Zhang Yue walked into the hall, took his eyes, and swept over the scholars with feathered crowns of nylon on the left and right.

His memory was already good, but now with the aid of space, he was even more powerful enough to write down everyone he had ever met if he wanted to.

Therefore, just a few casual glances, Zhang Yue found that there were really a lot of 'old friends' sitting there!

Of course, there are also quite a few new faces.

Looking at these people, Zhang Yue showed a warm smile like spring, walked to the hall, and bowed to the crown prince Liu Ju and the eldest grandson Liu Jin who were sitting on the top: "Weichen respectfully asks the family and His Royal Highness to ...... peace."

"Zhang Shizhong, please get up ......" Prince Liu got up with a smile, walked down the steps, walked in front of Zhang Yue in person, helped him up, and said: "This time Yuyi's matter, thanks to Aiqing's advice, did not cause a big disaster, and Xie Qing ...... for Yuyi, Yongxian and the entire Qishan people."

This time he went to Yuyi for disaster relief, he was really eye-opening.

There are only two or three thousand registered households in Yuyi County, and the population is only more than 10,000, which is not even comparable to the population of a township near Chang'an City.

But the greed and ferocity of the Yuyi gentry were something he had never seen when he read history in the past.

I'm afraid that only the officials of the remnants of the people at the time of the legendary Ji Xuan reign can be compared with one or two.

Under the oppression and exploitation of these people, the people of Yuyi have no clothes and no food.

When he arrived in Yuyi, it was a living hell.

Almost all of the land in the township pavilion has been cracked.

Countless people commit suicide in despair every day.

There have even been cases of suicide by poisoning the family.

By the time Liu arrived, the whole county was shrouded in anger, despair, and fear.

Just two people and one sentence are missing, and the whole Yuyi is about to explode!

Fortunately, he went, and fortunately, there was this young lieutenant in front of him, and even more fortunately, the county commander of Yuyi County still loved the people, and did his best to mobilize food and strength and disaster relief within his ability.

Otherwise......

Liu Ju didn't dare to imagine the consequences anymore!

It must be ruined, notorious, and above history, he will become a complete laughing stock.

Listening to the prince's words, countless scholars and doctors in the palace suddenly only felt that they had been hammered on the head with a big stick, dizzy and a little painful.

Many people even felt a look of shame and quietly lowered their heads.

It is the so-called food king's lu, the matter of loyalty to the king.

In the present day, the values of the scholars were very interesting, and they still upheld some of the legacy of the Warring States.

The interpretation of 'loyalty' is also that 'dedication to loyalty' is still the same.

Since he is the prince's minister and takes the prince's money, he should do things for the prince.

Failure to do one's duty is disloyalty.

And Yu Yi's problems are now all exposed, and there is no possibility to hide it.

As a result, judging from the values and perspectives of the scholars, they, the prince's ministers, have all fallen into the abyss of 'disloyalty'.

According to the understanding of the Ram School, it is already 'falling into the abyss', and after death, it will be 'punished by the Spring and Autumn Period'.

The historian would add the sentence 'Prince Shi, disloyal' to the verdict of all of them.

If they are members of the Ram School, they can now raise their swords and wash away their sins with their blood, so as to ask for forgiveness from heaven and earth and from kings.

Of course, they are not rams, and they do not have to be tortured day and night from their hearts and souls.

But it is already a fact that there is a problem with 'loyalty and filial piety'.

For a Confucian scholar, it can even be said that for any Han person who claims to be a 'scholar', if there is a problem with the concept of loyalty and filial piety, it is a great deal!

Especially for the Gu Liang School, if you are not a loyal minister, then you must be a traitor!

Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished!

If it were someone else, something would have gone wrong, something like this would have happened.

They all knew that they must have already taken the case at this moment, picked up their swords, and came to the door of the man's house.

The more temperamental ones would only sing elegiac songs at the door of his house, urging him to commit suicide quickly.

If you are a little more grumpy, you will block the door of his house and make his charges and incriminating evidence public.

Then gather the township party and village sages, beat the drums and beat them.

This kind of thing, quite a few of them have done before.

The routine is very familiar.

For example, more than a month ago, Zheng Quan had to commit suicide.

There was a bunch of people singing elegy loudly around the door, who would dare not die? Who can not die?

But when this kind of thing happens to you.

Many people have found ......

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die!

