Just after the New Year, the snow in Liaoning Province melted immediately, and then the weather became warmer day by day at a speed that was difficult to adapt to.

This is of course beneficial. Just as the messengers from Luoyang were hurrying up, and taking advantage of the spring blossoms, a large number of Goguryeo people had been moved to Han Dynasty along the north and south roads.

It enters Xuantu, western Liaoning, then takes the south road from Mazishui (Yalu River) to Liaodong, Lelang.

Historically, as long as it was migration, wives and children were destined to be separated and families were destroyed, let alone migration after defeat? But from another perspective, the war, the country was destroyed, and all the young men died.

Almost, now the Goguryeo people have no room for violent resistance. Besides, once these people are transported to Han Dynasty, they will be directly 'digested' by local households who are preparing for spring plowing, and there is no soil.

Customer conflict.

Therefore, at least from the perspective of the superiors, this migration is very 'quiet'.

But even so, Gongsun Xun still encountered a lot of troubles here, and of course, these problems came from within the victors.

Some of them are commonplace...but some of them are so commonplace that they are a bit disturbing.

"So this is true, you really robbed tombs?!" In a lobby in the capital of Goguryeo, Gongsun Xun, who had not taken it seriously at first, suddenly became furious. "Besides you, there are others who have done this.

Who?! Who is the leader?! Who gave you the courage?!"

Several low-level Han army officers kneeling below immediately kowtowed in fright, while several county officials from Xuantu County standing aside stood motionless with their eyes, nose, and heart in mind.

That’s right, it’s tomb robbing!

As mentioned before, the Goguryeo people like to have elaborate burials. And according to their customs, there will be an East Temple outside the east gate of every city. The East Temple has extraordinary significance to the Goguryeo people. Life, old age, illness and death almost depend on it.

Therefore, it almost simultaneously takes care of social responsibilities such as ancestral halls, brothels, hospitals, and cemeteries.

For example, before the Goguryeo people were highly sinicized, every year after spring plowing, the witches of the East Temple would hold a gathering such as the Uncensored Assembly next to the East Temple, gathering young men and women from all over the city together, and first bathing in the river.

Then they gather in the big pit next to the East Temple and have wild sex to promote the reproduction of the race... How should I put it? In fact, whether it is spring bathing or young men and women going out together to make love, this custom is a common practice in various civilizations around the world.

It is a common phenomenon, and things like witches serving as prostitutes and temples serving as brothels have far-reaching consequences. There is no need to discriminate against the Goguryeo people.

However, after a civilization develops, depending on the level of construction of the marriage system of the civilization, the extent to which this custom is retained varies from person to person.

Of course, back to the present, what we need to pay attention to here is not an unobstructed meeting. Anyway, Goguryeo has perished. The real key here is the rich burial and cemetery. There are five cities in Goguryeo, and there is a large east temple outside the east gate of each city.

, then the nobles in the city and the Chinese people usually choose to take some of their valuable belongings and bury them in the cemetery next to the East Temple after their death. Over time, God knows how many things are buried, not to mention the accumulation of hundreds of years?

Then we see that the living people in the city are gradually disappearing, and most of the bones and dregs of the dead have decayed. Even the city may have disappeared. Only some of the funerary objects naturally have lasting value, and they are still concentrated and obvious.

Lying there... How will the motley crew of more than 10,000 invaders react when they learn about this kind of thing?

The news spread from the funeral of the King of Goguryeo, and then when the relocation work got on track, people started digging the grave... It's that simple!

But the problem is, there are some things you can’t say!

"Don't mention the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to me?" Gongsun Xun looked at the few low-level officers who were caught in front of him and couldn't help but get more angry. "Let me ask you, who else in the Han army has done this?

matter?!"

"General Gongsun, there is no need to ask who else is there?" At this moment, a county official from Xuantu County suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile. "There is no need to blame them harshly... Forgive me for speaking frankly, General, why don't you ask, who is there in the army?"

Involved in this matter? When you dig in the ground, there will be gold and silver, and then there is no victim. Who can resist it? "

Gongsun Xun immediately fell silent.

