Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Wu Hao's End
"Zhou Yafu Ming was a fierce personality and could not bear to be imprisoned and died on a hunger strike. In fact, he had extraordinary achievements and was proud and complacent. Once, Emperor Wu of Han, who was the crown prince, inspected the Xiyao military camp, and all the soldiers shouted long live the general, but did not call him the crown prince. Emperor Jing of Liu was not an unvirtuous king, but he was in poor health and was still alive. When he heard this, he thought of the past. When he deposed Prince Li, Zhou Yafu firmly opposed it and was loyal to the former crown prince, not to the present crown prince. Worrying.
Next, he made a test. The palace hosted a banquet to entertain the ministers, deliberately giving him a piece of meat, but did not give him chopsticks, to test Zhou Yafu's reaction. Zhou Yafu was very unhappy and immediately asked the officials in charge of the banquet to take the chopsticks. Emperor Jing sarcastically said, "Are you not satisfied?" Emperor Jing apologized without resigning. As soon as Emperor Jing said a word, he stood up immediately. Without waiting for Emperor Jing to speak, he left the palace by himself. Emperor Jing looked at his back and said, "How can such a person assist the young master?"
"Yes, there is something like this. When I read the Records of the Grand Historian, I often wondered why Emperor Jing of Liu didn't give him chopsticks? It turned out that's why."
"The Records of the Grand Historian were finally written by a eunuch. Although it is good, it is full of some foolish words. Your Majesty can read it, but you must think carefully and not all believe Sima Qian's comments."
"Yes," Zhao Zhen smiled and agreed with Lu Yijian's statement. Although Sima Qian is good, his identity has not yet allowed Zhao Zhen to raise Sima Qian to a very high level.
"Under this incident, Emperor Jing of Liu saw that Zhou Yafu was unruly and his health was ineffective. His son was only sixteen or seventeen years old at this time. Either some empress dowagers and queens, women and children in the palace. When he was in power, Zhou Yafu was already unruly, and he died. He then had murderous intentions. It happened that Zhou Yafu Yue made a armor and shield that used the royal family to bury him. As his future burial objects, he did not send money to the civilians and wrote a letter to report his son. So Liu
Emperor Jing asked the Tingwei to be punished and imprisoned. In fact, Zhou Yafu died after he refused to eat in prison for five days. If Emperor Jing issued an edict to comfort him, why should he die until he died? Besides, it was just a Yuezheng, and Zhou Yafu's achievements could be investigated or not. It would be nothing else, and paving the way for the prince. Otherwise, with this person's rebelliousness, he would be afraid that he would die once his son was unable to control him. This is the real cause of Zhou Yafu's death, and how could he see that the nerd Sima Qian?"
(Don't scold me, embarrassment)
"So that's the case, what does it have to do with the recall of Zheng Lang?"
"Zheng Lang was in the northwest for a long time, and his morale was even better. The situation was quite similar to Zhou Yafu back then. He also had a talent for administration. Although he was gentle, Wan Ran would not do what Zhou Yafu did, but his achievements were easily envied by others. Wood was so beautiful that Lin Feng would urge him. Three people talked about tigers, and there were many people gossiping. Even Your Majesty should use it? Now the country is difficult to use, and the Khitans are unclear. Your Majesty, it is time for a truce."
"I often think about this. This Yuanhao thief is undead."
"Even if he is rampant, he probably won't have the intention to fight hard after this battle. Both sides will stop and rest first, which will be more beneficial to our dynasty."
"I'm worried that there will be a disaster year..."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said bitterly. Grandma, I am working hard to be a good emperor, but since I took office, I have seen what happened. First, there were natural disasters for many years, and then things happened in the northwest. There was no time to settle down for a year, and even my sons died early.
Did you offend God in the Heavenly Court in your previous life (the God of China is not the God of the West, the highest god in Confucianism, and the most respected person in heaven).
"No, disasters should be warned, but no matter which day, there will be them, they will not happen every year. Your Majesty treats God and treats the people with mercy, and the disaster will automatically disappear."
