Chapter 312: The Man Chai Rong Admires
Crazy, crazy!
The Hu killing team slaughtered everywhere, thousands of people lost their lives and property, and the entire land of Yanyun was shrouded in blood.
What is this for?
Back then, the Khitan stole Yanyun, and they didn't kill and rob at will, and the champion Hou did things like this, which was no different from bandits and robbers!
What kind of killing team, isn't it just a group of bandits and grass bandits?
Let them come nonsense, it won't be long before the people's hearts will be lost, and the land of Yanyun will be lost again!
Ye Hua must be stopped, and this kid can't be allowed to come by temperament!
This is a thought that many people have, but it is easier said than done, how can Ye Hua stop?
Your Majesty, please?
Guo Wei is sick, he may not agree, and everyone knows that Guo Wei prefers Ye Hua, even if he sues, it may not work...... Guo Wei can't succeed, then he can only find Chai Rong, the king of Jin, but Chai Rong is not an idle person, and he will not be at the mercy of others.
After thinking about it, he found Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, and asked him to come forward.
Facing a large group of people who were begging hard, Fu Yanqing had no choice.
"Your Highness, this is the way it is, do you see if you can make the champion Hou stop for the time being...... This Yanyun scholar is good and bad, and he can't be generalized. The Hu killing team is indiscriminate and blindly slaughters, and if it continues like this, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court. It's hard to get back Youzhou, but you can't lose the hearts of the people, what does Your Highness think? ”
Fu Yanqing tried to use a tactful tone as much as possible to try to persuade Chai Rong.
As for Chai Rong, he stared at the ground in front of him, his eyes were distracted.
"100,000 people have nothing to eat, what should I do?"
Fu Yanqing muttered: "Isn't the imperial court mobilizing grain and opening more porridge factories?" ”
"A bowl of porridge a day, can you eat enough?"
Of course, you can't eat enough, let alone one bowl, even ten bowls can't do it, but the court can't get more food, and maintaining a bowl of porridge is already the limit.
Since the people and horses were stationed in Youzhou, every day there have been old and weak women and children dying of illness and starvation, and there are more than 300 people a day!
The so-called porridge can only save some strong men, the elderly, children, the injured, the sick, and can only wait for a little starvation to death, more than 100,000 people, and it is lucky to survive a third.
Fu Yanqing suddenly understood, "Your Highness, could it be that the move of the champion Hou is to save people?" ”
"That's right!"
Chai Rong said: "Only by killing those people and taking out food and houses from their hands can the people be settled, their fields divided, and the people will have a way to live!" ”
"Ahh
Fu Yanqing snorted, he really didn't expect this layer, the people of Youzhou certainly want to save them, but in order to save them, pay such a big price, is it worth it?
"Your Highness, in that case, why don't you discuss with the gentry and let them donate money and materials to help the people tide over the difficulties? It's better than killing, right? ”
"Hahaha!"
Chai Rong seems to have heard the funniest joke!
How much money can you donate to save people by donating money?
Those gentry would rather take a lot of money and buy off the officials of the court than go to the people. Even if you are willing to take out something, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is not useful!
Fu Yanqing still couldn't accept it, "Your Highness, even if this is the case, you should distinguish between good and bad, you can't generalize, there will be unjust cases here!" ”
"Distinguish between good and bad? How to distinguish and who to distinguish? Who is wronged, and who is to be killed? How to identify, is it a three-class trial? Make a clear distinction between right and wrong? Chai Rong slammed on the table and roared angrily, "I can give an order, but the people's stomachs don't wait for anyone, and when everything is found out, the people will almost starve to death, and at that time, what is the use of the truth?" ”
Fu Yanqing became more and more embarrassed, the truth is still useful, at least it can appease the people!
"Your Highness, Rong Lao Yu said something out of the ordinary, the so-called natural and man-made disasters are heaven's going to accept people, no one can do anything, as long as the court does its best and obeys the mandate of heaven, the people will understand the difficulties of the court and will not rebel."
