Chapter 150: The Imperial Han Faction
Well, May Day is coming, Lao Bing won't rest, it's still the same sentence, stability is more cut, if you have a monthly pass, let's look at it, of course, Lao Bing won't be too much, quack! Finally, I would like to emphasize that Lao Bing is not explosive, but this month, Lao Bing will work hard
Try to make a small explosion, the number of dates is not set for the time being, after all, the promise made by the man must be fulfilled, Lao Bing doesn't want to be a dishonest person, let's be considerate of each other! Thank you!
Under the hot sun, groups of shirtless desert men were building roads under the leather whip, and those who were slacking off during the half month of food shortage, and those who quit the queue training, after the arrival of the dragoons, were all taken by Li Ang to do the coolies of road construction
Only now do I realize how stupid my actions were, there is nothing to eat for free in this world, they chose a moment of comfort, and now they have to suffer the consequences of their choice.
"As terrifying as a ghost, as powerful as a god, what a good name." Ma Jun looked at the desert men who were whipped with leather whips, and looked at Li Ang beside him, who gave his friend a very majestic name, ghost god.
"I'd rather be afraid than loved." Li Ang glanced at Ma Jun beside him, frowned, and said, "This seems to be what you told me at the beginning, I remember that you seem to want to be a feared general, fighting from the place of sunrise to the end of sunset." ”
"Do you think this dream of mine will come true?" Ma Jun looked at the sunset in the distance, "This world is so vast, do you think Great Qin can conquer the whole world?" ”
"Someday it will be conquered." Li Ang walked up to Ma Jun's side, "Think about the Wanzhou people under your command. With blond hair and blue eyes, they are so stubborn that they think they are Han. One day, we will conquer Hercynian and even the whole world and establish ourselves
We are in order. Looking into the distance, Li Ang said in a deep voice.
"Our order, what you say will always cheer people up!" Ma Jun sighed. Looking at Li Ang, "Now that nearly half of the horse thieves in the desert have gathered under the banner of 'Liaoyuan Fire', and all the big tribes are watching, what are you going to do?" ”
"With your dragoons guarding here, I believe that the 'Liaoyuan Fire' will not dare to mess around, so let those people build a simple road to facilitate the transportation of various materials." Leon looked at the road builders who looked like worker ants, and said lightly, "We need time, and also."
Can you see how the Tiele people responded? ”
"Then leave the scouting to our Dragoons. Before Chang'an's order came down, I also needed to familiarize myself with the terrain of the desert. Ma Jun looked at the terrifying Li Ang who was quiet. Left the city that had already begun to take shape.
In the big tent, Chen Lang hesitated, the most difficult thing in this world is to choose, he already knew Li Ang's plan, the desert will be included in the administrative territory of the Great Qin Land, not the place on the map that no one cares about before. chose to stay and become a future official,
It is difficult for him to make a choice between taking refuge in Li Ang and obtaining greater benefits.
Chen Lang, who was sitting in a daze, finally stood up, he had already made a decision, he wanted to follow Li Ang, the stage of his life, it should not be just in this small desert, what he needed was an opportunity. And the person who can give him a chance is Leon.
Walking out of the camp, Chen Lang felt relieved. The next thing he had to do was to convince Leon that he was a businessman and had met all kinds of people, and that people like Leon understood that the best way to communicate was to tell the truth.
Listening to Chen Lang's intention, Li Ang looked at the slightly bloated businessman in front of him, "You want to follow me, not become an official here in the future." Leon looked at that sincere face, guessing his true intentions.
"The youngest one is the third in the family, and he is a concubine, even if I do a good job, I will not be able to take the position of the head of the Chen family in the future." Chen Lang met Li Ang's knife-like gaze and fearlessly talked about his ambitions, "I am not willing to let my life be like this."
I want to follow you, and I hope that one day when I return home, I can raise my eyebrows. ”
"That's what you want to tell me." Leon looked at the man in front of him, "I'm a very suspicious person, I won't let you follow me for someone like you, but I can help you, but you have to pay enough for me." ”
"Let's go, think about coming to me again, do you want to cooperate with me?" Li Ang said coldly and let Chen Lang leave the tent.
