Chapter 365: Rules Are No Rules
When Kindman parted ways with Shi Bufan, outsiders didn't understand the meaning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But at that time, after Bufan read the song Qin Shaoyou's Queqiao Immortal, many people understood the relationship between Shi Bufan and Jindeman. This really attracted the attention of many people, including Tang officials and foreign envoys within the court. And many people have their own ideas, and even think about the core of the problem.
Of course, different people look at the problem from different angles and are in different positions.
"Hmph, really, I actually got involved with the princess of Silla, don't you know that it is very easy to cause misunderstanding by doing this? Your position is that of the host and guest, and you are in charge of foreign affairs, but you have such an ambiguous relationship with the crown prince of Silla, so you will definitely cause trouble in the future. Also, you actually made a long and short sentence for the prince of Silla, when you and I got married, you didn't make a hypnotic poem for me, it's really eccentric! Dugu Daxue was speechless in the distance.
And Li Shimin saw that Shi Bufan actually had such a relationship with the crown prince of Silla, which made Li Shimin very speechless. You must know that at that time, Shi Bufan took Jindeman into the palace to meet Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin actually satirized Jindeman, which later caused a lot of turmoil, but Bufan cleaned up this mess for Li Shimin. But now, they're actually getting together?
As for the other women, such as the county lord of Dingxiang, they were even more angry. At that time, when this Jindeman just met him, he was a sentence of "Mrs. Shi", which was regarded as unraveling the scars of the county lord of Dingxiang, which made the county lord of Dingxiang very angry. But now Jindeman is actually mixed with Shi Bufan, so that the county lord of Dingxiang is like this. In fact, if it is other women and Shi Bufan are ambiguous, then the county lord of Dingxiang can not care, after all, aren't men like this? But the county lord of Dingxiang is the most dissatisfied with the extraordinary woman, one is Dugu Daxue, and the other is this Jindeman. But Shi Bufan is now writing poems for Jindeman, of course, which makes the county lord of Dingxiang, a person who wants but can't get it, very unhappy, even compared to Dugu Daxue.
Therefore, it is impossible for Shi Bufan to make his "harem" completely close to sisters in this life, it is destined to be not very peaceful in the backyard, there will definitely be a lot of contradictions, and even his "love field" will be entangled with "officialdom".
Of course, those foreign envoys also had mixed thoughts. In particular, Shi Bufan is the main guest and the person in charge of diplomatic decrees. Although it was Koroji Temple that received the foreign envoys, it was the head of the Ministry of Rites who actually formulated the diplomatic decree. Shi Bufan has the right to suggest the emperor's diplomatic direction, and even foreign strategy.
If Shi Bufan's relationship with Princess Silla, or even the future Queen of Silla, Jindeman, is this, will Datang definitely favor Silla in the future? This made Goguryeo and Baekje very bad.
Goguryeo's envoy Yuangai Suwen couldn't sit still and walked out directly.
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign minister wants to hear about the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, so the foreign minister wants to compare his martial arts with the people of the Tang Dynasty, please allow the Tang Emperor." Yuangai Suwen said.
"Oh? Want to compare martial arts? I have many generals in the Tang Dynasty, who wants to compare with the Goguryeo envoys? Li Shimin asked.
"I want to come!" Many generals have come forward.
However, Yuan Gai Suwen pointed at Shi Bufan and said, "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, I want to try to compete with your host and guest Lang Shi Bufan." Shi Bufan, do you dare to fight? ”
Yuangai Suwen directly named and said here that he had to compete with Shi Bufan, which made Da Ye speechless for a while, Shi Bufan was a literati, although his cultural level was not low, but his martial arts were definitely much more powerful than Shi Bufan, a pure literati. None of the people present doubted that if Shi Bufan was compared with Yuan Gai Suwen, then I am afraid that he would not be able to make three moves, or even one move.
Shi Bufan's face also changed, this Yuan Gai Suwen was full of murderous aura, this guy may have killed himself. Shi Bufan's ambiguous relationship with Jindeman just now has completely made this Yuangai Suwen feel threatened. So this Yuan Gai Suwen plans to compete with himself, and then kill Shi Bu Extraordinary.
