"Cui Fuzun is not in a hurry, listen to the lower official's words." Xia Xiang smiled, with a harmless smile on his face, "Feng Dao's defection to Li Cunqiao is indeed incomprehensible, at least on the surface, it is detrimental to integrity, but to judge whether a person's actions are good or bad, you can't just look at the surface, but look at his starting point." Feng Dao is an official, if he seeks fame and fortune, it will naturally be disgraceful. But during his expedition with the army, he shared weal and woe with the soldiers, lived in thatched huts with the soldiers, slept on horses, rewarded the soldiers with his own salaries, and sent the beautiful women who were looted by his subordinates to send him home. ”
"It's just for show, selling fame and fame and pretending to be high." Yang Jiang sneered and sneered contemptuously, "If you can do something to bend to the enemy, will you have a lot of wealth and beauties in your possession?" Feng Daozhen is a traitorous and loyal. ”
Xia Xiang smiled knowingly: "If Yang Zhusi can do such a noble thing to sell his reputation, it will not be simple. ”
Yang Jiang's face turned red, and he opened his mouth to say something, and swallowed it back.
Xia Xiang continued: "Feng Dao went home to guard filial piety due to his father's death, and at this time he was already a celebrity in front of Li Cunqing. He kept filial piety for his father and lived in a thatched hut, but he used his own money to help the poor, and secretly helped the villagers who could not afford to cultivate the land. Xu Xiancheng and Yang Zhusi, a person who does a good deed without leaving his name, is it to sell his reputation or pretend to be high? ”
Xu Heguang coughed a few times: "This, this, Feng Dao is a person with great ambitions, he is not greedy for small profits in front of him, but in order to seek greater benefits." ”
"That's right." Xia Xiang clapped his hands and applauded, "Now there is a person in the court who has the ability to sell his reputation and deceive the world, far surpassing Feng Dao. After he was admitted to the Jinshi, he resigned and went home to plow the fields and study. Soon, the name of the Qing Dynasty spread throughout the government and the opposition, and the emperor was recruited several times, but he could not resign, claiming that he wanted to write a book and speak up, but in fact, he thought that the official position appointed by the emperor was too small. Several conscriptions have not been successful, and it is even more famous, and it is known to the world for a while. The emperor was thirsty for talent, and when he was recruited again, he appointed him as the governor of Wupin, and he gladly took office. After serving as the governor, he vigorously promoted reforms, and soon accumulated official names, promoted one after another, and finally entered Beijing as an official, until today's ......"
Cui Xiang's heart sank, Xia Xiang actually compared Hou Pingpan to Feng Dao, and couldn't help but feel very unhappy in his heart. But after thinking about it deeply, he couldn't help but be shocked, Hou Pingpan's behavior was really a little similar to Feng Dao, and he really didn't think of comparing Hou Pingpan with Feng Dao before.
Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang also heard what Xia Xiang was referring to, and at the same time cast a disapproving look at Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiangcai didn't care about the eyes of several people, and continued: "Soon after, Li Siyuan launched a rebellion, Li Cunqiao died in the chaos, and Li Siyuan succeeded to the throne for Tang Mingzong. Tang Mingzong attached great importance to Feng Dao and soon promoted Feng Dao to be the prime minister. Tang Mingzong was an emperor with great talent and great efforts, and after he succeeded to the throne, he cherished the people, encouraged farming, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Once he asked Feng Dao, if there is a good harvest today, the people should be rich, right? Feng Dao replied, no, Gu Gui is hungry farmers, Gu is cheap and hurts farmers, Nie Yizhong's "Poems of the Wounded Tian Family" said that new silk is sold in February, and new grains are sold in May. Heal the sores in front of your eyes, but tear off the flesh of your heart. I want the king's heart to be turned into a candle of light. Not according to the Qiluo feast, but only according to the house of escape...... After Tang Mingzong heard it, he was speechless for a long time, and he asked people to write down this poem and read it aloud often in the future. ”
Cui Xiang was also moved, nodded and said: "The period when Feng Dao served Tang Mingzong was the most effective period in his life, and he did do some things for the people, but it was not all inaction. A few years later, Tang Mingzong died and was succeeded by Tang Shuzong, the fourth emperor in Feng Dao's service. After Tang Shuzong succeeded to the throne, Li Congke, the king of Lu, was not convinced and rebelled. Tang Shuzong fled in a hurry, and was killed by Li Siyuan's son-in-law Shi Jingtang on the way. And what did Feng Dao do? After he fled from Tang Shuzong, when Li Congke attacked the city, he led the civil officials of the city to surrender in Kaicheng. Because of his surrender, Li Congke took a high look at him after succeeding to the throne and still reused him. Li Congke was the late emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth emperor served by Feng Dao. ”
Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang cast adoring and flattering glances at Cui Xiang, and Xu Heguang couldn't wait to pat himself on the back: "Cui Fuzun is very knowledgeable, talented and talented, and the lower officials have been taught." ”
Cui Xiang waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to Xia Xianzun continue." ”
Xia Xiang continued: "Later, Shi Jingtang killed the late Tang Dynasty and established the Later Jin Dynasty, that is, the Later Jin Gaozu. Shi Jingtang was the sixth emperor served by Feng Dao, and he also relied heavily on Feng Dao. When Shi Jingtang sent people to envoy to the Khitan, no one dared to go to the civil and military officials, because the Khitan was a barbarian, and they were afraid that there would be no return. Feng Dao volunteered to go. When he arrived in Khitan, the Khitan Emperor wanted Feng Dao to be used by him, but Feng Dao did not want to stay in Khitan. Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself a vassal to the Khitan and called himself Emperor Yi'er. Feng Dao said that the Khitan and the Jin are the kingdoms of father and son, and there is no difference between the Khitan and the Jin. The Khitan Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and let him come back. It was this incident that was scolded by many people in later generations as a slave without a king and a fatherless, and a slave among slaves. But if Feng Dao didn't say so, he would be left in the Khitan, how would he work for the benefit of the people and run for the inheritance of Han culture? ”
"Running for the well-being of the people and the inheritance of Han culture? Hehe. Cui Xiang couldn't help but sneer, "After coming back, when Shi Jingtang was seriously ill, he asked Feng Dao, hoping that Feng Dao could assist his young son to ascend the throne, but as soon as Shi Jingtang died, Feng Dao turned around and left his promise to Shi Jingtang behind, and led the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to support Shi Chonggui as emperor. Shi Chonggui was the seventh emperor in Feng Dao's service. Because of the dragon's merits, Shi Chonggui also attached great importance to Feng Dao, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, Shi Chonggui was soon eliminated by the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and Feng Dao changed the court again and became Yelu Deguang's important minister. Yerod Guang was the eighth emperor in Feng Dao's service. ”
"Forget your ancestors!" Xu Heguang was filled with righteous indignation, "As a Han person, it is really shameless to grovel to the Khitans." ”
Yang Jiang shook his head: "Scum! Disgrace! ”
Xia Xiang smiled silently, many things in the world can't just look at the surface, if you really talk about heroes with integrity, Confucius would not have traveled around the world in order to educate the world, leaving a famous story through the ages. Even Li Bai was overjoyed for a while when he heard Li Longji's edict, and immediately "looked up to the sky and laughed and went out, how can my generation be a Penghao person." Feng Dao's actions are not tolerated by the ordinary world, and it is also reasonable, after all, not everyone can have Feng Dao's compassion for others.
Feng Dao's heart, caring for the people of the world, regardless of personal name, is the mind of the real elephant's invisible voice.
Xia Xiang didn't refute a few people, but said: "The world scolds Feng Dao for serving Yelude and forgetting his ancestors, but they don't know that Feng Dao is not for himself, but for the people. After Yelu Deguang succeeded to the throne, he was complacent, triumphant and arrogantly asked Feng Dao, how can you save the people of this world? The implication is that now the people of the world, I want to kill if I want, what can you do with me. Feng Dao replied that even if the Buddha is reincarnated, it will be difficult to save the people of the world. But His Majesty is one level higher than the Buddha, and it is easy to save the people of the world. Yerod was very helpful when he heard this, and laughed, dispelling the desire to slaughter the people. ”
"But when the Hu people went south, the Central Plains were all slaughtered, the white bones were exposed in the wild, there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people were left behind, and the thoughts broke people's intestines, and when Yelu Deguang wanted to slaughter the people and the Central Plains was about to suffer a catastrophe, Feng Dao resolved the disaster with flattery and saved the lives of countless people, but he attracted a thousand years of infamy for him. Saving the lives of countless people with the infamy of one person, if it is the official, the official will never hesitate for a moment, where the Tao is, although thousands of people are against it, I will go! Xia Xiang was loud, sonorous and powerful, his eyes were extremely resolute, and his tone was extremely firm, "This official wants to ask Xu Xiancheng and Yang Zhusi, is it important to clear the name of the individual, or is the life of hundreds of people important?" ”
Xu Heguang didn't dare to answer Xia Xiang's aggressive gaze, he bowed his head and said nothing. If it is said that it is important for individuals to clear their names, it is unkind and unjust to harm hundreds of people by only trying to make a false name. If it is said that people's lives are important, but they have been infamous through the ages, it is disloyal and unfilial. Which is more important, benevolence or loyalty? He couldn't answer.
