Huang Daozhou is faintly the leader of Taishan Beidou in the Chinese official group of the DPRK. However, the opinions he said were praised among the civil officials as the words of the old man of the public loyalty to the country and the country, as long as the imperial court adopted it, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses could be summoned between them. But such good words and good policies were ridiculed as scholars' opinions, which was undoubtedly ridiculed by the group.

Everyone began to search for the source of that voice with vicious eyes, and someone had already secretly made up their minds, as long as it wasn't Liang Guogong himself who said this, everyone would go up and beat him together!

The guy who said this earth-shattering remark, in the eyes of countless hatred, Shi Shiran tidied up the robe on his body, and walked out of the ranks of officials of the Nanyue Army with his head held high, but it was not Li Peilin, who was it?

"Listen to what he says, and if he can't say anything, let's all go up and teach him a lesson! Otherwise, with Liang Guogong here, we have to do it badly, once we do it, Liang Guogong will protect the short, and Lord Shoufu will not look good on face! ”

Although Li Peilin was in a high position in the Southern Guangdong military system, he did not have a half-official position in the official system of the Ming Dynasty. At most, he can be regarded as a general, a staff member of Liang Guogong's line or a retainer. However, at present, Emperor Longwu's court is all supported by Liang Guogong's soldiers, horses, money, and grain, so these court decencies cannot be taken care of. Li Peilin also went to the court in a grand manner as a subordinate officer of the Nanyue Army, and made sarcastic remarks about Huang Daozhou.

"This gentleman, what Huang said, if there is anything missing, I hope Mr. will give me some advice." Although Huang Daozhou did not know Li Peilin, as the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty, first, he must maintain the identity and bearing of the prime minister of the current dynasty. Second, for the art of knowing people, he has been up and down for decades, and he also has a lot of experience. Judging from his face, bearing, and demeanor, he judged that the person in front of him must be an extraordinary person in the Nanyue Army. Otherwise, with Li Shouhan's strict governance of the army, how could he let him speak wantonly in front of the court and the Son of Heaven? "It's good! Try the knife on your cronies today, and you can beat the arrogance of this martial artist! ”

"Under Li Peilin, the lord of my family did not abandon it and accepted it as a record room. Handle some miscellaneous tasks such as pen and ink cases for the marshal, in order to preserve the crippled body in the world and leave a little blood for the ancestors. "The internal organizational setup of the Nanyue Army and the title of the officials, in the eyes of the Chinese officials of the DPRK, are like seeing flowers in the fog. Li Peilin deliberately said that his identity was extremely low, and used it to humiliate Huang Daozhou in disguise. This is just like at the Hongmen banquet, rushing into the gate with a sword and a shield, the guards under Xiang Yu's tent couldn't stop him, but Fan Xu, who was knocked to the ground by him, was introduced to Xiang Yu by Zhang Liang, a guy with heavy eyes, and said that he was Liu Bang's coachman, deliberately saying his identity very low, putting you in a very embarrassing situation.

This trick has also been used in modern times. Tang Shengzhi, who was known as the "Monk Army" of his troops, raised troops to drive his old boss, Zhao Hengti, the Hunan overseer, away. Zhao's friend, Wu Peifu, the patrol envoy of the Two Lakes and the "handsome talent", gave an order for Tang Shengzhi to admit his mistake, retire his troops, and give way. However, Xiucai couldn't help it when he encountered the hooligan's hob meat. Tang Shengzhi telegraphed the whole country and fought with Wu Xiucai, "You are the world-famous victorious general Wu Dashuai, and I am a small division commander in Hunan." If you come to beat me, you have fulfilled me. You know, your reputation as a victorious general has won against me, and that's right. If you are not defeated, your reputation will be lost. ”

Today, Li Peilin also uses this hand. You are a scholar of the first rank of the dynasty, and I am just a little person who handles pen and ink miscellaneous things under Li Shouhan's account. Even if you argue me to the fullest, you're not very smart.

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be too humble. The dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden under the marshal's account, and Mr. Yan Zhi is not the Marquis of Liuhou and the Marquis of Huaiyin? Huang Daozhou is also an old fritter who has been crawling for many years, and he is quiet, and politely elevates Li Peilin again.

