Chapter 144 Virtuous and respectful
"When the village husband Yang was in the countryside, he saw the king!"
Yang Shi said with a fist at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan bowed slightly, and his smile looked extremely soft.
"Chen Yan has seen Yang Gong."
"I wonder why Yang Gong is in Jingzhao Mansion?"
Chen Yan asked.
Yang Shi stroked a few strands of long hair on his chest and said with a smile.
"I'm just a village man in the countryside, and it's not normal for me to offend the powerful people of the dynasty and be expelled and exiled."
Chen Yan bowed slightly.
He remembered that after the failure of Tong Guan's first Northern Expedition, Yang Shi once wrote to Song Huizong to reprimand Tong Guan for misleading the country, if Chen Yan did not guess wrong, this Yang Shi should have been exiled to the northwest at that time.
"Yang Gong detained Que today, I don't know what it means?"
Chen Yan asked.
"The old man is here to save the king."
Yang Shi said.
Chen Yan's eyes flashed.
"Why?"
"The king is in danger right now."
"Why?"
"The king moved something that should not be moved, and this thing is the foundation of whether the king can gain a foothold or even compete for dominance in the world."
Yang Shi said pointedly.
Chen Yan knew what Yang Shi was talking about, wasn't it Confucianism and the interests of the landlord class represented by Confucianism.
However, Chen Yan did not agree with what Yang Shi said, he did not rely on the support of Confucianism or the landlord class, but the invincible combat power of the army.
If there is no strong army such as the Dang Capture Army, then even if he has the support of the landlord class, it is still nothing!
"Mr. Yang is too worried, I don't think they are my foundation."
Chen Yan said with a smile, his attitude was very obvious.
Yang Shi seemed to understand what Chen Yan was thinking, and spoke.
"The king can win the world immediately, can he still rule the world immediately? To govern the world, it is still up to civil officials. ”
"Those illiterate Qiu Ba don't know how to govern the place."
"Hehe......"
Chen Yan unconsciously let out a mocking laugh.
"Yang Gong, that's not true, some civil officials in the governance area are not necessarily as good as a dog, at least the dog will not be corrupt and take bribes."
Yang Shi's face changed, and he could hear Chen Yan's dissatisfaction with the civil officials from Chen Yan's tone.
But he can't refute it, and it's true, many officials govern the locality, basically under the slogan of doing nothing.
Everything is handled by the master and the local assistant officials, he is a rubber stamp, or a rubber stamp that can be corrupt and bribe-taking.
Even if a dog is allowed to govern the place, it doesn't really make a difference, it's all rubber stamps anyway, and most importantly, the dog won't take bribes to harm the place.
"Besides, why does Yang Gong think I want to promote literacy in the army and strive to make every soldier literate?"
Chen Yan asked rhetorically, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
But for some reason, he felt that Chen Yan's teeth were flashing with a clear light!
"Isn't the king afraid of a rebellion in the state capital?"
Yang Shi was a little short of words, but he still opened his mouth and said, he was already a threat.
He had come to negotiate with Chen Yan on behalf of some people today, but now it seems that the talks have collapsed.
Chen Yan spread his hands, looked at Yang Shi and said.
"Yang Gong is highly respected in Shilin, why should he get involved in this kind of thing."
A wry smile appeared on Yang Shi's face.
"Respectable, someone has to admit that it is respectable, and no one admits respectability, what kind of respect."
Chen Yan understood, while Yang Shi had great fame, he was also tied up by this huge fame, and he had no choice but to be a marionette of fame.
I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune.
"The king really doesn't consider what the old man said, as long as the king agrees to retreat a little and not move their core interests, everything can be discussed, and even let them help the king win the world and ascend the throne to be the emperor!"
Yang Shi still wants to make a final effort.
Chen Yan shook his head slightly.
"Yang Gong, why bother, it's not difficult for me to win the world!"
Chen Yan said a very arrogant sentence, but Yang Shi did not object.
Because he knew that what Chen Yan said was true, he had been in the northwest for a long time, and he knew the strength of the Dang Capture Army.
Against the Song army, even if it is the most elite Western army in the Song army, it is also a heaven and an underground, and the Dang Capture Army is completely crushing the Song army.
Da Song has a problem, and he knows it!
The rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty were crumbling, natural disasters and man-made disasters were continuous, uprisings and rebellions everywhere, the emperor was mediocre, and the Manchu Dynasty was traitorous.
This is a sign of the death of the country!
As Chen Yan said, it is not difficult for him to want the world!
"It's not difficult for me to be an emperor!"
"But I don't want to be an emperor like Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, I want to be an emperor like Qin Shi Huang, an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a real emperor, and I dare not obey my word!"
Chen said in a faint tone.
Yang Shi bowed slightly, he is a smart person, Chen Yan's meaning, he understands, Chen Yan is unwilling to be a puppet emperor.
Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty won the world because of the support of the world's heroes, and all the generals under him were the sons of the heroes.
This also led to Emperor Guangwu discovering that there was a problem with his empire and wanted to solve it through Guangwu Dutian.
But the result was reality, which made his heart stop!
Guangwu Dutian's order had just been issued, and rebellions broke out all over the world, but the strong army that followed him to pacify the world was not moving.
If you want to put down the rebellion, you can't do it at all!
Emperor Guangwu had no choice but to compromise with the world's heroes!
In exchange for more than 200 years of the Later Han Dynasty.
And what about Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han?
These are two fierce men, one who burned books and pit Confucianism, and the other who deposed Confucianism in a hundred schools, both of them are using knives against academics, and I don't know how many people's interests have been moved.
But so what?!
They do what they do, and who can stop them?
People in the world can only pinch their noses and admit it!
The real emperor is to let them go down and compromise with him, not for him to compromise with the people of the world!
"What if someone rebels?"
Yang Shi asked tentatively.
Chen Yan glanced at Yang Shi, his eyes were meaningful.
"Then kill!"
"What if there are many rebels?"
"Then kill until no one dares to rebel."
"Yang Gong guess why I was able to quickly pacify Western Xia, where all those party nobles went?"
Chen Yan had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but Yang Shi suddenly felt a large piece of cold sweat break out behind his back.
Looking at the smile on Chen Yan's face, he felt a chill from his heart, and looking at Chen Yan's gaze, it was more like looking at a demon.
"Old ...... Old man...... Ignorance! ”
Yang Shi said in a trembling tone.
Chen Yan smiled and didn't say anything more.
When he pacified the Western Xia, he adopted an absolutely cruel policy towards the party nobles, and all the high-status nobles of the party were beheaded, and those with low status were thrown into the mines for mining, farming on farms, and grazing in pastures.
All the women were sold into slavery, some were sent to single soldiers as wives, and some were sent to factories to work.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Yan was able to quickly pacify Western Xia.
