Bidding farewell to the group of villagers, Mo Qian and Guan Fan walked back together, and Huang Chen, after listening to the accusations of these villagers, left in a huff and didn't say anything. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Mo Qian guessed that this was definitely not because of his conscience or anything, but because if he continued to be here, he would not be able to help but beat this group of villagers to death. The things that the villagers said pierced his heart word by word.

Indeed, what they said was not wrong, the Huang family was indeed preparing to annex the land in this vicinity in order to expand their strength. But what about the Huang family?

And what family is not like this? Behind the rise and fall of every family business, there is no bloody struggle and life and death, and I don't know how many unjust souls moaned day and night under the soil.

Even though he knew that what his family had done would make the situation of these people extremely miserable, he did not regret it at all.

Not only yourself, but the whole capital is like this, if you don't annex them today and make yourself stronger, then tomorrow, you will be swallowed up, this is the rule of life in the capital, and it is also the eternal law of this world.

In order for a family to be sustainable, it takes generations of accumulation, but the collapse of a family can be completed in just a moment.

And what they have to do is to keep the family going on endlessly.

Because only if the family exists, they will have the resources that the family will provide for them, and even the future generations.

Mo Qian, who lived in later generations, has never seen such a thing, but he has seen too much in history books and film and television works.

Therefore, the understanding of these things is even clearer than Guan Fan and Li Yun, the children of the two official eunuchs who have no experience in the world, he can guess it.

Huang Chen will not let go of these people, it is one thing for them to take advantage of the reason, but it is another thing to beat him, after all, it is not whoever has the advantage of the reason.

In front of Huang Chen, these people are just ants-like figures. Even the Liu family, which was rampant at the beginning, was easily cleaned up by him, and the army was mobilized to come to the door to seal it up in person, using the simplest means of framing, and since then Guangyuan has lost a Liu family with infinite scenery.

This matter was reported to the emperor, although he was angry, but after he was angry, he couldn't do anything, this is the advantage of the family, and he will be affected by the whole body.

Huang Jin was only punished by a one-year fine, and it was found that Liu Qi had hidden tribute, which was also a small merit, but in addition to these, the emperor had to add a verbal encouragement, but finally persuaded him not to be so reckless next time, and not to use the army to deal with these things.

But this punishment is just a drop in the bucket for a feudal official like him, and the people below don't know how much more money than these.

The emperor is not because of his kindness to Huang Jin, but more because of his helplessness, helplessness to Huang Jin, helplessness to the family, this is the biggest hidden danger that Daqi is facing now, and the crisis in the outside world is only superficial.

Just imagine, a big country like Daqi, which has developed for thousands of years, if it weren't for its own development problems, which country would dare to confront it?

Looking at the dynasties of the past and present, how many of them were really destroyed by the outside world by force?

Which one is not because of its own development? from

The strong Han Dynasty to the chaotic Three Kingdoms, from the prosperous Tokyo Kaifeng to the hatred of Yashan, from the Son of Heaven guarding the country, the monarch died in the Ming Dynasty to Yangzhou for the ten days, Jiading Three Massacres.

These historical memories that have left countless sighs for future generations are all because they have become rigid, the monarch has become rigid and self-serving, and the courtiers have become weak and incompetent.

Just relying on those so-called loyal ministers and masters, there is no way to save the country at all.

If we are not able to fundamentally change this situation, even a temporary revival will not escape the fate of decline.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, Zhu Youzhang, known as the "Lord of Zhongxing", was the country very dark before him, although his governance relieved the pressure on society to a certain extent.

But it still failed to solve the real crisis of the Ming Dynasty, so the Zhengde and Jiajing periods after him were the beginning of the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

Why? Is it really just because of the emperor?

Perhaps we can often hear a sentence in history books that the power of the Ming Dynasty was highly centralized, but such a power was in the hands of the emperor?

I'm afraid not.

The emperor is also subject to a lot of restrictions, under the perfect system, the entire state system is running with a high degree of precision, in fact, it is not easy for the emperor to really intervene in things.

So we always attribute the decline of the Ming Dynasty to the mediocrity and absurdity of the monarch.

But it is under such a system that there can be an emperor who has not been in court for decades, and such a country has not yet perished, so you can see a little clue. At the end of the day, it's all about those in power.

Mo Qian knew that Huang Chen would definitely retaliate, and according to his temperament, it was impossible for him not to retaliate.

So when Li Yun took out the money and distributed it to these villagers, Mo Qian didn't stop it, but just hinted on the side that let them leave here as soon as possible after taking the money, and he couldn't protect them.

In fact, Mo Qian couldn't even protect himself, which was Mo Qian's helplessness

。 Mo Qian smiled a little bitterly, to be honest, although the things of these people are miserable, Mo Qian is not a fledgling young man, besides, he has been honed in society for a while, such things have been seen more or less, and he is not so easy to be moved by them.

The thing he really felt distressed about was that his status was rising higher and higher, but he felt more and more that he was so insignificant in the eyes of others, and he still felt that he couldn't help himself, but it was not as easy as when he was the county master in Ning Yuan.

But the more this is the case, it makes Mo Qian want to control his own destiny.

"How far are we from the capital?" Mo Qian sighed, raised his head and looked into the distance, now he had long been away from Ningyuan, the rain had long since stopped, but there was still a little moist breath in the air, but the slanting sun on the horizon could still make people feel warm.

"There are still less than two hundred miles away, and according to our footsteps, we can reach it in less than two days, so don't worry, big brother."

Guan Fan hurriedly said, although he said so, Guan Fan's brows still had a trace of worry that could not be dissolved.

