The messenger Zhao Xin returned to Julu and met with Xin Xing and Xin Ping, and after a night of earnest talk, the next day, Zhao Xin announced to the entire Julu that Taishou Xin Xing had hanged himself, and Mr. Xin Ping followed.

Before Taishou hanged himself, he handed over the Julu Taishou Seal Letter to himself and entrusted himself with the functions of Taishou.

After this news was reported to the officials of the entire Julu, there was no crying and shouting as people imagined, or the six gods had no owner, and they panicked. On the contrary, all the people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had unloaded a thousand catties of burdens and heavy burdens.

Since the first Taishou has a will, that is, according to the rules, it is the former Taishou Xin Xing who gave way to Zhao Xin.

Don't make a fuss, now the officials of the Han Dynasty don't have to worry about the court, Tao Qian and Liu Biao can even teach and receive the state pastor privately, not to mention the Taishou of a county?

Zhao Xin also sat in the position of the former Taishou and faced the subordinate Wenwu who had withered talents.

"Xiantai is diligent in political affairs, treats the people well, and has made great contributions to Julu County, and he was frugal during his lifetime, but he has to be extremely glorified after that, so he can show that the people of Julu do not forget the kindness of the old Taishou, so all the family wealth and slaves of the Taishou must be well protected, and the county must also squeeze out some money to help Gu Taishou and his brother's family, and not chill the hearts of the ancestors."

This is all in the question, and everyone nods silently yes.

At this time, Julu Grain Cao gave up his hand: "If the late Taishou returns to his hometown for burial, and at the same time ensures that Gu Taishou's family is not short of food and clothing, this requires a lot of money, but our Julu granary has been emptied by the ancestor of the father, and we really can't make up much money." ”

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Old Si Cao is worried that someone will give this money and grain." ”

This old Si Cao retreated, everyone knew it, and it was true, the old lady and his brother hanged themselves, that is, they wanted to keep the last family business for the old lord, and the hope of making a comeback was desperate, that is, he had agreed to give up the giant deer. Selling this Julu County, how can you exchange it for the mourning glory of the old man.

But now I am starting to think about the very critical question, the giant deer is the giant deer of the old lady, but it is also everyone's giant deer, that is, who will sell the giant deer to, and how much benefit will it be sold. And then either in the official position, or in the money, everyone has worked hard for so many years, so why do you have to get a piece of the pie.

Since the old lady shou entrusted the giant deer to Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin also ran to Cao Cao's representative Xu Huang, and just returned from Lu Peng, of course, he also has some understanding of the two sides, and now let's see what kind of situation and attitude this successor has.

Zhao Xin glanced at his original colleagues below expressionlessly: "Now our giant deer is facing two difficult choices, one is Cao Cao, the prime minister who occupies the righteousness of the imperial court, and the other is Lu Peng, who is strong and strong, and has occupied the entire Yizhou, now let's talk about it, which side are we going to defect to?" ”

Looking at the group of colleagues below bowing their heads and saying nothing, Zhao Xin showed the hole cards he mastered: "If we defect to Cao Cao, everyone here will be crowned as a knight, just like the Lu brothers in Xindu, a few of them who are present can still get it." ”

Then he didn't look at those who were eager to try, and his eyes were full of eagerness: "And Lu Peng, this time the conditions offered to us, but there are two ways to choose, the first is to give enough money, and the northern grassland will draw a piece of land, so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy prosperity for several generations." Second, let us stay where we are, or move up to the next level. Looking at the way everyone turned their heads and ears, Zhao Xin coughed and stopped everyone's communication: "But this official can only be done for one year, in this year, if there is greed and fraud of the people, it will be severely punished in accordance with the laws of Youzhou, even if there is no fault, after a year, it will be re-assessed by Lu Peng, if the assessment is not passed, it will still be removed from the official position, but Lu Peng also promised that after being dismissed, he will still give a sum of money for the elderly, but it is not as much as he has now directly taken money." Where do you go from here, carefully weigh one or two. ”

All the officials began to think about the benefits and losses in their hearts.

At this time, an elderly official below stood up and said confidently: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng represents the Son of Heaven, I am a subject of the Han Dynasty, and I am a subject of orthodoxy, this is a matter of course, what else is there to discuss?" ”

The remarks made by this elderly official represent the thoughts of some officials, and the orthodoxy of the imperial court has penetrated into the bone marrow in the deliberate education of Confucianism in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and this is one of them. Another point, these are the children of wealthy families, so these people pay more attention to reputation, if they surrender to Cao Cao, not only do they have the reputation of a loyal minister, but if they get a marquis again, it is really a glorious ancestor.

At the same time, as for the glory and wealth, they don't have to worry about it at all, as long as the official is in hand, it's just a matter of spending more effort to defraud and blackmail, and if you are promoted, you will get rich, and if you are promoted, you will naturally get rich, do you still care about Lu Peng's points?

At this time, a middle-aged official stood up and expressed his opinion loudly to Zhao Xin: "Cao Cao, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, named Han Chen, is actually a traitor, all of them are obvious to the world, he is now in control of the court, we belong to the so-called Han court, in fact, it is also a disguised surrender to Cao Cao traitor, the style of the scholar and the literati told me that right and wrong must be clear, loyalty and treachery are incompatible, I am a member of the Han court, resolutely stand under the banner of General Lu Peng's rebellion, and fight for life to calm the troubled times and restore the Han community." ”

Although Confucianism has been educated for hundreds of years, the Han people have been taught in their bones the orthodoxy of loyalty and patriotism, but the troubled times are the opportunity to break the original confinement, or that sentence, countless ambitious, eager heroes, are eager to establish a great cause in this rare troubled times, to achieve the long-suppressed revenge in their chests. Break the conformist rules that the elderly officials wish to protect, the rotten etiquette of those who oppress them breathlessly.

This is an era of conflict between conservatism and change, this is an era of great destruction, this is an era of heroes creating the times, and in turn, it is an era of the times creating heroes, full of opportunities and adventures.

At the same time, this middle-aged official also weighed the conditions offered by Lu Peng.

In the money land, everyone has long known the situation of those families who have obtained land in the grassland, the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the grassland is boundless, allowing you to develop freely, as long as you manage it carefully, you are a prince.

As for the official position given by Lu Peng, it is also needed by some young officials who want to make a difference, as long as they are not greedy for ink within a year, they will have the opportunity to improve, since they fail to pass the assessment, they also have a sum of money to get, so they can advance and retreat, it is better than going to Cao Cao and being snubbed and white-eyed.

So the two sides had their own opinions, and they quarreled for a while, and now Zhao Xin, the real ruler of Julu, sat on it, just listening carefully to the opinions of both sides, but did not participate in any debate.
