Chapter 363: Insulting the King, Descending to Li Shu (3000)
When Wen Zisheng heard this, he immediately became curious, and he hurriedly asked:
"I hope that the national master will not hesitate to give advice."
"Wei Moufu, I don't dare to be the title of the country's ruler."
Wei Xiaokuan hurriedly excused himself, although his daughter Wei Changying was one of the twenty-seven wives of the harem, only under the first queen, the third lady, and the ninth concubine, but he didn't dare to really regard himself as a national prince.
Regarding Wen Zisheng's request for advice, he smiled:
"Lord Wen only needs to preach everywhere on the way back to Luo, His Majesty has mercy on the people and does not want to fight again, so he sincerely asked to marry the princess of the Southern Dynasty in order to seek a good alliance, but was humiliated by the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty, saying: 'Suo He De dominates the world, and his father can match his noble daughter!'" and in this way, your majesty will not condemn it."
When Wen Zisheng heard this, he called out in his heart a good guy, there are still people in the world who have such dirty hearts, he finally understood that in addition to covering Wei Xiaokuan's southward journey, the more important purpose of his mission was to give Gao Cheng an excuse to start a war, anyway, he couldn't believe that Wei Xiaokuan dared to assert himself for this kind of thing.
After the unification of the Northland, the northern people raised the truce, except for small-scale border conflicts, there has been no large-scale war for seven years, the people have become accustomed to such a peaceful and stable life, once the war starts in vain, the people at the bottom will not care about your ambition to cover the four seas, inevitably to provoke the people's resentment.
For other rulers, it is not a big problem to let the people complain a few words, the key is that Gao Cheng is not in the pot, and he wants a good reputation in the mouths of the people in this life.
If we want to launch a large-scale war of southern conquest, there must be no excuse for the country?
Since Gao Cheng was twelve years old in Luoyang, he has been deeply loved by the military and the people, but now the Son of Heaven of Daqi has been humiliated. ,
The Xianbei people will be angry because of the name of Suolu, and the Han people in the north will also be indignant because of the words of their father, this is not slapping Gao Cheng in the face alone, this is humiliating all the soldiers and civilians of Daqi!
Once this remark spreads in the north, one can imagine what the situation will be in the country.
As for Xiao Yan's side, it is useless to justify it, not to mention whether he can defend Nanliang in the north, just about the act of attacking Nanliang thirteen years ago, do you believe you, or Wen Zisheng, who is a gentleman, not to mention that Wen Zisheng went to Jiankang in person and came back, how do you know the details in the north.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Fire Attack" has a cloud: "The Lord cannot be angry and raise his army, and he will not be discouraged and cause war." ,
Anger will make the monarch and generals lose their minds and be unable to think calmly about the battlefield situation, but is it possible that Gao Cheng and his cronies will be carried away by anger because of the scene he wrote and directed?
But for ordinary soldiers, anger is a good thing, after all, they don't need to use their brains too much on the battlefield, all they have to do is to be full of anger, obey the command, and move forward.
Gao Cheng's past kindness to the northern soldiers will not be forgotten, because he would rather bear a heavy burden on the finances than ask for military salaries to support the soldiers, so that everyone has a stable income, rather than pinning his hopes on battlefield looting.
Not to mention the cloth reward for the big guys, not to mention the six towns Xianbei, who has a friendship with the Gao family for two generations, even the soldiers of the Han army have to grit their teeth and ask the Liang people for an explanation, but in view of Nanliang's past betrayal of the alliance, I am afraid that I will not believe the statement. ….
With such a benevolent and black-hearted founding monarch, and still so young, Wen Zisheng could foresee the future scene of courtiers being played with by his power tricks.
Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say this, he had to pretend that he didn't know Gao Cheng's role in this matter at all, and he couldn't even mention in the future that it was Wei Xiaokuan's idea for himself, and the statement that would be recorded in the annals of history in the future might be that he Wen Zisheng was afraid of guilt, so he thought of such a way to shirk responsibility:
It's not that I don't work hard, it's that they deceive people too much.
Of course, it is more likely that the monarchs and ministers of Daqi have confirmed Xiao Yan's humiliation of Gao Cheng, after all, history books have always been written by the victors, and now Daqi is being commissioned by Zhang Shiqi to preside over the compilation of the "History of Wei", if Xiao Liang can be destroyed in the future, I am afraid that it will be him who repairs the history of Southern Liang.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
As an excellent historical inventor, Zhang Shiqi's history does not need to be repeated, and it is easy for him to frame Xiao Yan for this trivial matter.
After some brainstorming, Wen Zisheng hurriedly thanked Wei Xiaokuan, and Wei Xiaokuan did as he expected, asking him to keep it a secret from outsiders and not let others know that he was plotting on his behalf.
Wen Zisheng naturally agreed repeatedly, Wei Xiaokuan was reluctant to go with Wen Zisheng in order to hide people's eyes, and soon he got into a carriage, and the two parted ways, but what Wei Xiaokuan said, Wen Zisheng firmly remembered it in his heart.
Don't care if Gao Cheng has hope or not, this time it will be in vain, if he doesn't handle this matter well, and return to Luoyang to be punished for two crimes, he Wen Zisheng can't bear it.
In fact, even if Xiao Yan really agreed to the marriage, Wei Xiaokuan would secretly stir up this family affair, and use Xiao Yan's refusal to marry and humiliate him as the reason to send troops, which was Gao Cheng's ultimate goal, otherwise he would not have agreed to Wei Xiaokuan's affection and allowed him to go south.
If you really just contact the secret agent, it's not good to send anyone.
