MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1171 eccentric

  Chapter 1171 Strange

  Cao Wei’s Jiupin Zhongzheng System is an improvement on the basis of the Chaju system in the Han Dynasty.

  At the same time, it can better select talents for the country.

  It's a pity that it was produced on the basis that the aristocratic family controlled almost all the resources of society, and naturally had major flaws that could not be corrected.

  The aristocratic family that monopolized intellectual resources used the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System to further firmly control the upward channels in their own hands.

   Thoroughly mastered the promotion method for Han Shu's children, blocking the way for Cangtou Guishou to stand up.

  Feng Duhu must break the monopoly of the aristocratic family, and this is the reason.

  The Hedong family that Wei Rong suspects intends to take advantage of the dispute between Wei Yan and Feng Yong to benefit the fisherman, but this is just a common method of the family.

   Today, if the aristocratic family can benefit from Liu Han, it will send out the children of the clan to serve.

  If you can get more benefits from Cao Wei tomorrow, you will send another group of children to serve.

  Anyway, in this world, only they have talents in their hands, or in other words, only they have enough talents in their hands.

   It is rare for Han Shu's children to produce so many outstanding characters.

  As for Cantou Guishou, what can those mud-legged people who don't even have a proper name do?

  When Wang Mang usurped the Han, the red eyebrows and the green forest were powerful enough, right?

   Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan, isn't his righteous name orthodox enough?

   But they rely too much on those mud legs, and even a cook who doesn't understand anything can be promoted to the position of general. What happened in the end?

   Wasn’t it replaced by Emperor Guangwu supported by Haoyou in Zhongyuan, Hebei?

  The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world.

  The ruler can choose his ministers, and the ministers can also choose their ruler.

  The people and ministers in this world represent different meanings in the eyes of different people.

  So the right to knowledge interpretation is still very important.

  In this kind of matter, don't blame Wei Rong for suspecting that the aristocratic family wants to provoke Feng and Wei to fight, so as to profit from it.

  Because Wei Rong really knows his lord's temperament and reputation too well.

   He is up and down, with few allies.

  Looking at the army, everyone avoids it.

   Not to mention being at odds with your teacher.

   And it's still at this extremely sensitive moment.

  After Wei Rong left, Feng Duhu returned to the house thoughtfully.

  Seeing his appearance, General Guan couldn't help asking with concern:

"What's wrong?"

   "Hedong side, about Wei Yan."

  Feng Duhu shook his head and smiled, "It's not a big deal."

   After thinking for a while, he looked at General Guan again:

   "The list of subordinate officials of the Hedong Dudu Mansion will be sent over tomorrow. I want to have a look."

  Although after Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty took power, whether it was the Great General Sima who recorded the affairs of the imperial court, or the local county guards, their power had shrunk compared with that of the former Han Dynasty.

  However, compared with later generations, the power of the Great General Sima and the officials of the frontiers is still extremely great, and they are extremely independent.

  For example, you can choose your own subordinate officials to assist you, you can also recommend your own staff to become subordinate officials, and it is not impossible to send them to other places as chief officials.

   There is no need to avoid suspicion at all, but it can be regarded as the mainstream and normal practice in officialdom.

   Wei Yan is a lone minister, and most people can't stand his temper.

  If someone really goes to him and gets his trust.

  Then, with Wei Yan's status, let this person become an official of the Hedong Dudu's Mansion, and learn about the affairs of the Dudu's Mansion, it is simply a matter of his words.

  However, the Central Capital Protectorate is in charge of the internal and external military affairs. No matter how powerful Wei Yan is, the change of officials in the Capital Governor's Mansion must be reported to the Central Capital Protector even if it is a process.

   It's just that to Feng Duhu, these are trivial matters, and they are usually not sent to him for him to see in person.

   At most, it would be at General Guan's place, and it would have been dealt with, that is, to mention it to Feng Duhu afterwards.

