Chapter 140 is the same as the privy two kinds of people

After Lu Jialing left, Zhe Silun convened the core figures of the two families of Zhe Yang to discuss, and the younger generation said that this matter was feasible, and had to do it - now there will be a big event in the east, and the imperial court will not take care of it at all, if it is not for the construction of Lu Jialing, the two prefectures of Fulin will not be able to feed these 300,000 people, and in the end, the grain and grass will be cut off, not only will the victims be in trouble, but also the 300,000 people will be in chaos, and the local people of Fuzhou Linzhou will also suffer - this area is a strategic place to block the Khitan in the north and curb the party in the west, and a mess will inevitably bring disaster to the country. And the court also surrendered to the condemnation than the decree. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

However, there are also those who advocate prudence, such as Yang Ren, who believes that he should first discuss with Zhang Xichong and Yang Zezhong's letters, and then decide on major matters.

Zhe Silun asked from afar, Fold from afar: "The distance from Fuzhou to Lingzhou is not close, the correspondence is protracted, and we have to make other preparations when the decision is made, I am afraid that we will mistake the people." Besides, could it be that as soon as Zhang Linggong Yang Thorn Shi's letter arrives, will we definitely be able to decide? Zhang Linggong Yang Thorn Shi is far away in Shuofang, and their mention can only be referred to, and in the end, we still have to consider it. ”

"So what do you mean?"

Fold from afar: "The leaders of the Tiance Army are very powerful, look at their plans to win Shule, Qiuzi, Guiyi Army and other major battles, they have always taken one step, counting ten steps, although now Marshal Zhang is marching west thousands of miles away, but he may not care about the Central Plains at all, their intentions, I don't think it's just to help the victims - only the benevolence of women, it is impossible to swallow thousands of miles and just for relief, and there is no need to send a figure like Lu Jialing"

Several young and younger children were taken aback, and said, "Brother, is it saying that the Tiance Army wants to seek our Fuzhou and Linzhou?" ”

Zhi Congyuan snorted and said: "The current Tiance is no longer the Anxi of the past, since they have the strength to defeat the Khitan and Hui at the same time, they will not move to the east, if they have a plan, it will never be just for Fuzhou and Linzhou."

Yang Ren was shocked: "Is that for the entire Guanzhong, or Hedong?" ”

Fold from afar: "I'm afraid it's not more"

The hall was silent for a while, everyone was in a heavy mood, and they seemed to think of something, and finally, Zhi Silun broke the silence and sighed: "A character like Zhang Tiance, if you don't do it, if you do it, then the target must be the entire Central Plains."

Yang Ren said: "Uncle Zhe, what should we do?" Reject them? ”

Zhi Silun said: "If you reject them, what will happen to these 300,000 people?" ”

Yang Ren said: "There is really no way, I can only drive them to Yanzhou and Yinzhou." Anyway, the imperial court didn't ask our government and Lin to bear this matter alone, and when they arrived in Yan and Yin, they couldn't do it even if they wanted to. ”

Zhe Silun said: "Even if Yan and Yin Zhugong are forced to accept it, they may not be able to treat them well, and in the end, it is these 300,000 people who suffer. And if this thing had been done in the summer, and now that it was almost winter, if the victims were driven on the road, how many people would be able to stand the winter without food or clothing? On the road, when they are cold and hungry, the old and weak women and children must first lie down, and if there is no way for them to live, they will still have to cause trouble in the end. ”

He didn't elaborate on what kind of chaos it was, but Yang Ren had been in military affairs for a long time, and he had already thought that once there was chaos, the victims might cause a civil uprising, and after the civil uprising, these victims would not be disaster victims, but would become chaotic people, and the army could be used to suppress the chaotic people. These victims of the disaster in northern Jinbei are all outsiders, and they lack the foundation of the uprising in northern Qin, which is not easy to cause a chain effect on the local people who have a good harvest this year, and the neighboring states in northern Qinbei have armies that are good at fighting - this is a border area, and the garrison without a certain combat effectiveness cannot be supported, so if there is preparation for the civil uprising, it is not difficult for the army to suppress it. In the cold winter, a group of people freeze to death, and a group of butchers kill another group, and it is much easier to resettle the rest of the population - many ruthless regimes in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, often rely on this trick to solve the contradiction between food and population.

