Wei Ni

Yiquan was anxious to see me, did something happen?
Xia Houhui, who heard Uncle Sun's words, also had thoughts in his heart when he nodded.

Wang Shilang is Wang Su. He has no elders to take care of it on his behalf, so he has to visit the mansion in person to discuss the date of marriage and so on.

As for sending greetings to the General's residence, he wanted to ask Master Sima to meet him outside.

Since the outbreak of the vanity case, many dignitaries who have been deposed or imprisoned have either started to travel to various states and counties, or have been confined by their elders to study at home, or have returned to their hometowns to live in seclusion.

For example, Xia Houxuan went to Jizhou, and Sima Shi often traveled to Yongliang. It seems that he found a talented man named Shi Bao from Bohai County of Jizhou in Chang'an, and recommended him to his father Sima Yi.

But he stayed in Chang'an after the beginning of spring this year, so Xia Houhui wanted to invite him to be a guest to greet the relatives.

The two have always cherished each other~
Since they all came back to Luoyang to get married, how could they not be invited to celebrate the happy event?
Especially Xia Houhui now wants to know if Sima Shi, whose official career has been imprisoned by Emperor Cao Rui, has changed in his heart and temperament.

"It should be that Sima Ziyuan is not in the mansion. Don't be in a hurry, wait a few days to see before making any plans."

After thinking about it, Xia Houhui answered like this.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to instruct, "By the way, Uncle Sun, we need to pay close attention to building a house. They shouldn't come here until the spring plowing is over."

He refers to the Anju where the followers of Taishan County migrated here.

Retinues are private soldiers.

To put it bluntly, they are the minions of domestic slaves.

In this way, the family members of the retinue must live next to the master's house.

In order for the subordinates not to be afraid of death when the master's family is in danger, and for the sake of the subordinates not worrying about the food and clothing of the family after being injured or killed in battle.

It's mutual protection.

When Xia Houhui arranged for Gou Quan to serve as the new army governor, he also made arrangements for other followers.

For example, among the ten survivors of Yanshan, he arranged for those who were willing to join the army to serve in the army, and for those who were unwilling, they were transferred to Cao Zuan as a part.

Because the family members of these people have just been registered by the government, it is impossible to move to Wubao at the west end of Yangqu to settle down, and it is inevitable that Xia Houhui will return to Luoyang to work in the future, so they can't take into account their original purpose of serving as retinues , so I took this opportunity to arrange the best.

And the nine followers of Taishan County settled down in the same way.

There were four people who were willing to follow Gou Quan to serve as the governor of a hundred people in the new army. Xia Houhui used the beheaded general transferred privately by Cao Zuan to reward money, and gave all the salary according to the previous agreement; the other five people who still followed him , will migrate over and settle down, and has officially become Xia Houhui's trilogy since then.

Just like Uncle Sun.

"Liulang is relieved, I have already arranged this matter."

Uncle Sun responded, and said slowly, "At the beginning of farming, there is no manpower for a while. After more than ten days, it will not be so busy, so I will build a house with people. Well, I will build a few more houses at that time. need."

Ok?
To prepare or how much is needed?

Hearing this, Xia Houhui raised her eyebrows lightly, and suddenly understood after a while.

What Uncle Sun meant was that he felt that those Taishan trilogy might bring his family Kun Zhong over.

Because the taxes in the Wei State are very heavy now, and the migration to Xiahou Hui as a disciple means that they belong to hermits and do not need to pay any taxes to the government.

Sometimes, the reason why aristocratic families hide their population and compete with the country for profit is prevalent, and part of the responsibility lies with the government.

After that, Xia Houhui also lost interest in the conversation, gave a casual order, and got up and went back to Wubao, "Uncle Sun can figure it out. When they come over, whether it's farming or mulberry or nursing home, Uncle Sun will also take care of it." Look at the arrangements."

"Ok."

The next day, afternoon.

In the town outside Luoyang City, the small house of Sun Lou, the youngest son of Uncle Sun.

Standing in the small courtyard, Xia Houhui in Yanfu rolled up his sleeves to draw water from the well to wash Wusun Liangju.

This is a habit he developed after he brought Wusun Liangju out of the palace.

Feeding, brushing, and taking out for a walk to soothe the horse's emotions and other chores, as long as conditions permit, he never leaves the hands of others.

Xia Houhe, who had just been escorted by the imperial confinement, hurried over, and couldn't help joking when he entered the door, "Sixth brother has been in the army for a long time, and he is already proficient in grooming!"

Naturally, he got a blank look in response.

Xia Houhui kept moving her hands, pushed her chin into the room, and said angrily, "I left some food for you on the table, if you are hungry, use it yourself. I will be ready in a while."

"it is good."

Xia Houhe responded and walked directly into the house.

He was really starving.

