Ten refuses to defend without fighting1
For the court of the Great Song Dynasty, the homeless people gathered, rioted, rioted, even if it was a rebellion, it was easy to do no matter how big a thing was done, and it was still possible to recruit peace, but the only bottom line that could not be crossed was to be the king. Because it's a matter of the face of the court. Of course, if it is like Li Yuanhao of Western Xia who finally became a climate, it is another matter to become a country of its own, but in addition, anyone who is called a king, such as Wang Shun, Li Xiaobo, Fang La, Zhong Xiang, Yang Mo, etc., is definitely an unforgivable sin.
Therefore, the news that Zhong Ziang was going to be the king reached Lin'an with Yang Yan's recital, and sure enough, the entire court stood up like a frying pot, and suddenly boiled. Officials at all levels, large and small, wrote to Zhao one after another, demanding that the imperial court use troops as soon as possible to quell the Manichaean rebellion. Yang Yan, as the chief general of the rebellion, was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and with the deliberate guidance of others, it didn't take a few days to point all the fingers at Yang Yan alone.
Some ministers thought that Yang Yan had been in Guangnan for several months and did not dare to fight with the rebellious army, but that he was passively slacking off the war and delaying the morale of the army, and that the imperial court should immediately issue an order to order Yang Yan to immediately send troops, and to recover the lost territory within a time limit and to quell the rebellious army, otherwise he should be punished for slowing down the army
Some ministers thought that Yang Yan was as afraid of chaos as a tiger and timid as a mouse in Guangnan, and because he saw the strength of the Manichaean army, he did not dare to fight with him, and suggested that the imperial court should immediately choose another capable general to replace Yang Yan to quell the rebellion in Guangnan.
There are also ministers who believe that Yang Yan's departure from Guangnan not only cannot quickly quell the chaos, but on the contrary, it makes the arrogance of the rebellious army more and more arrogant, so that the thief leader Zhong Ziang established himself as the king, and Yang Yan could not escape his correction, and advocated that Yang Yan be taken down for punishment and punished.
Although these remarks are a bit excessive, there is still some truth after all, but there are also some ministers who are completely making up for the wind and catching shadows, making things out of nothing, some say that Yang Yan is an unkind official, whipping the soldiers, and many soldiers in the army were killed by him; Some say that he is a soldier of rations, fills his own pockets, and has a big cart to deliver money to Lin'an's house every month; Some say that he is corrupt and perverts the law, preys on the people, and embezzles countless money; It is also said that he is lascivious and lustful, robbed countless folk girls in Quang Nam, and as for other inexplicable crimes such as disrespecting the gods, hurting and indoctrination, arrogance, stealing the world and bullying the people, etc., there are countless others.
In less than three days, Zhao? There are more than 100 chapters about Yang Yan on the bookcase. Most of them are impeachment, and some are recitals to defend Yang Yan, but this category is a minority. However, although there are many officials who have spoken at present, they are only some middle- and lower-level officials who have spoken, and high-ranking officials such as squires, scholars, and scholars are still watching at this time, and are trying to figure out the opinions of the emperor and the ruling ministers, so as not to make the wrong statement and stand on the wrong side at this time.
Because before the expedition, Zhao? knew Yang Yan's military arrangements clearly, so he could still calm down at the beginning, but as the voices against Yang Yan became louder and louder, the officials who wrote became more and more interesting, Zhao? I also began to be a little hesitant, and finally decided to recruit the ruling minister to discuss the matter of Quang Nam.
As a result, among the six ruling ministers, Yu Yunwen and Han Yanzhi naturally insisted on supporting Yang Yan, while Long Dayuan and Shi Hao strongly advocated opposition.
Shi Hao thought that Yang Yan had been in Guangnan for three months, but he had not made an inch, and only then was Manichaeism so arrogant that Zhong Ziang established himself as king, which was entirely the result of Yang Yan's passive sabotage.
Long Dayuan even proposed that even if Yang Yan was not held responsible, he was no longer suitable to preside over the matter of pacifying the enemy, and he should immediately replace Yang Yan with someone else, in charge of the matter of quelling the chaos in Guangnan. Or order Yang Yan to fight immediately, and he must win.
Yu Yunwen believes that Yang Yan has only been in Guangnan for three months, and it is a completely correct strategy not to rush for success, but to wait for the opportunity in the persistence, not to mention that in the past three months, Guangnan has not lost a place, which is much better than Fan Chengda's control of Guangnan, and it is understandable that the officials of Lin'an do not understand the inside situation, and it is understandable that they speak indiscriminately, but the imperial court and Zhongshu Province must not mess with themselves at this time, and they should trust and support Yang Yan.
And Han Yanzhi even cited the example of Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan during the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi refused to defend without fighting when he was based on the enemy, and finally dragged Zhuge Liang to death in Wuzhangyuan, to show that Yang Yan's approach was completely in line with the way of using troops.
