Chapter 402: Make a big fuss
The Han Dynasty was a feudal imperial society.
Liu Xian now has a great understanding of the hierarchical system of people in this ancient era, such as three, six, nine, and so on.
The supremacy of imperial power, from the magnates in the court to the scholars and landlords, and then to the ordinary people and slaves. In fact, there is a clear distinction between this class and the other.
In this Han Dynasty, they were generally illiterate and illiterate, and the hierarchical division between people has been deeply engraved in their bones.
Well, on the whole, maybe nothing. But if you do come into contact with it, you will find that the common people, for those who are higher than their status, will have a kind of reverence and fear that seems to be natural.
Let's put it this way, Liu Xian is actually really lucky, he crossed over to this guy with the same name and surname as himself. And this guy is actually a real Han clan relative. This, which has a little to do with the Han family, is actually equivalent to raising an identity and status in vain.
The original Liu Xian, because of this layer of identity, has no public relationship, and there is no aura bonus of this layer of identity. But that's the case, because Liu Mansion is indeed a different existence from ordinary people in Liulin Village, so even if there is no such identity aura, the people of Liulin Village already have a respectful attitude towards Liu Mansion. After Liu Xian crossed over, he exposed the identity of this Han clan relative, so Liu Xian was equivalent to having an extra halo of honorable identity, so that the people respected Liu Xian even more.
Then, Liu Xian ran into Wen Shen. This, to be honest, if Liu Xian didn't have the identity of this Han clan relative at that time, and was just an ordinary commoner, then Wen Shen probably wouldn't have paid attention to Liu Xian, so it would be impossible to have anything to do next.
And then? Whether it is Huangfu Song, Guo Dian, or Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, as well as Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Tian Feng, etc., if Liu Xian does not have the aura bonus of this layer of identity of the Han family, I am afraid that these people may not look at Liu Xian differently.
A person, even if he has the ability, has something to look at. However, it is difficult for ordinary people without status to get equal opportunities for other real powerful people or real celebrities to communicate on an equal footing.
Think about it, if Liu Xian was just a merchant boss of a caravan, would Huangfu Song meet Liu Xian? That's probably unlikely. A pure businessman, in this social hierarchy, has a lower status than the average common people. And Huangfu Song, who is already a pastor of Jizhou, and a general who is leading a large army to fight, how could he waste time meeting a young businessman?
Not to mention Cai Yong and Kong Rong, they are all celebrities, and under normal circumstances, they will definitely not easily meet a small businessman who is not old and has no status. Not to mention that Liu Xian can invite Cai Yong to Liulin Village and marry Kong Rong's daughter.
Of course, this does not mean that people like Huangfu Song, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Zheng Xuan and others are all people who hate the poor and love the rich and cling to the powerful, nor does it mean that they look down on ordinary people. Rather, such a situation is a norm in such an era, a natural and natural identity spacing.
They themselves may not consciously take the initiative to despise and despise ordinary people, but this is the norm in society.
This is not to say that this is an ancient era, and the post-modern ones are basically the same.
It is said that everyone is equal, but in reality, this can never be done equally.
The powerful are the powerful, and the poor are the poor.
In the postmodern era, a rich man is actually very loving and kind, and he never looks down on ordinary people. However, ordinary people, if they want to meet this rich man, want to talk to this rich man or something, it is really not so easy.
A rich man will definitely not reach any deal agreement with him because of the opinion of an ordinary person.
In this ancient era, such a situation is even more prominent, how can ordinary people easily see the pastor of a state? Like Liu Xian when he saw Huangfu Song, if he was just a small businessman, the people below him would be enough to send Liu Xian, how could he see Huangfu Song? How could he have reached so many deal agreements with Huangfu Song?
Saying this, it means that even knowledgeable people like Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, and Tian Feng are difficult to jump out of such a social norm. In their minds, imperial power remained supreme.
They have always lived within the framework of this whole society, and they still have a natural fear and obedience to the imperial power.
Zheng Xuan, the reason why he is reluctant to become an official and unwilling to be an official in the same dynasty as the traitor, in fact, he should subconsciously still be out of a natural fear of imperial power. The emperor favored traitors and engaged in fraud, he was at a loss, and he was powerless to fight against those traitors, so he simply did not enter this circle.
