Chapter 389: Family Affairs
The Jingzhou army's offensive became more ferocious, almost at any cost to attack Wancheng, the pressure to defend the city was increasing, and the wounded soldiers sent down from the city every day were much more than before.
Yesterday received the news sent back by Zhang Liao, Zhu Sheng and Cui Geng both knew that Liu Bei was in a hurry, and wanted to attack Wancheng first before Zhang Liao broke through the interception, so although the battle was fierce, the generals in the city were very stable, everyone knew that at this time, it was to see who couldn't hold it first, the main forces on both sides were attacking and annihilating, they had the advantage of strengthening the city, but what did Xi'e have? Although the terrain is dangerous, it is not a fortified city, nor is it invincible.
At this time, they didn't have to defeat Liu Bei's main force, as long as they held out longer than the Jingzhou army in Western Hubei to win.
But all this, has little to do with Cui Geng, now the command in the city has been handed over to Zhu Sheng, Wancheng is in full swing every day, Cui Geng is idle panic, although Zhu Sheng will come to Cui Geng from time to time to discuss how to better defend, Cui Geng will give some advice, but that's all, Cui Geng himself resigned as a general, in exchange for the unity of the generals in Wancheng, even if the misunderstanding is lifted at this time, he will not be able to return to the battlefield.
Wancheng, Cui Mansion, this is Chen Mo's mansion for Cui Geng in Wancheng, it is very large, the Cui clan in Wancheng was also placed here by Cui Geng, and now he has nothing to do, just take this opportunity to sort out the family.
"Chamberlain, I know I was wrong, but you scolded and scolded, and you were punished, and you still didn't get angry? After all, I am your uncle, not your junior! Cui Quan looked at Cui Geng and frowned, "Don't you think about the family at all?" ”
Cui Geng looked at Cui Quan, shook his head and sighed: "With the current appearance of the Cui family, even if I really help you get an official position, it will only exhaust the luck of the Cui Mansion." ”
"You obviously don't want to help the clan!" Cui Quan snorted coldly.
"Until now, Uncle still doesn't know how to repent?" Cui Geng looked at Cui Quan, and his expression turned cold: "Do you think that you can stand here alive now, who is the force?" ”
Cui Quan didn't speak, he knew very well that if it weren't for Cui Geng, his current killing would be a trivial matter, and it would probably affect the family.
"Do you think that if you are sent to an official position and made you an official, you will be a scholar?" Cui Geng looked at these people, shook his head and sighed: "Take the county order as an example, what does a county order do, do you know?" What is the government in the county? How are taxes charged? How do I check my accounts? How to balance the relationship between the common people and the local gentry? How do you know whether the officials in the government office are deceitful and deceitful, everyone is here today, who will tell me how to deal with these things? Who can say, after this battle, I immediately recommended him to the imperial court. ”
The people of the Cui clan looked at each other when they heard this, how did they know this, even if they had read some books, but these things were not taught in the books?
"If you are in your position, you can know the truth." Cui Quan was not angry, at this time, there was no need to worry about his life, and the shelf of the Cui clan patriarch was raised again.
"How long will that take? Since you don't have this ability now, why should the imperial court take a county of land and let you learn from the livelihood of ten thousand people? Cui Geng glared.
Seeing that Cui Quan didn't speak, Cui Geng looked at the Cui clan and frowned: "Since I went to Luoyang from the village, I have studied soldiers for three years, fought for two years, and managed politics for ten years. Now that there is a real shortage in the DPRK, most of them are promoted by county orders with outstanding political achievements, and if you are you, I think you will be the county commander for three years, and my Cui clan should also be wiped out! ”
Cui Geng since entering Nanyang, has always been lenient to his family, in addition to not giving official positions, in other aspects, asking for money and food, as long as Cui Geng has it, he will try his best to satisfy, whether someone in the clan wants to do business, or study, Cui Geng will do his best to help, like today, it is the first time, it is also at this moment, Cui Geng feels like a general on the battlefield, and his body is full of a military atmosphere, which is daunting.
But thinking about Cui Geng's ability to sit in his current position over the years, of course, with Chen Mo's support and support, but more importantly, he is willing to work hard and learn, otherwise there are more people who follow Chen Mo at the earliest, why can't anyone else rise except for Yu Sheng, Cui Geng and Zhong Yun?
"What my brother said is too alarmist, even if you don't do it well, at most you will be dismissed, and it won't affect the clan, right?" One of the clansmen hesitated.
"Really? My Cui family is also a wealthy family, how to deal with the relationship between the government and the government on weekdays, I don't need to say, you should also know, right? But what money can be taken? What can be done? How many of you know? Cui Geng looked at these people coldly: "Do you think that there are many children in the clan, so they are called scholars?" In the past, there were many children of eunuchs, who were scholars? ”
When the Cui clan heard this, some of them were angry, and some of them showed deep thought.
