Chapter 109: Duel the Battle of the New Martial Arts
"Hahaha......" Gongsun Jian stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed: "What about the union? Could it be that I am still afraid of them. As long as we do not have problems ourselves, quickly resolve internal contradictions, comprehensively implement the new policy, and recuperate for a few years, it will be easy to wipe out the state of Wu and Qi at that time. ”
's words show the domineering spirit of Gongsun Jian at this time. And Shi Fangheng also had to be impressed by the majesty of his lord. If they can fully control all the lands of the Southern Han and Zhou Kingdoms, persist in implementing the New Deal, vigorously develop agriculture, commerce, economy and trade, and so on, within ten years, the Great Zhou will definitely become the most powerful country among the countries.
Within a few days, Feng Huaidao arrived in Shangjing, but in the face of many things that needed to be dealt with, even if Feng Huaidao had good ability and experience, he was tired and half dead. In the past ten days, Feng Huaidao and Shi Fangheng have continued to meet with people from all walks of life, and arranged various matters that need to be dealt with urgently. The whole person has lost a lot of weight. And Gongsun Jian saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say it in his heart, but he didn't want to go, and secretly sighed that there were too few talents available to his subordinates!
"Your Majesty, I think that some ministers of the former Zhou State can still use it. Otherwise, even if our hands are exhausted, we may not be able to complete these things. Especially now that there is a need for a stable situation, it is necessary for people with weight and ability to stand up and speak. Feng Huaidao suggested to Gongsun Jian with a bitter face.
Gongsun Jian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked Feng Huaidao: "Feng Shoufu, just say who you need." ”
"Your Majesty, your grandfather may be able to take on this task." Feng Huaidao truthfully said what he thought in his heart. After all, Gongsun Jian came from a public family, and Gongmo Han's influence inside and outside the Zhou State was not inferior to that of the old Yue Emperor at the beginning. But Gongsun Jian's thoughts are different, he knows very well what kind of family the public family is, and the interests of a group of nobles and nobles, if they are allowed to intervene, it is likely to have the opposite effect on his future rule and the implementation of the new policy.
After pondering for a long time, Gongsun Jian did not give a definite answer. Feng Huaidao insisted on the situation and had to retreat, while Shi Fangheng on the side also sighed and followed Feng Huaidao out of Gongsun Jian's study.
After sitting like this for a long time, Gongsun Jian finally chose to believe the words of Feng Huaidao and Shi Fangheng, perhaps internal stability at this time is the most needed result. According to the news sent back by the Intelligence Department, Wu and Qi are all ready to move, and many old aristocratic families in Zhou are contacting them, if Gongsun Jian can't handle internal affairs in a short period of time, it is likely that Wu and Qi will send troops to participate, and then the country that they have worked hard to fight will fall into chaos again.
After weighing the pros and cons, the next day Gongsun Jian changed into a plain clothes, only took Wei Meng and more than a dozen personal guards, and entered the capital in a light car, and came to the door of the mansion with a familiar family. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated gate, Gongsun Jian knew that this was the result of his own recruitment for the public family, and after thinking about it, he turned around and did not enter the warehouse gate, but went to the side gate where he walked when he first brought Gong Yu Wu back.
"Your Majesty, will we not go through the door of our own house?" Wei Meng on the side asked Gongsun Jian with some puzzlement.
Gongsun Jian smiled, looked at Wei Meng and replied, "Mengzi, our current identity is not suitable for going through the gate. Besides, I'm here in a private capacity, and I don't want to give reverie to those who are looking at the direction of the wind. So it's better for us to keep a low profile. ”
"Oh." Wei Meng nodded stunned.
When the group came to the side gate of the mansion, the news had already spread into the inner courtyard, and before they could reach the door, the side door of the mansion had already opened, and Gongsun Jian's second uncle Gongzhi was waiting there with his family.
"The minister has seen Your Majesty." As soon as Gongsun Jian dismounted, Gongzhi came up to greet him.
Gongsun Jian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help his second uncle, and scolded in his heart, what the hell, what about returning the minister, did I give you an official position? However, these careful thoughts Gongsun Jian didn't care too much, and said politely: "Second uncle, they are all from their own family, why be so polite." A few days ago, Aunt Miao took Cousin Qian Wei to visit me, and everyone was very casual. ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong, and now that you are in a great treasure, it is different from the past. The proper number of etiquette must still be observed. Gongzhi said with a serious face. Gongsun Jian didn't pay any attention to him, and asked rhetorically, "Can my grandfather and my father be at home?" ”
"My father and eldest brother are waiting in the middle hall, and I was specially ordered to greet Your Majesty, knowing that Your Majesty was seen returning home not far away, so I didn't go out to greet you, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."
"Oh, I said second uncle. Why would I make such a fuss at home? As he spoke, Gongsun Jian threw the horsewhip in his hand to the guards on the side and strode into the mansion.
Gongsun Jian's father, Gong Zhen, who was in the middle hall of the public mansion, was already waiting for him, but Gong Mohan was still sitting in the middle hall and did not come out to greet Gongsun Jian. Gongsun Jian also had no opinion on this. The old guy blindly supported me against the Yue Emperor at the beginning, but now that Lao Tzu is the emperor, he throws me face, it's nothing more than a person who doesn't reuse the public. Hehe, but do you see if there are people in the public who can use it?
After giving Gong Zhen a salute, Gongsun Jian came to the middle hall and asked Gong Mohan for peace. This was done on the right side of Gong Mohan's main hall. Wei Meng, who was on the side, stood behind him and muttered a little unwillingly: "Paralyzed, is the emperor or grandfather?" I have to ask Mr. Feng about this truth. ”
"Mengzi, what nonsense?" Gongsun Jian turned his head and glared at Wei Meng dissatisfiedly.