"I don't know what Mr. Li said, but what he said below is all a scholar's opinion? Shouldn't the Quartet be called upon to raise troops, win food and follow, and use it for the imperial court? ”

"Shousuke-sama is polite. However, Shousuke-sama has been in the center for a long time and is familiar with state affairs. Have you forgotten the deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao when he founded the country? ”

Li Peilin's words suddenly made Huang Daozhou a little confused. "I was talking about his scholarly views just now, why did he suddenly transfer to Emperor Taizu's founding of the country?"

"I don't know which one Mr. Li is talking about?"

"Lord Shoufu, has he forgotten the old things of Wang Baobao, Li Siqi, Zhang Liangbi and others?!"

There was a light smile on the corner of Li Peilin's mouth, and the whole person looked as warm as jade. However, the eyes of this disciple behind Huang Daozhou are no less than a Shura demon with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and chewing human flesh in his mouth.

"This guy! It's a good pen! How did I think of the stories of Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others! ”

Wang Baobao, Zhang Wuji's cheap brother-in-law, his name must have been remembered by anyone who has read the Heaven and Dragon Slayer. However, his true historical role is not just to fiddle with some crossbow pro-army under the tower of Wan'an Temple. This is a figure who even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is called "the strange man in the world", and Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Lan Yu and others at the founding of the Ming Dynasty have all fought against each other. Let's not talk about the results, so as not to cause controversy. But his origin is the so-called "militia" and "volunteer soldiers" raised by the Mongolian aristocracy in the Central Plains to deal with the rebellious Red Turban Army. His adoptive father was not the king of Ruyang, but Chakhan Timur, who was born in the barbarian tribe.

This Chakhan Timur is quite similar to Zeng Guofan. They are all scholars, and this Chakhan Timur also participated in the imperial examination organized by the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately he did not win. However, in the course of the Red Turban Army's uprising, the regular army of the Yuan Dynasty was vulnerable, and Chakhan Timur organized hundreds of local armed forces to confront the Red Turban Army. , and even a success. Soon, the territory of soldiers and horses developed, and when the Yuan Dynasty saw this, they gave them names and official positions. How is it, like Zeng Wenzhenggong? It's all the same, relying on the townspeople to pull up the team. As an aside, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also relied on the 3,000 men and horses who annexed the Donkey Village militia to have his first pot of gold. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to conquer the Ming Dynasty, in addition to relying on the Huaixi military general group to charge into battle, he relied on the Jiangzuo literati group to give him advice. Of course, the so-called literati are naturally village sages.

It's a pity that the success is also a sage, and the defeat is also a sage. The Ming Dynasty has come to this point, and it is naturally inseparable from the vigorous actions of civil officials and village sages.

The Yuan Dynasty also rewarded Wang Baobao's family, and promoted his father and son all the way, starting from his father Li Chahan, a child who was not born, from Daru Huachi, to the right of Shaanxi Province and Shaanxi Xingtai to serve the imperial history, and also knew the Privy Council affairs of Henan. Emperor Yuan Shun Tu Timur relied on Li Chahan very much, and issued an edict ordering him to guard the Guanshan, Jin, and Hebei, and to Fu Han, Chu, Jing, and Xiang, and to do foreign affairs cheaply. Later, he was the political affairs of Zhongshu Pingzhang, the Privy Council of Henan and Shandong, and still acted in Taichung, Shaanxi. With the soldiers divided into the towns of Guanshan, Jingxiang, Heluo, Jianghuai, and the heavy troops are in Taihang, and the camps and banners face each other for thousands of miles. to his adopted son Wang Baobao, he is even more favored. In addition to ordering him to inherit Richard's official ranks, he was also crowned all the way. In the end, he was awarded the position of King of Henan and Prime Minister of Zuo! But how did he deal with Emperor Shun's imperial grace? ”

"A person who is a minister should not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, what about him?"

"He who is a minister should be loyal to the king, and the king has a command, and he should be a sword and a foothold, but what about him?"

"A man who is a minister should be kind to his colleagues and go to the country together to share the worries of the monarch and father, what about him?"

Although the "History of the Yuan" compiled by the Ming Dynasty is rough and full of errors and omissions. However, after all, Wang Baobao's deeds are intertwined with the deeds of the founding heroes, and they are the characters praised by Taizu by name, so they are naturally quite detailed and accurate. The things Li Peilin said were all stains on Wang Baobao. Participated in the power struggle of the royal family, disobeyed the dispatch of Emperor Yuan Shun, and attacked each other with Li Siqi and others.