Translated from this, the purpose of disaster relief is not to save people, but to prevent the people from causing chaos, as long as the people are pacified and not allowed to add to the chaos, it doesn't matter how many people die!
The common people are like artemisia grass, ants, gentry, wealthy families, and large households...... These people are the foundation of the imperial court, as long as they are not chaotic, the world will not be bad!
Of course, Chai Rong understood what his father-in-law meant, but the more he did, the more sad and angry he felt in his heart!
"King Wei, have you forgotten the Huangchao Uprising?"
Fu Yanqing couldn't help but turn pale, although he hadn't experienced it personally, he had heard too much from the old people in his early years...... Huang Chaoluo was the first candidate, raised troops to rebel, rampant all over the world, killed the clan, exterminated the clan, stepped on the bones of the minister, and was a rich and noble person...... Kill that is a river of blood, corpses piling up like a mountain!
The great clan of the scholar clan that continued from the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties was killed by him, and many people shuddered and trembled when they mentioned that period of the past.
It's not wrong to scold Huang Chao for being cruel and say that he is a butcher!
But don't forget, who forced him to go on the butcher's path? Who made so many people willing to follow Huangchao to make trouble? Also, Huangchao fought for ten years, from the Yellow River Basin, to the Pearl River, and from Lingnan back to Luoyang and Chang'an, and fought tens of thousands of miles, turning the Tang Dynasty upside down.
Let me ask, if there is no strong foundation of popular support, how can there be such a big movement? Or even buried the Tang Dynasty?
Speaking of which, isn't it that the princes of the court, from the Son of Heaven to the officials, only have those big people in their eyes, turning a blind eye to the small people and ignoring people's lives...... For a long time, countless grievances have been accumulated, just like a river, usually docile and obedient, but once it floods, it will destroy the world and destroy the world, and the sun and the moon will be lightless......
Chai Rong tried to keep his composure, "King Wei, I was in business in my early years, and I witnessed too many people's sufferings, and I don't want to say too much truth. Kill 10,000 gentry and live 100,000 people, it's worth it! How many sins, I am willing to bear them with all my might, it is my order, and you don't have to keep an eye on the champion Hou, whoever wants to hinder it is against me! ”
Chai Rong didn't say any more, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Against him, that's the enemy!
Even if it is a father-in-law, if he stands on the opposite side, there is nothing polite to say! Fu Yanqing grinned bitterly, his son-in-law is really tough!
I thought it was Ye Hua who did it, but I didn't expect that my son-in-law was more resolute than Ye Hua, what could he say...... It's just too much, it's steel and easy to break, and marrying such a husband doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse...... Fu Yanqing sighed, "Your Highness, if this move is only placed in Yanyun, it may not be anything, but it must not be used in the Central Plains, let alone in Jiangnan and other places." It would be great if His Highness could explain it clearly to his ministers and reassure people's hearts. ”
Chai Rong's face darkened, and he nodded reluctantly: "It's only a move to benefit the country and the people, and I know it in my heart." ”
Fu Yanqing is not at ease at all, looking at Chai Rong's appearance, it is clear that he is going to do a big job, plus the bold Ye Hua, these two people get together, I am afraid that they are even more terrible than Guo Wei and Ye Hua!
……
Fu Yanqing really guessed correctly, as soon as he left, Ye Hua turned out from behind the screen, and he heard it clearly from beginning to end.
"Your Royal Highness, what King Wei said is also honest and seeking the country, and the means that can be used in Yanyun may not be suitable elsewhere."
