It was Meng Lang who mentioned Song Hong's name.

He was talking to Pu Maoyan about the current situation in Dingxi and Wei.

Pu Mao wore a high-crowned skirt and a jade belt around his waist, kneeling upright on the wooden couch, his hands on his knees, and listening to Meng Lang's words.

"The king, the Xin family is not from Long, but a scholar, and the door of his family is not obvious, because of his special merit in determining the Western Regions, the minister expects that there will be fluctuations in the middle of the Western Dynasty in the near month."

"What does Master Meng mean?"

"Thinking about the surnames of Song, Pan, Zhang, and Koji, all of them are famous in Longzhou; Song Hong, Pan Kuan, Zhang Hun, and Lu Shuang have all been in power for a long time. On the one hand, they are these high-ranking ministers, and on the other hand, they are the new heroes of the low-ranking clan of Xiner, if there is no merit of Xiner's Western Regions, the situation in the Dingxi Dynasty may still be maintained, and there can only be two consequences when Xiner has this great achievement. ”

Pu Mao said: "Master Meng is saying, either Xin Er will fight for power, or Song Hong and Pan Kuan will suppress Xin Er? ”

"Yes, yes."

Pu Mao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true." ”

However, he was still not at ease, he said, "Song Hong is an old minister of the third generation of Dingxi. Lonely in the dive house, I have heard of its name many times, there are relatives and friends in Dingxi people told Lonely, saying that this person is elegant and elegant, quiet and thoughtful, sincere Dingxi sage also.

"Master Meng, will he not be as you expected, not only will he not attack Xin Er, but because he values Xin Er's ability to use troops, he will join forces with him to restrain the power of the Western Regions, and then seek Ran Xing and Longxi?"

Meng Lang laughed, with contempt in his tone, and said: "'Graceful and elegant, dense and thoughtful', but the word 'Magi' is inevitably high-minded. From the perspective of the minister, Song Hong is just a dog who cares for the house. The home he looks at is not Dingxi, but his Song family. Not only Song Hong, but also those important ministers in Dingxi,......"

He paused, piggybacked on Jiang Zuo to comment on it, and said, "Including Jiang Zuo's group of so-called 'virtuous ministers', all of them are like this!"

"In the past 30 years, Dingxi has only one person who can be called a hero, and if he does not die early, he may become a strong rival of the king in the future. And the fox chased the deer and fell from the horse, and died in his prime,...... What does this mean, my lord? It shows that the 'deer' should not be determined by it! Explain that the destiny of heaven is in the king also!

"Fang decided that the west is young, and Song Hong's generations are all dogs guarding the household, so there is a comparison, Dingxi is now a child leading a group of dogs. Let me ask the king, how can I compare with my country? What is our country now? It's a holy lord with thousands of tigers and wolves! ”

Pu Mao smiled reservedly and said: "Alone in the country for less than a year, there is neither an example of good governance, nor an inch of land, how dare you deserve the reputation of 'Holy Lord'!" ”

Meng Lang was familiar with Pu Mao's character, and said in his heart: "The king is pretending to be modest again. ”

He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The king ploughs the fields, and the queen of heaven performs the silkworm ceremony, and leads by example to promote farming and weaving; make the harem diligent and thrifty, and the king does not have a taste for food; Advocating Confucianism and learning, expanding the Pan Palace, and all the children of the five officials and above in the court and the middle school were enrolled; The people of the country are all happy to praise the light and meager endowments, strict law and discipline, and rectification of the heroic and strong. How can it be said that the king does not have an 'example of good governance'?

"As for 'opening up the territory and expanding the territory', the king, the national government has been repaired, the people are rich, and the soldiers are motivated, will it be difficult to open up the territory?"

Pu Mao said sincerely: "The people are safe, the country is well-off, the road is not forgotten, and the wish of loneliness is also!" Hang the people and cut down the crime, and solve the upside down of all the people in the world; Follow the trajectory of the ancestors, stop violence and control chaos, prosper the royal road in the sea, and look forward to loneliness! ”

He said to Meng Lang earnestly, "Lone talent is not learned, and his words are shallow, Master Meng, all of this depends on you to help Lonely!" ”

Meng Lang said in his heart: "That's nature. He said with a smile, "The king counts the ether and looks forward to the ministers, and the ministers are not good, how can they be enough to imitate the ancients?" The king has the wealth of civil and military affairs, has the wisdom of the sage, and the minister dares to be honest with ants, and the king of Zuo will open a prosperous world! ”

Pu Mao said with relief: "Master Meng, every time I think of the stories you told me, Taigongwang and King Wen, King Wu, Guan Zhong and Duke Qi Huan, I can't help but sigh. The prince and the two kings of Zhou, Guan Zi and the Duke of Qi are all concentric, the ministers are loyal to the king, and the king does not guess the ministers. Looking at the historical books of the past dynasties, between monarchs and ministers, it is rare to be able to do this!

