Chapter 24 How Can He Win?
At the time of the intersection of Jianxing and Yanping, the situation in the north was changing rapidly, and in contrast, the south of the Yangtze River seemed to be much more peaceful.
Du Tao, Du Zeng, Wang Chong, Hu Kang and other rebels have been Tao Kan, Zhou Wan, Gan Zhuo, Ying Zhan and other generals will be pacified one after another, Jing, Hunan, Jiao, Guangzhou, the situation is gradually stabilizing, although there are still a lot of bandits, rogues, but there is no power to attack the city and plunder the city, but the trouble of ringworm.
In fact, to put it in detail, Du Tao is the leader of the displaced people, and Hu Kang and others are the old generals of the feudal town, all of whom are in turmoil in the Central Plains, and the people are displaced, so they have to take advantage of the situation. By the time the river and the Huai River were reached, the regime was stable, and even the northern refugees who had been hovering on the river were absorbed by the south, and most of them were successively appeased by Pei Gai, Zu Ti and others, or escorted back to their hometowns, so they lost the soil for rebellion, and Jiangnan naturally became more and more calm.
However, this calm is only the appearance, in fact, hundreds of feet underwater, the undercurrent is turbulent.
The main reason is that Sima Rui, the king of Danyang, trusted Diao Xie and Liu Kui, and gradually alienated the original mastermind Wang Dao. Although Sima Rui has no ability and is loyal, he is more inclined to the legal system in his bones, or it can be said that he is a radical of Confucianism, so that Diao and Liu can be similar to him and be reused; Wang Dao belonged to the conservative school of Confucianism, and gradually became disliked by Sima Rui.
The difference between the two is, roughly speaking, the radicals advocate centralization and are committed to suppressing private affairs, and for this reason they use tough and harsh methods; The moderate faction advocates that the big families should protect the central government, streamline the administration and lenien the punishment, and take stability as the first priority. As far as the political tendencies of the Sima family itself are concerned, they are biased towards the former, and Sima Rui can be regarded as not betraying the teachings of his ancestors; But as far as the current of time is concerned, it is generally biased towards the latter, because the expansion of the family is an inevitable trend, and even the Sima family can't stop it......
I think that Liu Kui went to Chang'an at the beginning, and got the support of Pei Gai, which is equivalent to getting the support of the imperial court, and after returning to Jiangzuo, he invoked Diao Xie to change the old policy of Wang Dao, Gu Rong and others. But Diao Xuanliang was not obvious before, and when he was in power, he was more radical than Liu Kui, and not long ago he even suggested that Sima Rui should restore all the servants in the Jiangnan states to the status of good citizens.
The large households in Jiangzuo were already rich in land, and they accepted many families as their own slaves and maids, or attached to farmers; When the Central Plains was in turmoil and the clans moved south, they not only wantonly occupied the land, but also lured the farmers who had not been able to go bankrupt into their own estates......
Not long ago, Liu Kui presided over sorting out the household registration, cleaning up the land, and rectifying the tribute, but he was stunned to find that the registered good family was less than 30% of the period of Emperor Wu! This problem is serious, now although Sima Rui is the governor of the six states in the south of the Yangtze River, the land is all wealthy, the soldiers are all from various families, he has no soldiers and no food, and even his own shogunate officials are about to be unable to pay their salaries!
According to Liu Kui's opinion, it should be discussed with Wang Dao, Wang Dun and others to continue to suppress the natives of Jiangnan - first pull a gang, fight a gang. However, Diao Xie felt that his methods were too weak and that the results would be slow, and advocated an immediate order to release all the dependent farmers as civilians.
Diao Xuanliang said: "Now that the great Sima has recovered Pingyang, he has killed several thieves, and although the slaves are in Xiangguo, they are not expected to last long. The country will eventually become one, and the court will ask the king about Jiangnan. If the king only hangs down in the south of the Yangtze River, but makes the wealthy sit big and it is difficult to pay taxes, how will the court view the king? If this is used as an excuse to remove the king from the post of governor of the six states, there is no complaint; If you take the opportunity to cut the king and reduce the king's seal, what is good? ”
When Director Wang heard about this, he was anxious on the spot, and hurriedly ran to persuade Sima Rui, but was scolded by Diao Xie on the spot.
Diao Xuanliang is strong by nature, has always been sublime and suppressed, and often takes the opportunity of drunkenness to insult his colleagues, so although Director Wang's reputation does not fall, he basically stands aside, how can Diao Xie easily pretend to resign?
Wang Maohong couldn't help but be gloomy, and when he came back, he discussed with his fellow clans and relatives, saying that if Diao Xie did this, Jiangnan would not be in chaos, and he was afraid that it would soon return to the chaotic situation before the king's first crossing. When the time comes, if the imperial court asks, Diao and Liu will certainly be to blame, but I am afraid that our Wang family's industry will also suffer serious damage because of this-what can I do?