In particular, many people remembered Zheng Quan's death and the misery after his death.

Zheng Quan's death now haunts their minds and makes them shudder.

But what is even more terrifying is the horror after Zheng Quan's death!

Because he committed suicide in a crime, the Zheng family did not dare to bury his coffin in the cemetery of the clan, let alone sacrifice his god card in the sect, so that he could be with his ancestors and enjoy incense, fire and blood food.

He could only choose another barren mountain for him and bury him in a hurry.

Because he died of sin, there were no funeral goods.

Even, just wrapped in a mat and carried it into the coffin.

Before the burial, his hair must be spread out and his cheeks must be covered in turn, so as to show that he has no face to see his ancestors and the ancestors and teachers of the past dynasties under the nine springs.

What's even more frightening is that Zheng Quan's tomb did not dare to raise the grave, so he had to set up a monument for his son to make plans, and his tombstone inscription said: The tomb of the disloyal minister, the late prince's family order Zheng.

He didn't even dare to sign his name, and it was very likely that after the generation of Zheng Quan's son, even his name would disappear in the world.

He will not be remembered by anyone, not even his direct descendants.

The only place where he can show his existence is the one recorded by the historian: the prince's family in the summer of the first year of Yanhe made Zheng Quan guilty of committing suicide.

And this is the punishment of spring and autumn!

Not a punishment, but the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the scholars!

Although the Guliang School is not a Ram School, it is also the Spring and Autumn School after all.

"Spring and Autumn" is their common source.

And on the history books, it is written clearly in black and white: Confucius made "Spring and Autumn", and the rebellious ministers and thieves were afraid.

Therefore, now their hearts are really entangled, contradictory, ashamed, ashamed and other emotions are mixed together.

The shame of their own shame and the fact of their own 'disloyalty' made their hearts cut like knives, and the miserable appearance and tragic experience of Zheng Quan, Li Xun and others after their deaths stung them.

And the shame, anger, fear, and terror in their hearts.

In the end, it turned into power, it turned into hatred!

"It's all your fault!" More than one person lowered his voice, and with blood-red eyes, he looked viciously at the lieutenant who was standing in the hall and was kindly helped up by the prince.

In their opinion, they may fall into the abyss of 'disloyalty', and even be punished by the Spring and Autumn Period.

It's all brought by this lieutenant.

If he hadn't been nosy, Yu Yi's matter would not have been exposed to the world, and everyone would not have to suffer the shame of 'disloyalty' and be punished by the Spring and Autumn Period!

Is it just starving to death and hanging a few mud legs?

Are you committing such a rush to kill? Ruthless?

In the eyes of these people, even if they take 10,000 steps back, even if the Yuyi incident causes a catastrophe and turns into a popular uprising, they can calmly mobilize the army to suppress it, and the entire Qishan Plain will add up to a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000.

And if so, all evidence will be extinguished in the flames of war.

What's more, all the culpability has nothing to do with them.

Because, at that time, it will be the prince who bears the blame!

Thinking like this, the young lieutenant in front of him has become the enemy of many people.

A mortal enemy that must be eliminated first and then quickly, even at any cost!

There are even those who think that as long as they get rid of this person, they can be relieved of their guilt.

Although this logic seems strange, it is difficult to justify itself.

But, that's what they think now.

…………………………

Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at the prince in front of him.

Zhang Yue remembered that when he met Liu Ju in Bowangyuan more than a month ago, the Han prince was still a middle-aged man who looked a little chubby and smiled a little rich.

But now, he is visibly emaciated.

Noticeable wrinkles and dark circles also appear at the corners of the eyes.

It seems that the rumors in the market are not exaggerated, this Han prince is indeed working day and night in Yuyi, and even takes the lead.

It is said that in order to provide disaster relief and help the affected people in Yuyi and the Qishanyuan area, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even adjusted all the food stocks in Bowangyuan.

He even cut the cost of his concubines in half, and used the money to buy seeds and build water wheels for the victims.

It was under the personal supervision and supervision of this crown prince that the drought in Yuyi and the surrounding areas was greatly alleviated.

Many of the hardest-hit areas have been exempted from all forced labor taxes this year and next.

He heard that more than 200 orphans who had lost their parents in the drought had been taken to Shanglin Yuan and placed in a government office near Bowang Garden.

After his intervention, the damage was quickly curtailed.

It's just that......

Zhang Yue had a lot of questions in his heart.

