"This path," Cao Yuying said slowly, "It's really difficult to walk, but since Xinyou, how many measures taken by the imperial court, in the eyes of the world, are all difficult, even incredible, but in the end, it finally walked down step by step?" ”

After a pause, "For example, the prince led the Xuan army to cross the ocean to quell the rebellion against the United States - at that time, I don't know how many people thought that our soldiers had the ability and qualifications to compete with foreigners?" How many people think that the country is in turmoil, and the most elite army is sent abroad to fight for foreigners, isn't it...... Too out of place? ”

After another pause, "For example, reforming the Eight Banners, buying out the age of the banner, and running the Northeast - at the beginning, I don't know how many people thought that this was really a fool's dream - in the world, how could anyone be willing to give up a piece of money and grain to ensure the harvest of drought and flood, run outside the customs, callouse their hands and feet, and start all over again?" ”

Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "Zhuoru's words are very arrogant, which makes me ashamed!" ”

sighed, nodded, and said, "Indeed, without the trip to the United States back then, the Xuan Army would not be what it is today!" As for the 'Eight Banners of Reform'—"

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly wryly, "The establishment of the Shenji Battalion is actually for the purpose of 'reforming the Eight Banners', but it turns out that this path is completely wrong!" ”

He looked at Guan Zhuofan, "The way of the prince is the right one-put to death and then live!" No grinding, no quenching, no form! ”

Guan Zhuofan praised: "Bochuan, 'no grinding, no quenching, no form' - these nine words, very good!" ”

However, although Wen Xiang admitted that the path of the Shenji Battalion was "completely wrong", it did not mean that he had no reservations about the path of "returning to the flag". Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"The crime involved in the Shenji Battalion," Xu Gengshen spoke, "It is a big crime of rebellion and rebellion, originally, it should have been a big prison and a poor party member, but now, the relevant people, etc., are to blame, but 'return to the flag', this is the benevolence of the 'above', the magnanimity of the prince, the 'related people, etc.', hehe, in fact, it has made a lot of money, if it must be satisfied with 'returning to the camp', and resentment against 'returning to the flag', it is inevitable...... It's so unknowing. ”

The reason is that the so-called "related people" are not thirty or fifty people, but more than 30,000 people, and the vast majority of them are actually innocent and affected.

Wen Xiang was silent.

Guo Songtao coughed lightly and said, "I think the metaphor of the 'rotten peach' of the prince is very reasonable. At the beginning of the creation of Shenji Camp Grass, it was also a basket of fresh peaches, but later, too many 'rotten peaches' came in, and as time went by, the whole basket of peaches was all rotten! ”

After a slight pause, "That's it-the key is that no matter how rotten the peaches are in the basket of the Shenji Battalion, they will only rot in their own baskets, and after the cut, if they 'return to the camp', then there will be 'rotten peaches' in all the Beijing camps!" In time, will the Beijing battalions repeat the mistakes of the Shenji Battalion, and the whole basket will become 'rotten peaches'? ”

"That's right!" Xu Gengshen said, "This is like being sick!" In the words of foreigners, it is ...... 'contagion'! ”

Wen Xiang secretly smiled bitterly, thinking that this is what you are worried about - it's not that the illness of "rotten peaches" won't pass over to fresh peaches, but how many fresh peaches can there be in the camps in Beijing? If all the Beijing camps are fresh peaches, why bother to get a magic machine camp out in the first place? At present, the Jingying and the Shenji Battalion, the eldest brother and the second brother, are each other, and no one is better than the other.

However, this meaning is very difficult to phrase, Wen Xiang is thinking about how to euphemistically say it clearly, Cao Yuying spoke, her face solemn:

"Uncle Xing and Yun Gong reminded me! There is one thing, if it is not handled properly, it will hinder the overall situation, and the trouble will be far-reaching, and we seem to be negligent! ”

What's the matter?

The other four, including Guan Zhuofan, saw Cao Yuying so solemn, and they all turned their eyes to him.

"Uncle Xing just said," Cao Yuying said, "The personnel of the Shenji Battalion who have been laid off may have a grudge against the 'return to the flag', but in fact, whether it is 'returning to the camp' or 'returning to the flag', the people who have been laid off must be 'resentful'!" ”

It's-

"No matter which Beijing camp," Cao Yuying continued, "Forward, Jianrui, Firearms, Xiaocai...... Although the salary is not as generous as the Shenji Battalion, the opportunities for promotion and promotion are far less than that of the Shenji Battalion - otherwise, why do so many people, including many clans and Jueluo, have to work hard to drill the camp, and they must enter the Shenji Camp as the fastest? ”

"Not bad!" Xu Geng said, "Back then, the saying 'ghosts sent gods' was true! ”

"Ghost envoy" refers to working in the Yamen Yamen of the Prime Minister's National Affairs - the Chinese people call Westerners "foreign devils", and dealing with "foreign devils" is a "ghost envoy"; "Shenji", as the name suggests, refers to being on an errand in the Shenji Camp.