Zhi Congyuan and Yang Ren couldn't bear it, Yang Ren said: "We have made a good start, if we don't end well, then this good thing will also become an evil thing, it is better to refuse them to cross the Yellow River in the first place"

Fold from afar: "In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic, I think the mention of the Tiance Army may not be unacceptable." No matter what plans they have, as long as we firmly grasp the power of these 300,000 people, then even if as Lu Jialing said, a powerful force is formed between Shuofang, Dingnan, Fulin, and Eilechuan, but if this force is in our hands, then how to act in the future is not up to us. If Tiance has a conspiracy, it will also be our wedding dress. ”

"But what about the court?" Yang Ren said: "Such a big move as 300,000 people moving west, the imperial court can't hide it anyway. ”

"Why hide it" said from afar: "We can understand that we can ask the imperial court for an order, to the effect that the government and Lin can't afford it, and ask the imperial court to allow them to move west to Tuntian, and at the same time collect grain and grass from the people in Guannei and Shuofang for disaster relief, if the imperial court does not allow it, ask the imperial court to allocate grain for them to solve the problem"

Zhen Silun bowed his head and said: "What Yuan'er said is reasonable, okay, just do it." At that moment, it was decided that Yang Ren would negotiate with Lu Jialing, and let Zhi rush to Luoyang from the starry night to ask for advice. Fold from afar non-stop, rushed to the eastern capital of Luoyang, he Fold family is a family of border generals, in the Qin and Jin Dynasty has a great influence, Fold Congyuan personally rushed to the eastern capital, along the way of the wealthy family are provided with aspects, Fold Congyuan is energetic, only sleep two hours a day, in addition to being on horseback, day and night, not only one day, came to Luoyang, to the Privy Council to vote for the letter. Although Zhi Congyuan has the reputation of bravery, he is just a small military attache with sesame mung beans in Luoyang, and Fuzhou Linzhou is just a small chess piece on the border in the entire Central Plains, and now Li Congke is playing a big game of chess, how much effort to pay attention to him.

After waiting for three days, he was lined up to enter, and the privy deputy envoy Liu Yanlang urged him to say something quickly, and he had prepared a complete set of rhetoric from far away, but at this time, Liu Yanlang's impatient appearance had to be chosen, and this could not be carried out in an orderly manner, only talking about the fact that 300,000 disaster victims sent food to Fu and Lin, and the grain and grass in Erzhou were scarce, Liu Yanlang's face changed, and it was not the first time that Fuzhou Linzhou asked for food, Liu Yanlang hummed: "Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass, so what?" ”

"This ......" Zhi Congyuan is a military general, but the temple is not calm enough, Liu Yanlang is the privy deputy envoy, the official authority is so great, he was forced, Zhi Congyuan looked a little hasty, and said: "If the imperial court can allocate grain, it is the best ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Yanlang had already sneered: "I came to invite the grain court again to see that your Zhe clan is a wealthy family in the north, so I handed over this thousand catties of burden to you Now that the country is in an eventful autumn, I still expect you to share your worries for the country, you have not been loyal to the king, and you can't even do such a small thing as helping the victims, There is still a face to come to the eastern capital to ask for food" The official flicked his sleeves and blasted the fold out from afar

Fold Congyuan devoted himself to the country, was left behind in Luoyang for three days, he was already angry, and then he was so bombarded by Liu Yanlang, he was almost about to make trouble in the Privy Council, but he was not stunned, Xiao scored a weight, and was suppressed by Liu Yanlang's official authority, depressed and retreated, after coming out, he was bored and wanted to die Thinking about the privy deputy envoy at the same time, Lu Jialing went to Fuzhou in person, his words were so friendly, and he considered the other party what he said and did, but Liu Yanlang didn't let people say it completely, and compared with the two, he was even more depressed.

