Chapter 872: The Appearance of the Lost Country
Beifu executed nearly 100 officials on the south bank of Weishui, and Wei also executed at the Zhangshui Bridge in Yedu, beheading Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Huang and abandoning the city.
Sima Yi is a loyal minister who has seen through the Gongsun family's serial schemes...... Therefore, there are no innocent people in the Gongsun clan, and they all have to be brought to justice.
There is no way, Sima Yi slaughtered Liaodong and cut off the retreat to pay the surrender, and the Great Wei court should also have something to say. The head of Gongsun Gong's uncle and nephew is the answer to Sima Yi.
Gongsun Gong's uncle and nephew died of grievances, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to Tingwei Gaorou, who prided himself on justice and had always maintained self-cultivation.
In the past, Emperor Wei Shenzong insisted on executing Bao Xun, and now the emperor wants to execute Gongsun Gong's uncle and nephew...... There are also all kinds of unbelievable rumors and rumors spread by the court, and this kind of hot topic that is very popular in the market has been circulated layer by layer through the mouths of the servants in the homes of hundreds of officials, and has been transmitted to the ears of ministers and officials.
Naturally, these broken things make people very anxious, how deep is the grace left by Emperor Chengzu of the Han Dynasty?
But his son was addicted to women, so much so that the old ministers of the Han family were separated from morality and fell to Beifu one after another; As for Da Wei, so far, the ministers and officials don't even have a safe spare tire that can be used to change jobs.
Who can be blamed for this?
Emperor Shenzong had ten sons and one daughter before receiving Zen, but after receiving Zen, he never had any more children, and ten sons died one after another, like a curse.
Until now, Emperor Shenzong has left two sons alive, but the other one is detained in Guanzhong.
As for finding other close relatives of the imperial family...... Unfortunately, the Imperial Succession Law also has to follow the basic rules, and the highest priority is the bloodline of Emperor Shenzong's half-brother.
From the perspective of patriarchy, succession, and heirs, Cao Zhi is not suitable, and Cao Zhi's two sons are the same generation as Cao Rong, which is also not suitable. In other words, Cao Zhi's grandson can be passed on to Cao Rong to inherit the throne.
It's a pity that Cao Zhi intends to welcome away the Empress Dowager Bian, and he doesn't care about the situation in Yedu at all, and he has no interest in coming to Yedu to be a bright and capable monarch who is eagerly looking forward to Ganlin.
Cao Zhi's lineage can't be counted on, Cao Xiong is the heir, and the only one who continues the bloodline and has a good generation is Cao Zhang's grandson Cao Fang...... It's a pity that Cao Fang was sent to Beifu as a hostage when he was one and a half years old, and he had no concept of Dawei and Cao's at all.
Ting Weiqing Gao Rou sighed that the death of the country was not far away, and continued to read the information integrated in his hand.
Ordinary people have a different view of the war, and unlike the ministers and officials who have no way out, they have great resistance in this war with a pessimistic future.
The people are war-weary, and it can even be said that 'Nanwang Wangshi is another year'.
The king's division was delayed, and the people had to take the initiative to take action, which was mainly reflected in the flight of various groups.
You don't need to run too far, you can just run to the mountains and wilderness, as long as you get out of the management of the city and the township, then you can jump out of the multiple shackles of tax rent, military service, and conscription.
Not only did the people flee, but there were also officials everywhere; Naturally, there are also those who specialize in arrest and arrest.
In particular, the flight of officials has a large range of influence and is very bad; Therefore, in order to rectify the hearts of the officials, it is necessary to integrate the attitudes of the officials...... It is necessary to first catch the fleeing officials and punish them severely, so that they can set an example.
As the supreme judicial official of the Great Wei Dynasty, Gao Rou is well aware of the fugitives and arrests in various places, how can he be optimistic?
With pessimism, Gao Rou entered the palace to deliver the official document.
As in the past, the emperor did not see him, let alone deal with or negotiate the matter.
It was still collected by Sun Zi and Liu Fang of Zhongshu Province, and left in Zhongshu Province for processing...... This made Gao Rou more and more dissatisfied.
