Chapter 112: Taking the Fortune as a Hostage
Zhang Yu and Zhong Yue each took a case and went up the steps and placed it in front of Xinlingjun and Si Mang. Xin Lingjun stood up from the seat, walked to the front of the steps, and said to the doormen below the steps: "Dare to eat with all the gentlemen." The doormen should make a noise and go to the east chamber in order to get food. Xin Lingjun said to Zhang Yu and Zhong Yue again: "Dare to invite the second gentleman to sit at the same table!" The two said, "Serve with all your might." "Sit down under the shoulders of Shinling-kun. Xin Lingjun and Si Mang respectively finished drinking and eating, and all the guests also took the food and returned to their places, Zhong Yue stood up and said: "The right side of the Liang doorman is Mang, skilled in military affairs, proficient in the battalion, clear in righteousness, and diligent in royal affairs. Indisputable and famous, self-evident, you deeply respect it, and I am willing to enjoy it! ”
All the guests sat up and crossed their hands in response: "Salute!" "Go down.
Si Mang hurriedly avoided the table and bowed back, and said: "Since you eat Junlu, you should be loyal." The king is gracious, and the minister does not dare to be. But do your best to repay your kindness! ”
Zhong Yue said: "Jun Fang, drink." "And every man took a cup of wine, and every man drank a cup. Si Mang also returned to the table and drank a drink.
Zhong Yue said: "Eat again, eat again." Everyone twisted a handful of rice, put it in their mouths, and drank another mouthful of soup.
Zhong Yue said: "Three feasts, eat again." "Everyone took a vegetable, put it in sauce, and put it in their mouths.
Zhong Yue said: "Licheng! Please take care of yourself. Then he returned to the table and took a meal of corn. The three of them on Xinlingjun's side ate a few bites, and when they saw that Si Mang no longer moved, he also stopped, Xinlingjun asked: "Why does Mangqing stop eating and don't eat, and would rather not eat well?" There is a lack of things in the camp, may you not blame it! ”
Si Mang said: "The monarch and the ministers eat meat, and the ministers dare to complain." But what the minister thinks, the camp has a meal every day, and it is like adding vegetables. So I can't bear it! ”
When Xinling Jun heard this, he glanced at Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu said: "Jun food is also insufficient, and he is feasting on Jun today, but he has pheasant ears." ”
Si Mang said: "Mr. Xinling Shangqing, what strategy will you use to enter the king?" ”
Xinling Jun said: "I was about to discuss with Qing, but I was waiting for dinner." ”
Si Mang said: "The affairs of the military state, why not wait for dinner." ”
Xinling Jun said: "In this way, Qing will go to the hall and enter the room." "Stand up and ask Si Mang. Si Mang also stood up and returned the salute, followed Xinling Jun into the hall, Zhang Yu hurriedly followed, Zhong Yue walked to the front of the steps, and said, "The gentleman and Si Mang have important matters to discuss, you are free", also followed the hall, turned to the right, and entered the study. Xin Lingjun and the other three were making concessions, and the guests and hosts sat down, and Zhong Yue also followed and sat down under Zhang Yu's shoulders.
