Shi Xie looked a little bitter.
Lu Xuan is young, but he is aggressive, especially when he strikes hard and stabs you directly in your weak spot.
The strongest advantage of the Shijia is that it has been deeply involved in Jiaozhou for more than two hundred years and has established a strong network and foundation. This is the reason why the Shijia has always stood firm. Coupled with the fact that Shi Xie had high prestige and ability, the Shi family was the local emperor in Jiaozhou due to the double reasons.
Once the Shi family moved to Yangzhou and Nanjing, even if they came to Yangzhou to serve as officials, without the connections and foundation of the Shi family in Jiaozhou, they would be just ordinary local officials and would not have any advantages.
The Shi family was indeed influential in Jiaozhou.
However, when people leave, the tea becomes cold.
If all the Shi family leave Jiaozhou, the personal connections established by the local Shi family will slowly dissipate, and they will start to support the new Jiaozhou governor, who is no longer a member of the Shi family.
Only when the Shi family was in charge of government in Jiaozhou could these personal connections be effective. If they were not in charge of local government, these personal connections would lose their value.
Shi Xie cursed a lot in his heart, but he did not dare to confront Lu Xuan and quickly expressed his position: "Return to King Wu, the Shi family will obey King Wu's arrangements and will never dare to have any disobedient thoughts."
Lu Xuan knocked and said: "Are you afraid to do it, or are you not? If you are afraid to do it, it means you are angry and unwilling in your heart. It is just because of the pressure from this king that you dare not do it."
thump!
Shi Xie knelt directly on the ground.
A trace of fear appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "King Wu, I have absolutely no dissatisfaction. This time I came to Nanjing with Mr. Bu Zhi, I really came to submit to the Kingdom of Wu and to the king. The heart of the old man's boxing can be compared to heaven and earth. Please take a closer look, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Shi Xie felt a little regretful.
He has never met Lu Xuan, but has only heard some things about Lu Xuan, so although Lu Xuan is powerful, he still wants to test it out.
Now, we have encountered an iron wall.
Lu Xuan nodded and said solemnly: "That's it, it's settled. All members of the Shi family will move to Nanjing County to serve."
"Your current official position is the governor of Jiaozhou. Your three brothers who are in Jiaozhou also serve as governors in the local area. I do not treat everyone harshly, and they are all transferred at the same level. Shi Xie, you stay in Nanjing's Ministry of Rites and serve as a minister."
"One of your three brothers will go to Bingzhou, one to Liangzhou, and one to Youzhou, all of them will serve as governors. The heirs of the Shi family will stay in Nanjing. As long as the people of the Shi family are talented, I will never treat them poorly. .”
Shi Xie secretly thought that Lu Xuan was ruthless.
His expression became more and more bitter. Logically speaking, the treatment given by Lu Xuan was not bad. He was serving as a local magistrate and was regarded as a high official in the border area.
However, they were all scattered.
One is in Bingzhou, one is in Youzhou, and one is in Liangzhou. They are all bitter and cold places. The most important point is that it is not easy to serve as a governor in these harsh and cold places, and it is difficult to achieve political achievements.
When brothers from the scholar family go to office, they are likely to stay in the local area for the rest of their lives.
When he was left in Nanjing, he was like a tiger in a cage, and he could no longer move around. The heirs of the scholar family were still in Nanjing, and they were even more manipulated.
The key is that such methods are somewhat acceptable to scholars. If Lu Xuan was not strong enough and offered such conditions, the Shi family would fall out in an instant because they would split up the Shi family.
Scholars would rather resist than give it a try.
When the disparity in power between the two sides was too great, the Shi family had no chance to resist. Lu Xuan also retained the official positions of Shi Xie's three younger brothers, thus collapsing the resistance within the Shi family.
What a ruthless method.
This is boiling a frog in warm water, and cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, making it impossible for the scholar family to gather strength to resist.
At this moment, Shi Xie felt slightly cold in his heart. He did not dare to have any thoughts anymore and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do as I am told. I will personally return to Jiaozhou to make arrangements and ensure that everything is safe."
"unnecessary!"
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and said: "When you came to Nanjing, you served as a minister in the Ministry of Rites. According to the arrangements of the Jiaozhou scholar's family, you wrote a letter and sent it back to the scholar's family, and arranged for the scholar's family to return and be transferred. Let them come to Nanjing County and prepare to report to the local government for employment."
Shi Xie's old expression became more and more depressed, and he said respectfully: "I obey."
Bu Zhao praised the great king's sage.
An old fox like Shi Xie finally came to Nanjing County and could not be let go.
Although it is impossible for Shi Xie to betray or become an enemy of the Wu State, if Shi Xie returns to Jiaozhou, he can calmly make arrangements in advance, which will change the local structure and cause trouble for his successors.
Leaving Shi Xie behind is the best arrangement.
Seeing that Shi Xie agreed, Lu Xuan ordered: "In that case, work hard in the Ministry of Rites. You, Shi Xie, studied under the great Confucian scholar, and I hope that you can make some political achievements in the Ministry of Rites."
"I obey!"
Shi Xie answered respectfully.
Lu Xuan immediately called his chamberlain and took Shi Xie to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, asking Zhang Zhao to arrange Shi Xie's next official position. After Shi Xie left, Lu Xuan looked at Bu Zhi with increasingly approving eyes.
Bu Zhao has ability and strategy.
Not only did he find staple foods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, he also contributed a lot to the surrender of Jiaozhou.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and said: "Zishan, you have completed the task of persuading Shi Xie. I am very pleased. You are worthy of being a scholar from the Five Classics Hall. You have never failed to live up to my expectations. I regard you as my proud."
Bu Zhao was even more moved.
After graduating from the Five Classics Hall, in order to attract attention and find a new way to gain recognition, he risked the disapproval of the world and suggested that Lu Xuan move the wealthy people south to enrich the mountainous areas in the south of Kuaiji and Yuzhang and develop the southern areas.
Because of this incident, he was hostile to countless people and was temporarily left alone.
He thought Lu Xuan had given up on him, but Lu Xuan gave him the opportunity to understand the situation in the south.
Then, the trip to Jiaozhou took place.
This is because Lu Xuan never gave up on him, and because Lu Xuan trusted him very much.
Bu Zhao's eyes were a little hot, and he said: "I rely on the trust and training of the king so that I can complete my mission. Without the support and training of the king, I would have been living on the streets long ago, and everyone would shout and beat me."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "Only if you are able to endure hardship, have the ability, and dare to do things can you complete the mission of Jiaozhou. You are familiar with the situation in Jiaozhou. If so, go to Nanhai County in Jiaozhou and serve as the governor."
"I obey!"
Bu Zhao became excited immediately after hearing this.
At present, Zhuge Liang is still the magistrate of Nanjing. Of course, Zhuge Liang's position as magistrate of Nanjing is very important and cannot be measured simply by his official position as county magistrate. In the future, Zhuge Liang will definitely have a prosperous official career.
Bu Zhi never thought about competing with Zhuge Liang. He just felt that as the governor of Nanhai County, he finally lived up to his status as the second-ranked scholar in the Five Classics Academy and finally got ahead.
He was the first person to serve as the prefect in the Five Classics Hall.
This is his chance.
Lu Xuan nodded and continued: "Sima Yi, the magistrate of Panyu County, the seat of Nanhai County, is capable, but he was exiled by me to serve. After you go, train Sima Yi well. He is capable, so use it. . However, he is unfaithful and needs a lot of beating."
