Chapter 538: Use Spring and Autumn to Release the Tiger
Han Zhigu was captured as a slave in his early years, and the Khitan tendency was very serious. Development has only begun to flourish since Han Derang. Earlier is the Han Yanhui family, before entering the Khitan, he was the envoy of Youzhou to observe the festival, and his father Han Mengyin tired the official Ji Rushun Sanzhou Thorn History, and was active in the Youzhou area. Therefore, after Han Yanhui entered the Khitan, the four dynasties were quite reused, and his descendants were no less prosperous than the Han Zhigu family.
The Liu family was a descendant of Liu Yi, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty's Lulong Festival, and his son Liu Shoujing saw the war in the Central Plains and surrendered to the Liao State with Zhao Yanshou. His family was also noble for a while, and several sons married Khitan princesses and were captains of horses. The most glorious one was Liu Jing first, and then Liu Liufu.
The Ma family is the descendant of Ma Yinqing, the Qingzhou Thorn of the Shi Jin Dynasty, Liao Taizong raised troops to destroy the Jin, his people did not fall, Liao Taizong released it, moved his clan to Youzhou Yiwu Lu Mountain, since then the descendants of Liao, the most famous is Ma Renwang, once for the governor of the political affairs, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan. There is also a family, the Ma Zhiwen family, whose family lives here, and lives in the swallow thistle. Therefore, it is impossible for future generations to distinguish between them.
Zhao Siwen of the Zhao family once served as the commander of the three states of Pingzhou in the Later Tang Dynasty and Pingying Ji, and after the surrender of Liao, he was quite valued by the Khitan because of his bravery and good fighting.
This would have been nothing.
However, the Khitan territory did not adopt the Song system, but continued to retain the Tang Dynasty system. That is, a big family, Zhuang Xia has many subordinates and customers, but in fact they are slaves. There is no personal freedom, including the client. The master can beat the traders, slaves and clients at will, and even decide whether they live or die.
The proprietor himself owns countless farms, farms, slave households, oxen, camels, carts and horses, and he can't know the number, as for the gold and white jade, beads and rhinos to wear, utensils and clothes, and good playing tools, they can't be counted with chips. The Khitan court was helpless, the approach was too much, and it sent people to check the hidden households, but it was repeatedly unsuccessful. I can't force it, I don't dare to offend too much. If these major families led the people to surrender to the Song Dynasty, the sixteen states of Youyun would not be able to keep it. once let the horse people look to check, you are a member of the Ma family, and it is not easy to offend them. The centaurs are not stupid and perfunctory.
There are yeoman people, few, heavy taxes, and heavier burdens. Life isn't necessarily much better than those customers.
Why don't these tribals rebel with the customer?
This is a system that has been formulated since the Tang Dynasty and is accustomed to it. The system of the Song Dynasty is quite humane, but how do the people know.
These big families formed close ties with the Khitan magnates, and they prospered when the Khitan prospered, and they died when the Khitan died. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi led his troops to recover Youzhou. Several major families cooperated with Han Derang with their subordinates and customers, and fought bloodily, so that the Song Dynasty could not recover Youzhou.
That's why it's even more important.
It's a bit difficult to crack, but if you find out the reason, sooner or later you will find a way to solve it.
The group came to Xishan and set up a large camp by the Sanggan River to rest.
When night fell, listening to the mountain waves outside, Zheng Lang couldn't sleep for a long time. It was immediately in Youzhou.
For the Song people. Youzhou is a pain or a pain, but for Zheng Lang, it is a sacred place.
Zheng Lang said to Guo Kui: "Zhongtong, I saw one thing, see if you have a way to resolve it." ”
"Xianggong, what's the matter?"
Zheng Lang said what was in his heart.
"Zheng Xianggong wants to rebel against these subordinates and customers?"
