Chapter 400: The Emperor's Thoughts
Since April, the turmoil in the capital has not subsided because of the warmer weather, but has become more and more fierce with the public opinion war in the newspapers.
Large-scale debates have arisen in restaurants, tea shops, streets and alleys, and even the Qin Mansion and Chu Pavilion.
With the public support of several scholars in the cabinet and the official of the Ministry of Rites, there is little market for opposition to the introduction of compulsory education.
At this stage, there is actually only one thing that is the most noisy, and that is whether women should be qualified to enter government schools and receive education on the same basis as men.
The opponents are nothing more than two views, one is to hold the theory that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and the other is to show up with a woman to study in the same room with a man, which hinders the reputation of women and does not conform to the rules of etiquette and religion.
These two points are quite incomprehensible, because those who hold these two points are basically the officials of the DPRK and China or the opposition gentry who have the right to speak.
On the contrary, the majority of those who supported the right of women to education with men were young scholars, except for a limited number of enlightened men.
The turmoil in Shanxi did not have a great impact on the center, but it was Jia Lian who went on a killing spree in Xuanfu, so that several bigwigs in the center had to urgently adjust the national policy and send the firearms that were originally planned to be sent to the south to the north first.
Jia Lian cut more than 10,000 Tartars in Xuanfu, and set up a big Beijing Temple outside the Great Wall with great arrogance, and the Tartars finally couldn't help it.
At the end of March, the Tatars first sent envoys south, intending to enter Beijing to ask for an explanation. I didn't want Jia Lian to give him a chance at all, and all the members of the entire mission were cut off and thrown outside the city to add bricks and tiles to the Jingguan.
Perhaps Jia Lian's behavior really angered the Tatars, and on the second day of the fourth month, the Tatars officially waved their troops south, claiming to be 100,000 iron horsemen knocking on the pass.
This time it can be regarded as a hornet's nest, connecting nine court meetings, and many people have come up to impeach Jia Lian for opening border provocations without permission, and demand that Jia Lian be escorted back to the capital to be severely punished.
It was another great dynasty, and the Chinese military officials of the Fengtian Hall quarreled.
The envoys sent by the imperial court to Goryeo had to return to the capital halfway through, but the Goryeo people rebelled, taking advantage of the freezing of the Yalu River, quietly crossed the border and sent 80,000 troops to attack Changbai Mountain.
As soon as the news reached the capital, the impeachment, which had fallen slightly, became turbulent again.
Counting the southern Xinjiang that has not yet been completely pacified, is Great Xia going to be attacked on three sides? As long as there is a war, there will never be a shortage of lords and factions in the DPRK and China, especially the civil servants.
"What the hell is in the minds of this group of people, isn't it stupid? The great war was approaching and the border generals were recalled, and they figured out that the Tatars should invite this group of people to drink. ”
As soon as the court meeting ended, the emperor was called to the Dragon Head Palace by the Emperor Taishang.
The father and son sat opposite each other in the Imperial Palace, and the old man listened to his son's complaints like watching a play, and handed over a stack of letters casually: "Goryeo is not worried, even Tatar is not much of a threat, look at this ......"
Well?
Liu Heng was quite puzzled, took the letter and opened it, and after only reading a paragraph, he looked up in surprise and asked, "My father arranged someone in the palace of Beijing County a long time ago?" ”
The old man glanced at his son, and his expression was extremely speechless: "What a fuss, the old yin people in the Shui family, you still have to guard against it." ”
Liu Heng ignored his Lao Tzu's contempt, and asked again: "So, the turmoil in Shanxi was planned by you?" ”
"Not exactly, it's just that after learning about the case in Baoding Mansion, I pushed it. In the final analysis, those people's desires are insatiable, and desires, if they can't be controlled, will often lead people to perdition. ”
Sure enough, the Emperor Taishang is the most playful person in Great Xia!
After reading a letter, Liu Heng opened another one, which reported in detail how the owner of the letter instigated the ambition of Lu Huan, the head of the Lu family in Pingyang, and instigated the gentry and wealthy merchants of Shanxi to collude together to fight against Qincha......
"Dad, do you already know about Liu Kan's group of beasts harming innocent women? Why didn't you slaughter these beasts? Why didn't you tell your son? ”
"Are you weird?"
Emperor Taishang's expression became cold, and he looked at Liu Heng coldly, who was angry.
Liu Heng clutched the letter in his hand, his chest rising and falling.
"The 800 coffins appeared in my son's dream...... Father, the son is the Emperor of Great Xia, and the son and nephew of the clan officials of the dynasty have committed such a shocking crime, you have long known this, but you did not stop it, and you didn't even reveal half a sentence to your son......"
"Woman's kindness! Without sacrifices, where does your position as Holy Emperor come from? Without paying a certain price, what reason do you have to plow the land in Shanxi? Do you really think that a holy decree can make the people of Shanxi obediently listen to you? ”
Emperor, you must be cold-blooded when you should be cold-blooded!
