At this time, the Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty and killed Sun Wei, the commander of the northern land.

Emperor Wen of Han was worried about this, so he finally asked Feng Tang again: "How do you know that I can't appoint Lian Po and Li Mu?" ”

Feng Tang replied: "I heard that in ancient times, when the king sent a general, he knelt down and pushed the hub of the cart and said, I will decide the matters within the country, and the affairs outside the country will be decided by the general. ”

"All the rewards for meritorious service in the army are decided by the general, and they will be reported to the court when they return. This is not an exaggeration. My grandfather said that when Li Mu commanded the army on the border of Zhao, he used the collected taxes to reward his subordinates. The reward was decided by the general from outside, and the court did not intervene from it. ”

"The king gave him a heavy task and asked him to succeed, so Li Mu was able to give full play to his talents. Dispatching 1,300 selected military vehicles, 13,000 soldiers skilled in cavalry and archery, and 100,000 soldiers who could make meritorious deeds, they were able to expel Shan Yu in the north, break the Eastern Hu, wipe out the forest, suppress the strong Qin in the west, and support Han and Wei in the south. ”

At this time, Zhao almost became the overlord of the world. Later, it coincided with the accession of Zhao Wangqian to the throne, and his mother was a woman who sang songs. As soon as he ascended the throne, he listened to Guo Kai's slander, and finally killed Li Mu and let Yan Ju replace him. Therefore, the army was defeated and was captured and eliminated by the Qin people.

Now I heard that Wei Shang was the county guard of Yunzhong County, and he used all the taxes in the military market to reward the soldiers, and also took out his personal money, killed cattle once every five days, and entertained guests, military officials, and close to the left and right, so the Huns avoided far away and did not dare to approach the border fortress of Yunzhong County. ”

"The Xiongnu once invaded, and Wei Shang led an army to attack and killed many enemy troops. Those soldiers are all children of ordinary families, who came from the village to join the army, how can they know the laws and regulations of 'ruler book' and 'Wu Fu'? ”

"They only know that they will fight hard all day long, kill the enemy and capture prisoners, report their merits to the shogunate, and if there is a word that does not match the actual situation, the judge will punish them with the law. The reward due to him cannot be honored, and the judge will hold him accountable according to the law. ”

"I foolishly think that His Majesty's decrees are too strict, the rewards are too light, and the punishments are too severe."

"Moreover, Wei Shang, the county guard of Yunzhong County, was only guilty of misreporting and killing six more enemies, so His Majesty handed him over to the judge, stripped him of his title, and sentenced him to one year in prison. From this point of view, even if Your Majesty gets Lian Po and Li Mu, it cannot be reused. I am indeed stupid, I have violated the taboo, I deserve to be a capital crime, I deserve to be a capital crime! ”

Emperor Wen of Han was very happy after listening to Feng Tang's words, and on the same day, he asked Feng Tang to send an envoy with the Han Festival to pardon Wei Shang, re-appoint him as the county guard of Yunzhong County, and appointed Feng Tang as the commander of the chariot and cavalry, in charge of the lieutenant and the chariot warriors of the counties.

This is the allusion of "Holding the festival in the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent".

After recalling the story of Wei Shang and Feng Tang, Chao Buzhi said faintly: "Sir, why do you say that Wei Shang and Wei Taishou can meet Feng Tang, but Jia Sheng can't?" ”

Zhao Shi was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "If the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and Jia Sheng's holy family is too thick, which has already made the Manchu Dynasty uneasy, so he can only decentralize, otherwise what awaits him is a dead end." ”

The reason why Zhao Shi said this is because Emperor Wen was established by Zhou Bo and other meritorious heroes who abolished the young emperor Liu Hong, so their power is very large, and sometimes even Emperor Wen can't do what he says.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Heng can be nicknamed "Wen", because he mostly follows the opinions of his subordinates, such as expelling Jia Yi.

After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he continued: "Gong Chao is worried about Doctor Chao again? ”

"Sir really knows me." Chao Buzhi said with joy and sorrow: "How similar do you say his situation is to Jia Sheng at the beginning? ”

Zhao Shi thought for a while and said: "Although Doctor Chao is similar to Jia Sheng, Tao Qing, Zhang Ou, Yuan Ang and others can't compete with Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Liu Zhang and others, and they are not as united as you think, not to mention that if they are united, one person will not be able to sit still." ”

Chao Buzhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard Zhao Shi say this, he finally understood why Emperor Jing knew that Yuan Ang was wrongly framed by Chao and would depose him as a commoner, it turned out that the crux was here.

Zhao Shi continued: "Now if Chao Gong wants to break the situation, the only way to do it is to make Tao Qing quit, so that the problem can be solved." ”

"Although Tao Qing has not been the prime minister for a long time, and this person is not good at governing the country, but this person's political methods are quite clever, even if I try my best, it is just to maintain an invincible and undefeated situation, not to mention that if the prime minister of a country has nothing to do, the Son of Heaven will not quit the prime minister, after all, the impact is too great, not to mention that the world is not peaceful at this time, this possibility is even more minimal." Chao Buzhi analyzed.

Zhao Sheyan smiled slightly when he heard this: "Actually, this kind of thing is difficult to say, easy to say. ”

"You mean?" Chao Buzhi tried to ask.

"Yes, it's the Queen Mother, didn't Duke Chao already do this." Zhao Shi said: "I heard that it was Prime Minister Tao Cheng who recommended Chao Gong to treat the Queen Mother, if you cure the Queen Mother, hehe." ”

"There is some truth in what you say, but the Queen Mother has gone through several dynasties, has rich experience, and has a good eye, so I am afraid she will not resent Tao Qing because of this." Chao Buzhi shook his head and said.

"That being said, but the three of them become tigers, haven't you heard of it?" Zhao Shi smiled.

Chao Buzhi nodded slowly when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Zhao She's words.

Who knew that Zhao Shi continued: "The most important thing for Chao Gong to do now is to leave Chang'an early. ”

Chao Bu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I understand what Mr. means, only if I leave, Tao Qing and they can deal with Chao Cuo with all their might." ”

"Yes, there is also the separation between Tao Qing and Zhang Ou, didn't Yan Zhu already say it just now, Lu Qiuchao's case involves Tao Qing, so Chao Gong needs to visit Tingwei now, with Zhang Ou's person, hearing about Lu Qiuchao's deeds, he will inevitably stand on Lu Qiuchao's side, because this is not only to maintain the majesty of the law, but also to protect people's morality."

"In this way, even if the Tingwei Mansion and the Imperial Doctor have reached a preliminary consensus, once this matter is known to Tao Qing in the future, then they will inevitably have a gap."

Chao Buzhi suddenly said: "Could it be that this is the first plan that Mr. said outside the door just now?" ”

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, at that time, the division was the separation of the Huns." ”

Chao Buzhi laughed when he heard this: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing." ”

Then Chao Buzhi told him about the plan he handed over to Tian Wei, and Zhao Shi smiled after hearing it: "It seems that Chao Gong has already been deployed, and he is getting an axe at the end of work." ”
