Chapter 148: Strange Case 3

This Shu Emperor Meng Chang didn't know if he was too stupid or too smart, he not only guarded against Da Zhou, but also against Da Chu. What increase in troops to return to the state, what garrison in Jinzhou, as long as it is on the border between Chu and Shu, what is the wind and grass in Chu can always stir up the embankment of the emperor of Shu. The correspondence between Ma Yun and Meng Chang is extremely frequent.

This is the aftermath of the First World War in Bianjing. On the surface, Han, Chu, and the Three Kingdoms jointly crusaded against the Great Zhou, and secretly, the Khitans, another big country, also sent troops, but the armies of the four countries were defeated by the Great Zhou successively. The Chu army, which was known as undefeated, was beaten to the point that it lost its armor, and even the emperor Ma Yun was completely carried inside. All this, the state of Chu seemed to be like no one, but it scared Meng Chang of Shu half to death, and secretly sent people to Bianjing to ask for peace with the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei.

At that time, it was already Guo Rong's turn for the Great Zhou Emperor. With the strength of Shu alone, it was impossible to get on the table in the struggle for hegemony among the countries, and tens of thousands of Shu troops were driven back to Sichuan by thousands of Zhou soldiers like they wanted to drive sheep. Guo Rong didn't look down on Shu at all, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many wars, the army was tired, and Shu was next to the behemoth of Chu to help, Guo Rong would have to clean up Meng Chang a long time ago. Seeing that Meng Chang had written a letter and was preparing to develop himself as a pen pal, Guo Rong originally had no opinion, but when he opened the letter, a sword eyebrow was suddenly twisted together.

This Meng Chang has been the leading brother for more than ten years, and he has done too many things to command, so he doesn't pay much attention to the wording of this letter, and he does say a lot of polite words, but it makes people feel that his politeness is a fake politeness, and he still instructs himself to do that in his bones, as if this "peace" is rewarded by Meng Wei. Guo Rong is different from Ma Yun, he is essentially an arrogant person, when he reads the letter, he smiles at the corner of his mouth and throws it away.

In this way, Meng Chang also lost his temper, you are a forked one, when Lao Tzu was the emperor, your surname Guo didn't know which horn he was mixed in, you ignore me, and I don't care about you. So, Meng Chang also put Guo Rong aside. It stands to reason that Meng Chang was angry with Guo Rong, and he should continue to fall into the arms of Da Chu and continue to move forward on the same warship, but Meng Chang is not like this, he may feel that Da Chu's ship is not so stable, and it is better to call himself the king behind closed doors. As a result, the movement of the Chu army on the border between the two countries always allowed Meng Chang to send someone to question. At this point, Ma Yun is a bit of a bogeyman and in a dilemma. Chu Jun could only watch Meng Chang break the jar and break it, and entertain himself in the land of abundance.

But today, Zhao Pu's words really moved Ma Yun. This thing seems to be a bit of a "helping others", but if Da Chu really controls the government affairs of Kuizhou like this, and really uses troops against Shu in the future, it will really open the door to convenience.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun finally nodded and agreed with Zhao Pu's opinion, so he waited for the approval in August and decided the matter in the autumn. As for Tuoba Heng's questioning, Xu Zhongya finally stood up and said: "Shu is not in a hurry, why should I have a quarrel with Da Chu first?" ”

This sentence is very modest, there is a lot of "the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry", the countries involved in the case have not expressed their opinions, let's argue about what he does? In case people in Shu treat it as if there is no one, let's discuss it so anxiously, isn't it a joke. Then, Xu Zhongya said: "However, it has been 5 years since the promulgation of the Great Chu Law, and there is really nothing to find fault with the law of Gu Tianzhong's case. Regardless of whether Shu is in trouble or not, if we rashly accuse Gu Tianzhong, it will inevitably make people question the laws of Great Chu, which is not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of our Great Chu. ”

As soon as Xu Zhongya said this, it showed that Lord Shoufu had closely followed the emperor's will and stood on Zhao Pu's side, and he had raised this topic to a higher level. You reprimanded Gu Tianzhong for not handling the case right, isn't that an allusion to the Great Chu Law that he solemnly promulgated, something went wrong? Therefore, don't say that Shu is silent, even if Shu is not happy and goes to Jinling to negotiate and make trouble, Da Chu cannot retreat.

The emperor spoke, and the first assistant minister began to take sides. The handling of this incident has also become clear. Under the special historical conditions at this stage, Gu Tianzhong's approach is obviously meritorious. However, Gu Tianzhong does not do things in accordance with the rules, if the local people are like him and make their own decisions about everything, then the authority of the central government has really been seriously challenged. Ma Yun didn't feel tired about this matter, he first issued an order to reprimand Gu Tianzhong for being in a hurry to succeed and soliciting the people's measures, there were mistakes, which gave the lawbreakers an opportunity to take advantage of, and the edict did not mention this case at all; Then he issued another decree, saying that this Gu Tianzhong does things according to the law, dares to do things, and eliminates harm for the people, and is worthy of being a parent official. The two decrees are one before the other, and the content is one depreciation and one praise, and the charm is insignificant.