The Emperor Taishang really wanted to teach his son to learn to be cold-blooded, but unfortunately the stubborn fourth deserved to be the stubborn fourth, even if he also understood that in this matter, there was no right or wrong, but he just didn't want to become what he said in his mouth......
"Maybe what my father said is right, but the retainer would rather bear the reputation of killing and tyranny than use the blood of innocent people to pour the cold throne."
For the first time, Liu Heng said to the old man in a tough tone: "Erchen hopes that this is the last time my father will hide from me, and I am the emperor of Great Xia!" ”
The Imperial Palace instantly became cold and abnormal, and the emperor with a tough attitude and the arrogant Emperor Taishang father and son were opposite, and neither of them would let anyone.
The confrontation between the two saints was that Dai Quan, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, couldn't stand it, and the cold sweat on his back soaked the clothes on his body, and he only secretly glanced at the emperor when he wanted to persuade him, but he was frightened by the coldness on his face and didn't dare to squeak.
In the end, it was the Emperor Taishang who spoke first to break the silence, and the old man didn't seem to be angry, but suddenly said with a lot of relief: "You finally have the appearance of an emperor......
"Daddy......"
Without waiting for Liu Heng to finish speaking, the old man raised his hand to interrupt his later words.
"I say, listen. After Jia Cong has cleaned up Shanxi, what you have to do is to spread the new method as quickly as possible, without any reservations. It is a ready-made testing ground, and there will be no one to hold back. When Shanxi is finished, Shandong will be almost there. ”
The old man's last sentence frightened Liu Heng, and Dai Quan on the side couldn't help but shudder.
Liu Heng couldn't help but exclaim: "Huh? Dad, dear dad, what are you doing in Shandong? ”
……
The emperor ignored it, the boss of the center was silent, no matter how fierce the quarrel between the court and the central government was, no matter how many pieces of impeachment of Jia Lian were played, everything was useless.
Jia Lian was not only not recalled, but received the emperor's personal decree, the Beijing camp sent 30,000 troops north to support Xuanfu, Jia Lian temporarily acted as the chief military officer of Xuanfu, led the military department with the title of secretary, and the prime minister Xuanfu should respond to military and political affairs.
And the emperor of Liaodong didn't even say half a word, let alone give an order. Because Liaodong can have the most capable people of the old Liu family.
King Jing Liu Yi has long been guarding against Goryeo, he deliberately put the Goryeo army into Changbai Mountain, just like fishing, when the ice on the surface of the Yalu River melts, Changbai Mountain becomes the burial place of Goryeo.
Tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong Town entered Changbai Mountain, and the situation of the war was completely one-sided.
Liu Yi, the king of Jing, who was "hunting" with an army of 20,000 in Changbai Mountain, caught the Goryeo people off guard with ease and hard work, and 20,000 against 80,000 actually fought a brilliant record of killing 25,000 people.
Now that the remaining 50,000 Goryeo defeated troops were fleeing across the Songwa River towards Tatar, Liu Yi planned to lead his troops to raid Goryeo, and asked the emperor to send a large army of Jingying north to Jinzhou to prevent the Goryeo rout army from suddenly moving south.
Liaodong was fighting lively, the two armies faced off outside Xuanfu City, and Jia Cong, who had just arrived in Pingyang Mansion, didn't know that his second brother was sharpening his knife Huo Huo planned to go to Mobei to seal the wolf Juxu.
The forbidden army suddenly landed in Pingyang and surrounded the Lu family's mansion in the city. Lu Huan had no way to refuse Jia Cong's "invitation", and he didn't even have time to settle down at home, so he was escorted into the carriage by the Jia family's personal soldiers.
The government was temporarily requisitioned by Jia Cong, and the outside of the main hall was already guarded by the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion, and the prefect Lan Jingwen was not allowed to enter.
Lu Huan saw the famous Yongfeng Bo for the first time, and in the face of Jia Cong, his originally tall figure seemed to be a lot shorter.
Jia Cong looked up and down at Lu Huan, who was lying on his back, and said, "Lu Huan, Lu Daru, hiding behind his back and encouraging the Shanxi gentry to fight against Ben Bo, the means are very good." ”
"What Uncle Yongfeng is saying, the old man can't understand."
Lu Huan wanted to pretend not to understand, but Jia Cong only showed disdain and ridicule.
It's been two months since they fought each other, so it's too late, so it's too late?
Jia Cong laughed and said: "Lu Huan, the Ming people don't say secret words, the things your Lu family did are enough to punish the nine clans." Benbo has already sent someone to Datong and the Lu family's ancestral land, rest assured, the family will always be neat, even if it is a dog of the Lu family, it will accompany you on the road when the time comes. ”
"Uncle Yongfeng, do you really want to kill them all?"
