Chapter 26: Up and Down Harmony 2

Liu An, a deputy thousand households, started as the "wrestler" at the bottom of Jinyiwei and climbed up step by step. Although the current official is not big, he has survived after all. However, although he is like this, his heart is different from the colleagues around him. Most people still like to be comfortable and smooth. Every day, they go shopping first. When they have nothing to do, they drink tea and chat in the government office. Every time they are paid, they take their pockets to get rice and silver. When they have something to do it, they do it. Generally, they are quick to arrest thieves. The big thieves are those "high" strong people, and there are also six doors. If mountain thieves gather in chaos, this is the business of the army. Anyway, they can intervene in any matter, so this means that they don't need to take care of anything. The Pingzhang of the Qianhu Courtyard here is also because of its nature, and it has been here for a long time. It also relies on the virtue and integrity of His Royal Highness King Ning. It has been stable under its governance. There are no major events. The Pingzhang of the courtyard is at ease. Naturally, it does not want to be rampant, so it governs its subordinates in a "lenient" way. It has been a long time, but there are advantages and disadvantages. . The subordinates were lazy. They should have come to the government office at the time of Mao. Some of them would not appear until an hour in the evening, and some would not appear until after lunch. It was originally stipulated that they would leave from time, and many of their subordinates disappeared after lunch. If you really say that you leave without permission, it doesn't count. The real important thing is that there is someone who has been dealing with it, so nothing has happened in so many years. However, because Yuan Pingzhang is too "lenient", he also has a high reputation below. With him here, such as the mutual strife and intrigues in other brocade guards, it is rare here. Therefore, it is not a characteristic "management method".

Yuan Pingzhang is naturally a person who likes elegance. At this moment, his study is full of all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings. On the right side of the mahogany bookcase, there are two five rows and five-story tall ancient shelves, dark red wood paint, and carved with complicated patterns. Cao Muwen does not understand the difference between woodware. He claimed to be a timber merchant, but he didn't expect that he actually had "seven or six tricks" about it. It's really ironic.

There are many porcelain antiques on the Bogu shelf, ranging from exquisite carvings and wood carving Buddha statues. Cao Muwen found that there are many Buddhist sculptures on them, large and small. There are more than a total of more than ten pieces, each of which is very exquisite, from Buddha and Maitreya Buddha to Luohan and auspicious beasts in various postures are magnificent.

There are also calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. In addition, there are Buddhist figure paintings. This is the first time Cao Muwen has seen such a fine brush painting.

"Since you are here, let's walk here. I still have something to do. Lord Qianhu, I won't bother you anymore." Liu An said to Pingzhang.

"Oh, what a thousand households, just call me a taboo. Didn't I say that many times? Don't be so restrained. Hey, Lao Liu, you are really like this. You are usually meticulous. You have been here for many years, and you have always been so rigid?" Yuan Pingzhang seems to be "blaming" Liu An for being too restrained. Liu An smiled slightly, "Then I'll leave first."

"Adults of a Thousand Households, slow down." Cao Muwen held a fist.

I didn't know when this was the time. This meticulous deputy Qianhu adult smiled and said to Cao Muwen, "My surname is Liu Ming'an. Although I am a deputy Qianhu, since the Qianhu lord has an order, just call me Lao Liu." After saying that, he nodded and left.

Cao Muwen was slightly stunned. Hey! This man is really interesting."

"Hey, don't look outside. Lao Liu's personality is also like this. He can't change this habit for so many years. Even if his subordinates are used to him, he can still call him equally with the people below, that is, he is still a 'adult' to me. How can I tell him that after a few days of change , as usual again." Yuan Pingzhang "sighed", and Cao Muwen didn't think it was any distress.

"That's right, it's time to explain your duties. I just gossiped." It seems that the business has only begun now. You've been a little bored for so many days. Yuan Pingzhang said this to Cao Muwen, looking for something from the pile of copywriters next to the book, and said, "This is also the rule. Thousands of households have to personally explain the duties of all the positions of hundreds of households, but... We still have differences here, and you should also know." Yuan Pingzhang paused and said.

Cao Muwen thought slightly and said, "It should be because Nanchang is also the land of the vassal king."

