Reincarnation (5)

In the autumn and July of the fourth year of Xiangxing, Chen Yizhong wanted to follow the story of Yujin Garden (Note 1). Most of the governors who slandered had a backtrack. The emperor was confused, and the governor was recruited to return to the court. Yizhong secretly sent the dead soldier to the road, failed, and entered the palace to rob the emperor to go north. The emperor observed his plan, killed him to thank the world, and sent guards to arrest the rest of the party.

Before long, 21 people, including Du Gui, the head of the household department, and Liu Zijun, the head of the Supervision Yuan, jointly signed a letter, accusing the emperor of killing the minister without charge. Emperor Deng Guang recommended the confession of the thief Li Zhiting, and Zhao Shuo, Marquis of Guangxin, and Zhao Heng, Marquis of Xinchang, all proved the danger that the emperor was in that day, and the ministers were speechless.

In August, the emperor ordered to worship the governor of Dadu as the protector of the country, give nine tin, and go to the palace with a sword. Most of the governors are not thanked. The emperor issued an edict to punish himself, reaffirmed the law, and said: "All the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty have the responsibility of maintaining the law, and those who violate it are national thieves, and the world will punish them!" ”

Wen Tianxiang entered the city and swore an oath to protect the law with hundreds of officials. Receiving the position of the protector of the country, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Xing Dynasty are in one place. Since then, all six departments have been relocated to Fuzhou. Emperor Yu was no longer tired of the early dynasty, so he devoted himself to learning, and in a few years, he achieved great success.

A tense power struggle ended silently. Some people are secretly glad that the country has escaped a catastrophe, while others are unhappy with this outcome. Because after such a turmoil, the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Office suddenly rose to its peak, and there was no longer any strength between the government and the opposition that could compete with it.

"If Song Rui is Shun Yu's matter, from now on, no one in the world can stop him!" Zhang Jingzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, picked up a glass of wine and said angrily. It was still hot, but a deep chill could be heard in his words.

Chen Yizhong was killed, and a fool could see that he was used as a scapegoat by Zhao Yu. As an accomplice, Zhang Jingzhi did not feel sorry for Chen Yizhong's fate, after all, he was the initiator and organizer of this coup, and he would inevitably bear the corresponding responsibility after the defeat. Zhang Jingzhi regretted the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, before the incident, the Xing Dynasty under the leadership of Zhao Yu still had about three points of the ability of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and now, the Xing Dynasty has completely become an ornament.

The positive struggle has reaped the opposite results. The treacherous and loyal Wen Tianxiang took advantage of the sympathy of the people in the world and the guilt in Zhao Yu's heart to rob the last power of the dynasty. The Ministry of Rites, Officials, and Punishments, which were left to the Imperial Court during the last division of power, were all moved to Fuzhou and placed under the Dadu Governor's Office. Even Qin Tianjian, who did not participate in the dispute, was also merged into the Academy of Sciences, leaving Zhao Yu with only a huge palace and more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

"Cao Cao and Wang Mang were just like that back then, I really don't know what Lord Lu and Lord Deng thought. With the ability and prestige of the two of them, they can completely make the conspiracy of the thief unable to succeed! Zhao Heng, Marquis of Xinchang, played with the wine glass and discussed in a low voice. This is the last gathering of everyone, and immediately Zhuo Ke, Zhang Jingzhi and others will be ordered to move north, and the clans who stayed in Quanzhou will no longer be able to interact with the ministers as frequently as before.

Lord Chen sent assassins first, and Zheng Huchen defected to the enemy. Emotion, reason, and law were all taken up by Song Rui, and even if the two adults Lu and Deng were committed to the royal family, what could they do! Lang Zhuo, the servant of the ministry, could sigh accordingly. He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's behavior of killing Chen Yizhong in the end. Chen Yizhong did not dare to impeach Wen Tianxiang in a dignified manner, and sent assassins to intercept and kill him on the way, which has lost the morality that a politician should have. Zhao Yu didn't dare to take the slightest responsibility afterwards, but instead lost his pawn to protect the handsome, which was even more cowardly. This way seems to be clever, and it has achieved peace for a while. But with Chen Yizhong's head in front of him, who will dare to serve the clan in the future?

