Chapter 15 Via Jizhou (Part 1)
Chapter 15 Passing through Jizhou (Part 1) ()
Yan Bin and others walked north to cross the Yellow River and entered the territory of Jizhou. A few days later, they came to Julu County and were warmly received by the prefect of the county. At the reception banquet, Yan Bin remembered that Tian Feng seemed to be from Julu, so he asked the prefect: "Sir, I heard that there is a local sage named Tian Feng and Yuanhao. This person once served as an official in the court, and then resigned and returned to his hometown. Do you know where this person is now?"
The prefect of the county is a high-ranking official with a salary of 1,000 stone, which is several levels higher than Yan Bin's 600 stone Sanqiu General. However, he dare not have any disrespect in front of Yan Bin. Not to mention that Yan Bin is now an imperial envoy, even if he takes over Yan Bin's favor with Emperor Ling, he can't afford to offend Yan Bin with a large number of prefects like him. "Master Yan asked Tian Feng, he lives in this county. But this person is quite arrogant. I wanted to summon him as a different position in our county, but he ignored me."
Yan Bin smiled and asked Tian Feng's specific address. After he had sex with the county prefect and the guest and host.
The next day, Yan Bin took Zhou Yu, Wei Yan and Xu Huang to find Tian Feng's home. With Yan Bin's name, he was treated to Tian Feng's courtesy. Tian Feng was seven and a half feet tall, with a serious face and a shrewd look on his eyes. He entered the living room of Tian Mansion and sat down. Tian Feng asked Yan Bin curiously: "Master Yan is on patrol on behalf of the emperor and inspect the disaster. Why do you have time to come to the humble house?"
"Mr. Yuan Hao, I'm here to ask you to help me." Yan Bin said straight to the point.
Tian Feng smiled coldly: "Although Lord Yan is young, he is already an important member of the court and now he is responsible for the important tasks of the court. Can I, a mountain villager, come to help Lord Yan?"
"Your Majesty Yuan Hao is polite. I don't know about your great talent. You are not aware of this eunuch's government. Your Majesty is mediocre, so you resign in anger. Your Majesty's integrity is also admired by me. But this time I came not only to ask you for help from me, but also to help the people of the world, but also to ask you for help, your relatives and friends, and the villagers."
"Oh, what do you mean?" It was obvious that Tian Feng's interest was lifted up by Yan Bin.
Yan Bin calmly took a sip of the tea steamed in water and said slowly: "Duke Yuan Hao, the two years since the Jianning of the Han Dynasty, natural disasters have been constantly occurring for more than 10 years, and the ten regular attendants have controlled the government and made the people resentful. Under the dual effects of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have reached the brink of chaos in the world. I have seen Taiping Road bewitching people's hearts, and gathering refugees may soon cause riots. But the court is not alert to this. Just imagine, once
Taiping Road raised the flag to rebel. The border soldiers of the imperial court were far away from the border and could not return to defend in time, and in order to prevent the barbarians from the north, they could not return to defend. Although the Southern Army of Luoyang was elite, the Northern Army was only enough to defend the imperial capital. Can the county and state soldiers of each county be used to extinguish the beacons in various places? At that time, the imperial court would inevitably require local officials from all over the country to recruit soldiers to protect the local area and strangle the bandits. The riots may be quelled in a short time, but this is the beginning of the chaos in the world. Because once local officials have soldiers in their hands
The power will lead to a situation where the tail is too big. The whole world will inevitably reappear in the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although the civil war is miserable, it is not scary, the destructive power and large population losses caused by the endless civil war will create opportunities for the barbarians in the north. Although the Huns have been divided and declining, their foundation is still there. The Xianbei has been unified under the leadership of the king Tan Shihuai and has also swallowed up more than 100,000 tribes of the Northern Huns. Not only the Xianbei, but also the Huns, and Wuheng and Wu
Sun, Lingding, Fuyu, Qiang people, etc., these barbarians have always been eyeing the Han Dynasty. At that time, they will let the horses go south while we are fighting, and all the north of the Yellow River will be in their hands. Even if they enter the Central Plains, it is not impossible for them to enter the Central Plains. At that time, we all became slaves of the country. So I asked Yuan Haogong to come out to help me, and I was also helping the 60 million people of the Han Dynasty, and I was also helping Yuan Haogong himself and Yuan Haogong's relatives and friends, and fellow villagers in the village."
Tian Feng was sweating coldly after hearing Yan Bin's words. He had long noticed that Taipingdao would eventually cause trouble, but after listening to Yan Bin's analysis of the funeral, he inferred that it was something he had not expected. If the situation really develops as Yan Bin described, it would be terrible. "Mr. Yan, what is your ambition?"
"My ambition is divided into short-term and long-term. My ambition is to calm the chaotic situation as soon as possible and protect the people of one side as much as possible. The long-term ambitions are not yet mature, so let's not talk about them."
"If Lord Yan can realize his recent ambitions, what will he do specifically?"
"There are many specific things, and I can finish it in a short time. But in the final analysis, it is just four words: "Love the people as your son." Mencius said: "If a king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then the minister treats his king as his heart; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as a countryman; if a king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats his king as an enemy'. In fact, not only is the way of the king and the minister, but the relationship between the officials and the people is the same."
