Chapter Thirty-Nine: Li Keith Returns to the Field, The Empress Dowager personally decreed
What kind of person is Xiner?
With the establishment of the status of the minister of Dingxi, and with the overall judgment and overall strategy of "Longdi is poor and weak, if you want to protect the territory and the people, and expand your strength, you must replace defense with offense" in recent years, and the continuous use of troops, and as Feng Yu thought in his heart, the fact that he used troops to win many victories, now, his reputation has long been out of Dingxi, and even He Hunxie, who is far away in Xuzhou, has a better understanding of his deeds.
On this basis, there are many heroes of various nationalities in the countries of the North and the South who have made evaluations of "their people and their deeds."
But just like what was said in the original time and space, it is the person's position that determines a person's point of view.
In other words, it is where the person's ass is sitting and what class this person is for.
Therefore, because of the different interest classes and interest groups to which they belong, the evaluations made by the heroes of various countries and ethnic groups are also very different, either praise or depreciation, or yearn for it, or like hatred, or attach importance to it, or despise it, or have no emotional color.
is like Pu Mao, although Shuofang is temporarily occupied by Xin Er, it seems that he doesn't care much about Xin Er's image, but this is because he can't make a move for a while, in fact, his opinion of Xin Er is not the contempt of a few years ago, and he has long thought that Xin Er is "the little cunning of Longdi".
Especially after hearing about the new policies implemented in Dingxi, such as the three provinces and six ministries system, the honor officer system, and the military ju, Pu Mao was keenly aware of the great advantages of these new policies in terms of centralizing power and strengthening the army compared with the old Tang Dynasty, and therefore raised his evaluation of Xin Er.
Privately, Pu Mao also discussed these new policies with Meng Lang.
He asked Meng Lang whether the system of three provinces and six departments, honorable officials, and martial arts could also be implemented in the Qin State?
The national conditions of the Qin State are different from those of Dingxi, although the two countries are Tang and Hu mixed residences, but the Qin State is the Rong people in power, the Di people and the Qiang people are the "national people" of the Qin State, and the Hu people of all ethnic groups are the rulers of the Qin State, so the political system of the Qin State, Pu Mao is the self-proclaimed "royal government"? The root of it? At present, there is no essential difference between the real and the Wei state, and it is also the Tang system and the Hu system. Like Pu Mao and Lord Wei? Outside of claiming to be a king or emperor? He also claimed to be a big single Yu, outside the establishment of the central court? There is also a single station. So, to a large extent, Xin'er's New Deal says? Unless the Qin State is completely or at least mostly Tangized? Otherwise, there is no way to learn, and even if you force it to move over, you can only draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog? At most, it can only be applied to the Tang people in their country? The large number of Hu people of all ethnic groups in the country is not applicable.
Out of this consideration, Meng Lang did not give Pu Mao a conclusive answer, but only said that the attack on the Wei State was their top priority at present, and it was best not to be distracted, so Pu Mao had not yet organized his ministers to discuss and plan for it in detail.
But? Then again, no more contempt is no longer contempt? Aware of the advantages of the new deal over the old Tang dynasty system, in the final analysis? Pu Mao still has full confidence in his "royal government" and his political strategy of "overcoming violence with benevolence", and he is not worried that Xin Er can completely change the congenital deficiency of the poor people in Longzhou with a few new policies? Will he be able to become a strong enemy for him to dominate the north and even the world? Therefore? His current emphasis on Xin Er is limited to attention.
Pu Mao plans to mobilize troops and horses when he solves the Murong clan and occupies the northern land, not only to recapture Shuofang, but also to fight back Longxi and Ran Xing's hometown. He also sent many of the captured Great Qin soldiers to the Western Regions to suffer, is it really true that Great Qin can't beat him? The mud bodhisattva still has three points of earth, and the Great Qin Heavenly King? To be honest, Pu Mao had already been angry.
It's just that, after all, to make a distinct distinction from Lord Wei, He Hun and other "brutal people", Pu Mao has already thought about it, and he still has to restrain his emotions when he treats Xin Er,—— no way, who calls him the King of Great Qin, who calls him ambitious, and wants to be the emperor of the world? Since ancient times, who can do whatever he wants? He must still be lenient and benevolent.