Today, I don't know why there are so many matters submitted to the East Hall for Emperor Cao Rui to decide. They didn't stop to eat and rest at noon, and let them, the close officials who had been in the palace to listen to the government since Maoshi, come to Shenshi with an empty stomach.

There are only a few pieces of dried meat, barley rice, and a pottery bowl with pickles on the small food table. The food is very simple and it is still cold.

But Xiahouhe didn't dislike it, he straightened his knees and sat down, took off the sable tail crown and picked up the bamboo chopsticks for slow use.It can be seen from the demeanor of chewing and swallowing that he is more like a son of a family now than an empress.

This is also a manifestation of the status quo of Wei State.

Many Haoyou or ordinary people who followed Wei Wu Cao Cao to start a business in the early years, after gaining wealth and status, began to yearn for the heirloom of poetry and books, improve the reputation of the family, and inevitably moved closer to the noble family.

Then gradually there was a conflict with the monarchy, and the loyalty to safeguard the monarchy gradually became indifferent.

When I was young, Xia Houhui came into the house after finishing his work.

He casually sat down cross-legged, took a swig from the bamboo water bag, and then asked, "Yiquan is in a hurry to see me, is there something urgent?"

"Well, just wait a moment."

Nodding his head, Xia Houhui put down the bamboo chopsticks to clean up the case, and went out to wash his hands before coming back and said, "Sixth brother, there are some remarks in the capital recently that are quite unfavorable to you."

I have been moved out of Luoyang by the left for two years, is there still someone slandering me?

Hearing this, Xia Houhui was a little dazed.

"It's a matter of accumulating evils in the fields."

Xia Houhe didn't wait for him to ask questions, and explained directly, "The former General Zhengdong launched a surprise attack on the Wancheng Valley. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the news. The ability and loyalty for the benefit of the community. In joy, he also said, "It is not immature power, and the evils accumulated in the farmland are just like before." Originally, this remark was the reform of the scholar family first proposed by the sixth brother Zan, from the farmer to the farmer. They recruited soldiers, but later, in restaurants inside and outside Gyeonggi, some people claimed that when the emperor was in Yingchuan Zhutuntian Duwei and the noble family, the six brothers were by the emperor's side."

uh~
That is to say, now all the officials and the nobles of the family think that it is I who disclosed to the emperor Cao Rui that the captain of Tuntian and the nobles of the family have been encroaching on the farmland?

And because of this, the loss and resentment are all on my head?

Xia Houhui understood it for a moment.

He couldn't help but shook his head, unable to smile.

Although he himself doesn't care about being hated by others, and he has long wanted to advise the emperor Cao Rui to rectify the accumulated evils, but this matter is really not what he did~
What's more, if he makes admonitions, those rats of the country will be disabled if they don't die, so there is no chance to hate him!

But what he didn't expect was that when Xia Houhe saw him silent, he poked his head over and said in a low voice, "Sixth brother thinks... is this the emperor's intention?"

"Ok?"

Immediately, Xiahou Hui frowned and his pupils shrank slightly.

He knew what Xia Houhe meant.

It was nothing more than asking whether the emperor Cao Rui, in order to alleviate the previous quarrel with the officials and the officials, deliberately pushed him out after gaining actual benefits to let the officials bear their grudges, thus ignoring himself.

So he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Even though he clearly remembered that when the emperor ordered the execution of those bureaucrats and powerful righties in Yingchuan, he sent him back to Huainan.

Because of some facts, people are only willing to believe what they think is the truth.

No matter how much he explained it, he couldn't clarify it.

"Well, it's enough for Brother Six to know about this matter."

And Xia Houhe, who just asked, did as he expected, and continued without waiting for his answer, "The sixth brother is far away in Huainan, so there should be one thing that is unknown. Last year, His Majesty made a custom for the division of clans, and he took advantage of the situation to assign each family All children under the age of three in the prince's family are recorded."

But it's just a child of the registered clan, so there's nothing strange about it.

You drive around every day, and you don't want to observe the experience of important ministers acting in charge of the government, but are you actually interested in these trivial matters?
Xia Houhui was a little speechless.

He just wanted to give a few words of instruction as an elder brother, but he swallowed all the words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because he suddenly remembered that Anping mourning king Cao Yin died last year.

Cao Yin was the third prince who died young.

Also last year, Princess Cao Shu of Pingyuan Yi who was born before the full moon died, and the emperor Cao Rui went to the funeral in person despite the restrictions of etiquette.

Today, the emperor Cao Rui has no children under his knees.

Therefore, he ordered Yousi to record the youngest sons of all clan princes, which should be preparations for the adoption of heirs.