But after a long time, he suddenly stood up and asked the county officials: "The actor is still in Heshenggu City to supervise the immigration matters?"

"Yes, my master is still in Heshenggu City." The county official immediately bowed his head and replied.

"That being the case, you go to the south of the city to discuss the matter with Lu County Lieutenant, and I'll pay a visit to the dramatist." Gongsun Xun had no expression on his face, but he left behind the several officers who participated in the tomb robbery and the few whistleblowers in the hall.

Then he took Han Dang and a few other officials and went straight out of the city.

The officers were at a loss and the county officials looked happy for a while.

By the way, Gongsun Xun, who served as a county official in the Liaoxi County and also served as a minister in the central government, certainly knew the beginning and end of this matter...Tai Shigong once said, "Everything in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit."

; Gongsun Auntie also said, 'If things are not equal, they will cry'!

Then, the officials of Xuantu County who took the initiative to report this matter had only two purposes: one was that they had not benefited from it, or had gained very little, so they deliberately retaliated; the other was that they were jealous of what Xu Rong and other county officers had done this time.

Gaining credit and having too much wealth is purely out of jealousy, so I seize the opportunity to attack.

In essence, it’s still a matter of merit!

What is different from the previous competition for merit in the army is that this time the competition for merit is obviously larger in scale, more involved, and the matter is more difficult... You must know that although Gongsun Xun has accumulated a lot of prestige because of this battle, these sergeants now

He was still willing to obey and respect him unconditionally, but after all, the war was over, so he still lost reasonable and legal control over these genuine border troops from Xuantu County in the army.

In fact, it is Juteng who now has legal control over the Han troops and officials in Xuantu County. In other words, this matter is more like an internal matter in Xuantu County!

Therefore, as the actual controller of the army, although Gongsun Xun cannot remain indifferent, in the face of the attacks by these Xuantu County officials on the Xuantu County border troops, he really has no useful methods. It is impossible for him to let him go with just one word.

What these people gave up...the only thing he can do now is to exert influence by exchanging benefits with Juteng.

"Zhengnan!" As soon as Gongsun Xunfu arrived in the city, he met Shen Pei who came out to greet him in a hurry, and then immediately dismounted. "Thank you for your hard work, Zhengnan!"

Shen Pei was arranged to Heshenggu City not only because it was an important hub for the relocation of Goguryeo households, but it even had the meaning of 'looking after' Ju Teng.

"Sitting high in the rear all day long, how can you be so hard for your Majesty?" Shen Pei was as straightforward as ever. "I wonder if your Majesty came here to dig graves for the army without permission?"

"That's right," Gongsun Xun was slightly startled. "Has this matter already spread?"

"This is natural." Shen Pei quickly explained. "After the matter was publicly reported by Xuantu County Magistrate a few days ago, Xu Sima was summoned into the city, but he was neither punished nor returned to the army. It seemed that he had to wait for

Your Majesty, please come over and meet with the actor for a while before making a decision. I also know that Your Majesty will definitely come..."

"Xu Rong has been grounded?" Gongsun Xun looked surprised. "Does Ju Teng hate me so much? You had some bad feelings with him when you were in the army, and now that the dust has settled, you want to come back with revenge?"

"That's not necessarily the case." The judge couldn't help but shook his head seriously. "The prefect is actually a very pragmatic person. Your husband and he had a small affair, but it was not a big deal, so he should just go with the flow and watch the fire from the other side. After all, this time,

The soldiers in the army were indeed caught by those county officials, and once the tomb robbing incident is revealed, it is hard to say whether Xu Rong can escape unscathed."

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, but suddenly asked seriously: "Zhengnan is very resourceful. The success of this event is all due to Zhengnan's sole responsibility at the rear... I don't know, is there anything you want to teach me about this matter?"

"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower," Shen Pei responded calmly. "It depends on what your Majesty thinks."

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart... He didn't want to think that one day he would be able to enjoy the treatment of the upper, middle and lower policies as mentioned by his wife.

"Zheng Nan, feel free to speak out." After smiling bitterly in his heart, Gongsun Xun still asked politely seriously. "What are the three strategies?"

