Chapter 57: Sugar-Coated Cannonballs

"Say it and listen to the wild dogs......" Liu Bei repeatedly smacked this sentence, except for Mo Ran or Mo Ran.

Wouldn't it be a loss of discipline for a man to be a ruler and entrusted by his ministers?

Looking at his brother's face, Zhang Fei hesitated:

"Big brother, I'll go and tie up that Li Miao now!"

"Sit down!" was interrupted by Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei was a little crying and laughing:

"It's just a villain, why bother with it?"

Seeing that Liu Bei's face was not as dignified as just now, Zhang Fei trotted over to pinch Liu Bei's neck and said:

"Didn't you say it before? Wei Yan's unlucky guy has a personal enmity with Yang Yi, and it can't be said that Wei Yan's Yi clan is Yang Yi's private report. ”

"Looking at it this way, isn't Adou comparable to Emperor Xiaowen's benevolence?"

Zhang Fei's words made Liu Bei think of Emperor Wen of the Great Wei, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his behavior.

"I only hate Adou Shang for being young......," Liu Bei said to himself.

Hearing this, Kong Ming suggested: "If the lord misses, why don't you send someone to send Adou and the two ladies here?" ”

Liu Bei was quite moved, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it:

"Peace and security, peace and happiness, born in sorrow and death in peace."

"Yizhou has Shu Road in the north and Yi Road in the east, which is dangerous and important in the world, and there are fertile fields for thousands of miles to be self-sufficient."

"Emperor Gaozu holds Hanzhong and does not enter Shu, and Liu Adou should do the same."

Saying that, Liu Bei also made up his mind:

"It is advisable to repair the book with Yun Chang and Shang Xiang, and strictly discipline Adou."

Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, Zhang Fei didn't say more, but just excused Adou:

"The final surrender may not be the disaster of Adou, maybe the bones of the people of Nayizhou are too soft."

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Liu Ba: ?

Zhang Fei hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm talking about that Zhou!" ”

The two military advisors looked at the back and narrated Jiang Boyo's words, Pang Tong relapsed again, and gently poked Kong Ming with his elbow:

"How? Otherwise, send someone to Tianshui to invite Jiang Wei? ”

Kong Ming would have objected before, but now he is a little hesitant.

Putting aside his talent for the time being, his ambition is simply too appetizing for him, why do good men need to be thieves!

"Tianshui is here, the road is far away......"

And the other party is still a young child, thinking of this, Kong Ming still shook his head:

"If you see Jiang Wei, you still need Shi Yuan to show his strengths first, and I will sit and watch how to take Hanzhong."

Pang Tong was flattered.

[Brother Boyo is undoubtedly a loyal minister, but he is also a lonely minister.

The victorious Wei and Jin needed a target to attack in order to win over Ji Han's old ministers, and Ji Han's old ministers also needed a black pot, and there was almost no need to hesitate too much, both sides felt that Brother Boyo was up to the task!

From the perspective of Wei and Jin, Jiang Wei rebelled and then surrendered, and then rebelled, which was a great crime!

In Ji Han's opinion, you Jiang Wei is reckless in military force, harming the country's strength to create a private name, and you are a villain!

Therefore, Jiang Wei's evaluation in the annals of history is basically deeply bound to the reckless army.

Why couldn't you help Jiang Wei speak? for they are all dead.

The descendants of Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Huang Quan, Fu Wei, Liu Bei, etc., either died in battle or committed suicide, and even Jiang Wei was defeated and died.

And the source of Jiang Wei's lifelong tragedy is because he really "inherits Zhuge 's legacy".

But it's a pity that Wu Hou's deathbed confession and teacher list do not have Jiang Wei's name.

After Wuhou, the two hand-picked successors were pessimistic about the Northern Expedition, and Jiang Wei in this case had only one way to fight to the death.

After Fei Yi's death, although Jiang Wei was ordered to supervise the military, Huang Hao's ascension to the throne became a stumbling block for Jiang Weixin.

In the end, even when Liu Chan ordered him to surrender, Jiang Wei still planned to fight to the death in order to "restore the sun and the moon and regain his sight", which can be said to have shed the last drop of blood for Han.

And when the courtiers are loyal, what is Liu Chan, the lord, doing? Unfortunately, Liu Chan was crushed by Cao Wei's sugar-coated cannonball......

Compared with Emperor Ji Han and Duke Anle of Wei and Jin, which day was a little happier? Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, it does seem to be a little more comfortable.

For example, compare the days of the nobles of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Ji and Han dynasties:

Xiahou has 2,500 households, and his family also has 1,000 households, and his seven sons and two grandchildren are all named Guanneihou.

There are 9,600 households and their children and grandchildren are all marquises, and Deng Ai is as many as 20,000 households.

Emperor Cao Rong himself set up eight music workshops, each with thousands of people, and tens of thousands of harem concubines and palace maids.

"There are thousands of people who sweep the court and practice singing" is the record of Wei itself.

In contrast, Ji Han is very cold:

For example, Wuhou has fifteen hectares of thin fields in his cousin's house, and according to the "Jin Book Food and Goods Chronicle", "the first product accounts for fifty hectares...... The eighth grade is fifteen hectares, and the ninth grade is ten hectares. ”

In other words, the treatment of Wuhou is similar to that of the bottom of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and counting the fact that most of the officials of the Wei and Jin dynasties embezzled the land, the land of the ninth grade should also far exceed that of Wuhou.

Is it only Wuhou who treats himself harshly? No, you will find that compared with others, Wuhou has become a big landlord.