Tian Feng and Kong Rong, both of them resigned by themselves, and they were also afraid of the imperial power, because the emperor favored the traitors, and they themselves were powerless to fight against those traitors in the court, because those traitors in the court and China could use the imperial power to put them to death at any time.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. In their hearts, I am afraid that this concept has long been engraved in their bones. Traitors are in charge, and those traitors in the court, as long as they pay tribute to the emperor, they can easily put people to death. As long as the emperor decrees a holy decree, he can raid the family and exterminate the clan.
No one wanted to die, so they all resigned and left. Avoid persecution by traitors.
It is precisely because they all know the darkness of the imperial court and the danger of the capital, so they are extremely worried at this time, worried that after Liu Xian enters Beijing, he will be framed and killed by traitors in the court. What's more, they all know now that Liu Xian is now the person that the current emperor wants to eradicate.
However, now they can't persuade Liu Xian not to enter Beijing, because not entering Beijing is disobeying the holy decree, which is also a capital crime.
Emperors are no longer emperors, and they are all emperors. In their hearts, even if they are like Cai Yong, he does have a certain amount of resentment towards the emperor in his heart. However, he firmly believed that it was because of the traitors around the emperor who deceived the emperor and gained the emperor's trust that the emperor would not know the reason and would lead him to exile for half his life.
Cai Yong, Tian Feng, and Zheng Xuan are all loyal and upright people, and they are indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they will never have the idea of rebelling and overthrowing the imperial power of the Han Dynasty.
Because of this, they are now helpless in the face of this sudden holy decree to summon Liu Xian to Beijing, even if they are all wise people, but they don't know how to deal with it at this time.
If you talk about conspiracy, now the imperial court is using Yangmou, and the earlier holy decree first recognized Liu Xian's identity as the righteous son of Ma Guiren of the Plains Palace, and also gave Liu Xian. The imperial court first showed favor to Liu.
Then, under the pretext that Ma Guiren was seriously ill, Liu Xian was summoned to Beijing, in the face of such a situation, what else could they do? Tao Qiuhong said that Liu Xian used the big wedding to delay the time to enter Beijing, which will definitely not work.
Of course, if they, like Liu Xian, dare to truly defy the imperial power, do not take the emperor's holy decree seriously, and dare to rebel, then this is certainly not a problem. Just find an excuse, if you don't enter Beijing, you won't enter Beijing, and if the court wants to ask for guilt, then you will rebel. It's that simple.
But the point is that they don't think about it at all, they don't dare to think about it, and they don't think about it.
If Liu Xian really rebelled at that time, then they were afraid that they would run away as soon as possible, and it would be impossible for them to continue to follow Liu Xian.
Of course, for them, they are indeed very worried about Liu Xian. But for Liu Xian himself, he really won't be a matter of this for a while.
If Liu Xian didn't get the Taiping Sutra, didn't become a military general, didn't have a certain ability to protect himself, and didn't have the current situation, then Liu Xian would not have entered Beijing if he was really killed. If that is the case, Liu Xian would rather take advantage of Zhang Ning, the holy daughter of Taiping Dao, to take refuge in Montenegro Zhang Yan or Taishan Guanhai than to enter Beijing and lose his life.
But now Liu Xian is different, Liu Xian has reached this era, although it has been less than a year, but it has already developed, not to mention that it has developed very well and powerful, but at least he is no longer a person who can be manipulated by others.
If you want money, you have to have people, and you have a certain reputation. In addition, Liu Xian will definitely not be arrested, and he will definitely not bow down because of a holy decree that wants to take his life.
There is danger in entering Beijing, Liu Xian originally didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but Liu Xian was really not afraid.
In that case, let's go to Beijing.
Liu Xian couldn't help but smile at this time, and said to the people who were kind and middle-hearted: "You don't have to worry, you are just worried that after I enter Beijing, those traitors in the court will plot to kill me." However, am I, Liu Xian, the one who was so easily murdered by them? Even if it's the emperor, if he wants to put me to death, then there must be a defensible excuse, right? After entering Beijing, if I don't commit a crime, will I still murder me on trumped-up charges? Not to mention ......"