"Your Majesty, the lessons from the past are not far away. It was because he saw the shortcomings of Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others that he felt it and blurted it out. The minister spoke falsely in the court, and he was out of character, and hoped that His Majesty would give him sin. Li Peilin told the story with facts, and slapped Huang Daozhou's face one after another loudly, making Scholar Huang's face red and white for a while.

"These people are under the rule of Meng Yuan, so they naturally want to open the way for the Son of Heaven." The disciples of the Zodiac Zhou were rotten and tried to use the theory of the Mandate of Heaven to cover up their teachers.

"Bold! In front of Your Majesty, you dare to deceive Your Majesty with the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven! The color on Li Peilin's face changed, and the tone that was originally gentle and slow suddenly changed. The whole person suddenly became as if a sharp blade flew out of the sheath, trying to devour blood.

"The four towns in Jiangbei, as well as the general Zuo Liangyu's department, which one is not deeply favored by the country and receives military salaries, grain, grass and equipment from my lord?! Then why did he see that the Qing army did not fire a single arrow, he immediately surrendered, not only for the Qing army to fight for the tiger, for him to conquer the city, but also to rob the first emperor Luan to drive north. It makes the society dusty, and the clan hates. Could it be that this is the destiny of your mouth?! ”

Li Peilin's remarks, both positive and negative examples were listed for everyone present. You said that you want the village sages to raise volunteers, and the court will give you a nominal official position. Okay, I'll let you see what these volunteers look like after they lose their tails, what examples of Wang Baobao and Li Siqi are in front of you, you can't pretend not to see them, right?

Even if you pretend not to see the story of the previous dynasty, okay, then I'll show you what's in front of you. In the four towns of Jiangbei, Zuo Liangyu's troops, isn't that the army holding the imperial court salary and waving the banner of the Ming court? But what can be done? As soon as he turned his face, he shaved his hair and became a Qing soldier.

Li Peilin's words undoubtedly sounded a series of thunderbolts in Emperor Longwu's ears. "That's right! Looking at the world now, who else can be as loyal to me as Liang Guogong? If you are only loyal to me and loyal to Emperor Hongguang, it will be enough, but the general has been a piece of Dan since the time of Emperor Chongzhen! ”

"Now, the minister dares to assert that among the soldiers and horses in various places, only our Nanyue army can confront the Qing soldiers in the south. It is also the only one whose Nanyue army will not surrender to the Qing army. Because, my lord is loyal to the great tomorrow, loyal to the Han family under the three-foot sword of Emperor Taizu Gao, and my Nanyue Army is the only one who obeys the orders of my lord! ”

In the end, Li Peilin has walked tens of thousands of miles in the wind and waves, and has been with Huang Taiji and Dolgon, and his grasp of people's psychological activities and the emperor's mental skills can be described as perfect. From some subtle changes in Zhu Yujian's face and hands, he guessed Zhu Yujian's inner thoughts at this moment. When even the passionate and generous words spoke. However, if you listen carefully, you will find that between the two sentences of loyalty to the great emperor and loyalty to the Han family, Li Peilin's tone and tone are still different.

"Wouldn't the Qing soldiers lure the general with high-ranking officials?" Mao Yujie was a little unwilling, and rushed out to play the role of a-stirring stick and a blowtorch.

"This lord, you must be a character who was born on the right path and is familiar with the subset of scriptures and histories." Li Peilin began to dig holes for his opponents.

"No, exactly. The so-called Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Ercao. Everything is inferior, but reading is high. It is the cold window that has been studied hard for many years to have today. ”

"Then presumably Mr. "Mr. Zizhi Tongjian" compiled by Sima Zi is also familiar with it?"

As soon as Li Peilin said this, Huang Daozhou secretly shouted in his heart, "Not good!" He immediately reacted, and this Li Peilin on the other side was going to use Sima Guang's words to slap the Chinese official in the face.

