Cui Qing went out, and Wang Xiaolie sat alone in the study, thinking about something.
Cao Zhiyan occupied Shizhou, and Fuzhou's Zhe Keqiu would definitely not be able to sit still. When Wu Bao Village was captured, Zhe Keqiu did not resist and took the initiative to withdraw. This in itself was a signal. It's not that Wang Xiaolie doesn't understand, it's just that he's too lazy to deal with it.
The best thing to do is to reduce the general. Regardless of the reason or purpose, a surrender is a surrender. It is impossible for Wang Xiaolie to devalue himself and come to ask for a surrender. Facing the new situation, Zhe Keqiu wanted to return to the Song Dynasty, so he had to take the initiative to ask Wang Xiaolie.
This is an attitude that cannot be mistaken.
When the Jin army broke through Kaifeng Mansion and Zhao Gou, who was crossing south, was in danger, Zhe Keqiu surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. It was not without reason. But helping the Jin army capture cities and territories, and even wanting to be a puppet emperor, this is a crime. You can understand and ask for it, but you can't forgive it and you can ask for it.
Confucius said: The gentleman is Zang Boyu! If the country has the Way, then he can be an official; if the country has no Way, then he can be employed. If the state has the right, then be an official; if the state has no right, then live in seclusion. This is the behavior of a gentleman that has been appreciated since the time of Confucius. The Jin soldiers came and the imperial court was defeated because of the incompetence of the imperial court. If you come out to be an official in the Jin Dynasty, you are a fake official, you are a reduced general, and you should naturally be punished and scolded. You couldn't scold them at that time, and there was nothing you could do against these people, but that doesn't mean you can't scold them a thousand years later.
If the country has no principles, then it will be hidden. When the Jin Dynasty was in power, a gentleman should retreat to his countryside and not compromise his integrity for the sake of five buckets of salary. If you are reluctant to part with those five buckets of rice, you will have to accept the blame from future generations. They can't become traitors and say they have no choice but to do so.
In life, besides being an official, there are many ways to live. In fact, the vast majority of people are not officials.
Whether it's Zhe Keqiu, Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan, or Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Xiaolie's attitude has always been clear. These people are fake officials and surrendered generals. No matter how helpless they are, they will be held accountable after being arrested. If you can wake up and make meritorious deeds, then you can talk about how to make atonement for your sins.
It is unforgivable for a nation to mix up right and wrong on such a big issue.
Faced with the new situation, Zhe Keqiu wanted to return to the Song Dynasty, so he had to send someone to Luoyang or go to Xingzai to actively express his thoughts. Instead of holding heavy troops, occupying key areas, and thinking about selling at a high price. Wang Xiaolie's price here is that his army will invade Fuzhou and completely destroy the roots of the family.
If Zhe could be kind and soft-hearted, how could he face those Song Dynasty generals who were killed by Zhe's family? How to face Li Yanxian who has been surrounded by Zhe Keqiu several times? Taking a step back, Zhe Keqiu can be said to be worthy of the Zhao family, but it does not mean that he is worthy of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Now that Zhe Yanzhi is being promoted, it can be seen that Zhao Gou does not have this awareness. Zhao Gou doesn't have it, but Wang Xiaolie must have it.
After occupying Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie did not take advantage of his advantage to launch a large-scale attack. Instead, they stopped, expanded the army, and constantly reorganized their internal affairs, hoping to establish an advantage and then counterattack with absolute strength. Regardless of our own race or foreign race, regardless of fake officials or surrendered generals, let them get the retribution they deserve without having to negotiate with them.
After the founding of the Song Dynasty, it never established an advantage over the surrounding foreign ethnic groups, and its ethnic policies were also inconsistent. Wang Xiaolie doesn't need this.
Not long after, Cui Qing brought the list, handed it to Wang Xiaolie, and left.
Picking up the list, Wang Xiaolie looked at it carefully.
The most officials coming were the new scholars in the second year of Jianyan and this year. These two scientific examinations were similar examinations held by various roads due to the turmoil in the country and blocked roads. Wang Xiaolie went on the Northern Expedition and missed the imperial examination time. The candidates from Jingxi Road went to Jinghu Road to take the exam.
The roads for Jinshi scholars in places like Shaanxi, Western Beijing, Jinghu, and Lianghuai are blocked, and some of them have not yet been awarded official positions. Even if they are given official positions, many are unable to take up their posts. Most of those who take office are in dire straits and want to change.
Under Wang Xiaolie's rule, the salary and salary were generous, and the incident spread throughout the country. The imperial court agreed to send officials here, first of all the new scholars from Shaanxi and Jinghu, who actively signed up. There are fewer officials signing up for the Lianghuai, Jiangnan, and Liangzhe provinces, but there are still some.
In addition to the new scholars, there are some lower-level officials or unemployed officials. If you get a real job and have a salary, why not do it?
Apart from these people, those who caught Wang Xiaolie's attention the most were some officials who wanted to fight against the Jin and serve the country.
No matter what the court thought, Wang Xiaolie built up an army in the past two years and won consecutive battles, becoming the main force in the fight against the Jin Dynasty. After Li Yanxian's sacrifice of prisoners was officially recognized by the court, some officials who wanted to resist the Jin Dynasty and serve the country took the initiative to come to the west of Beijing.
Putting down the list, Wang Xiaolie rubbed his forehead.
In the past, I was worried that there would be no one, but suddenly so many people came, which was also a headache.
When people come, Wang Xiaolie wants to know how to use it. If you continue the old method and directly appoint people to take office, your own governance system will be disrupted. These people must be gathered together and given unified training. After training, they are allowed to work.
How to use people's names, how to conduct assessments, how to be promoted or demoted, there are so many questions, Wang Xiaolie's head is spinning.
At Wang Xiaolie's house, Wang Qingxiu looked at the sun in the sky and said to Wang Zhong: "Dalang has been back for a few days, why don't you come home and take a look?"
Wang Zhongdao: "He is an official. He is busy with official duties and it is normal for him to have no time to go home."
Wang Qingxiu said angrily: "That's enough for one or two days. If you don't go home for three to five days, how can you be an official? We have to listen to his ideas for many things at home. That's all. Send someone to the government office to ask him to go home today. !”
Wang Zhongdao: "Madam, what is Dalang's status now? If he doesn't go home, he must be on official business. How can we urge him? Wait a day or two, and Dalang will come back naturally when he is free. He is in charge of such a big place. With so many people, it’s not easy for Dalang.”
Wang Qingxiu bulged his mouth and sulked for a while. He sighed helplessly: "No matter how busy you are with official duties, you can't be like this. In my opinion, Dalang doesn't care about this family. There is really no other way. You can go to the government office in person and let Dalang know when he will be here. Sora, go home and stay one night.”
Wang Zhong said yes. After a while, he said: "The lady is in a hurry to get married, so she really can't wait any longer. When the summer heat is over, she will hurry up and get married."
Wang Qingxiu said: "If I don't marry, how can my brother get married? He is not young anymore. He has fallen in love with the Lin family's young lady and wants to get married as soon as possible. I will marry to the Zhang family in the autumn, and in the winter, I will let the elder man Get married!"
Wang Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, it's time for a happy event."
The situation has stabilized. Wang Qingxiu is getting older and feels that it cannot continue like this. You should get married quickly, your brother should get married quickly, and have children. This is what a family should be like. How can this continue?
The Zhang family and the Lin family, who were getting married, had already made preparations and were eagerly waiting for Wang Xiaolie's nod.
