Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1362
Since last year, the death of He Chong is not the first death of a minister.

As early as last year, Xie Po and Zhong Ya passed away one after another. Although these two people were not working in Xingtai, their respective deaths also brought different troubles to Xingtai.

First of all, Xie Po's death forced Xie Yi, general of Tongguan town, to resign from Ding You, and his post was temporarily replaced by Li Bing, governor of Hedong.However, after confirming that the general attack on the Jie Kingdom will be launched in May of this year, there is no time to take care of too many favors. Xie Yi has been in mourning for a few months, and Xingtai has issued an edict not long ago, ordering him to go to Xingyang to lead the Yuzhou Military Mansion The soldiers waited for an opportunity to advance.

Before his death, Zhong Ya was still in the position of Zhongshuling, presiding over the affairs of Jiankang Taicheng.Although in recent years, Taicheng has become more and more vacant, but Xingtai is far away in Luoyang, and it is also busy with affairs. If the details of Jiangdong's government affairs, officials and other aspects are sometimes not taken care of in time, it also needs to be established by a temporary committee. Kang's Taicheng.

In the past few years, Zhong Ya and Xingtai have cooperated very well, and he does not rely on power and arbitrariness. He is not the same as the previous rulers such as Yu Liang, Chu Chong, Zhuge Hui and others. For Shen Nanren Dian There is not such a big conflict in taking charge of state affairs. Of course, this is also determined by the general situation, but Zhong Ya himself can judge the situation and sit in charge to rule Jiangdong.

Over the past few years, Shen Zhezi has also accepted this favor a lot, because he felt a lot of sadness about Zhong Ya's death, compared with Liu Chao's mourning and honor, and gave a rather high posthumous gift.

After Zhong Ya's death, Jiangdong did not have a person to sit in charge, although there was still Wei Chong, the head of the country.But Wei Chong is very flashy, pure and empty, just a panelist, and he can't really count on real affairs.

With the death of Zhong Ya, it can also be said that the influence of the old people of ZTE in the current situation has come to an end. Now, both the north and the south, both inside and outside, all those who are in their positions are those who have been in charge following the strong rise of the Shen family over the years .As for those who talked about things in the old years, whether they were old people from Yuefu, or old people from the Yuan Dynasty, although it cannot be said that there is nothing left, it is already insignificant.

In fact, after Zhong Ya's death, especially during the period of year after year, there was another wave of discussing respect in Xingtai or Jiangdong. Wukang, the hometown of the general, is full of auspiciousness, so the meaning is self-evident.There is no shortage of voices among the ruling and opposition parties, and it is hot to discuss that the general should go one step further.

Even Xingtai Xie Shang and others discussed the specifications of Jiuxi, and even suggested that the son Shen Luo should return to Jiankang first.

It's not that Shen Zhezi is not greedy for honor and position. He also knows in his heart that this is a road that must be taken. If he doesn't take it when he should, the road in the future will only become narrower and narrower.But he did not lose his composure because of this. A similar topic was actually discussed once a few years ago, and Shen Zhezi had already had quite mature ideas at that time.

Now that the old matter is brought up again, his attitude is still the same, that is, the bottom line must not be lost.The reason why the Northern Expedition was upholding the righteousness was Chengjin's pursuit of rebellion. Before that, if he overstepped, he would be rebelling against rebellion. Not only is it not conducive to the establishment of the current new order, but it will also become a laughing stock after thousands of generations. Bad example.

"Before Jie dies, don't talk about it!"

During the recent period, Shen Zhezi has also repeatedly expressed his position to his cronies, with a serious demeanor, lest they be clever and mistakenly think that he is a stickler at the end of the day, and want to engage in some tricks of three obediences and three concessions.Before killing the Jie country completely, he will never think of greed and injustice.

After stopping the demonic wind, Shen Zhezi did not continue to bring another person to replace Zhong Ya in Taicheng. On the one hand, there was no suitable candidate, and on the other hand, it was no longer necessary.

The reason why Zhong Ya is able to stay here is mainly to give the north-south time flow a buffer and acceptance time.In the past few years, the authority of Xingtai has become more and more stable, and it is superfluous to force a so-called Taicheng to rule in Jiangdong.

Moreover, people's thoughts are always changed due to encounters. New candidates who have not experienced all kinds of tragic political struggles in Jiangdong and the great harm they have caused to the world will not have Zhong Ya's respectful and painful experience.Once the big position is obtained suddenly, it is inevitable to have imaginations, which will cause trouble for the establishment of the platform.

Even after Zhong Ya's death, Shen Zhezi felt that there was no need to keep Taicheng anymore, because he appointed Wang Shu as Guang Luxun to return to Jiankang, presided over the emperor's move of the capital, and officially moved the emperor's line to Luoyang.This process is very long, and it may not be completed in one or two years, but the official office of Taicheng Palace Temple has been gradually withdrawn, and various functions have been classified into Xingtai, which has already begun.

As for Jiankang government affairs, his father Shen Chong needed to avoid suspicion, so Shen Zhezi appointed his second uncle Shen Ke as Danyang Yin.This appointment was a little unreasonable, because Shen Ke had been in charge of the Shen family's commercial affairs in the past years. Although he was also an official, they were all empty positions. The sudden addition of the prefect of the first county was a bit big.

