Chapter Ninety-Eight: The King's Change
The autumn harvest began, and Peng Daniu was very busy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang Hexing also began to go to the office normally, and the things were explained to others, and he was more thinking about the future development plan.
At this time, Zheng Yi came to report the information. Jiang Hexing generally asks Zheng Yi to hand over the information at a fixed time and take a look at it as a reference. As soon as Zheng Yi comes, it must be a big event.
Jiang Hexing asked Zheng Yi to come to the secret room, the two sat down, and Zheng Yi began to talk in detail.
It turned out that after Wang Mang ascended the throne, Zhai Yi and Zhao Ming first rebelled, and this year Liu Kuai rebelled, and Wang Mang was very uneasy. Therefore, it was decreed that for the unification of the country, the princes and kings of the Han family were renamed dukes. In the land of Siyi, it is also against the ancient tradition to call the king, and for the unity of the country, the king must also be changed. That is to say, the entire king of the frontier who was entitled by the Han family must be changed to the marquis rewarded by the new room.
Therefore, Wang Mang has sent people from Chang'an to the Western Regions, Xiongnu, Pingzhou, Yizhou, Lelang County, Xuansu County and other places, led by the five Wei generals, each general with five marshals, and now he is on the way, to various places to be sealed.
Jiang Hexing asked, "Who is the general who has come to us?" How long have they been on their way? ”
Zheng Yidao: "I just got the flying pigeon biography, and it has only been five days since they set off. It will be at least a little more than a month to get to us. For the general is the Ming Wei Hou king, who are the five handsomes below, I don't have any news yet. ”
Jiang Hexing immediately sent people to quickly summon Li Xiaowen, Zhang Kai and others. After several people discussed, this matter is not trivial, and it is necessary for all important officials in Pingzhou to at least ventilate, whether they agree or not, everyone must first know what to do. Fortunately, there is still more than a month to go, so everyone can discuss it.
Jiang Hexing immediately sent fast horses, day and night, to issue orders to military and political dignitaries in various places, asking them to rush to Pingzhou within a month, and those who were busy with the autumn harvest at hand should be handed over to the competent personnel. The stakes are high, and the time must come.
Jiang Hexing, Li Xiaowen, Zhang Kai, Liu Qing and others discussed how to deal with it when they had time and made a few abdominal cases.
After 15 days, Li Xiaoquan, Ma Biao, Ma Yuan and others have arrived, and the rest of the personnel have arrived one after another, and on the 25th day, Wu Kui has also arrived.
The conference room was full of people, and some of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they just wanted to say hello and tell a joke, looking at the seriousness on the faces of Jiang Hexing, Li Xiaowen, Zhang Kai, Zhang Jie and others, and knew that the stakes were important. Everyone became serious, and the conference room was silent for a while.
Jiang Hexing cleared his throat and said, "Zheng Yi, you can introduce the situation to everyone first." ”
Zheng Yi stood up and told everyone what he had said before.
Zheng Yi sat down after speaking, and the conference room was like freshly boiled boiling water, boiling endlessly, and it was difficult to suppress.
Li Xiaoquan was the first to stand up, slapped the table, and shouted loudly: "It's just too deceitful, and they don't take us seriously." And the title of the king was sealed by the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, what is he Wang Mang, if he says that it will be abolished, why should he? What else did he establish a new dynasty, I don't approve. ”
Li Xiaoquan spoke, bowed to Jiang Hexing, and then said: "Hewang, why don't we Pingzhou stop listening to anyone's orders, you can call the shots." Besides, you are the master here, and they are all nominal lords, since they are not willing to be crowned kings, why should we live under the people? ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Li Xiaoquan, waved his hand and said, "You sit down first." ”
Li Xiaoquan sat down stupidly.
Wu Kui then stood up, first saluted Jiang Hexing and said, "Hewang, how do you say we taught him a lesson?" Our army trains every day, and now we have enough food and strength to fight our army of 100,000. Let them know who is powerful, don't think about it all day long, don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Jiang Hexing waved his hand and let Wu Kui sit down.
In addition to Ma Yuan, several generals were full of righteous indignation, eager to lead troops directly into Chang'an now, so that Wang Mang knew the strength of the Pingzhou army.