In terms of qualifications, what is the background of Sun Zi and Liu Fang?
Now that all the state secrets are in the hands of these two people, many old ministers who have been in the third generation of Shi Wei and have followed Emperor Wu in the southern and northern wars for more than 30 years can only bow down to their orders...... No matter how you look at it, this Great Wei is all about to end.
suppressed this thought in his heart, and he didn't know how many people in this huge court were secretly suppressing their inner resentment and dissatisfaction like themselves, waiting for an opportunity and window to break out.
And this suspicion made him walk on thin ice...... Trust between colleagues in the past is gradually crumbling as the country declines, and it is unclear whether the other party has any contact with the south.
It is not good to say that the friends who are happy to drink today have already marked your head and your family's head with the south and bargained.
The deceit in the troubled times is permeating the daily life of every Wei important minister who doubts himself in his heart at this moment.
After all, the war did not break out, and the situation in Yedu was calm.
The calmer it is, the more sensitive people feel panicked, and no one knows how many turbulent undercurrents are hidden under the calm.
In this calm atmosphere, Sima Yi finally came to Yedu.
At this moment, Sima Yi is no longer as open-minded and cheerful as before, and his whole temperament is gloomy, but he is tall, strong, and oppressive.
When he passed the Zhangshui Bridge in a car, he caught a glimpse of Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Huang's uncle and nephew who abandoned the city, and then raised his hand: "Stop." ”
Sima Shi, who was traveling with the car, was wearing a coarse linen short coat, and his expression was also unresponsive, and he felt that after the car stopped, he looked back and saw his father jumping out of the car.
I have the heart to follow and see, but what's there to see?
The entire Great Wei Dynasty had no way to retreat, and the only way to retreat was Liaodong, and under Chen Qun's hints, persecution, and guidance, the Liaodong Massacre occurred.
The real reason for the slaughter of the old Gongsun clan was not only to cut off the retreat and pay the name to the Great Wei, but to vent his anger.
I thought that the Gongsun clan would quietly operate and build sea ships to facilitate the evasion of the Han army.
But Gongsun Gong doesn't have such long-term concerns at all, Gongsun Gong is already physically deficient and unable to give birth normally, and he doesn't pay attention to things like the retreat of clans and subordinates.
In addition, Gongsun Gong himself had various contacts with Zhang Fei before, thinking that he had thighs to hug in the Han army, so he was indifferent to the demons hidden in Yingzhou...... No matter how magical the demon's flesh is, can it cure his incurable disease?
Gongsun Gong never had the ambition to restore the Liaodong Naval Division...... So Sima Yi, who wanted to pick up ready-made, was unlucky and got Liaodong, and he couldn't go to sea in the short term for various reasons.
Things are so ridiculous, now his father and son are like being bounced back on a steep mountain wall, and they are huddled in the corner with the Great Wei Baiguan and hold on...... No, it's more like a swarm of worms crammed into the scabbard, and when the sword pushes against the sheath, the flesh will inevitably turn to powder.
Serving the country generously?
Sima Shi didn't have this concept in his mind, Emperor Wu and Emperor Shenzong had already used the heads and lives of the bloody Han ministers and their families, relatives and friends to tell the officials of the Great Wei that being loyal ministers would have to pay a great price.
Therefore, before the knife is cut, you might as well think carefully about whether you want to be a loyal and unyielding martyr to serve the country.
Sima Shi pondered silently, and Sima Yi got out of the car to find the remains of Gongsun Gong, who had rotted and had been eaten by maggots and only had bones left.
Staring at the white bones with gray and black dirt accumulation in front of him, Sima Yi's too much anger was inexplicably gone at this moment.
The mood gradually recovered, and tended to calm down.
There is no resurrection from the dead.
The living and the living things should be managed, and we should not be too concerned about the past.
You can marry a new wife, you can even take a concubine, and you can have more children.
Looking at the white bones in the foul pile, Sima Yi came back to his senses, but he still had a gloomy look, as if he couldn't figure it out, and there was an arrogant and self-righteous ferocity between his eyebrows.
It's like a look that I'm not easy to mess with, and people can't help but retreat and dare not compete.
