Chapter 16 The outside must first be at ease
"Ming Gong, since ancient times, you can't punish the doctor, you broke Wang De before, and it has caused the entire Bingzhou Shilin to complain. The family is the most important face, if Wang De's mansion is raided at this time, the Wang family will definitely turn against Ming Gong. And the family has always been in the same spirit, and the Wang family is the head of the Bingzhou family, and the Bingzhou scholar family is the only horse head.
Ming Gong's move is really to force the Bingzhou clan to go to your opposite! ”
Wen Shu's face was full of anxiety, and he tried hard to persuade Dong Zhuo, he was born in the Shi clan, so he naturally knew how terrifying the power of the Shi clan was.
He didn't want Dong Zhuo to be harmed by the Bingzhou family.
When Wen Shu was a teenager, he traveled to all counties and counties in the state, and even visited remote mountain villages. Wen Shu saw that the people starved to death in the year of famine, and he was helpless; I also saw the year of a good harvest, and there were also people who sold their sons and daughters, just so that they could live; Wen Shu saw the family bullying men and women and ravaging the people, but he still couldn't stop it.
Wen Shu deeply felt the suffering of the people in Bingzhou, and he also saw the harm of the family's gate valve.
At that time, Wen Shu wanted to change this situation.
The young and frivolous Wen Shu did not give advice to the Taiyuan Taishou and the Bingzhou Assassin History at that time, and the answer to him was not the scornful ridicule of the Assassin Shi Taishou, or the evil words of the children of the Bingzhou family.
For a while, Wen Shu turned out to be an outlier among the Bingzhou scholars, and even the children of their Wen family treated Wen Shu coldly.
No one understands meekness, and no one sympathizes with meekness!
It is simply a joke that a child of the scholar clan sympathizes with those ant-like pariahs, and even thinks of weakening his own interests to help those ordinary people.
Later, Dong Zhuo came, he was the assassin of Bingzhou, Wen Shu found that this assassin was a bold and righteous person, and he never looked at the family of Bingzhou in his eyes, at that time, Wen Shu believed that this assassin was a hero, and he could change the status quo of Bingzhou.
Wen Shu came to the door to ask to see Dong Zhuo, and received Dong Zhuo's warm treatment. After some talking, Dong Zhuo was shocked by Wen Shu's knowledge and ambition, and immediately recommended him to the imperial court as filial piety and honesty, and recruited him to engage in the Assassin's Mansion.
At the beginning, Dong Zhuo obeyed Wen Shuyan and asked him to help take care of the affairs of the state wholeheartedly. With the assistance of Wen Shu, Dong Zhuo quickly stabilized the overall situation of the state, suppressed the gate valve of the scholar clan, rectified the rule of officials, and introduced some policies to benefit the people.
But the good times didn't last long, just when Wen Shu wanted to show his strength and completely change the chaos in the state, Dong Zhuo changed.
In other words, Dong Zhuo has fallen.
This heroic Xiliang warrior, when he will suppress the powerful family, he feels the pleasure of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, he is full of spirit, no longer satisfied with the status quo, and begins to become greedy, becoming a robber, robbing the family gatekeeper, but also robbing ordinary people, rampant expropriation, excessive exploitation, making the entire state miserable, so that Wen Shu's three years of conscientious efforts have also turned into an empty dream.
Gentle forgiveness has been dissuaded many times, but to no avail.
Extremely disappointed, Wen Shu resigned and retired to the township, and Dong Zhuo was not long transferred to Hedong Taishou, when Dong Zhuo left, the entire state, whether it was a big family or a poor and lowly people, all applauded.
Wen Shu thought that he would never see Dong Zhuo again in this life. However, after a lapse of six years, Dong Zhuo was transferred to the state pastor, set foot on the land of the state again, and once again recruited him to work for the state pastor.
Originally, Wen Shu didn't want to apply, but now there are not only corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the state, and the family lords are harming the people, but even the Huns are invading the border, internal and external troubles coexist, and the situation in the state is precarious.
Seeing Dong Zhuo again, Wen Shu found that today's Dong Zhuo has changed again, and has become the righteous and cloudy assassin Dong Zhuo that he first saw back then, no longer as brutal and wanton as a few years ago, and now Dong Zhuo is talking about the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, and the kind of behavior of working hard for the country and the people is not like a fraud, which makes Wen Shu want to assist Dong Zhuo well, help Dong Zhuo reverse the situation in the state, quell the Xiongnu rebellion, rectify the rule of officials, suppress the strong, and let the people of the state live a rich life.
"Besides, the Battle of Yanmen is imminent, if Ming Gong cleans up the rear at this time, it will inevitably lead to unstable morale, in case the front line is unfavorable, then the entire state will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Huns!"
Although Wen Shu is very supportive of Dong Zhuo's rectification of the rule of officials and suppression of the powerful family, how can this score time?
In Wen Shu's view, with the current situation, the most important thing is to repel the Xiongnu first, and then slowly rectify the internal governance, first outside and then inside.
Like Dong Zhuo, he is fierce as soon as he comes up, and if he is in chaos, he will definitely force those family heroes to be in a hurry, and those Taishou county orders who resisted the Huns on the front line will definitely pick and choose not to do it when they hear Dong Zhuo doing this in the rear.
When the time comes, it is not impossible for the two groups to join forces and force Dong Zhuo out of the state.
Wen Shu has always been cautious and cautious, step by step, steady and steady. In his opinion, Dong Zhuo is actually a little eager to achieve quick success.
And in internal affairs, the most taboo thing is to rush for quick success!
If you are not careful, you will be defeated and die with no place to be buried!
Dong Zhuo heard Wen Shu's bitter words of persuasion, suppressed the anger in his heart a little, and said: "But now that there is not even a penny of grain in the treasury, and the soldiers on the front line have no food, grass and military salaries, how can they fight?"
Look at it, these are the copywriters on the front line who are too shou county orders to urge grain and grass and military salaries! ”
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the ground and handed it to Wen Shu.
Wen Shu took the bamboo slip and opened it to see that it was a grain urging document sent by Ding Yuan, the Taishou of Yanmen.
The book said that the Hun cavalry was menacing, and several major battles had exhausted all the money and grain in the Yanmen County treasury. Now that the front line is short of money and food, and the soldiers are hungry to fight against the Huns, if the state treasury does not allocate grain and grass, I am afraid that the defenders on the front line will not be able to hold out for a few days, and even the defense line of Mayi Guangwu will collapse.
Wen Shu frowned, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said, "The situation is so urgent? ”
Dong Zhuo was silent, but nodded helplessly.
Wen Shu said, "Ming Gong, if this is the case, it is necessary to immediately pry open the mouths of the powerful people of the family and let them spit out something.
But there is one thing that Ming Gong needs to pay attention to, you can't be in a hurry and push those powerful people too hard, so as not to be self-defeating! ”
Dong Zhuo bowed his head, and a murderous expression appeared on his face full of meat.
I only heard Dong Zhuo say, "We don't have a choice, we must first settle inside!" ”
