Chapter 4 Fang Yuan
Yuan Xiangping looked at Chang Sihao, pointed at the sixty-percent monk, and said with a smile: "He entered the empty door, I didn't come out, and there were a lot of connections during the process,"
Chang Sihao was very strange, the sixty percent monk smiled silently, Yuan Xiangping put his cup on the table and said: "The military marquis can know the origin of the Tang Sect," Chang Sihao said: "I know a little bit about it," and then repeated what Tang Gen said to himself, Yuan Xiangping smiled: " Yes, Tang is empty, more than 180 years ago, the Tang family was not surnamed Tang, at that time there was a son in the family although he was in Buddhism, but he participated in the military and politics, planning the use of soldiers for others, resulting in the misery of the world, a big family was ashamed, so he avoided Sichuan and changed his surname to Tang, however, the military marquis can know the original surname of Tangmen, "Chang Sihao thought that Tang Gen said "help people fight", how did it turn out to be "planning and using soldiers for others", this difference is big, as for what the original surname is, it is even more passing, never said in detail at all, shook his head at the moment,
Yuan Xiangping glanced at Monk Liucheng with a smile on his face, and saw that he had no intention of covering, so he said, "The surname is Yao,"
"Oh......" Chang Sihao replied in a low voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in his heart: "Hey, more than one hundred and eighty years ago, wasn't that before Zhu Dijing, the king of Yan, raised an army, Zhu Di's important military advisor who gave advice was a monk, that was the famous Yao Guangxiao, is it ......?"
Yuan Xiangping looked at his knowing expression and smiled slightly: "Yes, the rebel son of the Yao family, it is Guangxiao, he helped King Yan train soldiers, build weapons, plot and plan, and put forward the slogan of 'Qingjun side', so that Zhu Di raised the banner of Jingnan, and entered Jinling to seize the world of Jianwen, which violated the pure way of Buddhism, Yaomen is a good family, and was deeply ashamed of it. The root reason for changing the surname to Tang, and later giving up people to become monks in each generation is also to atone for this sin,"
Chang Sihao was surprised, he really didn't expect that the Tang Sect had such a background, no wonder he set the rules of not fighting with the officials, and would rather hide in the mountains and spend the spring and autumn in the wilderness, so that even the Tang grandmother died, the Tang brothers still had to stop with grief and pain, and did not let Tang Gen kill Wu Zhiming and others, it seems that they are not afraid of the government, but have a deep disgust for all this,
Yuan Xiangping said: "Although Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is tyrannical, but after ascending the throne, he worked hard to build a prosperous Yongle era, so that the world changed the decline since the Song and Yuan dynasties, and chased the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all bad things seem to have become good things, whether what Yao Guangxiao did was greater than the fault, or was it more than the merit, whether it was to help the abuse, or to assist the virtuous ministers, but it is difficult to say, but it is certain that he has said good things for a person, and that person is Fang Xiaoru,"
Chang Sihao said: "I've heard of this, Mr. Fang is talented, is the teacher of Emperor Jianwen, in the Battle of Jingjing, wrote a lot of crusade against Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di Don't kill him after breaking the city, otherwise the seed of reading in the world will be extinct, but later the city broke Mr. Fang was captured, regardless of his own life, scolded Zhu Di for being a usurper Yan thief, and was punished by the ten clans, which is a tragic thing that has never been seen since ancient times," Since ancient times in China, the most serious sin is nothing more than the punishment of the nine tribes, the punishment of the ten tribes, it can be said that this is the only case, when it was spread all over the world, so even Chang Sihao, a person who does not read much, is also very familiar.
Yuan Xiangping's expression was calm, and he nodded slowly: "Filial piety and ancestor are upright, regard the ancestral etiquette as a thunder pool, and receive the grace of Emperor Jianwen's knowledge, so it is a festival of death, and then the world looks at it, and it is impossible to laugh at its foolishness, alas, the victor, the prince, the loser, the thief, the world is always difficult to say,"
Chang Sihao heard him call Fang Xiaoru an ancestor, that he was a descendant of the Fang family, and he was very shocked in his heart, but after the process of Lian'an, the ancestors in his heart were the ancestors, and the descendants were the descendants, and they were clearly distinguished, so at this moment, he didn't feel any special respect for Yuan Xiangping.
