Xue Ou brought Liu Kan a piece of news that was not good, but it was not too bad: Tian Du, dead!

Liu Kan's sudden attack on Tian Fu was tantamount to a huge blow to Tian Du. At that time, Tian Du mistakenly thought that Pingyang City was broken, so that he was out of proportion. He didn't even have the heart to resist any longer, and fled from Tianfu with a dozen cronies. At that time, although the East City Gate was broken, the soldiers of Pingyang, under the command of Li Zuoche, were still entangled with the Qin army. If Tiandu could organize an attack at this time, he might be able to temporarily drive the Qin army out of the city. After all, the city gate of Pingyang was so big, and it was difficult for the Qin army to fully unfold it.

However, Tian was frightened.

After the Qin army broke the city, it was naturally necessary to chase and kill the soldiers of Pingyang. To put it mildly, Tian Du also died unjustly, he did not have a face-to-face confrontation with the Qin army, but was shot by a stray arrow and died on the side of the road. After the Qin army controlled the situation in Pingyang, Xue Ou was ordered by Liu Kan to escort those rich people in Pingyang to come forward to pacify. Unexpectedly, inadvertently, Tian Du's corpse appeared.

"Show the land to the public, send someone to take care of his family, and wait for the fall of the court."

Liu Kan gave an order with an expressionless face.

In this era of human life, he can imagine what a cruel fate it will be in front of Tian Du's family. But he couldn't help it...... It's like a gamble, if Tian Du wins, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven. But now he's lost and dead! Then the sins he has committed must be borne by his family. No one can change that.

The three tribes of Yi should be the most normal result.

Liu Kan is powerless to change, and he doesn't want to try to change.

What he has to think about now is how to find a way out for the people of Binh Duong.

At noon, Wang Ke, the county guard of Xue County, led his troops to Pingyang.

Moreover. Scattered all over Xue County. It also continues to drive to Pingyang.

"Surabaya County, Langya County, and Donghai County have all received news. Zhuang and Sima each sent 2,000 soldiers and horses into Xue County. It is stationed in Huling, Tengxian and Nancheng Township. The southern part of Xue County is very calm. There are no signs of anything unusual at this time.

The two counties of Langya and Jiaodong also secretly sent troops to Linzi.

Presumably, there will be good news in the next two days...... Before this official comes out. Also got the news. Captain Feng Jingdu, the right supervisor of Tingwei, attacked from Lu County. The ambush of the anti-thief firewood in Culai Mountain was successful. The left eunuch Li Cheng Sima fraudulently opened the gate of Yingyi. Chai and Tian An were killed on the spot. The magistrate of Boyang County was also taken into custody. Waiting for the court captain to fall. Presently. Feng Duwei and Li Sima have joined forces. Move in the direction of Yuling. ”

Wang Ke is over forty years old. Raw white skin. Appearance.

It's just that his eyes are a little cold. The lips are also thin. It gives people a mean feeling. Let Liu Kan not want to get too close.

However, Liu Kan really has to be grateful to this Wang Ke.

If it weren't for Wang Ke's cooperation, Pingyang might have been a real trouble. People are a little indifferent though. But when it comes to doing things, it is meticulous.

Liu Kanxian, Wang Ke doesn't seem to want to stay in Pingyang for too long.

After the briefing. Wang Ke took out the tiger talisman and handed over all the troops in Pingyang to Liu Kan to control. Then, under the pretext that he was busy with official business, he needed to return to Lu County immediately, and left that night. So much so that Liu Kan felt that Wang Ke's appearance in Pingyang this time seemed to be to report the news, and to hand over the army to Liu Kan to control. The line was in a hurry. made Liu Kan inexplicable.

"Wang Junshou is from Xue County!"

Uncle Sun Tong sighed and explained Liu Kan's confusion: "As the head of a county, how can he be at peace when such a big thing happens under his rule?" Besides, he also knew very well that although Tian Du was dead, the matter in Pingyang was not over. .shd.e book.dao // how to deal with the people of Pingyang, he knows it. I just don't want to face this situation, so I make an indifferent look. It doesn't seem reasonable.

Captain, Wang Junshou has handed over the problem to you......

Now that you have the military power of Xue Jun in your hands, and you are also the captain of the court, you are appointed by the imperial court to be fully responsible for this matter, what will you do? ”

Pingyang has really become a hot potato now.

