On July 29 of the third year of Guangshun, the civil officials of the Yanzhou department finally asked Li Bin to meet Li Bin for the first time in Fudongcheng and asked about the strange situation of Yanzhou politics in the past few days. It's just that they were blocked outside the prime minister's mansion, and Li Jingcun, the chief secretary of Li Bin, who was in charge of intercepting them, told them that the prime minister was unwell and could not meet them. For many years, Li Bin has been regarded as the civil leader of Yanzhou, whether it was during the Gao family's reign or during the Zhou period, this person worked hard to support the confrontation between the civil officials and the family. Although the power of the civil officials in the troubled times of the feudal town was limited, Li Bin's efforts still made him regarded as a red banner by the civil officials of Yanzhou for decades.

Now that the civil leader who has been promoted to prime minister suddenly can't get sick at this critical juncture, the civil officials who followed the article and participated in the boycott of the festival suddenly cast a shadow in their hearts.

In the hearts of these civil officials, their behavior is naturally undoubtedly just, they are maintaining the order of male and female superiority and inferiority that has existed since ancient times, and this order is, to put it bluntly, what Dong Zhongshu called "Gangchang", Li Wenge's appointment of women as officials is undoubtedly a chaotic and deviant move to confuse and disrupt Gangchang, it is against the will of God, it is a challenge to the system of the ancestors, and it is the natural duty of Yanzhou civil officials to resolutely fight back against this absurd act, and it is the "justice on the political line".

In other words, in the eyes of the civil officials in Yanzhou, what Li Wenge committed this time was a "mistake of line", and this mistake needs to rely on the sense of justice of the civil officials to correct the defects, that is, this sense of justice generally rarely has the courage to appear alone.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was an uproar in Yan'an City, because Zhou Maosheng, who had been serving in Buda Prefecture in Yan'an County for several months, announced the explosive news before noon that the civil officials in Yanzhou had boycotted General Li's resignation. Of course, in this news, Zhou Maosheng deliberately downplayed the cause of the incident. At the same time, he gave a tendentious description of the behavior of the civil officials in Yanzhou, which made the people of Li Shu who listened to his preaching feel that the behavior of these civil officials was simply like forcing the palace.

After this news was preached again, people kept throwing copper coins at the stage, demanding that it be preached again.

Since the first example of the state order to be open to the public, which is the first example of open government affairs in Yanzhou, it has received unexpected effects that even Li Wenge did not estimate. As the state orders of Buda became a reality one by one, the trust of the people in these ancestors, who sprayed their saliva on the stage every day, grew. Often, one day, after the state order has been completed, people start throwing copper coins at the stage, asking them to tell some other information first. This is naturally a good subsidy for these poor scholars in the state capital, and they sell some of the state capital information they know to Li Shu.

At first, they were still more cautious, just saying some innocuous news, but later they saw that Han Wei and Yanzhou officials did not restrain this. Gradually, the book grew bigger and bigger. The information is also beginning to have some basic commercial value. With the development of this situation, there are gradually more and more businessmen in the crowd who come to the stage every day to listen to the state's orders, and these people have joined more economically to stimulate the work enthusiasm of these primitive journalists, and their news has slowly developed from a superficial taste at the beginning to cover all aspects of politics, economy, culture and so on in the counties of the state capital.

It was not until Li Wenge returned to Yanzhou and martial law was lifted that these journalists enthusiastically described to the people under Yanzhou's rule how their marshals were clever and courageous, and they burned down the city of Tongwan, destroyed the Pingxia Department, and swept away the Hulu in the north......

Unconsciously. The original focus of the work of the Buda Prefecture has now quietly shifted to the broadcast of news, and at most, on one day, the journalist Zhou Maosheng preached on the high platform of Yan'an County Street, earning a full 733 yuan. =UC eBook-First-Release=

On this day, he just told the news again, and the crowd around the audience became dense and sluggish, not only the common people, but also some big businesses began to stand under the stage to pay attention. When the sermon reached the third time, a middle-aged merchant in a silk robe walked along the ranks to the edge of the podium, carrying the three copper coins he had just received from his servant, and threw them directly on the podium.

"Sir, today I will only talk about the news related to the resignation of General Li. This is Mr. today's moisturizing asset! ”

Zhou Maosheng recognized this person. Unlike the Chen family, who deals in strategic materials such as grain and horses, this person runs a grocery store and does retail business.

