Section 404 The death of Gongsun He

Before you know it, it's August.

It's autumn.

The whole world was busy overnight.

On the plains, in the mountains, and on the banks of the rivers, acre after acre of corn is ripe.

From the north of the Yellow River, almost all counties and counties immediately threw themselves into the intense work of harvesting corn.

Does a year's hard work pay off?

Whether the wife and children can survive this cold winter this year depends on how much corn can be beaten in the field!

However......

In Guanzhong, a dark cloud obscured people's hearts.

"Huayin yields two stones per mu......" a messenger rode a horse into the Jianzhang Palace, and reported the yield of corn per mu in Huayin County that had been harvested at the earliest.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs changed color when they heard this.

Huayin County, next to the Wei River, has always been the granary of Guanzhong.

In the past 30 years, there has been no record of less than two and a half stones per mu in this area.

The last time Huayin produced two stones per mu, it had to be traced back to the Taizong period.

But the bad news came one after another.

"Xin'an, Yiyang yield one stone and a half ...... per mu"

Xin'an and Yiyang are areas that were merged into Guanzhong after Guangguan.

In these places, although the water conservancy infrastructure is not very developed, because there are several river systems flowing through the local area, since the Qin Dynasty, the local yield per mu has not fallen to the level of two stones.

And now, today, it has returned to the Warring States period overnight, when Li Kui changed the law.

The courtiers were even more trembling, feeling cold hands and feet.

"Yuyi, Yongxian, Yixian, only one stone per mu yield......" The messenger who followed reported this nightmarish data to the court.

Finally, a flash flood hit!

"In the history of the minister's court, the victory of the death is played: the minister whispered that Confucius said: The rule of the good man for a hundred years, you can go to the brutal victory, and now the prime minister Sun He Zuo His Majesty has ruled the country for more than ten years, without an inch of land, without a piece of advice. You can't help Your Majesty to rule Yuanyuan, and you can't appease the people so that you can't ...... peace."

The book played Lantai, and this time Lantai did not express his position as in the past.

On the contrary, he reacted immediately: the Son of Heaven said: Under the imperial history, he discussed with the hundred officials.

As a result, the tide of attacks quickly flocked to Prime Minister Gongsun He.

Everyone, everyone, even Gongsun He's friends and relatives, fell into the well and stepped on him.

Almost everyone shifted all the blame to this prime minister.

There is no way.

Originally, Gongsun He was already a bunch of Xiang rubs on his buttocks, and he couldn't wipe them clean.

Now it has suddenly encountered the largest production reduction in Guanzhong in decades.

Even if he didn't have any problems before, he would definitely be dead now!

Spring and Autumn said: There should be natural disasters!

Dong Zhongshu explained: Those who do evil deeds will be rewarded by heaven, and demons will also be disasters.

There was such a serious disaster, and as the prime minister, Sun He had to carry this black cauldron and bow down.

What's more, he has long been crumbling by now.

And the civil and military officials are clear about this.

Seeing this situation, Gongsun He had to write and say: The ministers are despicable on the border, fortunately His Majesty does not give up, and he is used as the prime minister, and His Majesty has been in charge of the world for ten years.

Soon the letter arrived in front of the king.

"Gongsun He, a rebellious minister, still has the face to say such things?" The Son of Heaven looked at this letter, and the murderous intent in his heart finally permeated to the peak.

In his opinion, Gongsun He is too uninteresting and too faceless.

Thinking about it for more than ten years, this prime minister has not done anything in the prime minister's position, and has not put forward any suggestions.

even committed murder, embezzled and bent the law, wasting his trust and expectations in vain.

To this day, he even refuses to take the initiative to take the responsibility, goes to hang himself with the rope, and tries to throw the pot to me?

Outrageous! Outrageous!

"Since you don't have a shame on your face, then don't blame me for not thinking about it!" The Son of Heaven thought about it hatefully, so he wrote a reply on Gongsun He's recital: Prime Minister, I heard that those who bewitch the princes will be punished! Today, the prime minister compares himself to the savages on the border, does he think that I am a prince? Where is the Determination Public? The prime minister is reluctant!

This reply is really heartbreaking!

At the meeting of Jiagu, Duke Qi Jing ordered the dwarfs to dance in front of Duke Lu Ding, deliberately humiliating Duke Ding, and Confucius saw it and beheaded the dwarf, shocking Qi Hou.

So after the meeting, Jinggong returned the field of Wenyang, which had occupied the Lu State.

This event has been praised and touted by Confucian scholars for hundreds of years, and is considered a great achievement of Confucius.

And in this reply, Ruogong Sun He plays the role of a border savage, that is, a dwarf.

So isn't he, the son of heaven, Jing Gong?

So, where is Lu Dinggong? Where is Confucius, who assisted Lu Dinggong?

Therefore, as soon as this reply was received, Gongsun He just glanced at it, and closed the door silently.

He stared blankly at the handwritten reply of the Son of Heaven, and his complicated mood was indescribable.

Orr, he laughed.

He took off the prime minister's gold seal from his waist, looked at the seal that symbolized the highest status of the minister of the Han family, and laughed and cried.

"What's the trouble of wanting to add sin?" Gongsun He cried and laughed: "Even if I am as honest as Gu'an (Shen Tujia, the most incorruptible prime minister in Han Ji), Cai Ruo Beiping (Zhang Cang, the first recognized prime minister in Han Ji), Yong Ruo Fenyin (Guan Baby, the first fierce general of Emperor Gao), Zhi Ruzhan Hou (Xiao He), can An have the day of death?" ”

He took off his crown and hat, and whispered, "Is this prime minister what I want to be?" ”

Back then, he didn't want to be this prime minister at all, he just wanted to eat and wait for death in the position of a servant!

It's you, it's the crown prince, it's the queen, it's you, the emperor, who forced me to be.

Moreover, he appointed me as the prime minister, but he didn't give me the power, responsibility and authority of the prime minister at all!

The government affairs department is decided by the Lantai Inner Dynasty, and the military affairs are decided by Li Guangli and other generals.

In the past eleven years, has my Gongsun He made any decisions?

Have you given me the opportunity to make a decision?

Oh, now that something has happened, let me take the blame and let me die?

Gongsun He was indignant.

I thought of his grandson who had been beheaded and abandoned the city, and the son who was imprisoned in the prison of Zhijinwu.

He clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes widening.

But......

As a courtier, what can he do?

And......

Thinking about his family's wealth, more than 100,000 acres of land under his name, and the gold and jewelry piled up in the cellar.

He lowered his head and sighed lowly: "This family of ten thousand people, I don't know who to cheapen?" ”

At this moment, a low and sad chant sounded outside his mansion.

"The shallot is on the morning and the dew is He Yixi, the Ming Dynasty is more reverted, when will people return when they die!"

Gongsun He listened attentively and heard who was singing this elegy.

"Hahaha......" he chuckled: "Shide, Shide, when will you come down to accompany me?" ”

So he picked up a small piece of gold from the desk and swallowed it in his belly.

In the autumn of the first year of Yanhe, in August Jiachen (the third day of the first month), Prime Minister Ge Yihou Gongsun He committed suicide.
