Chapter 663: Foolish Loyalty

At night, Qin Lang, who was temporarily grounded, paced left and right in the courtyard, sighing for a long time.

He seems to have been sold by the senior officials of the DPRK and China.

Although I don't know who is the mastermind, I dare to do this, which means that I have the tacit approval of the person at the top.

Walking on thin ice, he no longer dared to easily trust the senior officials of the DPRK and China, and even the deputy envoy Gao Tanglong had to remain vigilant.

When Cao Ei was re-recognized and awarded the title of prince, Gao Tanglong was the prince, and he was the head of the prince's retainers selected by Cao Pi.

Now that he is serving as a deputy envoy under the promotion of Cao Rong, I am afraid that the sudden appearance of these six princely seals will also be very suspicious of Gao Tanglong.

All important gifts are handled by themselves when they leave the capital, checked one by one, and only packed and sealed after confirming that they are correct.

Along the way, someone who can sneak things in...... Definitely not much.

I was angry in my heart, and it was not good to confront Gao Tanglong.

It turns out that Wu Zhen, Sima Yi, and Chen Qun can achieve a high status, and in the future, Gao Tanglong will not die young, and he will be able to reach the status of these people smoothly.

As for himself, he is just a clan general, and his actual military power is getting farther and farther away from him, and he will only serve as a protector and supervisor in the future. To hold this kind of position, you must have enough strong connections in the court, otherwise you will not be able to suppress people, and you will not be able to supervise the army.

offended Gao Tanglong, and his future path would definitely not go far.

There is no way, since the Wei army began to restructure, the domestic situation has become more and more chaotic and unclear; If it weren't for the strong enemy on the side, if it weren't for Jia Kui and Jia Mu's heads cutting off the retreat of most of the important ministers and old ministers, the ghost knows whether Sima Yi's military reform could be carried out smoothly.

Now everyone is enduring the loss of income when the military system is changed, and it is a nightmare to lose seventy or eighty percent of their income every year.

Compared with the decrease in income and the relative poverty of life, the fate of Wei after the fall of the State will be a little more miserable.

Just as Qin Lang sighed, the door here was slammed, and Qin Lang could only open the door in person.

I saw a dozen acquaintances standing outside the door, with five or six lanterns, and many of them were carrying food boxes in their hands or holding wine jars in their arms.

The leaders are Wei Ping and Hao Zhao, and in terms of appearance, Qin Lang and Wei Ping Meiyu are somewhat similar, both have boxy Chinese faces, which look resolute and heavy.

The things of the older generation have passed, and now it is just a reunion after a long absence.

Wei Ping smiled with his eyebrows: "Yuen Long, don't come to harm?" ”

"Boding...... Brother Boding? ”

Qin Lang's tongue curled slightly, and he suddenly remembered the name he had when he was a teenager, and couldn't help but shout out, reaching out and grabbing Wei Ping's hand, and the other hand was grabbed by Wei Xing, and this hand also reached in front of Hao Zhao: "Bo Dao is also here?" ”

Hao Zhao bowed slightly, and listened to Wei Ping say: "The generals of the defeated army such as us are all serving as attendants under the command of Duke Chen, in order to observe the military system of the Northern Mansion. Hearing that Yuen Long had committed an incident, we waited for the public to ask the public, and only with permission, did we come to meet Yuen Long, and the public also allocated six jars of rice wine for us to enjoy during the banquet! ”

"Yes, yes! Brother, please! ”

Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took a few steps back, and stretched out his right arm to lead the way.

On the other side, Tian Xin sat on the main throne casually, and six royal seals were placed in front of him, which was a set of seals for various places.

Gao Tanglong was hungry for an afternoon, and sat down with a careful entrance, seeing Tian Xin grabbing the heaviest six-pound gold seal in his hand, thinking of the death of King Sun Quan of Wu, Gao Tanglong felt that his scalp was a little itchy.

