Chapter 9 Willing to die for the country
Pei Min said in one sentence to break through the psychological darkness of Yang Jingshu.
With Pei Min's warning, Yang Jingshu had faintly realized that he was wrong.
But he didn't want to admit it, and he couldn't admit it.
Once he admits that it was all his fault, he must take responsibility for his own fault.
The important places on the front line were lost, and hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou were threatened because of his ignorance, and the imperial court suffered huge losses as a result......
This sin must be met by one or more people......
So he has to know what went wrong no matter what, and he is looking for problems not to solve them, but to shirk responsibility.
Pei Min said it so bluntly, and he broke it in front of outsiders, how could he stand it?
Liang Governor Shi Yinxuan is his person, but it doesn't matter, but the herald is not, as long as he says Pei Min's words today, then everything is played......
I can't bear it, I don't have to endure it anymore!
While Pei Min couldn't bear Yang Jingshu, Yang Jingshu also couldn't bear Pei Min anymore.
"Pei Guogong, it is true that you are a high and powerful person, and you are still the only foreign minister who holds the local military and political power. But that was in Longyou, not Liangzhou. I, Yang Jingshu, am the governor of Liangzhou, and Yang is responsible for the affairs of Liangzhou. If you interfere, you are overstepping your authority...... Pei Guogong is the champion of the innate years, and he should have heard the truth that 'it is not a cold night, thinking that the harm of invading officials is worse than the cold'! ”
Yang Jing recounted an allusion that originated in Korea during the Warring States Period.
It is said that once after Han Zhaohou got drunk, he fell asleep without covering anything on his body. Dianguan, the attendant in charge of the hat, saw Han Zhaohou sleeping there like this and was about to catch a cold, so he covered him with a dress.
After Han Zhaohou woke up, he learned about the incident and punished Dianyi, and at the same time punished Dianguan more severely.
It was a dereliction of duty for Dianyi to fail to cover Han Zhaohou with clothes in time to protect him from the cold when Han Zhaohou was sleeping, but Dianguan's behavior was ultra vires. Beyond the scope of his duties. He did what he shouldn't have done.
Han Zhaohou is not afraid of catching a cold, but believes that the harm of violating the authority of others is much more serious than catching a cold.
This is just a trivial matter, but it is a big thing for Han Feizi, and the meaning is very far-reaching.
Yang Jingshu pointed out that Pei Min interfered in his administration and accused him of overstepping his authority.
Overstepping one's authority is a major taboo, and looking at China's thousand-year-old history, I don't know how many people have died as a result of overstepping one's authority.
Pei Min also knew in his heart that ordinary overstepping his authority, with Li Longji's favor and trust in him, he could be forgiven, and he didn't even care.
But the transfer of armies beyond his authority and the command of three armies outside his jurisdiction were unbearable for any king.
No matter how much Li Longji trusts him, once he crosses this right and holds the charge of being spoiled and coquettish, he really can't escape.
Pei Min smiled and said: "It's true that I don't have the right to command the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, but to deal with an incompetent person like you, you need to use the army?" You're afraid you've forgotten where I came from, haven't you? Forgot that I also have the title of Imperial Historian? ”
Yang Jingshu's face turned pale in an instant, his feet were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
Pei Min, the title of Cheng in the imperial history, does not need to be practiced, but there is still substantial power.
The task of the Imperial History Zhongcheng is to impeach the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, with Pei Min's strength and prestige in the court, once the book is impeached, his future is worrying.
Pei Min threw his sleeves away without looking back.
He went out of the assassination palace, raised his horsewhip, and went straight to the governor's mansion.
Zhao Yizhen was waiting for Pei Min's news, and did not go to the mourning hall to mourn.
Since Pei Min reminded him, his heart has been up and down.
According to Yang Jing's statement, it can indeed be exhaustive and almost perfect. But as long as one link goes wrong, it will collapse completely.
If it weren't for the unwillingness to confront Yang Jingshu head-on, he would even have the urge to return to the Chishui Army to change its defenses.
Seeing Pei Min come in, Zhao Yizhen walked up head-on, and wanted to ask, but seeing the other party's angry expression, he couldn't help but be disappointed: "Yang Jingshu didn't even give the face of the Duke of Guo?" ”
Pei Min shook his head and said solemnly: "The situation is much more serious than this, he doesn't dare not give me face, it's just that it's too late." The Turks have invaded, the army has captured the Ming Weishu, and the border defense has been lost. ”
Zhao Yizhen's expression changed instantly, Ming Weishu was the defense line that his Chishui Army was responsible for, Ming Weishu was lost, and he, the envoy of the Chishui Army, could not escape the blame.
He suddenly thought of what Pei Min had said before, as well as the conclusion he had reached before, and said in a lost voice: "Ming Weishu is lost, doesn't that mean that the entire defense line has collapsed?" ”
Pei Min is relatively calm, he is not very old, but he has experienced a lot of things, and he holds on to it, "There is no news from the front line, it is a mess, but it can be imagined." Now the key is not on the outside, but on the inside. The internal situation is uncertain, and this battle has not to be fought. ”
Zhao Yizhen instantly understood who Pei Min was talking about, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she shouted: "It's too much to deceive people, when is it, what tricks does he want to do?" ”
"How dare he do any tricks, he's just looking for a scapegoat!" Pei Min briefly said what he saw and heard.
Hearing that Yang Jingshu didn't want to meet the enemy, but how to shirk his responsibility, Zhao Yizhen had no morale at all.
Ming Weishu is in charge of him, and he can't run away from this first crime.
This is clearly to play with eggs, Zhao Yizhen only feels that the future is bleak.
Pei Min fell into the well and said: "It's not just you, this crime can't be resisted by one person." Zhehuchen, Cen Yun, the three of you, none of them can run, it's just that who is guilty is bigger and who is smaller. ”
Zhao Yizhen looked at Pei Min strangely and said, "Guogong has an idea to say it directly, so don't talk about it here." The three of us are also the right-hand men of Governor Xue, as the grandson of Governor Xue, how can you see death and not save you? ”
Pei Min smiled: "If you don't say you to death, how dare you disobey?" ”
As he spoke, he said with a straight face: "I'll tell you the truth, I can't be too involved in this matter." Transferring troops beyond one's authority is not a small crime. The light ones are those who lose their official positions and go to work, and the heavy ones are those who raid their homes and exterminate their clans. The key is that regardless of victory or defeat, it is a sin to win and a sin to lose...... You're not the same. Next, Yang Jingshu will definitely command according to his most advantageous way in order to exonerate him. At the level of his troops on paper, the command was given to him, which could be the opponent of the Turks, and it would be completely ruined. If you disobey his orders and do not listen to him, I will secretly command you, and if you lose, you will be punished by one degree, and you will be killed. But if you win, that is, you will be outside, and you will not be affected by your life. Your faults will be much smaller, and even the merits and demerits will be offset, and there may even be a possibility of promotion. ”
Zhao Yizhen looked at Pei Min in a daze.
Pei Min smiled: "I can't gamble with you with the safety of my own family, but my personal life is fine." If you lose, I will die with you, if you win, if the court still wants to be held accountable, it will be simple, and you are welcome to join the ......"
Zhao Yizhen said with a sense of pride in her heart: "Zhao Yizhen has a bad life, where can I use the national government to pay for my life." If he does it under Yang Jingshu, he will be killed sooner or later. It's better to follow the Guogong, Zhao Yizhen is willing to die for the Guogong, and I will say it to the Huchen and Cen Yun, I believe their attitude is the same as mine......"