Shi Bufan's official position was that of the host and guest, and he was in charge of diplomatic decrees, and if Shi Bufan favored Silla when formulating the diplomatic decrees of the Tang Dynasty, it would be very unfavorable to Goguryeo.
Yuangai Suwen most likely planned to so-called "martial arts" at this time, and when the time came, he "missed" and killed Shi Bufan. According to the ancient rules, there was no heavy sentence for missing a match between such jousts. Not to mention this era, even if more than a thousand years have passed in modern times, if you kill someone by mistake in the course of a martial arts competition, it is at most intentional injury causing death, and most of them will not be sentenced to death. Even if it can be proved that the two sides are competing in martial arts, there is even room for further commutation. In fact, there is a lot of room for commutation of sentences caused by accidental injuries and deaths in this kind of competition. Although it is not like the ancient life and death situation, in terms of specific implementation, it is completely mitigating the punishment.
This is even more true in ancient times, basically even if you are injured and die by mistake in a martial arts competition, you will not be held accountable too much. Even if this Yuan Gai Suwen is a foreigner, after killing Shi Bufan, he can pat his ass and leave, not afraid of any punishment and retaliation.
"Shi Langzhong, do you dare to compare with me? If you don't dare to compare, it means that you Datang people are all cowards! Yuan Gai Suwen said directly.
"Shameless!" Many people scolded in their hearts.
Although there are many people who are dissatisfied with Shi Bufan, but in the face of the provocation of outsiders at this moment, it is necessary to share the same hatred. They certainly have a fight with Shi Bufan, but it is an internal contradiction, which can be resolved to a certain extent! And following that Goguryeo is a "contradiction between friend and foe", a contradiction of a higher level.
According to the theory of contradiction, the world is full of contradictions, and the housekeeper is to grasp the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. At this moment, Yuangai Suwen was so provocative, and the contradiction between the countries overrode the so-called internal strife, and this was the main contradiction.
This Yuan Gai Suwen actually took the initiative to provoke Shi Bufan, a literati, isn't this making it clear that he wants to kill Shi Bufan? But everyone is not good at saying anything, if Shi Bufan refuses to fight, then Datang is indeed a little embarrassed. But if Shi Bufan fights, it will probably be dead.
"Yuangai Suwen, in what capacity are you here to compete with me? Is it to compete as a samurai, or is it to compete as a soldier? Shi Bufan asked.
Yuangai Suwen wondered: "Does this have anything to do with it?" ”
"If you are competing as a samurai, then you represent you personally, then I also represent me personally, so it will not be Datang's responsibility to refuse, but I will be embarrassed." Shi Bufan said.
Yuan Gai Suwen frowned, and many Tang officials also breathed a sigh of relief. This Shi Bufan deliberately changed the concept, if it is to compete as a samurai, it is the personal behavior of both parties, and it has nothing to do with national honor. So even if Shi Bufan refuses, it is also Shi Bufan's own "shame". Of course, no one will look down on him, because it is normal for a literati to refuse a samurai competition, and it is not ashamed.
Shi Bufan never thinks that when others challenge, he has to face it brainlessly, which is to show bravery. Knowing that you can't do it, this is not necessarily true bravery, but recklessness. If there's a better way to solve it, don't use the worst means to solve it. Shi Bufan knew that if he went to compete with Yuan Gai Suwen, he would definitely die. That's why he won't send him to death for the sake of stupid face, and those who go to death for the sake of face are fools.
Therefore, if the other party is competing as a samurai, Shi Bufan has the right to refuse, because the two sides are only representing individuals. As for whether Shi Bufan will be "embarrassed" after refusal, this may not be! Because you, a samurai, go to challenge a literati with the times, and there is no doubt who is more disgraced.
"And if it's in the military?" Yuangai Suwen asked
"Very good, if you are a soldier, then you are also challenging me Datang as a soldier. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, including me, a literati. And I, even if I am a literati, have to put pen to paper to kill the enemy from the battlefield to defend the country, and there is no way to retreat! Shi Bufan said.
"Okay, then I'll challenge you as a soldier!" Yuangai Suwen said.
Shi Bufan then said: "Okay, I'll fight!" ”
Li Lizhen, who was only seven or eight years old in the distance, was suddenly shocked and said, "Sister Dingxiang, Shixiao Shulang is actually going to a martial arts competition, he will be fine, right?" ”
"Hmph, this guy is proficient in calculations, and if he takes a hundred steps at a time, only others will suffer. Don't worry, anyone can have an accident, but he will never have an accident! The county lord of Dingxiang snorted, obviously she knew Shi Bufan very well, and Shi Bufan never fought uncertain battles.