Probably worried about Tian Xincao's life, Gao Tanglong took out a silk book from his sleeve and held it in both hands: "Duke Xia, the foreign minister is ordered to send an envoy, and there are private affairs in addition to official affairs." ”

Tian Xin glanced at the silk book, and Lu Yan, who was beside him, walked over to catch it and handed it back.

This is a tightly sealed silk book, and Tian Xin carefully opened it so as not to damage it.

As soon as I looked at the beginning of the 'filial piety and kissing', I knew that it was Cao Pi's handwriting, in which Cao Pi regretted the killing of Xiahou Shang's concubine back then, and also felt sad and guilty for the death of his best friend Xiahou Shang.

He succeeded to the throne with ten sons and one daughter, although not as prolific as his father Cao Cao, but also proud of his brothers, can be described as a winner in life, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before his father's output exceeds his father's.

But after usurping the Han Dynasty, the children died of illness one after another, and there was no more output, not to mention, ten sons and one daughter now only have four older sons left.

He didn't know if this was the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven, or if there were people around him inside and outside the Yedu Palace. So he was very frightened, and vaguely advised Tian Xin to be careful of the people around him.

At the same time, with an apology to his best friend Xiahou Shang's family, he was ready to make Xiahou Shang's three daughters the lord of Wei, fearing that they would not be entrusted to anyone, and hoped that Tian Xin could take care of him on his behalf.

Even the dowry was there, and there was a promise not to use troops in the Hetao area.

Xiahou Shang's three daughters were posthumously crowned as the lords, which had no practical significance, and would only disgust the old man.

There is nothing to use in the Hetao area, and the Wei State is reforming the military system, just like a snake that has just molted, it is the weakest time. Therefore, Wei did not have the objective conditions for the use of troops abroad, and the Hetao was not its own vital area, so it would take it away without harming the fundamentals.

So it's good-sounding, it's flashy, superficial.

Speaking of which, Cao Pi is just using his own example to warn himself?

Tian Xin's eyebrows were solemn, his left hand was on the table, and his fingertips tapped the hardwood lacquered table back and forth, clanging.

No matter what Cao Pi has in mind, this concern is right.

In his own family, there must be many people who are disconnected from the imperial court, which is an inevitability.

After all, it is his own children, if he is confused and killed...... This is something that is not thought about on a daily basis, but is guarded against. But the defense is not thorough after all, as long as the people around him are still old people in Jiangdu, there is such a possibility.

But to change it rashly, wouldn't it give the court an alternative handle?

sacrificing children for a reason to counterattack the imperial court...... Although it is a good deal, I will definitely regret it later.

What's more, in this era, the importance of children is far less than that of parents and ancestors; This was an era when wives and children were killed to serve the monarch, and the country was seen as a good talk.

Their children are inseparable flesh and blood in their own eyes, but in today's universal concept, the child is reborn after it is gone, and the wife is gone and remarried...... Love, mercy, and the like have to be relegated.

Therefore, rational analysis cannot sacrifice one's own children.

Even if it was Cao Pi's calculation, he admitted it, he couldn't take this risk, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

What's more, the court can't be given a chance to do it.

The imperial court is a whole, there are all kinds of people in it, and if some radicals do it, they will definitely liquidate the entire imperial court, and even severely punish and implicate the royal family.

The first emperor had such a great kindness, how could he keep the lives of the first emperor's descendants.

Therefore, it is better to take strict precautions, because those radical and foolish officials have no way to do anything, and they have no way to do it. Many of these foolish loyalists are profit-seeking and deliberately think of themselves as foolish and self-deceiving, and they do not deserve mercy.

When you come out to be an official, it is true to get ahead, and it is true to be famous and glorify your ancestors.

It may be true that you can show your ambition and help the world, or it may be just talking.

The Truly Foolish ...... It is still possible for the officials and soldiers in the army, in the court like muddy waters, many people are halfway and defeated, how many are foolish and loyal?