"Oh, you know, that's good. In fact, it is not a big deal. His Royal Highness King Ning has been deeply favored by the emperor. A few years ago, the emperor also gave an edict to restore the three guards who originally abolished the vassal kings during the reign of Chengzu. Now he is the first among many vassal kings in the world and deeply favored by the emperor. Even so, His Royal Highness King Ning is also benevolent, loyal to himself, and worship Shoufan Town, so we are also safe in Jiangxi. Yuan Pingzhang said this to Cao Muwen. The latter heard it in his heart, but it was very funny. Although he has some fouled from the "God's perspective", according to his memory, it should have been a few years since the rebellion of King Ning. Why is this Lord Pingzhangyuan so confused? Is it possible that he really likes to read elegant things and read too many "sages" books and has become a veritable nerd? But in the days when he came to Nanchang, Cao Muwen has found that the king of Ning really has to have a heart to be unbehaved, and there is nothing to say elsewhere. Nanchang City - the land of Ning is a vassal, more or less. At least he has to start a rebellion. It is impossible not to prepare early. It is impossible to talk about rebellion. , it can pull up a team of more than 100,000 people. However, that's why Cao Muwen knew that Pingzhang had just talked about King Ning, and he found that King Ning did not seem to have a "existential existence" in Nanchang. In Nanchang these days, not to mention that I have never met the people in the palace of King Ning, and I have also gone out to hang out several times. Not only that, even the daily conversations among the street people have not heard a few words about the King Ning. Remember to chat with Wang Shouren all the way, with his official position, without mentioning at all The words related to King Ning really made Cao Muwen very strange. It seems that King Ning is not here at all, but now I have heard Yuan Pingzhang say that King Ning's is indeed in Nanchang City. What's going on?

Cao Muwen thought of this, his face was slightly distracted, let Yuan Pingzhang see it in his eyes, and asked, "If there is any problem, it's okay to say it. There is no need to be restrained." Since he said this, it doesn't matter if Cao Muwen said it. He said, "Do you know everything without saying anything!"

"This, my lord. I have been in Nanchang for some time, but I haven't heard anything about King Ning from the daily words of the people, and I haven't even seen anyone in Ning's Palace. This..."

"Oh! So that's it, that's it, hahaha. OK, OK!" Yuan Pingzhang was happy when he heard it, but Cao Muwen was puzzled.

"Mu Wen, you are young and have had such an experience. It's really a young talent. I'm really gratified that our Jinyiwei will definitely serve the emperor better in the future." Yuan Pingzhang added, "That's it. That's why King Ning is in the name of virtue and his own duties of the vassal town, so he naturally can't have too much contact with ordinary people casually."

After saying this, Cao Muwen suddenly realized, "Yes, how did I forget?" At this time, Cao Muwen remembered that when he was in Taiyuan, it was once the place of Zhu Wei, the king of Jin. Although he moved it internally after becoming an ancestor, Wu Zheng once mentioned that the kings of all dynasties had to abide by their own "way of vassal towns". The so-called "way of vassal towns" is to abide by the etiquette of kings and ministers, although everyone is The descendants of the old Zhu family are a family, but before the "family", there is the highest difference between monarchs and ministers. The emperor is afraid that his family will rebel, because this is a "fire in the backyard". Compared with them, the Tatar Mongols in the north are not enough to gather. After all, they have been here once and "open twice" again. The ability is not high. Therefore, the old Zhu family is most afraid of the old Zhu family. Naturally, the "trick" that Chengzu has played once does not want his relatives to learn to play, which is really unbearable. Among the ways of kings and ministers, the relationship between "juns and ministers" within the royal family is the most**. The princes are well-bred and don't care about the world. Naturally, the emperor is delicious, drinkable and entertaining. You are honest as an otaku in your mansion. As long as you don't privately hook up with the feudal officials outside, you can naturally be a long-term living immortal.

I remember that there are three kings in Jiangxi, King Ning in Nanchang, King Huai in Raozhou Prefecture and King Yiwang in Jianchang Prefecture. These three royal branches spread and have a large population. The daily luxury expenses are huge, which has a great impact on the local economic life of Jiangxi. After the rebellion of King Ning, Although the two branches of the Huaiwang Mansion did not participate in the rebellion, they were also in a wait-and-see state. Not long after the rebellion subsided, the two vassal towns were also abolished under various excuses. Hundreds of people of the two clans gave some "severance pay" to expel the old Zhu family, leaving them cool.

Cao Muwen thought so, is it possible that there is also a mistake in history books, but the gathering at this time is not long. In history, hundreds of years can be easily confirmed the authenticity. Moreover, the historical materials at that time were so detailed that it is impossible to make mistakes, but now, with the performance of King Ning, it is really a "model" with due diligence. "King of Fan". If there is a sudden rebellion, it is really unbelievable that even if Cao Muwen kills Pingzhang, he can't tell Yuan Pingzhang the "King of Ning Rebellion" at this time. Therefore, it is better to be silent. As the saying goes, "silence is gold", and the unfounded slander of the vassal king's rebellion, but the great crime of killing the head, the king of heaven can't save you.

Cao Muwen clears his throat, let's ignore this for the time being.
