Chapter 19: Death (Part 2)
After a while, everything was quiet, Fang Xin slowly walked out
"I have met the marquis." Fang Xin bowed his hand to serve as a ritual. Those who have both titles do not need to kneel down, but those who are inferior can bow to serve as a ritual.
The Marquis of Lu didn't think it was different and said, "It's just right here, let's talk to you and I."
As he said that, he waved his hand and everyone around him retreated.
"Marty, what this person said is that the emperor's death is true?" Fang Xin asked with sorrow.
"What Yan Min said just now is indeed the truth. This marquis has obtained the news through three channels." The muscles on the marquis' face twitched: "From the future, the world will be in trouble."
"Well, what the marquis said is that the death of the emperor is a major event for the country. I am afraid that the government will be in turmoil for a period of time and the situation in the southwest is at a critical moment. If the court has too much trouble and the supply of money, grain, soldiers and armor is not enough, I am afraid..." At this point, Fang Xin stopped talking.
Originally, in ancient times, generals had the power to be arbitrary. In order to prevent generals from separating the generals, Da Chu stipulated that food and weapons and armor should be supplied by the court, and food should be supplied at most one month at a time to control the lifeline of the front-line combat troops. This was not a problem in normal times, but at this critical moment, it was amazing.
The Marquis of Lu nodded heavily, but he was much more straightforward than him: "This time, it's okay for other people to be the minister, but the cabinet is so wise, but it's a bit inappropriate. This is not to say that this person is not capable of it, but this person's foundation was a little shallow. He just entrusted by the late emperor with an important task. In order to establish his authority, he was afraid that he would focus on the court cabinet's struggle for power. In this case, the southwest will be deteriorated. The planning of the late emperor over the years will turn into flowing water!"
"Also, in recent years, the war situation in the southwest has been stalemate, and it has consumed 8 million taels of silver in the court. The treasury of the court has been empty. In addition, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused trouble to suppress the local areas. Even the late emperor has difficulty in taking steps. Therefore, after the prince ascended the throne, internal and external affairs are urgent, and it is afraid that it will be difficult to support the war in the southwest." When Lu Hou said this, he exuded a chill in his heart.
Fang Xin had already grasped this. He frowned and said in a deep thought: "If this is the case, the southwest must not be guaranteed. If the break is not done, if you want to withdraw, you are afraid that half of the power of the court will be dragged on the quagmire in the southwest. In this way, the court will be hollowed out in a few years. In this way, internal and external affairs will be in a bad form. It is better to make a quick decision and station heavy troops at the entrance to the southwest to defend and provide extra power to stabilize the government and the mainland. When the prince becomes an adult and cultivates for a few years, the Central Plains will naturally be recovered. Of course, the best way is to win a battle in the southwest, forcing the Southwest Barbarians to sign a peace agreement, and allow Banzhou to serve as a vassal state and surrender to the tribute."
"How easy is it to withdraw from the southwest? The great Chu country has never lost such a large land. Whoever writes a letter to retreat will find it difficult to maintain his career. In the end, he must issue an order in the name of a new king, for fear of it being harmful to the ruler's power. When the prince becomes an adult, how can he not be angry? As for the vassal states in the province and submit to the tribute, it is better to be decent, but I am afraid that it may not be able to do it!" The Marquis of Lu started and walked slowly in the narrow pavilion.
Fang Xin kept silent and was doing more here, so he realized how ridiculous the novels he read in his previous life were.
In the novels of previous life - when the country was founded, the monarch and ministers were always wise, but when the country was destroyed, the monarch and ministers were always foolish.
In fact, the group of people when the founding of the country was a temporary choice and came into being, but there will be no one in the world in the future? Strictly speaking, although the monarchs and ministers in later generations were not as strong as when they founded the country, their experience was much richer. Therefore, no matter when, compared with the fact, at most, there was no big gap between June and Four.
The real gap lies in the fact that the country enjoys the country for a long time, is complicated and has a stable force. Even the emperor is powerless and actually has difficulty in fighting against the huge class and the aging of the country.
In fact, it can be seen from the reforms of previous generations that reformers rarely have a good ending, and the power is slowly falling, and there is no more power to steal the sky and change the sun. This is the biggest problem.
However, officials are corrupt and soldiers are relaxed.
In novels throughout history, I thought that everything was in the heart of the king, and that as long as the emperor understood the problem, he could reform it. This is a joke in the world.
The sorrow of history is that it is clear but cannot be saved. Just like human aging, everyone knows it, but how many people can recover it?
If you save it, it is not a human being, but a god.
The family of the Lu Hou was elegant and elegant. At this time, he was wandering around the pavilion. It was obvious that he was feeling. Fang Xin was thinking. The Lu Hou had already stood still, looked at the starry sky, and asked dryly: "What are your rules of law? Let's talk about it."
