Chapter 313: Dragon Body Discord
In the face of Chai Rong's sincere invitation, if he continues to be perfunctory, he will really be sorry for his hospitality. Except for the possibility of his untimely death, Chai Rong is impeccable in other aspects, which can be called a model among emperors.
Chai Rong can fight, and he has led troops to fight countless times in his life, and his achievements are brilliant, which is almost less than that of Tang Taizong.
He knew the people's suffering, when he was young, Chai Rong trafficked tea, the north and south of the river, both sides of the Yellow River, and the people's livelihood and diseases.
After Guo Wei ascended the throne, Chai Rong faithfully fulfilled the mission of the prince, assisted Guo Wei, recuperated, developed military strength, eliminated maladministration, and did many things.
The most rare, Chai Rong is a strong-willed person, and there are many ministers around him, such as Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, etc., but Chai Rong will not be swayed by these people, he will listen to the suggestions that should be listened to, and the suggestions that should not be listened to, Chai Rong is very assertive......
"Ye Hua, I often think, with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, why a rebellion in Anshi made it from prosperity to decline, and then the feudal towns were divided, internal and external troubles continued, and today, two hundred years have passed, and there are still wars, which are all the legacy of the Tang Dynasty...... The princes of the court, I have told me about the rise and fall of the past dynasties, they said that it was Yang Guifei's female disaster, Tang Minghuang's mediocrity, Li Linfu's Yang Guozhong's treachery, An Lushan's cunning, in short, it is the fault of the faint monarch and traitor, I don't know what you think? β
After Chai Rong asked, Ye Hua couldn't help but cheer up.
This is an extraordinary question that cannot be taken lightly.
It is equivalent to Uncle Liu Huang running to Longzhong, Zhuge Kongming's countermeasures, if he can't get the real thing, the big-eared thief won't take Kong Ming seriously.
In the same way, if you have real skills, you will immediately be cited as a confidant.
Chai Rong also imitated Liu Bei and tested his own ability.
Ye Hua cleared his throat, "Your Highness, take history as a mirror, and you can know the successes and losses." At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the implementation of the Juntian and the implementation of the government military system, soon the country was rich and the people were strong, the northern expedition to the desert, swept the barbarians, and gave Emperor Taizong a heavenly khan! I thought that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lies in the word fairness! β
"For the government to be fair, the virtuous and the foolish are deserved; Fairness in the army, the capable go up, and the mediocre go down; The people are fair, the people have the fields to cultivate, have clothes to wear, and have food to eat, because of fairness, so everyone walks the right way, the courtiers are loyal to their duties, the soldiers fight to the death, the people pay food and serve, and people do their best, naturally, there is a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. β
"If the Xuanzong Dynasty is compared with the Taizong Dynasty, it is naturally more prosperous and richer in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty...... However, the Xuanzong Dynasty Juntian was completely destroyed, and the gap between the rich and the poor among the people was huge. Above the court, the children of the family are full of them, and there is no way to serve the country from the poor. The government military system is gone, recruiting Hu people as soldiers, handing over the handle of the knife to other races, the real national strength is not as far away as the Taizong Dynasty, how can it not be a country! β
"If the government soldiers exist, the Son of Heaven gives an order and mobilizes hundreds of thousands of troops, even if An Lushan and Shi Siming have great ability, they can't make any waves! It is precisely because of the loss of fairness and morality that it is impossible to mobilize the people and command the world, and it is not surprising that the Anshi Rebellion has been prolonged for a long time, and the local feudal towns have been divided. β
β¦β¦
Ye Hua talked a lot, and Chai Rong listened patiently.
"Ye Hua, what you said is that the imperial court should uphold fairness and morality...... What is the difference between this and the Confucian doctrine of the Great Road, the road of benevolence and kingship? β
Ye Hua shook his head, "There is no difference!" β
Chai Rong couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "There is no difference, isn't this a clichΓ© of you, but it is not the demeanor of your champion Hou!" β
"Your Highness, the truth in this world is almost the same, but it is different when you do it." Ye Hua said seriously: "The avenue mentioned by Confucianism, in the mouths of scholars, has become that scholars are the foundation of the country, the rest of the martial artists are vulgar and unliterate, the people are ignorant, and the merchants are greedy for money and profit...... Only they are good people, and only they are worthy of sharing the country with the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven conforms to the literati and hands over the country to them, over time, there will be many drawbacks, and it will not be far from the destruction of the country. β
"Will the civil servants die in the country? It has always been a chaotic people, martial artists, clans, relatives, and even eunuchs who have died in the country, and civil officials have never killed the king! β
Ye Hua disagreed, "This is where they are cunning, civil officials do not kill kings, but they corrupt the court, brutalize the people, and harm others even more." The officials forced the people to rebel, and they are the ones they are talking about! β
"Well, that's right! Tang Niu Li Party and Government, Yin Jian is not far away! Chai Rong said: "What you say is reasonable, but it can be handed over to Wufu, and it will also cause the division of the feudal town, continuous civil strife, and even the loss of the country, which is more harmful." β
"That's why I said to maintain fairness...... There must be fairness and justice between the farmers and the businessmen, and there must be fairness among the civil and military, the clan, and the people, so that everyone can be convinced and the country will be prosperous. β
Chai Rong thought about it, the fairness that Ye Hua talked about is actually a kind of big pattern that goes beyond what the scholars talked about, great fairness, the rule of the Son of Heaven should indeed be transcendent and not be swayed by messy emotions.