I thought for a while, it was better to go back to Fuzhou, but after thousands of miles into Beijing, there was no result, how could I go back?

But if you don't go back, now that you have been blasted out by the Privy Council, what can you do if you stay in the Eastern Capital?

Fortunately, there was an old man from the Privy Council who came to ask him to drink that night. But he didn't dare not be accompanied, after three rounds of drinking, Zhi Congyuan slightly complained that the court ignored the hardships of the government and Lin, and the old official said: "It is said that the Zhi family is a family in the north, and the son of the Zhi family is a person who has experienced the world, why is this time so unauthentic?" ”

Zhi Congyuan was stunned for a while, and hurriedly asked the old official for advice, and the old official smiled and said: "The old man came to the Eastern Capital this time, and Liu Xianggong (Liu Yanlang) did not go to the book or to pay the ceremony, and the due number of courtesies was not enough, and what could be done"

Fold from afar, and suddenly understood

It turned out that Liu Yanlang was greedy, and after taking power, he openly invited bribes, appointed and dismissed generals to guard the armies of Zhuzhou, not in the order of merit and ability, but to see who gave the big red envelope, he would give a fat shortage, and whoever gave the red envelope was not enough, so he was sent to a remote place, such as Zhang Xichong has been trying to transfer back to the Central Plains for many years, but because the favor is not enough, so he has been left in Shuofang, Yang Zezhong has mentioned this matter more than once in his letter to Zhi Congyuan, but Zhi Congyuan has just been from Lu Jialing to the Tiance Army's dignified and upright way of doing things, Everything I thought was a plan, but I forgot about it after coming to Luoyang

Thinking of the 300,000 victims in Luoyang waiting to be fed, the people who had nothing to do with Liangzhou were thousands of miles away to secretly send food to help, and the Zaizhi in Luoyang actually had to bribe himself before he was willing to do things, this gap made it really difficult to accept it for a while

The old official saw that Zhi Congyuan was silent, thinking that he had not yet opened his mind, and nodded: "Liu Xianggong's portal, not everyone is qualified to enter, because Zhi Gongzi is a famous family, Liu Xianggong looks at it differently, if Gongzi is not yet entered, it will be really chilling." ”

Zhi Congyuan Tie blushed and said: "Zhe Mou came to ask for the people's life this time, but he encountered such a dirty thing, who made who cold?" ”

The old official sneered when he heard this, and said: "What kind of joke is the son kidding about the relief money and food of 300,000 people, what a big number is this, and you will be rich enough to rival the country if you get a few points, and the prince wants to ask Liu Xianggong to take this lot of money and grain, but he doesn't pull out a dime, and this kind of thing, which dynasty or generation can't say."

Zhi Congyuan was stunned when he heard it, and Liu Yanlang thought that he wanted the relief money and food of the 300,000 people in order to extract benefits from it? He was stunned for a moment and then understood: just because Liu Yanlang himself is such a person, he thinks that everyone else is like this, and the old official in front of him is obviously sent by him to "appoint" himself to do good

He stood up angrily, and was about to make a generous statement, but looking at the old official's cunning appearance, he knew that he had been soaking in the big dye vat of the Eastern Capital for a long time, and it was useless to say what the country's righteousness told him, if his younger brother Xu Congshi or Yang Xin came, this time he would flip the table on the spot, but he still had a little patience, thinking that coming to the East was not to be a hero, but to come to do something and reluctantly said: "So that the old gentleman can know that he is really in a hurry to leave this time, although he brought some valuable property, he accidentally lost it when crossing the Yellow River, and I was going to go home and get the money again." , It's just that 300,000 victims are like seedlings in the drought, I really can't wait, I don't know if the old man has any way, I will borrow it, and I will try to return it when I go home. ”

