Chapter 301: Zhao Gou Loses the People's Hearts and Shorts the Southern Dynasty Plan (I)
The emperors of the Southern Dynasty made jokes, which became not uncommon for the people of the Central Plains.
Who let that King Kang Zhao Gou meet a "flying immortal outside the sky", and who made the Southern Dynasty more ministers and few capable ministers?
After Zhao Gou made a series of self-destructive moves, he started from the Daimyo's Mansion in the north, Qiongzhou City in the south, Dengzhou by the sea in the east, and Lanzhou City in the west. In the places where the people gathered in the streets and alleys, almost all of them were laughing at King Kang's behavior of following the example of Dong Shi and painting tigers into anti-dogs for a few days.
Even in Zhao Gou's capital, storytellers in some remote tea shops and taverns quickly made up jokes. borrowed ancient irony to say that King Kang was Wang Mang's second, and gave Wang Huang the early definition of a failure in the Southern Dynasty reform.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the contradiction of the people's hearts is the key to the longevity of all dynasties and the stability of all monarchs.
Zhao Gou's series of decisions made entirely out of his selfish and self-reliant ideas disappointed the Southern Dynasty in just a few days.
Only a few days later, many people from the Central Plains who had fled the war from the north to the south began to leave their temporary homes on King Kang's territory with their families and villages. These people went all the way to the north, and they had only one purpose, that is, to return to their hometown, to return to the area controlled by Liu Xing and Liu Taifu on the land of King Xin.
The people can see in their hearts that King Kang is not Wang Mang, he is more like a completely self-centered waste who is not worthy of the emperor at all.
Rather than sit under the rule of such a selfish emperor who treats the world like a mustard, and wait for Taifu Liu to clean up the Jurchens and the Western Xia people in the future, and then return to the Northern Dynasty, it is better to return to his hometown as soon as possible. In the future, there will be a lot less variables and a lot less displacement.
Good birds choose trees to perch, and gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls.
When a large number of northerners who fled south began to cross the province and flock to their homeland in droves, many courtiers of the Southern Dynasty were also persuaded by their families.
In less than ten days. Liu Ziyu and Wu Luan, who were still leading troops to constantly harass Jinghu North Road and Huainan East Road, actually received secret letters from all over the Southern Dynasties, down to the county order, and up to the high-ranking officials at the road level.
What Wu Ling and Liu Ziyu didn't expect the most was that it was nothing for the magistrate to want to return north and defect to Liu Xing, and even Zhao Gou's central ministers such as the Hubu Shilang and the Officials Lang Zhongling also sent secret letters hoping that Liu and Wu would provide convenience for them and allow them to return to their hometowns with their families and clansmen......
Liu Ziyu is a military general, not a civil official, and he and Wu Lan don't dare to advocate anything like this.
After receiving these snowflakes like a secret letter flying down from the Southern Dynasty. Liu Ziyu chose to find Wang Mingde, the governor of Henan and the henchman of Liu Xing, as soon as possible. Like him, Wu Lan also sent piles of letters to the yamen of the governor of Shandong as soon as possible. It was placed in front of Hu Yin, who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to the governor of Shandong.
Wang Mingde and Hu Yin, one is Liu Xing's confidant, and the other is the senior official sent by the central Shangshu to give way to his father, and they are also confused for a while in the face of so many and thousands of letters.
But Wang Mingde was well aware of the importance of these letters, so he opened some of them on the spot, read them carefully, and came to a conclusion: the land of the Southern Dynasties. The government and the opposition are uneasy. King Kang Southern Dynasty. The rule of the officials has been chaotic. All over the south of the Yangtze River, people's hearts are scattered. The soldiers and civilians were panicked and wanted to return north.
Wang Mingde came to such a conclusion, and immediately wrote this conclusion into a letter and sent it directly to Liu Xing in Wutai City with a Feihe biography.
At the same time as receiving Wang Mingde's recital, Liu Xing also received a recital from Hu Yin in Shandong.
After carefully reading the recitals of the two, Liu Xing looked at Hu Anguo, the master of scripture and the founder of the "Huxiang School", who was sitting next to him and had just taken over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and handed over the book of the Criminal Department to Chen Kangbo.
The smile suddenly retracted. Liu Xing said to Hu Anguo: "Old man, your disciples are all over the south of the Yangtze River. This time, I'm afraid I really want you to write a reply on my behalf to these readers who are interested in voting and want to return to the north with their families and clansmen. ”
When Hu Anguo heard this, Zhengse got up and arched his hand to Liu Xing: "Mrs. Liu, but there is a dispatch, how dare the old man disobey." It's just that I don't know what Taifu wants to say to those people? And how are you going to settle them when they return to the north? ”
Hu Anguo was a well-known scholar, physicist, and politician during the Song and Song dynasties, and had a great influence on today's political and academic fields.
Hu Anguo, with his "Treatise on Current Affairs", "Treatise on Governing the Country", and "Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", laid the foundation for the "Hunan School" style of combining the study of the mind with the application of the world, which on the one hand made important contributions to the development of science, and at the same time provided a set of useful classics for the ruling class.
Hu Anguo lectured on Biquan and taught Hu Hong and his disciples. His sons Hu Yin, Hu Hong, and Hu Ning are known as the "three young men of the Hu family" in contemporary classics.
In the early years, the four fathers and sons successively lectured in Biquan, Yuelu, Songshan and other academies, cultivated a large number of scholars, and formed the Hu school, which is called "the study of the hidden mountain".
When he was a teenager, Liu Xing was also one of Hu Anguo's favorite students when he was studying and teaching at Songshan Academy.
Although many gentlemen say that Liu Xing is evil and crazy and cannot be taught, they all say that Liu Xing will be one day and a demon. But Hu Anguo thinks that the stubborn son has become a great weapon, and the evil scholar has risen to the sky.
It is precisely because Hu Anguo valued Liu Xing back then, coupled with the relationship between the planter and the planter, that Liu Xing was not expelled from the door wall by Songshan Academy after repeatedly making trouble and designing to harm Mr.
What Hu Anguo did and said back then was a kind of kindness and a kind of acquaintance for Liu Xing.
That's why Hu Yin was so smooth that he first became the secretary of the criminal department, and then this old Mr. Hu was willing to go out of the mountain to help his favorite students, and then he was sent to Shandong as a governor by Liu Xing with confidence.
And among those officials in Jiangnan today, many are Hu Dingguo's disciples or re-disciples. According to common sense, many of them can also be regarded as Liu Xing's fellow Confucianists.
Nepotism, in fact, Hu Anguo is willing to take over Liu Xing's work this time, and he is also very clear about Liu Xing's kindness to him and to his father and son.
Because his youngest son, Hu Hong, who had hardly even met Liu Xing, had just become the governor of Dongchuan two days earlier. His other son, Hu Ning, is now also directly appointed by Liu Xing from a seven-pin sesame official to be the prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine.
Trust stems from the friendship between teachers and students, and with this friendship, Hu Anguo can only do this in order to be worthy of Liu Xing and the friendship between the two.
And Liu Xing also wanted to use this friendship to invite this gentleman who was the best for him to do him a big favor and a big favor that could cause a great earthquake in the officialdom of the Southern Dynasties.
As long as this thing is really done, Liu Xing seems to see the scene where there are no county officials in the counties of the Southern Dynasty, and there is only a group of wine bags and rice bags in the court who have no real talent and learning, and can only flatter and pat Zhao Gou's ass.