"Is it that easy to rebel? I want these parts and customers to yearn for the Song Dynasty. If this is the case, when our dynasty has a chance to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, their resistance will not be fierce. Without the cooperation of these parts and customers, it would only be those big families. What kind of people can they mobilize? ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy. The Khitan has a strict guard against our dynasty, and they cannot send scouts to lobby these manors. The first is not to believe, and the second is to lobby in the front, and the Khitans will be arrested later. ”
"What if the trade was a little bigger?" …,
"Zheng Xianggong wants these businessmen to witness it with their own eyes and let them spread the word for themselves?"
"That's what I thought."
"I'm afraid it won't work, because of the endless war on the border, the people are living very hard, in the past, there was a drought in Youzhou, and in order to be friendly, I accepted some people to vote for them, and after the drought, they were sent back to Khitan, and they did not succeed. The suspense is not large, and the temptation is insufficient. Unless the people of Hedong in Hebei Province are as wealthy as Hangzhou, it will be attractive. ”
Impossible.
In that case, the Song Dynasty would have entered capitalism earlier.
"Zhongtong, you have other good ideas."
"It's about difficult, you talked to Liu Liufu all the way, and my subordinates also heard some on the side, the Khitan treats these big families very well, and it won't work at all to rebel from top to bottom."
"I haven't thought about a top-down rebellion." Zheng Lang said: "Take your time, anyway, don't be in a hurry, if you want to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the imperial court must be careful to operate for more than twenty years." ”
"We also need good governance, otherwise once a war starts, the Khitan will break the net with me."
"Yes," Zheng Lang sighed depressedly as he lay on the bed. He was sure of annihilating Western Xia, but he was not half sure of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
The wind was more urgent, the pine waves were gusting, and the two of them fell asleep for a while.
……
After the New Year's Day, he led a large army from the Changchun River, the prancing horse mixed with the Tongjiang River (Songhua River), saw the Khitan menacing, and the nearby Pulu Maoduo (living in the north of Changbai Mountain, used to call Pulu Maoduo, Changbai Mountain and Tumen River estuary near the mouth of the sea for the (氵 Sui) 貊部 called the East Jurchen) several units to descend.
Only then did Liao Xingzong satisfy his vanity and retreat to the Changchun River.
I was very happy to hear that Zheng Lang should come. But there was no expectation that Zheng Lang would surrender to the Khitan immediately and consult with the ministers. In the end, he came up with a step-by-step method to make Zheng Lang into the world.
Then he led the ministers and soldiers to leave the place where the Changchun River was making a bowl and quickly went south to Youzhou.
is not only because he wants to treat Zheng Lang ceremoniously, but there is also one thing, he also has to go south, which happens to be used to deal with Zheng Lang.
When I came to Youzhou City, it was already March, spring was full of the earth, and the original wild machine was proud.
The ministers of Youzhou came out to greet them, and Liao Xingzong asked, "What about the Song envoy?" ”
It is not yet possible to call Zheng Lang his minister.
"He's giving a lecture in Guozijian," Xiao Hui replied.
The southerners like this set, Liao Xingzong said in his heart. In fact, he himself liked this set, saying, "Take me to see it." ”
In order to appease the Han people in the territory, the Khitan set up a Guozijian in Wujingbi. Nanjing's Guozijian was the largest, and Youzhou was also the largest city in the Khitan, with a population of 400,000, and it was also a large city in the Song Dynasty.
Zheng Lang gave a lecture in the largest school in Guozijian, and the audience was like a mountain. The people inside couldn't sit, so they had to stand, and even the windows outside were full of people. Hearing the smugness, some Confucian scholars shook their heads. Indeed, the two sides differed too much in Confucian attainments.
Some people heard the smell, but when Liao Xingzong arrived, they didn't hear it, and their ears were just concentrated indoors.
Zheng Lang heard it. He walked out of the academy and made a courtier salute. Zheng Lang doesn't care about this, as long as he can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, what does it matter if he kneels? Affordability is what Zheng Lang values most.