"That's also, that shouldn't be ......" Guangxin Hou Zhao Shuo was not angry in his heart, and he was a little incoherent for a while. His age and experience are not as good as others, and he can't tell any big truth, but he feels in his heart that he has lost too unjustly this time, and the power should be in the hands of the royal family, and if the royal family wants to take it back, the loyal ministers should unite to protect the royal family. However, everyone could not be unified in means and methods, and their forces could not be concentrated, so that they were easily defeated by Wen Tianxiang.

"It's nothing, our strength is inferior, and we are unwilling to use upright means to fight with others. After the conspiracy failed, the handle was in the hands of the people, and naturally they were passive everywhere. Fortunately, now that strong enemies are waiting, Song Rui does not dare to do usurpation and disturb the morale of the army. Otherwise, he directly led the army into the palace that day, and how many people dared to stop His Majesty? Zhuo Ke shook his head and said stupidly.

Thinking about the situation, everyone felt a little scared. After Wen Tianxiang's assassination, the people's hearts were surging, if someone really climbed up and called on the people to clear the king's side, I am afraid that few of you here will survive to this day.

After drinking for a while, everyone's mood became more and more depressed. I'm afraid, but everyone can't just watch Wen Tianxiang change Zhao's surname to his surname day by day. The Great Song Dynasty has not killed scholars for more than 300 years, whether it is to repay the favor or for the future interests of everyone, everyone must fight with Wen Tianxiang to the end.

"In the future, we will not be by Banzai's side, if Banzai still has an enterprising heart, Hou Ye must remind Banzai that doing the right thing cannot be done in the dark." Zhuo Ke held a glass of wine, held it up in front of Guangxin Hou Zhao Shuo, and said uneasily.

If it weren't for Zhao Shuo, Yue Qingyang and a few other hairy children around the young emperor that day, with his cleverness, he would not have acquiesced to Chen Yizhong's risky moves. Now that all the ministries have moved to Fuzhou, only these hairy children remain with the emperor. If they cause any more big trouble, I'm afraid that Deng Guangjian, Lu Xiufu and others will not be able to protect the emperor's safety.

"Now, the literary thief has the military and political power in one, and he holds the officials of the six ministries in his own hands, and we have no soldiers and no power, so what is the right way to fight with the literary thief?" Zhao Shuo picked up the wine glass, held it with Zhuo Ke, and asked in a low voice.

This is the ultimate purpose of his coming to see everyone off. Because he was dissatisfied with the assassination, Lu Xiufu was no longer willing to enter the palace in private, and the emperor Deng Guangjian was also interested in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Among the ministers, there are only those who can give Zhao Hao ideas, and there is only this pedantic Zhuo Fuzi, as well as Zhang Jingzhi, the same stubborn servant of the Ministry of Rites as him.

"Let's take a back seat!" Zhuo Ke smiled bitterly and persuaded, "Before defeating the Tartars, don't think about pro-government." Master Wen took a big step back that day, if he continued to advance step by step, the heart of the world would be lost, and in the end, I am afraid that there would be nothing left! ”

When consensus cannot be reached, mutual concessions and compromises are not necessarily the solution. Although Wen Tianxiang is extremely tough on the outside, he has always followed the principle of compromise internally. This is also one of the reasons why he has become more and more powerful and popular for more than five years. After experiencing a turmoil, Zhuo Ke looked at Wen Tianxiang's behavior again, and in addition to dissatisfaction, he had some insights and some admiration.

"What's the next best thing?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Maintain the law and let Song Rui be a cocoon. One day there is an appointment, long live and you will get a day of peace. Zhuo replied in very clear language.