"Ye Hua, I listened to what you said about fairness, but what if you can't maintain fairness? Take the current Youzhou as an example, it is not fair to slaughter the gentry and wealthy families and take the grain and land from them, right? β
"How not?" Ye Hua asked rhetorically: "These people have accumulated countless fortunes and saved a lot of family business, and they have enjoyed the glory and wealth, so they should pay the price!" They drove the people to a dead end, and when they turned around, the people could take their lives. Your Highness thinks that this is not fair? β
Chai Rong narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but say, "You have a sharp mouth!" β
Ye Hua smiled embarrassedly, "I think it's best to maintain fairness, if you can't maintain it, I'd rather wronged the gentry than the people, kill one person and live hundreds of people, and reasonably, it is very cruel and may not be acceptable, but in reality, you have to do it!" β
The land of Yanyun was poisoned by the Khitan, with heavy losses, plus the experience of war, population loss, money and food, countless, and now it is poor and white, if you want to clean up this big mess, you must use extraordinary methods, those ordinary methods, can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
If you don't get it right, you will be taken advantage of by people with good intentions, which will make the Yanyun Han people deviate from morality, and even miss the Khitan...... The land was recovered, but the hearts of the people were not regained, and I don't know how many chaos there will be in the future!
Only thunderbolt means can be done once and for all.
Ye Hua and Chai Rong didn't talk about anything profound, and there was no need to talk about those mysterious things.
Governing the troubled times with heavy canons, anyway, people will die, it depends on who dies...... Chai Rong and Ye Hua quickly reached a consensus.
Give the order to the Hu killing team, use the fastest speed, eradicate all the gentry and clans in the locality, and settle the people of Youzhou as soon as possible.
This is an order that cannot be discounted.
After going down, it means that thousands of people will ruin their families, and the entire land of Yanyun will be completely reshuffled, and the rules of the past will be gone, and this land will become completely different from other places in the Great Zhou, and no one can say what direction it will go in the future.
β¦β¦
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Master Wei sent a secret letter."
Chai Rong was shocked in his heart, hurriedly took it over, opened it and took a look, his hands kept trembling, and his expression was full of panic.
"Ye Hua, take a look too!"
Ye Hua instinctively felt bad, so he hurriedly took it and swept it, also shocked.
Wei Renpu said that some time ago, Guo Wei was very happy to hear about the recovery of Youzhou, and his condition improved a lot, and he even decided to go north to see the situation in Youzhou for himself.
The people below couldn't stop it, and prepared a car for His Majesty, but before he could leave, Guo Wei suddenly fainted, this time the illness came more violently, and several imperial doctors were helpless.
Wei Renpu sent a letter to Chai Rong and asked him to go back immediately.
Although Wei Renpu didn't say anything, the purpose of the letter at this time couldn't be clearer, His Majesty's dragon body was worried, and even on the verge of dying......
"How so?"
Ye Hua and Chai Rong both raised huge question marks.
The two of them led the troops to recover Youzhou, although Guo Wei's health was not good, he could still persevere, how could he not hold on to it in less than half a month?
Could it be that the people below are not doing their best, or are they ...... Chai Rong's mood was very confused, "Ye Hua, you immediately order three thousand hussar guards and follow me to face you!" β
Ye Hua nodded immediately, and in less than half an hour, the people and horses were all ordered, and they set off immediately.
Along the way, neither of them spoke much, and their hearts were extremely heavy.
If something really happened to Guo Wei, the war in Yanyun was not over, and the undercurrent between the DPRK and China was surging, especially the emptiness of the capital, and all forces were eyeing it.
How is this good?
Chai Rong is facing unprecedented pressure, even if he is a well-deserved prince, at this time, it is inevitable that he will panic.
"Ye Hua, this level, you have to break through with me!"
Chai Rong used a commanding tone, which was non-negotiable.
Ye Hua nodded vigorously, it is self-evident that Chai Rong can bring him back, Chai Rong not only regards him as a confidant, but also as a friend who has achieved hegemony together.
How fortunate it is to be trusted by two generations of emperors!
Ye Hua cheered up his spirit, whoever wants to make trouble at this time has to ask my hussar guard if he agrees!
The two of them came to the outside of the tent, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling were four times more than usual, heavily guarded and murderous. Chai Rong rushed over and asked someone to report.
Wei Renpu was so happy that he didn't even wear shoes, so he immediately went out to greet him, thank God, God is pitiful, His Royal Highness is finally here...... His Majesty was seriously ill, and those fierce generals and martial artists came several times a day, at first they were just inquiring, and they were dismissed with just two words, but they became more and more arrogant, shouting that they must see Guo Wei.
Xiucai met a soldier, and Wei Renpu simply didn't know what to do.
Chai Rong came, which is equivalent to saving his life!
It's just that what puzzled Lao Wei was why Ye Hua also came?
How many years ago, Lao Wei managed the relationship with Chai Rong, and when he encountered a key event, Chai Rong would ask for his opinion, Wei Renpu felt that in such a big matter as changing the dynasty, His Royal Highness should only trust himself.
But Ye Hua suddenly appeared, which made Lao Wei quite unexpected.
This kid has a lot of magical powers, when did he become so close to His Highness?
Looking at their step-by-step appearance, they seem to have become outsiders!
What is this called?
Wei Renpu had a question, Chai Rong frowned, and asked directly: "What about my father, I asked to see my father." β
"Your Highness, please come with me."
Wei Renpu hurriedly led the way in front, Chai Rong followed, and they entered the imperial tent together, and Ye Hua naturally led the hussar guards to act as a garrison.
At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside, led by Wang Yin and Guo Chong, dozens of generals, killing with great momentum, and they were all taken aback when they saw Ye Hua standing outside the imperial tent with the handle of the knife.
"You have made a big mess in Youzhou, Your Majesty is sick with you, how dare you come back!" Guo Chong was the first to rush out, and said with crossed eyes: "You hurry up and get out of the way, let us go to see Your Majesty, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!" β