The old official looked at him twice and said, "Childe's words are not prevarication, right?" If it weren't for the prevarication, I would have a way. "Immediately told him that there were also people in the capital who lent money, and he could be a middle-aged person, and he might be able to borrow it with the prestige of the Fold family, and he would ask him from afar. When the old official saw that he had no money, his face and heart were cold, but the next day his face became warm again, and he even said that he was lucky to be far away, and that his family was famous enough, and that there was a family willing to make friends with him, and he could see him today

Fold from afar with the old official to go, but it was a temple, the lender is a monk, the law name Hairuo, after hearing about his intention, Hairuo monk said: "Good good good general thousands of miles to run around, for the people to ask for their lives, although the old man is outside the world, how can he not help" immediately took out a box of pearls and two hundred taels of gold, and took out a trace of coupons to say: "With this coupon can go to the city Rui Fu Xiang, in exchange for two hundred pieces of silk." ”

Since the opening of the Silk Road, the price of silk has gradually risen, and many times it is still facing the point of having no market, but it is a hard currency that is harder than gold, and the old official's eyes are red when he sees these things taken out by the old monk

Zhi Congyuan also knew that this sum of money was not trivial, and thought that this old monk was also a person who had a heart for the country, so he did not refuse, but said: "The master is so generous, I also said bluntly, although my Fulin Erzhou has some property, but it is not Fuzhou, this property, I am afraid that it will take years to pay it back." ”

Monk Hairuo laughed and said: "What the general said is that there is a way: take it from the people and use it for the people." This amount of money is originally an offering to the good believers, if it can help the people of northern Jin, it is to help the good believers accumulate blessings, this money can be repaid by the general, if not, don't have to take it to heart"

The words of this sentence were full of joy from afar, thinking that he had met a good person this time, but the old official was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world

The old official saw that he had such a big face, and gave the reward money, and he was enthusiastic, flattering him back and forth, and running for him to contact, and in the evening he said back and forth: "After the second watch tonight, follow me into the house"

"At night?"

"Yes, this kind of thing, it's best at night" and pointed out the details of how to give gifts from afar.

Zhi Congyuan is a fierce general on the frontier, and he is not used to this kind of thing, but he thinks that he is for the people, and he has the right to endure it at the moment.

Entered Liu Yanlang's mansion that night, although he didn't do enough in many details, Liu Yanlang saw such a rich sum of materials, which is rare in recent years, where to care about these stubbles, so he folded in half and said from afar: "Fuzhou, Linzhou, very poor." I'll find a fat shortage for my brother in Shandong or Guanzhong. ”

After he received the money, he even changed his title.

Zhi Congyuan hurriedly said: "Xiang Gong Rong, Congyuan entered Beijing this time not for himself, but to ask for the lives of 300,000 disaster victims, as for myself, it is nothing." ”

Liu Yanlang groaned: "I'll tell you the truth, the matter of eating for the victims of the Fu and Lin disasters has been discussed by the imperial court a few times, and Feng Xiang (Feng Dao) has said it to His Majesty I don't know how many times, but His Majesty will not agree, why don't you agree, it's a matter of confidentiality, I can't sue you." I'm just saying to you: the court doesn't have the strength to take care of this side of affairs at the moment. Therefore, I really can't help you in this matter, you might as well listen to me, and take another rich state army to take office. ”

Zhi Cong said: "Xiang Gong Rong, Fuzhou Linzhou is where I grew up, and my family is there." Now there is a huge hidden danger buried there, even if I am asked to be the assassin of Jinshan Yinzhou, how can I go with peace of mind? ”

Liu Yanlang said: "On the side of Fulin, no matter what you do, as long as you can maintain the stability of northern Qin, you will be meritorious."

Zhi Congyuan was a little stunned when he heard this, and he said after a while: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice and no food, so how can we maintain the stability of northern Qin?" ”

Liu Yanlang laughed and said something, and said something that made Zhi Congyuan cold from his head to his toes
