Chapter 144: Beihai Zheng Xuan

"Sure enough, it's the new He Beihai, the old Zheng Xuan, who is polite here." Zheng Xuan stood on the ox cart and bowed to He Bai, and then got off the car with the help of the soldier in front of the ox cart and greeted He Bai.

He Bai trotted ten steps in front of Zheng Xuan, then bent down and bowed. A few years after coming to this world, the etiquette of the ancient Chinese people was learned vividly by He Bai, and he was humble and polite when he saw people, which was absolutely wrong. For the old scholars with high reputation, they must be more courteous and courteous, and they must not be deceived by their official positions, and it is best if they can hold the courtesy of their disciples. This is the best attitude of Corporal Lixian and Temperance. Even though people should not be called, their hearts are absolutely satisfied.

Zheng Xuan stepped forward to help He Bai and said, "The old man is dressed in white clothes, but he doesn't dare to give such a big gift to He Beihai." ”

He Bai said with a smile: "Mr. Kang Cheng is famous all over the world, if you want to be a leader, at least he is the respect of the three princes." He Bai is an ignorant person, how dare he be rude to Mr. Kang Cheng. ”

Zheng Xuan shook He Bai's hand and said: "As soon as He Beihai's "100 Suggestions on Disaster Prevention and Control" came out, no one in the world dared to say that He Beihai was an ignorant person. ”

It turned out that although the society in recent decades was turbulent, the imperial court, from the emperor to the hundred officials, believed in the theory of disaster and Fu Rui. Regard all kinds of natural disasters as God's punishment and warning to mankind; Some rare phenomena in nature, such as the double spikes of grasses and the appearance of rare birds and animals, are regarded as God's rewards for people and their appreciation for "political clarity".

In order to prove that the ruler's actions were in line with the will of heaven, the court encouraged the local government to report the "Fu Rui" to the next level, so as to deify and praise the rule of the court. It is only in the last decade that the catastrophe has intensified, which has reduced the number of reported "Furui" trips.

Although Zheng Xuan has read the scriptures and history, he knows that the disaster is false, but he can't refute it, and he can't help but be very depressed. It wasn't until He Bai's "100 Suggestions on Disaster Prevention and Control" came out, as well as He Bai's various strange questions and answers in the court, that Zheng Xuan suddenly saw the light, as if a magical door had been pushed open in front of him, and there was a lot of knowledge that he had never seen before.

Ordinary people may think that He Bai is just a strange and strange story, and he doesn't have any great talent in his own right. But in the eyes of a person as studious as Zheng Xuan, the inexplicable knowledge in He Bai's mind is still a great treasure trove of knowledge of heaven and earth. Just like Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan also attaches great importance to He Bai. Even if it would be mistaken for Zheng Xuan filming He Bai, the sycophant of the county parents, Zheng Xuan did not spare hundreds of miles of hard work, from Donglai County to the counties outside the county boundary.

He Bai heard that Zheng Xuan had come to wait for him, and his emotion was even more incomprehensible. You must know that Zheng Xuan is not even a great general, He Jin, and even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who dominate one side in history, cannot take Zheng Xuan's initiative. If ordinary people can be praised by Zheng Xuan, they will definitely become famous people all over the world. He Bai can be greeted by Zheng Xuan for hundreds of miles, and he is definitely a famous man comparable to Confucianism.

He Bai was moved and wanted to cry, but he didn't know how to thank him. At the beginning of his tenure in Beihai, He Bai was worried that his background was not noble enough, and he was too young, and he would be despised and excluded by the local scholars and wealthy families in Beihai, and he would not be able to show his talents.

I'm afraid that I have to use the same tough measures as Tao Qian in Xuzhou, or kill the head to stabilize a county. Now with Zheng Xuan's leading support, it is easy to settle a state. So he bowed deeply to Zheng Xuan again, and sincerely held the gift of his disciple.

Zheng Xuan also bowed solemnly: "The old man heard He Beihai's "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory" and "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System", and heard that He Beihai was about to take office in Beihai Kingdom, and his heart couldn't help but be overjoyed. What is the North Sea herding and guarding my hometown and my land, my land has to be greatly governed, and the talents of my hometown have to be of great use. ”

It turned out that Zheng Xuan not only valued He Bai's knowledge, but also valued He Bai's arrival, which could be of great benefit to a country in Beihai. From He Bai's "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory", it is known that He Bai attaches great importance to laws and regulations, and even if the Son of Heaven violates the law, he must also be punished. This is better than the prince in "Historical Records * The Biography of Shang Jun" who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. In the future, the North Sea will be in order.

He Bai attaches great importance to public morality over private morality, which is better than those who attach importance to private morality and cherish feathers. Then there is the saying of the five elements, which is mutually reinforcing and complementing each other's common development, which is the concept of governing the country that does not despise any party, and Zheng Xuan, who was born poor, also deeply agrees. He Bai came to govern Beihai, and he wanted to come to Hanmen to have a bright day.

Although the "Jiupin Zhongzheng System" has been completed, major events have occurred in Beijing, and it cannot be passed through all states, counties, and counties in the form of laws and regulations. Now that He Bai has come to Beihai, He Bai's proposer's understanding of the "Nine Products Zhongzheng System" is very simple to implement in Beihai in advance.

If He Bai can really do this in the Beihai Kingdom, then the Beihai Kingdom will really reach the land of the fairyland on earth. So Zheng Xuan came to greet He Bai without having to work hard, just to let his hometown be governed and become more and more beautiful.