By the afternoon of the preaching, there was already a crowd of people in front of the podium, and many homeless people who had been working in Dongcheng rushed over to listen to the news, which made the nearby streets extremely narrow and crowded, and this situation became more and more serious. Finally triggered the state according to the Cao Public Security Section of the police and local agencies

Around the time of Deuteronomy. Fifty police officers arrived at the scene and began to disperse the population on the pretext of dredging traffic.

The scene was manageable at first. As soon as the black-clad policemen approached, many ordinary people reflexively smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away, only some businessmen were unwilling, but they were alone, and they came face to face with the violent apparatus of the state, and the power of the businessmen showed that they were insufficient. A few businessmen had just protested a few words, and then the police shook off the call and took them away, and seeing this scene, the rest of the businessmen naturally did not dare to say more.

Until a few policemen came to the stage to get Zhou Maosheng.

The audience was in an uproar.

At that time, three or five people rushed out to fight with the police who came to power and protected Zhou Maosheng.

The police were also a little confused, because these guys who dared to openly attack the police and public servants were all dressed in green ---- were soldiers.

After reacting, the police rushed up and began to fight, although there were only a few soldiers and did not carry weapons, but because of their strong bodies and strict training, the policemen who only had batons in their hands really had no way to take these people for a while.

After tossing and turning for about a quarter of an hour, they finally held down these people, but all the people around them stood still, and looked at the policemen in front of them with extreme distrust like aliens (although they didn't know what aliens were).

In Yanzhou, the policemen who dare to arrest the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are really as rare as aliens.

Neat footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Rushing to the scene was the guard battalion under the direct jurisdiction of Ling Pu, the commander of the Yanzhou regimental training envoy, and they were dressed the same as the regular army, except that their uniforms were all marked with the words "regimental training".

More than 200 soldiers armed with wooden guns surrounded the scene. The more than 50 policemen who stood there stunned and stunned were disarmed on the spot, rescued a few captured comrades, and then took all the prisoners with him.

The news of the conflict spread in the two cities of Yanzhou that night, and all kinds of rumors spread far and wide.

Judge Yanzhou Jiedu went to the Prefecture Regiment Training Office to ask Ling Pu for someone, and Ling Pu spread his hands and told him that all the prisoners had been handed over to the Eighth Route Army on Fenglin Mountain.

In desperation, the article had to beg Qin Gu, and Qin Gu was so angry that his face turned blue. The seizure lasted for a long time. But he also had to come forward. He did not go to Wei Xun, but directly found Zhou Zhengyu, and negotiated with Zhou Zhengyu, the Sima, as a long history, Zhou Zhengyu returned to the old camp on Fenglin Mountain that night, and met Wei Xun, but he ran into a nose of book ash in front of Wei Xun. =UC eBook-First-Release=

Wei Xundi's words were extremely hard: "I am in charge of the military law, unless there is an order from the general, it cannot be moved, if Brother Zhou is forced to intervene." Please stop this prison first! ”

Zhou Zhengyu naturally would not dismiss Wei Xun, and at this point, the matter has been blocked.

Of course, it is not completely impossible, the only way is to ask the general who resigned to come forward to give an order in person, Wei Xun can not give Zhou Zhengyu a face, and he will never dare not give that person's face.

It's just that although this Dharma book is good, it can't be implemented at the moment.

Because Li Wenge is not in the Jiedu Mansion.

Not only is he not there, but even Luo Yiniang is not there.

An indisputable fact is. The right general of the imperial court. The commander of the Eighth Route Army, when the people of Yanzhou needed him the most, took his girlfriend to the house very irresponsibly......

In fact, Li Wenge is not too far from Yanzhou City, the southeast of Fushi, the northwest of Linzhen, Qingyuan Mountain, Kuli River, and Waterfall Dome are the mountains where the Ye family originally lived.

At this moment, these thatched houses have long been transformed beyond recognition. There are a lot of bottles and cans of various materials. There are also some tools and raw materials, typical of a rudimentary mountain laboratory.

At this moment, he is in the house book with Li Wenge and Luo Yiniang. There is also a sample book that is quite old-fashioned, with a fairy wind and bones, who is not Chen Tuan's ancestor?

