Chapter 24 Recommendations
The sun sets, Yuwen Wen, who was having a high banquet at noon, lay on the couch for an afternoon, and finally the alcohol was dissipated. The rice wine brewed by the locals at the banquet was not very powerful, but he had a lot of energy. Because of his many experiences, he controlled his degree today and was not drunk until he was completely drunk.
After drinking a glass of warm water, he got up and went to the yard outside the room for some breath. Looking at the morning glow, Yuwen Wen remembered his family far away in Xiyang. He had been out for half a year and he would not know when he would be able to go back.
Even if people were in Fanyu, Guangzhou, and sent a letter back to Xiyang with a carrier pigeon, and when they received the letters sent to the mansion by the messenger, they would have to be one month later. The so-called "war fires last for three months, and letters from home are worth tens of thousands of gold" is now truly experiencing the feeling.
The daughter-in-law should have arrived in Xiyang... Yang Lihua should have used the pretense of illness to avoid meetings. I think her identity will not be missed...
Those little bastards don’t know if they are naughty or not, will their ladies be so angry that they cry and thug their palms?
As he thought about it, Yuwen Wen missed home more and more. He was worried that his children might become unfamiliar with him, Aye, for a year or two.
"King?"
One person walked into the yard and saluted Yuwen Wen. When he turned around, he saw Wang Jun with a tired face.
"Ready?"
"Back to the king, you're ready."
After hearing Wang Xu say this, Yuwen Wen nodded and turned around and walked into the room.
It was a little dark, and the guards lit up the candles, cleaned up the room and left. There were only Yuwen Wen and Wang Wang sitting opposite each other through the desk. Yuwen Wen drank another glass of water, and then said, "Let's start."
"King, I think the king is really a big deal today."
"How can I see it?"
"Ning Mengli and others hope that the king would say good things to them in the court, and follow the old system, that is, the officials of the prefectures and counties were hereditary by local lizhi and cave masters. The king promised at that time, and thought that whether this matter was successful or not, it would be of no use to the king..."
Wang Jun joined the military office as a part-time officer, but there was no formal appointment, nor a salary. Therefore, he privately claimed to be "under" rather than "lower" or "lower position" in front of Yuwen Wen.
When Yuwen Wen met with officials from An, Huang, and Yuezhou County today, facing the request of Anzhou Governor Ning Mengli and others, he promised to make suggestions to the court, so that these places would continue to follow the custom of the state and county officials as hereditary.
Wang Jun felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate. Yuwen Wen was ordered to govern the military affairs of Lingnan, but in fact it was just a supplement to the position of marshal of the Lingnan Road, and would not really stay in Lingnan for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, Qi Wang Yuwen Liang would not sit idly by and watch Yuwen Wen feed mosquitoes in a smoky place. If you accidentally get infected, you will die in a foreign land. You must operate in multiple ways and find someone to come to Lingnan to replace him. Therefore, when Yuwen Wen is transferred to the north, the successor may not continue to abide by the promises made before.
Some promises, such as purchasing Shimi, doing business, etc., are good for the government and local slang masters, and the successors may not change, and the practice of supplying iron tools in moderation may continue, but when it comes to the hereditary inheritance of prefecture and county officials, it is hard to say.
This kind of thing is actually to weaken the imperial court's control over the local area. Although the Lingbiao is quite far away from the Central Plains and cannot be used to force the appointment of local officials in the Central Plains to lie on the Lingbiao, the imperial court will sooner or later solve this problem.
When the Chen State was destroyed, will the court's attitude become tough? Will Ning Mengli and others cancel the "power" of hereditary governor and prefect, and the court will send another person to the post?
Yuwen Wen is in Lingbing and can find ways to get the court to change its practices, but once he leaves, the successor may not care about this promise. At that time, the court will appoint officials to replace Ning Mengli and others. What will the other party think at that time?
"What do you think? I can't help myself. He is full of complaints, and I can't hear it!"
Yuwen Wen disagreed with Wang Jun's statement. He did not think that Ning Mengli would be so simple, nor did he think that he had been walking around in Lingnan. The handsome Li, the cave owner, and the rich chiefs were so excited that they were loyal and devoted to the Central Plains court.