The two sides insisted on each other in the court, refused to give in to each other, and argued for a day, but no one could convince anyone. The other two ruling ministers, Liang Kejia and Hong Shi, allowed them to fight for each other at this time, and always kept silent and remained neutral.
As a result, from the sunrise in the morning to the red sunset, several ruling ministers fought for dry mouths and exhausted on the Golden Palace, but they did not study a single reason. Zhao? In desperation, I had to announce that we would discuss here today, and everyone would go back to rest, and please be early tomorrow, and then continue to discuss.
Zhao? I just feel distraught and restless, and I just want to go back and rest early. I just went back to the palace and saw the crown prince Zhao? is sitting here with Queen Xie, also with a sad face, sighing.
It turned out that Empress Xie saw that the crown prince and Concubine Li had been married for several years, and she had never given birth. After agreeing, he rewarded a personal palace maid surnamed Huang to the prince as a side concubine, which was also a kindness from Queen Xie, hoping that the prince would have a few more side concubines, so that he could give birth to a man and a half girl as soon as possible, and also continue to pass on the incense for the royal family. Zhao? has a cowardly personality and can't compete with Concubine Li, so she had to run to the palace to find Queen Xie to complain.
Zhao? For the sake of Guangnan's affairs, it was originally anxious that I listened to Zhao? The words added fuel to the fire, and suddenly poured all the anger on Zhao? body, pointing at Zhao? He said sharply: "You useless thing, I work hard day and night, how many military affairs have to be dealt with, and you can't even discipline a single woman, you are so cowardly, how will you rule the world in the future, after a hundred years, this great Song Dynasty is not going to be lost in your hands." ”
Zhao? Since birth, Zhao? He has always spoken to him with a pleasant face, even if he occasionally reproaches him, he has never spoken so loudly as he does now, Zhao? Hearing this, he was ashamed, shocked, and afraid, his health was not good, and he was angry and anxious at this time, and he didn't come up in one breath, and he fainted.
Zhao? and Queen Xie were shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to rescue them, and called someone to send the imperial doctor to take the pulse and heal. The eunuchs and palace maids were in a hurry, putting Zhao? Lifted to the bed and lay down, Empress Xie sat at the head of the bed, Zhao? At this time, I also regretted that I was in a hurry and said something serious, and I couldn't help but hate and regret it. At this moment, another eunuch came in and reported: "Princess Yong'an asks to see the official." ”
Zhao? He smiled bitterly and said, "Call her in." ”
Zhao Yueru came in, and when she saw such a scene, she was also startled, and hurriedly gave it to Zhao? After seeing the ceremony, he came to the bedside and asked Queen Xie, "Sage, what's wrong with the third brother?" ”
Queen Xie naturally can't say that the crown prince was Zhao? Frightened, he had to smile bitterly and didn't speak. At this time, the imperial doctor arrived and was busy with Zhao? Check the pulse, and after a while, the imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, sage, the prince is just impatient and angry, so he fainted, it's not a big deal, Weichen prescribed a few pairs of medicine to eat, and he only needs to rest for a few days." The medicine was sent by Weichen every day, but he must not let the prince get angry in the future. So saying, he got up and went to the table to prescribe the medicine.
At this time, Zhao? also slowly woke up, Zhao?, Queen Xie, Zhao Yueru was relieved when she saw it. After the imperial doctor left, Zhao Yueru asked again: "Guanjia, what's going on, how could the third brother faint?"
Zhao? He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Concubine Li made trouble in the East Palace again, so the prince came to the palace to complain to the sage, and I was worried about the things in the court recently, so I said a few words to him, and when he said a little heavily, he fainted all of a sudden." ”
Queen Xie said: "Official, it's late, the prince has just woken up, and his body is still weak, I'm afraid that he can't stand the toss, and the concubine also ordered someone to prepare the room, so leave the prince to rest in the palace tonight." ”
Zhao? nodded, knowing that Empress Xie was afraid that the prince would be angry with Concubine Li after he went back, and said, "You can arrange it." ”
Empress Xie beckoned the palace maids, and the eunuchs picked up the soft bed and sent Zhao? Carry it to rest. Zhao? Only then did she ask Zhao Yueru, "Liuniang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhao Yueru said: "There is something, Jiuniang has a letter to ask me to pass it on to the official family." As he spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Zhao.
Zhao? opened the letterhead, and after reading it, he was silent, it turned out that after Yang Yan's recital was issued, Zhao Qianru was afraid of Zhao first? What are the swayers, I deliberately wrote a letter by myself, explaining in detail the current situation in Guangnan, and asked Zhao Yueru to have a chance to be in Zhao? There is a lot of persuasion in front of you. And Zhao Yueru also knew what had happened in the court in the past few days, so she came to see Zhao Yu, and she happened to meet the prince.
Zhao? He put the letter back in the envelope and said with a sigh: "I also know that Yang Yan is waiting for the opportunity to stick to the war now, but you also know the situation in the imperial court in the past few days, there are so many officials who are against Yang Yan, but after all, I am really a little embarrassed." ”