Just finished discussing this unexpected topic, before Ma Yun could put the meeting back on track and discuss cavalry affairs. Tuoba Heng bowed again, and said: "The minister still has the book, the minister impeached the king of Xiangyin for getting involved in commerce, chaotic market, extravagance, and extravagance, which advocates the style of luxury, and the joy of leading, the impact is extremely bad, if it is not reprimanded, I am afraid that after more than ten years, the food, clothing, housing and housing actions of the Great Chu will be wasted, and the scholars will be nostalgic for the land of wind and snow, and the people will inevitably suffer from a hundred kinds of exploitation, and the Huanghuang Great Chu will inevitably sink. ”

Ma Yun is very strict with the royal family, and Ma Yun really knows everything about Ma Xicao's going to the sea to do business. Not only that, Ma Yun also appreciated Ma Xicao's spirit of self-reliance very much, and within the scope of his duties, he also let people open the door to Ma Xicao's caravan. How can it be said from Tuoba Heng's mouth that it is not the same thing at all?

Ma Yun blinked and looked at his Tuoba master, to be honest, he was completely convinced by this Tuoba master now. Tuoba Heng is really a strong point, as long as he doesn't like anything, he dares to say it; He scolded and impeached anyone. The Great Chu Imperial Court needs such a person, and it needs such a powerful deterrent figure.

This Tuoba Heng has just impeached Gu Tianzhong as an international policeman, and now he has impeached Ma Xicao as an international master, but in this matter, you can't say that Tuoba Heng is doing something wrong, what people are doing is discipline inspection. The greater the number of impeachments, the more diligent the person is. Besides, Tuoba Heng's people are not like mad dogs who open their mouths and bite indiscriminately, after all, they have verified the situation.

However, due to the nature of Tuoba Heng's work, he still didn't have many friends among the ministers, and he was basically a lonely minister. But then again, this is also normal, after all, people are animals with seven emotions and six desires. After all, there are few people who can really do "only the right thing and not the right person". You see, Fan Zhen was still standing on Tuoba Heng's side just now, speaking fair for Tuoba Heng, but when he heard the content of Tuoba Heng's impeachment, Fan Zhen was the first to jump out and oppose it: "Your Majesty, the ministers thought that this matter, as soon as the king of Xiangyin was far away in Khitan, the ministers did not know the specific beginning and end; Second, this matter is only limited to this case, and there is no suspicion of spreading, and Lord Tuoba's words are a bit alarmist! ”

Tuoba Heng quit, he said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. If it really waits for the extravagance to spread all over the world, it will not be a matter that can be solved by just one holy decree! Your Majesty, please think again. What's more, if someone else does it, it's fine. The prince of the dignified country has done such a businessman's business, which will inevitably greatly damage the majesty of the royal family! ”

Tuoba Heng's words once again prove that everyone can sing this high-profile song. Tuoba Heng put the "royal majesty" on the table, so that Fan Zhen and others inevitably had to ponder and refute in their hearts. They are not Tuoba Heng, and they don't dare to speak in the "Tuoshi" style, so explicit, if they provoke the emperor Long Yan to be angry, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Ma Yun is a small sapling born in New China, growing up under the red flag and thriving in the spring breeze of reform. There is an innate affection for measures to invigorate the economy and for hard work to get rich. In addition to himself and Ma Guangmeng, the old Ma family finally came out with another talent, which can't be easily erased. If the business is done well, that is also the ability, if it is not for Da Chu's business to do well, then there can be a good life today. Won't the states in Huaibei cause a burden to Dachu?

Ma Yun said with a smile: "What Lord Tuoba said is very true, but what? Time, fate, and luck, the situation is different, and you can't generalize it all. The items purchased by the King of Xiangyin are indeed luxury goods, and they are not fake. However, this luxury did not circulate in our Dachu, but was exported to the Khitan country. This... Even if this is advocating extravagance, it is not on the territory of our Dachu, so that the Khitan people are extravagant and extravagant, forgetting the hardships of their ancestors' entrepreneurship, it is not a good thing! ”

Zhao Pu glanced at Ma Yun, who was smiling, and then looked at Tuoba Heng, and said secretly in his heart: Today, the old Tuoba is going to lose face, just reported Gu Tianzhong, so that Gu Tianzhong got the name of a capable minister, and now he is reporting the King of Xiangyin, looking at the emperor's meaning, I appreciate the practice of the King of Xiangyin very much.

Tuoba Heng didn't care at all, and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, the world is not peaceful, but it can't be the officials who are angry, the people are incontinent, and the ministers think it's better to standardize a little, otherwise the people of the world will follow suit, and in a few years, Dachu will be poor!" ”

Tuoba Heng is very entangled, Ma Yun looked out the window, the warm sun was shining, and he was entangled with Tuoba Heng like this, he was busy this afternoon, and he couldn't talk about military affairs at all. Originally, today's convening of important ministers was to coordinate the relationship between the six ministries of the three provinces and the Privy Council, and to concentrate on building up the cavalry troops quickly and well. Well, let this Tuoba Heng seize the opportunity to impeach officials constantly. Besides, one piece is relaxed, and the way of civil and military affairs is also. It's not good to always discourage Tuoba Heng's enthusiasm.

So, Ma Yun asked: "In Aiqing's opinion, how should I deal with it?" ”
