The Hedong County Newspaper finally arrived at Shangshutai in the afternoon of the next day, but before that, Cao Cao sent a fast horse to send an order, so that Cao Zhang temporarily supervised the Xiahou Lan Department, intercepted the Hukou Mountain rebellion that flowed north, and looked for an opportunity to attack.

Since Cao Cao set the capital of Anyi, Hedong County was moved to Fenyin, and it was not much closer to Beiqu, Pishi and other counties than Anyi, so it was too much to keep Du Ji to be trusted, and he did not dare to slack off, so he first sent people to report to Shangshu, and then sent county soldiers to go out to explore the shape - so the report was very rough, and it was not as accurate and detailed as Zeng Ergou said to Shixun.

The first county was in turmoil, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and soon there was a royal history to impeach Du Ji and Beiqu County. Cao Cao first pressed the bullet seal, and ordered the imperial history to strictly interrogate Zeng Ergou, and under the three woods, he did everything. So a new bullet medal appeared again, and the spearhead was pointed at Shi Xun.

First of all, Hukou Mountain Coal Workshop was built by Xun Zhao, and Zeng Ergou was also recommended by Xun, although it was a long time apart, it is not possible to exonerate all of it. If this is all there is to it, it is even worse to find out that it was Xun who drove the Han people into slavery, and then used the Hu people as workers, and it was Xun who set a precedent, and most of the Hu workers who had recently rebelled were from the Xianbei Tuoba Department, and it was Xun's godson who was Wei Ben who was a traitor......

As the so-called "tree big wind", it is Xun famous, although he thinks he has not offended anyone, but he has those who are trying to make progress in a bite, and he wants to make a name for himself. Playing the imperial history doctor Mao Jue, Mao Xiaoxian has always been upright, so he has nothing to hide, and he has sorted out everything and presented it to Cao Cao. However, in the imperial history, Cheng Wang Lang was a delicate man, and he took advantage of his position to transcribe the relevant content in advance and send someone to quietly send it to the mansion.

It's Xun's hatred, I'm still worried about Kong Rong. I didn't expect anyone to let me go about it. Do you think that this will shake my foundation? That's naïve! If Cao Cao has the intention of doubting me and abandoning me. Any one of you will remove me from office; If Cao Cao didn't stop me, what kind of crime would this be! Where did these foolish people who have never heard of their names come out - I ordered the Guan Shi to record the list of impeachmentists, and look for an opportunity to clean you up one by one!

The tiger is not powerful, you still treat me as a sick cat?

And the Zeng Ergou, I went to prison, but it was just a gesture. After all, you are an old official, and you can always save your life afterwards - although hard labor or exile cannot be escaped, but how dare you confess everything that is not important? What drove the Han people into slavery, what did Tuoba buy Hu Gong, and so on, although it is not a big crime, it will affect my reputation for purity and innocence. That's it, that's it, thou art unrighteous. It's just death, I just need to say hello to Wang Jingxing casually. This one is a knife, and you're done!

Let's say that Wang Lang is a little excessive, and not long after those impeachment performances were submitted, Cao Cao directly issued them to Shi Xun. Cao Cao's meaning, this is more detailed than the flawed ear, I don't blame Qing, don't worry; But for Shixun, since he learned about the content of the impeachment through Guò in an upright way, he had to say something about it. So he played, resigned from the post of Chinese secretary, and thought about it behind closed doors.

This is also an old routine in officialdom, the minister of state is impeached, as long as it is not an obvious and outright false accusation, always have to show an attitude of admitting mistakes - even if the crime is not in me, but being questioned as a minister itself shows that my moral character is not yet excellent, and I should apologize to the monarch - and then the monarch will issue an edict to comfort him, asking him to "change it if there is one, and encourage it if there is none", and don't lock myself up, hurry back to work.