"Don't talk about the 'ghost messenger'," Cao Yuying said, "What kind of role the 'divine mission' is, everyone knows it, I doubt it, even if it is 'returning to the camp', can this class of 'divine messenger' really be able to appreciate it, this is the benevolence of the heavens and the magnanimity of the prince of the 'above'?" ”

After a slight pause, "I'm afraid, all they think of and see is that their golden rice bowl has been smashed and replaced with a mud retort!" - In this way, with the character of this group of people, how can they not be resentful? ”

"It's as it says!" Guo Songtao nodded and said, "Moreover, if you are resentful for a lifetime, you will not only be resentful, but you will be afraid-"

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that something was in the way, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "Yunxian, before the discussion, let's talk about it - know everything, say everything." ”

"Yes!" Guo Songtao nodded, "I mean-'Shencha' must think that the golden rice bowl was given by the king of alcohol, and the mud and tile retort was changed by Prince Xuan, and the resentment is born, and then it is about to go down, sowing tongue, making rumors, shouting grievances for the king of alcohol, slandering, and slandering...... Prince Xuan! ”

Wen Xiang's heart was shocked, and his complexion changed slightly.

"Yun Gong is absolutely right!" Cao Yuying said, "Although it is said that rumors stop at the wise, but how many wise people can there be in this world? It's really - rumors can kill! ”

"Not bad!" Xu Gengshen said, "Yin Jian of the Yongzheng Dynasty is not far away, is it possible that when the time comes, will the prince also write a book of "The Mystery of Great Righteousness"? ”

Sejong's reform and governance of officials hurt the gentleman Lin very much, and he is a fierce and ruthless person, I don't know how many people are "resentful" under him? In particular, the Yinyu and Yinyu parties, which lost the political struggle, are the second bones.

This group of people who are dissatisfied with the authorities have created many bizarre rumors to slander and slander Sejong. However, Sejong is a narrow-minded person, and he was depressed and indignant about these rumors, and finally wrote a book of "The Mystery of Great Righteousness" to refute them one by one.

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "I don't have the courage of Emperor Shizongxian, and I have a pen and ink lawsuit with the National People's Congress of the world. ”

Xu Gengshen sighed: "Emperor Shizongxian is too persistent, these rumors are actually indistinguishable - not to mention anything else, as soon as "The Mystery of Great Righteousness" came out, those who didn't know about these rumors knew it!" ”

"Yes!" Guo Songtao said, "Otherwise, Emperor Gao Zongchun would not have issued an order to take back the "Great Righteous Jue Mystery Record" and destroy it all. ”

"Rumors are like sickness," Cao Yuying said, "one 'infection' is uncontrollable!" Gong Yun just used the prince's 'fresh peach' and 'rotten peach' to metaphorize the 'return to the camp' of the Shenji camp, although it was incisive, it didn't talk about the rumors in the end, plus this layer, I think, the 'fresh peach' rots faster, and——"

After a pause, "The 'forward team' belongs to the forward battalion, and the peaches of the forward battalion are rotten, this sickness probably can't stop at the forward battalion, it must be overflowing and poisonous!" ”

After another pause, "And, beyond the rumors—"

Speaking of this, his face became more and more solemn, "I'm afraid that some people are not willing to stop splashing dirty water, and secretly, they have to go up and down, and do something - stumbling, or even ...... Stab the knife! ”

Everyone's heart was shocked.

Guan Zhuofan pondered for a moment and looked at Wen Xiang: "Bochuan, what do you think of what Zhuoru, Uncle Xing, and Yunxian said?" ”

Wen Xiang was stunned for a while, and said slowly: "What Zhuoru, Uncle Xing, and Yunxian said are all facts, and I can't distinguish them, but——"

He smiled slightly bitterly, "If you 'return to the flag', there will be more people who are resentful, and the feelings of resentment will be even heavier!" ”

"That's right," Guan Zhuofan smiled, "I haven't been a wicked person since I took charge of the handle, this time, I can't say, I have to be a wicked person again!" ”

"The prince is a country," Cao Yuying said, "regardless of his own interests, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, this is the prince's righteousness!" However, you can't know that the other party will splash dirty water and stumble because of this, but you don't take precautions and want to prepare for it! ”

After a pause, "What's more, the rumors are harmful, and they are not limited to the prince alone!" ——How can we be indulgent if we shake people's hearts, confuse the government, and interfere with the national economy? ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded, "If you blame me for righteousness, I have been taught, and then ...... Why? ”

"I mean," Cao Yuying said, "whether it is 'returning to the camp' or 'returning to the flag', we must carefully consider it, and we must find a way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, so that the disgruntled ones do not confuse people's hearts—at least, not so that those with resentments have the ability to confuse people's hearts!" ”

Is there such a way?

