Chapter 100: Self-interest and National Interest
Wei Zhen praised goodness, and said: "As Qing said, the Zhongshan matter is over Zhao." Then Zhongshan's matter is indeed lighter than Zhao. But now there are many rumors that there are profit-seeking businessmen who have set up some risk speculative companies in Sishang, and they have helped Zhongshan with money and firearms to seek huge profits. If the people's hearts seek profit, the world will be in chaos. ”
"Zhongshan is good at riding horses, and with the help of Mojia stirrups and iron swords, it is like a tiger with wings, and I am afraid that I can't defend it. The grandson of Leyang is seeking for Zhongshan, can he let Leyang deal with this matter? ”
"Those merchants who are plotting to make profits in Zhongshan in Sishang, can they ask the birds and shackles to make money, and let them confiscate the property of those merchants?"
Uncle acne thought to himself, your lord hasn't rested well in the past few days, and he is a little at a loss.
So he said with a small meaning: "The king is happy to be a sheep in Lingshou." Wei's Lingshou and Zhongshan's Lingshou, is there a difference between you and the Leyang family? ”
This goes straight to the core, under the feudal system, there are only feudal obligations to the monarch, not a progressive bureaucratic system under the direct jurisdiction, and semi-independent fiefs can get feudal obligations for the monarch themselves, and for the owner of the fief, it seems that there is little difference in who this feudal obligation is loyal to.
Uncle acne has his own selfishness, and the current situation, although Wei Zhen himself does not trust Wu Qi, but it is his uncle acne who bears the name of excluding Wu Qi. If Wei Zhen trusts Wu Qi, what is Wu Qi's talent, Wei Zhen doesn't know, so why can he squeeze Wu Qi away with his uncle's acne?
But Wei Zhen doesn't want to bear this reputation, so the responsibility has to be borne by Uncle Acne, who wants to take the opportunity to take the position.
Le Yang is not Wu Qi, but the experiences of Le Yang and Wu Qi are very similar.
In the case of insufficient talent for Wu Qi, Uncle Acne must use virtue to prove: leaving Wu Qi is a scourge, it is better to let him get out.
So he asked about Leyang.
Wei Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "Lingshou belongs to Wei and Zhongshan, and there are advantages and disadvantages to widows. Lingshou belongs to Wei and Zhongshan, and there are no pros and cons to Yu Le's. ”
Uncle Acne took the opportunity to say: "Le Chi is the grandson of Le Yang." Le Yang could eat his son's meat back then, because eating his son's meat might be exchanged for the position of Xiangguo and Shangqing. If the son is gone, he can regenerate. ”
"Now Leyang is nearly sixty years old, and it is difficult to have children. So, now let him kill his grandson, can the king make him the king, or give him the land of Zhongshan? ”
This was obviously impossible, and Wei Zhen itself excluded those scholars. Just like what Tian Zifang taught him back then, scholars can go, but the clansmen of their own family cannot do without fiefdoms. The scholars may belong to Wei today and Chu tomorrow, but the people of their own clan can at least be trusted.
Le Yang is very similar to Wu Qi. One kills his wife and begs for a general, one eats his son for a general, one has great merit trapped in the West River, and the other has the labor to destroy the country and is sealed in Lingshou only for the doctor......
Uncle Acne used the matter of Leyang again, insinuating Wu Qi, telling Wei Zheng that it was right for him to squeeze out Wu Qi, even if such a person has the ability, but he can't be reused.
Now after the awakening of Uncle Acne, Wei Zhen has begun to equate Le Yang and Wu Qi.
What Uncle Acne has to do now is one thing: force the sheep to rebel.
If Le Yang is opposed, then it seems to prove that if Wu Qi continues to be in Wei, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future.
Therefore, as long as Le Yang is opposed, then the matter of Uncle Acne squeezing out Wu Qi is not jealous of the virtuous and jealous, but to clear out the possible internal rebels for the Wei State in advance, which is really a great achievement of taking precautions.
And if you want to force Le Yang, you can't say it too clearly, and you can't let Wei Zhen notice it, this is exactly what Uncle Acne really wants to say today.
Uncle Gong's acne problem, Wei Zhen was speechless.