Liao Xingzong looked at him with great satisfaction and said, "Zheng Qing, you and I have been friends for a long time. ”
His subordinates stole Zheng Lang's words. It has nothing to do with him, Zheng Lang wrote some words and words to him, which is a bit of a miracle.
"Your Majesty, don't dare."
"I ask you, in the battle of Hequ, did you deliberately let me and Yuan Hao lose both?" To this day, the Khitan monarchs and ministers are suspicious. This was beneficial to the Song Dynasty. Then he looked at Guo Kui again, and frowned dissatisfiedly, why did he let this person be the deputy envoy. Isn't that disgusting? …,
"Your Majesty, no. Before the First World War of Hequ, the ministers were worried in Ding, and according to the ancient funeral system, they could only talk about the topics within the funeral, and other topics were called unfilial piety. ”
"Yes, yes," an elder of the Liu family nodded his head repeatedly.
Liao Xingzong rolled his eyes at the elder, then looked at Zheng Lang and asked, "Then why did you send Guo Kui to my military camp?" ”
"Your Majesty. This battle has nothing to do with the ministers. It was Zhang Kang who heard in Daizhou that His Majesty and Yuan Hao's army were displayed, and a fierce battle could break out at any time......" said and walked dozens of steps. When they came to the door, the others understood and didn't follow, after all, they wanted to save a little face for Liao Xingzong, Zheng Lang said: "Zhang Kang has analyzed, although Your Majesty occupies morality as a monarch and a minister, he can not occupy much of it. The reason why Yuan Hao was cut down was originally to force Yuan Hao to ask for peace for me. Yuan Hao and our dynasty have reached a peace agreement, and His Majesty will send troops again, losing morality in this regard, and making the Western Xia soldiers become mourning troops. The place of battle was located in the desert area, and the wind and sand were ruthless, which was even more unfavorable to the Northern Korean army. Your Majesty again underestimated the enemy, but His Majesty was at fault, and wrote me a letter. I then wrote to my majesty and asked him to arrange manpower just in case. I didn't expect His Majesty to be really careless, especially Yuan Hao personally went to the camp to ask for surrender, Xixia was scattered, the foundation was not deep, once His Majesty captured Yuan Hao in the military camp, captured the ministers with the king, and then arranged him to Zhongjing or Shangjing to serve as an official, Yuan Hao was not wronged, and occupied the righteousness, the Western Xia group of dragons had no leader, and it was bound to be defeated. But who would have expected this? ”
Liao Xingzong let him say nothing back, and said gloomily: "I made a mistake. ”
"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Although your country is the most powerful of the three kingdoms, can it be compared to the Tang Dynasty? Zheng Lang flickered. When I came to Khitan this time, I was ready to fool this little emperor desperately, and with this little emperor's soft-hearted and medium IQ, it was easier to fool. On the contrary, it is difficult to fool Zhao Zhen.
"Not at all." Liao Xingzong replied honestly. If the Tang Dynasty did not decline, where would the Khitan succeed?
"Your Majesty, I won't say anything about the late Tang Dynasty, but let's just say that in the early stage, I was defeated by Tubo several times, and the loss of soldiers and horses before and after reached more than 400,000, and then I was defeated by the Xi people, and your country, and then I was defeated by the Yan Dynasty, the Later Turks, and the Great Food. But in the end, it spans all the seas and has the largest territory in the world. His Majesty's defeat was only a momentary carelessness, but the Northern Dynasty soldiers were strong and strong, and if they wanted to take revenge, they could stand by at any time, this time the army was defeated, will it be defeated next time? And Western Xia is not all desert areas. To the grassland, which country can match the army of the Northern Dynasties? ”
"I heard that you have a very gentle personality, and you can really speak."
"Wouldn't it be better to be able to speak in a gentle manner. However, if the minister is stubborn, he will also be stubborn. ”
"That is, otherwise you are not a good minister, but a minister. Who is Zhang Kang you are talking about, but that Zhang Kang in Daizhou? ”
"That's the man."
