One Hundred and Forty Faces (I)
"Your Majesty wants to see you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In just five words, although the voice is not loud and the tone is not strong, Zheng Guang also has a premonition, but really at this moment, Zheng Guang feels that he is actually quite excited, after all, it is the emperor, in this era, the supreme lord of all Chinese, the high Daojun Emperor, he, wants to see himself.
This is not unexpected, the emperor promised in the holy decree that he would kill Chen Dong with his own hands to avenge his father, and allowed himself to carry Chen Dong's head to his father's grave to pay tribute to his father, and let himself come to Beijing to prepare for the test, but did not say anything else, so, Zheng Guang expected that the emperor would definitely summon him, but when and in what form to summon, Zheng Guang is not very clear, but now it is also clear, before the foreign courtiers meet the emperor, they must be recognized by Jinyiwei, but, Do you need Lu Bing, the big leader of the Jinyi Guard, to come in person?
"If Your Majesty wants to see you, you only need to send a palace person to spread the word, most of the governors are busy with official business, will this delay official business?" Zheng Guang said.
Lu Bing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Because you are not an ordinary courtier, an ordinary courtier comes to report on his work, the governor of Pontus will send at most one or two people to observe, and you can let him go, you are different, everything you do in the southeast, Your Majesty is very interested, before the governor of Pontus came, Your Majesty also instructed me, I want to ask you some things, see if you can surprise Your Majesty, oh, by the way, you asked Zhu Su to offer ham and stinky tofu before, Your Majesty likes it very much." ”
Zheng Guang nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty can like it, then it is the best, in the future, the ham and stinky bean curd in Yiwu County can be called tribute, and it is also the blessing of Yiwu, the people of Yiwu can concentrate on doing things for Your Majesty from now on, if the Metropolitan Governor likes it, he will also order Yiwu to send a copy specifically for the Metropolitan Governor, and the brothers of Jinyiwei have repeatedly helped me, if there is a need, I will also order Yiwu to send a special copy." ”
Lu Bing smiled and said, "Can't you see it, you still have a seven-trick exquisite heart?" Aren't you scholars all serious disciples of saints? ”
Zheng Guang said with a smile: "Master taught me that you don't have to be too muddy, as long as you uphold your heart and don't forget your original intention, the saint's disciples also want to enter the office, once you enter the office, there will be a lot of things that you can't help yourself, and what to do at that time depends on your own heart." ”
Lu Bing looked at Zheng Guang and asked, "What about your heart?" ”
Zheng Guang said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor also said that the seven tricks are exquisite, and they only want to do practical things, and they don't care about their reputation, otherwise, there is nowhere to display their good skills, and they also live up to the grace of the teacher's teaching, as long as they uphold their original intentions and do not forget their original intentions." ”
Lu Bing turned around, stared straight at Zheng Guang, and then said: "Uphold the original intention, don't forget the original intention, these eight words are easy to say, but it is difficult to do, one Lu Bing is not terrible, but the entire court is a powerful force that I Lu Bing does not dare to fight against, since I joined the Jinyi Guard, I have kept claiming to uphold my heart, but I have not seen many people who are doing things like chickens and dogs stealing inside, you, can you guarantee that you are not the next?" ”
Zheng Guang said naturally: "Zheng Guang is willing to be a good minister, not a Zheng minister." ”
Lu Bing was puzzled: "What is a good minister?" What is Zhengchen? ”
Zheng Guang said: "A good minister, dedicated to the country and the people, hard work, do practical things, do not care about false fame, in order to do things that benefit the country and the people, do not care about personal names and some interests, as long as the matter is for the benefit of the country and the people, even if it is a corrupt official, will cooperate, even if it is a bone and a straight minister, will do the right thing; Those who are ministers only have righteousness in their hearts, and they do not hesitate to sacrifice everything for the sake of righteousness, and if the righteousness they think is really beneficial to the country, it is fine, but if it is not beneficial to the country, but they still persist until death, it is the real legacy of a thousand years. ”
Lu Bing was a little surprised in his heart, and then asked: "This is the first time I've heard such a statement, what you mean by this is that if you want to do a practical thing that benefits the country and the people, even if a corrupt official asks you for a bribe, you will give it, and if the bone and the direct minister obstructs you, you will also try to bring it down, just to do a real thing?" ”
Zheng Guang looked directly at Lu Bing, nodded and said, "As a last resort, this is the only way." ”
Lu Bing felt very curious, so he sat down on the edge of the flower bed, looked at Zheng Guang with interest, and said: "You are a scholar, I really see it for the first time, if your idea is spread out and people know, the world's leisurely mouth can scold you to death, and others sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but you advocate doing things like this, and even corrupt officials and corrupt officials are in the same stream, are you really not afraid of the world's leisurely mouth?" ”
Zheng Guang opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid." ”
Lu Bing was stunned: "I'm afraid you're still doing it?" ”
Zheng Guang said: "But I am even more afraid that because I took too much care of myself and didn't do that thing, the people who didn't have to die died, and the people who didn't have to be hurt were hurt, if the world is really black and white, those who make mistakes will be punished, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded, then it won't be like this in the next, but the problem is that in this world, it is a world where black and white are reversed, people who do wrong things are at ease, and people who do the right things are framed and imprisoned."
