Volume III. Chapter 19. On the way back to Beijing (middle)
Few people in Han Xu would have thought that Xiao Mo would also be meritorious today, today! Tea root:. 【Reading Network】Point prestige. At the beginning of the end of the war, he went to great lengths to write such a plea.
But it's true.
Emperor Chu Ling is indeed a generous old man, and he also trusts Xiao Mo very much, in the secret decree sent to Xiao Mo a few days ago, in addition to asking for advice, he also reminded Xiao Mo that although Xiao Mo has made unprecedented achievements in the Chu Dynasty for more than 100 years, the court is not praising Xiao Mo, but there are quite a few imperial histories who impeach Xiao Mo with secret actions. Although he was suppressed by Emperor Chu Ling, this undercurrent became more and more turbulent with the accumulation of time, and as far as Emperor Chu Ling knew, many ministers of imperial history had joined forces and were ready to attack Xiao Mo on the day of Xiao Mo's return. Therefore, in the secret decree, he reminded Xiao Mo to prepare early.
Even, Emperor Chu Ling forwarded the secret music presented by the imperial historians after erasing out the names
Desert.
In these secret recitals, Xiao Mo found that the reason why he was impeached was mainly concentrated in three aspects.
First, acting beyond the limits of authority, without a monarch.
This refers to the time when Xiao Mo exchanged grain and grass for those captured officials and Confucian scholars in the hands of the grassland coalition army. did not report to Emperor Chu Ling in advance. Rather, it is decided directly. Although Xiao Mo is the supervisor of Shangyuan City, he is in charge of all military and political affairs on the battlefield, but in the eyes of those senior officials in the court. The act of using grain and grass to fund the enemy is obviously not one of them.
Second, it violated the legal system of the ancestors and changed the system for personal gain.
This refers to Xiao Mo's order to boost morale when the army of Shangyuan City fell into a disadvantage and low morale that day. Privately announced to nearly 100,000 people in Shangyuan City that after the war, these soldiers would be separated from the military and turned into civilians.
Third. Cold-hearted and ruthless, driving the people to death.
Know, 10,000
This refers to the fact that when the grassland coalition army drove the people to attack the city, Xiao Mo used the help of Xianbei Bu Xiangen to send secret envoys to mix with the captured people in advance, and before the grassland coalition army attacked the city, he instigated the people to riot, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack while causing chaos in the grassland coalition army. Although the grassland coalition army was severely damaged that night, more than half of the more than 100,000 Chu people who were captured were killed or wounded. Bodies littered the field overnight.
In such a world, the Chinese family has always ignored merit and only looked at guilt. Forcing everyone in the world to be a saint and a perfect person, to act in a proper manner, without the slightest mistake or the slightest flaw. There will be people who will hold on to it, and it will still be mentioned often after the ear years to warn future generations.
In such a situation, if someone really says that you are at fault, you can't argue strongly, you can only "change it if you have it, and if you don't, you will be reluctant" The Chu Dynasty's rule of "asking for guilt" also comes from this.
What's more, these impeachment of Xiao Mo by the imperial history are indeed facts.
The reason why it is difficult to write a merit excerpt lies in the reconciliation of interests, and the reason why it is difficult to write a guilty excerpt. It's about how to confess your sins.
If you say a few words of explanation that "forced by the situation, there is no other way", the punishment will not be too severe, but if there is a fundamental culpability, it must not be admitted.
In Xiao Mo's eyes. Crimes such as "acting beyond his authority, violating the legal system of his ancestors without a monarch, and privately reforming the system" seem to be extremely criminal. But in fact, it was just a matter of Emperor Chu Ling's words; At most, it is just a demotion and punishment, compared with Xiao Mo's meritorious service. It is even more indeservible.
The culpability that really gave Xiao Mo a headache was the final crime of "being ruthless and driving the people to death", which is resolutely unadmitted. Otherwise, Xiao Mo's reputation among the government and the opposition will be lost. Countless infamy has fallen.
In an environment like the Chu Dynasty, once your prestige is lost, then your political future will be worthless
Finish.
After understanding this principle, I checked it again. After realizing that there are no loopholes. Finally put it down, his eyes swept over the few copies of the impeachment folds on the corner of the table, but he picked up one casually and opened it. After looking at it twice, he threw it aside. A chuckle tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Ignoring meritorious deeds, only looking at responsibility, the people of the country see that they don't care about other people's limelight and like to make trouble in secret. But it remains the same in ancient times. Xiao Mo muttered to himself: "But it's okay, I'm really too much like a budding bird during this time." I want to come to the court for only half a year, and I have already been from the official position of Wupin, and now I have made such a meritorious service, and I don't know what position to move to the left after returning to the court, the limelight is too strong, it's good to give you some excuses to press,"
On that day, Xiao Mo discussed with Zhang Maozong, Fan Xiang and others about his countermeasures after entering the court, originally Xiao Mo felt that he should be in a high position, if he was young, he would not be able to rise in the future, and he would be jealous of the royal family. However, Zhang Maozong and Fan Xiang strongly recommended that Xiao Mo should try their best to expand their power while Emperor Chu Ling was still alive and favored Xiao Mo, and then implement the strategy of Taoguang and obscurity after the power is successful in the future, so that there are countless protégés and old officials under the door to help each other. As long as you pay attention to the speed of promotion in the later stage, you can advance and retreat.