"He's got some vision."
"Military strategy, he is far above the ministers, and above the ministers, there are several generals such as Di Qing, Wang Xin, and Chong Shiheng."
"Can they be compared to Zhang Kang?"
"Each has its own characteristics, and there are few differences."
"Didn't you command the Northwest Campaign?"
"Ministers can only be called involved, but in fact, these generals play a greater role than ministers."
Zheng Lang's voice, you just get me, the Song Dynasty is still very strong, Liao Xingzong suddenly believed and doubted, and said: "You continue to drive in, let me listen to it." ”
The place where Zheng Lang passed this time was very sensational, and the people of almost all states and counties ran out to watch. Especially those Confucian students, one by one became crazy. Some Confucian scholars specially chased from Yunshuo to Youzhou to listen to Zheng Lang's speech.
What did they say to make the Confucian students in the territory crazy to such a point?
Liao Xingzong was curious, he was also reading Confucian books, so he wanted to hear it.
"Oh," Zheng Lang said calmly. …,
looks not very handsome, but even Liao Xingzong is moved, neither humble nor arrogant. He received many envoys from the Song Dynasty, almost never from other envoys. Fu Bi is good, but he has a resentful taste, and he can smell it from afar. Bao Zheng is good, serious, and quite boring. More people are soft-boned. It can only be done only by promises.
Zheng Lang continued, and he glanced at the emperor. It can't be said that the little emperor is running for thirty.
He thought of one thing, his mother, Xiao Yunjin, who was rumored to be very ugly, with a dark face and eyes like a wolf. I'm afraid it's an exaggeration, Liao Shengzong is not a favor, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with a Yelu Chongyuan. Or does Liao Shengzong have a different appetite than others and like ugly women?
Ugly is not afraid, but this woman is very vicious, and Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the queen of Liao Shengzong, is very good to her, but as soon as Liao Shengzong died, he immediately eradicated Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's maiden family and forced Brother Xiao Bodhisattva to death. The little emperor couldn't bear it, and persuaded a few words, causing her dissatisfaction. Liao Xingzong was forced by his mother's obscenity. I had to back down. However, this woman was still dissatisfied, and teamed up with Xiao Xiaoxian to try to abolish Liao Xingzong. He was appointed as emperor. Dare to love her, she wants to be the second Wu Zetian.
Yelu Chongyuan secretly informed his brother that Liao Xingzong would preemptively regain power. Capture her and trap her in Khitan Gyeongju. When it comes to imperial power, people will also become beasts, so Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, a weak and good person, after Zhang Cambodia launched a successful coup, isolated Wu Zetian from Shangyang Palace, inside and outside, until Wu Zetian died. However, the little emperor was very good, and he released his mother back three years later. Xiao Yunjin was still unwilling at this time, and kept making small movements below, which made Liao Xingzong anxious.
The saddest thing is that after the death of Liao Xingzong, Xiao Yunjin saw his daughter-in-law Xiao Tzuli crying and said, you are still young, why grieve like this.
Aren't they just men, there are a lot of wild men outside!
She later died, but because of her small actions, Yelu Chongyuan's father and son rebelled.
People say that tiger poison does not eat children, or that they pity the hearts of parents in the world, and the hearts of parents are good, but not for everyone. Some people are the best, their own sons, and they still eat it!
When you encounter such parents, you can only blame yourself for not doing good things in your previous life.
Zheng Lang thought of this, and he had an idea, and said: "Your Majesty is here, and the minister will talk about "Spring and Autumn" first. ”
The Confucian scholars nodded, the Spring and Autumn Period mainly focused on the rise and fall of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Zheng Lang transferred from the "Book of Songs" to the "Spring and Autumn Period", which is very reasonable.
After a while, Liao Xingzong understood the reason why so many Confucian students went crazy.
