Seeing Wang Rong returning to his position, Xiao Zhen said: "Wang Qing has already spoken, it is better to tell everyone your opinion." ”

Wang Rong thanked him and said: "When the former envoy borrowed the book, His Majesty ordered the ministers to discuss the matter, and most of them thought that it was better not to borrow it. Seeing this, the minister was puzzled. According to the captivity of China, starting from the Xia Shang, the Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin to the present, hanging for more than 2,000 years, with its nature is as cunning as a wolf, the face of the beast, the virtue of the world, although the way of the saint and embarrassed to educate. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China's divisions have been counted, and the internal and external six Yi are afraid and bowed, dare not disobey, and know the strength of China. So Qunyi begged for the envoy to forget about the Tao and awarded the honor for Defeng. ”

"Although these captives are subservient on the outside, they are really suspicious and forbearant in their hearts. The verbal flattery is just to cover up their wolf ambitions. At the end of the Western Dynasty, the Jin family suffered from the disaster of the king, and the Central Plains became a boiling trend, and Qunyi thought that the time had fallen, and the phase rate drove the north and south of the river, so China was shaken, and the war was raging. ”

"Although there are things in the crowd, their cruelty and cruelty are natural. Since entering the Central Plains, under the false trust of the mandate of heaven, he has successively usurped the throne and claimed the title of emperor, and gradually governed the Chinese people with Chinese laws, so that he could compete with Jiang Zuo. Xianbei Tuoba Department, originally out of the territory, moved to Mobei at the end of the Han Dynasty. Wuhu miscellaneous internal invasion, Tuoba is the last part, so it is the least affected by the Chinese style, and it is also the most ferocious and untamable. At the time of Yuanjia, Wang Shi made two northern expeditions, only because the army of the captive chief Tuoba Buddha was very strong at that time, and Wang Shi returned in vain. In the first year of Tai, the border ministers rebelled, and Qingzhou in Huaibei fell again. All these things can be seen and hasty, and they cannot be eliminated in a hurry. The ministers thought that if they wanted to recover the old land, they would only need to take the armor soldiers as the priority, and what they wanted was very difficult. Now the captive lord has asked for classics, implemented the old law, and made the north and south complete the literary track. If you can give them to them, it is a feasible way to turn razing into summer. ”

"In the past, when Xianbei first entered China, the people had to cling to them because they were afraid, but the old law was still used for weddings and funerals. At first, the Xianbei people also had a sense of entering the enemy country because of their small number of people and the fact that they were all Chinese, so they used severe punishment to rule the people and killed them at every turn, and the scholars were afraid and had to join them to serve them. After that, the time went by, the Xianbei people were scattered, and the Huayi miscellaneous places gradually dyed with Chinese wind, and there were Rui Rui Rouran in the north, and there were groups of Hu in the west, and the border people fled more than once, and the situation was as dangerous as a tired egg. The people of Qing, Yan, and Huaibei were originally narrowed by the captives because of the military disaster, and they were conscripted by them. Over the years, due to the inability to recruit people from the south, there has been an endless stream of refugees. If they can give them the book, so that the Han family ritual is far away to the clouds, generations, and return to Hangu, as for Luoxia, so that in time, there is no need to see the soldiers of the court, and the people are willing to eat pot pulp, and they can hope enough to turn against each other. ”

"And the Northern Capture Zhu Tuoba Note has a warlike habit, do not like to study, these people have been in the old position of their relatives for a long time, but they have no talent to govern the country, so most of the officials who are close to the people are not their clan. Shi Bao such as Feng Jinguo Feng Xi, favored such as Li Sichong Li Chong, are not Xianbei party, but Qi Xinzhi authority and important positions, the rest such as You Minggen, Zheng Xi, Cui Guangzhi's disciples are originally or for Hebei, not with the same party. If the classics of this dynasty flow north, the poetry and history are far away from the county, how can Feng and Li's disciples not respect it, then the Tuoba relatives will be sideways and obstructed. Tuoba Xianbei is shooting and hunting, and he is in a leather robe. If they are asked to go to the leather robe and wear the red clothes, abandon the fur hat and wear the Xuan crown, and restrain their pace with ancient etiquette, the nature of going is to tie their feet and dance, fear the ice in the abyss, and stay away from their old customs, far away from the wind, Feng Li's disciples are proud, how can the Xianbei and fierce prisoners be willing to obey? When they are nostalgic for the old customs and full of anger in their hearts, they will naturally compete with each other to draw their swords and kill each other. At that time, the current dynasty raised troops again, and Bian Zhuangzi could get the effect of stabbing the tiger. Why can't the world be worried? ”