However, Xun took advantage of this opportunity to skip work for three days in the name of righteousness, and has been discussing with Guan Jing, Xiao Ji and others at home. The most important question, of course, is how to avoid Kong Rong's difficulty, and Xiao Ji said half-jokingly: "If you resign immediately, you may be able to avoid it." ”

Guan Jing said Don't be stupid, with the identity and status of the lord, even if Cao Cao approves his resignation, he will inevitably have to give him an idle post to support, it is impossible for him to leave Anyi, but if he still stays in Anyi City, Kong Rong suffers misfortune, how can he pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to have heard of it?

There is no good plan for this matter for the time being, so Shixun has to wait to see if the plague in Hongnong and Nanyang will spread to Hedong, but it really can't be done, so he has to pretend to be sick as Xiao Yuantu said. Another question, this time, many middle and low-level officials have played to impeach themselves, but is it just their personal behavior, risking their luck, or is there someone behind them? Is it that the Ruying faction wants to do it to themselves? Don't be precautionary.

Guan Jing said that as far as our intelligence sources (including communication with the school), there is no sign of anyone instigating it at present, and Wang Lang, who is biased towards the Ruying faction, took the opportunity to show goodwill, which just shows that the Ruying faction has nothing to do with this matter. However, whether the turmoil will stop here, or will it continue to develop, which will cause some people to be ready to move, we have to inquire carefully and be vigilant.

It is said that Xun rested for three days, and Cao Cao also sent two documents to comfort him, asking him to resume his work, and Xun was in a good posture, and on the fourth day, it was the prime minister's deliberations, so he dressed up early in the morning and went to the palace.

Cao Cao saw that Shi Xun was coming, smiled at him, and then changed his face and asked the ministers, "What are your issues today?" At present, there is no war report from Hongzhou and Shuozhou, and if there is no major event, it can be dispersed. Mao Jue immediately straightened his waist, held the wat plate in his hand, and faced Cao Cao: "Zeng Ergou's case has been tried today, please order the king." ”

Cao Cao said, "How did you break it?" Mao Jue said: "Cha Zeng Ergou took people's lives in Hukou Mountain and Cao, and there were no less than thousands of dead before and after the service, which caused this chaos, and the crime was unforgivable, and it should be beheaded." Cao Cao glanced at Shi Xun, who narrowed his eyes slightly, half-hung his head, and was indifferent at all. So he agreed: "Congqing is broken." ”

After solving a matter, Xun Yu played: "The priest of the Ministry of Rites enjoys the flaws in the middle of Shilang, and there is something to play." ”

Although it is a meeting of the prime minister, in some special periods, some important issues must also be attended by officials from relevant departments to report the details to the monarch and the prime minister. Question: What is the big deal going on for the priests? Everyone wondered, this is not a year, there is no festival, and there is no sacrifice, what must be put on the court meeting?

Cao Cao nodded: "Once the public has said it, it can be summoned." ”

That Lang Zhongduan flaw has been waiting outside the lobby for a long time. Listen to the summons. He immediately bowed his head and rushed in. He came to Cao Cao. He bowed first, then got up, held the wat plate in his hand, and began to make a statement.

Shi Xun raised his eyes slightly, glanced at this person, and saw that he was about thirty years old, not tall but with a burly physique, and a large square face. With a thick beard under his chin, he doesn't look like a civil servant at first glance, but rather a military general. Yesun has seen his people, and he wants to decide the imperial examination at the beginning of the day, because there are many applicants, which is unexpected, so several examiners were forced to go into battle with protégés and former officials, and a group of students from Taixue were temporarily pulled over to help, and this Duan Fang was Chen Qun's disciple, and he also had to participate - Yes Xun vaguely remembered. It is the first examination of the examination papers, and it is determined by this person.

It's only been half a year. This guy actually got mixed up with the 800-stone priest, it seems that Chen Changwen attaches great importance to this kid - what is he going to talk about today?