Lu Huan knew that it was futile to pretend again, and his rickety body became erect again, trying his best to maintain the arrogance and posture of the family in his own heart.
He looked at Jia Cong's eyes full of murderous intent and disgust, and said earnestly: "The old man asked himself that he had never offended Ning Rong's Jia family, let alone Yongfeng Bo, why did you have to hold on to the Lu family?" What's in it for you to ruin the Lu family? Most of the scholars in Shanxi were destroyed by Yongfengbo, aren't you afraid of being spurned by the world in the future? ”
When Jia Cong heard this, not only was he not angry, but laughed, and the laughter shook the finches on the eaves and flapped their wings and flew away.
Lu Huan was frightened by Jia Cong's sudden laughter, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I'm laughing at you shamelessly! Scholars? Are you also worthy to be called a scholar? ”
Jia Cong stood up and pointed to the north: "Mencius has a saying that poverty is not unjust, so a scholar has to do his own; The people are not disappointed. The ancients, the will, Zejia to the people; Unwilling, self-cultivation is seen in the world. If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Shang Xian, enable Fang to be a scholar, what have you done? Bah! ”
As the world often says, Shinong businessmen are respected.
Although Jia Cong does not agree with this view, he agrees with the moral requirements of the taxi class.
Through the past and the present, it is not a person; Learn to be a person in a position; Those who use their talents are called people; Worried about the country and the people, it is called a person......
Lu Huan also has the face to call himself a scholar?
"Do you dare to be a soldier? Are you also worthy of being a judge? Wei Wenzheng is the real scholar! ”
Jia Cong spat and slapped the table case fiercely: "Lu Huan, the crimes committed by the Erlu clan are too numerous to mention, Ben Bo will let you take a good look at what the retribution of the Heavenly Dao is unpleasant!" The order was issued that the forbidden army raided the Lu clan in Pingyang, and all the people of the Lu clan were detained in the Pingyang Mansion Prison and strictly interrogated......"
"Jia Conger dare!"
Lu Huan was furious: "What evidence do you have? The old man is a scholar of the national dynasty, with a literary name, and my daughter is the acting princess, without a holy decree, you dare to take me? ”
Jia Cong laughed and shouted angrily: "Evidence? I never need evidence to do things! ”
With a snap, he slapped the Yanling knife on his waist on the table, and the jade handle flickered with a faint light, which made Lu Huan's heart palpitate.
I only heard Jia Cong shouting: "Don't talk about raiding the family, even if you directly kill all the Erlu clan today, Your Majesty will not blame me." As for what the world spurns? Who would dare? ”
Lu Huan didn't expect Jia Cong to be so tough and ruthless, so he took two steps back in a row, stretched out a hand and pointed at Jia Cong tremblingly: "You...... You ......"
"Don't you, don't you, Ben Bo called you over today just to satisfy my curiosity, after all, it's the first time I've seen a beast that even his own daughter is defiled!"
Jia Cong sneered and beckoned to the soldiers outside the door: "Escort this beast down and interrogate ...... well."
The soldiers immediately walked in and escorted him down, Jia Cong looked at the puddle of water stains on the ground in the hall with disgust, pouted and said to himself: "What kind of Confucian do you still say, and you still call yourself a scholar?" Phew, shame! ”
"Little third master, Zhu Jiangming sent a letter ......"
Jia Shiyi bypassed the puddle of water and handed a letter to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong was a little surprised, he had only left Taiyuan for a few days, how could Zhu Jiangming suddenly send superstition.
He took it and opened it, and it turned out to be the emperor's own handwriting, and there were several other letters inside.
"Holy!"
With a national scolding and exclaiming, Jia Cong hurriedly opened the attached letters and looked at them.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became, behind the Pingyang Lu clan was really standing a person from the Beijing County Palace, but this person surnamed Shui and the person from the Beijing County Palace were not people on the same road, but a spy who was inserted by the Emperor Taishang early.
It's not right to say that the spy is not right, this Beijing County Wangfu branch named Mercury is the pawn of the Emperor Taishang who was originally going to succeed the father of Shui Rong.
It's a pity that the father of water soluble died in a hurry and couldn't use it. Later, it happened to be placed in Shanxi, to prevent the palace of Beijing County from stirring up wind and rain in Shanxi.
This time, when the case of Liu Kan and others came to an incident, the Emperor Taishang took the opportunity to come to a big purge to clear the obstacles and pave the way and build bridges for the emperor's career......
"Strange, if all this is the old man's means, then why hasn't the court received any news about Liu Kan and others? The evil of these beasts was born ten years ago! ”
Jia Cong carefully read the letters in his hand several times, and the doubts in his heart were not only not solved, but even more confused.
Could it be that the Emperor Taishang watched Liu Kan and others scourge those innocent women?
That's all for tonight, continue tomorrow, good night!