   "A subordinate officer of the Hedong Dudu's Mansion? Have a question?"

  General Guan became vigilant when he heard Feng Duhu say this.

  In terms of the importance of the various capitals of the Han Dynasty, Hedong must be ranked first.

  Because it faces more than 200,000 Wei thieves directly, and it is also a barrier to the east of the capital. At the same time, its gains and losses are also related to the safety of Bingzhou.

   "Didn't I say it, it shouldn't be a big problem."

  Feng Duhu smiled and comforted General Guan, "It's probably a trick of the Hedong family."

   It must be a dream to say that a catastrophe can completely succumb to the Hedong family.

  The aristocratic families in the Shu region were able to persist for so long under the joint suppression of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and King Feng Gui.

  The aristocratic family in Hedong is much more confident than the aristocratic family in Shu.

  Although King Feng Gui's attack on the Hedong family is far more violent, more direct, and more thorough than that of the Shu family.

   But at the same time, it may make some people more hostile and want revenge.

  Although there is no direct evidence that Feng Guiwang planned the Hedong massacre, but free heart proves such a thing, do we need evidence?

  Besides, isn’t Guiwang Feng also a free testimonial now?

  General Guan was about to speak when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Madam You's cry of pain to be heard in the delivery room.

   directly interrupted General Guan's thoughts, making her swallow back what she wanted to say.

  Mrs. You is a person who has given birth to a child after all. It seems that this second child did not have much trouble, and soon entered a critical moment.

  Her screaming became louder and louder, and she could be heard just by listening to the sound. At this time, she must be in extreme pain.

   "Sister Shuangshuang, shall we go?"

  Outside the delivery room, a few small heads were surreptitiously protruding from the corner of the wall, as if they wanted to see clearly what happened here.

   Hearing Mrs. You's shrill cry of pain, some people couldn't bear it anymore, their little faces turned pale, and they suggested in a low voice.

  The elder sister who took the lead was staring wide-eyed, looking over there with great interest, when she heard such disappointing words, she immediately turned her head to follow the sound in displeasure.

   But the one who spoke was none other than the boy from the Liu family who just came to the mansion a few days ago.

   "Liu Dalang, I want you to go alone!"

  The fourteen-year-old Zhuge Zhan already knew how to avoid suspicion, and he didn't follow around to mess around.

  Feng Ying, who has just turned twelve years old, has already shown signs of development. Among the boys, she is the tallest.

  But seeing her phoenix eyes twitched, she has the majestic air of her mother:

   "Coward, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army here again, see how I will deal with you!"

  Liu Dalang saw the appearance of his eldest sister, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but whispered with the last stubbornness:

   "I'm not a coward..."

   Ah Chong glanced at Liu Dalang, and silently said "hehe".

   This guy's surname is Liu. I heard that he is related to the royal family. When he first came here, don't look polite.

   But that's for grown-ups and grandma.

  Talk to them in normal times, and talk about what I have seen in the palace and what I have learned in the palace.

   I don’t know how that sense of superiority came from.

  You are so powerful, why come to my house to study?

   Not to mention now, in front of my sister, I just dare to whisper, what about the big tone when I first came?

   Haven't you been defeated yet?

   Coward!

   Shuangshuang, who had just finished scolding, stretched her neck, and at the same time listened to the louder and louder cries from the delivery room, with a little worry on her small face:

   "Aunt Zhang, are you okay?"

  Although she often contradicts Aunt Zhang, she still respects Aunt Zhang in her heart, and even treats Aunt Zhang as her own mother.

  Because when she was a child, she was brought by Aunt Zhang for at least half of the time.

   Instead, it is my own mother, who is often not at home.

   After finally going home, I didn’t enjoy my mother’s love, but I felt her mother’s whipping all the time.

  At this time, I heard Aunt Zhang's cry of pain, how could I not make her worry.