Cui Geng saw that no one spoke, sighed, and said slowly: "Let me tell you like this, if you want to be a scholar, you have to have the ability, you don't have to be an official, but you have to have this ability, and it is recognized by people, not that being an official is enough, now in this troubled world, it is easy to enter the official career, but it is difficult to become a scholar." ”
"Why is that?" A young man said unexpectedly, isn't it easier to become a nobleman in troubled times?
"Why? Because in this troubled world, the most people like you don't want to learn skills and just want to rely on others to enter the office, I don't agree, and I want to collude with foreign enemies. Speaking of this, he glanced at Cui Quan coldly and said, "Do you think that if I really die, the Cui family will rise?" Liu Bei will not look down on you because you surrendered to the enemy, if Nanyang falls, the lord's anger will be the first to burn on you, in the past, Bao Geng died in battle, the thief Qiu humiliated his body, and the Karasuma clan was almost wiped out because of this clan, how is the Cui clan compared to Karasuma? What about Liu Bei compared to Karasuma? ”
The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, if Cui Geng dies on the battlefield, although Chen Mo will be heartbroken, he will not retaliate against someone, the battlefield has the rules of the battlefield, life and death have their own destiny, no one can be an exception, but if Cui Geng was killed by a conspiracy, do you think Chen Mo will not care?
Cui Quan listened in a cold sweat.
"Uncle, the position of the patriarch, you are not suitable to do it again, if it is really good for my Cui family, what you should do now is not to deceive in my name, but to borrow my name, find some good teachers for the outstanding children of the clan to worship the disciples, or send them to the army and local experience, officials can't do it, but if you want to be an official, enter the academy for two years, as long as it is not too bad, it is not difficult to enter the government office as an official, our generation may not be able to join the scholar clan, but as long as it continues to accumulate like this, within three generations, there will always be a character, and when the time comes, the family heritage will be thereEven if we don't say it, others will classify us as scholars!
And you only want to seek benefits for the family in my name, but you don't know that these benefits are all in exchange for my reputation, although you have temporarily gained benefits, but you are self-destructing the foundation, and after a hundred years of me, it is also the time when the Cui family perishes. ”
Cui Geng didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the clan, his main energy now is to fight for Chen Mo in all directions and make contributions, but he doesn't want to care, but the entire Cui family is because of his fame, but it has become a miasma, and even Cui Quan wants to collude with foreign enemies, no matter what, the Cui family will not be far away.
"Bolun, you are in a high position now, but in this Cui clan, you are also a junior, and you are not qualified to abolish the patriarch!" Cui Quan was angry when he heard this, the state has national laws, the clan has clan rules, and although Cui Geng has a high official position, he is not qualified to change the patriarch.
"No, you can, but the Cui clan has nothing to do with me, I don't want to be dragged down, if my Cui clan is in charge of you again, I will die!" Cui Geng changed his tolerance and looked at Cui Quandao coldly.
"What Chamberlen said is right, he is not qualified, our section is qualified?" Several old men came in from outside the door and looked at Cui Quan coldly.
"Sect Elder!?" Cui Quan looked at these old men in amazement, they were all figures from his father and even his grandparents, and they may not have any status and reputation outside, but in the Cui family, these clan elders are united, and if they want to change the patriarch, they can also get the support of most people.
"Uncle Tai!" Seeing the visitor, Cui Geng also hurriedly got up and saluted.
"What Burlun said is good, my Cui clan finally produced such a descendant as Burren, but it was almost ruined by you, and even more almost ruined my Cui clan, if you continue to serve as the patriarch, I don't know how far my Cui clan will be defeated by you?" Uncle Tai stretched out his hand and patted Cui Geng, looked at Cui Quan and said coldly: "From today on, Bolun will be the patriarch of my Cui clan, do you have any objections?" ”
Although a group of people have different expressions, after all, Uncle Tai has spoken, and Cui Geng, regardless of his status or ability, is far above Cui Quan, and it is reasonable for him to be the patriarch.
"Uncle Tai, I ......" Cui Geng looked at Uncle Tai with a wry smile when he heard this, this sentence, he tied himself to Cui's house, he had no reason to refuse, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Blaun, I know you have something big to do, don't worry, my Cui clan will not be a burden to you, in the future, the Cui clan will do what you say, as for whether the future can be as you say, it depends on the creation of my Cui clan." Uncle Tai smiled and sat down with Cui Geng's support and said, "As for Cui Quan, this matter must be handled strictly, otherwise even if you settle this matter, the general will think that you are favoritism." ”
The interests of the family are above all else, Cui Quan is a crime of collaborating with the enemy this time, even if it doesn't work out, but this is also a taboo thing, since Cui Quan threatens the future of the family, then he can only sacrifice Cui Quan.
Cui Quan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he trembled and said, "Uncle, I ......"
"That's it, look at what you've been doing these days!" Uncle Tai snorted coldly, the matter of the Cui family has come to an end at this point, as for Cui Quan's fate, it is already doomed, and no one will care except his family.