Please, everyone is adults, and they rely on being able to fight when they come out. They are loyal and have more brothers. In fact, the key is to have money to support them. So after all, it is all about benefits. Why is it so stingy to say "resolutely"?
"King! I am just worried that there will be changes in the future. Someone will use this to attack the king, saying that the king accepted bribes from the rich and powerful commander of the Lingbing, deliberately instigating the enemy, and even raising his eyes for him, causing trouble to the riots!"
"I can just stay calm when I'm in Lingnan. This kind of attack is just to scratch the itch through my boots."
"King, do you remember the story of Ma Fubo of the Later Han Dynasty?"
"Ma Fubo did not have Aye, who was named king, to help him speak in the court, haha." Yuwen Wen smiled very much, and he didn't shout, "My uncle (Aye) is Yuwen Liang."
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sisters of the Jiaozhi Zheng clan rose up to resist the Han Dynasty's rule. General Fubo, Ma Yuan, who was over 60 years old, took the initiative to fight. After leading his army to pacify Jiaozhi, the old general also died of illness in the army, and the horse was wrapped in a body.
However, someone complained to Emperor Liu Xiu, which led to the robbery of Ma Yuan and the body was taken back to the capital. After the old friends and relatives did not dare to go to the Ma family to pay their respects, so their families could only choose a piece of land to bury him.
What is the problem? First, Ma Yuan accidentally committed a villain, and the villain used his personal revenge to file a lawsuit against the criminal.
Second, there are many rare treasures on Lingbing. When a powerful man saw Ma Yuan sending people to transport things at home, he thought it was a rare treasure on Lingbing and wanted to share some benefits. As a result, he was rejected and held a grudge. He was so worried that someone would falsely accuse him and put him in trouble.
What Ma Yuan sent home from Lingbiao was nothing more than a fruit called Coix. It can cure rheumatism and is not worth much money. However, he was falsely accused of plundering Lingbiao treasures and collecting them in private.
The powerful and powerful criticized that Ma Yuan's improper use of troops led to heavy casualties in the Han army, and the war was unfavorable. He also plundered money and enriched his personal pockets. The public verbal money made Emperor Liu Xiu believe it, which led to Ma Yuan, who was devoted to the country, being suspicious for no reason and was desolate after his death.
Wang Xu used this as an example to persuade Yuwen Wen because Yuwen Wen made a lot of noise in Lingbiao. Huangzhou merchants purchased numerous rare treasures in Fanyu, and transported them to the north in a truckload of rare treasures. This was so eye-catching.
Not to mention that Yuwen Wen inspected various places, talked about bilateral trade such as Shimi and other places with local lis and cave owners, and even promised to provide iron tools. Such behavior can easily make political enemies take advantage of the situation.
"Of course, King Qi will not sit idly by and watch someone use this as an excuse to attack the King. Maybe this matter will be suppressed, but the price that King Qi has to pay for this is probably not small..."
Wang Jun was very sarcastic, but Yuwen Wen was unmoved. He looked at the other party with a smile. He was going to use his vicious tongue, but he still held it back.
Wang Jun, who recommended himself, had a short time to join the gang and was not qualified to enter the small circle around Yuwen Wen and participate in the discussion of core strategies. However, Yuwen Wen was willing to give the other party a chance to show what he said in a paper way of talking about it.
Wang Sanlang was arrogant in front of Yuwen Wen, boasting that he had "strategic strategy" and "proficient in military tactics". Although he did not have the courage of a general among the troops, he had no problem leading troops to fight.
Yuwen Wen actually disagreed with such a confident person, but he really lacked talents, so he asked Wang Jun to accompany him so that he could take the first and second exams from time to time to see if the other party really has a "strategic vision" or listen to the other party's suggestions.
At this moment today, it was his exam for Wang Nao. Judging from the results...
"Jing Wen has said so much just now, but he just set up a trap for me to go..." Yu Wen Wen picked the cracks of his nails boredly, "This trap is too obvious, let's turn to the topic."
Wang Jun was a little embarrassed when he heard this. After coughing a few times, he said seriously: "Master! I don't know how to be with me. I suggest that the Master King can follow the story of Chen Baxian in the past!!"