In June in Chang'an, there was an undercurrent, and the Legalist officials, who had regained control of the court, governed the empire in the same way as before, and they were administratively more efficient and more severe than Confucian officials, and those who broke the law should be killed
Killing, the pass of the pass, will not be merciful, especially in the past 30 years, relying on Confucian officials to evade taxes and become the target of their key crackdown, and the corresponding officials have also been re-implicated.
The liquidation action of the Legalists has put the entire empire in a state of turmoil, of course, for the people at the bottom, this is just giving them after-dinner conversations, and all they are talking about is which business has been confiscated again, and which one of the original ones
The senior official was found out again on such a topic.
The emperor maintained a tacit attitude towards the actions of the Legalists, which also frightened the Confucian officials in the lower fields, but they had lost the power to fight back against the Legalists, and they could only pray that they would not be implicated.
In the military hall, the chief commander and the big Sima looked at the music sent by Wanzhou and exchanged opinions. "He's not a good guy to make a 'knife', and such a 'knife' is too dangerous." Putting down Li Ang's recital, Da Sima looked at the chief commander, his eyes flashing with something unspeakable, "The knife is just needed."
Just do what you are told, not dictate. ”
"'Knife'?" The chief laughed, he looked at Da Sima sitting opposite, picked up the cantata, shook his head and said, "Such a talent, don't you think it's too wasteful to use it as a 'knife', the dark cavalry camp will move from the dark to the light in the future, and the troops in the dark only need it."
One is enough. ”
"You're planning to cultivate him." Looking at the chief in front of him, Da Sima's two white eyebrows were tangled together, "Although he is a good young man, he is sometimes too bold to do things." ”
"Young people have momentum. Isn't it great? The chief laughed, "Do you know what Your Majesty thinks of this young man?" Perseverance is as hard as stone. He is a man who is loyal to his country. ”
"Are you loyal to the country?" Da Sima also laughed, "It seems that Your Majesty sees people very accurately, loyal to the country, such a young person is indeed worth cultivating." ”
"It's good that you understand, there aren't many calm young people like him anymore." Thinking of those young people in Chang'an recently, total
headed. During the 30 years of Confucianism's reign, Confucianism preached loyalty to the monarch in order to cater to many people in the imperial power, including some members of the imperial family. Now Confucianism has split into two factions, and the old bureaucratic faction has been greatly reduced in power under the blow of Legalism.
The Confucian Shaozhuang Emperor Han faction, which had been suppressed, was now rapidly expanding in power, and they were completely different from the old Confucian bureaucratic faction. It is not so much that they believe in Confucianism, but rather that they are power-grabbing factions under the banner of 'respecting the king and destroying the emperor'.
"You're worried about those people from the Imperial Han Sect." Looking at the face of the chief executive. Da Sima frowned, he also didn't like those who were too radical to Confucian Shaozhuang Emperor Han, their views were too extreme, killing all non-Han people, it was even more crazy than a madman.
"The Imperial Han faction has recently infiltrated the children of the major families, and there are already their shadows in the Dragon Tooth Society." The total length of the face is solemn. "You should know the atmosphere of the Dragon's Tooth Society, it's easy to accept their point of view."
"Aren't you going to do something?" Da Sima looked at the chief with a solemn face, and suddenly asked, as the controller of the dark forces in the military hall, he believed that it would not be difficult for him to kill the leader of the Emperor Han faction.
"People will change, Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past, as soon as the bureaucratic faction of Confucianism fell, the power of the Emperor Han faction has risen, do you think it is accidental?" The chief glanced at the inquiring Da Sima and replied quietly.
"You still think that Your Majesty has the intention of centralizing power." Da Sima raised his eyebrows. He looked at the chief with a solemn expression, and there was some mockery in his voice. "What is your plan, like a hundred years ago, to gather the power of the family to depose the emperor?"
"Now that the situation is unclear, I will not do anything." The chief chief met the glaring gaze of the great Sima and did not flinch in the slightest, "Of course, if Your Majesty intends to do the same thing as Emperor Wu, I will do so, and the imperial constitution set by Emperor Taizu is not tolerated."
