Chapter 827: Willing to be a loyal minister, An Kede (2)
Compared with the crowds of people who responded enthusiastically or were extremely noisy on the street, there were also people sighing with sadness and helplessness in the wine shops along the street:
"The dignified imperial court pillar and the extremely noble Yuansu meritorious service have been humiliated in public by the common people!"
"It is said that the families of the ministers and ministers in Shangjing are also inseparable from difficulties. They are all those who are slutty and humble, and they are rampant and rampant!"
But there are also disagreements and refute:
"Didn't you hear that this is the water of a capsized boat, and it is also a reference for future generations? Should it be caused by the cycle of cause and effect?"
"Since those who have made the country's power and the people's livelihood are so corrupt, the one who must make the culprit should have no subordinates to shout? Some say, how can you finish the culprit when the nest is destroyed?"
And in another restaurant, I was inspired by another feeling:
"Since the Taiping thief has become the Southeast, the decency of scholars and students' articles has been getting worse and worse! Now they are becoming the first-class person with peddlers and pawns, and working together in the same class."
"This is a bad word. Nowadays, the common people and ordinary people also have books in their arms and cannot put them down. Isn't this the past saint's learning? What is it?"
"Do you think the Taiping Army does not value scholars, so don't you need to take the corresponding election exam?"
"How is this possible! This is our hope for revitalizing the family business! What's more, because of this, I should strive to be in it to make things clear and correct the situation!"
Once one of the fourteen Kuaiji families in Yuezhou City, Shen Wu, Zhou Xu from the Southern Dynasty, and Xiao Zhu Langjun from the eight major branches of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang, also listened to these discussions and sneered in his heart: "The so-called Confucian scholars are of no use, aren't they just talking about this generation?"
He is now an assistant to the Transportation Office of the Zhejiang West Branch of the Jiangdong Post-Survey Ambassador Yamen; although he is not a big deal from the perspective of job introduction, he is barely ranked in the middle of the eleventh-class official; but among the scholars and children of major families from Jiangdong, he is also considered a unique preferential treatment and honor.
You should know that as a scholar and a literati of Jiangdong of the same year, he still has to honestly follow the Taiping Army's rules to practice new learning and prepare for the exam; even if he passes the exam by chance, he may not be able to directly be awarded an official position. Instead, he must follow the principle of local avoidance and start from the bottom of the official affairs at another place.
The root of all this is because he gave up all his previous plans and plans at the critical moment of the night banquet without hesitation and stabbed the woman he had once been moved and admired; turning the story of revenge of the woman who was originally compared to Zhao E of the Han Dynasty into a futile joke.
This decision not only allowed him to escape from the subsequent series of assassinations, but also became the lucky one and the weather vane of the Taiping Army's "master of gold" horse bones. And among some of the fourteen families who survived Kuaiji, he also became a savior for preserving the family and the world's industry in a sense.
At least in the current Jiangdong Third Route, anyone with a discerning eye can see that. The old court no longer had the possibility of returning. Apart from a few thieves and bandits and riots who were wandering around, almost no one in the local area could resist and shake the ruling order built by the Taiping Army, and the many "new policies" (harsh punishments and laws) that were forced to be implemented.
Then the representatives of the local people can only be humble and respectful, and try to change themselves to adapt to this new situation and unprecedented changes. Even if they try their best to please them in the pursuit of existence and change, and on the basis of protecting their family and surnames, they will also become part of the powerful forces represented by the other party. This is even more wonderful
Therefore, he still remembers the Chunchun reminder of his predecessor's grandfather alone in the ancestral hall:
"You can just listen to the people of the Zong family, and don't worry about it too much! If the Taiping Army hadn't forced these Zong surnames too much, how could there be any chance of serving the affairs of these branches?"
"At the end of the day, a man's husband should always put his career first. The more stable your fame and future you have in the governor's office, the more consolidated your foundation; even if you lose for a moment, you will have a chance to recover."
"But if you have too much trouble to your future because of your family's interests, it's really a foolish thing to lose your original intention. Don't say that you're afraid that the Zong family will abandon it, and the family will not spare you even if you don't want to give it up."
"If you talk about a thousand words, even if your family always follows the leader of the Zong family, how can the reputation and circumstances of merchants from generation to generation be comparable to the open-minded career you have taken?"
Thinking of this, he listened to the shouts outside, looked at the prison cart that was almost filled with various dirt when he walked away, and couldn't help but drink a few drinks; as for the face of the woman who appeared in his life as an interlude, it became increasingly blurred.