In fact, not only Pingyang, but also Yingyi and Linzi are also facing the same situation as Pingyang. The three counties combined, but there are more than 100,000 lives. Liu Kan also killed many unarmed Huns in Quyan that year. But he can also use non-self species. His heart must be different to comfort himself. But now, these hundreds of thousands. But they are all real descendants of Yan and Huang!

"It's really prosperous, and the people are bitter; Death, the people are suffering! ”

couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Liu Kan thought for a while, "Gong He, I am going to take your attention, report to the imperial court, and suggest that all the people of the three places be relocated to Wuyuan County. There may be deaths, but it's better than all the slaughter. Whether it is Pingyang or Yingyi, including Linzi, it is just a few people who are in turmoil. The people are innocent, since they have already taken the evil, why bother to kill too much? ”

A flash of brilliance flashed in Shusun Tong's eyes, "Captain, you have to think clearly, once this piece comes out, the consequences will be extraordinary." ”

Liu Kan knew what the consequences of what Shusun Tong meant by what he meant. The first emperor was so stubborn and murderous that he was incomparable. Other things are easy to say, but it is impossible to tolerate things like rebellion.

However, you can't just watch more than 100,000 people die in your own hands......

It was already dark, and the candles were dancing in the house.

Liu Kan walked to the window with his hands down, turned his back to his uncle and grandson, and said: "He Gong, Confucianism often says benevolence, so can you tell me, what is benevolence?" ”

The sudden question made Uncle Sun Tong stunned all of a sudden!

Benevolence is the core of Confucianism, and it is also the highest moral standard that Confucius took in.

But what is benevolence?

But it's not so easy to answer...... Perhaps, even if Confucius, who proposed the concept of benevolence, was reborn, standing here may not be able to explain clearly. Confucian benevolence may be like the Taoist Tao, which cannot be explained clearly, and the Tao is not understood, and it is difficult to make affirmative boundaries.

Confucius said in the Analects of Yan Yuan: Self-denial is benevolence.

He also said in "Wei Linggong": Men with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, and there is killing gods to become benevolent......

Even Zhuang Zhou, the Taoist family, came out to join in the fun and made his own unique interpretation of Ren: those who are close to each other are indispensable. Ren also.

In conclusion, what is benevolence?

This is the core question that Confucian disciples have been exploring since Confucius. At this moment, Liu Kan suddenly raised such a question, which made Shusun Tong a little unsure of how to answer. lowered his head and groaned for a long time, but in the end he could only smile bitterly and shake his head gently.

"Captain. I don't know how to be benevolent. ”

Liu Kan turned his back to his uncle and grandson, and his expression seemed to be in a trance.

"I have a little idea, but I don't know if the public wants to hear it?"

Uncle Sun Tong Zhengse said: "The sage said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." There is no distinction between young and old, and those who reach it are the first. I wish to hear about it. ”

What is "benevolence, i.e., man"? ”

Liu Kan turned around, "I have also read the Most Holy Article, the book of the saint who lived in times of sorrow. Taoism and morality are decaying...... Therefore, the sage speaks of etiquette and morality. A lifetime of learning has been handed down. From "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", to the later collection of scriptures and history and the "Spring and Autumn Period", its purpose is to teach us foolish boys how to behave. What is benevolence, people are benevolence.

The saint is happy with the way of Yao Shun, based on the way of Yao Shun, and the right and wrong are in the two hundred and forty-two years, just to tell us. What is a person. ”

When the uncle and grandson heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Kan sat down in front of his uncle and grandson, and asked again: "He Gong, what is Sheji?" ”

"Ah, this ......"

"Sheji, that is, people!"

Liu Kan poured a glass of wine for his uncle and grandson, "He Gong, if there is no one in this society, how can it be regarded as a society?" Today, the people are at peace. Although there is turmoil in the three counties of Qilu, it is a small chaos, what does it have to do with the people? I have a small future, but I can't turn a deaf ear to hundreds of thousands of living beings...... Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. If the people of the world are resentful because of these hundreds of thousands of living beings, it is easier to be used by Xiaoxiao. When the time comes, the war will be rekindled, and the death will not be more than 100,000. Or even hundreds of thousands. Millions.

He Gong, I really can't bear this situation. Migrating to the north. Although there is the pain of being far away from his homeland, it is also a good thing to be able to save his life. If this is the case, what is the future of sacrificing my own land? Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations...... Perhaps, the purpose of the most holy circulation of poetry and books lies in this truth. ”

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people. For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace......"

