"Xie thief is heavily guarded. If we want to do it, we have only one chance."
The speaker's name is Peiheng. He has no hatred with Xie AI, but Zhang Jun once trusted his minister.
I don't know why, when people engage in conspiracy, they always habitually put themselves in a secret room or a dark place. They don't amplify their voice when talking. The scene is very gloomy. At any glance, they will feel that a bunch of guys are not good people.
In fact, it's still to hide your identity and don't want to be seen by too many people. The more closed the space is, the less likely the plot will leak. You can only avoid the secret room and stay in a dark place.
In Xiliang, Zhang did not do too much anger and resentment. In addition to being king behind closed doors, he accepted the reward of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and also acted against the Hu people and sheltered the people under the rule. In fact, the wind comments were mostly positive.
A ruling class that does not do things that make people angry and resentful can not resent at all, and even many people will be grateful. Some people will seek a new way out after the collapse of the ruling class, but it is inevitable that some people are grateful for their kindness and want revenge or loyalty.
Pei Heng belongs to the group that wants to be loyal. He was defeated and fled in the process of the destruction of Zhang's Liang state. He has been hiding and has not been arrested by the Han state. For two years, he has been contacting some people who think they also miss Zhang's kindness. During this period, he encountered betrayal and repeated dangers.
They have a clear goal. They still respect Zhang's leadership and want to accumulate strength to save the trapped Zhang's family. Of course, the person who wants to save the most is Zhang Chonghua, the last cool king of Zhang's cool country, who has always felt that their strength accumulation is not enough and did not take action.
The state of Han helped them a lot in some ways. After the destruction of the Liang state of Zhang, too many aristocratic families and rich families were successively destroyed, the land was redeemed by the state of Han, and the slaves were forcibly dissolved. Naturally, more people were dissatisfied with the state of Han, so that they could attract more people to their revenge group.
It should be said that although the Han state was overbearing in some aspects of land redemption, the price should be fair, but the people who were executed would not accept it. What they wanted was land, and money was often not more important than land. Moreover, the reason why aristocratic families and haos are aristocratic families and haos is that they have a lot of land and slaves. Once they lose land and slaves, no amount of money can only be regarded as lambs to be slaughtered. They really have no sense of security.
No matter how much money is to be slaughtered, the lamb is the pot of the first Han Dynasty. Before the first Han Dynasty, money was still quite easy to use. However, since Liu Che slaughtered fat sheep again and again, money has become an original sin. As a result, no one dares to have too much spare money. If he has a little spare money, he wants to buy real estate.
"God gave us a good opportunity. In the year of natural disaster, people everywhere were unstable, but the enemy country did not release food for disaster relief."
The speaker is Zhang Dan. He is the person Zhang Chonghua really trusts. In history, he did his best to assist Zhang Chonghua and recommended Xie AI, which made Xie AI a stage to give full play to his talents in Zhang's cool state. However, in this historical version, he knows Xie AI, but he has never been in contact with him.
They are confident in doing things because Zhang has won the support of the people in the northwest. Although too many people know how to judge the situation, some people are still willing to resist. The foundation of the masses has been established, and a group of rich aristocratic families and rich families are the basis for their possible success. If they seize the opportunity, they may succeed in restoring the country, which is too difficult.
Liu Yan sent Xie AI to the northwest. Xie AI naturally came to solve the natural disaster. They wanted to kill Xie AI for that purpose. Killing Xie AI would inevitably interrupt the response of the Han state to the natural disaster. Once the Han state did not take any effective measures in the face of the natural disaster, it would further alienate the people in the northwest, and their hope for national recovery would be greater.
"It has been found out that Xie thieves will go to the countryside today. The yuan family will not personally participate, but will create an opportunity for us to attack and kill Xie thieves."
"The yuan family is stupid! If Xie thieves are attacked and killed, they will be punished even if they don't participate. It's better to participate immediately."
"Don't trust the yuan family too much."
"The eldest son of the yuan family is in our hands..."
"Under the crisis of exterminating the family, don't say that a legitimate eldest son is the life of the master of the family."
They can only move in the dark. Because too many aristocratic families and Haozu are dissatisfied with the state of Han, there is actually a lot of room for activities, but they can't see the light.
