Volume 1 Raid Chapter 33 Discussion (That's the End of the Matter)
There is always no reason in the world, Pei Yuan is clearly Zitong Taishou, but he is more like a martial artist; Fu Rong is clearly a general of the expedition to the south, but he is more like a literati, and the history books of later generations will evaluate Fu Rong as "praising Jinglun with Yi Qi".
A lamp is like a bean, swaying all over the room, this is a temporary study. Books, calligraphy and paintings are all treasures collected from the Huiji, and there are some extinct and unique books made by everyone.
Warm wine was placed on the delicate table, and Fu Rong and Pei Shengqin knelt opposite each other, each pouring a full glass. Fu Rong didn't have the slightest intention of going straight to the point, but first picked out a few volumes of calligraphy and paintings, flipped through them with great interest, put aside a synopsis, and then went to turn over the next one.
"Most of these paintings and calligraphy are Chinese national treasures, which were stolen to the south by the Sima family, but I didn't expect to return to China. Just by recapturing these national treasures, Xiao Pei Gongzi has a great contribution to China! Fu Rong said excitedly while flipping through it.
"This is what the last general should do, when he leaves the meeting, he will bring everything he can bring, and he can't leave it to Nanban." Pei Shengqin smiled and said that it was due to righteousness, and he did not take credit.
Yes, there is China in this time period, and China at this time specifically refers to the former Qin, which means the country of the Central Plains or the country of the center. However, most of the people who call China are literati and elegant guests, and ordinary people still like to call it the Great Qin Dynasty, which is more pleasant.
Of course, now there are also Huaxia and Zhuxia, and Huaxia or Zhuxia are not specifically referred to. Usually the Qin people called Qin Xia, and the Jin people called Jin Xia, and they reprimanded each other as "the defense of Yi Xia" and called each other barbarians.
For example, after the Battle of Weishui in history, there was great turmoil in the former Qin, and at that time, there were countless righteous people who spontaneously assisted the former Qin court to quell the rebellion. Among them, Zhang Tong, a native of Liangzhou, took the lead in shouting the slogan of "sweeping away the evil against Zhuxia, and Emperor Ning's room is in Guanzhong".
After drinking a cup of tea, Pei Shengqin drank a cup of wine and poured another one, Fu Rong just put down the roll in his hand. He smiled gently at Pei Shengqin: "Little Pei Gongzi thinks what is the biggest drawback of my dynasty?"
Pei Shengqin was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Fu Rong to be so direct and ask such a sensitive question as soon as he came up. It's really hard to answer if it's a different person, but for Pei Shengqin, this is the easiest question to answer, because this topic has long been studied by later historians.
Pei Shengqin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Guanzhong is dry and the world is full, I am afraid that there is a danger of Tai'a holding on."
Fu Rong's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "What do you mean by this, please ask Pei Gongzi to explain it."
From Xiao Pei Gongzi to Pei Gongzi, it can be seen that Fu Rong has paid more attention to Pei Shengqin in his heart, just because of the previous sentence!
"In the past, the Qin clan and the countries were won, and the elite soldiers of the world were gathered to defend Guanzhong. The strong cadres and weak branches lead to the emptiness of the place, and the remnants of the countries take advantage of the situation to rise, the people are multipled, and the country is perished. ”
"Today, I am the Qin clan and the countries, Your Majesty is a lesson from the Ying clan, dividing the children of the Guanzhong to control the world, and making the rest of the countries live in the Guanzhong. This is a strong branch and a weak stem, and its risk is even worse. Although there are elite soldiers guarding the world, there is no danger of people changing. However, if the ministers who defend the land betray and the soldiers who defend the land rebel, what should the court do?"
"Again, Your Majesty was afraid that the remnants of the countries would bewitch the place, so he moved it into the customs and put it at the foot of the Son of Heaven. If Guanzhong is strong, this strategy is still a good plan, but if Guanzhong is empty, and the remnants of these countries surround Gyeonggi, it will be a great disaster. ”
Pei Shengqin let go of his courage and said, his thinking became clearer and clearer, and his language became more and more fluent.
Fu Rong's eyes when he looked at Pei Shengqin had gradually changed from attention to admiration. He was also faintly aware of this drawback, but he never found the right language to describe it clearly, Pei Shengqin's words were like seeing through the clouds.
Fu Rong asked respectfully: "Dare to ask sir, if this Tai'a is in danger, if it becomes serious, what will happen?"
From Pei Gongzi to Mr., this has risen to more than one level.