Jiang Hexing looked at Liu Qing and Xu Lang and asked, "Liu Qing, Xu Lang, you are all people who have stayed in the imperial court, what do you think?" ”
Xu Lang shook his head, sighed and said, "Hey, I really don't know what Wang Mang thinks." So casually and well-intentioned, our people have been uneasy since then, hey, I don't know how many people will shed blood on the border, and how many families will go to empty houses. ”
Liu Qing stood up and saluted to the river: "King He, I see that Daijun is about to be restless, and the Huns will probably be in trouble in the future." Daijun has not been war-free for 60 years, so I'm afraid I won't be worried in the future. ”
As soon as Liu Qing sat down, Li Xiaoquan stood up, pointed at Liu Qing and said, "Liu Qing, you know that you want to think about the people of Nadai County." Have you ever thought about me Pingzhou? Have you worried about the people of Pingzhou? I want to change the title of Pingzhou and King to wait, you don't know, right? ”
Liu Qing didn't have a seizure, his eyes slanted at Li Xiaoquan, and said lightly: "What do the people of Pingzhou have to worry about, with you General Li, can the recruits still be able to fight in Pingzhou?" I don't have to worry about the people of Pingzhou. As for the king and the king, I am afraid it is not easy to compare with the imminent catastrophe of the border people. ”
Li Xiaoquan stared at Liu Qing with his eyes, and was about to say something, Li Xiaowen slapped the table and said to Li Xiaoquan: "This is a place for meetings, what do you say, if you don't have the same as you, you will have a seizure, who do you think you are?" What a system! ”
Li Xiaoquan lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Qing anymore, and several people next to him were about to laugh when they saw Li Xiaoquan's embarrassed appearance.
Li Xiaowen stood up and saluted Liu Qingshi: "Xiaoquan is this temper, Director Liu, please forgive me, I apologize here." ”
Liu Qing hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Director Li, you're polite." General Li is outspoken and fast-talking, and I have always respected him. Besides, since there is a meeting, everyone can speak, and it is common sense to refute me, so I will not be surprised. ”
Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "It's good to say your own opinions, don't rely on force, everyone's words here carry the same weight, we don't rely on force to decide whose opinion is right, rely on who speaks more reasonably." Xiaoquan, you are too bold, Liu Qingdu has been a god for several years, you still dare to provoke him, quickly apologize. ”
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere eased.
Li Xiaoquan stood up and apologized to Liu Qing, Liu Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "General Li is polite, I am also at fault, we won't mention it, okay." ”
The misunderstanding was cleared up and the meeting resumed. There are still two factions, one faction advocates with military generals, demanding lessons from Wang Mang, and the other faction advocates with literati such as Li Xiaowen, Liu Qing, and Xu Lang, fearing that the relationship with the Han will be unfavorable to Pingzhou's immigration and trade, and affect the development of Pingzhou.
Zhang Kai, Zhang Jie had been silent, Jiang Hexing turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "What do you two think?" ”
Zhang Kai said: "Brother, at first I thought about the same as Xiaowen, worried about our trade, immigration, etc., but now I am thinking more about the people of Daijun, the Huns are not as easy to talk as brothers, what to consider the people in advance." ”
Zhang Jie said: "Yes, our family is from Daijun, what will happen to Daijun in the future, we can't help but worry." As for us, if we fight, the new army will certainly not be our opponent. I don't have anything to worry about, I just hope Daijun is safe. ”
Jiang Hexing asked, "Do you have any relatives in Daijun?" ”
Zhang Kai said: "Brother, you know, no matter how much you move, you can't move all of them, some old people are seventy or eighty, you can't send them to the car, how can they bear the fatigue of the car and horses all the way." If there are elderly people, there are people at home to take care of them. Although in the past few years, we have sent things over there. But when it's a big mess, I'm afraid of ......" Zhang Kai couldn't continue, covering his face, holding his head, and pondering bitterly.
Zhang Kai's words, everyone who said it, were thinking about what the Huns would do.
Jiang Hexing turned his head to Zheng Yi and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the reaction of the Huns." ”
Zheng Yi went out to make arrangements.
