Chapter 109: Death (II)

After a while, everything was quiet, and Fang Xin slowly walked out

“.” Fang Xin bowed his hand as a courtesy, and he was also a knight, so he didn't need to bow down, and the lower person could give his hand as a courtesy.

Lu Hou didn't think it was different, and said: "It's just right to come, you and I will talk." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the people around him retreated.

"Master Hou, what this person said is that the emperor died, but is it true?" Fang Xin asked melancholy.

"What Yan Min said just now is indeed true, Ben Hou has obtained the news through three ways." The muscles on Lu Hou's face twitched: "In the future, the world will be troubled." ”

"Well, what the Hou Ye said is that the death of the saint is a major event of the country, I am afraid that the government will be turbulent for a period of time, and the situation in the southwest is hitting a critical time, if the court is troubled and the supply of money, food, soldiers and armor cannot be supplied, I am only afraid of ......" Speaking of this, Fang Xin stopped talking.

Originally, in ancient times, generals had the right to arbitrary, but in order to prevent the generals from separating, Da Chu stipulated that grain, grass and armor should be supplied by the imperial court, and at most one month's grain at a time, so as to grasp the lifeblood of the front-line combat army.

Lu Hou nodded heavily, but it was much more straightforward than him: "This time the minister of Gu Ming, the others are just that, the cabinet is high-minded, but there is something inappropriate, this is not to say that this person is not talented, but this person was originally a little shallow in the foundation, just entrusted with a heavy task by the first emperor, in order to establish his own authority, I am afraid that he will focus on the power of the imperial cabinet, in this case, the southwest will be eroded, and the layout of the first emperor over the years will turn into flowing water!" ”

"Moreover, in the past few years, the war situation in the southwest has been stalemate, and it has cost the imperial court eight million taels of silver, and the imperial treasury is empty, coupled with natural disasters, even if it is the first emperor, it is difficult to move, so after the prince ascends the throne, he is forced internally and externally, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to support the war in the southwest." When Lu Hou said this, he shushed a cold breath in his heart.

Fang Xin already knew this as much as his heart, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then the southwest will not be guaranteed, if it will be interrupted, if you want to withdraw or not, I am afraid that half of the power of the imperial court will be dragged on the southwest quagmire to consume, so that in a few more years, the imperial court will be hollowed out, in this case, internal and external pressure, the form is even worse, it is better to make a decision, stationed heavy troops at the southwest entrance, turn to defense, extra strength, to stabilize the government and the interior, and wait for the prince to come of age, cultivate for a few years, the Central Plains is so big, it is natural to recover, Of course, the best way is for the imperial court to win a battle in the southwest, and force the southwest barbarians to sign a peace treaty, allowing half of the province to be a vassal state and submit tribute. ”

"How easy is it to withdraw from the southwest? The establishment of the country of Great Chu, has never lost such a big land, whoever has to retreat in the book will be difficult to keep his career, in the end, he must still make an order in the name of the new monarch, I am afraid that it will damage the monarch's authority, and when the prince becomes an adult, he will come to the realization that An can not be angry? As for the half-provincial vassal state, it is better to submit tribute, but I am afraid that it may not be able to do it! Lu Hou started and walked, pacing slowly in the narrow pavilion.

Fang Xin was silent, he had been in politics here for a long time, and he knew how ridiculous he had read in his previous life.

In the previous life, when the country was founded, the monarch and the minister were always wise, and when the country died, the monarch and the minister were always mediocre.

In fact, when the country was founded, that group of people came into being as a choice of the moment, but there was really no one in the world in the future? Strictly speaking, although the monarchs and ministers of later generations are not as sharp as when they were founded, they are much more experienced, so no matter when, compared with each other, at most they are separated from June Fourth, and there is no big gap.

The real gap lies in the fact that the country has enjoyed the country for a long time, is intertwined, and its power is stable, even if the emperor is powerless, and it is actually difficult to fight against the huge class and the aging of the country.

In fact, it can be seen from the reforms of previous generations that reformers rarely have a good end, and the power is slowly falling, and there is no power to steal the day, which is the biggest problem.

And the officials **, the sergeants are relaxed, but they are second.

In the past dynasties, it was a joke in the world to think that everything was in the heart of the king, and as long as the emperor understood the problem, he could reform.

The sorrow of history is clear, but it cannot be recovered, just like human aging, everyone knows it, but how many people can be recovered?

If it is redeemed, it is not a person, but a god.

Lu Hou has a family of generations, with a graceful temperament, at this time he wandered around the pavilion, which can be seen his mood, Fang Xin was thinking about it, Lu Hou had already stood still, looked at the starry sky, and asked dryly: "What charter do you have?" Let's hear it. ”

"There is no way, the matter of the southwest, I have already said, when the judgment is broken, you can keep the court for twenty years, as long as the prince is an adult, stabilize the court situation, and wait for the natural disaster to survive, if you can understand the people's feelings, take the will of heaven as the will of heaven, tremble and tremble like walking on thin ice, and correct the evils of the times, then there will be a day of Zhongxing, and at that time, the southwest may be recovered." Fang Xin said.