Sixty percent of the monk said: " Fang Xiaowen, the brother of Fang Xiaoru, died before filial piety, his grandson was abducted by a group of water thieves by the Qinhuai River before Zhu Di sent someone to raid the house, and the thieves found that the other party's house had been copied when they were looking for extortion, and it was at this time that they learned that the abducted person was the descendant of the Fang family, and the thieves could not bear to harm the child because they admired his name, and then he was rescued by the heroes of the green forest, and he was transferred to Meishan, and when he grew up, he changed his surname to Yuan, leaving a hidden branch in Sichuan.
Yuan Xiangping saw Chang Sihao's brows frowning slightly, and asked, "What does the military marquis mean by this?"
Chang Sihao said: "Please forgive me for being rude, Yuan's surname, it should be 'circle', change the square to a circle, isn't it grinding off the edges and corners, and becoming a soft egg," Yuan Xiangping laughed: "Okay, the military marquis is worthy of being a hero in the world, and his speech is really straightforward and happy, well, I want to come to my ancestors to avoid trouble here, I am in a hurry, and I am discouraged and lazy, I probably do have this intention, but I can't be a man and do things, I really can't be rigid and self-conscious, and I am too strong,"
Liucheng said with a smile: "What Mr. said is, "Yi" cloud 'the world is the same and different paths', and life should also be outside the circle and inside, abide by the principles in the face of change, outside the code, and seek flexibility, otherwise it is useless to die in vain, for the official, in a high position, close to the king, often have to go forward, hope to say, although it can be for the benefit of the people, it is inevitable to serve one person and far away from the world, and the people of the world are not as poor as rich, rich as knowing, knowing and doing nothing, the party is really blessed, is to Yuan Lao's life will never enter, set up a museum to carve apprentices, lecture and preach, in order to send the people foolish, The wisdom of opening the people, this piece of compassion for the world, Hou Ye must know,"
Chang Sihao pondered that his behavior and the practice of the Hundred Swords Alliance were the same, but the purpose was the same, since both of them had revealed their secret life experiences, and they had nothing to hide, so they immediately talked about Zheng Meng's idea of controlling power by infiltrating the cabinet, and then changing the direction of policy, cleaning up the officialdom, reorganizing the army, measuring the land, and benefiting the people, Yuan Xiangping was dumbfounded for a long time, and hit the table and said: " The old decay has taught only hundreds of people in his life, this person is eloquent and strategic, ten times better than the old decay, if this matter is successful, the world will benefit more than trillions,"
Chang Sihao sighed: "It's a pity that the great cause of the Lord Zheng League was not completed, unfortunately died, although he made up his mind to inherit his legacy, but he couldn't learn it, and in the face of all kinds of Jingshi, he always felt powerless, especially Xu Jie, Guo Shu Ronghua and other generations were wise, and every time they competed with it, they were at a disadvantage.
Liucheng said with a smile: "Guo Shu Ronghua is hidden in the East Factory, and he acts secretly, so it's hard to say, Xu Jie's old man is just a dry bone in the grave, what do you have to worry about?"