"Master Meng, of course Lone and you are the same as the monarch and the minister, Lone and you, is it possible to compare with them?"

Pu Mao fell in love with the Confucian culture of the Tang people from the age of four or five, and under its influence, he had already swept away the chaos of the world and created the ideal of the rule of the royal road; While being polite, there is no lack of determination to kill, and when he killed his younger brother Pu Changsheng, he was not soft-hearted at all.

Meng Lang called him "a man of civil and martial arts and a wise man", although he was flattering, he was not without any basis.

Objectively speaking, among the lords of today's countries, Pu Mao's ability is indeed outstanding.

But when Meng Lang was asked this, he was in his twenties this year, but his eyes flashed with childlike longing and longing.

The corners of Meng Lang's mouth were still smiling, but at this moment, his smile was a little different from the smile just now.

If his smile just now was the courtier's respect to the lord, his smile at this time was more like the love of the elders for the younger ones.

Meng Lang got up and bowed down, and said: "Minister Meng Lang, Nozawa is stupid, and he will not give up for the king, and he will be favored." If there is no king, how can the minister be where he is today? ”

Pu Mao said in his heart: "That's nature. ”

Meng Lang said: "Those who are confidants die." The minister has no other to repay, but to be loyal and wise, in this life, in this body, to pay the king's drive! ”

Pu Mao got down, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Master Meng! How so! Why are you saying such things all of a sudden for no reason? Please get up, please get up! ”

Helped Meng Lang up.

In the frugal palace, the monarchs and ministers are opposite, their eyes are affectionate, and their faces are smiling.

Pu Mao said: "Master Meng, I know your loyalty; My heart is also clear.

"I still remember that Master Meng tasted the Zhou Zhile that he had told me in the past, and Qin was the unification. I longed for it and longed for it. Master Meng, today's rebellion is still like the Warring States, the etiquette and music are broken, the clothes are decent, the benevolent people hear it, they can't bear to see it, and the righteous people see it, and they are filled with righteous indignation. The martial arts of the first emperor, and then shape the Qiankun of China, this is my long-cherished wish! Master Meng, let's work together to achieve great things! ”

Meng Lang responded: "Yes! ”

The two of them sat down again.

Meng Lang continued: "Dingxi is not enough to worry about.

"The puppet Wei Qian and Tuoba Xianbei joined forces with 100,000 soldiers, rode two horses, went deep into Rouran for thousands of miles, turned to the battle and broke the battle, defeated Wen Shilan, killed his generals, hundreds of marshals, approached the Rouran royal court, forced the proton to be a minister, captured Rouran, more than 100 'adults' of the high chariot departments, tens of thousands of herdsmen, and millions of sheep, horses and camels. Only from the surface, it seems that the pseudo-Wei soldiers are strong and strong, and from the perspective of the ministers, the pseudo-Wei is really declining! ”

"Why?"

"The minister heard that most of the several big victories of the puppet Wei were due to the soldiers of Tuoba Xianbei. The pseudo-Wei has been stealing the Central Plains for a long time, the Central Plains is rich, the chiefs and nobles are extravagant and corrupt, and the people are invading and bullying the Tang people. Tuoba Xianbei called them 'several types of Tang'er'. This battle actually exposed the low combat effectiveness of the puppet Wei troops. This is one of them. ”

"Second?"

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xianbei was strong and prosperous, and it was gradually divided into three parts: north, east and west. Tuoba is the Northern Xianbei, and the Duan, Yuwen, and Murong departments are the Eastern Xianbei. Dong Xianbei, that is, today's pseudo-Wei people. Tuoba Xianbei is of the same species as the pseudo-Wei people, but because Tuoba is far away in Mobei, and Dongxianbei is close to the Central Plains, so the Central Plains is stolen by Dongxianbei.

