Chapter 703: Conspiracy (1)
The talented woman of the Wang family once said within the walls of the Wang family that if you say it in the dark room, there will be trickery, this is not a casual statement, and there is really some truth and basis.
If you think about it, in a dimly lit private house, two or three people are together, and you can talk about the ideas that you can't say on weekdays, and the ideas that you don't dare to have may also pop up.
Therefore, there is also a saying that those who achieve great things do not seek the public, and those who do great things must be in the company of conspiracies.
Conspiracy is a thing that is intertwined with light and dark, and those who can control it must have a sense of proportion, otherwise the bright will be talked about by you in your private room, but the dark will let you put it in broad daylight, which will lose your head.
Fan Wenjin naturally understood this truth, and was ready to discuss some sinister conspiracies with Liu Yun, who suddenly visited, but he was afraid that Liu Yun would not understand, especially Liu Yun, as an internal history order, ran to the prince's mansion in the middle of the night to leak everywhere, will his deeds fall in the eyes of others?
Fan Wenjin was a man who liked to look at the big picture, but sadly, he never controlled the big picture, in other words, he was among the strategists that later literati were willing to advocate.
Why is such a person sought after by later generations, it is very simple, the strategist does not have to bear such a heavy responsibility, he only gives ideas, there are many brilliant places, once the matter fails, a lord does not listen to good advice and persuade Yunyun, and he shirks the responsibility.
And the most important point is that don't think that a strategist is easy to be, the life of a strategist is very exciting, and he will make the lord unhappy and lose his head at every turn, that is, he does not have to bear too much responsibility for the facts themselves, but he has to be responsible for his words and deeds, a typical literati position.
It can not only vividly reflect the talent and value of the literati, but also the ups and downs of his career, which also meets the conditions for being famous in later generations.
In fact, in the chaotic world, many of the wise and resourceful people in the later mouths are a group of people who can't help themselves and can't control their own destiny.
is like Fan Wenjin who came to Guzang, at the end of the day, no matter what kind of intelligence he has, he has to put his hope on a person he meets for the first time.
This is undoubtedly a deep mockery of reality for resourceful people.
Of course, Fan Wenjin can't compare with those ancient heroes, and people are used to judging heroes by success or failure, and Fan Wenjin at this time has no time to think about the name behind him, he is struggling in his prime......
The urgency of the situation was very clear in his night talk with Liu Yun.
There were almost no greetings, and there was no temptation, Li Yun, who had been prepared for a long time, even told him about the situation in Guzang first.
The emperor is seriously ill and no longer has a foreign minister, Liu Yun took the lead in stating a fact, as for what kind of stories there are before or now, Li Yun didn't say, and Fan Wenjin wouldn't be stupid enough to ask, who can meet the emperor now, how did the news spread, almost to the point where everyone knows about it, and whether Li Liang is really seriously ill.
Because it's unnecessary, there's no benefit other than showing that you're missing the point and making people look down on you.
There is only one thing people want to tell you with this, that is, the emperor is sick, which is the root of the current situation, otherwise, Guzang City will never be tense to this point and let outsiders come to see the joke.
The next Li Yun used narrative sentences, which soon gave Fan Wenjin a more intuitive impression of the distribution of forces in the capital of Liangguo.
First is the An brothers, behind them is Zhaowu nine surnamed Hu people, during the great cause, due to the Turkic division, Yang Guangzhi was complacent, his eyes turned to the Western Regions, so, Zhaowu nine surnames have been revived since then, and the clansmen have traveled all over the countries of the Western Regions, as far as Central Asia.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the war was chaotic, the trade route was cut off, the Zhaowu clan lost their backers, and immediately suffered heavy losses, An Xiuren took a fancy to Li Rail with the eyes of a businessman, intersected with it, and helped him raise troops, it can be said that An Xiuren made a very great contribution in the process of Li Rail's domination of Hexi.
After Li Liang became emperor, in return, it was also out of order to appease the hearts of the people in the northwest, and An Xiuren served as the secretary of the household department as Sima of the Liang Palace.
In fact, according to the situation under Li Liang's rule, An Xiuren's sitting on the throne is an irreparable thing, there are too many ethnic groups in the northwest and too mixed, An Xiuren and his people go back and forth to do business, and have a certain friendship with various departments, and reusing An Xiuren is more conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the people in Hexi.
And today, An Xiuren used quite slick means to encircle the Qiang tribes, and some of the Tuyuhun tribes who threw themselves to Li Rail are also eyebrows.
It can be said that the Hu tribes in the northwest represented by An Xiuren are the largest and most restless force in Guzang City today.
In contrast, the belated An Xinggui also played a role in fueling the flames, bringing the promises of Emperor Li Tang to those with dissident aspirations.