In Jiangling Prefecture, hundreds of miles upstream, it is adjacent to the library building complex of the Great Learning Institute, as well as printing workshops, book shops, stationery shops, calligraphy and painting shops that occupy an entire street; it is specially designed for high-level prisoners of the Taiping Army to transform and exert the remaining heat in the Dachangming Temple.
With the sound of the evening drum, the evening meal was once again ushered in the scene of evening meals. People wearing special striped cloth shirts in groups of three or three began to gather in the dining hall where the aroma of food was gradually spreading, and began to receive their own portion of food with the card.
Although most of them were defeated generals or were once prisoners of Fangzhen; in addition to the work quota that must be completed on a daily basis, the governor's office provided corresponding treatment levels in terms of food and accommodation.
Compared with the standard of ordinary teachers in the big lectures; in addition to the soup, rice, porridge and cakes that always have leftover chards; seasonal melons, vegetables, chickens and fish, and long-storage air-dried cured flavors can appear alternately from time to time.
However, when Gao Yue, the current governor of Chuzhou (defense envoy), walked in with his food utensils in a hurry and absent-mindedly, the small dining hall was already full of most people's heads, and they were whispering in a low voice.
He was unscrupulous and had no time to pay attention to anything, so he stood at the end of the team. With his wooden sign "Bingzi No. 18", he scooped a large spoonful of wheat rice, poured it with green oil and a lot of water shield soup with ginger. Then he was about to walk to another red duck block when a few sighs suddenly penetrated his ears.
"I heard that Gao Bohai has been found and is being escorted to Jiangling?"
"The Gao clan in Yangzhou City is almost immune to anything, and it is all for harm."
"So, is this famous Bohai Gaojingzhaofang going to be cut off except for this old man?"
Gao Yue, who heard these words by chance, couldn't help but shake his hand. The already prepared wheat rice and water shield soup were all scattered on the ground in an instant. Then it caused a stern reprimand for the military academy that was present:
"Bingzi 18, what are you doing? Don't waste food!"
Then, Gao Yue was full of confusion for a moment, but he was mentally scolded and the subsequent punishment methods. Instead, he was a little confused and asked in a daze to the person in front of the case who was talking to him:
"You...you... are you saying it true?"
"What do you do? Everything is the routine list of the governor's office is high and the text is copied."
The person who spoke was a little rude, but he was the son of Liu Jurong, the former Shandong Jiedushi, and the stout yamen military commander Liu Fen. However, he saw Gao Yue suddenly turned his head and ran out, and then the soldiers outside the door were twisted and pressed to the ground, and his voice was so shrill that he shouted:
"I want to see the supervision, I want to regret it, I still have important internal information reports..."
Gao Yue, who was crying in tears at this moment, was full of despair and grief; now he has become a real lonely man, and it is also the last blood inheritance of the Gao family who had already moved to the Jingzhao, Yangzhou.
So he could only save himself and redeem himself before the captured Shuweng (Gao Pian) was sent over, and he completely lost the last little value. All this was for the continued passage of Gao's bloodline.
At this moment, no matter whether it is national justice or fame or wealth, it is not as good as a paranoid thought in his heart; that is, the family of the Gao family in the Bohai Gao family must not be cut off from his hands, even if he let go of all moral integrity for this, he will be willing to do so.
However, compared with the small episodes and noises caused by the news of Gao Pian being captured in the Dachangming Temple, in the Daxing Temple, someone was discussing eagerly and relishingly in the Daxing Institute, another thing from the latest announcements and public documents:
"This is really a thing of the past! The Governor's Office has become a department specializing in the disability, the dismissal, resettlement of retired soldiers and the resignation of all matters after their deaths."
"Since ancient times, there has never been any court focusing on these old soldiers who have disarmed and disabled armor and have been in charge of the government. It is said that they are still the ones who report and hear the Grand Chief Executive Office directly! Isn't it unprecedented good governance and virtue?"
"Do you know who the candidate is responsible for this? That is the second person in the army in Liusi in Guangzhou (Wang Pan)! It is said that this person is about to set off for Jiangling soon!"
"The Grand Governor is so nostalgic and loving of this old man. Not only did he grant the supervisory army a responsibilities for stroke discipline, but he also handed over all the beautiful and fat people who could obviously sell good people's hearts to him."
"Not it? Isn't this department of retirement affairs mastered it in disguise? Now that I am in service and retired, the treatment and tendency of at least 200,000 soldiers who have been sent back are treated and tended to do everything. I am a hot and powerful yamen at the beginning.