Pei Shengqin glanced at Fu Rong deeply: "Take this southern expedition, Your Majesty has done all the troops in Guanzhong, and among the millions of troops in the imperial court, there are 300,000 Guanzhong athletes. Now that the army is outside, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only sits in Chang'an, the capital with tens of thousands of weak soldiers. ”
"Beidi and Binh Duong, both of which are the places of the three auxiliaries of Gyeonggi, are stationed with heavy troops. If Murong Hong, the governor of the northern region, and Murong Chong, the Taishou of Pingyang, rebelled and led the elite soldiers of the two cities to attack Chang'an, how could the imperial court resist, and wouldn't the Jingshi fall into the hands of the traitors in an instant?"
"If the capital is lost, the road will be cut off, and it will be difficult for the imperial decree to be conveyed to the place. Then the ministers of the herdsman took the opportunity to support the army and respect themselves, and the Great Qin Dynasty would collapse in an instant! ”
Pei Shengqin is reasonable, the head is the way, and Chang'an, the capital of the former Qin, was lost in this way in history. After Murong Chong captured Chang'an, the crown prince Fu Hong, who stayed in Chang'an, fled in desperation, and finally descended to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was also the fall of the Jingshi that led to the complete chaos of the former Qin Jiangshan.
Fu Rong said slowly: "The two Lord Murong are all traveling south with the imperial driver, and at this time, they are around Your Majesty, but they have no chance to make waves."
Fu Rong only said that these two people had no chance, but did not say that they would not, and that there were many traitors in the Murong clan, which was already a recognized fact in the upper echelons of the former Qin.
"Therefore, at this time, if anyone advises His Majesty to let the ministers return to the local town, he will be harboring evil intentions!" Pei Shengqin said firmly, he knew that Tuoba Jue would definitely make this suggestion, and at this time, he only hoped that his good news and impeachment could be delivered to Emperor Qin in time.
Although Tuoba Jue also suggested that the Qin Emperor gather a large army in Guanzhong, this was just a cover that he did not dare to make too obvious. If there was really going to be an incident, Murong Hong and Murong Chong hurried up their horses and raised troops immediately after returning to Beidi and Pingyang. In terms of speed, how can the army draw up the camp to compare to these two light horses? By the time the army arrived in Guanzhong, the daylilies were cold.
"Then, in Mr. Shi's opinion, what should the imperial court do to get rid of this evil?" Fu Rong asked again.
Want to pull out the malaise? Then the imperial court has to survive the current hurdle first! Pei Shengqin smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already done everything he had to do, and at this moment, he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.
"Defend the world with the world's soldiers, not weak with the Beijing division, not strong with the locality!" Pei Shengqin said without hesitation. Historically, Win Qin and Fu Qin are simply two extremes, one hollows out the local government to guard the center, and the other hollows out the central government to guard the place. Neither extreme is actually advisable, and who says that the central and local governments cannot maintain a balance unless one is super strong and the other is super weak?
Fu Rong hesitated: "I have not been in the dynasty for a long time, and there are many people in Guandong, Mobei, Western Regions, Liaodong and other places. If we don't suppress it with heavy troops, what should we do if there is a civil uprising?"
The problem has become a dead end here, there are many remnants in the place, and if there are fewer soldiers, it will not be able to hold it, but if there are more soldiers, the center will naturally be empty. After all, there are so many troops in the whole country, and it is impossible to arrange heavy troops everywhere.
The problem of the remnants of the previous dynasty has always plagued all dynasties, and if the guards were not strict, the children of the royal family of the previous dynasty would rush out to encourage the people to rebel. Later, when the Southern Song Dynasty was established, Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, was the first to solve this problem.
The method is actually very simple, that is, kill, kill all the royal family of the previous dynasty, and naturally there will be no remnants. In this era, civil revolts rarely occur consciously, and they are generally instigated by others, and nine times out of ten, the people who instigate them are remnants of the previous dynasty.
Before Liu Yu, it was an unwritten rule that the change of dynasty would never kill the royal family of the previous dynasty. After all, any dynasty will perish, if you take the country and kill all the royal family of the previous dynasty, then the descendants will take away your country and kill all your children and grandchildren.
Emperor Qin is not Liu Yu, and nine times out of ten he will not agree to do this, but this does not prevent Pei Shengqin from proposing it to Fu Rong now. Anyway, the method is given, and whether you use it or not is your own business.
So Pei Shengqin said word by word: "Kill, kill all the remnants of the royal family of all countries, and the world will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time!"
The look of surprise in Fu Rong's eyes became heavier, and he was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then he suddenly got up and gave Pei Sheng a deep squeeze.
