Chapter 156: Emperor Xuanwu releases Chen Qingzhi
"Your Majesty, Chen Qingzhi is not to be afraid! He's just a boasted celebrity! Xiao Baochun said.
"A bragged celebrity, really? Why don't I believe it? Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke was skeptical.
"Don't believe me? You're thinking too much! Your Majesty! How could it be? Chen Qingzhi was so strong that he killed 300,000 people of the Wei army! Although Yuan Cheng has taken the lead! Yuan Xun said.
"Didn't Xiao Baochun investigate? It's just a loss of 30,000 people! How can it be considered a very large loss? Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said.
"Although Chen Qingzhi did not annihilate 300,000 people, he also defeated 300,000 people! He had only 7,000 men! It's not 70,000! Yuan Cheng said.
"Chen Qingzhi has 70,000 people. It's just that Xiao Yan exaggerated his military exploits! Xiao Baochun said.
"Really? Does Xiao Yan have so many troops? 70,000 people? Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke asked.
"Yes, Chen Qingzhi originally had the right to recruit troops privately. So his number is seventy thousand. Therefore, Chen Qingzhi's military talent is quite mediocre! There is nothing to say! Xiao Baochun said.
"Really? No. Chen Qingzhi only has 7,000 people, not nonsense! Wechen has exact information! Yuan Cheng said.
"You're still talking nonsense! I don't believe it anyway! You've taken the plunge many times! won the war, and often exaggerated the strength of the Liang State. lost the battle, and often said that the strength of the Liang State was very small! Xiao Baochun said.
"It turns out that the king of Ren City loves to deceive me so much! I don't even know! Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said.
He thought to himself: What to do? Now the two factions are at loggerheads! Who should I listen to?
"Really, fake?" Eunuch Xiao Linzi said.
He recalls the past:
"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that Shang Ying is a mean and unkind person?" The crown prince Zhu Yi asked.
"Shang Ying is so cruel, he stipulates the extermination of the clan at every turn, how can such a law be?" Prince Xiao Tong said.
"Your Highness, it is indeed benevolent and righteous! This is also the reason for the death of the second Qin Dynasty. Zhu Yi said.
"Master, now our Liang Kingdom also needs to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness." Xiao Tong said.
Zhu Yi thought to himself: The crown prince Xiao Tong has a cowardly personality, if he can be the emperor as the emperor, I can control the government. Hahaha......
Xiao Tong took the book and asked, "Master, why does everyone in the world think that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is a generation of Ming monarchs?" Hongu doesn't see it that way. This palace felt that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not have Confucian etiquette, righteousness and shame, and could actually say in front of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, that if my father was cooked to death (a punishment in ancient times, boiled to death in a cauldron), let me also get a piece of the meat soup. Such a person can actually reign over the world. It's really a bad day! ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not right for you to think so. If this is the case, His Highness will not be able to reign over the world. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could take over the world in four years with a cloth cloth and a three-foot sword in his hand. Although he has no morals, the way of employing people is also something His Highness needs to learn. Zhu Yi said.
"This palace doesn't feel so, and this palace feels that as a monarch, you need to lead by example. It can't be so. If everyone in the world is so incorruptible and shameless. Isn't that moral? Xiao Tong said.
"Your Highness, you are still young. You don't understand that if everything in the world can be solved by morality, then there will not be so many unjust, false and wrongful cases. Zhu Yi said worriedly.
"Really? Father, didn't he teach his sons the need to be humble to others? Everyone in the world will support him because his father is a monarch who leads by example! Prince Xiao Tong was puzzled.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. You're thinking too simply. His Majesty has always been duplicitous. That's what he said. But that's not what he did. Look at Mr. Fan Jin, he has both ability and political integrity, talent and appearance, but His Majesty is also trying his best to suppress him. Do you know why? Zhu Yi asked.
Xiao Tong put down the "Historical Records" and picked up a copy of "The Theory of Divine Annihilation", and he turned one of the pages.
Zhu Yi was so frightened that he immediately said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you read such an evil book?" ”
"Master. It's not that the main palace wants to read evil books. Rather, this book is not an evil book. Mr. Fan Zhen is dedicated to the sake of the people, but it is only because he opposes Buddhism. Why did his father be so unfair to him? Prince Xiao Tong scolded.
"Your Highness. You're wrong. These words of yours must not be heard by Your Majesty. Otherwise, your position as crown prince may not be guaranteed. Zhu Yi said worriedly.
"It's not that serious. Zi said: The young and the old are orderly. How could His Majesty risk the disapproval of the world and depose the crown prince of the palace? Prince Xiao Tong said confidently.
Zhu Yi thought to himself: Come on. Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a stupid hat? So confident. If there was no Ding Guifei to escort him, he could die ten thousand times.
"That's hard to say. Your Majesty is not such a rigid person. If he has other sons, he is better than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your position will also be in jeopardy. In all dynasties, there are countless examples of abolition of the long and the young. Zhu Yi said worriedly.
"That's right. Thank you, Master, for reminding me. The crown prince Xiao Tongmu said.
He thought to himself: As long as this palace has good thoughts, it will definitely allow the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment.
So, what was the situation on the Northern Wei side?
At this time, in the Taiqing Palace in Luoyang, Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke looked at the roster of officials from all over the country, and said to Yuan Cheng, the king of Rencheng: "King Rencheng." Who do you think can take on this important task? ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks Yuan Xian can. Be steady. Moreover, it is a royal clan. I will definitely be able to complete the task successfully. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said.
"Aiqing, I have already read the list of these local families. The Yuan Xun you are talking about is indeed a talent. However, he was originally the clan of our Great Wei Kingdom. Clan members shouldn't always take credit. Others should be given more opportunities. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said.
Yuan Cheng thought to himself: Your Majesty, this is on guard against the children of our Great Wei Kingdom!
"Aiqing. I looked at the list of so many people, and felt that Yuwen Luosheng, the third son of the Yuwen family in Wuchuan Town, was a talent. I heard that he is both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to live up to his mission. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke smiled.
Yuan Cheng looked at the ox horn bow in front of Emperor Xuanwu, the texture was very hard, and it looked like an infinitely powerful weapon.
"Your Majesty, Yuwen Luosheng is a flamboyant person, and he can't be of great use." Yuan Cheng said.
Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke thought to himself: Why did Yuan Cheng know so well about the civil and military officials of the Wei State? He was clearly in a clique.
Emperor Xuanwu did not cancel the decision to let Yuwen Luosheng envoy to the Rouran Khanate because of Yuan Cheng.
Rouran's Nagai Khan received the letter of state from Wei and said to the prime minister: "The people of Wei have decided to send Yuwen Luosheng to communicate with our Rouran Khanate. Do you know about this Yuwen Luosheng? ”
