Chapter 38: Political Conspiracy Theories
From the 5,000-year dark political history of China, Xu Yang knows a profound truth, that is, it is the practice of smart people to become famous and then retire immediately.
This truth has been staged over and over again throughout the ages, but there are still many smart people who have sung and I have appeared on the stage, staging bloody political dramas that have appeared one after another.
Whether it was Han Xin, who said, 'The last general will lead the troops, the more the merrier', or Xiao He, the think tank who assisted Liu Bang to seize the world, Liu Bang's sword fell without the slightest mercy.
Whether it is Liu Bowen, who has determined the world, or Xu Da, his brother Xu Da and others since childhood, Zhu Yuanzhang's cruelty to these people is simply shocking to the world.
Even in modern times, after Taizu conquered the world, how many of the generals who fought together in the past were able to protect their lives after **?
What is it that makes these emperors and supreme leaders so bloody and brutal to slaughter the heroes of the past?
The four words of success and retirement are so easy to say, but there are few who can really let go, and only the true wise will have this kind of wisdom and foolishness.
On the night of Liu Bang's accession to the throne, he left a letter, went out of the city in the starry night, and escaped to Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who were seeking saints in the mountains.
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he told the loyal and honest fourth brother He Shao, who had returned to his hometown.
**After the initiation, he left the political center and chose Premier Zhou, who managed foreign affairs.
Politics is a game of smart people, and there are not a few smart people who are played to death by smart people, but really smart people can always dispel the fog of glory and wealth in front of them and see the essence between people.
Xu Yang is not a smart person, all his hole cards are beyond the shackles of these Tang people's 1,400 years of thought, as well as more modern profound knowledge, a mobile phone and a computer are all his belongings in the Tang Dynasty.
So in that Tang Dynasty hall full of calculations, Xu Yang always felt awkward, and one day he was caught by someone to participate in a book, and Wei Zheng, the old guy, impeached himself for eating bread in front of the court, and he still remembers it.
The court is dark! Xu Yang touched his head, there was news from Xujiazhuang, the folds of impeachment in the court had almost piled up into a hill, all of them were reprimanding themselves for marching and bringing back their daughters, regardless of etiquette in broad daylight, without Jin Shengman's intimacy, and there was no mention of his 3,000 wins and 100,000 victories between words, Xu Yang couldn't help but scold when he heard the news at first, it, what's wrong with Lao Tzu and his wife's affection, it's your business, but then I thought about it, it turned out that I was following in Li Jing's footsteps.
When I read the history books that Li Jing did not reward and blame when he returned from his victory over the Turks, Xu Yang thought that this was nonsense in the history books, and a general who eliminated the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty would not be rewarded at all because of the misbehavior of his soldiers, and he was not given the land until later?
O high merit and earthquake lord! Only then did Xu Yang understand that this was not the reason of those ministers, nor was it Li Jing's reason, but because Li Er's political government needed to suppress Li Jing's arrogance of victory, so there was such a farce in which the victorious lord would not be sealed.
Obviously, the protagonist of the farce has now become himself, unable to resist, unable to complain, can only accept silently, as a modern person, Xu Yang obviously does not have the great personal quality of the ancient Chinese working people to be obedient, if Lao Tzu is unhappy, Lao Tzu will not do it.
Where does the confidence come from? There is one academy that gathers many bigwigs, and there is another one, and finally there is one academy that gathers many bigwigs, and there is one more, that is, friends with Guang.
Whether it is Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng of Taoism, or Lu Deming and Yan Zhitui of Confucianism, these people have some good personal relations with themselves, and they have more Fang Xuanling in the court, Niu Jinda, these uncles, all of whom take good care of themselves, and now they are tied with the Silla royal family, plus the newly recognized Tuli Khan, it can be said that Xu Yang's friends are now all over the world, and almost everyone in the ocean-going sailors knows himself as a general, and there are people who want to travel to the ends of the earth and are entertained by boat.
With such an attitude, Xu Yang's ocean-going fleet slowly docked at Taicang Wharf
At this time, the court was already full of people, Kong Yingda and several old people were already gearing up, and the impeachment chapter had already been written, just waiting for the return of the general who had returned from a great victory, so as to rub the young man's sharpness.
