Chapter 1037: Old Fox
"Zuo Xiang, this Jingbian Temple is dedicated to Li Mu, a famous general of the former Zhao State!"
"Oh, it's him?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and quickly sat down.
There are many celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there are only a few people who make Chen Xu admire the most, Wang Jian is one, Meng Tian is one, and Li Mu is also one, especially Meng Tian and Li Mu, both are famous generals who have just passed the Huns, the main reason why the Qin-Zhao War failed in the Zhao State is because Li Mu was killed by King Zhao, otherwise it is still unknown whether Qin Shi Huang can just get the Zhao State, so for Li Mu, Chen Xu is still full of admiration, and is also full of feelings and sighs, if Li Mu does not die, the Central Plains is estimated to be a mess at the moment, The Seven Kingdoms are still fighting each other, and it is impossible for China to have the current situation of unification, and naturally it is not his turn to dictate the reforms.
"Zuo Xiang, when Li Mubing went out of Yanmen Pass to attack the Huns, the Huns did not dare to go south to invade the Central Plains for ten years, so the people of Zhao built Jingbian Temple in Yanmen Pass to commemorate Li Mu's exploits and achievements!"
"I see!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then spoke, "What does the banquet waiter think has to do with this matter and the Jingbian Temple?" ”
"Zuo Xiang, his subordinates are so guessing, Li Mu is the hero in the hearts of the Zhao people, and Yanmen Pass is also a Xiongguan where Zhao resisted the Xiongnu, and it is also important in the minds of the people of Zhao, although Zhao has perished, but the people of Zhao have not been wiped out too much, the people of the former six countries, in fact, are still called by the name of the country secretly, and it can be changed overnight, and now Yanmen County is the military camp of the Beidi Tun soldiers, and Yanmen Pass is also important. Wucheng Marquis Wang Li was in charge of the northern military camp with a total of 40,000 elite new-style horse soldiers, most of whom were in Yanmen County, and Daqin and Zhao Nai were feuding, when His Majesty the original emperor was imprisoned by Zhao State, the Qin people were ashamed, so although this incident seemed to happen accidentally, but in fact it was an inevitable thing, and the horse soldiers on the border must have wanted to destroy Jingbian Temple in order to humiliate the people of Zhao, but it also angered the locals, so there was a conflict......"
Yanzhuang roughly said his inference, and Chen Xu almost understood that things would not be too far apart after thinking about it slightly.
"If this is really the case, then this matter will definitely not be as simple as the book says, maybe there will be not only injuries, but maybe someone ......will die," Chen Xu's brows instantly furrowed.
Although there is only one clue about Jingbian Temple at the moment, but according to the speculation of Yanzhuang, then this matter has actually been somewhat enlightened, a group of elite soldiers of Daqin want to destroy the holy place of Zhao State to worship heroes, the locals naturally refuse, and then push and shove a conflict, and a group of civilians where is the opponent of elite soldiers, soon was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and then a group of soldiers destroyed Jingbian Temple and left, and the local people gathered to make trouble, because of the reason of Wang Li, The Yanmen guards and local officials must not dare to offend, and the matter has been dragged on......
But this kind of thing must not be delayed for too long, because the longer it is delayed, the more serious the consequences may be.
Chen Xu felt that if this matter was not handled well, it was likely to cause a huge civil uprising in the end.
And according to the urine nature of the people of Zhao in the northwest, it is not impossible to make a big rebellion.
"Let's go back to the office first, don't disclose this matter strictly secret, Ben Hou will personally go to Shangshu Province!" Chen Xu stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then took the book to find Feng Quji.
Ziying Palace, Shangshu Provincial Government.
Just like Zhongshu Province, the tall and majestic palace gate, hanging three gilded ancient seals of Shangshu Province, on both sides of the wide steps, there are dozens of well-equipped forbidden army guards, the position of the parking line at the entrance of the main hall, dozens of different styles of carriages are densely parked, there are constantly officials in and out, it looks much busier than Zhongshu Province.
"Welcome to Qinghehou!" Under the leadership of the commander of the forbidden army, all the guards of the forbidden army clasped their fists and saluted together, and even the officials who came in and out quickly stopped and bowed together.
"No courtesy, Feng Xiangke?" Chen Xu asked after getting out of the car and nodding slightly.
