v6 Chapter 1： Fu Shen, I do n’t know how to see Wang An on the north (on)

The summer is about to end, and the cool autumn wind is beating against the mountains in the north. The blue mountain forest is dotted with some yellow leaves. When the farmer rests, he looks at the fruitful crops. How can he not hide his satisfied smile in his eyes? Have begun to look forward to the beautiful scene of the food warehouse.

Smoke and dust splattered on the official road leading to Qingzhou City. A team of more than 20 riders was rushing to hurry. Several officials in front of the team were wearing green and green civilian robes with copper fish bands hanging around their waists. They were the first two officials. He was wearing a scarlet official robe and a silverfish bag.

The farmer in the cropland next to the official road heard the movements and looked up. After seeing the team, he waited for a while, with a look of envy and awe on his face. But he wasn't surprised, and he quickly looked back.

A little experienced farmer can already roughly distinguish the grades of these officials. The green and green official robes will not exceed six grades. If the governing party is dead, it is a county prefecture, and the scarlet official robes are Four or five high-ranking officials, said less is also a high official in the state.

These days, I often see such a team, rushing from the official road to Qingzhou City, farmers have become accustomed to it. Recently, there was a major incident in Pinglu, and the people who were slightly informed could find out one or two. It was said that King An was going to use the army to fight against Zhu Wen and mobilized more than one million soldiers from all sides. This is really amazing.

Such a large-scale military operation will affect the whole body immediately. The states and counties will inevitably cooperate closely with each other to transfer animal husbandry to the front line. It is rumored that while taking the opportunity to arrange tasks for the prefectures and counties, King An convened some key officials from the prefectures and counties to meet in Qingzhou, and to personally reward them for their hard work.

The morale comes first for the army. Not only are the generals of the three armed forces fighting to kill the enemy, but the civilians behind must also actively prepare for war. Without morale, how can they fight for 12 points to secure the supply of materials? That needs to work overtime or even around the clock.

To stimulate morale is nothing more than reward and punishment. At this time, King An personally met and praised the county officials. Although it was a little hasty, it was a proper and necessary move.

The autumn wind was refreshing, but the sun was still hot. A thick-eyed young official in the team was sweating. He heard the discussion and conversation of farmers at the roadside, turned his head and looked at each other, his eyes were abnormally thick. The color of worry.

His name was Zhang Wence, and his character was Kun Xing. At the age of thirty-two, he was the Weixian Weixian County Magistrate under Weibo Jiedushi.

Weizhou is not Weibozhi, Weizhou is not in Weixian but in Jixian, but Weixian is a serious county. Unlike ordinary county magistrates who worship Qipin, Zhang Wence is an official rank of Zhenglipin. .

The reason why Weixian is densely populated is because the local is rich, and Weixian is rich only for one reason: it is located by the canal, and the western end of the Yongji Canal communicates with the Yellow River in Weixian.

However, success is also rich and wealthy, and the wealthy Wei County has made Zhang Wence's status extraordinary, but also brought him many hidden dangers, and now he is facing unprecedented disasters.

Only then did he look at the people beside the road because he was worried because of their words.

"An Wang called local officials to Qingzhou City, not just to reward us ... rewards and punishments, rewards and punishments can inspire morale and control people, but I am destined to be the one to be punished." Zhang Wence thought Here, can not help but look sad.

Zhang Wence is a serious young official who is able to worship Liupin and govern the county, proving that his administration is not bad. In fact, he has managed Weixian very well. Since he took office, he has been diligent in political affairs. He can almost be said to be exhausted. Therefore, although it is less than half a year, the people in the county have already praised his good name.

However, for any official, getting things right is not the most important factor in gaining political achievements and getting promoted. Although Zhang Wence is still young, he has been in the industry for many years. It is very clear that only the superiors think you are good and you have a future. You are really good and you have a future.

He could be a Weixian county magistrate at the age of thirty-two, which shows that he did not do badly before, and he had a good relationship with his superiors.

Although Zhang Wence came from Confucianism, he is not only a pedantic scholar who only knows the morals of benevolence, but does not know the alternatives. The pedantic scholar is difficult to establish a foothold in the world, let alone a troubled world.

Zhang Wence's standard of doing things always is to be a good parent and take care of his own future. Serving as an official for the benefit of one side is the minimum moral adherence of Confucian students and Zhang Wence's bottom line for officials. He cannot be the master of the people, and his official robe is not worn properly.

Similarly, on this basis, he abides by the official rules, the gifts that should be collected, the gifts that should be given, and the flattery superiors are absolutely unambiguous. Although he sometimes feels sick and uncomfortable, he can bear it.

There are times when I can't help it. After all, some senior officials' faces are sometimes even more smelly than feces, and pretending to be a grandson is not something anyone can do.

Before his father was dying, he took his hand and asked him, "Is it easy to be alone, or is it easy to save the world?"

He replied, "It's easy to be alone."

His father asked why.