If, like those officials and imperial history, they do not hesitate to sacrifice everything for justice, which is obviously a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, but because they violate the way of the so-called saints, they have to fight to stop it, and after stopping it, not only do they lose their lives, but also let the things that should benefit the country and the people not be implemented, this is harming others and themselves, but the world thinks that this is right, it is strong, and it is worthy of being praised...... Is that really the case?
At the beginning, when my master taught me, he once asked me, if I was a county official, and I was in trouble with a flood under my rule, the embankment was unstable, and I urgently needed to replenish it, but the county government did not have enough materials, and when I asked for materials from the prefecture and city, I was asked for bribes and made it difficult for the officials in charge, and I didn't ask about it, what should I do at that time? Would I rather die to maintain my honor and take the hundreds of thousands of people in the county to die together, or should I be false and reckless, and then think about other things after getting the supplies? ”
Lu Bing asked, "How do you choose?" ”
Zheng Guang did not hesitate: "The latter, hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of fertile land, how many people's lives are concerned, is my name really so important?" Is it true that I am going to kill so many people for my own sake? I can't do it, I will definitely compromise with them, and after getting the materials for emergency rescue and disaster relief, I will think about something else, others accuse me of being out of moderation or doing something wrong, but I have at least saved more than 100,000 lives and 10,000 acres of fertile land, I have a conscience, and I am ashamed. ”
Lu Bing's expression was a little complicated: "I have never seen a scholar like you, really, I admire your teacher, who can tell you the truth and teach you how to do it, and it is good that you are so determined, but you still haven't experienced more things, many times, things will be more complicated than the examples given by your teacher, and things will be more difficult to choose, then it is not something you can do with a clear conscience, just like ...... Never mind...... You're not ...... yet."
Lu Bing seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything, and then he looked at Zheng Guang and said with a smile: "Your determination, your thoughts, I have already made a clear decision, don't worry, it's not yet time for you to make such a decision, you have the talent to level the Japanese, Your Majesty will definitely let you go to the Pingwu, the previous two battles, fought very beautifully, but what I pay the most attention to is your training skills, only 3,000 recruits, how did you train it in a month, so that you can defeat the Japanese Kou head-on?"
As far as I know, the southeast is not without generals who can fight well, there are fierce generals in the southeast, there are elite soldiers, and battle-hardened soldiers, and their combat effectiveness should be stronger than the Yiwu soldiers under your command. Fierce generals like Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan, both in experience and command ability, are older than you, why are they always defeated, but you can defeat? ”
Zheng Guang didn't hide his selfishness, and said: "First of all, many people in the southeast, including officials in the imperial court, still don't know what a Japanese invader is and what a Japanese invader is, and they take it for granted that the Japanese are robbers, bandits, and a rabble, but the Japanese are actually an army with a very tight organization and attack plan!" There are commanders at the upper and lower levels, there is the distribution of arms, there is mutual cooperation, there is strict planning, there is regional division, etc., they are the army, they are the armed forces, not the rabble!
Compared with the Japanese Invaders, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the Southeast Guard Station are more like a rabble, a group of soldiers and oil old soldiers, who can't resist on their shoulders and can't lift their hands, holding spears and spears all day long and pretending, on fighting ten can not beat one of them, and ten of them can't catch up with one of them, and what's even more odious is that they can still leave the main general and escape, and they don't hesitate to kill the main general, as long as they can survive.
A comparison of the sources of soldiers on both sides, one side is a bandit who is not afraid of death, organized, disciplined and planned, while the other side is not organized, no military regulations, no combat effectiveness and no courage, the two sides are at war, who wins and who loses, it is clear at a glance, so I am not stronger than General Lu Bo and General Tang Kekuan, but the new army I recruited, listen to orders, dare to fight, have discipline, do not disobey orders, have no orders, and never take even a step back! This is the main reason why our department was able to defeat the Japanese Invaders! ”