His son Wang Yue said: "My son is disrespectful - my family is all harmed by Yu Yuangui today!" ”
In fact, he wanted to say that it was all because of your mistakes, but after all, it was inconvenient to talk about his father's fault for the son of man, so he put all the responsibility on Yu Liang.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the gradual decline of the status of the Langya Wang clan is very simple, that is, to evil the Pei family.
Pei and Wang's families were originally married for generations and had a good relationship, but after Pei Gai crossed to the south, Wang Dao was close to him on the surface, but in fact he was wary everywhere. This is because the Pei family's family is higher than the Wang family, and Sima Rui respects Concubine Pei and plans to reuse Pei Gai, which will inevitably lead to the Wang family's side eyes - Nandu overseas Chinese, the leader can only have one family, how can Pei and Wang be allowed to hold power together?
Pei Gai was naturally bent on the Northern Expedition and restoring the Central Plains, but the Yanque didn't know the ambition of the bird, and the Wang family couldn't understand it at all.
Director Wang's original idea was that Pei should not be able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, and he was afraid that sooner or later he would be beaten back by the thieves. If he returns, how dare the defeated generals speak bravely? I'll have it easy for me to subdue him. And if Pei should grit his teeth and stand up and not return, his foundation will only be between Jianghuai and Huai, and it will not shake the authority of my Wang clan.
Who would have thought that Pei Gai would not only stand on his feet, but also make an appointment with his ancestors and go side by side with the Northern Expedition, which made the situation in the Central Plains change in an instant. Director Wang is so depressed, he can't figure it out - how did he win? How could he win?!
Because in Wang Maohong's view, Hu is blazing, and there is no hope of a complete reversal of the overall situation in the Central Plains, only by basing himself on the river and slowly accumulating, perhaps ten or twenty years later, there will be the possibility of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, in the original history, except for one Zu Ti, no one in Nandu thought of going on a northern expedition, and Sima Ye urged him three times and invited him four times, so they let Zu Ti take the lead, pretending to go to Jianghuai to swing around, and then retreated.
When Zu Li crossed to the north, the Jiankang regime only "gave 1,000 people and 3,000 horses, and did not give armor, so that they could recruit themselves" - you said that no matter how poor Jiangzuo was, was it so shabby to shoot? It's just to deal with public opinion.
And on this timeline, Beidu has one more Pei Cai, begging grandpa and grandmother everywhere, and even coaxing and deceiving, so that some military funds can be raised, but this credit is absolutely impossible to be counted on the head of Jiankang Junchen. Then the Northern Expedition of the Xu and Yan Coalition Army, Sima Rui did not move, and sent a young and ignorant Sima Pei as the commander......
Pei's and Wang's completely broke up, and even Pei Cai's compilation of "Surname Chronicles" actually demoted Langya Wang, who was originally only one head shorter than himself, to the nineteenth place.
Wang Yue therefore said, if Pei should not break with my family, in the "Surname Chronicle", we must at least be in the top ten, and the court controlled by Pei should not support Liu Kuma and Diao Xie, but will rest assured and bold to let my Wang family take charge of the politics of Jiangnan. Today's situation is like this, in the final analysis, it is all a bad idea given by Yu Liang!
Director Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, because he knew - in fact, everyone knew - Yu Liang was just a gun in his own hand, and it was himself who really pulled Pei Cai's hind legs, and finally angered him...... Or also include Wang Dun.
The children of the Wang family all discussed, we can no longer nest with Jiang Zuo, regardless of the general trend of the Central Plains. Previously, Pei Gai had also pretended to be ordered to recruit my family's children, but we only sent a few distant clansmen to deal with the errand for the sake of face, and we lost the opportunity to get back together in vain. Now he must send his children to Chang'an and find an opportunity to renew the relationship with Pei Cai.
But who will be sent? When the idea was made, everyone was angry, everyone was enthusiastic, and when it was time to get to the point, the big guys retreated one after another. The main thing is a matter of face, now Pei and Wang are not harmonious, and the world knows that if the Wang family sends important people to Chang'an, even if they do not show weakness, they will be looked down upon by all families, right? And when it comes to everyone, what should Pei do if I slap my face in public? Even for the sake of the family, it's best for someone else to come forward.
Wang Maohong was so anxious that he almost wanted to go to Chang'an City in person, but he was stopped by his brothers and nephews - you are the leader of my family, how can you move lightly? Besides, if you leave Jiankang, Diao, Liu and the others will be even more unscrupulous, maybe they will take my Wang family first! After all, although the Wang family is prosperous, the only ones who really have a certain amount of responsibility are Wang Dao and Wang Dun, and others can't support it, and they don't dare to take the initiative to support the crumbling beam.
In the end, Wang Shu came up with an idea and said: "Xi Zhi Fang Guan, when Xi Pei Wen was in Jiankang, whenever he asked Xi Zhi, it seemed that he only valued this son - it was better to send Xi Zhi to the north, how about it?" ”
Why did Pei Gai look down on Wang Xizhi, who was still a child at the time, no one could figure it out - maybe it was to remember his father Wang Kuang? I haven't heard that Pei Song and Pei Gai brothers have any special friendship with Wang Kuang.