What kind of reward can you give to Leyang? Last time, Le Yang even ate his son's meat, but as a result, he only mixed a fief of Lingshou and was completely squeezed out of the center of power.
That's the work of destroying the country.
With such a big land in Zhongshan Kingdom, do you really want to give it to Leyang? So what will the Gong Clan think? What should I do if Leyang has an antipathy in the future? Now that the ministers of the court, how many can be replaced, so that Le Yang can become the secretary?
Wei Zhen shook his head and said, "Le Yang, this person is no different from Wu Qi. greedy for fame, ruthless and unrighteous, you can't let him be a secretary, and you can't let him have too wide a fief. ”
Uncle Acne was secretly happy in his heart, but he nodded heavily on his face and said: "Therefore, if the king wants to solve the matter of Zhongshan, he should use punishment instead of reward." ”
Wei Zhen nodded, seemed to understand, and said, "So, in Qing's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Uncle acne said: "You can send someone to take Leyang's wife, clan brother and others to Anyi." Xiushu and Le Yang questioned his grandson about attacking the land of Wei, what should he do? ”
"Le Yang has talent, if he can do his best to be the king, then the remnants of Zhongshan are not enough to trouble. I think he can put the chaos down. Just give him half a year and let him come to see him with his grandson's head, then it can be proved that people like Leyang can still be used. ”
"If you promise him a reward first, then what is his loyalty to you? Or are you loyal to the rewards of fame? This cannot be seen clearly. ”
"And if you don't promise to give him a reward first, if he can kill his grandson again, proving that he loves the king more than his grandson, then giving him a reward later, this is the right way."
If he heard the news, he rebelled and took refuge in Zhongshan...... Then it proves that he is originally anti-minded. If he didn't have a rebellion, why would he be afraid to send all his wife and clan to Anyi? He is in Lingshou, but he is Lingshou; But if he becomes Shangqing in the future, it will not be comparable to Lingshou. ”
Wei Bang clapped his hands and said, "That's right. If he really loved the widow Wei, he said that it was not for fame but for loyalty, so he ate his son. Is his wife more important than his son? Therefore, if he loves the widow Wei, he will not refuse to take his wife as a hostage. ”
Uncle acne praised and said: "In case of this, you can send brave people to enter Lingshou together." One urged the sheep. The second ...... If Le Yang has the heart of anti-Wei, he can be killed, otherwise Le Yang and Le Chi work together, and Gongzi Zhi will be more difficult to support. ”
"Although Leyang is talented, it may not be able to use it if he has talent. For example, Qi Zhitian also has meritocracy; Han, the son of Song, is known as a virtuous ......"
This is very true, Wei Zhen is a little embarrassed.
Uncle Acne said this, and a few names bypassed.
But if you don't bypass it, you can actually continue to ask: then the Zhao, Han, Wei and other families are also virtuous, but which monarch is willing to use such virtuous talents? How did this Wei State start, don't you have any points in your heart?
Seeing Wei Zhen's gaze dodging, Uncle Gong said again: "Talented people, if they can use it, they can use it, if they can't use it, or they know that they will be reversed, they should be killed, so as to prevent future troubles." Leyang is talented, but his grandson Lechi is the minister of Zhongshan, which cannot be prevented. If there is no music pit, the sheep may be of great use. ”
Wei Zhen nodded and said, "Good." Qing has the words of seeking the country. So, the matter of Leyang can be solved, can those businessmen who speculate in Zhongshan consult the Mo family and let them dispose of these businessmen? Many were merchants of the Wei State, which was a crime of treason. ”
Uncle Gong shook his head and said: "There is a law to follow, I have heard that these things, as long as they are in accordance with the law, even if they are suitable for birds and shackles, they cannot interfere." If you want to solve these merchants, you need to change the law of Sishang, and the law of Sishang originates from the so-called Tianzhi of the Mo family, so it must be extinguished together with the Tianzhi of the Mo family. ”
"So, your lordship, can Wei give up Zhao State, Zhongshan, Zheng State, and Chen Cai now, and invest 100,000 armor soldiers to die in Sishang?"
