Chapter 738: The traitor looks at the world
The Northern Song Dynasty shared the world with traitorous ministers, and the Southern Song Dynasty shared the world with foreign countries; Although Qin Hui is a spy of the Jin State, although it is slightly insufficient, in terms of what he did before and after, the suspicion is great; Then the two Song Dynasty in the north and south, Cai Jing is the first in the phase, followed by Qin Hui, Qin Hui has been sitting in the position of ruling for 17 years, and he has an unusual side of ordinary people, although he is not yet full-fledged, but he already has the appearance of a traitor in the future.
"What does Lord Qin mean by this?" Lotte was quiet, but he also wanted to hear what Qin Hui had to say.
I only heard Qin Hui clear his throat and said: "Xia Guan recently read Sima Xianggong's "Zizhi Tongjian", and just read the former Tang Emperor Taizong and the virtuous minister Wei Zheng, the pair of 'holy monarchs and good ministers', the two shape each other, making the monarch a holy monarch, and the minister a good minister.
Wei Zheng took the courage of giving up his body to 'live up to the time, not to be a powerful person, not to extravagant relatives, not to be a friend, not to change the festival at the right time, not to sell loyalty to the position'; Guilty of straightforward admonition, dare to disobey the master's scales, and the master does not think it is disobedient, so it has become a talked-about 'Zhenguan prosperous age'. ”
Taking a sip of tea, Lotte smiled and asked, "Zhenguan Prosperous Age, Jun Ming Chenxian, does Lord Qin think that Shi Zai is wrong?" ”
Unexpectedly, Qin Hui asked rhetorically: "Does the Hou Ye think that the two monarchs and ministers of the Zhenguan prosperous era are really as close as they are in history?" ”
"Ben Hou remembers that when the famous minister Wei Zheng died, the former Tang Emperor Taizong also said: 'The husband can use copper as a mirror, and he can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. I always keep these three mirrors in case I make mistakes. Now that Wei Zheng has passed away, I have lost a mirror. 'Such a gentleman and a wise minister, how could Lord Qin ask such a question? Qin Hui's rhetorical question alluded to the emperor's mental technique, and Lotte gradually narrowed his eyes, but still pretended not to know.
Hearing Lotte say this, Qin Hui laughed and said: "Master Hou, since Qin, there are a few people who are not afraid of death and dare to write and say clearly, the so-called history is full of good words for the Venerable, or out of the intention of the later king, the former dynasty is derogatory to himself, the so-called history is not the original face of history!" ”
"What Lord Qin said is right, history is a woman who is allowed to be whitewashed!" Lotte nodded in agreement and continued, "Lord Qin, please explain!" ”
"The former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the virtuous minister Wei Zheng were the 'holy monarchs and good ministers' in the eyes of the Hou Ye, but in the eyes of the lower officials, they are not the kind of people who are not rebellious and take care of each other!" Qin Hui looked at Lotte's expression as he spoke, and seeing that Lotte was fascinated by what he heard, he paused before continuing: "Judging from the historical materials of all aspects, Wei Zheng has always been straightforward, and he never returned when he hit the south wall, and never backed down, which made Tang Taizong sometimes have a sense of awe for him.
Sometimes, Emperor Taizong didn't like it when he heard it, and his face sank, but Wei Zheng still said the same, telling Tang Taizong that he couldn't get down the steps. But Taizong still has to endure it......"
Lotte interjected at the right time: "Lord Qin, isn't this the wisdom of the former Tang Emperor Taizong?" ”
"Master Hou, don't be in a hurry, listen to the official slowly!" Listening to Lotte's question, Qin Hui smiled and gave a salute.
Nodding, Lotte did not speak.
Seeing that Lotte's face did not have any different colors, and he got Lotte's permission, Qin Hui continued: "Although Wei Zheng has the courage to give direct advice, he has never forgotten to put a high hat on Li Shimin, and once said: 'It is His Majesty Shengming who told the minister to speak out, so the minister dared to speak out. If Your Majesty does not accept the minister's direct words, how dare the minister violate the dragon scales and touch the taboo?'"
"Lord Qin's analysis is really reasonable, which makes Le's mouth suddenly!" Lotte suddenly laughed, and said again: "Lord Qin said Wei Zheng's matter to Le, I'm afraid that he means something?" ”
"Hou Ye is wise!" Qin Hui hurriedly gave up his hand, and then said: "Please continue to listen to what Hou Ye said, maybe it will be used again for Hou Ye in the future." ”
"Please speak!" This time, Lotte called Qin Hui's table to show intimacy.
Hearing Lotte call his cousin, Qin Hui was overjoyed, knowing that Lotte was finally willing to accept himself, as if encouraged, he worked harder and harder: "In the first year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, and some people accused him of privately promoting his relatives to officials.
Tang Taizong immediately sent someone to investigate the matter. After investigation, it was nothing, but Tang Taizong still sent someone to tell Wei Zheng, 'In the future, we must avoid suspicion and don't cause such trouble again.'" This move is undoubtedly intended to knock Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was not convinced, and said in Shuzuo: "I heard that between the monarch and the minister, they help each other, and the righteousness is the same. If we don't talk about acting impartially and only avoiding suspicion, then the rise and fall of the country may not be known. ’”
His eyes narrowed involuntarily, and Lotte pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "The meaning of Huizhi, Le Mou understands, is Huizhi using Wei Zheng and Emperor Taizong of the former dynasty to metaphorize the relationship between Le Mou and the current saint?" ”
"This is exactly what Xia Guan meant, and he has reminded Master Hou!" Qin Hui hurriedly said: "Hou Ye overthrew the traitor and comforted Yang Jian, and asked to dismiss the Gongtian Office, due to the frequent changes of the people, His Majesty had to adopt the advice of the Hou Ye, and go to the Gongtian Office to belittle Yang Jian, Hou Ye thinks that Hou Ye didn't plant a thorn in His Majesty's heart?"