Uncle Sun Tong silently repeated Liu Kan's four sentences, and after a long time, he stood up and bowed to Liu Kan deeply, "Tong thinks he has the mantle of a saint, and when he hears the words of Du Wei today, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds and seeing the true meaning of Confucianism...... Please be bowed by your uncle and grandson. ”

Liu Kan smiled slightly, got up and walked outside the house.

"I have an appointment with Peng Yue, and I still have things to deal with.

If you report to Xianyang, please ask He Gong to bother more...... Oh, in addition, he sent someone to inform Feng Jing and Li Cheng, and ordered them to solve the matter of Linzi Tianfu as soon as possible, and then stationed at the junction of Linzi and Jibei, waiting for the order. It's almost autumn, and I really hope that things here will be dealt with sooner. Counting the time, I have been away from the warehouse for more than a year, and I really miss it. ”

Uncle Sun Tong nodded in response.

Speaking of which, Liu Kan can also write this report himself.

But it's just a pity that he has a good book, but he is not very familiar with Qin Xiaozhen. It can be written, but the font can't be neat and round. Although the First Emperor had recognized the existence of the Lishu Land, in terms of official documents, he still required officials of all sizes to be mainly Qin Xiaozhen.

The word is the façade.

Liu Kan knows such a truth.

A good handwriting is like a stepping stone. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to report to Xianyang, and the matter involved is very large, and he must leave a good impression on the first emperor. If he has a bad seal, he is afraid that the first emperor will have a bad feeling for him if he doesn't read the content of the chapter.

Uncle Sun Tong's writing is extraordinary, and his pen is strong, which can really meet the preferences of the first emperor.

Liu Kan handed over the matter to his uncle and grandson, and met with Peng Yue again. This time, thanks to Peng Yue's help, he naturally has to thank him.

Attacking the east gate, although Peng Yue gained unexpected convenience, the loss was also very serious.

The men who accompanied him. More than half of the dead and wounded. Among them, Lin Ye died under the east gate, which made Liu Kan feel so sad.

This Lin has not followed Liu Kan for a long time, but he is a rare talent.

Liu Kan likes this guy very much, but he is quite scruples about him. The reason is very simple, Lin is the leader of the Lou Fu cavalry. But at the same time, it is from Meng Tian's account, and he is loyal to Meng Tian. With such a person's existence, Liu Kan couldn't completely control the three hundred floor annoying cavalry army. Moreover, it is always a bit troublesome to keep this person around...... After all, in Loucang, there are a lot of secrets hidden.

Lin died, and for Liu Kan, it was also a relief.

At the same time of sadness, there is an inexplicable joy in my heart. Sometimes. Liu Kan really felt that he was getting closer to the people of this era......

Meet with Peng Yuedi. It went very well.

Liu Kan assured that Peng Yue would be highly recommended in the report. According to Peng Yue's thoughts, he naturally hopes to seek an official position in his hometown.

But Liu Kan felt that this was unlikely.

There was the Sihong incident a few years ago, and now there is the Liangfu Mountain incident.

Although the time span is large, and the nature of the events is not the same. But there is one thing that is the same, that is, whether it is Sihong or the Santian incident in Pingyang Yingyi, the officials who were involved. All locals. Therefore, Liu Kan felt that the imperial court was likely to change the appointment of officials. At least for the last two years, locals have not been able to hold positions in the region. Peng Yue is not a big problem to be an official, but it seems unlikely that he wants to take up a post near Juye. In this regard, Liu Kan did not hide it, and made it clear to Peng Yue in 1510.

Peng Yue was a little regretful, but he didn't blame Liu Kan.

The two hadn't seen each other for four or five years, and they met this time. And after the big victory, it is natural to have to push the cup and change the lamp.

drank until the second half of the night, Peng Yue said goodbye and left.

When leaving, Peng Yue ordered someone to escort Li Zuoche to Liu Kan.

At this time, Li Zuoche was described as haggard, with one arm hanging down, obviously broken. The green shirt was tattered, the bun was fluffy, and the face was covered with blood. However, it can't hide the inner heroism. Standing in front of Liu Kan. Li Zuoche still held his chest straight. Not at all.

"If you want to kill or chop, let the horse come. Li will never beg you for mercy! ”

On his face, there was a look of determination.

But Liu Kan saw a trace of longing for life from those clear eyes.

"I heard that Wu Anjun is your ancestor

"Exactly!"

"Sure enough, he's a good man!" Liu Kan chuckled, "I heard that you were originally in Yingyi to assist Tian An, why did you appear here?" ”

Li Zuoche kept his mouth shut, seemingly unwilling to answer Liu Kan's question.