Zheng Lang did not prepare manuscripts and related books for his lectures, but he did not make any mistakes when explaining. Moreover, in just a while, Liao Xingzong heard dozens of allusions to historical books and scriptures. Nodding, knowledgeable. A Confucian student is even more stupid to listen to.
"The book says, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, Duan is not a brother, so he does not say a brother, such as the second gentleman, so he is called Ke."
The cadres shook their heads again, and the master's criticism was good.
"Called Zheng Bo, Kang is also uneducated, and he is called Zheng Zhi. This is not for the public, but for the uncle, which is to degrade his lord. The way of parents, how happy is the younger brother, this is love. However, in ancient times, many people stood long and not young, which is called the governor of the elder. Therefore, Wu Gong does not establish a section but establishes Zhuang Gong. ”
shook their heads together, a very concise sentence, explaining the relationship between the eldest son and the youngest son at home.
"Youyun, the eldest brother is the father, and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, which is also the reason. Duan has been born and is talented, and it is not difficult to teach. But it is a shame to nurture and extinguish, so the history books are ashamed. For example, Your Majesty, brotherhood and friendship, the good name spreads far and south in our country, this is the way. ”
This is the pride of Liao Xingzong, and when he heard Xingzhi, he also shook his head, and held Yelu Chongyuan's hand tightly.
Zheng Lang smiled dumbly in his heart.
That's what I want. continued to talk about authentic things: "The public said, in the tunnel, the joy is also harmonious, and Jiang comes out and says, in the tunnel, the joy is also vented." So the mother and son are the same. Filial piety is the head of all virtues in the world, and Tubo lives on the snowy plateau, and no one can destroy its country. However, his sex will insult the old, and the parents will work hard to feed their children as adults, and they will have nothing to rely on when they are old, but they will become cattle and horses. So morality collapsed, and it collapsed for a while. to this day. Although he is strong, his son splits his country, and Yuan Hao is dominant. Therefore, Her Royal Highness Princess Xingping is heroic, and I praise the people, but she can't bear Yuan Hao's mother. Although his people are unruly, there will be a retribution, and we will wait and see. Filial piety is the foundation of the family. If the upper is not kind and the lower is not filial, the family will inevitably break down. The country is also composed of a number of small families. If there is discord in the family, there will be discord in the country. Therefore, filial piety is the head of all virtues and the cornerstone of the country. Jiang has a brutal personality, few people can reach it, and after all, people are also human, and people must have humanity, so Zhuang Gong entered the tunnel, and his happiness was harmonious and vented, and the mother and son were reconciled as before. Therefore, the master said, Uncle Ying, pure filial piety, love his mother, and give to Zhuang Gong. ”
This time, no one shook their heads, and all of them secretly looked at Liao Xingzong.
Zheng Lang's meaning is very clear, Your Majesty, your mother and son have today, you are really not wrong, you saw your mother retreating for dozens of miles, how could your mother change her mind? Or do you kill your birth mother? Again, it can't be. Take the initiative to put down your frame and honor her. She is also human, with a human heart, not a beast's heart. As soon as you are moved, your mother and son are reconciled as before, then the people of the world have set a good example, just like the relationship between you and your brother. If your family is reconciled, then there will be more Khitan families reconciled, and the whole Khitan country will be more peaceful and fraternal.
It stands to reason that this is good saying.
Zheng Lang himself is famous for his filial piety, and he is also a Confucian, so it is reasonable to say this.
In fact, Zheng Lang knows very well that others have human hearts, but Xiao Yunjin has the heart of a beast.
Now Liao Xingzong's strict precautions are a little better, if it is loosened, it will release the most fierce tiger in the world out of the cage.
Who knows about Guan Ta'an's thoughts?
What's worse is that it is also said that Zhongliao Xingzong is deep in his heart. He didn't want the mother-son relationship to become like this, the mother-son relationship had reached this point, which made him sad, lowered his head and said nothing.
Zheng Lang's gorgeous big flickering journey kicked off......