Sometimes he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he planned that when he conquered Hebei and was ready to use troops in Longdi, he must prepare a mansion in advance for Zhao Yanli, Koji Qiu and other enemy chiefs and enemy generals in Xianyang City, and also prepare a mansion for Xin Er in advance, so that he could be "captured" to feel at home, and like reusing Yao Tao and other former enemies, he would wait until Dingxi was destroyed, capture him, and also give him a marquis and a big official.
Like He Hun evil man, his territory is more than 2,000 miles away from Longzhou, and he can't fight with two strokes, and the two have not had any contact and fighting, and his evaluation of Xin Er is not as high as Pu Mao, and he only thinks that Xin Er is a person who can fight. As for the new policy implemented by Ruo Xiner, he also heard about it, but he was not interested, but he was very interested in the translation style of Dingxi in recent years, the reputation of the world, and the reputation of the "Western Regions Divine Monk" Kumarosh who was in line with Buddha Cheng and the same as the name of Xu Di.
Another example is Huanmeng, in short, since he saw Chengdu at the first time, he has become more and more aware that Xin Er is a personal masterpiece, especially after Xin Er's new policy was passed to Jingzhou, he took a case for it, thinking that Xin Er's new policies are the medicine for the evils of the times.
In the Tang State of Jiangzuo, Huan Meng personally felt the "empty office" of the Tang bureaucracy, the inefficiency of the imperial court and local administrative institutions, and the various drawbacks brought about by the system of operating households, but although he praised the case, it was limited to the situation of the dominance of the Tang dynasty and the central lords, and he also knew very well that the new policy of Xin Er was absolutely difficult to implement in the Tang State.
The evaluation of Xin Er by those in power is different, and the evaluation of Xin Er by the scholars and the people is also different.
For example, Liu Zhuang thinks that Xin Er is a benevolent person; For example, Brother Chen Chang thinks that Xin Er is a "good person".
For example, Song Hong and Pan Kuan, although they have never said it publicly, in their private hearts, they all rightly think that Xin Er is a traitor who wields power.
Li Ji has never seen Xin Er, the things he has heard of Xin Er are the same as those that Feng Yu has heard, because he has not had personal contact with Xin Er, he is not good at evaluating Xin Er's character, but according to these things that Xin Er has done, in his heart, he has a preliminary judgment on Xin Er, he looked at the left and there were no outsiders, so he said: "Xin You's author, I am the hero of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Feng Yu asked, "Does the general think he is a hero?" ”
"With a corner of Long, resist the Hu of the world, although Qin is strong, he will not fall behind. Aren't these characters heroes? ”
Feng Yu was thoughtful and said, "What the general said is true!" ”
What else did he want to ask again, Li Ji was a cautious person, and he didn't want to say too much praise for Xin Er in the Qin camp, first, Dingxi was the enemy of Qin, and second, Xin Er was a Tang person, so he stopped him, changed the topic, no longer said this, smiled at Wang Nong, and said: "Shi Nu, your home is in Huguan, and now our army is helping Yang Man to attack Shangdang County, as a landlord, when you go to Shangdang, you can do your best to be a landlord." ”
Huguan is a county in Shangdang County.
Wang Nong is not only the number one fierce general under Li Ji, but also the leader of the Shangdang soldiers in this beggar army under Li Ji's command.
Since his great-ancestor left Hebei to the present, Wang Nong's family has left the land of Xiangzi for several generations, and now he is about to return to his hometown, but Wang Nong does not seem to be too happy, he replied casually: "Why do you need the general to say? When the time comes, we will not get drunk and will not return. ”
Li Ji asked him and said, "Shi Nu, I think you are absent-minded, what?" Got something on your mind? ”
Wang Nong raised his head, looked at Li Ji with a pair of strange eyes, and said, "General, are we really going to fight the party county?" ”
"Isn't this what the generals and colonels in our army have already discussed before? The king has allowed it, can this matter be fake? ”
Wang Nong muttered.
