Chapter XXIII. Eighty Mile Pavilion (Lower)

As mentioned above, the Chu Dynasty has always been a general internal and external official, and officials of the same level are also in Beijing

Officials are precious. Therefore, these northern magistrates who fled and were captured, except for officials at the level of state pastors, are actually mostly just marginal figures of the major factions.

Zhang Ji and the Eight Sage Kings, the reason why they want to protect them is not because of how important these people are. After all, there is one less official, but there is also one more vacancy, and someone else can be sent to fill it. The more important reason is to gather people's hearts and gather the centripetal force of their own faction officials.

The same is true for Wang Han at this moment.

After a while, Wang Han had already ticked off the officials of his faction from the list, and then carefully read Xiao Mo's excerpts, handed them back to Xiao Mo along with the list, and said with a smile: "In the old man's opinion, these officials are excellent regardless of their mental ability, although they were defeated, but after being collected by the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng, they will definitely not be mediocre, it must be that the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng have too many things, and the correspondence is inconvenient, so they were accidentally left behind."

Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and said, "It must be like this"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yan said: "However, one of them is Lingzhou Governor Mu Wanxuan, this person has outstanding ability, perseverance, and loyalty to Dachu, none of them are under the Yunkuo Prefecture Governor Renxing, but they are not the same as ordinary officials.6 I want to think of his contribution during this time. Be far above others.

Ren Xing, the governor of Kunzhou, is a leader in both ability and official position among the officials who have taken refuge in Xiao Mo. Therefore, according to the previous suggestion of Zhang Maozong, in the excerpt of the merit, Xiao Mo also chaired Ren Xing to list it separately, focusing on the past few decades, and was captured by the grassland coalition army before, so he naturally pushed it all to others, but after he came to Shangyuan City, he gave advice and helped the army logistics, so that Xiao Wei benefited a lot and praised a lot, but not only pushed Ren Xing's guilt away, but also invited credit for it, paving the way for him to transfer Beijing as an official.

And Wang Han mentioned Ren Xing here, because he wanted Xiao Mo to deal with this Lingzhou Prefecture Mu Wanxuan like Ren Xing.

In terms of loneliness, in addition to Ren Xing and Wan Xuan, Zhang Yansheng and the Eight Sages King also each mentioned one to Xiao Mo, all of whom were local governors at the state pastoral level.

Yong's request for Wang Hu", Xiao Mo comprehended. The smile remained the same, still nodding, and said, "That's natural." ”

Seeing that Xiao Mo responded, Wang Han was even more relieved, and said with a smile: "The son trusts the old man so much, if there is anything that the old man needs to be busy with in the future, take care of it, and the old man will definitely do his best." ”

Speaking of which, such similar words are the third time that Wang Han has mentioned them to Xiao Mo in these days

And Xiao Mo also coped with it more and more, and he didn't have too many words of gratitude, a sentence of "the younger generation wrote it down" was enough.

On the other side, Wang Han looked at the list in Xiao Mo's hand. It was dense, and more than one-third of the names were outlined, all of which were to be included in the merit excerpt, and he couldn't help frowning: "However, in this way, it won't make Zirou embarrassed, right?" To ask for credit for so many people all at once? ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the privy envoy, most of these people only need to mention their names, and the focus is on asking Your Majesty for credit, but there are only dozens of people."

Wang Han shook his head and said, "Zirou, haven't you figured it out? In this battle, we are naturally meritorious heroes, but the previous war was unfavorable. Someone needs to receive such a sin? If you exonerate nearly half of the officials at once, if Your Majesty can't vent his anger, it is not good, you see if we are ・・・・・; ”

As he spoke, Wang Han's eyes looked up, and a light flashed inside.

Obviously, Wang Han had the idea of branding Zhang Qian and his family officials.

Xiao Mo still shook his head and said, "My lord, you are too worried, there are nearly 100 people on this list

For His Majesty, convicting 100 people in one breath is enough to vent his anger. The other officials who want to join the meritorious excerpts are all invited by the Eight Virtuous Kings and Zhang Yansheng, and the meritorious deeds made by the two of them this time are not much smaller than mine, if they are offended by this, they will cause more trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo coughed lightly a few times. Then he continued: "What's more, Xia Guan feels that there are not too many people who have escaped the crime this time. It's too little.

Wang Han was slightly stunned and asked, "He E?" ”

Xiao Mo sighed: "This war in the north is chaotic. The number of officials who survived was less than 30 percent. In addition, those officials who want to be convicted, and less than 20% of them can stay in office in the end. As a result, more than eighty percent of the official positions in the northern states have vacancies. However, the Northland went through this chaos. Most of the city has been turned into land, the people have been displaced, and seeing the cold winter, food and grass are another problem......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Of course, the vacant official position can be filled at any time. After all, there are so many scholars in Beijing and China, but these officials have been in Beijing for a long time and have no experience in dealing with people's livelihood, so they will wait for them to get to the place. It's already a delay in time, familiar with government affairs, and it's time to be in trouble, familiar with time, or a delay in time. With such repeated delays, the people could not afford to wait. How many people will freeze and starve to death during this period? Could it be that I am prosperous in the Chu Dynasty, and I still want to reproduce the tragedy of eating children and selling women in that troubled era? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo, who had always been indifferent, looked rare serious at this time, flicked the list of players, and said slowly: "The grass' original coalition army is strong, and it was captured and lost its city, and it was defenseless. I am afraid that the same is true of whomever these officials are guilty, but they are not

Cultivation and recuperation are even more indispensable to them, so I can protect these people. ”

When I heard Xiao Mo talk about the words "eating children and selling women". Even Wang Han couldn't help but be shocked. Born in a prosperous era, he only had such a tragedy in the history books, but it was hard to imagine. But looking at the situation in the north now, it is very likely to happen.