In terms of manpower, they have brave generals, brave heroes who dare to work hard, and people who give advice. This is also the standard "configuration" of the remaining evils of all dynasties, unlike some people who have that heart but do not have that capital. Therefore, in some ways, it may be difficult for such groups to succeed, but it is really difficult for the authorities to eliminate them.
"Always monitor the yuan family. If it's impossible, I'd rather give up." Seeing that everyone looked over, Zhang Dan smiled and said, "Xie thief is only a member of the enemy country, but we are the hope of recovering the country. We can't lose it."
Pei Heng doesn't think so in his heart. He can't cherish his life when doing great things. Since he cherishes his life, he can't want to do great things. But he didn't say much. In some aspects, the group was led by Zhang Dan. The reason is quite simple. Zhang Dan is Zhang Chonghua's favorite minister, and Zhang Dan is indeed very wise.
There was another discussion. When it was time to leave, some wanted people could not leave. They had no desire to chat in the secret room.
"The Great Han has swept through the Hu prisoners and restored the Xia Dynasty. It's not difficult to think about it. Judging from the domestic and foreign situation, it's difficult to have an enemy to compete with the Great Han." Zhang Dan said to Peiheng, "Xie AI should have received the wind."
Just now, we have been talking about enemy countries and thanking thieves one by one, but people who really want to achieve great things will never despise their opponents, or even respect them to the greatest extent. In front of his command, he will use some insulting titles to the greatest extent, but there is really no need in front of all understanding people.
"The yuan family is not credible at first, and then..." Pei Heng paused and said with a bitter smile: "as Sima said, the big man has shown the momentum of the sun. We hope to succeed, but it is difficult to estimate that all people are like this."
Zhang Dan stood up with his head nodded and said, "move."
Pei Heng stood up without saying anything.
Naturally, a group of people will not walk around the street in a dazzle. In order not to attract attention and will not take any gorgeous carriage, they will disperse and transfer after camouflage and meet again in a new hiding place.
On the other side, Xie AI is receiving guests, but when the guest arrives, he "pops" down on his knees and says everything he knows.
"Zhang Dan and Pei Heng?"
The guest Xie AI received was yuan Kuai, the owner of the yuan family. He was not surprised to know that someone wanted to kill himself.
Successful people, the process of success must be against one opponent after another. There must be countless people whose interests have been damaged. It is impossible to be friends with everyone in the world.
As soon as Yuan finished, he buried his head and knelt on the ground. He didn't dare to move. His family also has land to be redeemed. It is absolutely false to say that his heart is willing, but he has no resentment. He can't see the situation clearly, so he won't push the whole family to the guillotine because of his hatred.
Before receiving yuan Kuai, Xie AI actually received several letters of alarm. Some letters were not signed, but some were signed. Looking at the list, none of them were ordinary people, not former officials of Zhang Liangguo, or people from aristocratic families and noble families. Even if yuan Kuai didn't come, he didn't know anything about being attacked and killed.
"I heard that the imperial envoy doctor plotted to attack and assassinate more than a hundred times during his southern tour?" Li Kuang was talking about sang Yu's patrol in the south, but since sang Yu returned to the center well, he was in danger. He glanced at Yuan Kuai, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Xie AI, "there are always people in the way of Mantis. I don't know whether to say they are stupid or stupid."
Ignorance and stupidity are derogatory words, but they still have different meanings. Stupidity is to do it without knowing the truth. Stupidity is to do it after knowing the facts. The end of doing it is usually the same bad.
In a newly established country, officials are assassinated or attacked more frequently. There are too many people who are not willing to lose their original status and too many people whose interests are damaged. They have no chance to kill the rulers of the new dynasty. When they have the opportunity, they want to kill the eagle dog claws and teeth of the rulers.
It is not safe for a new imperial court to become a local official. It is normal for officials to be killed in three or two days. As a result, a country that has just started a new imperial court will lack people willing to be an official.
Liu Yan personally inspected the territory twice in order to eliminate local dissatisfaction to the greatest extent with the help of the system, and he did eliminate a lot of dissatisfaction. It is precisely because he has a system that can distinguish between the enemy and ourselves. He has not been assassinated even once. He is the first to start when the assassin is brewing.
