Chapter 367 Changes
"He dares!"
"Duke Wen, the Master said that he should not do to others what he did not want others to do to him. Lao Tzu said that if he wanted to suppress him, he would strengthen him. If he wanted to weaken him, he would strengthen him. Zhou Li also said that if he wanted to take him, he would definitely give him some help. Lu Chunqiu also said that if he wanted to destroy him, he would definitely burden him. Well, look at the court's kindness to Zhao Zhong, so that he could not resist his sword and his neck. First, he said that when he was a teenager, he had been living in Xixia. What is the relationship between his grudges and hatred? "
At least before Li Sangou defected to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not give any virtue.
"In the more than ten years of reclusive life in Wangjiazhai, in such a poor area, it is still a place where officials come to collect taxes and service. What kind of favor did the court impose on Zhao Zhong?"
"I tried to persuade him for a long time before he came out. Yes, now he was given a position as a governor, but can that governor take it seriously? If he took it seriously, Lu Shi would not dare to deceive his superiors and hide his subordinates like this and gathered a large army to wipe it out. Or in other words, salary, there is a salary of hundreds of stakes a year, but can it be one percent of Duke Wen's income? Is this income or is it exchanged for his military achievements and blood? Is he kind to our dynasty, or is it kind to him?"
"Or race, our dynasty has always been a little discriminatory towards the people of the foreign people. When it comes to the foreign people, they are often called barbarians. In terms of race, how can we ensure that they are loyal to our dynasty? Or the court took in some Yeli tribes. If there were no Yeli tribes, could Dashun City defeat the people of Xixia? Without this great victory, Duke Wen, do you think the court got Suizhou and the people of Xixia were just doing some small moves? Then why did he come to rescue the people hundreds of miles, and Lu Shi added swords and swords for no reason, and let him tie his neck and wait for death?"
"What should I do?" Shao Kang said anxiously.
Lu Shu’s quarrel is not a joke.
Once the two fight and fight each other, the consequences will be serious.
Wang Ju said again: "The officials said that Lu Xian colluded with Xixia. That was over. After all, the official who earned Lu Xian was the monthly salary of hundreds of ordinary families. For the sake of this wealth, he would not surrender to Xixia."
Wen Yanbo was very unhappy.
Wang Ju first said so much, but actually omitted a word before. It’s dirty!
Now there is another mention of salary. How many people in the Song Dynasty were even higher than him?
"But the officials only want to say three things. In the past, the border was often plundered by the Xixia people. The literati did not mention rescue or how to fight back. They even said that they were using barbarians to control barbarians. Well. Now that they are not regarded as a family, then don't pursue how Zhao Zhong fights back. If they are not a family, why should they be loyal?"
Zhao Xu also frowned slightly.
The ethnic policy of the Song Dynasty was definitely not good, and it was both afraid and rejected. How could the Fan Barbarians be loyal?
Therefore, Wang Ju used this spear and the shield.
"But Wangjia Village is a Han Chinese. Or, if it is not enough to rescue the border, although Wangjia Village is on the border, it is not really on the front line. Besides, a few days ago, the Zhu family informed Lu Shen that there was some time to arrange for rescue. Or Wangjia Village was a troublemaker. But it is not the case that Wangjia Village was so hard before, and he had to bear heavy taxes and labor every year. That is, after the Xiaguan was a martyr, he had to pay taxes. Duke Wen, how old was at that time, at that time, he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he had to support a younger brother and sister. Not to mention now, now it is just Taoxi Jian, which brought a considerable amount of commercial taxes to Yanzhou in a year. He was a Han Chinese. He paid taxes and paid a lot of taxes. Didn't the court send troops to protect him?"