Zhang Wence replied, "To be alone, you only need to settle down in the study, but you have to work hard to help the world."

"No, you are wrong." His father shook his head.

The old man solemnly told him at the time of dying: "It is not difficult to shout righteousness and morality on the lips. It is easy to spit on the face of the official who sprays nonsense. It is not difficult to draw a line with the villain villain or even write an article and scold them, at best. It is nothing more than power and homelessness. In many cases, it can also gain a good reputation, be respected by the villagers, and even be listed on the Confucian Sages and Jun Yan, and praised by posterity. "

"The real difficulty is to bury the ideals of justice and morality in the stomach, to smile at the officials who are embarrassed, and to greet them, and to sit with the villains and walk with them and praise them as brothers and sisters. The hardest part is, in this case You can also stick to the aspirations of the scholars of Confucianism, solve the difficulties of the people, save the sufferings of the people, bring benefits to the people, let them live and work in peace, know the etiquette, and repay the grace of the king! "

Zhang Wence was speechless for a long time.

The old man's skinny hands clutched Zhang Wence tightly and looked at Fang Liang with a sigh, "How easy is it to be a clear stream of good reputation, to be safe and easy, and to be an official who can benefit a party is not difficult! It is not a matter of being able to live where you are." It ’s true that this heart can bear the hardships! "

"Kun Xing, you have read so many sage books and learned so many government policies. If you do n’t go to be able officials, what do the people do? My scholars, merit, merit, and merit, merit always ranks first. . Gong is in the community and benefits the people, so I am not a scholar! "

After the old man said these words, he never opened his eyes again.

Before dying, he grasped Zhang Wence's hand vigorously.

...

Zhang Wence always remembered his father's teachings, and he dared not relax.

He was in Erhai Lake, and he was always looking for the balance between being an official and doing things, for the up and down. In the previous years, he has been holding this balance.

However, the balance is always broken.

Many times the balance point simply does not exist.

Zhang Wence thought that he could always stand in the gray, but when he entered the official world, it was like the sea, especially when he was in troubled times. When he wanted to keep his color, he found that the road ahead was black and white.

Everything happened during this half year.

Weixian is not only a place of prosperity, but also a place of crisis.

The danger comes from the other side of the Yellow River.

Across the river from Wei County is the seat of Zhizhou, the governor of the Yicheng Army, which is the governor of the state. The county seat of Weixian is very close to Huazhou, only dozens of miles away.

The Huancheng Yicheng Army Jiedushi is adjacent to the Luzhou Xuanwu Army Jiedushi. Since Zhu Wen took office, the Yicheng Army Jiedushi has been attracted by Zhu Wen through various means and has become the other party's solid wings. Ping Lu Army sent troops to the middle of Hedong, Xuanwu Army had joined the Yicheng Army Chen Bing by the Yellow River, intending to cross Hebei.

In those days, Weixian County was shrouded in the dark clouds of war. Every day many local squires and ordinary people came to the county to ask for information. Everyone knows that once the two armies of Xuanwu and Yicheng cross the river, Weixian will bear the brunt of it, and they will inevitably suffer from military disasters and lose their wealth.

During that time, Zhang Wence was very restless.

Later, because the Pinglu army's offensive was too smooth, Zhu Wen saw that Hedong had no time to take advantage of it, so he sent his troops to the east to attack Qingzhou. Weixian survived.

After learning that the two armies of Yicheng and Xuanwu were withdrawn, unlike the people who embraced and celebrated, Zhang Wence, who stood on the city's side and looked out over the Yellow River, had a lot of worries and couldn't be calm for a long time.

Yicheng and Xuanwu have withdrawn this time, but will they come again in the future?

Wei County is too close to Huazhou.

If the Yicheng Army sent Jingqi to cross the river, it would be able to rush under Wei County in one day.

After all, the Yicheng Army is a Fanzhen army. There are many monks in the training period. If they come to attack Weixian County, with Weixian ’s poor military strength, tiny monk strength, and low-lying city walls, they will not May be defensive.

The opponent only needs a wave of offensive, the Weixian defense line will be broken, and the reinforcements will not be able to come.

Will Yicheng Army come?

Zhang Wence frowned.

Zhu Wen is hostile to King An. Yicheng Army is the earliest fan town to rely on Zhu Wen, and Wei County is well known. Even if Yicheng Army will not attack Wei Bo easily, will they rob Wei County and kill people for money?

Zhang Wensui remained silent for a long time, and didn't go down until dark.

He made a decision.

He wants to protect the people in Wei County.

So he rectified his defense.

The disadvantage is that he would be an official before, he was valued by his superiors, and he did a lot of practical things. He was praised by the people, and he had great authority and prestige, so he did this smoothly.

In just one month, he recruited three thousand young and strong, while repairing the county town defense, digging trenches and building walls, constructing fortifications along the Yellow River, building early warning lines, and even organizing people in the village to respond to war. Necessary drill.

The result is spending money like running water.
