Chapter 12: The Face of the Family

Five thousand elite soldiers who have experienced the battlefield have worked as security guards in Yangzhai County, and they are afraid that they will laugh to death if they say it in modern times. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But in this day and age, it is a matter of course. Not to mention the Eastern Han Dynasty, even in the long feudal era, unless it has entered the situation of separating the princes and the generals supporting the army and respecting themselves, there is no shortage of civilian officials to military attachés.

Although Yingchuan County is only a county, the families living on it occupy a lot of positions in the imperial court and even the military. Or the ancestors were once prominent, leaving a large number of protégés and former officials, so it is also a favor that can be used.

Now it is almost the beginning of summer, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has caused problems in spring ploughing, so it is necessary to plant things in as soon as possible before the beginning of summer, otherwise the autumn harvest will inevitably be reduced. But those yellow turban thieves are swaying around, making it impossible for these families to send people to grab seeds, and they are naturally very unhappy.

It just so happened that Zhu Jun's department was nearby, so he naturally used their influence to ask Zhu Jun to come and quell the thief. One is that this is his responsibility, and the other is that they will not order directly, but will apply in the form of official documents through the local county guard.

Obviously, it is also his business whether Zhu Jun wants to eliminate these yellow turban thieves, but others have already released their words, if he ignores them, then it is equivalent to offending those families in Yingchuan County. The little family may be able to ignore it, but if those old ticket families are lazy, God knows what will happen.

At this time, the family did not know how to focus its source of income on business. The vast majority of their income depends on the output of the land, so if this year's harvest is not good, then you can imagine how dissatisfied they will be.

After arriving in Yangzhai County, Zhu Yuanlai planned to go to Yingchuan Academy to have a look, even if he couldn't recruit people, it was also very good to see this very famous private school in the Three Kingdoms era.

Yang Lang had already been sent out to investigate the Yellow Turban thieves around Yangzhai County, and at the same time, the military marquis under Zhu Cheng scattered out in all directions to encircle and suppress and recruit these guerrillas.

From time to time, scouts will come to report to him, and at present, the Yellow Turban thieves around here are indeed small troops of three or five hundred, and even twenty or thirty people, and it would be good to gather more than five thousand. Moreover, it is difficult to say how much actual combat effectiveness can be of dragging.

They seldom dare to attack the houses of the families guarded by soldiers, but they can destroy the fields outside with impunity, as annoying as sparrows or crows.

Zhu Cheng really didn't plan to take them in his eyes, thinking about taking advantage of the three days to do something of his own. Who knew that something else would soon be disrupted directly from his plans.

"What does it mean to have a conflict with the children of the family?" Zhu Cheng looked at the scout in front of him who came to report and asked.

It is said that a child of a family insulted Zhang Junhou, perhaps to anger Zhang Junhou, so he went back. Who knew that the other party wanted to beat Zhang Junhou, which led to a brawl. Later, the county lieutenant of Yangzhai County dispatched and arrested Zhang Junhou and more than 50 brothers, and the other brothers saw that they were officers and soldiers, and the other party said that if they dared to do it, they would be punished as a traitor, so they didn't dare to do it, so they could only report to the general! The scout replied in fear.

"Yo ho! The person who beat me actually used the official to bully me? Zhu Cheng was immediately dissatisfied. Although there is no shortage of such 'second generation' characters in any era, I didn't expect to meet myself.

"Let's go, let's go to Yangzhai County to see, who dares to arrest my people!" Zhu Cheng was about to get up and leave immediately.

"My lord, maybe you should understand the whole story, and find out which family's children came forward!" Not long after Yang Lang came back, he was beside Zhu Cheng, and immediately stopped Zhu Cheng when he saw this.

"They have captured my subordinates, should I still be afraid of them?" Zhu Cheng asked a little unpleasantly.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, 'only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles', the lord doesn't even know who the enemy is, how to fight back with thunder? If you bump into it casually, will you hurt yourself, not to mention it, you won't be able to get the other party's vital point, this deal is not cost-effective" Yang Lang still blocked Zhu Cheng's way and patiently advised.

"Well, let's investigate and see who dares to break ground on the head of this school!" Seeing this, Zhu Cheng could only wave his hand back.

The results of the investigation came out that night, the son is a son of Xiangcheng Wei, Xiangcheng Wei is just a small family, his grandfather's generation was a county magistrate, and now his father is also the county chief. The key is that he is a student of Yingchuan Academy, and he has a large number of capable classmates, and he has a certain connection with Yang Zhai Guo's family, Xin's family, and even Xun's family.

It is said that it is a connection, but in fact, it is similar to a dependency relationship, and the weak families will form an alliance to jointly deal with the encroachment of the big families. At the same time, it was attached to some big families, and then received political assistance. For example, the Guo family and the Xin family have been closely associated with the Yuan family in Runan since the past.

"I have asked the soldiers who were with Zhang Junhou at the time, and they said that the Wei children not only insulted them as dogs, yelled at them to drive away the Yellow Turban Thieves, but also constantly insulted the Yellow Turban Thieves as a group of 'untouchables' and the like, anyway, those words were somewhat unbearable.

If this is the case, Zhang Junhou did not intend to deal with the other party. Zhang Junhou is also from the forbidden army, and he knows the temper of these children of the family. In the end, they just intend to show their superiority by doing so.

