Chapter 12 Since I have been ordered by the heavens, I shall speak and follow the law
Depending on where people are, the intensity of their speech is also different.
For example, in an ordinary family, those who don't love money and set small goals, even just a casual sentence can be interpreted in eighteen ways.
Another example is the beggar on the roadside. Even if he shouts to the sky three times that the sky is dead, no one will think that he is capable of doing anything like Huang Tiandang.
Another example is that Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, spoke with extraordinary force. Especially because of the power he had developed after being the emperor for decades in his previous life, Zhao Huan spoke with such force that it was like a god farting.
However, the scholar-bureaucrats in Zhao and Song Dynasties were so spoiled, or in other words, these people had not been severely beaten by the Meng Yuan Dynasty and others, let alone the severe beatings of the Jiannu Literary Prison, so they were very courageous.
His behavior is also very rough.
So they dared to confront the emperor. In the past, Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty choked Li Er's bird to death. Later, Kou Zhun of this dynasty tore Emperor Taizong's sleeves in public. Bao Zheng sprayed Emperor Renzong with spittle in his face, and then returned the favor.
There are gentlemen from Donglin who ruined the Ming Dynasty.
Now Wang Yu was ready to criticize Zhao Huan: "Think twice, officials! In ancient times, when they killed thieves and were victorious in battle, they would lay out their corpses. They would seal the land and build a mound to serve as a temple. This was not only to show off their martial arts, but also to use the temple as a place to hide corpses."
Now that the officials have defeated the Jin army, even if they do not release the soldiers to show their kindness, they should not build a palace to display the corpses. Don't you hear that God has the virtue of a good life?"
Zhao Huan blinked and looked at the impassioned Wang Shizhong with a confused expression.
Release the soldiers and surrender them? Wait until they return to regroup and fight again?
God has the virtue of good life? Are you insinuating that I, the emperor, have a bad outlook on life and that he is also immoral in the five elements?
It’s his mother’s fault!
"Last time, it was Wang Aiqing who advised me that the two countries were at war, so why not kill them?"
Zhao Huan couldn't help but rub his forehead and sighed: "Didn't I ask you to go back and study hard? Why are you still mourning and barking in the court?"
Zhao Huan had no intention of saving face for Wang Yu, who was the Minister of Rites of the dynasty and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and also served as the banquet attendant at the Youying Hall. Zhao Huan directly mocked: "There is no way for the whole world to be considered a royal land."
Learn to understand, now you tell me that there is a god and a good life?"
After glancing at the guards in front of the palace, Zhao Huan simply ordered: "Whoever comes, give Wang Yu to me and send him out, and order him to study behind closed doors and think about his mistakes. He is not allowed to go out without an edict."
After the ashen-faced Wang Yu was forked out, Zhao Huan simply turned his attention to Bai Shizhong: "Prime Minister Bai, please explain to me why you gave He the formation map? Do you know the soldiers?"
Anyway, the table has been overturned, and Wanyan Zongwang is about to withdraw his troops, Zhao Huan no longer cares about overturning the table more thoroughly——
The prime minister Bai Shizhong was Zhao Jixiang's loyal dog. He did everything according to Cai Jing's will. He was not on the same page as Zhao Huan, the new emperor. If Zhao Huan wanted to lead his troops to conquer, he would leave such Zhao Jixiang behind.
If his confidants are in Bianjing, wouldn’t it be a disaster?
Bai Shizhong was also a little dumbfounded, and then he hated Wang Yu who had been forked out: Why are you so good at opposing the officials? If the officials want to build the Jingguan, let him build it. Bianjing City is not in need now.
A Beijing temple to suppress Feng Shui!
With a roll of his eyes, Bai Shizhong bowed and said: "I'm telling the officials that I really don't know how to fight. However, I also thought about the more than 30,000 people who were suffering outside the city, and I did something stupid in a moment of panic.
I know my crime, accept the punishment, and hope that the officials will be merciful!"
After Bai Shizhong gave in quickly and took the blame directly, Zhao Huan found it difficult to deal with it——
Is it possible that Bai Shizhong was really knocked to death on the Panlong Pillar of Zichen Palace?
Zhao Huan had this idea in mind. After all, it would be okay if Bai Shizhong died, but since he was there in the name of sharing the worries of the official family, it was really not easy to kill him directly.
"I, Li Ruobing, want to impeach the Grand Prime Minister Bai Shizhong because he is cowardly and incompetent. He is not the king's assistant. Please make a clear decision from the officials."
Just when Zhao Huan was in trouble, Li Ruobing handed the knife directly to Zhao Huan's hand: "The prime minister is to assist the emperor at the top, regulate yin and yang, follow the four seasons, and follow the suitability of all things.
To be close to the people, and to enable ministers and officials to fulfill their respective duties.
The imperial court usually maintained its ministers with high titles and generous salaries, so that the generals could be used when needed. Today, although the middle-level scholars may not know how to fight, given their titles, it is their duty to guide and control the officers and soldiers to fight against the enemy.
But when the Jin soldiers came, they were timid from the enemy first, shirk responsibility from behind, and made remarks that disturbed the morale of the troops. I thought that I should dismiss them from their posts."
As soon as Li Ruobing's words fell, Li Gang added the words at the right time: "I told the officials that the Jin soldiers were coming to attack. There was a saying in Shi Zhong: How can we defend the capital? I don't think the world and the earth can be like the capital.