According to the lower officials, the wealth of this dynasty is not much, the Son of Heaven likes to build Genyue with flowers and stones, and the northwest has been fighting for many years, Hou Yeran destroyed the Xia country, and there are many remnants in the Xia territory, and the cost per year is very high, but this time His Majesty went to the public field, and the wealth of my Great Song Dynasty is tantamount to making it worse, Your Majesty is still good at the moment, and when you are short of money to use in the future, you will not regret going to the public field and be angry with the Hou Ye! ”
Lotte understood tightly, removed Yang Jian's thorn, and planted a thorn in Zhao Ji's heart, on the surface, he won it, but in fact he lost.
While Lotte was pondering, he only heard Qin Hui continue: "Therefore, Xia Guan thought that the former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty did not really like and believe in Wei Zheng, and although he accepted and did so on the surface, some times it did not come from the bottom of his heart.
This is a political posture of Li Shimin as a politician, who only had to appoint Wei Zheng for the sake of his own imperial interests, and had to endure many of Wei Zheng's point-to-point and unsympathetic admonitions. He established his political image with his tolerance for Wei Zheng. Although his opinions are correct, but the master is the master, the courtier is the courtier, forgetting his identity and challenging the majesty of the Son of Heaven, this is the reason why Li Shimin's long-term grievances led to Wei Zheng's death to go to his son's marriage contract with Princess Hengshan and tear down his tombstone is equivalent to whipping the corpse and humiliating. ”
Qin Hui's words all reflected the emperor's mental skills, and Lotte had to ponder again.
Seeing that Lotte was pondering, Qin Hui took the opportunity to speak: "Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty was not a sage, and his tolerance for Wei Zheng was limited. Sima Xianggong's "Zizhi Tongjian" has a record of this.
If it weren't for Wei Zheng's death before the prince forced the palace and Hou Junji case, the outcome would have been really unpredictable. ”
"What the meeting says is very true!" Lotte nodded, "I should save my body!" ”
Qin Hui also said: "The lower official reads the New Tang Dynasty Book, which is related to a passage of Wei Zheng's words to Emperor Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng asked Taizong to make him a good minister instead of a loyal minister. Taizong asked about the difference between the two, and Wei Zheng replied: "Make yourself famous, make the monarch a Ming monarch, and have descendants one after another, and the blessings are boundless, and you are a good minister; He has caused himself to be slain, and the monarch has become a tyrant, and his family and country have been mourned, and he has no name, and he is a loyal servant. In this sense, the two are very far apart. ’”
"According to what you said, this is a dilemma, Wei Zheng's words are in the eyes of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, or there is a suspicion of inviting names!" Lotte nodded,
"What Master Hou said is very true!" Qin Hui continued: "If Wei Zheng kills him because of his direct advice, Wei Zheng becomes a loyal minister, but the monarch becomes a tyrant; If Wei Zheng gained a good reputation for his direct advice and became a good minister, then the monarch became a Ming monarch. Wei Zheng's logic is terrible, he put himself in an invincible position, so that Tang Taizong is on the defensive, Taizong can only achieve a win-win situation for both monarchs and ministers by fulfilling his direct advice. This made it difficult for Taizong to stop riding the tiger, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach and accept Wei Zheng's advice. ”
is worthy of being a well-known traitor in Chinese history, Qin Hui's perspective on things is really a little ...... Particularly!
However, whether it is a person or a demon, there is always a different angle from ordinary people when looking at things, of course, it is also based on various mentalities, Qin Hui as a generation of power traitors, there will always be some deformed worldview when looking at things, but there is no lack of its uniqueness, but it can be used as a reference.
After thinking about this, Lotte continued to ask: "Are you saying that Tang Taizong will not fail to understand this intellectual game played by Wei Zheng, perhaps it is because of Wei Zheng's self-pride that Tang Taizong deepened his hatred for him from the bottom of his heart?" ”
"What Master Hou said is very true!" Qin Hui said: "Of course, Wei Zheng also made mistakes, Wei Zheng strongly recommended Du Zhenglun and Hou Junji to Tang Taizong before his death, saying that both of them have the material of prime ministers, but in fact they are suspected of forming a party for personal gain. The latter two were both implicated in the conspiracy of the crown prince Li Chengqian, one was exiled, and the other was imprisoned and killed. ”
Hearing what Qin Hui said, Lotte narrowed his eyes: "Lord Qin's words are insinuating that Le Mou is participating in the battle for the throne between the prince and the king of Yun?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare!" Qin Hui hurriedly bowed down and continued to speak: "After Wei Zheng's death, Tang Taizong personally wrote the stele and wrote the stele on the stele, which is a rare courtesy for thousands of years. But after that, Taizong personally ordered to 'tear down the stele and wear out the stele', smashed his own 'mirror', and ordered the dissolution of the marriage contract between Princess Hengshan and Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu, which is also reasonable. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Hui said again: "Although Hou Ye overthrew Yang Jian, Hou Ye offended Wang Hao and Liang Guan, and the situation is even more ......."
Lotte smiled and looked at Qin Hui carefully: "Wang Hao is in the phase, and Liang Guan has an internal minister, why didn't Lord Qin take refuge in the two of them, but came to see Le?" ”