And after Xiao Mo said the last words. Wang Han looked at Xiao Mo in a daze, thinking that Xiao Mo would put so many defeats and escapes by the officials into the merit fold, just to curry favor with all forces, but now it seems that he is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Xiao Mo's purpose may be true, but in addition to currying favor with all forces, there is another noble purpose that he never thought of.

Wang Han also read the sage book all his life, back then. It is a famous Confucian, although he has been fighting for power over the years, but the idea of "being poor is good for himself, and reaching is to help the world". But there is still a little left in the depths of my heart.

Thinking of Bai Ji, as a privy envoy, these days he has been focusing on the party struggle, after a moment of silence, Wang Han hid the shame in his heart, as well as the jealousy and unhappiness that appeared for some reason, and nodded solemnly to Xiao Mo: "After returning to Beijing, the old man will report to His Majesty together with Zirou, and put the affairs of rebuilding the northern states and settling the victims of the war in the first place, and make every effort to deal with it." ”

"My lord. Benevolence!" Xiao Mo got up and bowed to Wang Han and said: "Xiaguan has thought of some countermeasures these days, and I also ask the adults for advice, after perfecting, Xiaguan is willing to play Your Majesty with the adults."

As he spoke, Xiao Mo passed a letter from Deng Shangquan and handed it to Wang Han with both hands.

Wang Han took the excerpt and quietly looked at Xiao Mo's films, Xiao Mo was elegant! s, because the day is light, it is a little more sick than in the past, but in Wang Han's eyes, there is a different demeanor.

On the other side, in the Eighty Mile Pavilion, in a remote guest room, Cao Fei, who had gradually become estranged from Xiao Mo these days, was sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed at the moment, looking at a certain place in a daze, with a happy and worried expression. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, but it startled Cao Fei, he was a Jiangyang thief, martial arts are not towels, and his six senses are sensitive, but he didn't expect anyone to come outside the room but he didn't notice it.

"Grid?

Cao Fei's eyes flashed with vigilance, and he pressed his hands on his waist, where his famous secret weapon was the Bone Nail, and at the same time raised his voice and asked.

"Yes, Chuda.

Outside the door, Chudana's slightly cold voice sounded.

Hearing Chu Da's answer, Cao Fei let go of his breath slightly, if it was Chu Da, he naturally had this skill not to let himself find out, and he didn't do it deliberately.

However, although he put the comic nail back in its place, Cao Fei's eyes were still vigilant, he closed his eyes and listened quietly for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else around except Chu Da, he opened the door for Chu Da and invited Chu Da into the house. said with a smile: "Brother Chu suddenly stacked me today, but it's rare, but what's the matter?" Do you have any commands? ”

Chu Da shook his head and said, "It's not about Lord Xiao, it's about you and me."

"You and my belly?"

Cao Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say the opposite.

Chu Da snorted coldly: "In the past two days, you have eaten a big pot of rice with those big-headed soldiers, isn't it greasy?" I've heard that there are wild animals in the woods not far away, and I want you to accompany me to hunt some game and make tooth sacrifices.

Cao Fei smiled and said, "Brother Chu, you are strong in martial arts. Even if you encounter tigers, leopards and wild boars, it is also game, why do you need a little brother to match? Again. You and I are gone, once the adult has any instructions one by one, r one by one"

Chu Da snorted coldly and said, "If there are any tigers, leopards and wild boars in the forest, I went to see them just now, and they are full of rabbits, birds, and sparrows." I'm good at the kung fu of hard bridges and hard horses, and I'm not proficient in light skills and secret weapons, but I'm not good at dealing with these little guys, and the game tastes "It's boring to be alone, so I'll come to you, as for the adults, there are three thousand forbidden soldiers around to guard" What can I do.

Speaking of which, it seems that there is too much circle-for-al-release. And a little impatient, he frowned and looked at Chu Da, and asked, "Do you want to go or not, give me the right words."

Hearing Chu Da say this, Cao Fei put it down instead. He knew that Chuda had always been so temperamental, although he was silent. But once he opened his mouth, he was extremely impulsive, and the gang was a problem left by the gangs before, not that he had any ill will towards him.

And Chu Daqi's skill is much higher than Cao Fei, and his status under Xiao Mo is also higher, but Cao Fei was inconvenient to refuse for a while, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, go to the forest with Chu Dasi to fight tooth sacrifices." ’’