Nowadays, the strength and weakness have been clearly distinguished, and there must be countless people in the world who are good at judging the situation and know how to choose between the governor and the emperor. Without the army and the courtiers, the only thing that could protect the royal family was the covenant. As Lu Xiufu said, on the one hand, the law of the covenant restricts the imperial power, and on the other hand, it also provides the greatest guarantee for the royal family.

Therefore, if Tianxiang or other people want to do Yao Shun Xiang Zen, they must step through the hurdle of the covenant. And all those loyal to the royal family, the priority now is to find a way to defend it. Because, after the Assassin turmoil, Joffa was already the last barrier of the royal family.

Everyone muttered, and this was probably the only thing they could do for the royal family in the current situation. People lamented, complained, and expressed their helplessness in their hearts. But they didn't notice that their attitude towards the covenant had unwittingly gone diametrically opposite.

No change within the Great Song Dynasty could escape the eyes of observers with ulterior motives, and in less than ten days, the story of what happened in Quanzhou City was sent outside the Great Wall along secret channels.

"Boyan, who is worthy of me, used a little trick to toss Wen Tianxiang in a hurry!" On the scale-and-scale royal horse, Kublai Khan threw down the information sent back from the fast horse in the south, and laughed and commented.

This time, the detailed work he arranged in Quanzhou finally rushed to the front of the newspaper, and sent him detailed information about the internal disputes in the Song Dynasty. Although more than half of the fine works lurking in Quanzhou City were damaged in order to create this chaos, the price paid was still very worth it to cause internal turmoil in the remnant Song Dynasty before the decisive battle.

"Those Han people always say that the victory is outside the field, but it has never really been realized. Prime Minister Boyan just taught them a lesson! The son of the late Prime Minister Mianzhen, Xue Wanze looked at Ye Li and quietly "stepped on" the other party.

For the Han people in the court, Wan Ze did not have the slightest good impression. In his eyes, the Han people should be slaves to control weapons, and it is very useful to drive them to build cannons, cars, and forge armor, and it is not suitable to give advice and lead troops to fight.

"The thief had bad intentions, so he made an appointment to support the façade. As a result, this time he was cocooned and self-bound, if there was no covenant, with Emperor Song's actions, he could justifiably replace him. Alas......" Ye Li pretended not to see Wan Ze's white eyes, shook his head and sighed.

When he was in the south, Ye Li's fame was no less than that of Song Rui. But now, Wen Tianxiang has gained fame and fortune in Fujian, and although Ye Li is also considered a high position among Hanchen, he can't escape the word "traitor" in the evaluation of the people. Therefore, whether it is out of the instinct of the literati or other purposes, as long as there is an opportunity to slander Wen Tianxiang, Ye Li will never let it go.

Kublai Khan raised his head and glanced at Ye Li in surprise. He didn't know where Ye Li, who claimed to be loyal, came to the conclusion that Wen Tianxiang was cocooning himself, and according to this reasoning, Wen Tianxiang took advantage of the chaos to expel Zhao Yu. No wonder Hututmur said that the Hanchen could not be trusted, and that their loyalty did belong only to the strong. Once the strong are in a weak position, these people will definitely turn their faces faster than turning a book.

Ye Li's mind was so delicate, his eyes met Kublai Khan's eyes, he had already sensed his speech, and hurriedly added in a low voice: "If the thief usurps the throne, there will be chaos within the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and our army can take advantage of the situation to advance, and it can be destroyed in one fell swoop!" If so, Your Majesty can succeed in a thousand years! ”

