277. Master Wei, who is unparalleled in eloquence
Wei Zheng is worthy of Wei Zheng, his skills are not only upright, dare to anger the emperor in the court, when facing ordinary people, that flickering kung fu is even more superb.
After he received the emperor's order, he first asked Yang Gongren, the pastor of Yongzhou, to learn more about what happened, and Yang Gongren was surprised to see that the emperor had sent Wei Zheng to help him deal with this problem.
Who is this Wei Zheng, can he not know? This guy's temper is not an exaggeration to describe it as a stone in a dung tank, since he entered the center, the Manchu civil and military, including the emperor, has not been angry with him.
Of course, he is not a gratuitous resentment, whenever he speaks angrily, he will definitely be able to say a word, and he has always talked about things, no matter who he is, no matter who he claws, he will never leave you with half a penny.
And he had a very fierce opposition to the Turkic internal migration from the beginning, and His Majesty is now asking him to help him deal with this problem, is it really not pleasing to his eyes? By the way, send this plague god to clean him up?
"Why, Lord Yang is dissatisfied with His Majesty sending this official over to help you deal with this matter?" When Wei Zheng saw that Yang Gongren saw him, he made a bitter face, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
"Lord Wei is serious, Yang is just thinking about where to start with this matter, the approximate reason adults must know, this official will tell you the specific situation......" Yang Gongren was angry by his words, and suddenly came back to his senses, he put away his thoughts, cheered up, and recounted the ins and outs of the matter with Wei Zheng.
"In this way, Lord Yang, you first go to each fang to issue a notice, and gather the people and Hu people in batches to a fixed place, and the official will take two hours a day to come out and teach them in batches, and this person will not be less than two thousand and not more than three thousand at a time." After Wei Zheng listened, he pondered for a moment before speaking.
He made this decision after careful consideration, Chang'an now has a permanent population of about 300,000, plus the tens of thousands of Hu people who just moved in this year, close to 400,000. (Note, ancient Chang'an had a population of one million according to history, but that was the later period, and the population of Chang'an ten years before Zhenguan should have exceeded 500,000.) )
With such a large population, it is impossible for everyone to come and listen to his lectures, not all of them, but at least a third of the people must listen, first persuade these people, and then let them go back to persuade those who did not come, so word of mouth will naturally work.
This one-third of the population is not a small number, since it is impossible to gather them all together to listen to his lectures, there are too many people and it is easy to make trouble, and his voice is not so loud, and everyone cannot hear clearly.
Gather two or three thousand people at a time, as long as the venue is suitable, no matter how loud he is, everyone can almost hear it clearly.
When Yang Gongren heard this, he quickly understood what he meant, he groaned slightly, and felt that this method was good, so he responded and asked someone to supervise it.
"Lord Wei, these people are not court officials, they ......" After Yang Gongren finished instructing his subordinates, he couldn't help but carefully admonish Wei Zheng, for fear that he would bring the temper of the court to the people, which would be bad.
"Don't worry, Lord Yang, this matter is really messed up, not only do you have no good fruit to eat, but the official also has no good fruit to eat, you and I can be said to be a combination of honor and disgrace, and I have my own sense of proportion." Wei Zheng was quite speechless, could it be that he was a flood beast in the eyes of these officials? So scary?
Yang Gongren listened to his words, and remembered his exploits in other places, and gradually calmed down, yes, Lord Wei is relatively strict with the emperor and hundreds of officials, but it seems that the surname Pu is not bad, since he dares to take this errand, he must not mess around.
With this mood, he arranged the first lecture for Wei Zheng, the court had just won the battle, and the prestige in the hearts of the people was still very high, and after Yang Gongren's notice was posted, the responders were enthusiastic.
When Yang Gongren listened to Wei Zheng's lecture for the first time, he was stunned, he never knew that the upright and rigid and angry Lord Wei still had such a humorous and down-to-earth side.
After he came back to his senses, the hanging heart was completely relaxed, until this moment, he finally understood why the emperor sent him, this Wei Zheng is indeed the most suitable person, he can quickly adjust his role in different environments and different groups of people opposite.
Most of the ordinary people are illiterate, and they can't understand the flowery rhetoric and official language, but Wei Zheng has simply simplified a set of official theories and sayings on the great unity of the nation, and poured them to the people in the most popular and easy-to-understand way.
The way he speaks is both funny and humorous, and he uses both legal principles, and at the same time, he can also quote many words and empathy that ordinary people like, and every word can be said to the hearts of ordinary people.
On Hu Ren's side, because he is not very good at talking nonsense, he found a reader who is proficient in Hu Han's language, flexible and transparent, to help translate, and after he finished every speech, he could receive thunderous applause.
After he spent more than ten days and almost talked to the people of each fang, coupled with the shepherd Yang Gongren constantly assuring everyone that the contradictions between the Hu people and the people in Chang'an City were basically resolved.
After this battle, Lord Wei became famous, and when the common people mentioned him, they all gave him a thumbs up and praised him, while his colleagues in the court looked at him with strange eyes.
If Wei Zheng in the court is compared to an iron-faced and selfless minister, then Wei Zheng, who reasoned and taught in front of the people and the Hu people, was like a lotus stick.
Because of such a thing, whenever Wei Zheng was in the court again, the big guy's eyes were quite strange when he looked at him, that is, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he endured it very hard.
Of course, Wei Zheng knew what was on their minds, and since he accepted to help the emperor solve this matter, he knew that there would be such a result, so he could only pretend to be cold and turn a blind eye to this.
Li Shimin couldn't stop laughing, and he was in a very happy mood, since Wei Zheng officially participated in the affairs of the court as a cabinet, Li Shimin had many experiences of being choked by him in front of him and unable to come to power.
Although Li Shimin knew many things that Wei Zheng's starting point was for his own good, and he was never really angry with him for this, but as an emperor, he was angry about being so faceless by the minister, and he still had a little resentment in his heart.
Now that it is not easy to find such an opportunity that can not only vent his anger but also perfectly solve the integration of Hu and Han, Li Shimin naturally does not want to miss it.
After Wei Zheng returned to the dynasty in triumph, Li Shimin said to him with a smile: "Xuancheng, you really live up to expectations." ”
"After this incident, it must not be long before your Lord Wei's reputation as a peerless debater who can resent the monarch and appease the people will be able to spread all over the world."
"......" Wei Zheng.
