Chapter 1023: Unlucky Shrimp
This kind of thing has been around in Chinese officialdom for a long time
The argument that helping people don't help relatives is generally nonsense.
In fact, since the collapse of etiquette, with the continuous differentiation of the disciples of the hundred schools of thought, the gradual solidification of the bureaucratic class of the Great Qin, reasoning has begun to become unpopular, and all officials will choose to stand in line to maintain their identity and status, and the wrong team is basically trampled down.
For example, at the moment above the Great Qin Dynasty, since Li Si's death, the disciples of the old Legalists represented by Li Si quickly fell apart, many Legalists shamelessly chose to take refuge in Chen Xu, and some were not willing to accept the soft side of the team were kicked down by Chen Xu without mercy, to be reasonable, that is only done by fools, whether it is a ruffian hooligan fight or an officialdom fight, whose fist is big is the truth.
Punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten, Qin Da flattened the Six Kingdoms with a pair of fists the size of a sand bowl and a bloody tooth.
Now that Zuo Qiuping is the left minister of Liangguo, there will naturally be a large group of people standing in line for him and cheering, it doesn't matter who Wen Bupo is, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, the important thing is that this person must be recommended by Zuo Xiang.
And there is also a very important point, Wen Bupo is a member of the Yue Clan, and they are different from their group of staff and disciples who followed from Daqin, he succeeded, so the credit is Zuo Xiang, he failed, well, then he deserved it, it has nothing to do with everyone, and in the end, it was Wen Bupo, the unlucky shrimp, who was hit by the black pot.
The court debate soon had a unified understanding, and King Yinggao of Liang couldn't wait to issue a royal order with a wave of his big sleeves, so that the confessor could quickly summon Wen Bupo to listen to the seal.
Three moments later, Wen Bupo, who was still in the market and communicated with some Hu merchants from the Western Regions, was full of surprise and extremely anxious to follow the confessor to the court, and after listening to the reward of King Liang, he stood on the court with his mouth wide open and did not come back to his senses for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, an incomparable bitterness surged in his heart instantly.
There is no doubt about the strength of Great Qin, the fate of the Yue clan has been doomed, since the Liang King was divided into the Yue Clan, the various reforms carried out have also been drastic, and a large number of craftsmen, students, craftsmen, and staff brought from the Central Plains have also made every effort to implement the system and culture of the Central Plains, build schools, health centers and various workshops, and teach the Yue people to learn farming, weaving wool and other skills, with the strong backing of the Great Qin, the various measures implemented by the Liang Dynasty's court quickly achieved immediate results, and everything went smoothly without too many twists and turns.
In fact, most of the high-level tribes of the Yue clan will not resist, and they are very obedient, because the leaders of these Yue tribes have been to Xianyang, have seen the prosperity and wealth of Xianyang City, and know that the only way out for the Yue clan is to honestly accept the arrangement of King Liang, learn the culture of the Central Plains, and accept the Central Plains system is the inevitable result, and many people also yearn for and admire everything in the Central Plains, and actively cooperate with Yinggao's reform measures, in exchange for their better status and get more benefits.
Wen Bupo, as the most important adviser of the former Yue Clan, although his status is high, he is not a royal family, and he did not participate in the rebellion against Daqin, so after the fall of the Yue Clan, Li Xin did not embarrass him, and even often took the time to communicate with him to ask about the situation of the Yue Clan. Together with the original little prince of the Yue clan who pulled out the poison, he only rewarded an unofficial and unemployed Shaoqing and rushed to herd sheep.
That is to say, almost all the high-level leaders of the Liang Kingdom at the moment are from the Great Qin, and there are no Yue's people, and as for the Wusun people, they can't see the shadow.
But today, Liang Wang Yinggao's sudden appearance of this official position of rewarding the envoy made Wen Bupo feel that it was not pie in the sky, because this trip was unpredictable, and he could think very clearly about himself being elected by Zuo Xiang as an envoy in an instant, and he might have to carry the black pot on this trip.
"Mr. Wen, this king knows that you have a deep relationship with the Marquis of Xiyue, and if my Liang country wants to become rich, it must be supported by the Marquis of Qinghe, so this king hopes that you can go to Xianyang to visit the Marquis of Qinghe on behalf of this king this time, and it is best to buy a large number of exquisite goods and utensils from the Central Plains on credit, so that several markets in my Liang country can attract a large number of merchants from the Western Regions and Qianghu, and the prosperity of my Liang country is just around the corner!" Ying sat high on the throne and looked at Wen Bupo with an expectant face.
Alas!
Wen Bupo sighed in his heart, and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "The king has a life, and the grass people naturally dare not shirk it, so when I go to Xianyang, I will try my best to communicate with the Marquis of Xiyue, and strive to bring back good news to the king after meeting the Marquis of Qinghe!" ”
"Haha, okay, this king has heard of Mr. Wen's name, many tribes of the Yue clan also respect Mr. Wen, if Mr. Wen succeeds in this trip, this king will not hesitate to reward, and decided to set up a commerce bureau under the household department, and appoint Mr. Wen as the commerce department to control all the trade exchanges in Liang for this king!" Yinggao laughed heartily and stood up.
"Thank you, Great King!" Wen Bupo hurriedly thanked him.