"I know, but Wen Tianxiang is not so ignorant. Moreover, at present, he combines military and political power, and he is not much different from the emperor. It's very strange here, you can come and see" Kublai Khan didn't wait for Ye Li to finish explaining, and had already shifted his interest to another spy report on personnel changes in the south, "Liu Zijun made Wei Yuanhou and entered Guangnan West Road as a pacification envoy. Wang Shitai, the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road, was transferred to the Nanyang pacification envoy to supervise the civil affairs of the overseas islands. The head of the household department was sealed by the Qing Yuan Marquis, and the post of chief envoy of the customs was handed over to Chen Gang. Chen Fusong, the former governor of Nanyang, reported to the dynasty and was named loyal to Yongbo, replacing Liu Zijun as the chief secretary of the Supervision Yuan...... The thief promoted so many unknown juniors to important positions at once, and assigned a few powerful minions to the outside. Could it be that there is something wrong with it? ”

Ye Li followed Kublai Khan's finger and looked at the information sent by the meticulous work, Liu Zijun, Zeng Huan, Du Gui, Chen Longfu and other heroes he was very familiar with have recently been awarded knighthoods, according to the new law of the Great Song Dynasty, although this kind of title has no territory, it means that the Great Song Dynasty will always remember their contributions to the country, and their descendants will enjoy a series of preferential measures such as free admission to the country to study, go out, participate in elections and imperial examinations by virtue of the replacement of titles. This made Ye Li feel sour in his heart and very jealous. But at the same time, he was very happy to come to a conclusion: "The thief is internally unstable, and his minions are obviously dissatisfied with his repeated tolerance of the Song family. Therefore, the thieves had to give them more officials and knights, and try to disperse their power. ”

"That's right, Boyan's plan kills two birds with one stone. Following Wen Tianxiang for so long without any dividends, even a saint will feel disappointed! Kublai Khan nodded and agreed with Ye Li's statement. looked down at the list of promoted knights, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he felt bad in his heart, "From the Sixth Department, the Customs to the Military and General Staff, so many unfamiliar names have been promoted. Wen Tianxiang's talents are inexhaustible......."

"We Mongolians also have heroes and heroes!" Wan Ze interjected in a low voice, "And he is loyal to the Great Khan, not so much fancy!" ”。 He did not have the ability to judge the situation of local internal strife from a list of official appointments and dismissals, but he did not believe that the young Mongols were inferior to the rising stars of the Song Dynasty. In recent years, although the heroes of his father's generation are aging, his peers are slowly growing up in timidity.

"Yes, the young people of our Mongolian nationality are no worse than the southerners!" Kublai Khan raised his head and punched Wan Ze in the shoulder. Although the young man in front of him acted a little impulsively, he was the same as his father Mianzhen, a bloody and trustworthy hero. Although the talent of the Han people is high, loyalty is always a problem. Just like Ye Li, Zhao Mengfu, Hu Mengkui, Wan Yiyi, and that Li Guida, they are all amazing talents. But in the end, it was still used by the Mongols and became an eagle dog crawling in front of the golden horde.

When he thought of talents, he immediately thought of Li Guida. This time he was able to successfully defeat Naiyan, and Li Guida's contribution to transforming the artillery cannot be buried. Compared with other Hanchen, what is more valuable about this person is that he doesn't like to dump on each other, and he doesn't have too much servility on his body. Whenever things are talked about, they are organized and reasonable, and they never talk about things that don't look for margins.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan shouted in a low voice outside the imperial palace, "Come on, give me Li Guida!" ”

"Yes!" The guards who followed outside the carriage said yes and rode away. Kublai Khan glanced at Ye Li again, and obviously saw a bit of loneliness and unwillingness in the other party's eyes, smiled, and said in a very kind voice: "Ye Qing's strategy for me to naturalize the Han army is very good, otherwise, the army may not be able to decide Liaodong in a war." Lu Shirong, who was recommended by Ye Qing, was also very careful, and he even won the hearts of me and the prince. Go down, remember to search for more talents among the Han people. I will reuse them one by one and grant them Mongolian citizenship. You Han people have an old saying, what is recommended to the sage, the virtuous must be virtuous. I think it's good to use this sentence on you! ”

Hearing this, Ye Li's spirit immediately perked up. His current goal in life is to be a famous minister like Wang Meng, and now that the prime ministers of the left and right of Dayuan are leading troops, according to the convention, Kublai Khan should promote another person who is about the same level as the left prime minister to assist the government. From the withdrawal of troops to the south, Kublai Khan still did not say who he planned to promote, which made many people, including Ye Li, feel very anxious. Today, he suddenly heard the phrase "recommend the sage to be virtuous", Ye Li knew that the time for his official position to be promoted to another level was not far off.

