Chapter 39: The Taiping Order
The capital of the Jin Kingdom, built magnificently, in the majestic palace, not to mention the spitting debate on the Jinluan Palace, impassioned statements,-for-tat mutual hatred, witty examples, just here in the front palace side hall, it is a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
After Chu Yanggong drank another small cup of tea, he complained as if changing the topic: "You don't know that the old man of Shangguan Qian just arrived in the Jin Kingdom a few days ago, so he arrested me at the border pass, and scolded me in front of a group of people. ”
Shangguan Qian, as a courtier envoy to Jin, actually only did one major thing in his life, that is, in the precarious state of Jin, almost on the verge of ruin, when he was in danger, he was alone, rode his horse and raised his flag, marched out from his own camp, and sent an envoy to Liangguo, with a three-inch tongue, and finally let Liangguo directly withdraw his troops not count, but also returned a part of the land he had previously occupied, although the reason for this is not how powerful he is alone, he can drink and return Liangguo to the land with a few words, but at least it has won him decades of praise and preserved the last wind for the Jin State。
When the mountains and rivers of the family and country are drifting, stand up, with the strength of one person, go out to the enemy camp alone, even if they are surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses of the enemy, but they are not afraid, for the sake of the family and the country and fight for reason, generously stated, not an inch of concession, what kind of heroism should this be?
The sunset is far away, in the afterglow, I saw a man and a horse walking slowly, although he is a weak scholar, but he dares to regard the enemy's thousands of troops and horses as nothing, it is this heart, and it should be worthy of the respect of outsiders.
When he returns, he will be given a national surname, what kind of glory should it be?
To say that the old man is extremely loyal to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, how can he be able to see Chen Jing so rebellious and commit disorderly behavior?
This is the principle of the old man, that is, the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Liang Kingdom back then, and they couldn't change it at the moment of life and death, so why did Chen Jing just?
As soon as he talked about this kind of hard bones who were not afraid of death at all, Chen Jing had a headache, just a few days ago he just died of Tai Changqing, which had already caused an uproar inside and outside the government and the opposition, and a group of people who had suppressed him with great difficulty rebounded, and even in the new Chinese New Year's Eve, there were people who came to the palace to assassinate him desperately。
What's more, as he said to Wu Heng, he was born as a Jin minister, everything he did, whether it was right or wrong, was for the future of the Jin Kingdom, Shangguan Qian and him were the same kind of people in this regard, and he naturally respected this old gentleman very much, if even he had to run out and wave the flag and shout against himself, not to mention that it would bring him a lot of trouble, and his own heart would be uncomfortable.
Some things are done, not because I am afraid of the consequences or not of the consequences, but because I am most afraid that no one in this world understands you, especially those who you think and should understand you, when they all start to oppose you, it is actually the saddest and loneliest moment for a person.
"Lao asked Chu Yanggong to go back and tell the old man Shangguan Qian, saying that after the criminal Chen Jing dealt with the matter here, he would definitely come to visit him in person, and the old man could ask me no matter how he asked me. ”
When Chu Yang Gong heard this, he put down the teacup, laughed and pointed: " Hahaha, Chen Jing, don't worry too much, I've already explained to the old man, and besides, he's not the kind of person who can't see it, when the time comes, you just remember to put your posture a little lower, just take out the set of rhetoric you persuaded me before, although the old man still scolded me later, but with his temper that dared to scold in the Liangjun camp back then, if you really look at you, I'm afraid that I won't want my life, and I will go to your house to assassinate, as soon as I say that Cai Jing was also killed by you, the old man was very happy to look at it。 ”
The last time he went to Liangguo, it was the argument of the weak side, the blood of the blue blood that was to protect the country and disregarded personal life and death, and it was a hearty struggle, and it was a hearty struggle, and it was rather a broken jade, not for the great fearlessness of the tile, but after a lapse of several decades, this envoy took the initiative to put on a low posture to get married, was to lower his head, knelt on the ground, begged someone to marry, and exchanged the dignity of the whole country for temporary stability, he reluctantly agreed, but he was also sullen and incomprehensible.
