Chapter 18: Tu Nan (End)
At this time, the night was already deep, and above the leaden blue night, a bright moon like a jade disk shone among the stars. Like water and moonlight, it outlines the dark skyline of Jicheng. After all, the atmosphere in northern Xinjiang is not as good as that of the Luoyang court, even if it is a luxury family, there are few people who drink and feast all night. By this time, the vast majority of the residents had already fallen asleep, and only a few sporadic lights were still shining in the distant city. Occasionally, the light of fire moved back and forth, and it was the soldiers in charge of guarding the city patrolling.
But everyone in the council chamber was in high spirits. I thought it was just a transactional discussion, but it was postponed until late at night, and it was obvious that the military government's major policies were about to be decided here, at this time, whether they agreed with Fang Qinzhi's opinion or not, everyone listened attentively.
"Since the founding of this dynasty, the central officials have been ridiculed by the eight princes and the same time, and the clouds are attached; The principles of selecting and employing people who are also in charge of military and political affairs are also similar. Generally speaking, those who can go out of the border states are all important ministers who have become buildings and are in the economy. In terms of origin, he is either a famous family who has been crowned since the Han and Wei dynasties, or a noble son who served as the founder of the Emperor and Jin Dynasty in order to name the Wei family, or a prince of the Sima clan...... All of them are the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if they have no military and political talents, they can also make progress and sit in the minister's office, and it is difficult for anyone else to have a career at all. β
"The lord is naturally very different from his generation, and he can be called the only outlier among the feudal officials of this dynasty. The lord was born in Jiangzuo and died in the country, and he started in the army, and in the eyes of the central princes, his status is really humble; In the process of building a contribution to the northern Xinjiang, there is no family background to help Austria, all by virtue of the invincible prestige of the past, to win the grand occasion of the gathering of civil and military heroes at this moment. It is not easy for the lord to get to this point; It is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult to have a follow-up exhibition. β
Fang Qinzhi talked eloquently and analyzed slowly.
There are two important turning points in 6 Yao's career: one is to be favored by Liu Yueshi, the assassin of Bingzhou, and become a general in terms of solitary blocking; One is to take advantage of the opportunity of the King of the East China Sea to balance the northern powerhouses and pacify Daijun as General Yingyang. Without Liu Kun's help, 6 Yao is just a warrior who is good at fighting, born and died thousands of times, but he can only maintain his level and get some gold and silk rewards; Without the connivance of the King of the East China Sea, 6 Yao's expeditions to the east and west were all for the purpose of merging the states to expand their power, and it was impossible to combine the military strength in their hands with the prefectures and counties to form a self-contained political group. There is no doubt that the rise of the Pingbei Military Government is not only due to the heroic strength of 6 Yao, but also closely related to the support and help from the outside. But this kind of support and help is limited after all, after all, in the eyes of the center, 6 Yao is just a martial artist from the bottom, and he doesn't deserve too much attention. It can be seen from the imperial court's separate appointments to the governor of Youzhou and the assassin that even if 6 Yao is about to become the husband of the lord of Jingling County, he will no longer be able to get more political capital from the outside.
Detached from the support of the outside world, will 6 Yao and his Pingbei Military Mansion be at ease in Youzhou and wait for the situation to change, or will they seize the time to take the initiative and seek the opportunity to go to the next level?
6 The experience of starting from the defeat of the defeated army in Bingzhou and finally obtaining the authority of Youzhou is already familiar to all subordinates. Breaking the Xiongnu, retreating from Shile, Pingdai County, and taking the source, he climbed to the status of the governor of Youzhou by virtue of a series of military achievements. But if these achievements alone are far from enough to give him the confidence to go further and better. Although most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Great Jin Dynasty are incompetent, there are still many famous ministers and generals after all. For example, Liu Kun of Bingzhou, Gou Xi of Yanzhou, Zhang Liang of Liangzhou, etc., have served in many states and counties, and have commanded major wars of more than 100,000 people, and their power is far above 6 Yuan, which has risen for only one year. Even Jizhou Thorn Shi Ding Shao, in terms of fame and qualifications, is far beyond the reach of 6 Yao; The deep foundation of its Jizhou Group is not comparable to that of the Pingbei Military Government.
When Fang Qinzhi said this, many of the civil and military forces present showed a stupid face, and some people wanted to get up to refute, but when they saw that 6 Yao himself was slightly chinned, he had to hold back his feelings.