He Bai was even more frightened and said: "Mr. Kang Cheng attaches so much importance to the below, and he is terrified in the below, if he can't govern the Beihai, wouldn't it be a great crime to be in the bottom." ”

Zheng Xuan sighed: "He Beihai is famous all over the world when he is so young, and he has to shepherd the big county, and he is afraid that He Beihai is young and vigorous, and it is difficult to listen to good words." Now that I see He Beihai's panic and modesty, my heart is very relieved, and I know that Beihai can be governed. If He Beihai is not old and old, if there is a place to use old age, he is willing to help He Beihai. ”

Zheng Xuan's statement suddenly reassured He Bai, He Bai represents the power of the Beihai government, Zheng Xuan represents the power of the local scholars, the combination of the two parties, even if there are a few local tyrants and inferior gentry who do not know practice, it is difficult to escape He Bai's dictatorship iron fist. Based solely on the governing concept that He Bai obtained in later generations, if Beihai Kingdom could not be ruled in a short period of time, He Bai might as well wipe his neck and commit suicide as soon as possible.

After getting Zheng Xuan's assurance politically, He Bai's mind finally settled down a lot, so he asked about the various Yellow Turban thieves in Beihai Kingdom and Qingzhou.

Zheng Xuan thought for a while and said: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban should be the most troublesome to Zhang Rao of my Beihai Kingdom. Zhang Rao's captivity of Duchang, Xiami and the people of the three counties of Lu Township in Donglai, Xiami as a stronghold, with 40,000 or 50,000 people, and Donglai Dangli Guanhai are fighting each other, and the former Beihai Minister together with Donglai County Taishou and Qingzhou Prefecture soldiers repeatedly conquered and could not win, which can be described as a thief. Others, such as Qi Guo Bai Huan, Jinan Sima Ju, Le'an Xu He and others, each had 20,000 or 30,000 people rampaging through the state, gathering or scattering, coming and going without a trace, and the officers and soldiers could not ask for it. There are also Le'an pirates who support the Yellow Turbans, and the Donglai Qamdo Thieves Camp supports the Yellow Turbans, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are difficult to get. ”

According to Zheng Xuan, the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves have the strongest power in Zhang Rao's department, and He Bai has never heard of the name Zhang Rao. But Guan Hai of Donglai County is famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not counting the generals who killed Kong Rong, Zong Bao, and being able to fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds before being killed, this force value is not weak, at least it is more than ninety. Even Guan Hai is headed by Zhang Rao, so it can be seen that this person must be the one who will cause trouble in Qingzhou in the future and gather millions of yellow turban thieves.

It's just that it's not the time to crusade against Zhang Rao yet, and it needs to be said after taking office, so He Bai bowed to Zheng Xuan and said: "The major event of the expedition is not a day to be decided, why don't you go to Juxian County with Mr. Kang Cheng?" By the way, there is still a deceased man in our army who cannot come to meet with him for some reason, so I am willing to ask him to move to the Chinese army to meet him. ”

Zheng Xuan was puzzled and went to the Chinese army with He Bai, and when he saw Cai Yong who was probing his brain in an ox cart, he immediately shouted angrily. This is the meeting of old friends and the expression of true feelings. Cai Yong repeatedly confessed and invited Zheng Xuan to get in the car, then he told the cause of his pretending illness, and took several volumes from the "Book of the Later Han" that he had recently written and asked Zheng Xuan to comment on one or two.

He Bai did not disturb the academic discussion of the two great Confucians, but arranged for the students brought by Zheng Xuan to accompany the army. There are many good talents under Zheng Xuanmen, and He Bai remembers that Sun Qian seems to be his student. Sun Qian was Liu Bei's early strategist, and although his talent was not too high, it was also very important, especially in diplomacy, which was very convincing. If you want to govern Qingzhou well in the future, you need to reserve officials in advance, and He Bai can't help but make arrangements in advance.

After a warm reception, He Bai's courtesy and virtuous corporal and his attitude of treating others have been liked by all the scholars, and if He Bai is willing to speak out, many people will agree. He Bai was even more pleasantly surprised to find that among this group of scholars, not only Sun Qian, but also Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Xi Wei and other famous people in history were also among them. There are also unknown but talented people such as Zhao Shang, Gongsun Fang and others, among which there are not a few talents in counties and counties. He Bai is overjoyed, with these people here, he controls Qingzhou Yiye. So they greeted everyone with the gift of honor.

When the army rose again, when it reached the junction of Anqiu and Langya Gumu in Beihai, more than 100 officials of the country had gone to the border to welcome the new minister of the country.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty system, the prince was crowned the king, and the county was the country. Each country has a Fu and a minister. Fu is the master of the palace, and his position is like that of the Taifu of the Han Dynasty; is like a county guard, in charge of government affairs; There is a long history, and his position is like a county. There is another lieutenant, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and his rank is like that of a county lieutenant, and he is an officer in charge of military affairs and arresting thieves.

The minister of state is in charge of a county, and his post is heavy, so there are many ministers, except for lieutenants, long historians, etc., who are appointed by the imperial court, many subordinate officials are eliminated by the minister himself. Generally, people from this county are appointed, and only the three assistants of the Western Han Dynasty and the Yin subordinate officials of Henan in the Eastern Han Dynasty can appoint people from other counties. As for the initial border counties or ethnic minority areas within the territory, their subordinate officials routinely use the people of the inner counties in order to rule.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, whether this official can still do things in office depends on He Bai's perception and attitude of the new country relative to them. Therefore, they are not allowed to be free and slow, and dare to be disrespectful to the new minister.

It's just that the first words of the meeting between the master and the slave were not greetings, but shouted in a slightly frightened voice: "Prime minister, prime minister, the big thing is not good, the king of the North Sea has unfortunately been stabbed to death the day before yesterday......"

"Ah???h As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xuan and others, who came to meet the officials together, exclaimed.