He didn't understand why the backbone he had fought for his life back then was now being sent out by him personally, killing people too much, this is really a curse!
Now that Cai Jing, the traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people, is dead, and the mediocre old emperor Shangguan Ming is also dead, what is he unhappy about, if it weren't for the fact that the process of this coup d'état is indeed too unreasonable, it is really against the etiquette law, and it is difficult to recognize, and the old gentleman is eager to set off firecrackers in his house to celebrate.
When he got the news of the Jin Kingdom and took people out of the Liang Kingdom, he actually didn't fully understand what happened to the whole thing, and he was still a new traitor who messed up the country, changed the soup without changing the medicine, and even intensified to continue to control the government and suppress the royal family, and was thinking about going back to personally organize people to help the royal family regain power, the kind of sentimentality when he left the capital of the Liang Kingdom, he only felt that after going back this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to die well, and he probably never had the opportunity to return to his homeland in this life, just like a child who was going to leave his mother, that kind of confusion and discomfort was unimaginable to outsiders。
Now it seems that it is good to kill, this kind of traitor who only cares about his own control of the government and power, this kind of faint monarch who only cares about his own fun and does not care about the safety of the country, what can't be killed, he is not the kind of foolish and loyal person who only admits death, in fact, he scolded the old emperor Shangguan Ming in his heart.
Although the general was defeated, causing hundreds of thousands of Jin Guolang's sons to bury their bones in other places, the crime is unforgivable, but what is the real reason for the defeat of the army, can anyone with a discerning eye really see it?
Could it really be that the Liang country, known as the general of the stars, is brave and incomparable, invincible, and the soldiers are all pointing out?
Could it really be that the general's sword is old, and even stupid and incompetent, and the leader has no way to lead the army, which leads to a complete defeat?
Come on, that's all a reason for the court to prevaricate the people, and it's also a reason to prevaricate itself, after all, if the army is defeated, someone has to come out and take responsibility and bear the anger of everyone up and down.
The old general who has already died, it is naturally the best candidate to carry the black pot, because no matter how you pour dirty water on him, the dead can't speak anyway, and there is no way to justify it, not to mention that Cai Jing has always wanted to control the military power, and the old general's defeat and death are the best time to eradicate his protégés and old officials and drive away the people in the army, how can he let someone defend the old general?
That's how it was back then, because the emperor, The people all need a reason for failure, and Cai Jing and other officials of the Situ department need to control the military power, under the joint efforts of several parties, the general was ruined, and even with a full family of people were beheaded on the street to show the public, none of them were missed, that is, today's Chuyang Gong Xue Bi was implicated because of this, and his future was ruined, and he stayed at home for a long time, no longer going out, if he didn't have the identity of the emperor's relatives, he was afraid that he would have been killed a long time ago, even Shangguan Qian back then, because he was at the bottom, he had really listened to the lies of the imperial court, and in addition to being resentful, he also made a special trip to the door of the empty mansion of the old general's house and spitted at it, pointing to the plaque full of blood and scolding, but now he is old, I know a lot, and then I finally came back to my senses, it turns out that it's not a general, it's not a good thing to be a general, it's not good for Jin Guo at all!
It turned out that the reason why he committed suicide on the shore of Yanran Lake was not because he was ashamed of the motherland after the defeat and had no shame to face his hometown fathers, but because he was resentful that he couldn't let go of Chang Dingfang for various reasons, resulting in the destruction of his reputation and the loss of his family and country.
However, even if he died, the court refused to let go of his descendants, and this practice did not know how many people's hearts were chilled back then.
Chen Jing is a smart person, when he heard Chu Yanggong's statement, he was in a much better mood at the moment, to be honest, he really didn't want to be an enemy of this kind of old gentleman who worked all his life for state affairs, the old gentleman was the backbone of the Jin Kingdom, and they should not be enemies.