After the salute again, Xin Lingjun said: "Please Mr. Zhang give a little advice." ”
Zhang Yu said: "The army is close to the nursery, so there is no need to transport grain from Daliang, nor there is no need to go to other places to get grain, only transfer it from the nursery, which is fast and convenient." ”
Si Mang said: "The minister also has this intention, but he doesn't dare to ask for ears!" ”
Zhang said: "What are the obstacles? ”
Si Mang said: "The garden field is the king's field, and the sacrifices, the palace, the hundred officials, the hundred workers, the harem, and the prince's expenses are out." If it is diverted to military spending today, it will be useless if it is less, and it will be detrimental to the royal family. That's why it's difficult. ”
Xinling Jun said: "Mangqing is old enough to seek the country, and he thinks far. Lone has sent an envoy to transfer food, what can Qing teach me? ”
Si Mang said: "Who is the envoy?" ”
Xinling Jun said: "The princes follow the Liang Captain." ”
Si Mang said: "Its food gardeners are also." I don't know what to say? ”
Xinling Jun said: "There is no other, but words are actually true." ”
Si Mang said: "The ministers live in the lower ranks, so they can understand the feelings of the division." The king thinks about it, if the garden guards the grain of 100,000 stones in the army, and the army wins, is it merit to the garden to guard it? In the future, the royal family will not be even, and the garden will be too much? The keeper, the guard, the residence without moving. If you don't keep your duties, you will take care of the left and right, and you will be responsible for your duties! The keeper of the garden and the grain of the garden for the royal family is its origin; For the military, the end also. Abandon the original and chase the end, what can it be? ”
Xinling Jun said: "The great man of the country is sacrificing and fighting. And the military, why not? ”
Si Mang said: "The great man of the country is also the king of the plotter; The one who is the big one in the field is the one who plans to keep the field. Guarding the grain of the garden field for the royal family, this garden field guard is loyal to the Wei family. ”
Xinling Jun said: "According to what Qing said, it is too much to be alone!" What is right? ”
Si Mang said: "The minister dare not speak! ”
Xinling Jun said: "It's okay to say it, what's the problem!" ”
Si Mang said: "The ministers are full of subordinates, but they are the pawns of the camp, the soldiers and horses, the orders are clear, and the battle is trapped, and others dare not know." ”
When Xinling Jun heard this, he immediately got up, approached Si Mang's seat, crossed his hands on his chest, and said: "Lonely, young and lost, long and young, short-sighted, willing to learn from the sage." Liang Guards Battalion Reckless, noble martial arts, pure thinking, no taboo please learn from it, I hope my son has the righteousness of teaching without class, no abandonment of dullness, and open foolishness! After speaking, he bowed three times.
Si Mang was shocked, hurriedly avoided the table and tended to be lower, bowed to the ground, and said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes, conspiracy with the king and disloyalty, and is confined to his own selfishness. Death penalty! ”
Zhang Yu and Zhong Yue also got up from their seats, helped Si Mang, and said, "Sir, please take a seat." You have doubts, but please excuse me. ”
When Si Mang got up, he was already in tears, and he couldn't cry. Xinlingjun moved closer to each other and said, "Sir, but you have something to say, you can say that you are unscrupulous." Zhang Yu and Zhong Yue sat on both sides, comforting softly, Si Mang slowly calmed down, and said: "The minister is out of grass and thatch, he has no virtue, and he has made meritorious deeds at the beginning of his thoughts, and he is noble lintel." Now that he has failed to achieve success, he has lost his name, he has given up on himself, and he does not know where the rotten bones go. Today's humiliation of the king's kindness, the minister does not know where to return! ”
Zhang Yu said: "How can a gentleman be humble. Zi said: 'Lose the courtesy and seek the wilderness. 'The meat eaters despise, but the handsome are in the temple. Therefore, Xinling Jun is respected as a prince, and Corporal Lixian is not a gentleman alone. ”
Si Mang said: "The son is virtuous, the minister has heard about it for a long time, and he can't wait to serve the son." ”
Xinling Jun said: "Lonely widows and widows are rarely able to do so, and the country of a thousand times depends on the sages." Now there is no doubt about it, I wish Mangqing would teach me. ”
Si Mang's expression eased, pulled his thoughts back again, and muttered: "What the minister is worried about is hard to believe and hard to do. Today's monarch is humiliated with heavy courtesy, and he does not allow his ministers to wait for the axe without saying anything. If the son takes a few years of money as a word, then the thing will be done. After speaking, he bowed his head and leaned to the ground.
Xinling Jun said: "Sir, why is it here." May you be more detailed. ”
Si Mang said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes, and he can't worry about the king, but he will lose his wealth." It's really useless. ”
Zhong Yue said: "The king has not sinned against the king and the king has sinned himself, how wrong. If in doubt, be prepared to consult, and the position of a counselor is also. As for whether to use it or not, you are at ease. May you be in detail. ”
Si Mang said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes, dare to ask how old you are?" ”
Xinling Jun said: "Lonely and ignorant of home. …… It is about one and a half stones per mu per year, and the household tax is 15 stones, and there are 100,000 households in Xinling, which is more than one million stones. The great king is rewarded, and he is outside. ”
Si Mang said: "This is a big thing. The king takes millions of years as the quality, borrowing the grain from the garden, although 500,000 stones, what is the problem! ”