In the period of history that 6 Yao was familiar with, Wang Jun, who was entrenched in Youzhou, overestimated his own strength, which led him to die and destroy the country, and became a laughing stock for thousands of years. 6 Yao would not inflate himself to that extent, he understood, in fact, Fang Qinzhi said it politely. Perhaps the Pingbei Military Government has a certain advantage in military strength, but if we take into account all political and economic factors, the local forces whose strength surpasses the Pingbei Military Government are not limited to the merger, Yan, Liang, Hebei and other places? If the vision is not limited to the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, think of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom in the east of the Hedong, the Qianren Liukou who defeated the wolf of the East China Sea in the Central Plains, the Li regime of the Di nationality who seized Western Shu, and the hundreds of thousands of fierce Xianbei tribes on the grassland...... Which one is not stronger than the Pingbei Military Government? If these alien races are taken into account, the Pingbei Military Government may only be regarded as a second-rate local force.
An unprecedented terrible turmoil is coming, and with second-rate local forces alone, will we be able to stand firm and turn the tide? In this regard, 6 Yao can only say that he is confident and determined, but he is not very sure.
The current situation of the Great Jin Dynasty has reached this point, and people of insight have already known that it is difficult to return, and after a little speculation, it can be predicted that it will inevitably continue to slide into the abyss, and there is no possibility of luck, so they are more or less already preparing for the upcoming troubled times. Fang Qinzhi may not have considered this as a whole when he was in business, but after being under the command of 6 Yao, on the one hand, he participated in the secrets and had extensive access to a large amount of information, and on the other hand, he accepted 6 Yao's views on the current situation at close range.
Today, he said so much in circles, in fact, he was repeatedly instilling a truth to everyone: The Pingbei Military Government must not be satisfied with Youzhou and be satisfied with being a court official in a peaceful and prosperous world. 6 Haruka, on the other hand, must seize the last period of the imperial court system to gain enough prestige to stand in troubled times. Only when the prestige is high, can you obtain more abundant political capital; With the abundant political capital, it also has more channels and means to seize authority, territory, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and can shorten the gap with the rest of the military and political groups in other places as much as possible before the chaotic times come!
Zao Song had to admit that from this point of view, Fang Qinzhi's opinion was really good. Seeking more prestige is indeed an urgent and important task at the moment. But he pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said, "There are many ways to gain prestige...... Why do you have to lead troops into Los Angeles? What is the rationale for this move? If this is true, I am afraid that it will be suspected of indulgence. β
"There are many ways to gain prestige, but there are very few options available at the moment." Fang Qinzhi responded: "First, this is definitely not the right time to use troops for foreign expeditions. The military government has reached the current Cheng dΓΉ, and it is directly bordered by many Xianbei and Donghu strong tribes, and if the military action gets out of control, no one can bear the consequences. If the DPRK and China are charged with provocation without permission, it will be even more troublesome. The two, from the perspective of governance, will inevitably lead to a conflict with Youzhou Assassin Shi Zuti, and the gains outweigh the losses. If the outside world thinks that the Lord is acting violently and cruelly, it is not beautiful. More importantly, what the lord wants is the fame of the world, not limited to the fame of the state and county! β
He said in an accentuated tone: "In the past, when the two kings of Hejian and Chengdu were difficult, Zhang Liang of Liangzhou sent 3,000 troops to Beijing to the east, and then he was allowed by the imperial court to have all the land of Liangzhou and dominate Hexi. Now the governors of the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains are attached to the wings of the king of the East China Sea and do not take the Luoyang court seriously; And the frontier is full of smoke, and the uncles are all too busy to take care of themselves. However, the Huns in Hedong were troubled, and the Central Plains thieves were rampant, and the situation was more embarrassing than that year. The lord's name will also spread all over the world, and the Zhang family will not be allowed to be beautiful. At that time, it is not clear that all the problems that once plagued us will be solved. β
"That's fine, it's just that the lord has not a deep foundation in Youzhou, and he rashly stayed away from the foundation, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers along the way...... It's too risky! Zao Song thought about it for a while, and frowned again.
"The positions of the generals of Pingbei and the military of Youzhou are not only out of the official edict of the imperial court, but also from the bloody battle of the lord and the princess, if it is dangerous, where is there no danger along the way? In the world, how can there be anyone who can plan great things by sparing his life and living in his own household? Saying that, Fang Qinzhi no longer paid attention to Zao Song, turned around and bowed down to 6 Yao: "Going to Luoyang, it is impossible and risk-free." But compared to the expected harvest, even if it is risky, it is insignificant! β
Zao Song wanted to say something more, but seeing that 6 Yao's eyes lowered slightly, revealing a contemplative expression, he didn't dare to disturb for a moment, so he could only glare at Fang Qin and sit down angrily.
There was silence in the conference hall, and dozens of civil and military personnel were waiting for 6 Yao to take over. For a while, except for the sound of the night wind whistling by, only 6 Yao habitually gently pressed the bone joint of his left hand, making a "gurgling" sound.