Changed, the concentration of power in the hands of one person is not good for the state. ”
"Like you, I want to know Your Majesty, but the responsibility we have on us makes us have to make a choice, even if it's not what we want to do." Looking at Da Sima, the chief stood up, "You can tell you about today's conversation with me."
Your Majesty, in the end, I want you to know that we, the Guo family, only have the country in our hearts, and then we will be the emperor. ”
Looking at the departing chief, Da Sima Ruxue's white eyebrows moved, and finally he let out a long sigh and looked at the closed door, "You are right, the country is more important than the emperor, Daqin, above all else." ”
On the throne in Weiyang Palace, the emperor looked at the calm prince, there was no emotion in his eyes, he only had this one son, no matter what he did, the emperor's position in the future would still be up to him.
"What do you think of this young man named Leon?" The emperor opened his mouth and asked, in the huge Weiyang Palace, only him and the crown prince, quietly, no one else disturbed.
"He is a man who is loyal to his country." The prince replied that he was not outstanding, and that he and the emperor were like carved out of the same mold, "My son has let people test him, and he is very disgusted with the things of forming parties for personal gain, and I like it very much." ”
"And what do you think of his recital to the desert?" The emperor picked up the piece beside him and threw it to the crown prince.
"Very incisive, even if the Tiele people are loyal, they should still be cut off for the sake of the country." After receiving the recital, the prince gently put it down and said, "The desert is also the territory of the country, and it should be effectively ruled. ”
"One hundred thousand horse thieves, the Tiele people, and those tribes who did not surrender from the beginning, he intends to use them all as coolies to build the straight roads in the desert." The Emperor said what Leon meant in his recital, and it was not clear on his face whether he was in favor or against
"What do you think about the possibility of hundreds of thousands of deaths?" ”
"It's the right thing to do, starting with Emperor Taizu, we have always treated the border like this." The prince raised his head and replied, his voice was calm, but it gave people a feeling of indifference, as if the hundreds of thousands of people in the desert were just numbers in his eyes, and they didn't
There is real meaning.
"Your heart is ruthless enough, I can entrust the country to you with peace of mind." The emperor's half-squinted eyes opened, and he looked at the prince with a calm face and said lightly.
"Father praised it." The prince bowed down and said respectfully, he was always in awe of his father.
"The son is stronger than Lao Tzu, and being Lao Tzu will only be happier." Looking at the prince who was bowing down, the emperor said quietly, "You get up, I am just such a son as you, this son will not sit for you, will you let someone else sit." ”
"I want you to remember that Emperor Taizu once said that he would rule the world with the family, and the family not only defended the imperial power, but also restrained the imperial power, and because of this balance, Great Qin has maintained a strong position for one hundred and fifty years." The emperor's face showed some let the crown prince Fei
Xie's expression, "Back then, on the battlefield of Haixi, someone wanted to kill me, who was the crown prince, and all the evidence at that time pointed to my friend, Xiahou Tang, but I knew that he didn't do it, but in the end he was still condemned as a rebel, and I later let his subordinates
Rescued him, and the whole thing was over. ”
Listening to the emperor's account of the past, the prince's brows furrowed, and he felt that what the emperor was going to talk about next was probably related to the current situation.
"Because of the arrow that almost killed me, I later turned on Confucianism, originally wanting to use them to suppress the power of the family, but they disappointed me too much." Referring to Confucianism who had been expelled from the court, the emperor had a dissatisfied expression on his face, "Confucianism
It is required that the king has a good character, and the minister must also have a good character, but that is not realistic, you have to remember that a person who can stand in the court and speak will never have any good character. ”
"Sons remember the teachings of their father." The crown prince said respectfully, he knew that the emperor was to keep his distance from those Confucian people, thinking of those impassioned and ambitious Confucian scholars, the prince sighed in his heart, there may be one or two of these people who can be called
Gentlemen, but most of them are just cloaked in morality in order to gain authority. Even in the past 30 years when Confucianism was in power, they also relied on the Legalist system to govern the country, and relatively
In the past, as far as the Legalists were concerned, they did a terrible job.
"I acquiesce to the rise of the Emperor Han faction, what do you think I want to do?" The Emperor glanced at the crown prince and asked a question that frightened the prince, "Think about it, what do I want to do?" ”
