Chapter Eighty-Nine: Grace and Might
After Qin Mi finished saying what he wanted to say, he got up to say goodbye, but Guo Jia left him behind.
There is one thing that has been suppressed by Guo Jia and not dealt with, and it is time to end it today, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
"Zi Xuan, what kind of person do you think is a Zhanchen?"
Qin Mi didn't know what Guo Jia's intention was, and replied: "Do it without an order, lose the law for personal gain, consume the country for the sake of the family, and be able to win the king." ”
Guo Jia ordered someone to go to his study to get some things, and sent someone to invite Fa Zheng, Peng Yi, and Guo Xiu to come.
In this interval, Guo Jia said: "I deeply agree with the words of Zi Xian. Including Ziyi, the officials of Yizhou Mansion think that they are people who can practice law and wisdom, and they are far-sighted and discerning, and they can't be selfish if they don't know it. Strong and straight, not strong and straight, can not be annihilated. However, in recent years, officials from all over the country have invariably impeached people in important positions in the Yizhou government. ”
Qin Mi didn't even dare to say it, but he was also suspicious in his heart, since he was a bystander, then the person who was impeached was definitely not him, he was sitting up straight, worthy of heaven and earth, and he was not afraid of the officials below impeaching him.
The Imperial Historical Observatory is in charge of supervision, and all officials in Yizhou who have violated the law cannot escape the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory.
The subordinate brought out two low tables from Guo Jia's study, which were piled up with bamboo slips, which were very eye-catching in the hall.
Guo Xiu, Fa Zheng, and Peng Yi stood in the hall after they arrived, Guo Jia did not invite them to take a seat, and after the three of them saluted, Guo Jia pointed to the bamboo slips piled up on the low table in the hall.
"Xiaozhi, Yongnian, you can take a look at what is written on these bamboo slips."
Peng Yi and Fa Zheng glanced at each other, stepped forward to pick up the bamboo slips and began to read.
The more the two looked at it, cold sweat kept coming out on their heads, and after a while, it was already cold sweat like rain, and their expressions changed greatly.
Each bamboo slip is the content of impeachment of the two of them, and the signature is scribbled by Guo Jia, but judging from the different handwriting, these bamboo slips are not fake.
"Lord, this, this ......"
Fa Zheng couldn't say a word, and Peng Yi, who had always been arrogant, knelt down directly, and his hand holding the bamboo slip began to tremble.
Countless officials impeached the two of them, and the date recorded on Peng Yi's bamboo slips spanned more than two years, and the criticism of Fa Zheng began a year ago.
What do these bamboo slips represent? Is it the collusion of local officials to eradicate dissent? Impossible, why do so many officials in Yizhou Mansion have such a big opinion on the two of them? There are really people behind the scenes who are planning to break Guo Jia's right-hand man, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, why is no one criticizing? Qin Mi was not impeached either.
"My lord, can you read it below?"
Qin Mi and Peng Yi had a very good personal relationship, and when they saw Peng Yi's panicked look at this time, they also wanted to know what was written on those bamboo slips.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Guo Jia, who had a calm face, motioned for Qin Mi to take care of himself.
picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it, Qin Mi picked it up and put it down repeatedly, looking at it very seriously.
These bamboo slips are recorded as the dissatisfaction of officials from all over the country with Peng Yi and Fa Zheng, but Qin Mi, who has been frowning, is relieved.
Turning around, Qin Mi said to Guo Jia: "Lord, there is no evidence of Peng Yi and Fa Zheng being convicted here, just slandering and venting dissatisfaction. ”
When Fa Zheng and Peng Yi heard Qin Mi's words, they also suddenly realized, thinking about it carefully, none of these bamboo slips that impeached them were indeed an accusation of their crimes, but they still looked at Guo Jia uneasily, everyone was full of gold, and the words were terrifying.
"Guo Xiu, Fa Zheng and Peng Yi, have you broken the law?"
Guo Jia asked tepidly.
Guo Xiu, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, looked indifferent, and replied: "Peng Yi has been in office for more than two years, and Fa Zheng has been in office for more than a year, and there has been no violation of the law. ”
After Guo Xiu of the Yushitai said this, Fa Zheng and Peng Yi finally had the consciousness of immortality, and Guo Xiu, who was in charge of supervision, said that the two of them were not guilty, and that was the conclusion.
At this moment, the two of them repented, it turned out that they were so disliked by their colleagues, and even secretly hostile, not about political opinions, but about virtue.
Guo Jia has watched the continuous impeachment of Peng Yi and later Fa Zheng for two years, and he knows that he can't see what crimes Fa Zheng and Peng Yi have committed when he pursues the rule of law.
The two are not virtuous enough to convince the public, but they cannot deny their talents, and the government affairs arranged by Guo Jia can be completed meticulously by both of them, and with this, Guo Jia cannot punish them only on the basis of the groundless impeachment of subordinate officials.
Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and other people like this, in Guo Jia's heart, they are villains!
In history, they betrayed Liu Zhang and welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, which is enough to prove that they are villains!
Liu Zhang treats Zhang Song well, Zhang Song, who is in Yizhou's other driver, talks about power and is in the forefront of Yizhou's ranking, but Zhang Song thinks that Liu Zhang is not the hero, Fa Zheng is not reused under Liu Zhang, and Huai Cai is not encountered, these are not the reasons for them to betray Liu Zhang!
The difference between a gentleman and a villain is here, if the gentleman is together, he stays, and if he doesn't, he goes, Liu Zhang has no place to be sorry for the two of them, but these two people refuse to abandon Liu Zhang, and on the other hand, they also want to cooperate with outsiders to seek Liu Zhang's foundation, take 10,000 steps back, the two have opinions on Liu Zhang, then they can also contribute according to the situation.