The drought seems to be over, and a large number of waterwheels have been erected on both sides of the river, drawing water day and night to irrigate the farmland.

But the damage that has been done is irreparable.

It's too late to replant corn.

So what will happen to the people of Yuyi and the farmers in the hard-hit areas around them this winter?

What will they do when they run out of relief food?

What's more, according to common sense, there must be a major epidemic after a major disaster, and although drought is not like a flood, there will be a large-scale epidemic, but it is also necessary to prevent the risk of people being infected with plague.

It's just that Zhang Yue can't ask this kind of question now, so he has to have the opportunity to ask Liu Ju in private.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Zhang Yue was led by Liu Ju and walked to the side: "Zhang Shizhong, I want to introduce you to Shizhong and Zhugong......"

He pointed to an official sitting on his left side, who had been bowing his head, and said, "This Yu Yi Ling Wangjun!" ”

"This drought, I was fortunate to get Zhang Shizhong's advice first, to know the disaster, and fortunately to meet the Wang County Order, to govern decently, and to do our best to protect the people's lives, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Liu said with emotion.

When the official heard this, he immediately went out and bowed to Liu Ju and Zhang Yue: "Weichen doesn't dare to be the head of the family, but he is loyal to his duties to repay his family and His Majesty!" ”

Zhang Yue looked at this official, he was about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, about seven feet tall, not very strong, and he seemed to be a Qi person? Because his crown hat has obvious characteristics of the Qilu region.

Out of politeness, Zhang Yue bowed to this person and asked, "Unknown Wang County Order?" ”

The other party hurriedly bowed and said: "Xiaguan Yuyi ordered Wang Yi to worship the prince of the middle!" ”

"Wang Yi?!" Zhang Yue looked at him and asked, "Right Auxiliary Duwei King?" Is it Your Excellency? ”

"It's my brother......," the other party said.

Zhang Yue suddenly showed a hint of playfulness.

If he remembered correctly, then, King? In the future, it will become a giant of the Han family.

And worship the prime minister during the period of Emperor Zhao - this is certainly not the most important, in fact the king? The worship is because Huo Guang needs it, so he is just a puppet.

The point is, Wang? This line has been passed down for a long time.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a woman in the Wang family who married a young man surnamed Wang.

This man has a great reputation and a good reputation.

He is Wang Mang, a suspected traveler in the late Western Han Dynasty......

"The Wang family of Jinan is known as a virtuous ......" Zhang Yue laughed and snorted, but Wang Yi was a little uncomfortable to hear, and hurriedly said: "The servant may be mistaken, the Chen's family has always been slightly cold, but there are only 130 acres of land......

He didn't dare to have anything to do with Jinan celebrities.

Because......

The whole world knows that the celebrities of Jinan County are Haoqiang.

And it is the most notorious kind - because of greed, the heroes of Jinan County have successfully turned more than seventy percent of the county's population into their own slaves.

This led to the verbal and written criticism of the entire Shilin, and then led to the current Imperial Doctor Ten years ago, the violent victory of the Zhijie went south, suppressed Qilu, and killed a person's head.

Since then, the scholars born in Jinan will desperately make it clear that they are not famous and powerful sons at all.

Even if the family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, they must show that they really have no money in the family, and at most they have 130 acres of land.

The impact of this stalk was so great that decades later, Gong Yu gave it to Emperor Yuan, and he also said: The minister's family really only has one hundred and thirty acres of land, and the minister still sold his family's cattle and land to make up enough money for the journey, Your Majesty, you have to believe me!

Of course, Gong Yu is indeed very poor and incorruptible.

It is also possible that he did only have one hundred and thirty acres of land.

But he is not poor at all!

Wang Ji, a good friend of others, leaked a little from between his fingers, which was enough for his expenses.

How rich is Wang Ji?

He is now serving as a tour of Linwei Township in Xinfeng, and within a month of taking office, he has already paid out of his own pocket to repair the road.

Awesome!

You just need to know that Wang Ji's father and brother are both iron officials in Shu County, and you can understand where his money came from!

Zhang Yue, Wang Yi and the prince talked and laughed.

A sentence fell on the ears of Gu Liang Shizi on the left and right, like a whip, whipping their bodies and minds, making them embarrassed and ashamed.

Hatred and anger, fueled by shame and fear, grew higher and higher, and gradually became uncontrollable!
