Chapter 1102 Two memorials
"this……"
Looking at the memorial handed over by the people around him, even Li Kun was extremely surprised. But he immediately remembered that Qiu Yan had prepared to place the tribes before the decisive battle in the northern border, and the thought in his heart calmed down again.
But it is inevitable that there are more and more concerns. Xu Yingyi did not start to guide the emperor's mind today, but this anti-military remark turned into an introduction, completely igniting Li Kun's concerns.
But on the other hand, in the face of this situation, Qiu Yan did not mean to restrain himself, but instead showed his own perfect side. This opposite way also achieved unexpected results.
When the emperor was very concerned about a person, he did not dare to act rashly. The reason was also very simple. Besides, Li Kun was not a foolish lord, and he also knew where Qiu Yan's ambition was. Even if he had other ideas based on his power instinct, he was shocked by the memorial handed over by Qiu Yan, and he woke up. Then he opened the memorial, glanced at it, and then was stunned, and then looked solemn.
"This...all the records above are true?"
Li Kun originally wanted to take a rough look and then let Qiu Yan take charge of the matter. In his opinion, since this incident was caused by Xu Yingyi and others, he wanted to cause trouble to the east and let Qiu Yan take over the hot potato. As a result, Qiu Yan prepared a note in advance. That was to talk about this matter, and he must have been prepared. In this way, the final result is really hard to say.
However, Li Kun did not think that Qiu Yan had any other ways besides using eloquence to surrender. However, looking at the memorial in his hand, he realized that Qiu Yan was not aimless. It is very likely that he had been thinking about these methods for a long time. At the same time, the content of the memorial also shocked him, and his concern for Qiu Yan was suddenly increased to the extreme. I want to know where the source of the news was.
This also made Li Kun curious about another memorial in Qiu Yan's hand.
On the other hand, the civil and military books in the palace also had similar thoughts to the emperor, but now when they saw the emperor's reaction, they were all confused and were particularly curious about what was recorded in the memorial.
Under the doubts of everyone, the emperor spoke again: "Where did you get the information on this memorial, Qiu Qing?"
"This is not a secret," Qiu Yan responded leisurely. "I am in charge of the Ministry of War. This past document is one of the sources of information, not to mention that when mobilizing resources, I will contact merchants and families along the way. From their mouths and letters, there is also information revealed, but this information is scattered and trivial content, and it must be confirmed and reorganized to reveal a deeper secret."
"So that's it," Li Kun frowned slightly when he heard this. "If Qiu Qing could teach the skills of the military officials or even generals in the army, he could be worth thousands of scouts, and even more than that. No, it was not good. If he revealed too much, he would let the idle person listen. On the contrary, it would be impossible to spread it. This would be equivalent to adding the dynasty to the dynasty..."
As the emperor thought about it, he was in a state of confusion, but the more he did this, the more curious the content of the memorials in his hand, making all the civil and military officials in the court waited for it.
Qiu Yan said, "Your Majesty, these methods of me are not considered profound. As long as people in this world have the intention, they can summarize them. Moreover, they are included in the General Department of the Martial Classics written by me. These are just small techniques, which can change small trends, but cannot reverse the general trend. Since ancient times, those who win others for the country have prospered, and those who lose others collapse. It is not something that can affect one or two small techniques."
This sentence has become a bit of an educational idea of the emperor, but the ministers present did not show much surprise. You should know that the power and status of scholars and officials in Darui were very high. There were many people who scolded the emperor in person. It was common for the emperor to be disgusted with nothing. Qiu Yan's words were nothing.
Haven't you seen that the former priest Ma Yang is now living in the cellar, and he is openly compiling Tongjian. The banner of this is to let the future royal family learn from history. The potential meaning is to specially compile a history book for the royal family to show, educating the royal family's children to be emperors and what should they pay attention to.
Such a tone can be said to be a great exaggeration, but in the future, this book will definitely be a humanitarian book, and the royal family must also respectfully include it as the foundation of inheritance.
From this we can also see that the status and personality of this scholar-official official are actually not much different from that of the emperor.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to ask, what is written in this Secret Qiu's memorial?" It was not the one who spoke from the several ministers, but the old minister who was not young last year. He said boldly, but his tone was full of urging.
Li Kun didn't care and said, "The list of this compromise is a list, most of which are the families of the thief. They have detailed the number of families in their family, their parents, their wives and children's surnames, their characteristics, etc. In addition, there are also merchants who have always had the same information with the thief in our Darui territory, roughly listing the list of materials and equipment they provide to the anti-military army."
As soon as these words came out, the palace was quiet at first, and then there were sounds of gasping in the air.
