Chapter 225: Burning the Sky (1)
When the morning sun first appeared, there was a slender cloud in the sky, dyed red by the sun, and when the ministers kowtowed, just some birds passed by this side of the sky within the palace wall. The early dynasty began.
“…… Your Majesty, three days ago, Yanzhou reported that Tuoba Hong, the chief of the Tuanyan Department, had died of illness, and Tuoba Hong's eldest son had raised troops to compete with the second son for the position of chieftain, and all the tribes of Yanbei had been involved...... If this turmoil drags on for a long time, I am afraid that some other branches will be born, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Yuan Jing'an had predicted it as early as half a month ago, and ordered Siping General Yang Yan to lead the army to quell the chaos. The situation has been barely suppressed...... How to calm down at this time is subject to His Majesty's decision. ”
"Yuan Hong? I remember his name...... He was seriously ill last year, and sent his eldest son to see me, could it be that his eldest son ...... Isn't it the young master of the extension department? ”
The huge azure curtain hung down from the vault more than ten zhang high, and the lord of the Northern Qi sat on the throne, and the vast majesty radiated from this high platform in all directions. The atmosphere here is ...... Every piece of wood, every carving, every coloring, and the crowd of people standing under the throne all show the world the emperor's loneliness and incomparability, which is the origin of the lonely family. The slightest hint of dissatisfaction he showed would make the ministers change color.
"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that his eldest son Yuan Wuji was born to his original match, according to legal principles, it should be this eldest son to inherit the clan, but Tuoba Hong's original wife died early, Yuan Feng is more fond of the later Mrs. Liu, Aiwu and Wuxia, and the second son born to the Liu family is also very different...... He even wanted to abolish the eldest son and set up a concubine, and before he died, he gathered his subordinates and succeeded the subordinates by the second son, and Tuoba Hong's eldest son was angry, so he raised an army......"
Gao Wei said coldly: "This Tuoba Feng is simply ridiculous! Since he already has an elder, when he inherits the family business with the eldest son, and when the first emperor was built, he also reported to the imperial court, and I have already named Yuan Wuji as the captain of Yunlu, which is equivalent to acquiescing that this Yuan Wuji is the legitimate successor, and he can be extended...... Without my approval, he changed the successor without authorization, did he still take me and the first emperor in his eyes? ”
"As he gets older, he often makes mistakes, and it's not unusual for him to do some stupid things."
"Hey, that's weird, how confused does he have to be to be so confused that he dares to disrespect even the holy will? Your Majesty...... From the minister's point of view, tribes like the Tuoyan Department should be severely punished, and they must not be tolerated! Zu Ting stood up, "The tribes of Yanbei are already chaotic, and they are close to the wilderness, so they don't know what it means to be courteous, righteous, and humble!" Without a law to bind them, they will act unscrupulously! According to the minister, it is better to ...... Make an example! ”
"Why is that...... Why is this, Your Majesty, in the final analysis, this is Tuoba Hong's confusion is too much, abolishing the elder and the young, and abolishing the heir Lishu, the minister thinks that the imperial court should send an envoy to warn the Tuanyan Department, Liyuan Wuji is the chief, if they still don't obey, then lead the army to pacify this department, so it is right. ”
The ministers discussed a lot below, and when the voice gradually calmed down, Gao Wei said coldly: "Tuoba Hong, he dares to disobey my yang and blatantly ignore my will, and I am incompatible!" But he is dead, so he will be deprived of all the official positions canonized by the previous imperial court, demoted to a concubine, and the funeral specifications will be lowered, and his second son will be exiled! Liu was executed. Although Yuan Wuji had a reason, but after all, he provoked a military disaster, if he didn't deal with him, would anyone be able to do the same in the future? Escort him to Beijing, how to deal with it, we will discuss it later. ”
It is equivalent to playing a hundred boards each, Yanzhou, Shuozhou north of many tribes attached to the Northern Qi, the court is difficult to control, all kinds of moths emerge in endlessly, between the various tribes, you hit me, I stab you, this kind of fart is very much, Wang Hua is difficult to bathe in these remote corners, the majesty of the imperial power can not cover these people, so act unscrupulously, the emperor is a symbol of superiority for them, everyone has heard of it, we all know that the emperor is the boss, but before doing anything, There were very few people who would really take the emperor's opinion into account.
The turmoil that happened in Yanzhou this time was just a small turmoil, and it didn't set off any big waves, but Gao Wei was very angry, he spent a lot of time in Yanzhou, in order to run that place well, he sent cadres to the countryside, and migrated people to reclaim the wasteland, and did so many things, I thought that the imperial court had some deterrence to this group of people, but who would have thought that it was still this dead morality.
The point is not at all that Yuan Wuji gathered troops to make trouble in order to protect himself, nor did he have to do what he had to do if he was the eldest son and sister-in-law, the point was not these, the point was that Yuan Wuji was canonized by Gao Wei, the only legitimate heir of the Tuan Yan Department, but Tuoba Hong, an old thing, actually said that he was scrapped, and he didn't even say hello to the emperor, what did he take the emperor for? What did the other tribal chieftains think of the emperor?