Chang Sihao said happily: "The Zen master has a way to deal with him,"
Liucheng said with a smile: "This matter is easy to hear, Xu Jie is cunning and dark, it is not easy to deal with, if the world wants to move him, most of them have to think of his second son......" Chang Sihao said: "Yes, I will go south this time, and I am ready to look for an opportunity to catch Xu Da and Xu Er as evidence in the township, so that I can return to Beijing to sue the emperor and impeach Xu Jie," Liucheng said: "If this is the case, then the matter will definitely fail," Chang Sihao was stunned: "How do you say this,"
Liucheng said: "When Yan Song fell, he was defeated by his son Yan Shifan, Xu Jie manipulated this matter behind his back, and he could not be afraid, so he arranged his two sons in his hometown Huating, which is the Tiangao Emperor Yuan, once there is an accident and it is inconvenient to investigate, you can give them time to falsify and cheat, even if you catch the real evidence, it will become fake in Beijing,"
Chang Sihao said: "In this way, it is useless to grasp the evidence,"
Liucheng Dao: "It's useful, the evidence must be grasped in your hands, but you can't use it to sue," Chang Sihao was even more strange, Liucheng said: "Sue in front of the emperor, it is to seal the retreat for Xu Jie, which will inevitably cause him to fight back, with his power in the court and the emperor's dependence on him, he can completely refer to the deer as a horse, even if the emperor is clear in his heart, he must weigh the weight when the time comes, give up the pawn to protect the car, and cover up for him,"
Chang Sihao knew in his heart that of course he was the "pawn", and when he thought that he couldn't defeat Xu Jie with real evidence, he suddenly felt depressed.
I saw Liucheng smile easily: "The rules of officialdom are to deceive the upper and lower levels, this evidence, the people above can't know, and the people below don't have to know, who to show it, do you need to say it?"
Chang Sihao hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you mean is to show Li Chunfang, Chen Yiqin, and Zhang Juzheng, the elders,"
Liucheng shook his head: "These people are either attached to Xu Jie, or their strength is not enough, or they are wise enough to protect themselves, and it is useless to show them,"
Chang Sihao said: "Then who else, is it difficult for Xu Jie to see for himself,"
Liucheng smiled: "Exactly,"
Chang Sihao glared twice, so strange that he couldn't add more, only to see Liucheng smiled: "You can let him see a little, or you can not let him see it at all, but you have evidence in your hand, you must let Xu Jie know, he will be nervous when he finds that the enemy has a good card in his hand, and he will immediately mobilize everything to prepare for a counterattack, because he doesn't know the content and has nowhere to focus, he has to wait for the other party to play, but you don't play,"
Chang Sihao heard some doorways, his face showed a look of joy and inquiry, and Liucheng said: "Officialdom has always been able to cure a service and a death, just because life is not life, power is life, when fighting for power, you can break your head and bleed, once the predecessor moves out of the seat, the later one must take care of it, so that the one who goes is not to blame, the one who comes is not to blame, everyone has a face, he sees that you don't do it, but will become more and more restless, guessing that the enemy's hand must have a chance to win, the reason why he did not move, is to leave himself a chance to retreat and give way,"
Chang Sihao couldn't help but interject: "This is a joke, can he take the initiative to resign,"
Liucheng said: "Xu Jie is different from you, he is already almost seventy people, old people, always have to think about the future for themselves and their children and grandchildren, he has been in the officialdom for many years, knows the danger, after discovering the strength and determination of the opponent, he must not want to fall into ruin, and even if he is suppressed after being impeached, he is bound to be disgraced, folded his face, and he will not be able to live in the cabinet anymore, it is better to take the initiative to resign and end up in a beautiful situation,"
Chang Sihao thought secretly: "Xu Jie's age, he is indeed uneasy in his heart, otherwise he would not have befriended the Haoge, which is in line with what Jiang Wan said, and he is already in full swing, but he is still in the middle of the court to install people and cultivate party members, which is also a manifestation of uneasiness,"
Liucheng said: "Even if Xu Jie's love of power is reluctant, when the time comes, he will find some officials and imperial history, find some trivial things to knock and beat, with his age, he is frightened and frightened every day, and he can last for a few days," After speaking, he put a chopstick and dried bean curd in his mouth, pursed his lips and chewed, Yuan Xiangping laughed and said: "Use the circle not to lose the square, to overcome the strong with softness, knock on the mountain and frighten the tiger, stir the sea and lead the dragon to Xiang, the Zen master's clever plan, it is really 'a soldier who surrenders without a fight', hahahaha,"
When the two were looking at each other and laughing, they saw Chang Sihao suddenly put aside the lamp and avoided the table.