Who knows, but then they scolded you, saying that you came to Yangzhai and didn't visit them, and you knew at a glance that you didn't understand the rules and were wild dogs. Zhang Junhou couldn't get angry, so he said, who knows that the other party will send someone to fight, saying, 'Tune for your dog's boss. Tunes. Teach disobedient subordinates'.

Helplessly, when the county lieutenant arrived, he said that we were the first to take a bite of the counter. At that time, there were many people, and perhaps some brothers were angry but fought back, but they recruited the county lieutenant. Wei's children insisted that we did it first, and the county lieutenant was more willing to believe his words, so they arrested Zhang Junhou and them. Yang Lang told the whole story, and he could hear it, and he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"This is interesting, is it possible that the school still needs to visit those families when it comes to the local area?" Zhu Cheng smiled angrily.

"There is no explicit rule, but when private troops are sent to the area, officers often visit the families here in private. The main thing is to hope that the family here will not cause trouble for him. In fact, more than half of the local problems in recent years were caused by the children of the family. Yang Lang replied helplessly.

Even in the old world, there will be unscrupulous children, but they are in benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are generally handled internally. If anyone from the outside dares to make a move, it is equivalent to being the enemy of the entire family. It is precisely because of this that officials in the feudal era were often very difficult for the cases of the children of such families.

The reason for all this is also funny, and it happens that Dong Zhongshu proposed the three outlines and five constants and ethics.

"So, if I go directly to the county lieutenant or the county magistrate, it's not okay?" Zhu Cheng thought of a possibility.

"That's true, if the operation is not good, it is even very likely to be impeached by Yang Zhai's family." Yang Lang shook his head and replied.

Yang Zhai's family may not be all in the court, but the regional circle of interests determines that even if they do not agree with each other, they must be the same in the external situation. And those adults in the court, it doesn't take any price to echo a sentence casually, but they can be better for these people from these families, so naturally it is not recommended to say a word.

Charcoal is scarce in the snow, so it is commendable, but falling into the well is not left behind, and it is also a bad habit of the Chinese people.

"Why are these families so unscrupulous, and others are just like that, and we and other soldiers who defend the country are treated like this, aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of those soldiers who defend them?" Zhu Cheng sighed.

"The Great Han is no longer the Great Han of two hundred years ago, and in recent decades, the internal situation of the imperial court has changed, and His Majesty has changed one after another. The monarch's power has long been sidelined, the eunuchs and relatives take turns to play, and the family takes the opportunity to become bigger. As for the soldiers, they have long been dispensable, and although they have a place in the court, they have no right to speak. Yang Lang reminded.

In the past, the lieutenant could only be held by the military, but now the lieutenant is held by a literati. Fortunately, Yang Ci is still short-sighted, and Rao is just treating the military as a slave and dog raised by himself.

Don't you see that although Zhu Jun was born in the military, he also took the civilian route of advising doctors and Taizhong doctors? Even Sun Jian also took the civil official line of the county, and the impression that the civilian officials were popular and the officers were guilty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Speaking of which, why didn't my uncle do this?" Zhu Cheng immediately thought of a situation.

"Zhonglang will hold the festival, and whoever disagrees with the local officials can be directly killed. Therefore, it is good that the local officials are not pleased, who will trouble him? And the general of Zhonglang is not without visits, and he seems to have sent people to send gifts and condolences to the local family. Yang Lang shook his head and replied.

Well, since Zhu Jun can't be exempt from vulgarity, Zhu Cheng can only abide by this kind of submersible. Rules.

Fortunately, he also has his own advantages, that is, he is not from a poor family. Anyone with a little ability can know his nephew Zhu Jun, but where he comes from and what his background is, he doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be bullied.

That night, he came to Xun's mansion, of course, this is not Xun's old mansion, but because Xun Jian served as a sacrificial wine in Yingchuan Academy, he bought a house here for him to live in, which can be regarded as Xun's foothold here in Yangzhai.

"Wujun Zhu Cheng, come to visit!" Zhu Cheng put on the clothes of the family, and even put on a Confucian robe, came to the gate of the Xun Mansion, and handed the greetings and gifts to the gatehouse.

The Zhu family is actually not an old big family, mainly after Sun Ce became the ruler of Jiangnan, he became a famous family of military generals with the help of Zhu Zhi and Zhu Huan. Prior to this, the surnames Yu, Wei, Gu and Lu were the four major families of Wu County.

But even so, the Zhu family also has a place in Wu County, which can be regarded as a medium-sized family. Visiting the Xun family was a bit arrogant, so Zhu Cheng's posture was very low.

is different from Zhu Jun, who was born in a poor family, Zhu Cheng is a serious child of a family of eight hundred. Although he is a son of a side branch, he also exists in the Zhu family tree.

Although the poor family can be looked down upon by the family, but the family will definitely not look down on the family, Zhu Cheng's posture is so low, Xun Jian naturally can't drive people away, on the contrary, if Zhu Cheng is just Zhu Jun's nephew, then it will follow the mood of others if he can't see it.

"I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew was already a lieutenant at a young age, and it was said that Yang Zhai's side was safe, and the virtuous nephew had to bother!" Xun Jian naturally knew Zhu Cheng's position, but he didn't expect him to have such an identity.

However, the reason why his attitude is so good, Zhu Cheng thinks that it should be that gift that has an effect......
