On the first day of the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, at the same time that Ma Guangliang went to the east of Changsha City to worship his ancestors on behalf of Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, Ma Yun, the deputy envoy of the Jianghu Jiedu and the deputy envoy of Jingnan Jiedu who was far away in Jiangling, accompanied by Sima Li Xiang of the march, Zhao Pu, Fan Zhen, Wu Ban and others, came to the Confucian Temple that had just been renovated.
In fact, the reason why Ma Yun is reluctant to stay in Jinling is that on the one hand, he is afraid of the rebirth of the Li Tang court, and more importantly, he wants to preside over this great event on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, scholars have been gradually expelled from the center of power and turned into a military dictatorship. The consequence of the dictatorship of the military is that the war is endless, the arrogance of the soldiers drives the generals, and the arrogance of the generals betrays the master, and the world is disturbed one after another, and it is never allowed to interfere in politics. If you want to evaluate the world, it is naturally impossible to leave the martial arts, but if you rely on these martial artists, the tragedy of Tang Mingzong replacing Tang Zhuangzong, Emperor Tang Ming replacing Emperor Tang Min, and Shi Jingjiao replacing Emperor Tang Dynasty again will definitely be repeated.
Therefore, when Ma Yun first went to Nanping and the Jingnan Group began to take shape, Fan Zhen put forward the political slogan of "respecting Kong and Ping thieves". Jack Ma is becoming more and more satisfied with this slogan. To respect Confucius is to advocate education, broadcast benevolence and righteousness, and converge the people's hearts. Governing the country and the world without the support of the scholar class is simply unimaginable. And sacrificing Confucius is a key step in implementing this political slogan. As for the flat thief? Now that the Great Chu is subordinate to the Great Jin Dynasty, then in addition to the Great Jin Dynasty, the rest of the Shu Kingdom, Li Tang, Wu Yue, Southern Han, and even Ma Guangliang, who is jumping up and down in Changsha City, can be called thieves when the time comes. And the wonderful thing is that Ma Yun knows that this Great Jin court is about to play, and if he is strong at that time, he can also call the next usurper Liu Zhiyuan a "thief".
In order to achieve the effect of publicity, it is better to do this show. As soon as Ma Yun left for the west from Jinling, Fan Zhen here immediately mobilized and widely publicized this grand event in the four prefectures of Jingnan. Jingnan students, regardless of age, regardless of knowledge, and regardless of their background, can participate as long as they are willing.
The influence of the Holy Prophet is really not covered. Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the students who came from afar were shouting, and the huge Confucian Temple couldn't hold so many people. After the sacrifice was completed, Ma Yun improvised a passage of Xunzi's "Persuasion of Learning" to the students, promising to be an official with excellent learning skills, and received a warm response from the students. Ma Yun was not only happy, but also did not forget to ask Fan Zhen, Wu Ban and others to properly arrange the suitability of the students to return home.
In the afternoon, in view of the disaster in Guizhou, Xiazhou, and Jingzhou in Jingnan, Ma Yun went to the construction site of Jiangling City and the She Congee Point in the city to inspect it on the spot. In the evening, Ma Yun, accompanied by Li Xiang, went to the Tiger Ben Army camp outside Xicheng to inspect it, and in order to show Jingnan's importance to military power, he was also ready to stay in the barracks.
After meeting with the generals in the army, I had a meal with the soldiers. He had just returned to the tent and was about to discuss in detail with Li Xiang about recruiting displaced people and establishing a new army.
Now Fan quality basically ensures that every household has food, but after all, there is not enough to eat, there is no warm clothing, and each family can only send one strong man to repair the channel and build the city wall, which also makes a labor force idle. Rather than this, it is better to gather these people and let them do some work, first, to train the new army, and second, to prevent these people from not having enough to eat and complaining. After all, people's hearts are insufficient, when there is no food, they want to have something to eat, and when they have something to eat, they want to be able to eat. Jingnan Jiedu made the government stand at the beginning, and it was necessary to prevent the slightest slight.
I saw Li Ergou come in and bow down and say, "Bing Dashuai, Lord Zhao asks to see you." ”
Ma Yun glanced at Li Xiang beside him, and said with a smile: "Please come in, Brother Zhao, he is still here so late, there must be something important." ”
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and then the curtain was lifted, Zhao Pu hurriedly walked in, he didn't have time to bow down, so he said: "Lord, Li Sima, just got an urgent report from Changsha, the day before yesterday, the king was not in good health, and he has ordered the second prince to replace him and preside over the ancestor worship ceremony." As he spoke, he took out a letter in his arms and handed it to Ma Yun.