Chai Rong shook his head, "Ye Hua, when did you become less courageous?" Let me ask you, how much difference is there between the countries south of the Yangtze River and the land of Yanyun? The wealthy businessmen and famous families there are even more intertwined and powerful. If you want to sweep the world, you have to attack the family and win the support of the people, isn't this exactly what you advocate? ”
Ye Hua smiled bitterly, "That's the truth, but don't you still have to rely on literati to govern the country?" ”
"No!" Chai Rong corrected: "It's to use literati, not to rely on them!" Besides, there are many kinds of literati, don't you set up a school, and in the future, you will find talents from the school, which is far better than those scholars who are in the autumn of Piriyangqiu. ”
Chai Rong asked Ye Hua to sit down, and said with a smile: "Not long ago, my father asked me a question, among the emperors of all dynasties, who do I admire the most, guess what I said?" ”
Ye Hua didn't hesitate, "Naturally, it's a saint today!" ”
"You little slippery head!" Chai Rong slapped Ye Hua with a fist and said angrily: "Of course, this dynasty is not included!" ”
Ye Hua thought about it seriously, "Could it be Emperor Wen of Han?" ”
"Why?"
"Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has the beauty of being close to the people and close to the people, the virtue of mercy and forgiveness, the virtue of being benevolent and simple, followed by Emperor Jing, and the virtue of Emperor Wen of Guangda, so that there is the rule of Wenjing." Ye Hua gave a very standard answer.
"Is it a peaceful and prosperous world in exchange for women? What is there to praise! It's all like sour and rotten literati, and I don't like it when you talk like that! Chai Rong said politely.
Ye Hua didn't care, he had been with Chai Rong for a long time, and he knew that the more straightforward he said, the more he valued you.
"Your Highness, could it be that you are talking about Emperor Wu?"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty swept the Huns, although he was eloquent and strategic, but he did not cherish the people's power, lived a luxurious life in his later years, was cruel and easy to kill, and even cultivated and alchemy, thinking that immortality could be obtained! I only admire half of him! ”
What a big breath, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is only half of it, Chai Rong, you are too crazy! Who is the king you admire? Tell me about it?
Ye Hua's eyes widened, and he was very curious.
Chai Rong smiled, "The emperor I admire is Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!" ”
"Oh!"
Ye Hua took a deep breath, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Sure enough, it was him!
This Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is called Yuwen Yong, during his reign, he implemented the Juntian system, implemented the government military system, expanded the source of soldiers, enriched finance and taxation, destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, unified the north, and was the top among the emperors of the past dynasties.
It was only after Yuwen Yong's untimely death that Yang Jian usurped the throne, established the Sui Dynasty, and ruled the world...... It can be said that the strength of the Sui and Tang dynasties is the foundation laid by Yu Wenyong, and the government military system he established is the guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will look down on!
This Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also did one thing, that is, to destroy the Buddha!
"At that time, some monks opposed Emperor Wu, saying that he relied on the power of the king to destroy the Three Treasures, and he was an evil person. Chai Rong said: "Emperor Wu was furious, and his words made the people happy, and I did not give up the sufferings of hell!" Emperor Wu is thrifty and simple, cares about the suffering of the people, has the eloquence of Emperor Wu, but does not have the evil deeds of Emperor Wu, if he can live a few more years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is bound to dominate the world! Chai Rong smiled, "It's really a coincidence, now the country name Da Zhou is the same as the Northern Zhou, maybe this is the number of days in the dark!" ”
Ye Hua was excited, and he secretly said in his heart, it's really a day!
Yuwen Yong destroyed the Buddha, Chai Rong also did it, and both of them died young, and they were the same age when they died, and they were both thirty-six years old! One was infected and died during the Northern Expedition to the Turks, and the other was infected and died during the Northern Expedition to the Khitan.
Yuwen Yong laid the foundation for the Sui and Tang dynasties, while Chai Rong laid the foundation for the two Song dynasties...... Both of them were usurped by powerful ministers, one in the Northern Zhou and one in the Later Zhou!
How similar, like a mirror!
Could it be that Chai Rong is the reincarnation of Yu Wenyong?
Ye Hua used to believe in science, but at this moment, he was shaken...... Chai Rong didn't want to mess around, he was emotional, "Ye Hua, I hope you can assist me and jointly create a prosperous era of the Great Zhou!" ”