There was a choking smell of sulfur from the house book on the right, Luo Yiniang glanced at Li Wenge with a little dissatisfaction, Li Wenge suddenly turned his gaze weakly, and defended with haha: "Using sulfur to extract acid, this is indeed the simplest and feasible law book!" ”

Chen Jun, who had been fiddling with a piece of bile alum, didn't fight when he heard the words: "What is the source of sulfur acid?" Although you are in contact with French handwriting beautifully, where do you get that nurturing atmosphere? ”

Li Wenge's triangular eyes blinked, and he looked at Chen Jian and Luo Yiniang pitifully, and said very unwillingly: "If there is an instrument that can separate pure oxygen, you will know that I am not lying......"

Luo Yiniang had already washed a glass bottle book with water at the moment, and she just smiled faintly when she heard this. Chen Shu said: "Refining stone gall, taking the essence, this is the only way to teach my predecessor Gu Gang Shu Xianqing four years has been recorded in the "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra", you don't need to use the serious law book, you don't use those bells and whistles to take acid means, I think you are learning some side doors, and you can learn to go crazy!" ”

Li Wenge smiled bitterly again. looked at Luo Yiniang with an innocent face, but Luo Yiniang couldn't help laughing, don't turn her face and don't look at him.

Bringing his girlfriend out for a walk, this is something that Li Wenge has never done in his two generations, and he doesn't want to be in a position of power today, but he did it. Let's not talk about whether Luo Yiniang is his "girlfriend" or not, just leaving behind the heavy government and military affairs and running to this barren mountain and wilderness to drum up these altars, jars, stones, and sulfur, he, a warlord, has done a very shocking job.

"Adults shouldn't be like this......" Seeing Chen Tuan bending over, Luo Yiniang gently persuaded Li Wenge while wiping the bottle book with a white linen cloth.

"Call me Huairen......" Li Wenge said dissatisfiedly, he asked for it many times, but Luo Yiniang just refused to change his words, and still used the awkward and raw title of "adult".

"Adults are in danger of a state, so they shouldn't be ......like this," Luo Yiniang still ignored his request and said to herself.

"You don't understand these things. Don't say anything more! Li Wenge said with a little dissatisfaction, he was very annoyed like a faint bubble being persuaded by his subordinates and women.

"What doesn't the concubine understand?" Luo Yiniang pursed her mouth, and her two eyes stared straight at Li Wenge.

Li Wenge's heart suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly smiled dryly: "Slip of the tongue, you know that I am so annoyed to death these days, but those who don't open their eyes still want to pull my hind legs, and let the cart pull and not let me eat grass, how can there be such a cheap thing in his grandmother's world?" Since they were not satisfied with what I was doing, they asked Gao Ming to find an immortal to govern Yanzhou. I guess I did a better job than I am! ”

Luo Yiniang sighed: "That's what the adults said." Yiniang really doesn't understand! Yiniang doesn't understand why adults must insist that Chen Jianiang write a woman as an official, Yiniang doesn't understand why adults actually regard the great career future as a mustard, and Yiniang doesn't understand why adults insist on going against the adults who support you and support you? They weren't asking for too much......"

Li Wenge's expression became serious, stared at Luo Yiniang and asked, "Who told you about these?" ”

Yiniang glanced at him: "Adults are too underestimating people, Yiniang is also a person who has seen the world!" ”

Li Wenge smiled apologetically: "These people almost told me plainly that they want to monopolize the governance of Yanzhou, and no one will be allowed to share this governance with them, and if I follow their wishes, they will help me." If I don't do what they want, they will tear down my platform." Yiniang thinks, should I follow these people's wishes? ”

Yiniang said with a smile: "My lord is a handsome general, in the final analysis, the matter of Yanzhou is not something you can decide?" Since the adults are dissatisfied, it only takes one order to replace the person who displeased the adults! ”

Li Wenge smiled: "They have no dereliction of duty and no corruption, how can they be replaced?" And why replace them? Just because they don't go along with my Li Wenge? ”

Yiniang looked at the warlord in front of her in surprise: "Isn't it easy for adults to grasp the handle of their subordinates?" ”

Li Wenge smiled again, and said while continuing to pick on the gall alum: "That's what everyone thinks. That's why I can't do it! ”

"Why?"

"Yanzhou is in ruins. This is the time when the rules are established, and once a rule is set at this time, it will be difficult to change it in the future. If a good rule is established at this time, Yanzhou will have a promising future; If a bad rule is established at this time, there will be endless disasters in the future. So the more this time, the more you can't do it. One wrong step, a thousand miles wrong......" Li Wenge looked at the gall alum in the sun, but his mouth did not stop.