Climbing down the imperial chariot with gratitude, Ye Lizhi walked towards his war horse proudly. The surrounding Han soldiers knew that he was now hot in front of Kublai Khan, and they stepped forward to greet him. Ye Li replied proudly, as if he was already above 10,000 people, and under one person, in an instant, he looked forward to Shengwei, and his waist was straightened by three points.

"Why does His Majesty keep such a shameless person!" Seeing Ye Li beating the horse and walking away, Wan Ze began to whisper. "I heard that recently, the soldiers of the Han army have offered jade silk to his children, hoping that he will say good things in front of His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has asked him to recommend talents, won't he have the opportunity to make a fortune? ”

"Xiao Wanze, if you hit people, you must hit them short, and you must use them long. Didn't your father tell you that? Kublai Khan beckoned, motioned for Wan Ze to sit opposite him, and said earnestly.

Ever since he realized that he was short of talents at his disposal at the beach, he began to cultivate the next generation of usable talents in the cowardice. Therefore, Xiang Mianzhen's son Wan Ze is the best among the younger generations, so Kublai Khan did not hesitate to guide him on the way to the class teacher to teach him some principles of employing people and governing the country.

"Thank you for your majesty's teachings, minister, minister's father went early. Yes, to have today, it all depends on the guidance of the real golden prince! "When it comes to power struggles, Wanze is not stupid at all. Hearing the meaning of Kublai Khan's teachings, he quickly brought the relationship between the two sides closer.

Kublai Khan didn't mind his subordinates showing their loyalty a few more times, and continued the topic with a smile, "It's like this carriage under my feet, I want to use a high-headed war horse to pull it, okay?" ”

"Of course not, endanger Your Majesty's safety!" Wan Ze replied loudly. Kublai Khan's imperial chariot was custom-made from the south with a lot of money from the south, and the interior space was three times that of an ordinary carriage, but it was unusually smooth to drive. It turned out that the car was equipped with two chestnut Western horses, and after coming to the north, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. The carriage was changed from four wheels to two wheels, and the horses were also changed to a low breed for the Mongols to pull the carts.

"Employing a person is like using a horse, the key is where you use it, not whether it has its own shortcomings. Horses are used in the field, and horses are used to pull carts. If they are exchanged, there is a danger that the car will be destroyed and people will die. Although Ye Li is narrow-minded, greedy, and not very knowledgeable, he can often give me some useful ideas. I can also relieve boredom by keeping him by my side when I am fine, and watching him shrink can also relieve his boredom. And you Mongolian boys, but I am a good horse, and I want to use it before the field! ”

Kublai Khan whispered, his eyes slowly shining brightly. His mind flew to the spy report just now. Kublai Khan knew that compared with the remnant Song Dynasty, the current Dayuan was indeed short of talents. But Da Yuan knows better than Da Song how to use all talents in the right position. Because Da Yuan has himself, the grandson of Genghis Khan, the son of Torre, and the master of the royal family, Kublai Khan.

There are many talented people in the south, but there is no wise commander. Wen Tianxiang is not, and the others are not worth mentioning.

(Drunkard's note: Yujin Garden, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty failed, and the Song Emperor sent people to assassinate the power minister Han Yanxuan in Yujin Garden, and the head was removed, and the Jin Kingdom was sent thousands of miles away to sue for peace.) ）