Of course they understand that the power of such a list is probably no less than 30,000 elite soldiers!
At the same time, the civil and military officials also understood why the emperor's expression changed significantly after reading the memorial. After all, the information represented behind this was too terrifying. Even the ministers felt a chill in their hearts and surging in their hearts.
Li Kun said again: "In addition, Qiu Qing also suggested that when recruiting peace, the rebels would move their families to Guanzhong, and then be at ease to be officials everywhere. After staying for a long time, they could prove their loyalty to the state and live in peace before they could be transferred again."
To put it bluntly, it is actually to take hostages and let Tiangang and Earth Demons accept the recruitment and be able to throw themselves into the rat and be restrained.
But immediately some ministers expressed dissatisfaction-
Then he saw a censor come out and said, "My great aid is the right country, and the world is upright. We should govern the world with benevolence and virtue. We are the rebels. As long as we receive peace and comfort, as long as we see Your Majesty be virtuous, we will naturally return to our hearts. How can we follow the actions of the Legalists? We must know that harsh policies are more powerful than tigers!"
After saying this, many officials at the forefront looked slightly moved, and several of them showed anger.
In the era of the nations, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and later Emperor Da Yanwu respected Confucianism alone. Confucianism became a prominent orthodox scholar and abolished all schools of thought. However, how could such ideas be easily cut off? Most of the past dynasties were Confucianism outside and law inside. The inheritance of this Legalism has never been cut off. You also have many successors in Darui's court.
Not to mention the distant future, the former prime minister Han Yi was the one from the Legalists who had given guidance to Qiu Yan. His son Han Bian hid in the Hanlin Academy and had plans. He had been safe for several years after being destroyed by Qiu Yan. What he learned was also the Legalists' art.
This censor's words offended many people, but of course no one came out to refute it at this time, but it depends on how Qiu Yan responded, because they also realized that the censor's righteousness was actually the old party and the subordinate of Xu Yingyi.
The situation is gradually becoming clearer, and Xu Yingyi and others' plans seem foolproof, but the emperor's words just now and Qiu Yan's memorial may have a reversed situation.
Qiu Yan was not in a hurry and said, "The key to governance is to use people first, and to know the way of people, which is difficult for sages. The thief rebelled first, and was already dirty, and they were not from orthodox origins. People in the court could not know the root of their roots. What's wrong with how much precautions were? Xu Xueshu said just now that it should not shed blood if he can resolve disputes peacefully. Since this is the case, as long as you pay a little attention, you can let those who are recruited live in peace and avoid bleeding again. Why should Lord Yang stop it?"
Lord Yang refers to the censor who jumped out. As for Xu Xueshi, he is talking about Xu Yingyi.
Moreover, Qiu Yan said that even sages think it is not easy to know people, let alone others?
At this point, the situation was clear, and the civil and military officials in the palace also roughly understood the result - it was promised that Qiu Yan would still be allowed to go, but the final recruitment conditions were combined with the many leaders of the rebels to hand over their families as hostages to show sincerity. If they were unwilling, Qiu Yan could argue that accepting recruitment was a rebuttal of the rebels, in order to delay time.
At the same time, merchants who had funded the rebels along the way were likely to be settled by the autumn after Qiu Yan went to the east.
"This series of scattered and beaten battles is indeed brilliant," even Xu Yingyi couldn't help but admire Qiu Yan's response, but he also knew that this was not enough to change his layout. "It's a pity that putting forward such strict conditions can make those thieves naturally refuse. At that time, a title that is hard to surrender will fall on Qiu Yan's head!"
He was thinking that Emperor Li Kun had probably accepted Qiu Yan's proposal. He was not unaware of the risks, but what Qiu Yan said was true.
After all, whether to accept the invitation or not is affected by Qiu Yan's reputation, and no matter which choice it is, it is beneficial to the dynasty.
On the other hand, Qiu Yan raised another memorial in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have another memorial, which is of great importance. I cannot make a decision on my own and have not yet been fully confirmed. I didn't want to take it out now, but since I am going to go east to recruit surrender, I will give it to you first to avoid delays in the future."
"Oh?" Li Kun looked at the memorial and was curious, but now he was even more urgent, "Take it up."
After his subordinates handed over the memorial, Li Kun looked through a few pages and his face changed drastically.
Many civil and military ministers in front of His Excellency were also curious, and Xu Yingyi and Cai Que and others felt something was wrong from the beginning and were wary of this memorial. Now that they saw the emperor's expression, the feeling of something was even stronger.
Suddenly, Li Kun raised his head and glared at Xu Yingyi fiercely. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