"Okay, I plan to think that the Qi people mentioned by the ancestors' family law are fools. We scholars and officials are arrogant and the people should die, and they should be like pigs! The officials will say another thing, why did I and Mr. Cai bring out a group of brave soldiers? Although it was training and a large amount of rewards, there was also that the Jianren Armor reduced from fifty kilograms to less than thirty kilograms. After 20 kilograms of weight, the defense strength did not decrease. What role would this play on the battlefield? Furthermore, it was the tiger entourage cannon. However, the most important technology of these two is the simple steel smelting technology. It was this steel smelting technology that the sharp Taoxi sword appeared. Lu Shi had not known it for so long in Yanzhou? But why did he silently not save it? It was not a collaboration with the enemy, but a show of kindness."
"No, he is leaving Yanzhou soon."
"Yes, he left Yanzhou, but the place to take office is Qinzhou. There are no Xixia people in the west of Qinzhou? Now he silently observes that Xixia has broken through Wangjiazhai and obtained the steel smelting technology of Taoxi sword. So if the Xixia people are happy, will they attack Qinzhou?"
"Where are you quibbling?"
"Duke Wen, what is cunning? Isn't it just to silently watch Lu Shi gather officers and soldiers and massacre Zhao Zhong's thousand soldiers? Isn't it a cunning?" Zhao Xu said very unhappy.
With just one sentence, Wen Yanbo started to be a turtle again.
He protected Lu Shi for the sake of Gorge.
But he has nothing to do with Lu Shi himself, so why bother offending Zhao Xu for Lu Shi? Don’t say that he is so strong that Han Qi was forced to step down in the end, so why bother?
Lu Feng is dead!
Zhao Xu also said: "Immediately use a fast horse to send an order to Yanzhou, and order Lu Shen not to raise troops. After Guo Kui arrives, Guo Kui will decide. In addition, I will send a central envoy to personally investigate the truth or falsehood of this matter!"
Han Jiang said worriedly: "I'm afraid the edict will be too late."
"There may be a conflict, but now it's not too late to make up for the loss of sheep," said Wang Ju. No, Zhao Du went to Yanzhou. This is a smart person who will definitely stop Li Sangou from being impulsive.
Wang Ju walked out of the Privy Council and breathed a long sigh in the cold north wind.
The thing he wanted to do most in the Privy Council was to stretch out his fist and punch Wen Yanbo's mouth and teeth. But he didn't do that in the end, and he endured it and said so much nonsense.
"Politics is really a big dyeing vat," Wang Julian exclaimed several times and said to himself.
But no matter how he suppressed it, what happened today still made him unhappy, and as soon as he returned to the inn, Huang Liang asked, "Zi'an, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wang Ju said.
The first one is far away. What happened, including myself, is just a guess.
The second one is still far away. Zhao Xu issued an edict, and this is the only way, something happened and it happened.
However, when he lay in bed, a question emerged in his mind: whether it was reform or revolution.
If it is improved, his career will be very open in the future. One is Zhao Xu's trust, the other is golden fingers. Military water conservancy achievements, and now all kinds of instructions to Zhao Xu. Perhaps Wen Yanbo still regards him as a small person and doesn't care about his feelings. In fact, Wang Ju's starting point is very high now.
Then, if you follow the trend and correct some of the defects that can be corrected in the Song Dynasty, you will not offend many people, and you will still be able to accomplish a lot of things.
The second path will be a thorough correction, but it also means that the heads of people are rolling, and it is not the heads of officials. It may be the heads of many scholars and officials.
Wang Ju couldn't figure out the importance of it. Finally, before going to bed, there was only one thought in his mind. Lu Sheng would better shoot him to death first...
Zhao Xu didn't know that there was a terrible thought in Wang Ju's mind.
He was worried about the front.
What Wang Ju said is not a joke. If he backfired, Lu Shi would ignore the importance of the matter and really attack Li Sangou. Li Sangou fought back, and the trouble would be great later.
Lu Shizhen started.
The main reason was that he did not understand the relationship between Zhao Xu and Wang Ju. He knew that Wang Ju was in the capital, but he didn't know what Wang Ju was doing in the capital. He thought he was just a small Jing official who didn't even have the qualification to go to court.
So he knew that Wangjiazhai was Wang Ju's hometown. Li Sangou was promoted by Wang Juti, but he didn't care too much. On the contrary, because of Zhong Yan, new and old hatreds, he quickly gathered the tenth battalion of troops and rushed to Wangjiazhai.
