Chapter 4: The Crisis of the Pei People

Chang'an is a huge Colosseum for Yunlang, and in the middle of this Colosseum there is a dragon squatting Liu Che.

Looking around, there were tigers, lions, hungry wolves, violent bears, poisonous snakes, crocodiles, and sharks, and he was wearing only a pair of humiliating pants, and holding in his hand a wooden stick that had just been broken from a tree and had green leaves.

In this case, the stick is definitely not something to attack, but a tool to dig a pit and hide yourself.

His only advantage over these beasts is that he knows which way things are going, and he dodges the fiercest part of the fighting, digging a dirt pit to quietly hide himself, and then showing a pair of eyes to carefully examine the world.

If he is given time, he will be able to make a hard and sharp sword, he will be able to make indestructible armor, and when he gets the tank out, he will not want to hide in the dirt pit, but want to stand in the center of the Colosseum, put the barrel of the tank against the dragon's head and ask him - who is the master of this world!

As for now, whether it's lying or pretending to be pitiful, survive first in order to have glory in the future.

From a long, long time ago, people found that the stronger people had an advantage, not only to catch wild beasts, but also to obtain food from their own kind.

Later, it was discovered that it was much easier to take food from the hands of one of its own kind than from the mouths of wild beasts.

Since this discovery became popular, the human world has changed a lot......

Power is really important, and sometimes it's the main driving force that determines the direction of the world.

There is a pear orchard at the foot of Huashan, and I don't know who his master is, anyway, the old man who guards the pear orchard let Yunlang and Cao Xiang scourge in the yard, and he never stopped it, and even got wicker baskets, hoping that they could pick more.

Generally speaking, squatting on a pear tree and eating pears is the happiest time, and in late autumn, most of the pears in the pear orchard are picked, and the remaining pears are specially left by the owner's family with a beautiful desire to hunt endlessly.

These pears are the best ripe, especially the few pears on the treetops that should have been green have been turned red by the sun, take a hard bite, these pears that are ripe to the extreme, sweet as honey, without the slightest sour taste, this is a good thing to worship the ancestors.

Next to the pear tree is the persimmon tree, which is full of red persimmons, and Yun Lang doesn't even have the idea of looking at this thing, and the persimmons that have not been frosted are completely abusing their stomachs.

Cao Xiang is different from Yun Lang, he always likes to get to the bottom of things, and in just two sentences, he learned the owner of this pear orchard from the old man who guarded the pear orchard.

These pears and persimmons were actually planted by a person named Zhou Bo.

This person is a typical powerful person, when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, Zhou Bo was cautious all his life, and when Empress Lu was in power, Zhou Bo served carefully, lest he anger this great woman.

After Empress Lu died, out of kindness, he sent all the people surnamed Lu to accompany Empress Lu with the sinister Chen Ping.

After he found out that Chen Ping was extremely dissatisfied with his position as the right prime minister, he immediately happily resigned, and from then on, Dahan entered an era when there was only one prime minister.

Chen Ping died the next year, and he became the only prime minister of the Han Dynasty at that time, but he didn't do things well, was deposed by Emperor Wen, and stayed in prison for two years.

"Zhou Hong's industry!"

After Cao Xiang figured things out, he directly said someone Yun Lang knew.

Speaking of Zhou Hong, Yun Lang has a good impression of this tall and thin gentleman, when the Huns came to Lin Yuan, it was this guy who fought with Zhang Lian to fight the Huns, although he was almost killed by the Huns in the end, Zhou Hong's performance was worthy of the name that he was the descendant of Zhou Bo.

"I haven't seen Zhou Hong for a long time, what is this guy doing now?"

Cao Xiang rode on a tree trunk, used a long pole to get down a pear, and saw Su Zhi catch it with his skirt under the tree, so he said: "I went to Jingzhou, got the title of a special envoy, hung it in Shaofu, and skinned and made armor for His Majesty in Yunmengze." ”

"It's a fat errand!"

"That's natural, his family's 10,000 households are closed, and now they have dropped to 4,000, and if they don't go out and do something, I think it will be difficult for even 3,000 households next year."