According to the records of the Three Kingdoms: Fei Yi's family has no money to spare, his son often wears cloth clothes, there is no meat in the food, and he can only rely on two legs to go out.

Dong He is also a rough Mai, and the wealth left in the family after his death is less than a stone of grain.

Jiang Wei does not accept concubines, has no wealth and no land, and lives with his wife in an official house.

Deng Zhi did not manage the land, and when he was alive, he even occasionally made his wife hungry because of poverty, and after his death, the family was also poor.

Zhang Wei was the worst, because he was not allowed to lead the troops because of his illness, so he went to Guanghan Taishou to borrow money to cure the illness before he was allowed to lead the troops to the battle.

In this case, of course, Liu Chan's life is not much better, and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms record that Liu Chan wanted to take a few more concubines, but was scolded back by Dong Yun.

Dong Yun said that the number of concubines in Gu Tianzi's harem is only twelve, and you have already reached the upper limit, what else do you want?

In this environment, even if Adou is degenerate, there is actually not much to have fun with, just like the old Three Kingdoms, no matter how mediocre Adou was during his reign, he was just a cricket......

It wasn't until he came to Luoyang that Adou found that his life had turned a new chapter.

Sima Zhao gave Adou the title of Marquis of Wanhu, which means that although he can't enjoy the level of Cao Pi and Cao Ei, he still belongs to 10,000 people.

Gorgeous costumes, extravagant feasting and drinking, singing every night, these are just the most basic enjoyments.

The beauty spittoon, the wine pond meat forest, the five stones are scattered, and the gritted teeth are not unaffordable.

This kind of indulgent and hedonistic life is very different from the hard life in Shuzhong. 】

On the light curtain, the ministers in the hall saw with their own eyes two scenes that made them extremely divided.

They saw the pale-haired Jiang Wei, surrounded by the rebels, forced by one person and one sword to dare not get close, and finally had no choice but to kill himself, leaving a sentence:

"I can't do it, it's destiny!"

Then it rained heavily, and Wei Chen came to close his eyes and salute him.

As soon as the picture turned, they saw a mellow middle-aged "Adou", dressed in a brocade robe, watching the concubine dancing and tasting wine, and said leisurely:

"It's fun here, don't think about it."

Heroes die, but the mediocre lord lives forever.

Liu Bei was dumbfounded.

He only felt that there was still a wave of anger in his chest that had nowhere to vent, surging back and forth in his chest, becoming more and more intense, and finally pulled out his sword with a "rub" and slashed at several cases.

A piece of wood turned into a pile of broken wood in an instant.

Facing the worries of the ministers, Liu Bei waved his hand weakly:

"I'm not angry, but angry!"

Liu Bei, who got up proudly, did not put the sword into the sheath, put the long sword in front of his eyes and flicked it gently, and the blade had a clanging sound.

"Since the beginning of the three brothers, I have seen such bloody loyal ministers as Jiang Boyo."

"At that time, the three of us brothers said to ourselves, we want to prosper, and we should make the righteous and loyal ministers have no such dilemma!"

"Results ......"

With a long sigh, Liu Bei put his sword into the sheath and stared at the light curtain silently.

If it is said that the Wuhou Temple was the most impressed when he commented on the generals before, Zhang Wei was undoubtedly the first to be recommended for Liu Bei.

He went out to fight with illness, led the Wudang Flying Army to fight a bloody battle with Cao Wei, and fought to the last to sacrifice his life for the country, which can be called a hero.

As a result, such a hero did not even have money for medical treatment......

In addition, those names have all been heard more than once in the light curtain, they are Ji Han's loyal ministers and good generals, but they don't have the treatment to match them at all.

At this time, Liu Bei's anger towards Adou was surprisingly light:

Is this Adou's fault? How can a child who only knows how to fight crickets resist the temptation of this prosperous Luoyang?

Even Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the time when he was studying when he was young.

Dog fighting, horse riding, racing cars, beautiful clothes and other things occupied all of his time and attention at that time.

It is only now that he looks back and regrets that he did not read a few more books and ask a few more questions to his teacher at that time.

"I'm Liu Xuande......"

Liu Bei was upright and looked down at everyone in the hall:

"I am really ashamed of the ministers of the Han family!"

[But even so, when Sima Zhao asked Adou for the second time, he expressed a completely different idea:

The grave of my father is far away in Longshu, and I don't think about it every day.

Personally, I think Adou's two answers are just like his evaluation in history, benevolent but incompetent.

Happiness was the first true reaction of the fat house Adou, but then after being admonished by Yin Zheng, the kindness in his heart regained the upper hand, and he respected the courtiers who gave up everything to follow him in this crisis, and clumsily expressed his thoughts.

Adou is undoubtedly the kindest monarch of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no one.

This kind of fat house nature is actually no different from Liu Bei's love of dog fighting and beautiful clothes when he was young.

The difference is that Liu Bei has experienced troubled times, seen with his own eyes that human life is like a mustard, and after ups and downs, he intends to end the troubled times and recast Yanhan.

And Adou has been well protected by Liu Bei since he can remember, there are natural dangers in Shu, and there is a father in the military and government, and this piece of Liu's jade lacks the opportunity to become a hundred forges.

When Liu Bei was beaten over and over again by this troubled era, he made up his mind to seek fame and visit the virtuous and chase the faint hope that belonged to Ji Han.

Liu Chan, who is the same age, was raised in the deep palace, and all he saw was a side of the sky drawn by the courtyard wall, and all he could blaspheme was the two crickets handed over by the inner servant.

For Emperor Zhaolie's bloodline, the stable deep palace court may be the place to lock up ambitions. 】
