bing stuffed in his clothes to Di Ba Jiao, and Di Wu Lun gave him the last advice.
"Ji Zheng, if you survive, I will hold on for at least a few years, and I will definitely send someone to pick you up!"
"promise!"
Eighth Jiao bowed to the fifth reunion with tears in his eyes: "I listen to the sect leader!"
...
After Di Wulun left the county prison, it started to snow outside again, and the outside of the city was covered with whiteness.
"Mr. Lang, are you going back to the city?" Di Wufu angrily in his hands.
"No, go back to the fifth mile."
The fifth reunion is a little sad, and he is sad that the eighth reunion will embark on a road without knowing the prospects.
But when he lost his husband, he was not sad at all, but was very happy.
Chang'an is too dangerous. If you don't cause trouble, you will get into trouble. Instead of being frightened by the struggle, it is better to take a step back first.
The fifth reunion got on the horse and rushed to the north with a whip.
"The city is a trick, I want to go back to the countryside!"
...
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the fifth reunion passed Chengguoqu and entered Liewei County, and found a large group of people blocking the way at the intersection.
I thought it was my family to greet me, but when I got closer, I found that Jing Dan, who had not seen for several days, was the leader. Behind him were many big cars, as well as various tycoons wearing bear fur, fox fur or even tiger fur. Those who didn't know thought it was a gathering of beasts.
Most of those people, except for the familiar faces of King Yuan of Qiongcheng, he did not know them.
"Brother Sun Qing, this is..."
Jing Dan came over and said with a smile: "Boyu, I'll recommend it to you."
"This is Shang Fang Gong, a great hero in the west of the county."
Like the fifth, Shang Fang is a duplicate surname, which is also very rare. Shang Fang is wearing black bear skin, is quite old, with a long scar on his cheek, and nods to the fifth reunion.
Wu Lun heard of this person's name. It is said that Shang Fangjin was romantic and handsome when he was young... He had robbed his wife.
Then the bitter Lord bumped into him, drew his sword and slashed his cheeks. The scar became an indelible military medal.
Later, Shangfang banned the black and white traits and became a rich person, second only to Qiongcheng Hou and Xiao in Changling County.
"This is the hero of Yan County, Yangling."
Yangling Yan Ben was wearing tiger skin. He smiled and looked at the fifth reunion, which surprised him to be young. As a hero in this county, although Yan Ben is not as famous as Maoling, he is not small in power. However, now in the county, his fame has been suppressed by the rising star Xiaoyi Diwulang. Today, he will meet him.
"This person is also from Yangling County, and is the descendant of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, Zhang Yue and Zhang Zizhong!"
Wu Lun looked at Zhang Yue as a little white-faced, with a man-like appearance, wearing a fox fur, which was different from the previous two men's tyranny and full of scholarly spirit, which was very consistent with Zhang Liang's appearance in the legend.
After seeing the Fifth Lun and everyone, Jing Dan realized their purpose.
"What happened in Chang'an recently has spread in the county. When you hear that Bo Yu is willing to use the position of a Lang official to pay for the eighth punishment, they all admire him very much. They think that Bo Yu has insufficient money and food, so they come to deliver food."
That car is full of food!
The fifth reunion was a little awkward for a moment, and he felt that he was really the protagonist. He had to give money and food, so he only had to pay his respects.
Those who move far away from Xihai County are not allowed to redeem and relocate. Of course, they cannot take any grain of food, and they will be grateful for it later. Please take it back.
But he was able to gain the kindness of the local rich people in Liewei County, and his reputation was completely spread throughout the county, which reminded the fifth reunion of a sentence.
Lost the east corner, harvest the mud?
"This wave is not a loss!"