"If you don't say it, I can guess some of it.

More than ten days ago, I was assassinated in Qin Ting, and you must have something to do with it. I suddenly changed my route on the way, you may have noticed something, so you rushed to Binh Duong to call the police. It's just that you didn't expect that I actually had some strength in Xue County, and I dared to take the risk of sneaking into Pingyang.

Li Zuoche, do you think you lost very unjustly? ”

Li Zuoche snorted coldly, "Surabaya's Governor Liu Kan, I've heard of your name. Speaking of which, you can be improvised, courageous, and strategic, and I am not unjustly defeated. But I'm not convinced...... Under equal conditions, you and I go against each other, and you may not be my opponent. ”

"Really?"

Liu Kan pondered for a moment, but smiled, "Are you Guigeng?" ”

"Huh?"

"I mean, how old are you?"

Li Zuoche hesitated, "Twenty-seven." ”

"I'm twenty-one!" Liu Kan stood up and said in a deep voice: "But I am now the Captain of Surabaya in Great Qin, controlling the land of Sihong, and I have a school of soldiers and horses in my hands. And you? After being a famous general, although he is obsessed with me, he can only become a defeated general under me. Don't say that the conditions are equal...... Shaojun, even if your strength is stronger than Liu, you and I will fight, Liu is ten percent sure that he will defeat you again. ”

Li Zuoche snorted coldly and didn't speak.

When you say this, you may not be convinced. But Liu is willing to analyze it for you...... Now I am in the Great Qin Dragon Xingguanzhong, the rule of law in the world, the establishment of the country with bravery, sweeping Shandong, and the world is unified. The general trend of the world, together for a long time, will be divided, and for a long time, I will win, and the victory will be above board. And you lose, but you don't want to face the reality, and you still have illusions.

Shaojun, do you know what your name is? I don't know the current affairs!

Liu's first point is to know the current affairs; Second, you don't know people. Liu doesn't know much about Tian, but judging from the short confrontation, this person is just a person with great ambitions and talents. It's ridiculous that such a character actually wants to fight against my Great Qin. And you, but you came to hold such a stinky foot, isn't it eyeless? Third, Shaojun, you are unkind and unjust!

I heard that you were supposed to assist Tian An in Yingyi.

However, he abandoned his old master and appeared in Binh Duong. Do you know that Yingyi has been broken, and Tian'an has set it on fire. I don't know how capable you are, but I know that when Tian An was in danger, you were not in Yingyi, but appeared in Pingyang, hundreds of miles away.

He is not a son of man for seeking disloyalty...... Wu Anjun has been loyal and upright all his life, but he doesn't want to have a descendant like you, and he won't be blind to death. ”

Liu Kan's last words were almost scolded.

Li Zuoche blushed and lowered his head and didn't know how to explain.

Speaking in his heart, he really looks down on Tian An. In Li Zuoche's eyes, although Tian An is a royal family, he has long since declined, and he is just a businessman. He was lucky, and that's why he is where he is today. Compared with Tian Du, Tian An is more like a tyrant, a rich man.

"Who are you General Chai of the Thorny Pu Army?"

Li Zuoche was stunned, raised his head and replied: "That's my grandfather's general." ”

"He's dead!"

"Huh?"

Li Zuoche's head buzzed, and he was stunned.

Liu Kan glanced at him coldly, "The relationship between you and Thorn Pujun must be very close. But where were you when the Thorns needed you the most?

Fight me......

Ha, although Liu is not talented, even in the most dangerous time, he will not abandon his robe. In terms of background, Liu is indeed not as prominent as you Shaojun. But when it comes to being a human being, you don't even have the most basic qualifications? Tell me, how is it my opponent? ”

has been staying with Kuaicher Jia Shao for a long time, and Liu Kan's words have become sharper and sharper.

"Forget it, what's the point of talking to you about this?"

Liu Kan seemed to be excited, "Let's go......"

"Huh?"

"Wu Anjun is a hero, and Liu has always admired him. He has been loyal all his life, and I can't bear to cut off only your bloodline.

Therefore, I didn't ask Peng Yue to hand you over, and people outside didn't know about your existence. While I can still call the shots now, the edict of the imperial court has not come down, you take my warrant and go...... How far can you go, how far you can go. This time, for the sake of Wu Anjun, I will spare your life; The next time it falls into my hands, I will not spare it. While it's dark, I'll send you out of the city. ”

Li Zuoche stood in the courtroom, as if he had lost his soul, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