As for whether it was because they helped Liu Bei, the imperial uncle, that they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and their deeds were noble. Liu Bei is not a moral standard, either standing on Liu Bei's side is justice, or opposing Liu Bei is evil.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.
It is impossible for Guo Jia to use a gentleman and a villain as the standard of employment, there is no direct connection between talent and morality, Fa Zheng is a villain in Guo Jia's eyes, but Guo Jia still wants to use him, because Fa Zheng is talented. Everyone has different pursuits, Zhang Song wants to assist the hero, Fa Zheng wants to display his talents, Guo Jia can give them, can satisfy them, will try to do it, if there is still someone who chooses to betray, Guo Jia has nothing to say, at least he is benevolent and righteous, morally, he wants to be a Taoist, not a loser.
"Fa Zheng, Peng Yi, you get up, you don't have to kneel, the reason why I let you see these bamboo slips is to let you understand that if the Yizhou officials can work together for the public, everyone can work together to get twice the result with half the effort, you are talented, but your ability is limited. As your lord, I govern Yizhou by you, and you as officials in important positions in Yizhou, you have to do your job well, relying on subordinate officials, although Yizhou has abolished filial piety and honesty, it does not mean that I have denied virtue. The kindness of others is the goodness of self-interest. ”
Guo Jia poured the bitter water that local officials had pressed for two years on the parties today, and it was up to them whether they could wake them up.
Fazheng Peng Yi bowed to Guo Jia with tears in his eyes to show his gratitude.
The wrath of the people is difficult to commit, and if they change to another master, I am afraid that in order to appease the wrath of the people, they will really be punished for their sins, although from the point of view of the law, the attitude is arrogant and does not break the law against people.
After the three of them left, Guo Jia looked at Qin Mi and asked, "Zi Meng thinks it's appropriate for me to do this?" ”
Qin Mi smiled slightly, and said to Guo Jia: "The lord's move can make the two of them take it as a warning, and it does not violate the principle of the lord to rule people by law. ”
Enwei Enwei is not holding a sword to exert power, nor is it a reward to show kindness.
The matter has been properly handled, and he just sent Qin Michao back, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of things today, Zhen Yao hurriedly came to the hall, and said with a solemn expression that he had just gotten the news.
"Lord, Cao Song's father Cao Song wanted to reunite his father and son, and took a hundred carts of family property through Xuzhou, Tao Qian sent Zhang Min to escort him, but unexpectedly, Zhang Min killed people and plundered money, and Cao Song and his party all died. After Tao Qian got the news, he ordered someone to arrest Zhang Min, and on the other hand, he sent someone to ask Cao Ying for guilt, Tao Qian pleaded guilty to Cao Ying, claiming that Zhang Min was the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and he was a pawn inserted by the main public security in Xuzhou, and the killing of Cao Song was the master's instigation! ”
When Guo Jia heard Cao Song's name, he vaguely guessed what it was, but he didn't guess Zhen Yao's words in the second half.
Zhang Min's murder and plundering of wealth was indeed instructed by Guo Jia.
But if this matter was not admitted by Zhang Min himself, how could Tao Qian know?
Tao Qian is leading the way in trouble, wanting to shirk responsibility.
Why did you splash dirty water on Guo Jia? Because Zhang Min is indeed the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and Guo Jia relied on the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, even if he changed the Taiping Army, he couldn't get rid of the fact that the predecessor was the Yellow Turban Army, so it was not untargeted to associate Zhang Min and Guo Jia, and furthermore, Tao Qian and Guo Jia had a grudge against their son, Tao Qian wanted to frame the blame, and Guo Jia was his best candidate.
Guo Jia and Tao Qian, who are now Yizhou Mu, are equal in status.
Zhang Min's killing of Cao Song was essentially a personal grudge, but it could rise to the level of conquest between princes.
"It's a wrong move."
Guo Jia stood up and turned his back to the inexplicable Zhen Yao.
Zhen Yao asked, "Why did the lord say this?" Could it be that Zhang Min did it, and it was indeed the Lord's order? Can the lord contact Zhang Min in Yizhou? ”
Guo Jia also did not conceal his instructions in Xuzhou to secretly order Zhang Min to kill Cao Song.
Zhen Yao looked at Guo Jia incredulously, and there was a lot of confusion in his heart, first of all, Cao Song was unknown at that time, and secondly, Guo Jia expected that Cao Song would definitely pass through Xuzhou, but he didn't ask.
"Lord, why did you order Zhang Min to kill Cao Song?"
This is the crux of the matter, Guo Jia and Cao Song have no grievances, even if they were forced to die by Cao Ying in Luoyang later, but the matter of Xuzhou is ahead.
Guo Jia turned around slowly and said indifferently: "When I went out of Yingchuan back then, I planned to serve Cao Ying. Zihe, do you think Cao Ying listened to Tao Qian's defense after hearing the news, or did he make another plan? ”
Zhen Yao blurted out: "Attack Xuzhou!" ”
Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed.
Without a high-sounding reason, how could the princes easily start a war between themselves? Let Zhang Min kill Cao Song, Guo Jia's original purpose was to give Cao Ying a righteousness to take Xuzhou, he deliberately told Zhang Min, just because he was afraid that his butterfly would disrupt the historical trajectory, in order to ensure that this incident happened, he did it intentionally.
Looking at it now, it was really a wrong move at the beginning, Cao Ying is now Guo Jia's enemy, giving Cao Ying a reason to attack Xuzhou.
But after thinking about it, Guo Jia smiled again, he didn't go to serve Cao Ying, so there was someone who would give Cao Ying a headache for a while.
Lu Bu, let you live, now, it's time to repay me.