Liu Xian said, waved his hand and said: "This time in Beijing, let's make a bigger battle, and simply spread the reputation of our Liu Mansion caravan to Luoyang Capital." ”
"Oh? What are you going to do? Cai Yong hurriedly asked.
"Whether it is today or in the DPRK and China, the traitors intend to murder me. You can't come openly, right? Therefore, I simply made my entry into Beijing known to the world, and by the way, spread the reputation of our Liu Mansion caravan to the capital Luoyang. With the help of the Liu Mansion caravan, I will also become famous, so if the imperial court does not have a good excuse, then it will not be able to help me. ”
Liu Xian thought about it for a while, and then said: "Now we have made some new goods, although the quantity is not too much, but it can barely be put on the market. As far as today's situation is concerned, I'm afraid there is no place where Luoyang Capital is more flowery, right? Therefore, our new products should also be launched in the truly prosperous capital. That's one thing. The caravan of Liu Fu entered Beijing with me, and the caravan guards could stay in Beijing to protect me when they arrived, there were one or two thousand people and horses, I believe that under normal circumstances, no one would dare to secretly do anything to me, right? What's more, isn't there still Wang Yue secretly protecting? So, don't worry too much. ”
"That's right, we have the Liu Mansion caravan. The caravan of Liufu can travel to the capital, and in the name of the caravan guard, the people of the caravan escort can enter the city. Cai Yong's eyes lit up and said: "In the capital, there are one or two thousand Liu Mansion caravan guards, which is indeed an extra layer of security." ”
"Huang Zhong has not returned, if he returns, he can let Huang Zhong Zhuang accompany the young master into Beijing." Tian Feng said at this time.
"No, no, Huang Zhong has to stay and sit in our Liulin City. It has now been more than a month since the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro attacked, and it is very likely that they will attack again, and they must have a general in charge. It's a pity ...... "Liu Xian must leave Huang Zhong in his base camp." It's a pity that Liu Xian thought of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, at this time, they may have already left Anxi County, if two more super fierce generals are used for themselves, then they can take Huang Zhong into Beijing together.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked them to guard Liulin City alone, and the other went to Beihai to sit in the town, so that Liu Xian would not worry about the Yellow Turban Army attacking. It's a pity that there is a Liu Bei among them. made Liu Xian unable to get these two people.
In addition, Zhao Yun has not yet descended the mountain, and he doesn't know when he will wait.
Fortunately, now there is a super master like Wang Yue by his side, which makes Liu Xian a little more confident.
"Now that Qin is here, the holy decree is urgent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for Huang Zhong to come back from Beihai. So, I'm planning to leave as soon as possible. Liu Xian said.
"Indeed, this Qin sent Zhao He here, young master, you can't delay, so as not to tell the truth. So, young master, when do you plan to enter Beijing? Why don't you accompany Tian together? After all, in the DPRK, Tian knows some colleagues in the DPRK and China, and if there is something, he can also say a few words. Tian Feng said.
"No, not necessarily. Mr. Tian, after I leave, the main affairs of Yangshi County and Liulin City will be entrusted to you. In addition, the affairs of Liufu College and the printing workshop, my father-in-law, Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Tao, please take care of me. Of course, whether it is Yangshi County, Liulin City, or Beihai County, if there is anything, you can discuss it together and decide. As long as everything is beneficial to the people and our development, then whatever is good can come, don't be confined to one pattern. ”
Liu Xian explained to them.
"Okay, please rest assured, Aritian is here, and he will definitely develop Yang's County and Liulin City according to the original regulations."
"That's good."
Liu Xian naturally believes that they will run this base camp well.
Next, Liu Xian ordered people to prepare for this time to enter Beijing immediately. The main thing is that the Liu Mansion caravan has to act soon.
Determine the escort team of the Liu Mansion caravan, and then the goods it carries, as well as enough caravan manpower.
Liu Xian also considered the entourage around him.
Zhang Ning and Huang Wudie, Liu Xian planned to let them go to Beijing with him, because when necessary, they were also his strong personal guards.