Sure enough, Li Peilin recited aloud the classic fragment of Sima Guang who smashed the cylinder. Quan knew what he meant, and said with his hand: "What do you want to say?" Su said: "To inspect the opinions of the people, I want to mistake the general, and I am not enough to do big things." Today, Su can welcome the ear, such as the general can't. Why? Today, Su Yingcao, Cao should be returned to the township party, and his name and position are not lost, and he still does not lose his Cao engagement, taking the calf car, from the officials, and handing over the Shilin, so the tired officials do not lose the state and county. The general welcomes the exercise, and what do you want to do? May you make a big plan as soon as possible, and don't use everyone's also! "Now my lord is already a general, the Duke of Liang Guo, a high-ranking official, and a very popular minister. If the thief wants to persuade my lord to surrender, what price should he pay? ”

"Crowned the official of my lord? Could it be that Dorgon, the slave chieftain, will be able to give up his royal father, the regent, to my lord? Even if he is willing, my lord may not be willing to be the cheap old man of the puppet Qing Emperor Fulin Xiao'er! ”

(Li Peilin never expected that the so-called one sentence would become a prophecy.) His crow's beak in the court today made Li Shouhan face a problem that was not embarrassing or embarrassing in the future. However, the development of the situation still forced Li Shouhan to pinch his nose and admit it! ）

"With money? Joke! Just now, my lord has already dedicated Longwu Ingot and Longwu Tongbao to His Majesty. Since the first emperor Chongzhen, the coins minted by the imperial court of my lord have been popular for their exquisite appearance and good quality, not only the people of the Great Tomorrow are happy to use them, but also overseas countries are also very welcome! It is reported that among the Qing soldiers, they were also quite willing to use these silver dollars and tongbao. Who has more money than my father-in-law? ”

Li Peilin still had a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly glanced at the civil officials present with his eyes: "But my lords, I heard that the former Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou, after betraying the lord and ungrateful to surrender to the Qing, gave advice to Dolgon, and lured the shameless people among the Ming officials to rebel against the Qing. What original post to stay in, keep family wealth, what meritorious person in the original position plus three levels and so on. This is the scene of officials from all over the country descending from the wind, demoting officials like a tide, and descending generals like hair! ”

"When our Nanyue army was in Songjiang Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, and Gannan Province, when it fought with the Qing soldiers, every time there were captured officers and soldiers, they were all officers and soldiers before our Ming Dynasty. This generation was incorruptible and shameless, surrendered to the Qing soldiers, and turned the muzzle of the gun to act as a pawn of the slave thief. ”

"So, my lords, if you keep saying that your fellow villagers, fellow villagers, fellow disciples, and colleagues write a letter to persuade you to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, telling you that as long as you surrender, what will happen, do you dare to say that you are not tempted?!"

Li Peilin's words fell like a cannon like raindrops, hitting the officials present as if they were all earthy. The weak-hearted one couldn't help but clench his teeth quietly, "How did this guy know that someone from the north wrote to me?" Could it be that he has the ability to predict the future? Wrong! It must have been someone Li who planted eyeliner in the dark in my house to spy on my righteous people and gentlemen! ”

"Mr. Li is really a good means! Good argument! Even Su Qin and Zhang Yi and He Lu Jia Li will also bow to Mr. The gentleman only talked about others, but he never mentioned his own family! Cai Chunrong stood up with a sneer.

"Mr. Li depreciated the policy of encouraging the soldiers and people in various places to train volunteers as useless, so why did he look at the anti-Qing volunteers in Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi and other places differently? I also heard that in Shandong alone, the general sent Xie Qian and others a notebook, gave official documents, and soldiers and horses prepared food and pay equipment to help them in every possible way. Somehow, so favoritism? Could it be that the marshal has a natural aversion to reading?! ”

Xie Qian, Shandong, after the uprising, repeatedly fought against the Qing soldiers, and repeatedly defeated the soldiers and horses of Zhanglinghu, Wu Fengxian and others who came to encircle and suppress, and recovered dozens of large and small towns, relieving the pressure on Lu Mahong, Wu Xing and others. In order to enable the rebel armies in Shandong, Hebei and other places to support themselves, Li Shouhan tried his best to issue a number to them and provide them with food and equipment. He also announced that you would be the governor of the place where you reclaimed.

For a time, "Jinan Mansion was defeated, and Shandong was the governor." "Lay down Qingjiangpu, I am the master of the two Huai!" Such slogans spread among the rebel armies between Huang and Huai and became a sharp weapon to boost morale.

"You rotten! Hugh to put the cart before the horse! That Xie Qian and others first started to kill the Tartars, and then recovered the lost territory, and then our Nanyue Army tried every means to receive food and salaries and give them official titles. How to resemble what you say about the so-called loyal and righteous people! What you are talking about is that you want the local tyrants and inferior gentry to have a fig leaf, and the imperial court will give you food and equipment, and train your private soldiers, so as to achieve your ulterior purpose! ”

Zheng Zhilong's thunderstorm was also like a burst of reprimands, which suddenly quieted the court.