"What?" Li Xiang asked in a lost voice. This news is really not good news. The national ancestor worship ceremony is not trivial, and if the person who presides over the sacrifice is not the emperor himself, then he will be the future emperor. Could it be that the king of Chu must have made up his mind?
As a typical time-traveling person, Ma Yun can't understand the importance that the ancients attached to ancestral sacrifices.
Seeing Ma Yun's expression of indifference, Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, don't take it lightly." In the past, the king of Chu was afraid of King Wumu's legacy and refused to express his position on the matter of the prince. Whether it is the second prince, or the fourth master of Langzhou, the fifth master of Changsha, or even the seventh and ninth masters, these people are in harmony on the surface, but the competition in private is already in full swing. It's just that the king of Chu is in good health, these things are just sneaky, and no one dares to put them on the surface. However, since the prince broke Nanping, the balance of power in the battle for the throne has been broken, in this case, first Li Jie faked the king's decree, intending to tie the prince to Jinling, and then there were seven masters Wangcheng County to shoot, Zhou Tingzhi greedy ink case, killing three birds with one stone. After that, the second prince and the fifth prince worked together to not only send you to Jinling, but also left a bad impression on the king that he did not listen to the teachings, was stubborn and abnormal, and even had bad intentions. Lord Wang, have you forgotten the turmoil in Changsha City? If it weren't for the fact that the King of Chu valued the Ma clan very much, I'm afraid you would have been in a different place a long time ago! ”
Ma Yun looked like water and didn't speak, but Li Xiang on the side asked coldly: "Brother Zhao, can there be a report on the condition of the prince of Chu." ”
Zhao Pu pouted at the secret letter and said, "It was said that the news from the palace that the King of Chu only occasionally felt cold, and his body was fine. ”
"But even so, this appointment is enough for many ministers who are watching the second prince to lean in the direction of the second prince, and the balance in Changsha has been broken. On the evening of the twenty-ninth of the year, Li Gao met the king and took the prince's past to reorganize the army, and the king had already agreed that the second prince would preside over the rectification of the internal army. ”
Li Xiang's eyes flashed, and he said: "The prince of Chu has been in the country for many years, although he is extravagant, he is not an unknown person. I wonder why the King of Chu made such two wills at this time? ”
Seeing that Zhao Pu was about to speak, Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Brother Zeping, I know what you mean. This is the expression of the king of Chu's decision to make the second prince the prince. However, judging from the current situation, not to mention that the prince is the governor of Jingnan, just look at the Wuping army in Langzhou who has tens of thousands of horses, and the fourth master Ma Xicao, and the Jingjiang army in Guizhou, the ninth master Ma Xiyin, and the strength of the fifth master in the internal army should not be underestimated. ”
After Zhao Pu and Li Xiang said this, Ma Yun immediately understood the current situation, but what should I do now?
Zhao Pu and Li Xiang, who have always been quite resourceful, also hesitated for a while.
What to do?
In the end, the king of Chu tried to test his brothers and sons, or he had the intention to immediately shine as the son of the world. Whatever the consideration, it would be very unwise to move immediately and contact Ma Xixu. In case the King of Chu is deliberately arranged, then the charges of Ma Xicao and Ma Yun plotting against each other can be regarded as settled, and the King of Chu will take the opportunity to weaken the two. Ma Yun said that the four states of Jingnan are basically controlled by his people, but Ma Xixu's Wuping Jiedu Embassy, as long as the King of Chu is alive, he Ma Xixu has no ability to say that his subordinates rebel. If the King of Chu really wants to take the opportunity to weaken the two, it is entirely possible for Ma Xicao to betray Ma Yun and throw himself on the side of the King of Chu again, then Ma Yun would be the best to be the king of Nanping. If you want to achieve great things, how can you only rely on the four states of Jingnan?
But if you don't act, what Zhao Pu said just now is also a very important one, because the king of Chu has not established a son for a long time, and his brothers and sons will inevitably form a party secretly. After all, there are a few ministers involved, and a large number of important ministers are waiting, if Ma Guangliang does not reflect on the matter of Ma Guangliang's ancestors, it will inevitably create a false impression for those neutral ministers: everyone recognizes Ma Guangliang's status as the prince.
Title - in ancient times it was a very important thing, and many ministers supported you or not, depending on whether you had a reputation or not.