"In the current pseudo-Wei is declining, Tuoba is strong, and Tuoba will surely covet China. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between Tuoba and Pseudo-Wei, and this is the second. ”

"What about the third?"

"The pseudo-Wei attack on Rouran is to divert domestic contradictions and deter the evil people of Huaibei; At the same time, the puppet lord of Wei is old, and the ministers expect that there should also be a puppet lord of Wei who hopes to give his puppet prince a chance to establish military merits and establish prestige.

However, as Chen Shicai said, after this battle, the low combat power of the pseudo-Wei was exposed. Since the combat power is low, how can he deter He Hun evil? How can he elevate the prestige of his pseudo-crown prince's military exploits? It's counterproductive.

"When He Hun claimed to be the king of heaven, he had already fabricated the prophecy and vainly said that the Wuhu sequence had its name, and this person was ambitious. The minister asserted that at the latest, after the death of the puppet Wei lord, or even before he died, He Hun would rebel! Thirdly. ”

"What about the fourth?"

Meng Lang paused and said, "King, there are no four. Summing up, he said, "There is a peep of Tuoba outside, there is He Hun evil inside, and the pseudo-Wei is floating in the wind and rain, and there is no time to protect himself, and there is no need to worry!" He stayed again, bowed down and said, "My lord, use the army to make a square, and it is the right time!" ”

In today's conversation between Meng Lang and Pu Mao, Meng Lang gave Pu Mao a detailed analysis of the current situation between Dingxi and Wei, and it was not for no reason, they were discussing the issue of Shuo Fang before.

According to the blueprint formulated by Meng Lang for Pu Mao, Shuo Fang is the first to be controlled.

The strategy has been decided, after all, Shuofang's Tiefu Xiongnu has been a subordinate of Puqin for a long time, and it is not good to be nameless, so he must salute first and then soldier.

According to this plan, on Queen Gou's birthday three months ago, Pu Mao issued an order to summon Zhao Yanli to the court to congratulate, but Zhao Yanli excused herself from illness and refused to obey the order. Last month, Pu Mao gave Shuo Fang an edict, with the "Midyear Festival" approaching, to hold the Bon Festival in Xianyang, when the monks gathered, knowing that Zhao Yanli believed in Buddhism, Zhao Yanli was summoned to the court again, but Zhao Yanli said that he was cured, but there was a pimple in his eyelids, he couldn't see things clearly, he couldn't walk, and he still refused to come.

Twice ordered, twice not come.

There was already an excuse to use the army, and the position of lord of the country was usurped, and he really needed a war to strengthen the foundation of his rule. However, before using troops, he was still a little worried about Dingxi and Wei, and he didn't know if Dingxi would take the opportunity to attack Ranxing again, or plunder Longxi County, and whether Wei would come to attack.

After listening to Meng Lang's analysis, Pu Mao made up his mind, no longer hesitated, and said: "Master Meng, tomorrow's court meeting, Lone will immediately issue an order, apprentice to the generals of the army, and lead the army with Gou Xiong's generals to crusade against Zhao Yanli!" Said with a smile, "With the ability of Meng Shiguan and music, kill the clown Zhao Yanli, and kill the chicken ears with a knife!" The contemptuous ministers in the country, Master Hu Yan has no credit to the country, today, let them see if Master Meng has contributed to the country! ”

With Meng Lang as the main general, he crusaded against Zhao Yanli, and Pu Mao wanted to give Meng Lang a military feat.

Meng Lang bowed down and thanked him, and said: "The king loves the heart of his ministers, and the ministers are grateful. ”

Pu Mao saw that he seemed to have something to say, and said with a smile: "Master Meng, you seem to have unfinished words, what are your opinions, just come to the truth." ”

Meng Lang said: "Pu Changsheng's younger brother Wei Gong Puying, the ministers heard that he was quite resentful in private. King, cut the grass and eradicate it! The minister still thinks that it is appropriate to punish him and set an example for those who are half-hearted! ”

Pu Mao said with a smile: "The sea is violent, and we want to advocate the royal way, but Pu Ying will punish him without fault, and it will not benefit me." Master Meng, kill Pu Ying, but kill one person; If you don't kill the puying, show my benevolence, and use it to influence the country, then you can collect the hearts of all the people in the countryside, isn't it? ”