And this appointment is Shen Zhezi's side response to the previous trend of discussing respect.Since then, Jiangdong has become the private land of the Shen family and needs absolute control.Of course, the appointment of Wei Chong as the governor of Yangzhou later was to add another layer of wrapping to this intention, so as not to appear aggressive.

All in all, with the father staying behind in Jiangdong, coupled with the past years of management, even if the situation in Jiangdong changes, it is developing in a positive direction and will not bring actual interference to the platform.

Having said that, sometimes Shen Zhezi has to believe in some mystical truths.First of all, his being able to come to this world is the biggest mystery. Of course, this is not enough to shake his materialistic views that he has cultivated for many years, and he is obsessed with ghosts and gods.

Another point of mystery is that although the old and the new are changing frequently between the north and the south, their Shen family, as a large and prosperous family, has rarely had mourning events in recent years.Of course, there are normal birth, old age, sickness and death, but the number is not many, and the real backbone of the clan, such as the cousins ​​of the father's generation, has no premature death or old age.

This kind of phenomenon sometimes really makes Shen Zhezi have to feel that maybe there is really some fate in the dark.

In fact, this kind of luck is also found in the country of Jie. For example, Shi Le was born in a poor family among Jie Hu, the humble of the humble, and was even reduced to a slave at one time. Aside from his cruel and beast-like character, his ability is actually quite good. At least he can keep the Jie Kingdom from collapsing for a long period of time, which is enough to boast about.

If the luck brought by this destiny can be shared a little bit, Shen Zhezi hopes to take care of another deceased person, that is Shan Xia.

Shan Xia was a man who enforced the law fiercely. I don't know how many people in the entire Xingtai government wished him a good death, but this did not include Shen Zhezi.In his heart, Shen Zhezi really hoped that Shan Xia could live a long life and continue to help him rectify the bureaucracy and eliminate the unrest.

Although Shan Xia's law enforcement was fierce, he could always uphold the right and impartial. This was far beyond Li Hong's ability. So much so that after his death at the beginning of the year, Shen Zhezi could not find him even after more than two months passed away. A perfectly qualified replacement.

Of course, it is not to say that in the past few years, Xingtai has not cultivated a few law enforcement talents. On the contrary, there are still many, and there are even some Shiliu students who flaunt their criminal names in the library.In the past year, Shan Xia has been plagued by old illnesses, and the specific law enforcement and supervision affairs are all carried out by his subordinate Bian Zhang and others, and they are rarely biased.

But for a character like Shan Xia, it still takes a certain amount of luck to get it.He was born in a famous family, but he didn't have the bad habit of being flashy and frivolous, because when he was enforcing the law, he had a kind of grandeur besides the cruelty.As a law enforcement officer, it is quite offensive, and infamy is inevitable. Shan Xia can put aside his family's old reputation and focus on enforcing the law. This is an innate talent.

Among the two cruel officials in Xingtai, Li Hong is much more flexible than Shan Xia, and will not completely ignore human feelings. This is one of the reasons why his reputation is not as good as Shan Ya's.

There is no shortage of criminal talents among poor scholars, and there is no entanglement of reputation, so it is definitely easier to use than Shan Ya, but because of this, it is easy to lose the bottom line, the punishment is flooded, and the true meaning of law enforcement is lost, and it is even regarded as a law enforcement officer. A charmer means.This is also one of the reasons why cruel officials have lacked a good reputation throughout the ages.

Shen Zhezi once wanted to call Wang Meng back to the Xingtai to sharpen and train him, but he also understood that Wang Meng's talents are not limited to this point, and narrow use of great talents is a kind of limitation.What's more, Wang Meng's current performance in the northern Shaanxi war is also very good, so it is not suitable to withdraw.

Recently, apart from supervising the scheduling of people and things, Shen Zhezi also took time out to read some ancient books of Shen and Han, including laws and regulations of Qin and Han Dynasties, and personally wrote and annotated them, combining his own understanding and combining some of them. The legal spirit of future generations hopes to sort out a set of criminal laws suitable for the current era.

In the future, he intends to set up a special judicial discipline in the library to cultivate a group of talents who are not only specialized in laws and regulations, but also have the spirit of exploration and innovation in this field, so as to form a genre with its own origin and spread to the future. , Continuously provide special talents who can truly maintain the basic social order as their own responsibility.

After all, it is not only the authority that needs dialogue on criminal names, but more importantly, the universal social order. It is itself a social discipline that requires a hundred flowers to flourish and accept speculation, rather than being limited to one of the world.

Compared with Shan Xia's death, He Chong's death in Xingtai did not cause much disturbance.He Chong used to be the governor of Sizhou, and his position and significance were similar to Zhong Ya's, and because he was too close to Xingtai, his sense of existence was completely covered up by Xingtai's frequent big actions, so that in these years, many The officials who have served in Taiwan for a long time did not know that there was a Sizhou governor in Luoyang.

It's a kind of luck to be lonely in life, and to be lonely in death, especially compared to Zhuge Hui who betrayed his name and Chu Chong who died in anger. Although He Chong's ending was calmer, at least it wasn't Being cruelly eliminated by the world with its indifference is not a consolation.

After worshiping He Chong and arranging for his heir He Fang to carry the coffin back to his hometown for burial, Shen Zhezi left in a hurry.Xingtai still has a lot of affairs to deal with, and he really doesn't have much time to linger on human feelings.