   "I heard people in the palace say that a woman giving birth is like passing through the gate of hell..."

  In order to express himself, Liu Dalang talked about things in the palace.

   Then he found that Shuangshuang and Ah Chong were staring at him fiercely.

"Wow…"

   After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound like fairy music in the delivery room.

  General Guan subconsciously stood up following the cry, and then looked in a certain direction outside with some doubts.

   She seems to hear two "wows"?

  But this doubt was quickly suppressed by herself.

   "Si Niang, did you give birth? Are you okay?"

  Feng Duhu couldn't wait to walk to the door, and asked anxiously, "Medical workers, should you get Zhang or get tile?"

  The closed door was finally opened, and the female medical worker came out with the child in her arms, and said with a smile:

   "Congratulations to the Protector of the Central Government, and the joy of Nongwa."

   "Get tiles?" Feng Duhu couldn't believe it, and repeated, "Daughter?"

   "Exactly."

   "Hahaha, good, good! Finally turned over..."

  Feng Duhu danced and took the baby from the hands of the medical staff. Without avoiding the mess in the delivery room, he walked to the couch and said to Mrs. You:

   "Si Niang, look, she is a daughter."

  Madam You understands that this may be her last daughter, and Feng Duhu, who established the medical school himself, understands even more:

  With the level of medical care and hygiene in this era, the wives and concubines in my family are really no longer suitable for having children in the future.

   Otherwise, the risk factor is too great.

  So, this may really be the birth of my last child.

  The first one is a daughter, and the last one is also a daughter. This old man is considered complete in his life.

   It's just that Feng Duhu is consummated, but Mrs. You is angry and wronged:

   "I don't watch it! It's your fault, it's all your fault, you always say you want me to have a daughter, look! I actually gave birth to a daughter!"

   As she spoke, she turned her head away, wiping away tears in anger.

  Feng Duhu handed his daughter to the medical staff and asked them to wash it, then squatted in front of the couch and comforted Mrs. You:

   "The daughter is also very good! The daughters in our family are all my favorite babies."

  He leaned close to Mrs. Right's ear and whispered a few words.

  Madam You finally turned her head with surprise on her face: "Really?"

   "That's natural. If you don't believe me, ask Sanniang, did I tell her about Shuangshuang's dowry?"

  Madam You subconsciously looked at Madam Zuo who followed in.

   Seems to have guessed what Feng Duhu promised, Madam Zuo nodded:

   "Ah Lang did say that I was shocked at that time."

  Madam You was finally relieved, but she was still not very satisfied, she muttered a few words, nothing more than blaming Feng Duhu for her crow's mouth.

  After the medical staff cleaned up the baby and carried it back, Mrs. Zuo was the first to take over.

  Anyway, her biological mother was not in a good mood at this time.

   Looking at the ugly little daughter who has not yet fully stretched out, Mrs. Zuo, who has long since given birth, felt pity for her, and asked:

   "What's the name of this daughter?"

   "Let's call her Xiaoxiao." Feng Duhu replied directly, "The youngest daughter."

  The daimyo waits until the 100th day when Ping An grows up before taking it, so as not to feel that it is too inflated, and it is not good to give it a little tribulation.

  Although he believes in science, Feng Duhu said that he must abide by customs.

  Madam You's child landed safely, and the Central Capital Protectorate, which had been tense these days, finally relaxed.

   Only then did Feng Duhu think about getting down to business.

  According to the agreement with Wu, they will send troops together in April.

   Now that February is about to pass, there is only one month left.

  The mobilization of soldiers and horses, the preparation of food and grass, have entered the most important moment.

  But the news that Wei Rong brought over made Feng Duhu feel a little uneasy.

  He personally checked the list of officials and generals in the entire Hedong Dudu Mansion, and then took out Guo Xun's files.

  The content of this person on the file is relatively simple:

  Hedong people have traveled to various places in the Central Plains, are familiar with geography, and are quite talented. They were recommended by Wei Yan as the left hussar general to join the army.