I escaped from marriage, and when I arrived in the capital, I didn't know how I would be cleaned up by the family, my father was the God of Wealth of Daqi, the important minister of the country, and he would not kill it, but he poked such a big basket, presumably a family law is indispensable.

Besides, the person he really likes is still in Ningyuan, and it is unknown when and when he will be able to see each other again, how can he not worry?

"That's right, Mo Qian, when you arrive in the capital, you must take a good look, it is not comparable to your little Ning Yuan, and there are many delicious things in the capital...... There are a lot of things I haven't eaten, so why don't we take this opportunity to have a good meal? I've heard about it in the palace, what kind of pink lotus root, rice noodles......"

For Li Yun, a county lord who has been raised in the boudoir since childhood, the capital is a mysterious and strange world.

He looked far away, and the mountains blocked his vision, and he couldn't see the distance, as if he couldn't see what he should do in the future.

He just wants to be a county magistrate, there is no other requirement, but such a request is so difficult to achieve here, when he walks to the capital step by step, it is the time when he loses his freedom.

But he has a little bit of expectations, what will the national capital that countless people yearn for be?

Where are you, is it soaring, or is there no place to die?

Mo Qian didn't know. Guan Fan and Li Yun both have different capitals in their hearts, for Guan Fan, the noisy capital is nothing more than fireworks and willow lane, he is familiar with every restaurant in the capital, and the freshness is not even as good as the small county town of Ningyuan.

But for Li Yun, the capital is a place where she has always lived, but there is no place that she can understand, and it is extremely attractive to her.

It is even said that in this world, everyone has a capital in their hearts, just like everyone who is familiar with history has a prosperous Chang'an in their hearts.

"Let's go." Mo Qian retracted his gaze from afar, and quietly went back to the way he came, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily hummed an unknown tune,

"I passed through the town, the night was as cold as water, and the moon was bending in the sky

Passing by Jiangnan, I saw a scholar sleeping on the willow bank

I passed by the long street, bustling and hawking

Passing by Luoyang, I saw the young lady painting the building embroidering peonies

I gradually began to dream of Chang'an in the story every night

There are people in Chang'an City who sing poems and 300 songs, all the joys and sorrows

When I arrived, the sun was just right and the wind was blowing

But why did I suddenly lose sight in Chang'an

These vast palaces are not what I imagined

I once had a picture scroll in my heart, a picture of what it looked like

Chang'an City suddenly began to rain, wetting the vicissitudes of prosperity

In the panic, I forgot the direction I came......"

…………

…………

But in the capital not far away, it was a completely different mood from Mo Qian, but the capital exploded at this time.

"Something big happened, I'm back, I'm back!"

Several people shouted loudly in the noisy streets of the capital, but it was obvious that their actions were regarded as neuropathy by others, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no neurology specialist in Daqi, they would have stayed in it a long time ago.

So the people around could only resist the urge to pull a few bluestone slabs from the ground and come up from the back of their heads, and said impatiently: "What's coming?" What is all the fuss? ”

originally thought that if they asked like this, the other party would definitely gossip and explain things clearly, after all, they have successfully aroused the curiosity of the people around them now.

It's just that they didn't expect that they directly skipped them and rushed towards the lively teahouse in the distance.

"Hey, what the hell are these bastards trying to do? It made the old lady's heart itch, but now she doesn't say it. ”

A woman passing by looked at the men and stamped her feet in hatred.

When a man around heard it, he laughed and laughed: "Is the little lady itchy?" Do you want to help stop the itching at the bottom? ”

"Phew...... The old lady was talking about those little rabbit cubs just now. After that, he raised his foot and chased after him, and sure enough, the woman's curiosity was extremely heavy, and she was still scolding just now, but now she couldn't stand the news that others had said half of it.

Besides, the few young men who rushed on the street recklessly just now were originally angry all the way on the street, but when they arrived at the teahouse, they enjoyed the same treatment as guests.

Someone here was serving tea and pouring water, and someone next to him knocked on his leg, "Tell me quickly, where is that person back?" A person next to him hurriedly said after handing the water to the young man.

Unexpectedly, the young man was not in a hurry, "Don't worry, you know that the emperor personally issued an order to summon him back, so he will definitely come back, it's just a matter of time, it's useless for you to be anxious now, isn't it?" ”

Talking here, a lot of people have gathered in the teahouse, and some people have come out, these people are the sons of some rich families in the capital, and most of them are still concubines, that is, the one who often receives the monthly silver regularly, but has no status in the family.

Often wandering in the capital, idle.

But because it's just a concubine, there is no power at all, so they don't dare to do anything that is rampant, and most of the time is spent sleeping in the willows, in addition, most of the gossip in the capital is also spread by them.

"What's new about you that makes you so excited? Let's hear it! ”

"Hahaha, this thing is not new, that is...... That man is coming back!" The young man winked at the man who asked.

"That person?" Questioner a little confused? But when he suddenly came to his senses, his reaction was even stronger than that of the young man, and he almost jumped.

"You mean that man is coming back? The person who specifically fought with the big family and beat Huang Chen, the sister-in-law of the Huang family, to eat, overthrew more than a dozen corrupt officials, but there was nothing to do, he is back? ! ”

The man used several definite words in succession, as if this was the only way to express his reverence for the man in his words.

"That's right, it's him, now he has returned to the place less than two hundred miles away from the capital, and he will be able to reach the capital in less than two days."

Hearing this news, excitement appeared on everyone's faces, and their hands were still clenched tightly, and there was even a trace of admiration, just like some modern cults.

The person in their mouth is naturally Mo Qian.

But they are not familiar with Mo Qian at all, and even strictly speaking, their family is still hostile to Mo Qian. It's just that this thing is interesting to say. (To be continued.) )