Although Cao Rui is now rich and healthy in the spring and autumn, it is more than ushering in the change of the old and new kings in Wei State, causing turmoil in the suspicion of the master and the young state, but the courtiers of Wei State who have experienced a seizure of the throne are very concerned about this kind of thing.

There are also people thinking that "exotic goods can live in".

For example, if you can find out which family the clan son adopted by the emperor Cao Rui came from, you can go to make friends secretly. When the new king succeeds in the future, the family will usher in a chance to rise.

Of course, you should be more cautious when doing this kind of thing, don't let the emperor Cao Rui notice it.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the "chicken and dog will ascend to heaven" ahead of schedule.

"Yiquan, don't mention this matter again in the future, no matter who it is."

After a moment of silence, Xiahou Huisu Rong said, "My family is the father of Qiao Pei, and we are closely related to the country. Don't get involved in such things and cause disaster."

"Hey, Brother Six, I know about this even if I don't tell you."

Unexpectedly, Xia Houhe laughed lightly, "The sixth brother is favored by the emperor, and it is inevitable to make a fuss when he comes back to get married. Therefore, I thought of reminding the sixth brother first, so as not to let some people with ulterior motives get caught and framed. Six Brother knows that, with His Majesty's disposition, such a thing cannot be tolerated."

It turned out to be the case.

Xia Houhui nodded, "Well, righteousness has a heart, I know about it."

"it is good."

Seeing that the sixth brother agreed, Xia Houhe, who was sitting upright, also relaxed his expression.

He was anxious to see Xia Houhui, and he just wanted to tell these two things, and there was no need to be so serious about the other trivial or anecdotes.

For example, about Sima Zhao.

At the beginning of this year, Sima Yi, the general who supervised the military affairs of the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou, made great efforts in water conservancy in Yongliang.

He also remembered Sima Shi who was imprisoned by his edict, so he deliberately promoted Sima Zhao, who got married last year, to be an official.

It is a kind of compensation.

But when Sima Yi learned about it, he refused on the grounds that Sima Zhao was too young and uneducated.

Claiming to ask the emperor to let Sima Zhao study and practice virtue for a while, and he will not embark on an official career until he is clear and reasonable.

The other is the mention of Wang Ji.

Because Xia Houhui gave Wang Ji's younger brother Wang Qiao the opportunity to practice while he was in Huainan, so after Wang Ji learned about it through correspondence, he also raised his mouth to Xia Houhe and asked him to help convey his thanks.

He also presented Xia Hou and many refined Zuo Bo papers.

Zuo Bo paper is a paper improved by Zuo Bo, a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

The raw materials are mostly hemp and mulberry. The paper produced is uniform in thickness, fine in texture and bright in color, but the process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the labor cost is high. In addition, Qingzhou was a place where the Yellow Turbans were greatly disturbed. Even many skills have been lost, so the circulation of Zuobo paper is very small today.

Furthermore, nowadays imperial edicts are written on bamboo slips and silk, while some documents handed down from generation to generation must be engraved on stone tablets or cast into bells and tripod records in order to preserve them for a long time.Paper that is easily damaged does not have this advantage, so Zuobo paper is generally not used by officials and aristocratic families.

The reason why Wang Ji exists is because he is from Donglai.

Moreover, his family was not well-off when he was young and orphaned, so he also developed the habit of using Zuobo paper for daily writing.

"Hey, this is Zuo Bozhi."

After conveying Wang Ji's thanks, Xia Houhe also took out the rolled up Zuo Bo paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "Sixth brother should have never seen it before. I tried to write on it, and the ink didn't smudge. But listen Brother Boyu said that the ordinary Zuobo paper is slightly yellowed, has bumps on the surface, and occasionally smudges when ink is applied."

"Hmm~"

Reaching out to take it, Xia Houhui took out a piece of Zuo Bo paper and spread it out on the record, stroked it with his hand and looked at it carefully.

There is no novelty between the brows and eyes, but full of joy.

After a while, he got up and went to find a toy to put away Zuo Bo's paper, and said, "Yiquan find a time, let me meet Wang Boyu."

But Xia Houhe didn't respond, but spread his hands.

Xia Houhui couldn't help asking, "Why, is there any problem with righteousness?"

"No."

Xia Houhe shook his head, smiled wryly, "It's not difficult, that is, the sixth brother is getting married soon, I'm afraid there's something wrong~"

"Ah, I actually forgot~"

Immediately, Xia Houhui patted his forehead and suddenly said.

The reason is that Wang Su and Wang Gene have already torn their skins for academic disputes.

And he came back to Luoyang to get married, if he was discussing the marriage with Wang Su while having a banquet with Wang Ji at the same time, it would be a bit outrageous~
But he is really looking forward to sitting down with Wang Ji.

Not only because of Wang Ji's excellent academic ability, but also because when he first met Zuo Bozhi, he had already smelled the smell of five baht money~