Now that Ma Xiyin is too busy to take care of himself due to the harassment of the Han Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not have any reaction to this matter; Ma Xiguang was busy dealing with Ma Guangliang's army, and in order to reach a compromise, Ma Xiguang would not have an opinion on this matter; As for Ma Xicao, this guy is like a fox, there is no real benefit, let him be the first bird, take the chestnut in the fire for others, he will not do it. In the end, Ma Xichong, he is insidious and cunning, he has always been unable to hide, coupled with his weak strength, at this time, he will definitely not come out.
After counting for a long time, Ma Yun himself did not come out, and no one came forward again.
However, the rafters in the early stages have always rotted first.
Ma Yun's face was cloudy, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "No matter what kind of considerations my father has, hey, we can't show this head, come out first, the harm is too great, especially Nanping Xinfu, not financial or military, we can't do without the support of Changsha for the time being." As for Li Tang, although there is an agreement between us, Chen Jue and Feng Yansi are not stupid, what they want is to make our Chu State completely in civil strife. But once we are opposed to the king of Chu, twenty-two states against four states, a fool knows how to choose. Forget it, let's do our own thing, and the opportunity will definitely come. We can't lose the banner of "respecting Kong and Ping Thief", as long as the King of Chu is here, we can't blatantly pull up the rebellion. Righteousness and reputation can't be ignored. ”
"Zun Kong Ping Thief"? Suddenly, Li Xiang's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help laughing. This is Zhao Pu, who also seems to have an understanding. And Ma Yun looked at Li Xiang inexplicably.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Lord Wang, there is a way." ”
Ma Yun was stunned, this kid had been thinking about it for a long time just now, and he was helpless with a bitter melon look, but he actually had an idea in a blink of an eye, he was secretly happy in his heart, and asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”
Li Xiang said with a smile: "While the scholars who worship the Confucian Temple have not left, we can hold a grand ceremony of Confucianism with great fanfare to discuss the idea of Confucian governance." The king of Chu has always emphasized the text, and when he heard this news, he would definitely not have other thoughts in his heart. Holding this grand event of Confucianism can not only greatly improve the prince's connections in the Chu State, but also have the meaning of throwing stones to ask for directions. If my guess is correct, as soon as the news of our grand event comes out, Ma Xicao, the fourth master of Langzhou, will definitely send someone to join in the fun; And the second prince of Changsha will naturally understand the meaning of the prince's move, but the prince has a heavy army, and he has no choice but to do anything about you, he will inevitably feel the importance of military power more, the whole army will inevitably be more severe, and the contradiction between the second prince and the fifth prince will be more prominent. The fifth master is forced to be anxious, and he will inevitably ask for help, so that all the hidden people will have to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and the water in Changsha will be even more turbid. ”
A strong wind blew into the tent, and the candle flame flickered. Li Xiang's method is a clever plan, but there is one point, who will pass on this ceremony of holding the Confucian annual meeting to the king of Chu? Light them up by horses? No, the matter reached the mouths of these people, and the good thing became a bad thing. Ma Xiguang? No, his own power is too strong, as long as he wants to be the king of Chu in his heart, no one will not be afraid of himself, at this critical moment, will Ma Xiguang unite with Ma Guangliang again to frame himself? Once the king of Chu listens to the slander and transfers Ma Yun to Changsha, will he return or not?
Suddenly, Ma Yun's eyes lit up, and he remembered a person, but that person didn't come to Jiangling to die, and he actually had a deep meaning. When he was in Changsha, Ma Yun suggested to the King of Chu that Tuoba Heng be transferred to Jingnan to help him deal with government affairs, but Tuoba Heng refused in person, and he also showed a loyal gesture to the King of Chu, which made the King of Chu a little moved. Now the king of Chu is not happy to see this Tuoba Heng, but it does not mean that Tuoba Heng is completely wrecked, nor does it mean that Tuoba Heng will not be able to see the king of Chu, every year when the king of Chu rewards the ministers, the property given to Tuoba Heng is not much less than that of Li Gao and Xu Zhongya, who are favored.
Ma Yun immediately told Li Xiang and Zhao Pu his thoughts, and the three of them discussed it carefully and determined the specific steps, first sending someone to Yuezhou to tell Shi Wende, and asking him to come forward to invite Song An, a famous hermit and great Confucian in Chu (Shi Wende and Song An are friends), and on the other hand, Zhao Pu personally went to Changsha to secretly meet Tuoba Heng and ask him to write a book. After Zhao Pu entered Changsha, the Jingnan Jiedu Embassy immediately took action to hype up this grand ceremony, and couldn't help but publicize it in Jingnan, and also went to the entire Chu State. The day of the grand ceremony is set on the eighth day of February.