That Yuan Gai Suwen thought he was proud and thought that he could kill Shi Bufan, but Shi Bufan directly began to say: "Gao Kan, you bring dozens of Qianniu Guards to fight this Yuan Gai Suwen with me." ”
Countless people at the scene almost knelt, Shi Bufan actually wanted Gao Kan to take dozens of Qianniu guards to besiege Yuangai Suwen together, isn't this more to fight less? No matter how powerful Yuangai Suwen is, he is not an opponent besieged by dozens of Qianniu Guards together.
"You, you, you, you don't follow the rules, and you actually fight more and less?" Yuangai Suwen hurriedly said angrily.
If dozens of Qianniu guards besiege together, will they still have their lives? Yuan Gai Suwen was not stupid, he hurriedly accused Shi Bufan of being unruly.
"Yuangai Suwen, I'm not following the rules? Hahahaha, you yourself said that you came to compete as a soldier. That soldier is not for competition, but for war. Therefore, this time you use the identity of a soldier to challenge, that is to start a war with my Datang. Since it is a war, everyone in our Datang Land has the responsibility of defending the country and defending the land regardless of the north and the south, and the old and the young. ”
"So, if you're challenging as a soldier, you're waging war. Since it is a war, it must naturally be carried out in accordance with the rules of war. And the rules of war, that is, there are no rules. Do you tell me that you can't fight too much and fight less in war? ”
So, the only rule in war, that is, there are no rules. Not to mention that I brought dozens of Qianniuwei to besiege you, even if I came with hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege you, it would be reasonable. Because if you challenge me as a soldier, you will also start a war. It's the first time I've heard that wars should be fair, that they should be equal in numbers? ”
When Gao Kan heard this, he immediately took the initiative to stand up and stood in front of Shi Bufan with dozens of Qianniuwei.
"Goguryeo envoy, since you are challenging as a soldier, then we are also at war. So, it makes sense that dozens of us are besieging you one. Because we have a responsibility to defend the land, we don't care about using any means, understand? Gao Kan said.
Yuangai Suwen felt that this time he really fell into Shi Bufan's language trap, if he challenged as a samurai, it only represented an individual, not a country, and Shi Bufan had the right to refuse. However, if you challenge as a soldier, then there will naturally be a "war" between the two sides, and under the war, whether you are a soldier or not, you have the responsibility to defend the territory for the country and fight against foreign enemies, so Shi Bufan has no right to refuse.
At first, he did not pay attention to the nature of the problem, but once a "war" really broke out, it would also have to be carried out according to the rules of war. There is only one rule for war testing, that is, there are no rules. As long as victory can be achieved, then all means can be used, and there is no need to pay attention to any benevolence, morality, or reasonableness.
Even the most trite Confucianists will not take the initiative to accuse the front-line generals of fighting more and fighting less, and bullying the other side in small numbers. Accusing one side of the war of fighting more and fighting less, bullying the weak, isn't this revealing intelligence? As long as victory can be achieved, then all means are possible. The strong side will not be blamed for using high-tech weapons, and the weak side will not be sympathized with for the backwardness of weapons. This is the law of war, that is, there are no rules.
So if Yuangai Suwen challenges as a soldier, it is also starting a war. Therefore, Shi Bufan let dozens of Qianniuwei besiege together, which is not a violation of the "rules" of war. So Yuangai Suwen fell into the pit, completely fell into the pit.
Yuangai Suwen looked at more than a dozen Qianniu guards who were eyeing him, and even the nearby Tang generals were also eyeing him at any time, and the surrounding palace guards had already put their hands on the hilt of the knife, as if they were about to draw their knives at any time. Yuangai Suwen knew that if he couldn't figure himself out, he would have to explain it here.
"It's not comparable, it's not comparable, in fact, I still admire Datang's martial heart very much. I took it, I took it! Yuangai Suwen hurriedly said.
Yuan Gai Suwen is not convinced, if he wants to continue the "war", there are so many palace guards here, it is enough to chop him into meat sauce!
