Bian Fanzhi's expression changed and he was about to speak, but Huan Xuan waved his hand to stop him from speaking further: "Jingzu, I have something important to discuss with you. Now that our army has been defeated, Jingzhou needs to appease the people.
Especially Lu Zongzhi of Yongzhou, I can't let him have any dissent. I can rest assured that Yuanming is secretly controlling the situation in Jiangling. Oh, by the way, there is also Yin Zuowei, whose literary talent is outstanding. Yuanming, you go back to Jiangling with him.
, his thousand soldiers and horses are enough to protect you."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and bowed his head to his waist: "I will live up to your majesty's high expectations, so I will go now."
Looking at Tao Yuanming's retreating figure, Bian Fanzhi sighed: "Your Majesty, how can you let Tao Yuanming take Sima Dezong and Wang Shen'ai back to Jiangling? What's the difference between letting Liu Yu go back to Jingkou?"
The smile on Huan Xuan's face suddenly faded, and he said coldly: "Hasn't Tao Yuanming proven his loyalty yet? In the past two years, I have been looking towards you, listening to your words, not using him, and guarding against him. As a result, he is here
This time he made a great contribution. If it weren't for him, I might have been killed on the night when Liu Yu raised his army. He single-handedly put out the rebellion of Jiankang and Liyang, and helped me recapture Sheng'er, and Liyang fell.
, he is also like Hu Fan, who traveled thousands of miles to pursue him and defect to him. Do you still doubt such a loyal minister? "
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "Lingbao, Tao Yuanming's city is very deep, and now that I think about it, when he was in Jiankang, his behavior was also quite suspicious. The planning of those two groups of uprisings was extremely strict, especially in Jiankang."
On that occasion in Kangxi, Wang Yuande and others were originally going to assassinate His Majesty on his way back from the Imperial Ancestral Temple. However, when His Majesty left the Imperial Ancestral Temple, a group of assassins raided him. It was later proven that these people were not companions of Wang Yuande and his group, but Tao Yuanming was able to
Don’t you think it’s a bit of a coincidence to infer from this that Wang Yuande and Zhuge Changmin are far away in Liyang?”
Huan Xuan curled up his lips: "You want to say that those who came to assassinate me were sent by Tao Yuanming? What benefits could he get from assassinating me? By assassinating me, he could expose Wang Yuande and Zhuge Changmin's gang? Then why did he
Don’t you report Liu Yu directly?”
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "I have never thought about this, so I dare not tell you. There is also Liu Tingyun. He went into the palace alone and had a secret talk with Liu Tingyun for a long time, and then he was able to bring Huan Sheng out. Liu Tingyun's
You know her personality best. At that time, only her child was her life-saving talisman. If she wanted to rely on this child to let you take her with her, how could she let Tao Yuanming take her away like this? What's even weirder is that Liu Tingyun was followed by Liu Tingyun.
Yi, you can think about how big a role Tao Yuanming played in this."
Huan Xuan said coldly: "Then what should Tao Yuanming do to make you feel at ease? Kill Liu Tingyun and bring out Sheng'er? If you really do this, I'm afraid you will have other things to say. Jingzu, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have
You know best how much you trust and rely on, but now that the great cause has not been accomplished, it is time to employ people. It is best to put aside those jealous feelings you have at this time. Even if I pacify Jingba in the future and rebuild the great cause, I will bring Tao Yuanming back to you.
Xue Zang, there is no problem, but now, I need you to organize the army in the front, and I don’t need Tao Yuanming in the rear, who else can I use?"
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "Tao Yuanming got separated from us in Jiankang that day. Hu Fan summoned his old troops to come back. This is understandable. But Tao Yuanming said he was going to Liyang, but he came back alone. Diao Kui even killed him
, this in itself is full of doubts. Well, even if I take a step back, I don’t doubt Tao Yuanming’s past, but at this time, let a person who has not been reused for a long time take the former Sima emperor and the powerful woman Wang Shenai.
Are you really so relieved when you return to Jiangling? When Yin Zhongkan asked him to go to his hometown to recruit troops, didn't he trick his lord to death like this?"
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "You are worrying too much. Yin Zhongkan wants him to go back to recruit troops and provide food. This is something Tao Yuanming cannot provide, so he can only come and submit to me. I have been observing these years, except for his subordinates
Except for some killers, when it comes to soldiers, horses, money and food, they really don’t have any. No matter how powerful Wang Shen’ai is, they have no power in Jingzhou. In this regard, they are not as good as Yin Zhongwen. I asked Lao Yin to lead the troops to escort them back, but they can’t catch them.
You are making waves. Do you want to say that Lao Yin also has ambitions and problems?"
Bian Fanzhi shook his head: "Lao Yin is greedy for money and has no ambition. But at this time, if someone instigates him, he may not think of leaving a way out for himself. If you really want them to go back, you will eventually
So that Hu Fan can follow with his troops and withdraw to Lao Yin. Hu Fan is a truly loyal man and can be trusted."
Huan Xuan frowned: "After all, Hu Fan was a surrendered general before, and his relationship with Huan Zhen is not good. Letting him go back will cause big trouble. Besides, I also need him here, especially before Huan Zhen and Lu Zong come.
I need a general like Hu Fan to follow me. Liu Yi has already set off. If he really pursues him, there will be a blocking battle here in Fankou. We know He Danzhi's balance and will not stay.
If a general like Hu Fan helps me, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand Liu Yi."
Bian Fanzhi wanted to speak again, but Huan Xuan waved his hand: "Okay, respecting the ancestors, there is no need to say any more. I have made up my mind. Lao Yin is not around this time, so you have to worry more about edicts and documents.
I still have to write notes on daily life here, and I don’t have much time. You have to be more careful about some specific things.”
Bian Fanzhi opened his eyes wide and shook his head in disbelief: "What, you want to write notes on daily life? Are you crazy? These notes on daily life are recorded by the historians who record the emperor's words and deeds for future generations, let alone writing them by myself.
, the emperors of the past dynasties could not even take a look at it."
Huan Xuan sneered and said: "Why should I abide by the rules set by the ancients? This time I defeated Jiankang, I will record the whole process in detail, so as to spur myself on and learn lessons. You have also experienced it.
In the whole process, do you think I was wrong, or were Wu Fuzhi, Huangfu Fu, and you, Bian Jingzu, who insisted on fighting at that time, wrong? I said we should wait for work and concentrate our troops to meet the exhausted troops of the Eight Thieves in Beijing, but you are alone.
You have to make great achievements and attack each other, and finally defeat each one. Along the way, you have been at loggerheads with each other. I have recorded all of this so that I can have evidence in the future. Why can't it work?"
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "Because these things are too subjective, they cannot be recorded by the parties involved. If the emperor himself writes the daily notes, it must be a concealment of defeats and promotion of victory, concealing mistakes and showing right. How can there be any objectivity and fairness in this way?
What’s the reference? People’s hearts are unstable now. As the master, you should review your mistakes and stabilize people’s hearts instead of continuing to beautify yourself like this.”