Yang Jiang still had a stiff mouth, a stiff neck, and said generously: "I'd rather die a righteous death if I am generous, than a slave to my knees." The lower officials thought that loyal ministers did not care about the two monarchs, let alone the Khitans, and it was better to die than to steal life. ”
"A good loyal minister, Yang Zhisi, remember your words." Xia Xiang smiled indifferently and did not refute Yang Jiang's statement, "When Yelu Deguang returns to the Khitan, let Feng Dao and other subordinates follow. On the way, Yelu Deguang died of illness, and Feng Dao and others were stranded in Zhenzhou. Later Han Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan recovered Zhenzhou, and Feng Dao was attached to Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan was the ninth emperor served by Feng Dao. After Liu Zhiyuan's death, he was succeeded by Liu Chengyou, who was the tenth emperor served by Feng Dao. Soon after, a rebellion broke out in the Later Han Dynasty, and the general Guo Wei was ordered to go on an expedition. After the victory, Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor, destroyed the Later Han Dynasty, and established the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Guo Wei was the eleventh emperor served by Feng Dao. ”
After Guo Wei died of illness, his adopted son Chai Rong succeeded to the throne as the Later Zhou Shizong. Zhou Shizong was the twelfth emperor to whom Feng Dao served. In the same year, Feng Dao died of illness at the age of seventy-three. Zhou Shizong was grief-stricken, abolished the dynasty for three days, and posthumously named Feng Dao as King Ying, nicknamed Wenyi. Six years later, Taizu staged a mutiny and established Bactria . It's a pity that Feng Dao was born in troubled times and finally in troubled times, and he didn't see Taizu Wen Taowu's immortal achievements in pacifying the world. If he had lived to this day, he would have been glad that the people would no longer have suffered from the war and would be able to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Cui Xiang smiled indifferently: "If Feng Dao lives to the time when Taizu opens the dynasty, I am afraid that he will be killed by Taizu with a knife." Taizu hated people with two faces and three knives the most in his life. ”
Xia Xiang shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, Taizu is broad-minded, how can he kill innocents indiscriminately?" Five dynasties and ten kingdoms are just more than 50 years, wars are continuous, rebellions are commonplace, the emperor takes turns, tomorrow to my house, who is orthodox and who is the true son of heaven? Yang Zhisi kept saying that he would be loyal to the king and serve the country, may I ask which king you are loyal to which king to die? At the time of the war, Mingzhe said that it was the wisest way to protect himself, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, live in seclusion, read a few poems, write a few words, and miss the previous dynasty to chant the wind and moon to express the rise and fall, the name is there, it is the only one, but what is the use of the country and the people? Can the people be fed and clothed, or can they no longer be displaced? Who is the king's food, the worry of the king? The king is a king and a people. ”
The more Xia Xiang spoke, the more excited he became, he used Feng Dao's matter to beat Cui Xiang, Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang, Feng Dao has truly done it for the country and the people all his life, and he is truly selfless, but there are some people who keep saying that they are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but they secretly collude and collude, intending to rebel, and they are only for personal gain, and they just want to be promoted and make a fortune, which is more than 108,000 miles different from Feng Dao.
Xia Xiang's heart was surging, Feng Dao was originally a Confucian student, but he did not have the pedantry of Confucianism, he knew how to change and understood how to advance and retreat, as long as he could benefit the people, he did not hesitate to risk his life, knowing that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, and still facing difficulties, compared with many so-called wise men and celebrities who only knew that Mingzhe could not live in seclusion, it was thousands of times stronger.
"The country is in trouble, the people are in trouble, if you just turn around and leave, hide in the mountains and forests, and enjoy yourself, this is not integrity, this is mediocrity, it is incompetence, it is greed for life and fear of death!" Xia Xiang's pity and disdain swept over Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang, "Don't forget, your fortune is the blood and sweat of the people. When the people are in trouble, you don't care about the life and death of your parents, this is the way of a gentleman? This is the way of unkindness, injustice, disloyalty, and unfilial piety. Feng Dao served the twelve emperors, in addition to protecting hundreds of people, but also did a great deed, he persevered in the large-scale printing of classics, preserved Confucian culture, inherited Chinese culture, and set things right, which is indispensable. If there is no Feng Dao, I am afraid that most of the sage books you read today have been burned and extinct by the Hu people and foreign tribes. ”
"Who knows that Feng Dao didn't do this so that he could live in the troubled times?" Xu Heguang smiled disappreciatively, "Xia Xianzun admires Feng Dao so much, and wishful thinking that Feng Dao is for the country and the people, it is too biased and subjective. ”
"Really?" Xia Xiang couldn't help but sneer, "This official wants to ask Xu Xiancheng, Feng Dao, this person, is not greedy for money, not lustful, does not form a party for personal gain, has the ability to tolerate people, knows advance and retreat, cares about the people's welfare, outstanding virtue, has been conscientious and conscientious all his life, and has been reused by twelve emperors. He never relied on drills and despicable tricks to be promoted, but by his own talents and conduct. A gentleman is like a green grass for ten thousand years, he can be proud of snow and frost, but he cannot be used as a pillar. Some people may think that Feng Dao is not a gentleman who is proud of Xueshuang, but he is a pillar who can relieve the people from hanging upside down and save the people from fire and water! ”