"This military disaster...... There are also many tribes innocently involved in the north, and perhaps it has also affected the local states and counties, and all the losses are borne by the Extension Department, and all the tribes have grievances...... The border city stopped for a few days for this, heh, I asked Yuan Jing'an to supervise the party, and that's how he did things for me? Let people ask him, can he do it? Do you want me to personally issue an edict to let him go home to retire, huh? "The emperor's eyes are sharp," let Yang Yan transfer troops to suppress this rebellion for me, warn those chieftains who have disgraceful thoughts, be honest with me, watch from the wall, and wait for the situation to calm down...... Never change a word, just tell them ......, if you don't want to die, just give it a try! ”
Some of them had complicated faces, and some of the courtiers looked at each other with their mouths open, not knowing what to say.
Most of these are the sons of the Xun Sect, and most of them have a relationship with the border states, and this time those rough blanks made His Majesty angry, and His Majesty's slap could simply slap their faces.
In the past, these tribal chieftains were also like this, they often provoked trouble, and the court also gave euphemistic warnings, and then a small punishment was done, never so hard, so shameless.
Since the emperor sat firmly on the dragon chair, his tough side gradually appeared, and the Xunmen also succumbed to his authority, retreating again and again, and his majesty increased day by day.
Not only Yecheng, but Jinyang has almost become his hall, and the political situation of "polarization" in Northern Qi has been shaking in less than two years.
And so on...... I can't think about it......
Fortunately, the emperor only mentioned this matter slightly, and did not use the topic to make any more noise, and after the decision was made on how to solve it, he skipped the matter and did not mention it. After all, there is more than one major event that happens in the country every day, and there are many things that need to be dealt with immediately compared to the things that the chiefs are fighting for their family and property. It was almost noon, and someone came out of the class to play:
"Your Majesty, do you want to summon all the great Confucians and monks to the palace today, they have been waiting outside the hall for a long time."
"Oh," Cushman frowned slightly, and then asked, "The debate is over?" ”
"It's over, Zhiling and the others have already conceded defeat......"
"Since you admit defeat, you will be locked up in Dali Temple first, why do you have to see me?"
Gao Wei was puzzled in his heart, originally he also expected that this time should be about the same, this last dialectic, his original plan was to let Buddhism lose clearly in front of the public, so that everyone in the world could see clearly. But I didn't expect that when it came to the end, they raised their hands and surrendered, what is going on? Could it be that they thought that when they were engaged in wind and rain before, the cruel words released by Cushman and Wakefield were joking? How can it be...... Even if these people admit defeat, Cushman & Wakefield will never let them go, so what do they want to do now when they come to see themselves? Expecting the Dharma to influence him?
He didn't hesitate for too long, and directly announced them in. Other Confucianists and Taoists with smug faces don't care for the time being, Gao Wei's eyes are on the monks, at this time, the Zhiling monk headed by him raised his eyes, just staring at the emperor, at that moment, Gao Wei felt that there was a spike on this person's body, which made him very uncomfortable, and after a pause, Gao Wei said: "It seems that the masters have lost......"
"Your Majesty, yes, we ...... We lost, but we didn't lose. ”
Gao Wei squinted his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "How do you say this?" ”
"We didn't lose to you, gentlemen, we lost to our own people...... Some Buddhist scum. ”
"You're not convinced?"
"They are convinced, but the old monk is not convinced......" Monk Zhiling faced the Great Qi Supreme and said these words that can almost be called arrogant, "If it hadn't happened too suddenly and disrupted our position, no matter what, the debate would not have been lost." ”
Gao Wei faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, looked at this ordinary old monk vigilantly, and chuckled, "Since you feel so good about yourself, why don't you have another debate?" I can afford to wait. ”
The Zhiling monk just kept shaking his head and sighing, "It's late, it's late, it's already split internally, and we can't work together anymore." ”
Cushman was puzzled and glanced at the monks, only to realize that they had actually divided into two groups.
The people on one side are the same as the Zhiling monks, they are tough, and the people on the other side are much more deferent and distinct. What are they doing?
"They feel guilty and won't argue anymore no matter what." Zhiling shook his head.
"What about you?"
"The old monk thinks that the old monk is not wrong." Monk Zhiling was awe-inspiring, "The old monk lost to the scum of Buddhism and lost to his own people...... but Buddhism did not lose, and Buddhism will not lose." ”
Gao Wei stared at him, leaned forward, pressed one hand on the table, the back of his hand was bruised, and his face was expressionless, and then, he smiled:
"I underestimate you, you want to directly go past the others and confront me face to face?"
It's quiet.
“…… But what if I don't? "Murderous.
………………………… Dividing line ........................
I myself have no ill will towards monks, and I have a lot of respect for virtuous people. It's just for the sake of the plot that is set, so it's written. If any reader misunderstood, then I apologize here. I'm sorry.