Li Jing has not come back from guarding the Turks now, Li Ji has been transferred to Lingnan to deal with overseas affairs, and the three crops of rice have been harvested for another season, and the yield has simply shocked Li Er's jaw, if it weren't for the fact that this thing can only be planted in Lingnan, Li Er feels that this crop alone can make Datang everything prosperous.
For Xu Yang's return, Li Er was really a little speechless, he only allocated 3,000 people at the beginning, one was because the Tang Dynasty really couldn't draw troops, and the other didn't want Xu Yang, who had already been passed on to the country, to make great contributions, because it was really not good to reward, and if he sealed it again, he would already be like those old men in the Qin Palace, which was absolutely impossible.
But now this kid actually doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he will kill with one blow, not only beating Yuangai Suwen, but even he himself was stunned, three thousand against one hundred thousand, and he could capture fifty thousand people, Li Er didn't know how he did it.
The voice in the court is surprisingly unified now, the old man faction led by Kong Yingda of the civil official group ignored Xu Yang's achievements, and stubbornly caught Xu Yang's misconduct, and used this as an excuse to impeach Xu Yang for all his credits, which is exactly what he wants to see, Fang Xuanling and others have long seen their thoughts, and they are not willing to bother to speak, holding the jade card, silent, only Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi are a little indignant.
Hey, Li Er sighed lightly, and had to grieve Xu Yang, some things are not up to him alone, in order to take care of the overall situation, Li Er can only turn a blind eye to Xu Yang's contribution to this big victory and stand on Kong Yingda's side.
"Support the Silla army to enter the court!" A eunuch shouted, and many footsteps sounded outside the Liangyi Palace, which were the footsteps of many sergeants, neat and powerful, Li Er showed a smile of relief, and Xu Yang's big victory also reflected from the side how brave and good his Xuanjia army was.
The civil officials in the hall subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, they had already planned to have a debate with Xu Yang, who was known as Guiguzi, with high morale, and come to a Tang Dynasty version of the tongue war group Confucianism, so that they could be famous for a hundred years.
The footsteps stopped outside the Liangyi Hall.
A pair of general's boots slowly walked in, wearing a bloody battle robe, and the armor was already a little gray, which could be seen that this general uniform had been around for some years.
"Long live our emperor! The last general Niu Jinda was ordered to go out to Silla with illness to resist the alliance of Goryeo, Wa and Baekje, fortunately did not disgrace the mission, the army of 3,000 attacked out of the city at night, broke 100,000 Goryeo soldiers, surrendered 50,000 people, and countless escapees, the siege of Silla has been lifted, and the last general has come to restore his life! Niu Jinda knelt on one knee and said with a high spirit.
At this time, Li Er was a little dazed, poking his head out and looking at the black people behind Niu Jinda, but he didn't find Xu Yang's shadow, but there was a very familiar foreigner at the front, Li Er suddenly couldn't remember who this person was.
The civil officials in the main hall who were originally gearing up were also stunned, why did Xu Yang disappear?
"Niu Aiqing is flat, Aiqing was born and died for my Tang Dynasty, and won this great victory, which is indispensable, but why didn't I see Xu Yang, the marquis of the country, the main general of this march?" Li Er asked curiously.
"Oh, back to Your Majesty, the main general Xu Yang was attacked by someone on the way back from Youzhou, and now he has returned to Xujiazhuang to recuperate, so I don't know if I see him." Niu Jinda held back a smile and said.
Li Er was shocked when he heard this, such a big thing happened, he didn't receive the news, in fact, it is not strange, the three-hundred-mile expedited in Youzhou is not as fast as the waterway with the steam engine on, and the urgent letter is still on the way.
"Who attacked? Xu Aiqing's injured Yan zhòng don't be strict? Li Er asked with concern.
Niu Jinda really blushed a little and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, General Xu is just a little frightened, and he can come to the court after a few days of cultivation." ”
Li Er's face was worried, although he was worried that Xu Yang's credit was too great, but for such a rare talent, he still cherished it very much.
"Sue sù me, who is so bold as to attack the imperial court officials?"
When Niu Jinda heard this, the expression on his face was a little exciting, he turned his head to look at the Tuli Khan next to him, and then said, "Your Majesty, it is your brother, the Tuli Khan." ”R1152