"Tell me about Zheng Lang," Zhao Zhen obviously didn't want to mention this sad topic. He made a big sacrifice. Before he could finish it, Yuan Hao rebelled later.
"If you don't use troops in the northwest, it is a waste to place Zheng Lang in the northwest. First, you have been in the northwest army for a long time and are easily attacked. Second, the country goes from chaos to governance and needs talents to govern the country. I am seriously ill and the country lacks effective talents. Third, with these three things, will Your Majesty still recall Zheng Lang back to the capital?"
"How is the exemption law?"
"Your Majesty has handled it. This law has actually been implemented in Taipingzhou and Hangzhou for several years. The people of both states have claimed it. Many other state prefectures have submitted memorials and requested promotion. This is the place where the public opinion is. It is like following the flow of the boat and setting sail with the wind, which is auspicious."
"I understand, Lu Qing, you can have a good time to take care of yourself."
So Zhao Zhen had made up his mind and issued an edict to reward all the meritorious generals and ministers, and issued an edict to ask Zheng Lang to return to Beijing to be appointed as the chief minister. This is not an exclusion, but an appointment.
In fact, Lu Yijian was very cautious here, and Zhao Zhen didn't see it for the time being.
I felt that after this victory in Northwest, the resurgence of the gentlemen's forces was very unfavorable to him. At this time, Zheng Lang could not participate and shot him one by one. Otherwise, his career prospects would be very bad, so I gave Zheng Lang a favor, not only for himself, but also for his four sons.
This son is a person who values human feelings, not only for wives and concubines, but also for friends, including for Empress Dowager Liu of the past and the current emperor. In his heart, the one who is truly qualified to talk about morality is not Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan is too stupid, but Zheng Lang. He is really talking about things and not treating others with selfishness. He also has the graceful and luxurious temperament of a scholar-official, which is also highly appreciated by Lu Yijian.
People with IQs of 15 or above have different ideas than ordinary people, even if they are sick...
...
Zheng Lang said to the yamen runners: "Pick up that Wu Hao."
The yamen runner brought Wu Hao up there.
Zheng Lang stared at him, in his forties and beautiful appearance. In the past few days, Yin Zhu didn't know how the court would deal with him, so he didn't beat him again. He seemed to be doing well in prison, and his spirit recovered, and his face was full of confidence. It was probably Yin Zhu's kindness that made him have some fantasies. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Lang shouted: "Shut up, this person said something and slapped him in the face."
"Here," the two yamen runners immediately stood beside Wu Hao, raised their hands to prepare to beat him.
Let this guy not show off his quarrels first, Zheng Langcai said to Yin Zhu and Han Qi: "If a family has more than a dozen sons and parents, can they treat each son with a fair heart?"
"Impossible," Han Qi replied as if he was thinking.
"Isn't it normal to beat my son you don't like because of being biased?"
Yoon Soo nodded.
"What should I do if I am a son?"
"Our dynasty establishes the country with filial piety, and as a son, can only endure it silently."
"You can't say that. What if you meet those parents with bad tempers who are not only biased, but also very biased, beat their sons every day, or even use poison to stuff them into their mouths?"
"Won't……"
"The world is so great that there are all kinds of wonders, there are some, Brother Lu."
Yin Zhu was stunned. When he met such a parent, those who were sons would be sad. He murmured: "Xingzhi, what do you think you should do?"
"Go away, escape, leave your hometown, and make another way to live. If you still endure it silently at this time, your father stuffs the poison into his mouth. If you really eat it, it is not filial piety, but harming your parents and making them guilty of being unkind. Therefore, avoiding it is the best way."
"That's right... it's too little."
"I am making an analogy, but I ask Brother Lu. If this son has a bright future when he grows up, can he take revenge on his parents because of his childhood dislikes, and even tie them up and beat Ling Cin every day?"
"How can you do it? No matter how unkind you are, you will not be like the mother of Duke Zhuang of Wei. Duke Zhuang of Wei encountered such an unfair encounter. After Ying Kaoshu persuaded him, he met with Dasui and Dasui. Duke Zhuang of Wei said that Dasui was happy to vent his feelings. So the Spring and Autumn Period praised Ying Kaoshu, who is pure filial piety, loves his mother, and Duke Zhuang of Zhuang, and said that filial sons are not scarce, and Is this what it means?"
