Volume 1: Twilight Decadence and Wind and Rain Chapter 17: The Gentleman Establishes the World (II)
This time it was Jiang Shuobei's turn to laugh mockingly, he didn't raise a finger, but spread his entire palm and shook it: "Yes, but not all, Mr. Xun fully supported the Northern Expedition, but another emperor, Lu Haochen, tried his best to oppose it, these two can be called the two of them in the Fengtian period, and they often see the same, many of Daning's stubborn policies and politics for many years have been solved by the two of them, but there are uncompromising differences on this matter." ”
Su Yin pursed his lips, these two models of scholars in the world can be said to make him fascinated, but he has never heard of these two names in Taixue for so long, and now he knows Mr. Xun, but what is the origin of the other Lu Haochen?
Seeing that Jiang Shuobei began to sell guanzi again, Su Yin couldn't help scolding: "Are you kid going to be a storyteller part-time, or am I preparing a piece of eye-catching for you?" Hurry up and tell the matter, sell a fart! ”
Jiang Shuobei coughed dryly twice, and continued: "It's not that I sell Guanzi, it's just that how can I know so clearly about these old things from more than ten years ago, and the reason why I know a thing or two about the Northern Expedition is also what my father said." ”
"Then General Jiang doesn't know the inside story of this matter?"
Jiang Shuobei shook his head and said: "At that time, he was just the captain of a light cavalry battalion on the nine sides of Youzhou, and the officials on the boundary of Youzhou couldn't figure it out, let alone in the imperial court. But the rest of the story was known to everyone back then. ”
Jiang Shuobei stretched out his hand, Su Yin frowned suspiciously, and asked, "You won't still ask me for silver, right?" ”
"Phew! I want you to have it! Talking about how much spitting Xingzi wasted so much, hurry up and bring me a cup of tea. ”
Su Yin scolded and got up and poured him a cup of herbal tea for the night, Jiang Shuobei didn't care, and said after drinking it in one gulp: "At that time, the civil and military officials of the imperial court were arguing about this matter, and the excerpts played by hundreds of officials on the Yushitai alone had to fill your small grass house. Xun Tuiwei and Lu Haochen have been with the Son of Heaven for many years, and their prestige in the imperial court is very high, if the two of them agree, this matter will be determined ten out of ten, but Lu Haochen thinks that a big move will hurt the country, and he has admonished Emperor Fengtian several times, so this matter is basically around the two of them to fight and quarrel with each other, and the whole Chang'an is full of wind and rain. ”
Jiang Shuobei paused and said: "All the generals almost agree to the Northern Expedition, after all, the merits of war are not something that can be harvested at any time, not to mention a major war like the Son of Heaven who can't be encountered once in a hundred years." In addition to the military department, including the Imperial Historical Observatory and most of the imperial relatives did not agree to this expedition, and all the money burned in the war was for nothing, and the money did not fall from the sky. ”
"Lu Haochen made a move that shocked everyone in the early dynasty when Emperor Fengtian decided to make a decision, and he and more than 280 adults from the Three Princes, Nine Princes, and Six Imperial History Platforms jointly wrote a letter to Emperor Fengtian to dispel the idea of the Northern Expedition. This move is clearly to block the Fengtian Emperor with the mouths of the people, and the previous emperors are afraid that they will think about it in the long run when they see this formation, but this is the Fengtian Emperor! ”
Jiang Shuobei leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "Tear the joint fold to shreds on the spot!" The frightened ministers fell to their knees! ”
Su Yin felt that something was wrong when he heard this, he patted Jiang Shuobei's shoulder and said, "No, no, what are you saying is the same as you were there at the time, is this damn thing reliable?" You're not entertaining me, are you? ”
Jiang Shuobei slapped his thigh heavily and said angrily: "Lie that you are a grandson!" Lao Tzu has always been a pit of spit, when did he lie to you? Most of the officials of the previous dynasty are still there, you don't know because no one dares to tell you. ”
Su Yin hurriedly apologized, and poured another cup of overnight tea for Jiang Shuobei, the latter smiled proudly, took a sip of this tea and continued: "It is said that this white-clothed emperor is also a person who dares to pull out the dragon's beard, after seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, not only did he not coerce, but began to explain the reason why the Northern Expedition was not allowed, Xun Tuidui stood up at this time and refuted sentence by sentence, and the two argued in front of the hundred officials and the Son of Heaven in the court. It is the Son of Heaven who can decide. ”
In the end, Emperor Fengtian's heart was horizontal, and he immediately issued an edict to the Northern Expedition, the Son of Heaven Chrysostom, and he did not change when he came out, and at this time, he would be replaced by someone else. After all, he is not guilty of winning the battle, and if he loses, he is also meritorious, but Lu Haochen's temperament is too strong, otherwise he would not be praised by the world's scholars as a national soldier, seeing that the Northern Expedition has become a fact, he directly reprimanded the Fengtian Emperor in front of hundreds of officials! ”
Jiang Shuobei sighed: "From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who dare to point their fingers at the emperor and scold in front of the ministers and ministers in the court!" It is said that the scolding is quite ruthless, in addition to not having dirty words, the basic hurtful words are used, and even the imperial history who was in charge of supervising the hundred officials in the early dynasty sat on the ground with weak legs, and the eunuch who served in the court was somehow shocked to pee his pants. ”
Su Yin was silent when he heard it, just thinking about that scene was enough for him to tremble.
Jiang Shuobei smiled and said, "You know why no one dares to say what happened back then, right?" Rao is Emperor Fengtian was stunned, and he didn't react until Lu Haochen finished scolding, and he was angry and wanted to draw his sword to kill Lu Haochen. Only Xun Tuidui stepped forward, grabbed the sword of the Son of Heaven with his hand, and stopped Emperor Fengtian. ”
"After that, Emperor Fengtian was going to execute Lu Haochen, but Xun Tui knelt down to plead, but Lu Haochen was still expelled from Chang'an, and he specially ordered that every mile from the Forbidden Palace to Chang'an Dongle Gate would be punished with a stick, and all Chang'an would see him off regardless of his status, watching the former emperor drag his blood all the way out of Chang'an City."
"That's probably it, as for Xun Tuidu, on the eve of the Northern Expedition, he left Chang'an for some reason and faded out of sight, leaving only the Northern Expedition policy formulated. Some say that it was because of Lu Haochen's service, Emperor Fengtian was angry with him, and some said that because of his illness and retreat, it was also rumored back then, as for why, I'm afraid Xun Tuiwan and Emperor Fengtian knew. ”
After Jiang Shuobei finished speaking, he sighed again and again, and Su Yin was silent.
"Eh, Mr. Xun is in the Taixue Mansion now, if you are not afraid, you can ask."
Jiang Shuobei smiled evilly, Su Yin glared at him and said, "If you want to know, why don't you ask yourself?" ”
"What's there to ask? Everything has settled, not to mention the Huns' rangers on the border of Youzhou today, not even a single sheep can be seen. ”
Su Yin let out a long sigh and said, "So Mr. Xun is right to support the Northern Expedition. ”
Jiang Shuobei glanced at Su Yin meaningfully, and said solemnly: "Whether it is right or wrong is determined here, if you want to know, go to the Nine Border Pass, see the scenery over there, and you can bet on the scales in your heart." ”