Wei Zhen's failure in Niuqiyi that year led to Li Kui's recommendation of Wu Qi as if he was slapping him in the face, although he was resentful of the Mo family, he finally knew the Mo family's skills to defend the city. After the battle of Lushui and Yuanji, Wei Zhen understood that at this time, if he broke the Sishang Mo family in one fell swoop, I am afraid that it would not be possible to have a 100,000-strong army.
The merchants of the Wei State speculated on the restoration of Zhongshan to the country, and Wei Zhen was angry in his heart, but those merchants of the Wei State lived in Taoqiu for a generation, and the industries were also there, and there was nowhere to arrest people. The land was given to the nobles, and the merchants did not have much land in their hands, so it was really a businessman who had no country, and the national law could not be systematized, because those merchants had no property in the Wei State.
Wei Zhen sighed and said: "In this way, unless Leyang is loyal, the Zhongshan matter cannot be solved." If the country is restored, it can only wait until the affairs of the Zhao State are completed, and then the front row of armor generals will capture it. Then, the affairs of Zhao Guo are indeed more important than the affairs of Zhongshan. ”
Uncle Gong nodded and said: "At present, Wu Qi is selfish and plotting, wanting to destroy Qin and Weishui Plains first, so as to prevent Wei from suffering in the west, and then seek the Central Plains." Wen Hou no. If Qin is destroyed, Wu Qi can't. If Wu Qi destroys Qin, his attack is outstanding, this person is famous, and he will seek to be sealed in Weishui. However, the Qin people got Weishui and could be listed as a warring state. Wu Qi will enter the phase, can train and govern the army, and is invincible in all battles; It can change the law and make the country rich and the people strong. Such a person cannot be sealed in Weishui. Therefore, the strategy of the Central Plains to dominate the world by destroying the army and destroying the Qin first cannot be used. ”
"The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are all from Jin, but the three cannot work together. For example, in the alliance of Kuiqiu back then, Qi Huan was stronger than the other countries, so he could become the leader of the alliance. Wei is stronger than Han Zhao, and the three Jin can form an alliance; Wei is weaker than Han Zhao, and even if an alliance is formed, Wei will not be able to agree. Wei Guo thinks so, Han Zhao also thinks so, the mountains and rivers on the surface, Zhao is strong, Wei is weak, Wei is strong, and Zhao is weak, it is impossible for Han, Zhao and Wei to be strong and not fight internally and externally. ”
"Now that Zhao is in turmoil, Ximen Leopard has strong soldiers in Ye, Ximen Leopard has virtuous ability, Ye Nan chokes Mu and North Weihandan, this place can be attacked and defended, this is the foundation for the king to be able to come to Handan."
"Wu Qi entered Qin, although there was a catastrophe, but it would be a few years later. Wu got up from the West River, killed the Qin generals, chased the Duke of Qin, and after entering Qin, the Qin nobles will complain. ”
"As Wu Qi said: If you are not at peace with the country, you can't go out into the army; If you are not in harmony with the army, you cannot go into battle; If you are not in harmony, you cannot enter the war; If there is no peace, there can be no victory. ”
"Wu Qi enters Qin, and Qin will not be at peace with the country. The soldiers of Xihe can all be transferred to the east of the river, and there is no need to worry that the Qin people will send troops to seek Xihe at this time, and Qin will be in civil strife. ”
"With the strength of the Xihe warriors, the Zhao people can't be defeated, so the matter of the Gongzi Dynasty can be accomplished."
"If you can get Handan as a bribe, you can govern Handan with the ability of Ximen Leopard. The north is connected to Julu, the plain is not dangerous, then Zhongshan and Wei are one, and the Zhao people are trapped in prison on three sides: there are Shangjun and Xihe in the west; There are Hedong and Central Plains in the south; There are Zhongshan, Handan, and Julu in the east...... In this way, the hegemony of the Three Jin Dynasty can be achieved, and the Zhao people will look up to Wei's snort. ”
"If you can't Handan, Zhongshan will always be an enclave. Handan, there is the risk of Taihang, the plain east of Taihang links Zhongshan, and the map can be attributed to Wei in the future. ”
"The Zhao people are trapped and can only go north, and the national strength is declining due to the rebellion of the son, and the hegemony of the Wei State can be achieved."