"In the past, Jin Xiangong offered thorns and horses, and finally obtained Yu and Yu, and Qin Huiwenjun offered golden bulls, and finally obtained Ba and Shu. When the world is decided, His Majesty will seal Zen in Mount Tai, submit to Yi, and Luo will receive books, so that the territory and the old classics will be both. Your Majesty has nothing to lose, and the four seas are unified. Isn't it beautiful! ”

After saying this, Wang Rong was out of breath, his face was not red, and he looked at Xiao Rong with a little eagerness, just waiting for the emperor to say, "Okay!" ”

Xiao Zhen didn't say yes, but said: "Wang Qing's words, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Xiao Luan said: "Wang Rong's strategy is generally reasonable, but it is always the conjecture of a scholar. The north has been hypocritical for a hundred years, and it has all been Henan and Hebei, and its potential can be described as the solidity of Mount Tai. Wang Rong said that Rui Rui, several defeats, although now there is the intention of captivity, but it is no longer enough, otherwise how can it be thousands of miles to ask for help from this dynasty, as for the people of Xihu, last year Xiu Liumao Fu even planned to kill Qiu Guanxian, how can there be the heart of a vassal? The minister had three questions, and asked His Majesty to allow Wang Zhongshu to answer. ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhen said

Xiao Luan looked at Wang Rong and asked, "If you follow Wang Zhongshu's policy, when will you see results?" In the past, the Qin State mutated customs, abandoned the rites and religions, and used cool methods, and it took more than ten years before and after three times to see results. Do you want the imperial court to wait for more than ten or even decades? ”

"Second, if this policy could not cause civil strife in the northern captives, and the imperial court lent the classics, the northern captives would be more deeply entrenched and the cause of the Northern Expedition would be more difficult. When the time comes, how many people will have enough meat for you? ”

"Three, since it is said that Rui Rui and Xihu, if they follow the plan of the king's book, everything will go smoothly, and the northern captives will be in chaos. If Rui Rui and Xihu also took the opportunity to commit an internal crime, what should I do? Can Wang Zhongshu have a good strategy to retreat from these two enemies? ”

Wang Rong saw that Xiao Luan deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of his words first, so he was a little anxious, he didn't mean to go to Rui Rui and Tugu Hun to collude, after all, Yin Jian was not far away, and the Western Jin Dynasty was in front of him, how could he raise the opinion of recruiting captives. His original intention was only to borrow books to make the northern captives change and kill each other. Moreover, his attention is only in Beiyu, how can he accurately estimate the general trend of the world, and it is impossible for ancient and modern wise men to think of ten steps in one step. In the past, when Zhuge Wuhou Longzhong offered advice, he said that he wanted to fight with Sun Quan and take Yizhou, how could he have thought that Sun Quan would attack Jingzhou? Xiao Luan deliberately embarrassed him.

"Your Majesty, the minister's strategy is far-reaching, but it has a visible effect. Xiao Servant asked, and the minister thought that everything was man-made, and it was enough to do it. In the past, Qin Xiaogong ignored the obstruction of his old ministers and used Shang Ying as his prime minister, making Qin stronger than the Six Kingdoms and unified. Could this be foreseeable by Qin Xiaogong? ”

Of course, Wang Rong is not a god, and it is impossible to give Xiao Luan a well-prepared answer, so he found a slightly soothing statement,

Xiao Luan turned his head and no longer looked at Wang Rong, and said to Xiao Rong: "Military affairs are always planned in the temple, and they are only done when they are sure." Wang Rong's strategy is to regard Beiyu as a puppet in his hands, and let him drag it, which is really unconvincing. Your Majesty, the Northern Captives are now in full force, and they can only wait for the time to slow down, if they use the book to make the Northern Captives know the way of public order in China, so as to appease the people and harmonize the four people, the cause of the Northern Expedition will be even more difficult. ”

Xiao Zhen didn't answer, but was silent, and said after a while: "Let's discuss this matter in the court tomorrow!" ”

The matter of borrowing books is a big matter, otherwise it wouldn't have been done two years ago, and he would have to discuss it with the courtiers again.

After everyone left, Xiao Zhen stayed in Dongzhai for a while, walked out of the temple gate and was about to go to Shouchang Palace, but saw a yellow door confessor come in, holding a sparse watch in his hands.

Huang Men stepped forward and presented the table and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Taichang Qing is doing, and He Taichang is waiting for the order outside the gate." ”

Xiao Zhen took the table, looked at the beginning, and found that the table was not He Dian, but Liu Yingmei, the Jun of Dongchang County.

"Go and call him to come in and see me." With that, Xiao Zhen turned around and entered the hall. 11