Fang Qinzhi is indeed good at vertical and horizontal arts, his eloquence is like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and he also has a commanding vision, which is different from the ordinary wingmen buried in affairs. To say that 6 Haruka is not moved by his construction is false. But when the identity reaches the point of 6 Yao, a decision and a judgment will involve the vital interests and even life and death of tens of thousands of people; He must base every decision on detailed intelligence and rigorous reasoning, and must not act arbitrarily.
6 Yao also keenly felt that with the expansion of the military government's power, the contradictions between the civil servants and the military generals, the contradictions between the new and the old subordinates, and the contradictions between the moderate and the radical faction also began to emerge. And Shao Xu seemed to have the same opinion as Fang Qinzhi, but he never spoke, obviously using the young and vigorous Fang as a gunman...... How to control this undercurrent to a certain limit is a topic that he needs to explore slowly.
After a long time and a lot of thoughts, 6 Yao said slowly: "This matter is very important, and it is difficult to make a decision in an instant. Let me weigh it up for a while, and then it's not too late to deliberate. β
As soon as this statement came out, there were disappointed and fortunate among the subordinates. However, Fang Qinzhi's expression was as usual, and he bowed meticulously and gave a courtesy: "Yes." β
At this point, the meeting was almost over. Several officials took this opportunity to briefly report a few more details, and only then dispersed after 6 Yao gave instructions one by one. Most of the civil officials lived in the squares near the general's mansion, but it was fine; Due to the curfew in the city, 6 Haruka had to issue passage papers and warrants to open the city gates to several officers who left the city.
By the time the disposal is complete, it's time to sub-order. 6Haruka yawned and turned to the backyard of the General's Mansion.
Since most of the manpower was used for the repair of camps, passes, and roads, this general's mansion was intermittently organized for more than a month, and it has not yet been completed. Fortunately, there is the foundation of the palace of the previous dynasty, and there are dozens of miscellaneous servants and more than ten maids, so it doesn't hurt to stay for a day or two occasionally. Just like the backyard that 6 Yao passed by at this moment, there are large-scale gardens, pools, and pavilions. Two maids led the way with lanterns in hand, and the candlelight still looked beautiful and pleasant even in the middle of the night. It's a pity that 6 couldn't enjoy the night view, so he only walked a few steps and fell into thought again.
After a few twists and turns along the corridor, you reach the bedroom. There was no one in the bedroom to greet her, only the incense floated, and the heavy gauze curtains were covered, and it turned out that Hu Liuniang couldn't come to 6 Yao, and 6 Yao, so she simply slept first. This is at odds with the requirements of the Female Commandment. With the temperament of Hu Dazhai's master, he couldn't do a tactful gesture of service, but 6 Yao liked her heartiness and ease. He waved his hand to order the maid to retreat outside, and he crept to the bedside, and saw that the beautiful woman had hidden most of her body under the brocade quilt, and was sleeping soundly; Only a pair of jade wrists and cheeks are exposed, like lotus roots and lotus flowers. There is still a faint snoring sound in my ears, and it looks more and more cute. 6 Yao couldn't help but be in a state of spurt, and almost threw all his plans and plans into the sky.
Finally calmed down, 6 Yao pushed Hu Liuniang's shoulder, and called softly: "Green Rui! Green stamen! ββ¦β¦ Hu Liuniang is six, and her name is Lurui, and 6 Yao only knew it before and after marriage. 6 Yao called five or six times in a row, and Hu Liuniang barely woke up. She looked at 6 Yao sleepily, and then took his arm into her arms, and fell asleep contentedly.
6 Yao smiled bitterly and withdrew his arm, and shook Hu Liuniang's shoulder: "Wake up!" Wake up! Green Stamen, I have something to ask you! β
"Huh?" Hu Liuniang's eyes widened in confusion, and after a while, her face turned red as if she had suddenly woken up, and she said a little twistedly: "Dead man...... Yesterday that method was not good, my mouth was sore, and I choked uncomfortably...... Don't beg me about this, my mother is not happy! β
"Cough cough ......" 6 Yao coughed violently for a while, and waved his hand again and again: "I'm talking about serious things, where do you think you ......"
Hu Liuniang was stunned for a moment, screamed, and got into the quilt.
"What's serious? Say it! Say it! She said in a sullen voice through the brocade quilt.
"Ahem...... Lu Rui ......"6 Yao thought about it and decided to change his name: "Liuniang, in the original people of your Funiu Village, are there any loyal and reliable talents who are familiar with the situation in the Central Plains and Luoyang?" If there is a suitable one, be sure to recommend a few to me, I have something to entrust. β
"Yes." Hu Liuniang replied with one word and never spoke again.