"My mother, the tenth battalion of soldiers were able to be transferred out the tenth battalion of soldiers. Why did the people of Xixia kill so many villagers?"
At the beginning, Lu Shi transferred out the tenth battalion of troops, but he might not be able to defeat the 5,000 Xixia people. But is it necessary to transfer the tenth battalion of troops? Just transfer out the two battalions of troops to Wangjiazhai. The Xixia people did not attack the city for a long time, and after two days of attack, they would retreat.
"Kill his mother," Li Sangou said angrily again.
Although Lu Shi transferred the tenth battalion troops, but without the command of the general, Li Sangou took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain around Wangjiazhai and was able to kill the tenth battalion troops to the point of falling water.
"No, Zhao's commander, no," Zhao Du immediately advised: "Even if Zhao's commander can defeat them, have you ever thought about the future? If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the villagers of Wangjiazhai and the tribesmen in Qingzhou."
"Are you just being angry with this dog official?"
"Don't be afraid, Guo Kui will come to Yanzhou to hand over immediately. Besides, it seems that the emperor also believes in Zi'an," Zhao Du advised again. Zhao Du did not see the scene of Zhao Xu's white dragon fish suit, but with his subconscious mind, he realized that Wang Ju's status in Zhao Xu's heart should be quite low.
Li Sangou continued to be furious and walked around, asking, "What should I do? Are you waiting for death?"
"It's really not possible. Let's go to Wangjia Village to avoid it for a few days. If Lu Shi sends soldiers to attack the city, I will stand on the wall of the village for you and shout and convince them."
Li Sangou held back his anger and withdrew his subordinates and the people back to the village.
Lu Shi brought the 10th battalion of Song troops to attack with great momentum and prepared to attack. Zhao Du came to the wall of the village and shouted loudly: "Listen to your brothers outside, your Lu Shi is afraid of death. Zhao Zhong instructed his subordinates to bring his subordinates to rescue him. What crime is there? If you believe Lu Shi and launch an attack on Wangjia Village, we have to fight back. Lu Shi is already angry because he is afraid of death. Therefore, he asked Guo Kui and Guo Gong to replace him. He will be required soon.
Come to Yanzhou. Today, the two generals were killed, and Lu Shi was just an official who lost power. Wang Ju was appreciated by His Majesty because of his merits, and he was rising like a rising day. The two generals were arguing, and Lu Shi was a scholar and a gentry who was not guilty of death. In the end, Zhao Zhong was instructed to be guilty, and you were also guilty. Zhao Zhong was beheaded, and you would also be beheaded. Moreover, Wang Ju is the only Jinshi in Yanzhou. If you kill his tribe members, don’t you want to gain a foothold in Yanzhou in the future?”
"Call him to death," Lu Feng roared.
"Mr. Lu, I am a guest of Wang Ju. You, a civil servant who lost power, dares to shoot me to death. You are not afraid that Wang Ju will take revenge on you in the future. If you die, don't forget that you also have family, clan members, and descendants. Brothers, I'm standing here, who dares to shoot?"
This is just a big blow to the big skin and big drums, but the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are not worth much. Not to mention the contributions made by Wang Ju, even the layers of relationships that Wang Ju carved in Yanzhou. No one could afford this shooting.
Lu Shi was so angry that he shook his head, Zhao Du said again: "Brothers, please tell me if you are the one who is in charge of Zhao Zhong. This is the commander of Zhao Zhong, who doesn't want to kill each other. We are soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Arrows have the ability to do external things. What is the ability to do in the nest? If you really fight, are you the opponents of Zhao Zhong's commander and a thousand men? Think about the five thousand Western Xia soldiers, and they were defeated by Zhao in an instant. Can your combat effectiveness be comparable to that of the five thousand Xia soldiers? Have you ever experienced the battle of Dashun City with the 100,000 Western Xia army?"