Li Ji didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Shi Nu, what did you say?" ”
"The last general said that it would be a pity to abandon the top priority work of conquering Ye County and go to fight the party!"
Li Ji was silent, and said in his heart: "Before attacking Luoyang, Shi Nu stabbed Murong Wutai under the city, and became famous in one fell swoop. Shi Nu must be unwilling to go with me to fight the party county because of this. ”
He looked at Wang Nong's depressed face, and thought, "Fighting Ye County, of course, is greater than the credit of hitting the party county, but I begged for a living in the state, and left my hometown because of Hu Lu, in the past few decades, how many people died tragically under Hu Lu's knife, and Hu Lu has a deep blood feud, my father was dying, shook my hand and earnestly told me, ordering me to 'don't do anything Hu'." Looking at the north today, Qin is strong and strong, and those who have to unify the north may be Qin, I vote for the king today, it is a last resort, in order to save the lives of thousands of beggar men under my account, the king is also benevolent, but after all, Hu people, how can I really be willing to be a Qin minister? The heart of the stone slave, I know; My heart, the stone slave doesn't know! ”
However, this is the reason why Li Jining was willing to give up the great merit of fighting Ye County and decided to fight the party!
Only this thought, Li Ji couldn't say it to Wang Nong, he was silent for a moment, he smiled and said: "Shi Nu, most of the Wei defenders in Bingzhou are in Jinyang, and there are not many Wei Lu guards in Shangdang County, presumably Shangdang County will be able to defeat Shangdang County soon, and when Shangdang is defeated, you will come back to serve under the king's account, and it is not too late to attack Ye County!" He said to Wang Nong, thinking in his heart, "After returning to the state and conquering Shangdang County, so that my subordinate soldiers will return to their hometowns, if Shi Nu wants to fight Ye County for the king again, he will follow him, and I will disarm and return to the field!" ”
Wang Nong thought about it, what Li Ji said made sense, and his unhappy expression suddenly disappeared, and he was overjoyed.
Li Ji took the lead, Wang Nong, Feng Tai, and Feng Yu followed, and the four of them returned to the camp, conveyed Pu Mao's will, and heard that they would return to the township, and the soldiers were thunderous, and they prepared for war in one day, and the next day they bid farewell to Pu Mao, and pulled out the camp to go to Shangdang County.
……
Speaking of the evaluation of Xin Er, in Dingxi National Middle School, in Guyin City, on the afternoon of the second day when Li Ji and others set off for Shangdang County, a person with a cloak and a hair scattered, sitting in the hall of the Criminal Department of the Central Taiwan Criminal Department, pointing to the top of the hall, was scolding Xin Er.
I only heard him scold: "The sky has no eyes, why don't you make a thunder and kill Xin Agua!" ”
Around this person, there were more than ten officials of the Criminal Department.
One of the officials got up, walked in front of this person in three or two steps, split his head and covered his face, and said, "Song Xian! Why have you been brought here, and you don't know what to do? I don't know how to repent, I confess my sins, and I dare to scold the important ministers of the court? You know, this is a sin on top of a sin! ”
It was Song Xian who scolded people.
It was Ji Chu who beat people.
Ji Chu is the son of Ji Wei who was poisoned by Huang Rong's plan, after the implementation of the six-ministry system in three provinces, Xin Er moved him into the middle platform, and he took the initiative to request to be an official in the Criminal Department, and is now a history of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department. As for why Song Xian was so embarrassed in the hall of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department? Since the incident of his "spreading rumors and framing Xin Er" happened, Huang Rong has obtained all the evidence he needs, and then at today's court meeting, the above table of impeachment was made against him, and after the court meeting, according to Zuo's order, the Criminal Department sent officials to arrest him for interrogation.
Song Xian was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, glared at Ji Chu, and said, "You dare to hit me?" ”
"How about beating you?"
Ji Chu's father Ji Wei, according to the conclusion of the imperial court, was poisoned by Duan Chengsun, who was instructed by Song Fang, Song Xian's close relationship with Song Fang, Dingxi's courtiers and scholars are all well known, in the face of this guy who is very likely to have also participated in the poisoning of his father, Ji Chu was merciless, and slapped him very hard, he said, raised his hand, and made a gesture to hit again.