Wen Bupo has no interest in the officials of the Liang Kingdom, because this official is still unknown, but if he can take this opportunity to bring prosperity and development to the Yue Clan, Wen Bupo is still very moved, after all, he is a member of the Yue Clan, and he hopes to see the Yue Clan be peaceful and prosperous, and all tribes can enjoy a quiet life, he didn't want to see the Yue Clan and Daqin clash and try to quell the war, because he knows too well the strength of the Central Plains princes, Mo said that it is now the Great Qin who dominates China, Even when the princes were competing for power, Qichu, Han Yan, Zhao Wei and other countries, if they took one out at random, they could have crushed the blood of the Yueshi into a river, if it weren't for the remoteness of the Yue's region and the comparison of honesty, and the development goal and direction of the Qin State has always been in the Central Plains, it is estimated that the Yue's life must have been very miserable under the pressure of Great Qin, Qiang and Wusun.
Now the Yue clan because of the betrayal of King Tunan and the death of the king of the Yue clan, resulting in a tragic war that should have been wiped out, although the Yue clan with a population of hundreds of thousands of people has experienced a bloody baptism and catastrophe, but after all, most of the population is still left, and now under the rule of King Liang, it has begun to slowly live a peaceful and peaceful life, which in Wen Bupo's view, is already the best ending of the Yue clan, and this ending is also called by the king of the Yue clan with his life, and he will only do his best to protect it.
At the beginning, the king of the Yue clan finally agreed to cooperate with Meng Tian to suppress the king of Tu Nan after thinking about it for half a month, in fact, he had already discussed it with King Zuo Ping and Wen Bupo several times, and basically guessed that this was a huge trap, but in the end, for the future of the Yue clan, the king of the Yue clan still decided to take a risk, and expressed his kindness to Daqin in this cannibalistic way, in exchange for Daqin's appeasement of the Yue clan, the king of the Yue clan succeeded, but at the cost of his own life, He never thought that King Tunan would kill him in a fit of anger with his most important eldest son, in a vain attempt to seize the throne of the Yue Clan.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, whether it is the king of Tunan or the king of Beihe, they all underestimate the strength of Great Qin, Meng Tian did not give them any chance to be proud at all, and easily resolved this rebellion with a light touch, and by the way, the Yue clan was also in the bag, and completed the task of the Great Qin Emperor to conquer the Yue clan half a year ahead of schedule, and at the same time expanded more than 3,000 miles to the west, completing the unprecedented war victory in China in one fell swoop.
Today's Yueshi has become a part of the rule of the Liang State, and the Yueshi people have also become the people of the Liang Kingdom, and the King of Liang has implemented the same car in the Liang Kingdom, and the same Wendu has the same language, and all the systems are copied from Daqin, and after decades, perhaps the descendants of the Yueshi people will forget their true identity, speak the Central Plains dialect, write the Central Plains characters, read the Central Plains poems, cultivate the land, spin wool and weave cloth, and become the same as the Central Plains people.
Wen Bupo sat on the bumpy carriage, escorted by hundreds of forbidden soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, and led his team of envoys, facing a round of bright red morning sun, and staggered with the endless caravans of the Western Regions from the east, and went straight to the paradise on earth, which is known as the most prosperous paradise in the world...... Great Qin Jingshi Xianyang.
Along the way, the original grazing water and grass abundant place, has been reclaimed a large area of farmland, green corn is rising gratifyingly, the Yueshi people who used to hold horse whips to graze cattle and sheep, under the command of some craftsmen wearing official uniforms, are clumsily learning to weed and water in the fields.
That battle to destroy the country seemed to be far away from these ordinary Yue clan people in an instant, and they were all using a nervous and pious attitude, respectfully obeying the guidance and reprimands from these Great Qin officials.
On both sides of the road, which was crushed by the dense caravans and camel wheels coming and going, in some areas where the tribes gathered, houses made of wood had begun to appear sporadically, with plaques or cloth signs for food houses and post houses, and even grocery stores selling Central Plains cloth, shoes, hats, saddles, stirrups, and the owners of these shops, all of whom also spoke with accents from all over the Central Plains, recruited young men and girls from the Yueshi clan as helpers, and among them, they also saw a shop opened by the Yueshi people, although it was the only one, But it represents the emergence of a completely different way of life.
Perhaps, this is also a good thing!
Wen Bupo's anxious heart has slowly calmed down.
The princes of the Central Plains have been fighting for hundreds of years, and now they have finally achieved unification, and the Yue clan has finally begun to change the way of life of living by water after this baptism of blood and fire.
What's more, Wen Bupo was also full of excitement and anticipation for the immortal disciple who was about to meet the legendary Immortal disciple who guarded Great Qin.
From the day of the fall of the Yue clan, he had to hear the news about Qinghe Hou almost every day, and when he talked about it with Li Xin, Li Xin also told him with a smile that if he had the opportunity to go to Xianyang, he must visit Qinghe Hou, if he was big enough to be lucky enough to eat a meal made by Qinghe Hou himself, then this life would not be in vain.
There is a proverb in Xianyang: It is better to have a clear river than a thousand taels of gold.
I heard that this is the current Great Qin Zuoxiang, the marquis of the double lord loves food, and can make unparalleled flavor seasonings with the common wild flax of the Yue's family.
Could it be that he is a foodie!
However, the braised beef noodles sold in Wangcheng are indeed delicious, and I heard that they were invented and made by the Marquis of Qinghe.
Hiss~
Wen Bupo, who was shy in his pocket, had only eaten two or three times, and when he thought of the hot, delicate and soft noodles blessed with beef soup, he couldn't help but suck a mouthful of saliva while sitting in the rickety carriage.