Of course, hearing is false, seeing is believing, Wei Xiaokuan wants to actually understand the situation in Nanliang and go to Jiankang in person, which is also one of the reasons why Gao Cheng agreed.
As for Wei Xiaokuan, in fact, even if Gao Cheng doesn't marry Wei Changying, there is no need to worry about his loyalty.
As a member of the Guanzhong clan, he and Li Yuan, who was born in the Li clan in Longxi, chose to tie up Yu Jin to surrender at that time, instead of abandoning the army and fleeing like the rest of the Wuchuan generals, which is enough to show that they are not loyal to Yuwentai, in fact, it is not Gao Cheng, but the victor, whoever can rule the land of Guanlong, they will be loyal to whom.
Before Erzhu Tianguang went east, they supported Erzhu Tianguang, after He Batyue occupied the relevant middle, they were loyal to He Batyue, and Yuwentai succeeded to lead the rest of the department, and they were loyal to Yuwentai, and now that the Gao family is all in Guanlong, they will naturally work for the Gao family.
In general, in the land of Guanlong, whoever wins will help whom, this is the trick of the clans to stand on this land for hundreds of years.
Of course, there are no exceptions, such as Su Sui, who died of illness due to overwork in Chengdu.
In the troubled times, everyone's choice is different, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Yuan and others chose the clan, and stayed in the north, Su Sui chose to show his ambitions and follow his benefactor to the south. ….
Wei Xiaokuan returned to Luoyang before Wen Zisheng, after all, whenever Wen Zisheng went, he had to cry at the reception banquet of the local assassin history, county guard, and county order that he was just a weak scholar, otherwise he would mention a three-foot sword, and be ashamed of the emperor of Daqi, be ashamed, colleagues!
Wen Zisheng passed through the states and counties along the way, and Xiao Yan's remarks about 'Suo He De dominates the world, and his father can match his noble daughter, also spread to the surrounding areas, and everyone who heard it was indignant, after all, the anger of the humiliated people who were racially discriminated against and the region was black regardless of ancient and modern.
It just so happens that Gao Cheng has the dual identity of Han and Xianbei, Xiao Yan scolded him for being a Suolu, do you Xianbei people empathize with this humiliation? and discriminated against him as a father, do you feel that you are innocent in the north?
In response to public opinion, the assassins and county guards from all over the country have asked to raise troops to march south, and teach the two of them a lesson. He still dares to speak wildly.
In the context of the confrontation between the north and the south, not only the southerners discriminated against the northerners, but the northerners also insulted them, and even because of the crotch-pulling performance of the southern Liang in the past few years, many people despised the southern Liang.
After all, it has always been the Southern Liang who took the initiative to go north, gave up the advantage of the naval division, and fought a land war with others, with their own shortcomings, fighting for the strengths of others, except for those elite soldiers of the Northern Mansion who founded the country of Liu and Song, the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties, few of them can be pleased.
Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong worked hard to recuperate, saved some family business, three Northern Expeditions, exhausted the savings of Yuanjiazhizhi, and lost so badly that even Xin Qiqi sighed: Yuanjia Caocao, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the Canghuang Beigu.
At this time, Wen Zisheng was still on the way, the discriminatory remarks about Xiao Yan had not yet reached the Gyeonggi area, and the local officials were on their way to Luoyang.
Gao Cheng had already asked Wei Xiaokuan about the harvest of his southward trip.
He learned that the compulsory promulgation of Zumo money completely disrupted the currency market in Nanliang and made the people's livelihood miserable, and he was even more determined to wait for the domination of the sea, and he must deal with Jiang Nanshi
The clan strikes hard, even if it leads to a rebellion.
Fight hard, fight scared, they can understand that some things can't be touched, they will know how to converge, Xiao Yan has indulged them for forty-eight years, no, to be exact, since Yongjia Nandu, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the dynasty has been changing, but it is just a new ruler who compromises their interests.
Especially in the Xiao Yan Dynasty, although there were also Five Classics Hall to provide a channel for the rise of the poor scholars, they always pursued the policy of the Yourong scholars.
It's just that no matter how nice it sounds, Gao Cheng is inevitably a little cautious, the southern currency market is chaotic, but wealth cannot be underestimated, and most of this wealth is concentrated in the hands of the big families, if they don't beat their local tyrants, how can Xiao Gao Wang eat enough.
If you eat meat by yourself, you have to let your subordinates drink some soup, and the shop is so big, it is all expenses.
Of course, the Great Qi Tianzi promised not to force Hou Jing to do so first.
Hou Jing can be called a nuclear weapon against Liang, and forcing him to rebel will definitely destroy Nanliang, but the damage is too great, and it also makes Gao Cheng throw a mouse, after all, the future is his own belongings.
Hou Jing's rebellion was an unprecedented catastrophe in the south, and history records that he openly declared to the soldiers, 'If you break the city, kill it, and let the world know my prestige!' , so 'the soldiers killed and plundered, handed over the corpses and blocked the road, and the whole Jiangdong was about to be finished by him.
Gao Cheng had a clear understanding of the Southern Liang army at this time, Hou Jing besieged Taicheng, the troops from all over the country were diligent to the king, and the people were eating pot pulp to welcome the king.
Then Wang Shi robbed them easily, and the history recorded 'that Wang Shi was cool, even more than Hou Jing, and the people remembered Hou Jing who slaughtered wantonly, so they fell to him, and the plot was very magical.
Gao Cheng didn't believe it, Hou Jing crossed the river with 800 horses under Wang Wei's advice, and when he besieged Taicheng, the whole army was only 8,000 people, he rode more than 200,000 steps, and 50,000 sailors blessed him.
