Chapter 12 Discipline and Discipline
Originally, according to the laws of the Chu State, Xia Huan, who had not reported his official rank, had to wait for the county order at the door. However, the county man in front of him directly led Xia Huan into the county office.
"Son, sit less, I'll go and report to my family." After the county man bowed his eyebrows again, he hurried towards the back office.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin face ran out of the back office.
"Xia Guan Yingshang County Commander Lin Mu, I have seen the son. I don't know what I can do for Childe? ”
Looking at the Yingshang County Order, who also lowered his eyebrows and ears, Xia Huan sneered: "Hehe, son." ”
Previously, Xia Huan had already reported his name. As the commander of Yingshang County, this Lin Mu did not call himself His Royal Highness, but called himself a son, either he didn't read the official document well, or he didn't even read the official document.
It can be seen how much the rule of the royal family has declined here.
"Ben Gongzi is looking for the county magistrate, but there is nothing else to do, I just want to ask, where is Ben Gongzi's mansion?"
Xia Huan's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip. It's a pity that the county order in front of me has low eyebrows and ears, and I can't see it in my eyes.
Yingshang County Commander still said with a somewhat flattering taste: "I don't know which junior the son is, if the lower officials know, they will definitely be able to help the son." ”
"Shoudu Xia."
"Shoudu Xia's ......" Lin Mu muttered softly, and at the same time, his mind was also recalling, which one of the so-called Shoudu Xia clans in Yingshang County was there.
However, just a moment later, Lin Mu let out a cold sweat and knelt down.
"The sinner doesn't know that His Highness is coming, I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!"
"How, remember? I thought that Yingshang County had never received an edict from my father! Xia Huan's tone was flat, but anyone who listened to it couldn't help but shudder.
"Received! I have received! Yingshang County ordered Lin Mu to nod quickly in response.
However, then, before Xia Huan could speak, Lin Mu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly cried again.
"Your Highness, the sinners are looking forward to you so hard!"
Lin Mu's tearful appearance is extremely realistic, either his true feelings are revealed, or his acting skills are too good.
However, between the two, Xia Huan is more inclined to the former. After all, in this is also a powerful place, a small county order is almost useless.
However, understanding does not necessarily mean that it is forgivable. A county order, even if it is not as powerful as the local scholars, but groveling to this point is really infuriating.
Although Xia Huan didn't speak, Lin Mu cried even louder.
"Your Highness, you don't know! The criminal minister was born in the Han Dynasty, and was appreciated by His Majesty, so he stole this rich land. I thought that Sansheng was lucky, but I didn't think it was a chore. In the county, there are violations of law and discipline everywhere, and the criminals also want to discipline them, but those people are a Jiuqing today and a Sangong tomorrow. Where can the sinner afford to offend! ”
Xia Huan didn't rush to punish this Lin County Order first, but said: "Tell me, why this Yingshang has become like this." Don't tell me, you haven't been here for so long and don't know why. ”
"Whoa!" Lin Mu responded, and then told everything eloquently.
It turned out that the reason why Yingshang became like this was not what Xia Huan thought at first, the dragons were fighting, and no one could suppress the powerful.
The root of all diseases can be traced back to the time of Chu Taizu.
At that time, the authority of the Xia clan was increasing day by day, and the Chu Emperor at that time, that is, the son of the overlord Xiang Yu, under the persuasion of his henchmen, wanted to get rid of the Xia clan several times.
Taizu was also very aware of this, and began to prepare for Xiang Daichu early.
And if you want to be the emperor, it is impossible without the support of the scholars.
As the discoverer and controller of the trade road of the Chu State, Taizu naturally also focused on the business road. promised a lot of benefits to those scholars, and this is the most crucial part of it.
Business pursues profits, and the scholars who have long been aroused to be greedy naturally stand on the side of Taizu. Ling Taizu successfully took Xiang Dai Chu.
However, greedy as a tiger, Xia Huan knows the danger in it, how can that traverser Taizu not know?
It's a pity that in the early days of the founding of the Xia family, the external troubles were greater than the internal worries, and Taizu's energy was basically placed abroad. This also caused the seeds of the scholars to begin to germinate.
When the border stabilized a little, before Taizu could start the internal troubles, he died due to the recurrence of old injuries.
The next thing, Xia Huan can guess it in general.
Taizu died, and the state of Chu became turbulent again. The new emperor, his father, Xia Ze, had to continue to fight the rebellion in person.
By the time he sat on the throne and counted carefully, more than ten years had passed. The nobles of the scholar clan also took firm roots in this chin.
If you want to get rid of it, you have to consider whether it will cause a serious backlash.
As for why Emperor Chu would divide Xia Huan, a prince who is not yet the age of a weak crown, to this place, the reason is also obvious.
In the eyes of the world, he is the youngest son of Emperor Chu and the son of the prince, who is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager Chu and is a spoiled child. When he was crowned at the beginning, the Manchu ministers also thought that it was just a joke between children.
Since it was a joke, if he accidentally made any mistakes, Emperor Chu also had enough reasons to protect him. So that those nobles have nothing to say.
Moreover, not only did Chu Emperor Xia Ze have the intention of letting him deal with Yingshang at will, but after that, his prince brother also seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Yingshang.
Now it seems that in the ten-mile long pavilion, the prince's brother is giving people and making promises, and he must be reminding him.
Xia Huan, who exhaled a breath of turbidity and understood everything, looked at the eyes of the county commander of Nalin, and also eased a little.
Even Chu Emperor Xia Ze can't directly intervene in the problem, what can he solve with a Han scholar who has no foundation?
"I understand your troubles, get up." Xia Huan waved his hand and said.
"Your Highness!" Lin Mu, who got up, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that today's level might have passed.
However, looking at His Highness's expression, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with those powerful people to the extreme.
In addition, those powerful families on the wing have long been arrogant and domineering, and it is inevitable to collide with this little prince in the future.
Now, what he needs to think about is how to protect himself when there is a conflict between the little prince and those nobles.
Compared with Lin County's troubles, Xia Huan needs to think about more.
The forces on the chin, the canine teeth are intertwined, and they are intricate.
Among these scholars, there are not only the old families of the Chu State, but also the two wealthy families that are now prosperous, the Jing family and the Ji family.
No matter which side it is, just a prince like him who has no real power, if he wants to overthrow the foundation of one party on the Ying, it is not necessary to think about it.
Therefore, Xia Huan's top priority now is to reorganize the discipline. Let those scholars, as well as those ordinary people, know that this Yingshang County is not a toy of the scholars, and it is still under the king of the Chu Emperor.
However, even to do this, it is not easy.
The interests involved in the chin are too great, and most of them are huddled together. Even above the court, the Jing family and the Ji family, who are fighting together, also have an absolute tacit understanding in this aspect of Yingshang.
Even Chu Emperor Xia Ze didn't dare to intervene easily, with his Xia Huan, did he really have the strength to change the current status quo?
If you want to reorganize the program, it's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!