"What are good rules and what are bad rules?" Luo Yiniang is still ignorant.

"The civil servants are not happy with me. They chose to resign from me. I was not satisfied with these civil servants, so I asked them to resign. That's the rule! Seeing that the civil officials were disobedient, I ordered the army to arrest them one by one, beat them and behead them, this is a bad rule! To set a good rule is to set a good example for future generations and benefit inexhaustibly; To set a rule is to give birth to an evil law for the world, and there will be endless evils! Li Wenge finally stopped what he was doing and said slowly.

"What kind of good law is this?" Luo Yiniang said disapprerovingly.

Li Wenge smiled: "If you don't kill people, don't shed blood, if you can compromise, you will compromise, and if you can't compromise, you will go to work, isn't it good?" ”

Luo Yiniang sneered unceremoniously: "My lord, this is covering my ears and stealing the bell, who doesn't know that my lord's military power is in hand, how can I resign and go into the wilderness?" In the final analysis, it is the adults in the city who must be soft in the end, otherwise even if you don't speak, your lords' brothers in the army will rise up and be king! ”

"You're saying a smart choice!" Li Wenge nodded, "In the end, this is indeed the result!" ”

"So what's the difference?" Luo Yiniang asked. "The difference is that I give them a choice!" Li Wenge replied cheerfully, "They can make different choices, but they also have to bear the corresponding consequences." From the moment they accepted my resignation, it was no longer my duty, but it was the duty of those in power, and how to deal with this situation was their business. ”

"On the other hand, if they are not willing to pay such a price and take such a risk, they will continue to accept me as the boss, but since they accept me as the boss, they must make concessions on certain issues, and the right to appoint personnel is a core power. I will not leave this power alone in the hands of any one party, just as I don't mind sharing power with Li Xianggong and Qin Changshi, those civil officials and lords should not mind sharing their power with Yanzhou local families, merchants, and even women and widows. I hope that in the future, Yanzhou will be an open and tolerant Yanzhou, only those who can share power with others can stay in Yanzhou, and those who try to monopolize certain power or wealth resources will not survive in Yanzhou! Li Wenge's thinking was clear and eloquent, but the more Luo Yiniang listened, the more confused she became.

Li Wenge smiled: "Conceptually, I agree with civil politics, but civil politics is not equal to civilian politics, not equal to scholar politics, and not equal to Confucian one-party politics." I admit that a Confucian scholar like Shujian is worthy of being relied upon, but it does not mean that relying on Confucianism means respecting Confucianism alone. These are two different things, since there used to be a family party in Yanzhou in the original, and there is a Confucian party in Yanzhou now, why can't there be another female official party in Yanzhou in the future? Things gather by like, people by groups, no matter what the reason for forming a party, I can accept it, there is only one premise, the party must be within a certain limit, if you want to fight to the death like the former Tang Niu Li party fight, but don't think about it! ”

"Why do you have to form a party?" Luo Yiniang asked puzzled.

"There is no party outside the party, imperial thought, no faction in the party, all kinds of strange ......" Li Wenge confided in his mouth, and when he saw that Luo Yiniang was about to ask again, he hurriedly stuck out his tongue: "I'm blind!" ”

A hint of curiosity appeared on Luo Yiniang's face, and she asked extremely seriously: "If the adults in the state city are not ready to bow their heads, and they really can't suppress the army, and there will be another mutiny and bloodshed in Yanzhou, are you really not ready to stop it?" ”

Li Wenge nodded: "Don't prepare!" ”

"Why? Isn't the matter of hundreds of thousands of lives in Hezhou heavy enough? Compared to the grievances of adults? Isn't it more important for Li Shu's safety and hardship? Luo Yiniang continued to ask curiously.

Li Wenge never seemed to have thought about this question, he tilted his head and pondered, and after thinking for a long time, the resigned general resolutely shook his head: "The will of 10,000 people is also the will. My will alone is also my will, so why should I change the will of one person for the sake of the will of 10,000 people? ”

"Don't adults think it's wrong to use one person over 10,000 people?" Luo Yiniang asked softly.

"One person is one person, ten thousand people are ten thousand people, one person cannot override ten thousand people, and ten thousand people cannot override one person. No matter what name, no matter how many people, it is impossible to change my mind! Li Wenge said categorically, after that, he seemed to feel unfinished, and the corners of his mouth grinned conceitedly: "This is my free will!" ”