"What if there is such an unfilial son who even almost beat his parents to death?"
"Lingchi."
"But he has a little talent, and maybe he can bring some wealth and status to his family, so what if he should do it?"
"I want to Lingchi too." Yin Zhu said, and suddenly stopped talking.
"The small ones are the family, and the big ones are the country. Our dynasty is so big, with a population of 100 million. No matter how kind the emperor is, how can he treat every citizen fairly? It is already unfaithful to go to Khitan or Xixia to show his ambitions. But can we lead the army of the enemy country and kill the people of the Song Dynasty? Our dynasty governs the country with loyalty and filial piety, and we are brother Lu. Where is this loyalty?"
This is Zheng Lang's attitude towards traitors.
In my previous life, I often couldn't figure out that China was a nation that most valued root culture, family affection and local complex. But compared with the Jews, due to various helpless reasons, or the rulers did not do a good job, they did not protect overseas Chinese in a timely manner.
However, what did some people do? Mouhui said that he was a Japanese slave. Some Hong Kong people insisted on being British slaves, wanted to be British slaves, and wanted to rebel. Britain was gone. Why is this? Some Polish people wanted to be American slaves. China is involved in the South China Sea. American godfather, send an aircraft carrier. Where is the blood inheritance of the blood that is thicker than water, and the roots are connected to the roots?
It is precisely because of this little bit that has not been done well, and the accumulation of time has led to so many evil people.
"Mr. Zheng, let me tell you."
A big slap came over.
"I am willing to report all the situation in Xixia to Mr. Zheng."
Another big slap slapped over.
Wu Hao was still saying that it would not be possible if he didn't say it, even if he slapped his teeth, he would say it, otherwise his life would be worrying.
Zheng Lang stopped giving him a chance to speak, and wanted to get information. How many Xixia generals were arrested in this battle, and it was not missing the information Wu Hao took out, and shouted: "Drag him out."
He himself also walked out and came to the street, gave a great gift to the onlookers, and said sincerely: "My fellow villagers, I did not do this battle well, which forced all fellow villagers to fight bloody battles, resulting in many fellow villagers' deaths in battle. I apologize to you here."
It doesn't work to comfort money and silk, and I have already given a lot of money and materials, but this alone is not enough, so I have to find a scapegoat.
He said slowly: "Although I made a mistake in this battle, it was quite unreasonable for the enemy to divide the troops south. The reason for this is this person. Wu Hao bewitched Yuan Hao's thieves sent troops to attack Weizhou City, including the rebellion in the rear, which was also the person who provoked it."
It has nothing to do with me, if you want to blame Wu Hao, blame him.
Only by pushing the responsibility cleanly can the depressed people gather the hearts of the people. He also said, "I will take this person to the gate of the north city and let you decide what to do with him."
Let Wu Hao become a scapegoat.
The boy was crazy and saw that he had no chance of life, so he became intimidated and shouted: "You dare, I am my beloved minister under my lord. If you dare to touch me, my lord will also rush the army south. This time, my lord will prepare and will inevitably defeat the Song army. At that time, you will only face the fate of massacre of the city."
He was seeking death by himself, and many people who had lost their relatives were so angry that they began to throw bricks and stones at him regardless of whether they had arrived at the North City Gate.
He was hit hard and bleeding and was taken to the gate of the north city.
Zheng Lang left, and then saw countless people rushing over, and the soldiers were squeezed out by the people. From time to time, Wu Hao's hoarse screams came from inside, and the screams gradually subsided. After a while, the crowd finally dispersed in tears and laughter, but his mouth was covered with blood. Yin Zhu and Han Qi looked at the field curiously...
Bent over and vomited.
Zheng Lang was still smart, so he didn't turn around and said to the Yachao: "Drop the thief's corpse outside the city and feed it to the wild dog!"