   "There is no Guo family among the aristocratic families in Hedong?"

  Feng Duhu held Guo Xun's file and was a little puzzled:

   "Which family does this person represent?"

  A person who can travel around and be familiar with geography, without a certain family background, can't do this.

   Not to mention that no matter what his temperament is, Wei Yan is always a veteran general in the Han army. When it comes to the experience of defending a place, I am afraid that few people can compare with him.

   After all, he once guarded Hanzhong alone.

The suggestion put forward by    can persuade Wei Yan to change the defense of Hedong, which is not something ordinary people can do.

  So if what the dossier says is true, then this person is definitely not simple.

   "There is a Guo family in Taiyuan. As for Hedong," Mrs. Zuo shook her head, "I don't have any impression."

  She was the first leader to surrender to Taiyuan, so she has an impression of the big clan in Taiyuan.

  I heard that Guo Huai, the original governor of Yongzhou in Wei State, came from the Guo family in Taiyuan.

  Feng Duhu went through the influential Hedong family in his mind, and made sure that there was no one with the surname Guo.

  He tapped the desk lightly with his fingers.

   This is the performance of his thinking.

  Actually, it may be more appropriate to discuss this kind of problem with Mrs. You.

  But Mrs. You just gave birth to a child, and it was when she was weak and needed to rest. Feng Duhu naturally couldn't bother her with this matter.

   "Let someone check this guy and see which company he came from."

   After much deliberation, Feng Duhu finally made up his mind.

  Madam Zuo hesitated:

   "This person was personally recommended by Wei Yan, and he is also an official of the Governor's Mansion in Hedong. It can be regarded as Wei Yan's own use."

   "Is it inappropriate for us to intervene in the investigation?"

   To put it bluntly, Guo Xun belongs to Wei Yan.

  Although the Zhongdu Protectorate is in charge of the internal and external military affairs, it has not made any mistakes on the other side, and it is at this sensitive moment.

   People who go to investigate Wei Yan in this way may be said to deliberately delay the attack on Wei.

   It’s okay to find out something.

   I'm afraid that if we can't find out, if the army is defeated later, the Central Capital Guard will be charged with the crime of shaking the morale of the army before the war.

   But this time, Mrs. Zuo knew in her heart that the palace probably didn't expect much results from sending troops.

   It's just to give Wu Guo a face.

  Feng Duhu heard the words, and couldn't help "tsk" a little irritably.

  In fact, he never thought of intervening in this dispatch of troops.

  He agrees with Mrs. Zuo's evaluation of Wei Yan:

   At any rate, he can be regarded as a general. Even if he can't win, can he deliberately give away his head?

   Losing some face in a small defeat, or returning without success, are all within the acceptable range of the palace.

  Besides, Prince Liu Chen has officially studied at the residence.

   This can be regarded as the attitude of the palace taking the initiative to take a step back and try to repair the relationship with the Central Capital Protectorate.

   Going to investigate Guo Xun at this time, not only can't trust Wei Yan, but also can't trust the palace, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to provoke trouble.

   "It's just that I always feel that this Guo Xun is a bit weird." Feng Duhu frowned, "I don't feel good if I don't pick out the people behind him."

   "How about this, you can't investigate clearly, you can always investigate secretly, right? Let the people of the Wulin League inquire. Also, send a greeting card to Pei Qian, and I will come to ask. He is most familiar with the Hedong side."

  The knight-errant style was very popular in the Han Dynasty. Even the government could not control these guys who used martial arts to commit crimes.

  Wulin League is not a government organization, even white gloves are barely enough, and black gloves are almost the same.

   It was all supported by Feng Duhu's reputation among rangers.

  The disadvantage is that it is not formal, and the government still has no way to recruit these people.

  The good thing is that the ranger dare not disobey the leader Feng's order.