"Zhuoru's words," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "It sounds a little mysterious, let me think about it-"

He pondered for a moment, "Speaking of the ability to 'confuse people's hearts' - after the dismantling of the Divine Machine Battalion, the reason why the 'Divine Mission' was able to make waves was ...... What is it? ”

Some people are moved, but no one is intertwined.

Guan Zhuofan said calmly: "Although it is said that 'knowing everything and saying everything', but the next words, you guys, it is always difficult to say - okay, this layer of window paper, I will pierce it-"

After a slight pause, "The person who is instigated by the 'gods', in the final analysis, is just the identity of the 'flag man'." ”

Wen Xiang's heart jumped: What do you mean?

But when they saw Cao, Xu, and Guo, they all nodded slightly,

"The prince is wise!" Cao Yuying's eyes burned, "Only when they have nothing to fear, will they be able to keep to themselves-"

"That is to say," Guan Zhuofan said, "This group of people, not only should they not 'return to the flag', but ...... react to 'go out of the flag'?" ”

Wen Xiang was taken aback and blurted out: "Lord Wang, don't do it!"

Guan Zhuofan turned to Wen Xiang, his eyes were deep, and his face was calm.

In a hurry, Wen Xiang couldn't judge that Xuandi's "flag" was a temporary intention to talk in a hurry? Or did he have this intention and plan to act later?

In any case, I can't praise it!

"The first evil of the rebellion," Wen Xiang said, "is mellow...... Uh, it's Yiyun! The shape of the rebellion of the Shenji Battalion is not very obvious, and it is too much to dethrone the Shenji Battalion from all over the flag! ”

"Bo Gong," Cao Yuying said, "whether it is too much, depending on the wisdom of the people, let's let it go first; Let's discuss this first-after this group of people 'out of the flag', in your opinion, can they still jump and make waves? ”

After a pause, "Or, do you have any better way to ensure that after the Shenji Battalion is abolished, the 'divine missions' will not slander and slander and spread rumors?" ”

"This ......"

Wen Xiang froze for a moment, "However, he must always be punished!" ”

After a pause, "I said something inappropriate - for example, if you cut off their heads, they can't 'jump and shout and make waves', but we can't cut off the heads of more than 30,000 people!" ”

He turned to Guan Zhuofan, "Lord Wang, it was the evil Ruizhong Prince of Emperor Shizuzhang back then, who destroyed the tomb and exhumed the corpse, and only deposed the jade, and did not say 'out of the flag'!" ”

"Let's take the matter of the Yongzheng Dynasty again, Emperor Shizong Xian and Yinyu, Yinyu, brothers, are not wearing the same sky, Yinxu and Yinyu were even changed to the dirty names of 'Aqina' and 'Saisi Hei', but there is no such thing as 'out of the flag'!"

"If it's just thirty or fifty people, it's just thirty thousand!"

"I'm afraid that the shaking will be too big and it will hurt the overall situation! Even...... Shake the country's capital! ”

"Shake the country?" Guan Zhuofan's face seemed to be smiling, "Not really, right?" ”

After a pause, "Bochuan, how can the word 'flag', in your opinion, seem to be the sky falling?" In my opinion, alas, it's just a piece of money! ”

"At the beginning of the country," Guan Zhuofan adjusted his sitting posture and said in a more leisurely tone, "The banner people are all soldiers, and the money and food of the banner people are equivalent to military salaries; The imperial court did not allow the banner people to make their own business, and it was natural for the banner people to receive this share of money and food. ”

"However, after the Shenji Battalion is abolished, if it is 'returned to the flag', there will be no talk of military salaries or anything; the relevant people and others are all guilty of crimes - the flag people commit crimes, and there are already laws and regulations for fines and food, and when the flag is issued, it should be fines and food!"

After a pause, "Since you have fined money and food, is there any substantive difference between the flag and the flag?" ”

"This ...... However, this is not a penalty of one or two years, it is ...... Punished for life! ”

"After 'out of the flag'," Guan Zhuofan said, "I can't help but make a living, and it's hard to say which side is more!" ”

"Besides," Cao Yuying said, "the imperial court may not have completely let go of its hand!" Well, Lord Wang, you see, if this group of 'flag-free' people really have no food and clothing, and they really can't stay in Beijing, can they follow the example of 'buying out the flag age' and help them go to the Northeast to make a living? ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded: "Yes!" ”

Wen Xiang's heart moved, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "I understand the intention of the prince to reform the Eight Banners, but I have to eat the meal bite by bite, and I am in a hurry, and I am to blame!" ”

He looked at Guan Zhuofan and said very earnestly: "Lord Wang, this is my heartfelt words, I hope you Jiana!" ”