"Feng Xiang is working in the government right now, please leave the prime minister!" Under the guidance of the leader of the forbidden army, Chen Xu walked into the Ziying Palace, and happened to meet Feng Quji, who hurriedly greeted him, and the two exchanged their arms and entered Feng Quji's office hand in hand.
"Feng Xianghao Yaxing, these pots of autumn orchids are growing well, and they are all blooming!"
As soon as he walked into Feng Quji's office, he smelled a fragrance of orchids, and his eyes were also attracted by the pots of orchids placed on a large wooden table of Xiangnan, so he walked up and admired while watching.
"Haha, Qinghe Hou praised too much, you are the gardening master, the greenhouse can cultivate melons, fruits, vegetables and roses and peonies and other flowers in the cold winter, the old man is just a joke, and he can't be elegant! Shame on you! ”
Feng Qujian smiled and twisted his beard to say a few polite words, invited Chen Xu to sit down, and after a maid served fragrant tea, he retreated, Feng Quji's face calmed down and said, "I don't know why Zuo Xiang suddenly came to Shangshu Province?" ”
The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Chen Xu's own Zhongshu Province is too lazy to go on weekdays, and today he hurriedly came to Shangshu Province to find him without saying hello, and he must not have come to praise his orchid planting.
"A certain person came to visit Feng Xiang!" Chen Xu smiled and drank tea while continuing to look left and right in Feng Quji's office, his eyes fell on a calligraphy and painting on the wall, "Hey, could this painting be Feng Xiang's handwriting?" ”
Feng Qu shook his head with tears and laughter: "Why does the Marquis of Qinghe bury the old man, this painting is made by the painter, the old man's calligraphy and painting are crude and can't be put on the table, the Marquis of Qinghe is here, let's talk about it quickly, the old man has been busy with official business recently!" ”
Hearing that Feng Quji was reluctant to chat with him, Chen Xu could only laugh a few times and put down the teacup, his face became serious, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Feng Quji, "Feng Xiang, Xu came today for this book, I don't know if Feng Xiang has seen it before?" ”
Seeing Chen Xu's serious appearance, Feng Qujian felt his heart tighten slightly, and he stretched out his hand to take the book and swept it over a few times...... Then he read it carefully, and finally pondered for a moment before speaking: "Forgive me for being old and stupid, I don't know what Zuo Xiang thinks is wrong with this recital?" ”
"Qin and Zhao have been fighting for hundreds of years, this Jingbian Temple is heard to be the sacrificial temple of Li Mu, a famous general of the former Zhao State, and now it has been destroyed by the soldiers under the Marquis of Wucheng, and there may be local civilian casualties. Chen Xu said while drinking tea.
Feng Quji's face instantly became solemn, and he read the book carefully again, his brows slowly furrowed, "It's been a few months since this happened, and it involves soldiers, why isn't it the Marquis of Wucheng, but a local county order?" ”
"This is the crux of the matter, this recital is vague, it seems that it is not surprising that it is understated, but there is often a complex background hidden behind the simplicity, and just like Feng Xiang said, this matter should not have been played by the Guangwu County Order, so this recital is suspected of wanting to cover up, and the criminal inspector and the banquet waiter think that this matter should not be so simple, so he rejected the disposition document of the Criminal Department, and after reading it, he also felt that there were still many problems in it, so he came to Feng Xiang to discuss!" Chen Xu put down the teacup, and his expression had become quite serious at this time.
"Then what does the left minister think should be done with this matter?" Feng Qujian pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Naturally, I want to find out!"
Feng Quji's face suddenly became extremely deep, and his thin fingers tightly twisted his beard, as if he was caught in the ideological struggle between heaven and man.
As an important minister who has been immersed in the court for nearly ten years, and now the power is in charge of the world, in fact, there is no need for Chen Xu to mention too much, from the time Chen Xu said the three words of Wucheng Hou, he felt that the matter was very tricky, and it might even be beyond the scope of his ability to deal with it.
Although the Qin law is beneficial, the law comes from the monarch, and the monarch is arbitrary.
There are a lot of Qin laws and almost all aspects, but Qin laws are aimed at ordinary people, and there is almost no control over the nobles, even if the nobles break the law, but they can only be judged and dealt with by the emperor, this is the royal power of the world.
There are many laws involving criminal law in the Qin law, such as the law of travelers, the law of arresting thieves, the law of removing officials, and the law of sealing the diagnosis, all of which have provisions for trial and questioning, but without exception, these laws are specifically aimed at the people at the bottom, and officials and nobles are not among them.