"And the new magistrate is coming, do you know what he thinks? But please believe that Mr. Guo's brother is the younger brother of Guo Zun, the first brave general in the Battle of Sanchuankou. He will never be a greedy person. If you are confused today, leading to a bad story, I believe Mr. Guo will not forgive you. Why don't you delay a few days, and believe that Mr. Guo will come to Yanzhou within a few days. Besides, Mr. Lu is about to leave. Do you need to be afraid to curry favor with Mr. Lu? Remember, this curry favor may be your life. After I finished speaking, with the trenches as the boundary, the one who surpasses will shoot and kill him. If Mr. Guo comes, we will continue to be like Mr. Lu. What if Mr. Zhao is willing to surrender?"
But Zhao Du said in his heart that he hoped that Wang Ju could come up with a solution after receiving Li Sangou's letter in the capital.
Otherwise, if Tian knew that Guo Kui was coming, would he be in love with Lu Shu?
No one knows his worries, but it makes sense, especially in the middle, when compared with military strength, his tenth battalion of troops was less than 5,000. If it was really a fire, was it the enemy of a thousand elite cavalry?
But the turning point of things was not Zhao Du's words, but to eliminate the Central Envoy who was dismissed.
This is a number of heads from one state.
After counting Yanzhou, the Central Envoy and the officials of the Western Prefecture immediately went to Fuzhou, the Security Army, Danzhou, and now they are checking Fangzhou, but Suizhou is helpless.
They were far away, so when the incident happened, the two of them didn't know much about it. However, such a big incident also spread to Fangzhou.
The Zhongshi Yu was not very clear about other situations, but he vaguely knew that the emperor and Wang Ju were not clear about it. When he started to discuss, he didn't care much about it. When he heard that Wangjiazhai was Wang Ju's hometown, he immediately became nervous and hurriedly rode his horse to the security guards, and then persuaded Lu Shu.
The eunuch Yu could not shock Lu Shi, but with Zhao Du's call, the morale of the three armies was depressed, so he delayed the time for another two days. At this time, Lu Shi accepted Zhao Xu's first edict, asking him to rescue Wangjiazhai no matter what.
At this time, Lu Shi began to get angry. A small village was actually worthy of Zhao Xu's personal edict. It is true that what eunuch Yu said was not false. That boy named Wang had a different relationship with the emperor.
Then Zhao Xu issued a second edict again.
In desperation, Lu Shi had to withdraw his troops and go back.
But the matter was not over yet, and Li Sangou's letter also arrived in the capital.
Wang Ju said nothing, but did not pass through the Western Prefecture, but handed it to Zhao Xu through the Eastern Prefecture. Now the main lord is Wen Yanbo, and he is Lu Gongbi, some two-system ministers, and the ministers of the censorship. However, the Eastern Prefecture never made any sound. The reason is very simple, Zeng Gongliang and Wen Yanbo were not ministers along the way.
Especially Yang Hui, because Zeng Gongliang and his son Zeng Xiaokuan ruled the Drum Court, Yang Hui impeached him. Zhao Xu told Teng Fu that the Drum Court should convey it to himself. Is it so cautious?
Teng Fu said, if someone complains to the prime minister and asks his son to convey it, would he dare to sue again?
Therefore, Zhao Xu had to change Zeng Xiaokuan's position.
If Zeng Gongliang had not wanted this book, he might not be as dazzling as Han Qi and others, but he should not underestimate his mind. The censors' partnership with Zeng Xiaokuan, and Zeng Gongliang has never expressed his opinion, but I believe he will be unhappy.
As expected by Wang Ju, Zeng Gongliang immediately reported to Zhao Xu after seeing Wang Jushu's first aid letter from Li Sangou.
Not to mention the others, even the whip corpse was whipped out. In this way, Lu Shi did not send out reinforcements. However, after Li Sangou defeated the people of Xixia, Lu Shi gathered troops and prepared to suppress Li Sangou and the people of Wangjiazhai. If this continues, will the border of the Song Dynasty still want peace?
Zhao Xu was about to faint from anger, and he said weakly: "This is my important minister of the Song Dynasty..." (To be continued)