What are you going to do with the ancestral temple, the community, the hundreds of officials, and the people? If you can lead the soldiers to comfort the people and stick to it, is there any reason why it cannot be defended?
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, the wise officers and warriors, and the concerted efforts of all the officers and soldiers, Wanyan Zongwang's troops have suffered heavy losses and will retreat soon. I don't know what to say at this time."
"Resign."
Taking the knife handed over by Li Ruobing and Li Gang, Zhao Huan directly stabbed Bai Shizhong with the knife: "Shizhong is a coward and incompetent, and failed to fulfill his duty as a minister, so he still responded like Wang Yu
Let’s have a good time at home and study.”
After Bai Shizhong was also taken out by the warriors of the Palace Front Division, Zhao Huan's lips raised a smile again: "I want to build a palace with 20,000 thieves in the capital. Among you, who is in favor? Who is against?"
Then Zhao Huan looked at Li Ruobing with thick eyebrows and big eyes in confusion and stabbed him in the back: "I object, I object."
Not feeling at all that he had stabbed the official in the back, Li Ruobing instead bowed solemnly and said: "The official cut off his hair on the city wall to express his oath. The ministers also heard about it, and they killed more than 20,000 gold thieves.
The construction of Jingguan was originally the proper intention.
However, this place is very close to Taiyuan. It would be better to wait for the siege of Taiyuan and send the twenty thousand thieves to build a straight road. Is it? Yes? Yes?"
After spending a long time, Li Ruobing couldn't think of a more appropriate and nice-sounding word.
This cannot be blamed on Li Ruobing, a doctor of Taixue. The Minister of Civil Affairs is uneducated. After all, he also studied in Taixue, and he is a doctor of Taixue who was a Jinshi. In any case, it is impossible to say that he is uneducated.
Get involved.
But something like this, which directly drags more than 20,000 people to work as coolies, is something that is very easy to talk about but not easy to hear. Li Ruobing was at a loss for words for a while.
"What is it?"
Zhao Huan glanced at Li Ruobing, who was speechless, and said directly: "Since I have been ordered by God, I should follow my words. Since I said I want to avenge the blood and hatred of the people, I must avenge the blood and hatred of the people. What is straight and not straight?
, just catch it later.
Looking back, I wrote down that there were more than 20,000 civilian casualties outside the city, and the gold thieves had to pay for their lives with 200,000 people. This time, more than 20,000 gold thieves were captured, and after all of them were built in the capital, there was still 180,000 left. When will it be enough?
Let’s wait and see when we can talk about other things.”
Li Ruobing simply stood back in the courtroom.
What the hell are you talking about? If you continue to persuade me, you will become a villain who traps the king into injustice. What else is there to say?
Besides, if the officials like to build the capital, let them build it. What is going on with me as the official minister? I have to worry about it, so I don't want to make the officials unhappy at this time.
The most important thing is that as long as the officials can win battles one after another, the people's hearts will be firmly in the hands of the officials, and I, the official minister, will be able to sit more firmly without having to worry about the emperor coming back to reinstate the government.
.
As soon as Li Ruobing turned off the fire, the main fighting faction headed by Li Gang also turned off - he himself wanted to build all the Jin soldiers into Jingguan. Since the officials were not willing to use them as coolies, they should use them as building materials.
As for the peace negotiators, they were already on tenterhooks these days, and now they had no time to jump out and argue with Zhao Huan.
It's more of a fence-sitter...
The most common people in the court of the Song Dynasty were those who sat on the fence. For these people, as long as the person sitting on the throne was surnamed Zhao, and the rest could handle the government affairs and not delay everyone singing, dancing and having a barbecue, then he was willing to build the capital.
Just let him build it.
Not to mention that the fence-sitters themselves are driven by the wind. Now that the voice of the war-fighting faction is loud in the court, these fence-sitters will naturally speak to the war-fighters.
…
There is something special about Jingguan.
You can't just throw those corpses together and pile them into a mound and say this thing is Jingguan.
Jingguan: Jing refers to a high hill; Guan refers to a Que type, meaning that a gate with two views is called a Que.
In other words, if you want to build a qualified Jingguan, the first thing is the height. Can a height of three to five meters be considered high? The second thing is that the Jingguan thing is in the shape of a palace and has certain standards. It must be both
It is built on the road for people to watch, and it cannot be built randomly. It must be operated according to etiquette.
Fortunately, the Song Dynasty lacked everything except scholars. If you just search around the court, you can find a bunch of people who understand this stuff, and you can just let them toss it around.
Zhao Huan is now more concerned about the people who have been rescued.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not very effective, they saved seven or eight thousand people while also losing seven or eight thousand themselves. If you calculate it purely based on numbers, it is almost a loss-making business, but this kind of thing cannot be purely based on numbers.
to calculate.
Just like there will always be camouflage green people in future generations who dare to carry sandbags and block floods with their bodies.
The rabbits who grow flowers are accustomed to this, and may even think that it is a matter of course. However, if we go to a country where shootings happen every day and Comrade Chuan Jianguo works part-time as a crosstalk actor, they do not bring tools for disaster relief, they bring guns...
Therefore, in Zhao Huan's view, even if seven or eight thousand people are brought in, as long as one common person can be saved, it is not a loss!
Of course, the most important thing is that almost all of the seven or eight thousand people who were rescued had relatives who died in the hands of Jin Bing. As long as there is a little guidance later, the young and strong among these seven or eight thousand people will be the best.
It is also the most loyal source of troops.
Just like the Yulin orphan of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty.