"There is no way, I have already said that if you break it, you can maintain the vitality of the court for twenty years. As long as the prince becomes an adult, stabilizes the court situation, and wait for the natural disaster to survive, if you can understand the people's sentiments, take the people's will as the will of heaven, and tremble as if walking on thin ice to correct current problems, then there will be a day of revival, and then the southwest may be recovered." Fang Xin said.
"I have read your book. Your sentence - the teaching is benevolence, the transformation is etiquette, the teaching is not transformed, the sin is transformed, the transformation is not transformed, the violence is actually about the key points. If the southwest conquers again, this sentence must be used to be peaceful!" Lu Hou thought for a while, but said with a smile: "I think you will be highly valued by the court soon, for up to three years."
"Teaching is benevolence, transformation is etiquette, teaching but not transforming, sin, transformation but not teaching, violence - I am on this, I have great worries!" Fang Xin said slowly, as if he had other thoughts.
"Oh, let's hear it."
"The court conquered the southwest but it is difficult to maintain it now. However, the system and theory of our dynasty have been spread there. Rushi Mansi disdained it. Fortunately, Rushi Mansi also learned from our dynasty, divided the monarch and ministers, used laws and regulations, practiced politics, established counties, and raised large troops. Twenty years later, our dynasty would be revived. What else does Rushi Mansi have? Then..." Fang Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "Students have read the history books of the ages, and they have seen that Liang, Wei, Jin, and Chu are all in the pattern of Hu and Han, and they are deeply worried!"
After this Hu Yihan pattern, the Marquis of Lu was originally a step forward, but he was shocked when he heard this. He almost fell down. He immediately supported Zhuzi and shouted loudly: "Nonsense!"
Fang Xin said nothing.
However, the Marquis of Lu was also aware of it. Although he scolded him, he thought about it carefully and was really like this. After thinking about it, he glanced at Fang Xin and said coldly: "Li Rui, you are a master of learning and learning to learn about fate and have an insight into the past and present. You are extraordinary, but you should not speak nonsense."
"Of course the students dare not." Fang Xin replied.
"In your opinion, will this Mansi have a great disaster?" Lu Hou asked after taking a few more steps.
"It is very likely that it will see whether it has followed the Central Plains and established an official system. If so, it will be a big problem." Fang Xin replied: "The barbarians and establish an official system for a while will not only have no worries about being weak, but also the benefits of centralization will be difficult to fight against."
After hearing this, the Marquis of Lu looked at him deeply and said, "It's a strange man in the world. Li Rui, you have already been awarded a title, but you can get a wife of three equals, and there is still a lack of a wife of one equals. Are you willing to marry my daughter Shulan? She has a deep affection for you!"
"How dare Li Rui? Shu Lan is the daughter of the Marquis, so how can she be a fair wife?"
"I am not an unreasonable person. I am a fair wife or a wife. I will not ask you to divorce your wife. You and I are both real men. Can you decide in one word?" said Lu Hou decisively.
Fang Xin pondered for a moment, stood up, and knelt down: "Li Rui pays homage to his father-in-law."
"Okay, I will hold the wedding immediately. I will hold the wedding tomorrow. Don't wait for the imperial court to come out. Instead, I will wait for three years!" The Duke of Lu laughed and reached out to help him up and said, "I will ask for a son-in-law if I have a son-in-law like this."
When the emperor dies, the Yima will naturally send funerals to all provinces and counties in the world. This is a major funeral for the country. The subjects must mourn it for three years, so they are not allowed to get married.
When Fang Xin got up, the Hou Lu sighed and said, "You don't know yet that half of Anchang Province has fallen, and King Anchang has already ascended the throne."
"Oh, please let my father-in-law explain."
"King Anchang ascended the throne and imitated the dynasty, and the military and political integration were integrated. Twelve prefectures were organized. Ten households had one subordinate, one subordinate was established, one hundred households had one battalion, one battalion was established, one thousand households had one chief, one chief was established, and one chief was established, and ten thousand households had one governor. And the people fell, and counties were established to manage the Han people to farm!
Fang Xin heard this and couldn't help but take a breath. This was even more complete and advanced than the Manchus on Earth.
He said now: "This will lead to a disaster. However, I heard that King Anchang has no foundation, so why can he still rise to power?"
"King Anchang was originally the largest tribe in the southwest. The imperial court conquered the southwest and only split it into three tribes and could not be wiped out. This person was born in a direct line and was helped by the three tribes, so he was able to accomplish things. It is said that only 28 are now!" The Marquis of Lu said in a deep voice.
Fang Xin nodded to express his understanding, and then heard the Marquis of Lu say, "This Marquis probably cannot be intimate, but you will probably go to a dangerous place. You are currently in the sixth rank. I guess you will be a prefect in the mainland first and then transfer to the entrance of Anchang as the governor. Of course, this is also my Marquis' estimate. Maybe there is still a Ten, so I will remind you first."
Fang Xin smiled bitterly and had to say, "I will definitely not refuse to serve the court."