As soon as Wang Shu said this, Wang Yue also remembered it, and hurriedly said: "Since Wei's return to the north, Xizhi has always thought about it, and if he wants to visit each other, why don't you just use it as an excuse?" ”
The Wang family is good at calligraphy, among which Wang Dao, Wang Dun, and Wang Hui are all famous calligraphers in the world - including Wang Xizhi's first examination Wang Kuang. Therefore, Wang Xizhi can be said to have the genetic factor of liking calligraphy in his bones and blood, but he is not interested in his family's calligraphy, but respects Zhong Xuan, the master of Wei Shi. Therefore, when he heard that the Wei family had migrated south, Wang Dao specially implored Mrs. Wei to come to his home and teach this talented little nephew.
- Wei's is also a calligraphy heirloom, Mrs. Wei's ancestor Wei Qian has been under Zhong Xuan, so Wei's hand-on, is Zhong's calligraphy, Mrs. Wei is still in the boudoir, and her name has been coaxed to pass on in the middle of summer.
But after a few years of teaching, the Central Plains was restored, Li Ju, Wei Zhan and others went to Beitou Pei Cai, and Mrs. Wei naturally had to follow her husband on the journey, and it was impossible to stay in Jiankang alone. Wang Xizhi suddenly lost his mentor, and when he encountered difficulties, there was no one to ask - in fact, he could ask his uncle, but he was not happy - he revealed his thoughts to Wang Yue and others many times, saying that once I became an adult, I must go north to Guanzhong and visit Weishi.
It just so happened that in March of this year, Wang Xizhi turned 15 and officially held the crown ceremony.
Although the Zhou ceremony is crowned by a man in his twenties, in fact, in all dynasties, it is very rare to keep the deadline or even postpone it, and most of them will bow in advance. Tang Confucian Jia Gongyan notes "Etiquette" is the cloud: "The princes are twelve and crowned; If the Son of Heaven is also with the princes, he will be crowned with twelve. "There is a legend in later generations that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of twelve, born at the age of thirteen, and King Cheng of Zhou was crowned fifteen...... Of course, there is no way to verify whether it is true or not.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, aristocratic men generally performed crown salutes at the age of fifteen to eighteen. Wang Xizhi's biological father Wang Kuang died early in the Central Plains, and then followed his uncle to the south not long after, his mother also passed away, so he had to live according to Wang Dao. Wang Kuang's branch, together with Wang Dao and Wang Dun, came from Wang Lan, and his father Wang Zheng gave birth to three sons, Wang Kuang was the eldest, the second Wang Xuan, and the youngest Wang Bin. Wang Hui and Wang Bin are all based on Wang Dun and serve in Jingxiang, so Wang Xizhi can be said to be alone in Jiankang. Although Director Wang loves him, I am not his uncle's uncle after all......
Therefore, it was suggested that Wang Xizhi should crown the crown early, so as to provoke the burden of the family and bear the responsibility of continuing the heirs, so as to live up to Wang Kuang's spirit in the sky.
That is, in March, it will be crowned, and the word will be called, called "Yi Shao".
Therefore, today Wang Shu and Wang Yue remembered Wang Xizhi's coming, and suggested that Xizhi could go to Guanzhong in the name of studying. Since Pei Gai seems to like Yi Shao's kid, he may be willing to meet, and even if he doesn't, Li Mao will meet with the Xingtai Police Department, and through him, he can reconnect with Pei Cai. Wang Xizhi is a junior and has just come of age, so can his face be considered a face? Even if you stick to Pei Gai's cold ass, it doesn't matter, at least it won't affect the reputation of my Wang family.
Director Wang pondered for a while, and finally agreed to the matter. But he didn't unite and notified Yu Liang in a blink of an eye, and Yu Liang immediately proposed: It's a good thing to visit the teacher to learn calligraphy, and my brother Yu Yi should also be a companion......
Yu Yuangui is arrogant, even if he regrets that he shouldn't have pulled Pei Gai's hind legs too hard, but the matter has come to this point, I will never take the initiative to bow to the other party - in other words, Pei Cai, why don't you come to recruit my Yu family's disciples? Do you really hate me that much?
However, he couldn't help but complain to his family all day long, saying that it was Brother You hated Pei Gai, which led to being degraded, and it was difficult for us to get ahead. Yu Liang was helpless, and Zhenri was sad - the key was that he couldn't understand, how could Pei Gai's kid and Zu Ti's old man succeed?
Non-stop king, Yu, many people in the world can't figure it out, the reason for this - lack of ability, too narrow vision, and no ambition to control the soldiers and horses and win the battlefield is one thing, and more importantly, everyone regards the Central Plains as a daunting path, and they don't dare to overcome thorns and thorns at all, and sacrifice their lives to struggle, so will success fall from the sky?
So after hearing Director Wang reveal the idea of sending Wang Xizhi to Guanzhong, Yu Liang thought about it for a while, and immediately proposed: Let my brother Yu Yi go with him.