"So, Zhou Hong is the eldest son?"

"No, brother seven, he is the third, the eldest offended the prime minister Tian Wei was pressed on his body by the jailer at night with a sack full of sand, and he was crushed to death for two days in a row.

The second brother fought for his brother, killed four bad jailers, and then was beheaded by Tian Wei for murder.

When he arrived at Zhou Hong, he pretended to be stupid, pretending to forget how his two elder brothers died, and only drilled into the Qinglou all day long, which was ignored by Tian Wei, and he survived by luck and kept his title, but no one looked down on him. “

Yun Lang nodded and said: "So, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you look at this inconspicuous pear orchard, although it is far away in Taihua Mountain, it is still well organized." ”

"What's the use of having talent?

Your Majesty now likes the children of the poor family, you look at those important ministers in the court, one is counted as one, all of them were checked by His Majesty himself, although the change is faster, there will always be many people who still stay. ”

Yun Lang smiled when he heard this, patted Cao Xiang, who had just come down from the tree, and said, "You don't have to be so troublesome between you and my brothers, right?" ”

Cao Xiang shook his head and said, "I've tried it, but it doesn't work." ”

Yun Lang frowned and said: "In Chang'an, your reputation as the Marquis of Pingyang is much more useful than mine, and you can't handle it, you can expect me to do it?" ”

Cao Xiang sighed, took a bite of the pear in his hand and said, "You are still familiar with Gao Shiqing, right?" ”

Yun Lang smiled: "That dumb tomb robber who likes to sue the emperor? He was taken away by He Chou You, but he never came back.

I asked why I had it, but the old guy got angry and asked me not to meddle with things.

You also know that there is such a person, and he will never be untargeted, and he seems to have some kind thoughts about me, so I never asked about Gao Shiqing. Ah Xiang, if you can ignore it, you can too, and the things that can make He Chou have a solemn warning are generally not trivial things. ”

Cao Xiang smiled bitterly: "People generally have a position, you know this, right?" ”

Yun Lang saw Su Zhi coming, so he grabbed her waist and smiled: "My position is them." ”

Cao Xiang said: "I also want to only put my position on my wife and children, but unfortunately it can't be done, do you know no, what is the relationship between my ancestor Cao Shen and Zhou Bo?" ”

Yun Lang saw that Cao Xiang was serious, so he let go of Su Zhi's waist, stood up straight and said, "I only know that your ancestor and the ancestor of the Zhou family and Emperor Taizu Gao are all Pei people!" ”

Cao Xiang nodded and said: "This is also a link that maintains our old nobles, because they are all from Peidi, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there is an additional kind of person called Peiren."

If Emperor Taizu Gao is not a Pei person, we Pei people will be eliminated by the emperor, there is nothing to say.

Emperor Taizu Gao has always been a chivalrous person, and Empress Lu is even more unkind, but ah, even after experiencing the rule of these two, no matter what they did to the world and what they did to their courtiers, the society of the Han Dynasty still did not waver.

I don't know how much effort I have exerted in this, and therefore, you see how many heroes Empress Lu has killed, but I don't see Empress Lu killing Peiren.

Pei people commit crimes, the most serious is to dismiss the official and take the title, such as Fan Xu, such as Zhou Bo, even if he is questioned and dismissed, he will still be given a way to live in the end, even if he does not give it to himself, he will give it to his children and grandchildren.

Ah Lang, now it's troublesome, Your Majesty is going to start targeting our Pei people, Gongsun Hong, Zhang Tang, Wang Wenshu, these people think that the Pei people's corpse is on it, and they have made no contribution to the Han Dynasty, and they are a group of poisonous insects that are attached to the Han River's body to suck blood, and they must be cleaned up with fierce medicine. ”

Yun Lang thought for a moment and nodded: "Gongsun Hong's idea is actually right, the world was finally made into a county system by the First Emperor, which of you Pei people doesn't have thousands of feudal households?"

Isn't that family's land endless? That family is not a group of servants and maids, and that is not a drunken dream?

It's really time to clean up. ”