"I've read your book, and your sentence - the teacher is benevolent, the one who transforms the ritual, teaches but does not change, the sin is also turned into one but not taught, and the violence is also - it really gets to the point, if the southwest is re-levied, this sentence must be used to be peaceful!" Lu Hou thought about it, but said with a smile: "I think that you will be reused by the imperial court soon, at most three years." ”

"Those who teach are benevolent, those who transform rituals, teach but do not change, sin is also turned into non-taught, and violence is also - I am on this, and I have great worries!" Fang Xin said slowly, as if he had something else in mind.

"Oh, let's hear it."

"The imperial court conquered the southwest, but it is difficult to maintain it now, but the system and doctrine of our dynasty have been circulated there, if the barbarian division disdains, it is a blessing, if it is the barbarian division also learn from my dynasty, divide the monarch and ministers, use the law, practice politics, establish counties and counties, raise a large army, that twenty years later, I will be in the middle of the dynasty, it is difficult to recover, if there is anything in my dynasty, then ......" Fang Xin hesitated, and said: "Students can see the history books of the ages, and they can see that since the Jin Dynasty, Liang, Wei, Jin, and Chu are all a pattern of one Hu and one Han, and they are deeply worried!" ”

As soon as this Hu Yihan pattern was said, Lu Hou was originally a step, but he was shocked when he heard the words, and several of them fell down, and immediately held on to the pillar, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense!" ”

Fang Xin was also silent.

However, Lu Hou is also an understanding person, although he scolded, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really so, after thinking about it, he glanced at Fang Xin, and said coldly: "Li Rui, you learn to participate in creation and have insight into the past and the present, you are extraordinary, but you can't talk nonsense." ”

"Naturally, the students don't dare." Fang Xin replied.

"Then in your opinion, this barbarian is a big disaster?" Lu Hou walked a few more steps and asked.

"It is very likely that it will see if it follows the example of the Central Plains and establishes a government system, if so, it will be a big disaster." Fang Xin replied: "The barbarian division is barbaric, and the government system is established for a while, not only does it not have the worry of being weak, but it is difficult to fight against the benefits of centralizing power. ”

Lu Hou listened, looked at him deeply, and said: "If you are a strange man in the world, Li Rui, you have been knighted, you can get one wife and three flats, and there is a shortage of one flat wife, are you willing to marry my daughter Shulan?" She has a lot of affection for you! ”

"How dare Li Rui, Shu Lan is the daughter of the Hou Ye, and An Ke is the wife?"

"Ben Hou is not an unreasonable person, a flat wife is still a wife, I won't ask you to divorce your wife, you and I are both husbands, whether or not, you can decide in a word!" Lu Hou said categorically.

Fang Xin pondered for a moment, got up, and knelt down: "Li Rui greets his father-in-law." ”

"Okay, Ben Hou will do it immediately, and the wedding will be held tomorrow, don't wait for the imperial court to come down, but wait for three years!" Lu Hou laughed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Please get up with your son-in-law, if you have a son-in-law like this, Ben Hou is also overjoyed." ”

When the emperor died, the stagecoach naturally had to mourn to all the provinces and counties in the world, which was a great mourning for the country, and the subjects had to mourn for it for three years, and they were not allowed to get married in the meantime.

Waiting for Fang to believe it, Lu Hou sighed again and said: "Aison-in-law, you still don't know that now half of Anchang Province has fallen, and King Anchang has already proclaimed himself on the throne." ”

"Oh, please let my father-in-law explain."

"King Anchang ascended the throne, more imitation of this dynasty, military and political integration, 12 mansions, 10 households set up a Zuo, there is a chief, 100 households set up a battalion, there is a battalion commander, 1,000 households set up a general, there is a total chief, 10,000 families have a mansion, set up a governor. And the people who fell set up counties and counties to manage the Han people for farming! ”

When Fang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, this was even more complete and advanced than the original Manchus on the earth.

said at the moment: "In this way, it will be a big disaster, but I heard that King Anchang has not much foundation, why can he still be on the throne?" ”

"King Anchang was originally the largest clan in the southwest, and the imperial court conquered the southwest, but it was only divided into three clans, and it was incapable of extermination, and this person was born in the lineage, and with the help of the three clans, it was able to succeed, and it is said that it is only eight out of twenty now!" Lu Hou said in a deep voice.

Fang Xin nodded to show that he understood, and then heard Lu Hou say: "Ben Hou probably can't go in person, but you will probably go to a dangerous place, you are now Zheng Liupin, it is estimated that you will first be a prefect in the mainland, and then transfer to the entrance of Anchang as the governor, of course, this is also Ben Hou's estimate, maybe there is Teen, Ben Hou will give you a reminder first." ”

Fang Xin smiled bitterly, and had to say: "To serve the imperial court, naturally I will not give up." ”

This Luhou, in fact, is rich and glorious, all lies in the court, and he is naturally loyal to the court, but if he is fully loyal, it is not true, for example, as soon as the emperor died, he immediately killed Yan Min, without hesitation, since he was not a pure minister, he naturally considered the family and future generations, but this is human nature.