"During his four years in the south, marquis Xinping killed countless people who did not obey the rules. Only then can the south be as stable as a rock." Of course, what Li Kuang said was Huanwen's great killing in the south. No one dared to fight with the state and the South was tamed. He smiled and then continued, "the northwest is a little more complicated than the south. There are many people who miss Zhang. Does brother Xie have a strategy in mind?"
Xie AI frowned deeply. When he was in the center, he already knew that the northwest people still miss Zhang, especially Zhang Jun. it is precisely in this way that the center took less care of the northwest when formulating relevant policies.
This time, Liu Yan didn't name the name. He himself would take the initiative to ask for orders. He didn't think he would make the northwest people no longer miss or thank Zhang, but at least it was to eliminate the northwest people's hostility to the Han country. Otherwise, the northwest people would only be the northwest people themselves who had no sense of belonging to the Han country for a long time.
"Natural disasters are both disasters and opportunities." Xie AI smiled bitterly: "the big man is short of food. Naturally, he can't give free relief in the northwest. Otherwise, he can receive the gratitude of the northwest people."
However, Li Kuang said, "since ancient times, there has never been a large-scale release of grain for disaster relief. This case can not be opened by a big man."
It's actually strange! In ancient times, the people from the pre Qin to the pre Han Dynasties did their duty as a member of the state by serving corvee and paying various taxes, but the government really wouldn't take out food for free relief when the people suffered natural disasters.
It would not be surprising to know the obligations and responsibilities of the people at that time. Let alone the equality between the obligations of the people and the responsibilities of the state, the Treasury reserves of the ancient pre Qin and pre Han Dynasties were only used to support the war and the national salary system. When the people suffered natural disasters, opening up mountains and rivers was the greatest kindness. Not only the government took this as a matter of course, Even the people think it is.
Since when did the government have to open its warehouse for disaster relief in case of natural disasters? It was after Yang Jian established the "granary".
Yang Sui collected quite a variety of taxes from the people, one of which was to collect a certain amount of grain reserves to the "granary", indicating that the grain was kept by the government, but actually it still belonged to the people, waiting for natural disasters to be used by the people.
It is not clear whether the grain of the "granary" will be misappropriated or embezzled, but it is precisely because of the existence of the "granary" during Yang Jian's rule that every place can get relief in time in a disaster year, and the "granary" has indeed played its due role. However, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the role of "Yicang" collapsed, but "Yicang" was inherited by the subsequent dynasties just like the three provinces and six departments system and the imperial examination system established by Yang Sui.
People will constantly change their ideas because of their different origins and positions. Xie AI is now able to do something for the northwest people. He doesn't want the northwest to deal with natural disasters and bleed artificially. But as a senior official of the Han state, he knew that not killing people... At least not destroying those who refused to obey, was not conducive to the rule of the Han state over the northwest.
"AI will go to the countryside as scheduled." Xie AI said to Li Kuang, "please cooperate with chengjiduojia during the introduction."
"That's nature." Li Kuang accepted it first. He also knew that Xie AI didn't want to kill too many people, but many times they didn't control how many people they killed. If they couldn't bear it, there were too many people looking for death. He thought for a while and suggested, "Mingda has old relatives and friends to invest in it, or you can participate in it."
Even if Li Kuang doesn't say it, Xie AI will let those respectable relatives and friends participate in it.
If bad things are destined to happen, if you really want wisdom, some good things should happen among bad things. Xie AI makes those old relatives and friends establish some credit, which is undoubtedly the greatest good thing. He was very grateful for Li Kuang's understanding. He didn't say thanks and gratitude, but he wrote it down in his heart.
Yuan Kuai is still kneeling on the ground. I don't know when he has looked up at Xie AI.
"You have done great service in telling the secret." Xie AI didn't have a good face for yuan Kuai, but he didn't mean to be cruel. He said blandly, "if you want to make more contributions, can you have enough courage?"
Yuan quickly came to report because he didn't want the whole family to suffer. He could have another future on the premise of ensuring safety. Let alone forgetting his hatred for the Han country. After getting benefits, no one forced him to be a big loyal minister of the Han country. He immediately nodded fiercely.