At that time, Xiao Mo adopted the advice of Zhang Maozong and Fan Xiang, but now that time has passed, the situation is very different, although Emperor Chu Ling is still there. The favor is still there. But Xiao Mo is still no
People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries, no matter what. At the age of less than twenty, he has only been in the DPRK for half a year. has today's status and prestige, which is not only an unprecedented glory, but also an unprecedented long-term worry. Xiao Mo came from later generations and was familiar with historical events. Naturally, such a mistake would not be made.
Muttering to himself. Xiao Mo seemed relaxed and casual. But the eyes are gradually deepening.
But he thought of something else.
The impeachment of these secret envoys, the first two crimes of "acting beyond his authority and seeing no monarch" and "violating the legal system of the ancestors and privately reforming the system", complained of Xiao Mo's actions, because of the huge impact, so everyone in Shangyuan City knew about it, and it would not surprise Xiao Mo when it was later transmitted to the capital.
But the third crime "cold-hearted and ruthless, driving the people to death", Xiao Mo did it extremely secretly, before and after the incident, it was all Xiao Mo's cronies and descendants who were in charge, even Liu Xingzhi and others, the Taishou of Shangyuan City, and Zhao Ying, who was always with Xiao Mo, did not know at all, and how did those imperial histories know?
In Emperor Chu Ling's secret decree, he also mentioned the first two crimes, but he paid the most attention to this impeachment, and rarely showed a stern meaning during the questioning, it was obvious that once this accusation came true, it would inevitably greatly reduce Xiao Mo's status in the eyes of Emperor Chu Ling, who had always believed in Taoism.
Who leaked this? And who is using this to attack themselves?
Thinking of this, the contemplative color in Xiao Mo's eyes became even stronger.
"It shouldn't be Zhang Qian, he has always only said what Emperor Chu Ling likes to hear, at this time. It shouldn't be that he will let his disciples act rashly, and this old guy has never done things that he is not sure of, he knows very well that these crimes cannot be completely transferred to me" It will not be Wang Han, he will also use me to compete with Zhang Qian, although his meritorious service in presiding over the peace talks this time is great, it is far less than Zhang Qian's grandson Zhang Yansheng's meritorious service in capturing the city behind enemy lines. Compared with before, the two families of King Zhang received the holy favor. On the contrary, the gap is getting wider and wider", and it will not be the Eight Sages King, who is far away in the north during this time, and he is not able to command his disciples in the court,"
Thinking about it, Xiao Mo's body suddenly shook. But I thought of another kind of mandarin.
A possibility that is even more terrifying than Zhang Qian, Wang Han, the Eight Sages and others playing against themselves.
"Could it be the Yuxian Xianmu of Songshan Academy?"
After all, Deng Shang knows everything about Xiao Mo's actions. And through Deng Shangquan, Niu Yuxian is also very clear about Xiao Mo's every move.
But then, Xiao Mo shook his head and denied such a possibility, Songshan Academy's biggest opponents now are still Zhang Qian and Wang Han who are blocking their forces from entering the court in a big way, and in the future, they will inevitably make great use of Xiao Mo's volume, no matter how they think about it, they will not deal with themselves now.
Thinking like this, Xiao Mo let out a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to give in at such a time. The academy turned its face.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhu Mo suddenly raised his voice and said, "Shang Quan, you come in." ”
As Xiao Mo's voice fell. Deng Shangquan quietly entered the study and lowered his head and hands. Quietly waiting for Xiao Mo's orders.
"Cao Fei has any changes these days?"
Xiao Mo asked slowly.
Cao Fei was originally a Jiangyang thief who disguised his identity through the six doors, but was seized by Fan Xiang and took the opportunity to subdue him. became Xiao Mo's personal guard, but these days, all kinds of signs show that he doesn't have much loyalty to Xiao Mo, when he was in the capital before. When various forces in the DPRK and China were in contact with the people around Xiao Mo. The attitude is also ambiguous.
Because of this, Xiao Mo no longer trusts him, and the relationship is even more distant compared to Chuda. It's gradually giving up.
Thinking about it, Xiao Mo felt it. The person most likely to leak secrets is undoubtedly his former personal guard Cao Fei.
Know, 10,000
Di Shangquan didn't know why Xiao Mo suddenly asked Cao Fei, but he still replied quickly: "Go back to your lord." Cao Fei has been very responsible these days, although you haven't seen him for many days, you haven't seen any complaints from him, just staying in his room all day. ”
Hearing Deng Shangquan's answer, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
If things are abnormal, they are demons. With Cao Fei's temperament, how could he be so peaceful?
And just when Xiao Mo wanted to give something. Liu Xingzhi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Lord Xiao is here? Shangyuan City Liu Xingzhi and Lord Bo Liu Mian asked to see. ”