"The best thing is to just ignore this matter." Shen Pei also laughed and said. "After all, your military exploits are world-renowned, and I'm afraid you will be promoted to a higher position in the near future. In that case, why bother with the internal affairs of Xuantu County? There is still a bright future.

Ahead.”

Gongsun Xun stared at the other person with a half-smile.

"The next best thing is to take advantage of the fact that the army has not been disbanded. The general can just find an excuse and kill the troublemaker in front of everyone." Shen Pei continued to speak openly. "Once this person is gone, how many are left?

How can a county official turn the world upside down? But if the credit has not been paid, there is no way that this person, the prefect, will fall out with your lord."

"In that case," Gongsun Xun suddenly became serious. "Let's take the middle strategy!"

The judge was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, I haven't told you the right strategy yet!"

"Zheng Nan talked about the top strategy first and then the bottom strategy, but put the middle strategy at the end. He must have wanted me to take the middle strategy." Gongsun Xun replied seriously. "And I have said in my letter before that many famous people in Hebei Province

, Who is like to judge Zhengnan? Zhengnan’s magnanimity and strategy are far better than mine. Since Zhengnan wants me to take the middle strategy, then I will take the middle strategy. Why ask what the middle strategy is? "

The judge was silent at first, then took two steps back and bowed seriously to the person in front of him.

"Invite Xu Sima over."

Half an hour later, in the afternoon, at the palace of Heshenggu City, after giving the order, Ju Teng slightly turned his body to one side, as if to face the man sitting next to him in an attitude of escaping or staying out of the matter.

Gongsun Xun, Shen Pei who was standing, and Xu Rong who was about to arrive.

At this time, the people standing in the hall were many officials from Xuantu County below Xuantu County. After the New Year, almost all of these people came here to work on the relocation of Goguryeo residents.

Labor... From this point of view, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand that they feel jealous and resentful of those rude and uncultured sergeants who casually obtain a large amount of trophies and will be rewarded with many military exploits in the future.

Returning to the front, after leaning for a moment, Xu Rong changed out of the armor that he had always kept with him, and Xu Rong, who was neatly dressed, arrived at the palace lobby... It could be seen that although he was not treated harshly, his expression was obviously

He looked haggard and looked haggard, as if he had been mentally shocked by this incident.

Of course, this is understandable. He has obviously made great achievements, but he has become a criminal because of this kind of thing. Not to mention promotion and so on, if he is not handled well, he may be imprisoned.

"Greetings to the general, paying homage to the prince..." Xu Rong knelt down to plead guilty at the place where he had interrogated Ming Lin's husband.

"Bo Jin, do you know you are wrong?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting next to Ju Teng, asked expressionlessly.

"I..." Xu Rong, who was kneeling in front of the hall, hesitated to speak.

"Bo Jin, Bo Jin, I know you are unwilling to accept it." Gongsun Xun sighed deeply when he saw this, and then walked down the hall to help him up. "You have obviously made great achievements, but you are being punished for such nonsense.

Deprived of military power, there is even a vague possibility of prison! But this is the truth in the world. Some things may not be weighed by a few before they are weighed on the scale, but once they are weighed on the scale, they will immediately become critical.

Your body may not be able to bear the weight of it! If you do this in secret, you can’t do it on the surface; if others do it, you can’t do it; if you do it in the past, you can’t do it today... Do you understand?

?”

Xu Rong looked dazed and vaguely understood some of the meaning, but still couldn't fully understand it.

"Xu Sima, my order is..." Shen Pei stepped forward and said, "You are a Han general and a state official, and you must follow the rules! Those Xianbei and Wuhuan

Zahu can do this kind of thing, can you do it? To say the least, when the emperor ordered to destroy his country, destroy his species and destroy his country, you can also do some extraordinary things, but that is because everything has my family.

Your Majesty and the dramatist jointly shoulder the responsibility for you, but today the war is over, you can only bear everything by yourself. Not to mention, now that you are recording your merits and deducting your achievements, this unbearable act is even more sudden! This is

Although the robbery of the dead's tomb occurred in a remote place outside the fortress, once it was documented and reached the central government, how do you think the central officials with a background in Confucianism would deal with you?!"