But he had to do something to usurp power, he violated, after all, it was the ancestral etiquette law, and what was broken was the secular rules, even if his starting point was good, even bright and majestic, even if he had gambled his life for this, and even the life and life of the Chen family, but he couldn't explain it to anyone, and no one would understand him.
Even if some people are doing good deeds all their lives, as long as they do an evil thing with a thought, the world will forget all about his goodness, and when they mention him, they are full of malice, and the world is like this, not only his Chen Jing's fault.
"When Chu Yanggong said this, I was relieved. Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but sigh softly.
Chu Yanggong glanced at the still noisy Jinluan Hall over there, and asked with a puzzled face: "I heard that this person is from the Jin Kingdom, do you just let him be alone in the court, but you come here to drink tea and chat with me, wasting time?"
Chen Jing glanced at the splendid palace over there, and explained calmly: "He is here to talk about the alliance, and I want to try his skills, if he is a straw bag who has no strategy and can only talk about it, I will naturally find another way out for the Jin Kingdom." ”
As soon as he talked about the alliance, Chu Yanggong remembered the humiliating land cutting back then, and couldn't help but scold: "Special mother, Weiguo is a bunch of villains who will only fall into the well, but they have always behaved in the past, bowing down to us, and calling us 'Shangguo', when it comes to really using them, they will only take advantage of the fire to rob, take the sheep, take the benefits, and don't work hard, it's just a bunch of outright cunning traitors, wolf-hearted things, alas! Now let's talk about what alliances are not alliances, I see, they are here to test the reality of my Jin Kingdom. ”
On the one hand, Liangguo is a green forest bandit who has never said anything good to you, and doesn't even give anyone a good face, and even tells you clearly that I have made up my mind to take you by force, and on the other hand, he usually behaves in front of you, but when you are in trouble, he will take advantage of the fire to rob and tear off two pieces of meat from you.
Liangguo did seize more than one state of land in the Jin Kingdom, but that is also a person with hard skills, relying on the Liangguo Iron Horse step by step, although the Jin people are not angry, but the skills are not as good as people, in the bones are convinced, but the Weiguo took the opportunity to blackmail the three counties of the Jin State on the grounds of assisting in sending troops, which is more disgusting than the land of a state, especially the people of the Jin Kingdom originally thought that they were born to be a grade higher than the Weiguo people, after all, the Weiguo has bowed to the Jin State for several generations, and paid tribute every year, a good dog originally raised, but now it has not only grown into a vicious dog, when outsiders invaded, instead of biting the enemy, but also biting their own flesh first, who can stand it?
Chen Jing was a little unimpressed by this.
"Between countries, there has never been an eternal enemy, only eternal interests, Duanmu family judges the situation, waiting for the opportunity to move, this is the most correct, before it was just Shangguan Ming was too stupid and naïve, and really when people will honestly be willing to be our pawns, the seat of the dog, this is a big loss, now people come to inquire about the truth is also normal, Weiguo is a dormant poisonous snake, if we are weak, he doesn't mind swallowing us directly to nourish himself, but if we are strong enough, he also doesn't mind lowering his posture and joining forces with us to fight against the tiger of Liangguo。 ”
When Chu Yanggong heard this, he nodded helplessly, and said with emotion: "Yes, when the Patriotic People came a few years ago, they still looked arrogant, alas, these people from our Jin Kingdom are just too stupid." ”
When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but think of the Duanmu prince who had no one in his eyes and was extremely arrogant, shook his head and said: "National affairs, political games, how can you be angry." ”
Chu Yanggong raised his head, glanced at the other side, and said in his heart, aren't you just rash and directly broke into the palace to seize power?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chen Jing glanced deeply at Chu Yanggong opposite, and when the other party saw his meaningful eyes, he knew that he saw what he was thinking, and quickly turned his head in embarrassment.
Chen Jing ignored this stubble, just looked at the roof above his head, and muttered to himself: "The top and bottom of the Jin Kingdom, if you still remain so naïve, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive my death." ”