Song Xian subconsciously shrank his head.
Ji Chu said disdainfully: "With this little bit of courage, you still dare to shout? I advise you, confess your sins honestly! Gong Xin's handwritten book was shown to you just now, and it was clearly written, 'Confess leniently, resist strictly', if you honestly confess your guilt, Master Xin Gong has a large number, and may give you a whole corpse! If you insist on stubbornly resisting and do not admit your guilt, you have seen the fate of Song Fang with your own eyes, and that is your fate! ”
Song Xian, as a child of the valve clan, was humiliated by Ji Chu, a son of the second- or third-rate clan, and was already angry, and when he heard Ji Chu talking about Song Fang, the more sad and angry he became, his eyes were like fire, and he shouted: "Xin Er traitor, also worthy of being called a prince?" How do I scold him? He is arrogant and arrogant, and he is in power, and I am determined that there is no one who does not hate him? Who doesn't scold him? Don't stop scolding him, my brother is harmed by him, I hate to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin! The halberd pointed at Ji Chu and asked, "Cheap slave! You say, 'Why was I brought here, and I didn't count it?'" Naigong just didn't count! You tell Nai Gong why Nai Gong was brought here! You tell Naigong why you brought Naigong here! ”
Ji Chu said: "Don't you know what is written in the letters you exchanged with Xijun Chenghong, Qilian Wang Zheng and other prisoners? Do you not know what you have said to your brethren? The letters between you and Cheng Hong, Wang Zheng and others have been seized by our company, and Cheng Hong, Wang Zheng and other prisoners have also admitted that the letters are true. There are all the human and physical evidence, and you are still pretending to be confused? ”
In the correspondence with Zhongzheng Chenghong of Xijun, Wang Zheng of Qilian and others, Song Xian wrote the rumor-mongering rumor in a gloating tone, which is conclusive evidence, but Song Pian's testimony is completely fictitious.
Song Pian's rebellion back then was one of the reasons why Song Fang was killed, Song Xian hated Song Pian to the bone, and scolded angrily: "Song Pian is also worthy of the surname Song!" Also worthy of being a brother of the Gong family? He's a lackey of Xin Agua! My brother was falsely accused by him, and now he is slandering me! Ask, when will I see my brother again after he killed him? What did I say to my brothers, and where did he know that? What testimony? It's all slander! Hate said hatefully, "This kind of inflammatory, ruthless and unrighteous things, the shame of the Song family!" Wait, I will go to the book family and expel Song Xian from my Song family! ”
Ji Chu said with a contemptuous smile: "I'm afraid you don't have the opportunity to go to the book Song Gong!" ”
He turned to Wei Tai, the director of the Criminal Department who was sitting in the main seat of the hall, and said, "Song Xian is unscrupulous, refuses to admit his guilt, and the officials are foolish, so there is no need to interrogate him anymore, and our company can convict him according to human and physical evidence." For such villains, the lower officials think that they should be punished severely and severely punished as soon as possible, so as to clarify the laws of the country, stop the rumors and slander of Xin Gong by unscrupulous people, and return Xin Gong's name! ”
Wei Tai is the old history of Lu Shuang, and he is a close confidant of Lu Shuang, before coming to try this case, Lu Shuang gave him an explanation, saying: "Song Xian is a child of the Song family, and this case needs to be handled carefully." So, Wei Tai thought for a moment and said: "This case was ordered by the Queen Mother to be investigated, although the evidence is conclusive, it cannot be done hastily." Ji Jun, I think it's still with Ling Gong, please make a decision. ”
Ji Chu was reluctant, but Koji Shuang was ordered by the Central Taiwan, and Wei Tai wanted to ask Koji Shuang to make a decision, but he couldn't object, so he had to agree.
But at this moment, Song Xian sneered.
Wei Tai asked, "Song Jun, what are you laughing at?" ”
Song Xian said: "The Queen Mother personally issued an order and ordered the investigation? The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, haha, haha. ”