"Hahaha......" Gong Mohan laughed and said, "This general should be General Wei Meng, the commander of Yue'er's personal guards." Sure enough, he is a loyal man. It's a pity that this is in my father-in-law's house, Yue'er didn't come as the emperor, so it's still my father-in-law Mohan's grandson, so it's hard for me to kowtow to my grandson as a grandfather. ”
"That's your family's business, and it has nothing to do with me." Wei Meng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he understands that Gongsun Jian has always had a bad relationship with his family, so there is nothing to fear.
"By the way, that bullshit Nine Sons are not here. Dare to say that the princess of my family is a wild seed, and Lao Tzu will definitely break his dog's leg this time. Wei Meng looked at Gong Mohan and shouted.
Gongsun Jian's third uncle on the side twitched his cheeks, do you still remember this stubble after so many years?
"Bastard thing. Get the hell out of here! Gongsun Jian suddenly shouted at Wei Meng, and then turned his head to his grandfather and pleaded: "Grandfather, they are all fighting men in the army, and there is no etiquette, I hope you don't care, grandfather." ”
"Hehe, how dare I care. What if I turn around and someone leads troops to kill me? Gong Mohan said without yin or yang.
"I don't know what Your Majesty is here today? In a few days, my father-in-law will be moving. The government's notice has come down, saying that my father-in-law's income from the exploitation of the people's fat and ointment over the years must be returned. Then I would like to ask Your Majesty whether the public and private property of the 10 million taels of silver I asked people to send at the beginning is considered a people's fat and people's ointment. ”
Hehe, Gongsun Jian laughed secretly in his heart, the meat drama is coming. It seems that my grandfather still hasn't fully understood!
"Yes, this is what the government means, but it's a pity that I, the emperor, can't help it. In addition, the money mentioned by the grandfather, yes, the grandson used it in the first place, but it was only used for the public family to repay the suffering people. Now this foundation is also created in order to give the people of the world a future to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"So, my father-in-law has been sorry for the world all these years?"
"Almost, without the public family, maybe Zhou Guo wouldn't have been finished so soon." Gongsun Jian replied without giving up.
"Hmph, my father-in-law raised a white-eyed wolf." Gong Mohan slapped the table and scolded angrily: "If you don't have a public family, how can you have today's foundation." My father-in-law didn't ask you for anything. But now that you have just ascended the throne and captured the Zhou State, you will first take your own home. You touch your conscience and say it, is it my public family who is sorry for you or you who is sorry for the whole public family. ”
"I'm worthy of the world." Gongsun Jian stood up and walked to the door of the middle hall. Slowly turned around and looked at Gong Mohan, who was sitting in place, and said, "Grandfather, it's not suitable for me to quarrel with you today, nor is it a question of arguing with you about who is right and who is wrong." You're also a well-educated person, and you should be able to see the purpose of all my policies. Now I'll leave one sentence behind, there is still a position in the House of Representatives, I wonder if you are interested? In addition, I will leave some property in the public house, which is enough for you to live an ordinary life. This is also the last preferential treatment for those nobles. It doesn't matter if you really want it or not, my Gongsun Jian's butcher's knife is never short of blood. In addition, if the children of the public family want to become a professional, I welcome it, but they must pass the selection assessment, including my father. A few days ago, Qian Wei's cousin wanted an official position in the county, and I answered the same way, so far, my cousin's knowledge and knowledge are not bad, and I think it won't be long before I can take office. ”
After saying this, Gongsun Jian raised his feet and left the mansion, leaving only everyone in the middle hall in the dead silence. The words just now were Gongsun Jian's warning and ultimatum. He doesn't have any entanglements with the public family, and if he is obedient, he will still be a family, and maybe he will take care of it in the future, but if he still thinks about other thoughts, then I'm afraid he won't have any scruples about killing his own family.
was originally a good trip to visit relatives, but they couldn't get off the stage. On the way back, Gongsun Jian was also a little annoyed, but not all of this was his own mistake. How can everyone accept such an ending as the current one. originally thought that he had helped Gongsun Jian ascend to the throne, but when he turned his head, Gongsun Jian dealt with them like this, which really made the public family unable to figure it out.
Gongsun Jian left the mansion with the front foot, and Gongmo Han called the three sons and the grandchildren of the third room into the middle hall to discuss the matter. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Gong Mohan was struggling in his heart to make the final arrangement. It is true that Gongsun Jian ascended the throne, but he can't watch the Gongjia fall like this. In his eyes, no one is more important than the interests of the Shang family. Even if you're the emperor, you can't.
All the public disciples in the middle hall were waiting for Gong Mohan, the head of the family, to speak. Some of the grandchildren who have a good relationship are also whispering. It took a long time for Gong Mohan to cough a few times before he spoke: "Everyone must know everything about the outside world." The old man won't say much here. I have gathered you today to talk about the division of the family. ”
"Father." Gong Zhen was the first to speak,
"Father, you are still talking about the separation of the family, and besides, my family has never been divided since the founding of the Zhou State for nearly a hundred years, and there has never been a division of the family when I went out of some partial houses."
"Hehe, that's once upon a time. Boss, you don't look at the current situation, do you think your son can let our father-in-law go? If we don't destroy our family, how can he stand up in front of the people of the world? Gong Mohan scolded rather unhappily.
"It's not as good as persuading the old man. If you still want to leave something for the public family, then listen to the old man and start the separation today. ”
"Boss, after all, you are Yue'er's father, so I guess he won't embarrass you too much. You will stay in Shangjing, and if he will wave Linshui County as his new capital in the future, you can also go with him. If something happens to the children of my father-in-law's family, how much can you ask for a favor or something, although that kid may not necessarily listen to you. As he spoke, Gong Mohan looked at his second son, Gong Zhi.