It's no secret anymore, as soon as Li Rail fell ill, he came to Guzang as Li Tang's envoy, and with the help of An Xiuren, he was an official under Li Rail, and he didn't have to hide anything.
This is a rather strange thing, which not only shows Li Liang's measurement, but also shows An Xiuren's strength and cunning.
In addition to the An brothers, the most stubborn and most repulsive people are undoubtedly the people led by Guan Jin, Li Yun, Cao Zhen and others.
This has nothing to do with righteousness, but is the difference between serious ethnic groups, and the northwestern counties have always been places where ethnic groups live together, because of differences in appearance, living habits, customs, etc., resulting in conflicts and killings.
But since the Western Wei Dynasty gradually became stronger, whether it was a Xianbei noble relative or a descendant of the Han people, after coming to the northwest, the first thing to be rectified was the Hu ethnic group led by the Tuyuhun and Qiang people.
In other words, the Xianbei regime, which gradually regarded itself as a Han Chinese, had a very clear attitude on issues involving the northwest, and that other ethnic groups were at the bottom, and only the Xianbei and Han people could be on top of the people.
As a result, from the Western Wei Yuwentai, and even before, the war with various Hu tribes in the northwest has never stopped, and there are many victories and defeats, after each war, a lot of slaves are produced, and at the same time, a few Hu chieftains must be killed before returning to the army.
Over the years, that hatred is almost impossible to erase.
Later people must be very happy to see these records, and this is ...... But you must know that there is never a win-win situation in war, and the strength and glory of the Central Plains Empire are written with the blood of the Hu people in the northwest.
What was that like? In the year of Daye, the once powerful Tuyuhun tribe has almost been completely driven to the highlands, and most of the Tuyuhun tribes left on the flat land have become slaves, slaves who can be wantonly killed.
The Qiang retreated back into the mountains and deserts, and many of them were born with the label of horse bandits, pursued by the army, and lived like outlaws.
And Tuqiang slaves are also all over the northwest counties, otherwise the Bai Yusa Rebellion would not have made such a big noise.
This is the cause and effect planted by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, and when Bai Yusao's rebels ravaged the northwest, the scene was so tragic that it was impossible to describe it.
Therefore, whether it is based on the difference in ethnic groups or the experience of the past, Li Yun and the others, who once arbitrarily drove Hu Nu, would not want to see a Hu species in the Western Regions climb on top of their heads, it was terrible.
And the reason why they have already joined forces is not only this, Emperor Li Liang poisoned Liang Shuo, which is also not a secret among the important ministers of the Liang State, and it is also a thing that makes Li Yun and others frightened.
Whether it is the preparation for his son's accession to the throne, or the various actions of the An brothers, it shows one thing, they are among the heroes.
In other words, Liang Shuo's death brought them back together and became busy for their respective lives.
They no longer trust the emperor, nor do they want to support Li Liang's son to ascend to the throne, they just want to fight for a way out with knives and guns when they are in danger, as they did when they were in the army.
And in addition to them, there are some people who hold power, that is, the old ministers of the Sui family, among which Xie Tongshi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wei Shizheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are the leaders.
Just look at their surnames, they are all from the Kansai Shivalve, they were forced to demote Li Rail, they have no loyalty to Li Rail at all, they are self-contained in the Liangguo Dynasty, and often unite with An Xiuren and others to attack Liang Shuo and others.
After talking about this, Li Yun's mental head was a little sluggish, and the situation was so sinister that he had already made his heart beat and he couldn't sleep on the pillow, but now he came one by one in front of people, in addition to feeling a little embarrassed, it deepened his psychological pressure.
Some people panic in the face of a crisis, even revealing their cowardly nature, while others have an amazing ability to resist pressure.
Fan Wenjin is undoubtedly the best of them......
Fan Wenjin's spirit is more excited, of course, he can't be allowed to be inattentive, life and death are at stake, at this time his brain has turned beyond his own imagination, even if he faced the bad situation of demotion back then, or when Li Yuan sent Zhang Lun to lead the army into the party, his head was not so smart.
Judging from this point alone, Li Po did not choose the wrong person, of course, this still needs to be proved by facts.
When Li Yun was silent, Fan Wenjin only groaned slightly, and then said: "The An brothers will be chaotic in the name of Li Tang, so does Li Gong want to contact everyone in the name of King Han?" ”
Fan Wenjin didn't speak, Li Yun was still scared stupid, and he was quite disappointed in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh, "That's right, can the virtuous brother help us?" ”
Yes, Fan Wenjin's IQ has soared, and the puzzles that exist in his heart at the end of the day are naturally solved without others talking.
With this opening of his mouth, he got to the point......
(It's Li Yun not Liu Yun, there are people on record, you can't be mistaken, it's been changed.) )