Just listen to Duan Fang's mouth, it is purely a southern accent - not Yuan and Xiang, it must be Hong and Min - fortunately, his speech is quite clear, and he slows down the speed of speech as much as possible, and the ministers of the Central Plains are not enough to understand him: "Go to winter, in October of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the sun is eclipsed, and it is twelve degrees at the end; The ministers look at the celestial phenomena closely, and the October sun of this year should also have food. This day is also a warning, and the king must not ignore it. ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this: "Qing Qi knows the sky? ”

"A little bit of understanding, a little understanding."

Did Xun Xin say that there was a solar eclipse in October last year? I didn't even pay attention...... Well, if you are an astronomy enthusiast and can understand it better than others, the problem is that you can still plan for another solar eclipse in October this year, which is not "slightly understood". Why don't you go to Xu Du to be the Taishi Ling, and you want to come to us to be a priest and enjoy the Shilangzhong? The profession is not right, but it is really condescending.

The astronomical calendar of the Han Dynasty and the revision of the history books belong to the same institution, that is, the Taishi Ling under Taichang, and the heavy responsibility of revising the history was transferred to the author Lang after the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Taishi gradually evolved into the Taishi Supervisor, Si Tiantai, until the Qin Tianjian of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who was in charge of the astronomical calendar. To say that although the Wei State is a vassal and the official system is different from the imperial court, the basic responsibilities are all included, but the corresponding departments and official positions corresponding to the Taishi Order are missing, because whether it is to repair history or observe the sky, it is an important matter for the country, and theoretically only the Son of Heaven is qualified, and the vassal should not be involved.

However, on the other hand, there was no ban on astronomy and calendars in these years, unlike some dynasties in later generations, except for the bureaucratic families that were passed down from generation to generation in the Qin Tianjian, no one else was allowed to watch the stars and make calendars, and talk about celestial phenomena in vain, otherwise they would be punished with death. Therefore, there are not a few folk astronomy lovers - legend has it that Zhuge Kong knows astronomy and can borrow the southeast wind from the stars, but he knows that the source must be before the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, today Duan Fang played Cao Cao, saying that the celestial phenomena are not good at observing astronomy, nor are they overstepping their duties, and the celestial phenomena correspond to personnel, and in the eyes of people in this era, it is indeed a major matter of the country, and it must be raised to the monarch and prime ministers in person at the meeting.

But the question is also on this "celestial phenomenon corresponding to personnel", why does God warn of a solar eclipse? According to Dong Zhongshu's words in "Spring and Autumn Dew": "The loss of the country is the beginning of the sprout, and the disaster of the sky is to condemn it." to rebuke it and not know how to change, but to see strange things and be horrified. "Doesn't that mean that the monarch has lost his morals, and the government of the country has begun to be chaotic, and the country is going to be in chaos, so something must be changed?

If Duan Fang is the Taishi Ling, observe the celestial phenomena at any time, and report to the monarch at any time, this is your own job, although the monarch does not like it in his heart, it is inconvenient to express it, and you must quickly find the reason in order to avoid it. But you're not too Shiling, and you don't say it when there's a solar eclipse, it's been more than half a year before it suddenly comes up, what do you mean?

So Dan saw Cao Cao's gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice: "Hugh has to speak of heaven's will and be alarmist." In the past, the yellow scarf was a disaster, Dong Zhuo was arrogant, and the princes rose together, why not eat the day? Today's lonely brigade is difficult, the Central Plains is safe, what is the eclipse? Who is immoral, the Son of Heaven? Lonely yes?! ”

Duan Fang replied without changing his face: "According to the old record, there is food in September of the sixth year of Jian'an, and the imperial court is the edict of the three princes to filial piety, Jiuqing, the school captain, the county guard, and the prime minister, all of whom are sealed and secretive, in order to appease the anger of the heavens; In the spring and February of the seventh year, Ding Maoshuo ate again - what is the past? May the king not take the will of heaven lightly. ”

Before the words fell, I heard Shi Xun next to him suddenly speak: "What Sique (Duan Flawed Character) said, how absurd!" (To be continued......)