Wang's family has three martial marquis, although Wang Li is young, now he is only in his twenties, but he also has the shadow of Wang Jian Wang Ben, and the first emperor reused, and after conquering Donghu, he was named the Marquis of Che, which is completely a cheating knighthood, and now there are many people who are dissatisfied with Wang Li's feudal marquis.
But no matter how dissatisfied they are, the three generations of the Wang family have become a super family in the Great Qin Empire that no one dares to beak, no one dares to touch the tiger's whiskers, and the tiger's ass can't be touched, so they can only watch its head shake its head and tail and roar the world.
Now Wang Li is in charge of the Beidi military camp, commanding 40,000 elite horsemen, almost having the ability to sweep the world, and Wang Ben has been at home for a few years, and was appointed by the emperor to take charge of the 200,000 army in Lingnan to conquer Baiyue, and now two years have passed and are about to succeed, this father and son control almost all the army of Daqin.
And the remaining one is in charge of the Western Army and is responsible for attacking the Western Regions, and now 20,000 troops have been stationed in the Western Regions, and there are only 10,000 auxiliary horsemen in the Longxi military camp, although they are also elite, but their strength has been greatly reduced.
In other words, if the Wang clan wants to rebel now, Daqin will be turned upside down in an instant.
But the emperor did not have the slightest worry, and lived an unusually quiet and leisurely life in Xianyang every day.
From this, it can be seen that the Wang family's grace in the emperor's heart has not diminished at all, and it is almost relied on to the point of being defenseless.
If Chen Xu wanted to investigate the situation behind this recital, no matter what the final outcome was, he would definitely offend Wang Li.
And offending Wang Li is offending Wang Ben and Wang Qian, the father and son of the Great Qin Military God.
Although Feng Quji is now in power, he also knows that with his identity and status, he will not dare to break his wrists with the Wang family no matter what, this is not the same level of existence at all, if he really tears his face, the emperor will definitely dismiss him, and the Wang family may not have anything to do in the end.
Great Qin established the country by force, whether it was the Spring and Autumn Period for hegemony or the Warring States for power, force was the only criterion for the princes to arrange the order, and now the smoke clouds of war have just dissipated, and the first emperor has not been so stupid as to cut off his arm.
But now that Chen Xu came to the door with this recital, he definitely didn't want to go home empty-handed.
It's not okay to offend the Wang family, and it's even worse to offend Chen Xu.
After all, he was able to have today's status in the court, which was almost single-handedly promoted by Chen Xu.
Sandwiched between the two big guys, Feng Quji felt very uncomfortable.
And this kind of thing...... The best way to deal with it is to turn a big thing into a small matter, and if it drags on for half a year and a year, it is estimated that this matter will be yellow.
As a person who has been deeply involved in the court for many years and is willing to submit to Li Si's current position, scheming is only the most basic skill of an official, and Feng Quji instantly paid attention to it in his heart.
As for advocating justice for the people of Zhaodi, Feng Qujian didn't think about it at all.
"The old man also agrees with Zuo Xiang's intention to investigate thoroughly, and when the court is in the court tomorrow, the old man will inform His Majesty of this recital, it is best to let the Supervision Province send the imperial history to Yanmen County......" Feng Qujian slowly took a sip of tea and spoke.
Nima, an old fox!
Half an hour later, Chen Xu muttered and walked out of the Shangshu Provincial Mansion.
After standing at the door of the mansion and watching Chen Xu's carriage leave, Feng Qujian let out a long breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and turned back to continue working.
Since Chen Xu said that he wanted to find out, he naturally couldn't refuse, but as long as he threw the book to the emperor, and then let Meng Yi come forward, it would be at least a month or two on the way back and forth, whether it could be found out or not, and then drag on for a few months, the matter would naturally slowly calm down, and Meng Yi was not a fool to break his wrist with the Wang family, maybe it would be over in the end, not to mention that even if Meng Yi was determined to help his son-in-law just get rid of the three-headed tiger of the Wang family, it had nothing to do with Feng Quji.
Feng Quji's abacus is still playing well, but it's a pity that he met Chen Xu, a more serious guy, and there is another main reason that Chen Xu has been really idle recently.
After leaving Shangshu Province, he immediately went to the newspaper office and asked Chen Ping to help check whether there were any similar news articles in Yanmen County in the past six months.
