Chapter 1471 How to reward immortal merits
Ma Shiying and Li Hao almost used their strength to feed, dragging Lu Jincai out of the door while dragging and dragging, and they were so tired that they collapsed on the ground, panting like cows and unable to get up.
No, at this time, Lu Jincai opened one eye and asked softly, "Did you come out?" ”
Ma Shiying and Li Hao were stunned, their eyes met, and they smiled bitterly, who said that this is a reckless man, and his heart is really no less than a person.
……。
"Before Lone even thinks about what to do with you...... Say it, your intentions. ”
Wu Zheng said calmly, his eyes were clear, and he never seemed to be drunk.
Mao Xiang was really scared at this time, he thought that he had seen a lot of nobles in the past forty years, but he had never seen someone like Wu Zheng.
He hesitated for a moment, because he knew that this was his last chance.
Mao Xiang never doubted that as long as Wu Zheng waved his hand and moved his mouth at this time, it was enough for him to be imprisoned and even lose his life.
If the punishment is unknowable, it is unpredictable.
As Wu Zheng said before, Mao Xiang really doesn't understand Wu Zheng, his series of "crazy words" are all based on this era, no, it is the "arrogance" of the scholars of all dynasties, if you are not arrogant, you can't do it, if you don't read it, you will have no future.
To fight for fame, it is almost a tacit secret weapon for readers, and they will not blame, and of course, they will inevitably be punished, such as those who are in high positions.
Under Wu Zheng's indifferent indifference, he was worried, and sweat dripped down his sharp cheeks.
Finally, Mao Xiang spoke.
"No one can premeditate everything...... In other words, no one can premeditate everything, and then the situation will develop as ...... as planned. ”
Mao Xiang's words seem a little incoherent, in fact, according to his experience and temperament, he shouldn't be so frightened, Mao Xiang was born in the family of Shi Eunuch, and he is a local famous family, plus he himself plays a small literary style, to put it simply, what haven't you seen?
But he was indeed ...... by Wu Zheng Casually, shocked.
Yes, it's arbitrary.
Historically, whether it is an emperor or a minister, most of them have admired scholars and literati, and everything is inferior, only if they are high in reading, they must always give a little face.
It is not uncommon for literati staff to persuade their lords to take a higher step, whether they adopt it or not, and they don't see how they really take people.
It has become almost an unwritten rule to admonish the thunder and rain to be small.
Refusal is rejection, and persuasion is still endless, unless it is expressly stipulated, "Those who persuade enter, behead!" ”
But Mao Xiang was really scared at this time, because he felt the indifference in Wu Zheng's eyes, which was not only indifference to Mao Xiang, but indifference to the literati.
There is no more than you, and there is no less than you, which is this kind of indifference.
At this time, Wu Zheng was also shocked by the incoherent words of Mao Xiang.
The speaker may not have the intention, but the listener has the intention.
The words are incoherent, but the meaning is implied with philosophy.
No one can premeditate everything, yes, no one has ever been able to preset everything and then put it into action, and no single thing or battle can be carried out exactly according to the preset plan to the end.
Winning over the temple is just a beautiful imagination.
Zhuge Kongming's clever calculation only stayed in the storytelling.
Reality is often good at slapping every strategist in the face when he joins the army, a real wise man just decides a direction, rather than presupposing how to go, often finding problems and solving them, rather than presetting problems out of thin air, and then solving preset problems out of thin air.
Simply put, this means that plans never keep up with change.
This truth, for a traverser, is very simple, and Wu Zheng can understand it, so his heart was shaken.
Wu Zheng's silence surprised Mao Xiang at first, but then, Mao Xiang thought that his words had an effect.
He grew bolder and spoke more and more.
"When the mountains and rivers were broken and the family and country were in turmoil, the prince turned the tide with his own strength, and the world knew it. The prince cares about the people, has a broad mind, and does not seek personal gain....... ”
Speaking of this, the peak of the rhetoric turned around, "The civil and military forces and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who can follow the prince, they may not be as broad-minded as the prince and do not seek personal gain...... Lord Wang, be rewarded! ”
Wu Zheng's face twitched slightly, rewarded, indeed rewarded.
If merit is not rewarded, and if there is no punishment, how can you serve the public?
What's the reward?
What is the punishment?
Reward and punish in the name of the great general? How to convince the public!
Wu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shot at the dark sky outside the house, and said coldly: "They may not be like you, they must be compared!" ”
Mao Xiang suddenly lost his temper, he stiffened his neck and said: "I'm afraid that the prince is despising Mao Xiang, after the Qing army entered the customs, Chen Mingxia invited Xiang to go north several times, but Xiang refused it, and the Qing court recruited him twice, and Xiang also refused...... The prince can accuse Xiang of arrogance, but accuse Xiang of seeking personal gain, and the beads must be compared, and Xiang will not dare to accept it. ”
Wu Zheng slowly turned his head and said lightly: "If you don't fancy this, why should I talk nonsense with you!" ”
Mao Xiang was stunned, but quickly came to his senses, saluted solemnly, and said, "Xiang lost his words." ”
Wu Zheng looked at Mao Xiang for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Gu admitted, you ...... He is a righteous man. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mao Xiang beat the snake and said, "However, Xiang is a well-educated person, what does Your Highness think?" ”
“…… Lone can also be recognized. ”
Mao Xiang smiled, and he arched his hand and said: "In this case, the minister's persuasion, why doesn't the prince follow the good stream?" ”
Wu Zheng was distraught, "lonely...... You haven't answered the previous three questions. ”
"The three questions of the prince should have been answered by the prince himself, Xiang is just a minister, if Xiang can answer everything, I am afraid that the prince will no longer be the prince, and Xiang will no longer be Xiang."
These words are enough to make anyone who is superior angry.
But to Mao Xiang's surprise, Wu Zheng just snorted lightly and said, "It seems that there is some truth." ”
Just when Mao Xiang was surprised, Wu Zheng said: "Lone is a general, with an official position, money, and land...... What's not to be thanked? imprisoned, confiscated, killed...... Why can't you be punished? Why do you want to risk the condemnation of the world to usurp the throne and stand on your own? ”
Mao Xiang snorted slightly, "The strategists and fierce generals around the prince are like clouds, they serve the prince to plan and spill blood, why?" The word merit! The prince can reward his military exploits, but he cannot reward his immortal merits...... Only when the king reigns over the world and rewards merit and lives with the country can he gather all the princes and lay the foundation for all generations. ”
Wu Zheng's face changed.
Mao Xiang turned a blind eye, and he continued: "On the day of the success of the Northern Expedition, if the prince becomes a vassal with one of the princes, dare to ask the prince, how to settle these civil and military forces who have worked hard for the prince and spilled blood on the battlefield? ”
"Whoever is in power, who is placed!" Wu Zheng replied without thinking.
"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, can the prince dare to guarantee that the new monarch can tolerate the prince's old ministry and this group of arrogant soldiers? If the new monarch cultivates henchmen and dethrones the old people, how will the prince deal with it? Is it to watch from the sidelines, or to fight on the basis of reason, or to raise troops on the side of the king? ”
Wu Zheng's face turned pale.
At this time, Mao Xiang tidied up his clothes and bowed solemnly to Wu Zheng, "That's all the minister's words...... Minister, retire! ”
