Kim Fu-sik returned to Kaijing with 78 heads and 30,000 troops, and asked Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, to grant the right to attack with axes and axes. Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, who spent more than half of his life in Li Ziqian's era, did not have any superfluous reaction.
On the one hand, he issued an edict to recognize the nobles of Xijing as rebels, and on the other hand, he directly agreed to Jin Fushi's request, which can be regarded as a proper response.
Immediately, the two sides held a formal ax ceremony in the palace. There was no chaos in the whole process, and there was no unnecessary communication between the monarch and his ministers. It was as if Jin Fushi had really followed Wang Kai's order to return to Xijing to quell the chaos and then go out to conquer the Jurchens.
Even the army below, two classes of nobles, and even the people did not express much.
The reason is very simple. In the twenty years before Goryeo, more than ten years were the era of Li Ziqian's dictatorship... The existence of that era made everyone know where they should go. The king knew how to be patient and go with the flow; the nobles knew how to rely on and rely on.
Stand in line and know how to gain benefits; the people know that the matter has nothing to do with them and ignore it.
In fact, this is also the reason why Kim Fu-shi dared to do this. At this stage, Goryeo had the tradition of powerful ministers, and because the two classes were linked to each other, they were almost integrated. Even if the powerful ministers were eradicated, it would be difficult to hold the family accountable... For example,
Li Ziqian's nephew is still an important minister of the country, and he is an important figure in the Jin Fushi faction who participated in overthrowing Li Ziqian.
However, when Marshal Jin finished the matter of opening the capital (arranging personal arrangements and arranging backup), and then led the 30,000 main Goryeo army out of the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little scared... Although he himself had been prepared for all this, and he also knew the probability of success.
It's very high, but I still feel anxious.
Because, he was naturally sure of the situation in Goryeo, but the situation outside was turbulent and he had no control at all. Moreover, it was because of changes in the external situation that he launched this incident that was close to a coup.
It is really difficult to hold the power of a small country!
However, even so, Jin Fushi continued to wear a toga, rode in a car, and gritted his teeth to supervise the army and headed west toward the Yalu River.
In early March of the 10th year of Jianyan, Goryeo officially launched a war against Jinfa and entered Liaodong.
Among them, the first one to bear the brunt is Posu Road (on both sides of the Yalu River). This road is home to a large number of Bohai tribes, and there are also many Koreans. After the Jurchens succeeded, the Pusan tribe of the Jurchen core tribe has been stationed here. After Huolu died,
Before Pusan Beilu was transferred to Wanhu, he had been serving as the envoy of this route all year round... So it is self-evident what state the Pusan Department was in at this time.
It is completely conceivable that next, the Koreans are likely to directly advance to threaten the hinterland of Liaodong, and the Hebul Khan of Eastern Mongolia will also send troops to attack the Zhongjing Road and threaten the western Liaoning Passage. The Zhao Guan family is eager to see the kind of victory without spending troops and horses.
The drama of forcing the Jurchens to lose ground and actively exposing their flaws is about to take place.
However, before watching this great drama, a novel appeared in Hejian Mansion, and the protagonist of the novel was none other than the Zhao Guan family himself.
"What's this?"
In Jingcheng, Zhao Jiu, who had just finished breakfast in the small courtyard where he lived and was about to go out for fishing, asked Hu Yin, the visiting minister of the Ministry of Industry, in shock, because as soon as Hu Mingzhong came in, he asked Zhao Guan's family to get rid of the left and right, even Liu Yan, who was on duty today.
He and Shao Chengzhang both went out, but after excluding others, only a stack of manuscripts were handed over.
"This is an 'official article' written by an important official." Hu Yin was much more serious this time. "I don't have enough literary talent, but my speed is still good. I copied many story sections, and this first article has been completed."
Already."
Zhao Jiu was speechless, but he immediately showed his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Hu Qing."
"The officials might as well take a look first." Hu Yin suddenly smiled. "Give me an evaluation."
Seeing the usually serious Hu Mingzhong suddenly burst into laughter last time and today, Zhao Guanjia was frightened for a moment, but he could only bite the bullet and read... And Zhao Jiu read the novel at such a speed, it took only half a stick of incense to read ten lines at a glance.
After reading this story, the whole yard became silent.
Without him, the plot of this "official novel" is too simple and straightforward.
What it says is that after a certain official won a victory, he conquered the whole country and conquered the barbarians. However, he was worried that the meritorious officials would take the credit and cause chaos, so he often criticized him, so he wrote a satirical article. The result was a satire on a prince who established an Eight-Character Army in Taihang.
At that time, the prince had a strong temper and committed suicide by taking poison to prove his innocence.
And there was a commander named Fan in the old department of the county prince, who was also a loyal man. In anger, he went to Taihang Mountain again. What followed was Xue Gang's plan to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, forcing the old and loyal officials to come to conquer.
, he was accidentally shot to death with an arrow and died. Immediately, all the princes led marshals and princes to fight for the throne, and the world fell apart. Then Fan Tongzhi cheated all the way and took the opportunity to save a real dragon, and then became the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Character Army.
Wang Suo regained his honor.
Of course Zhao Jiu knew what this article was mocking, but after being silent for a long time, he was still a little unconvinced, so he finally spoke:
"Why didn't Ming Zhong say anything that day?"
"Do the officials want to hear the truth, or do they want to hear lies?" Hu Yin finally became solemn again.
"How about a lie?" Zhao Jiuqiang responded with a joking smile.
"It's a lie. I knew it that day. I just wanted to use my own spear to attack my own shield. I waited until this joke was finished." Hu Yin stood with his hands folded, his expression unchanged.
"What's the truth?"
"The truth is, I was tricked by the officials that day." Hu Yin remained calm. "Although I woke up immediately later, I thought that now that the victory was great, the sea was boiling, and the officials were so proud and arrogant that they directly
The advice could not lead to any bad consequences, so I borrowed a boat to carve a sword, and when the officials calmed down a little, I wrote it as a satire."
"How can a smart person like you be fooled by my frivolous behavior that harms the country?" Zhao Jiu listened for a long time, then suppressed his emotions and smiled, but he still felt that Hu Yin was a bit bullying.
"The officials..." Hu Yin also remained calm. "There are many reasons why I was fooled by the officials... The first one is that Mr. Zhao was almost shot to death in the ditch by the Qin King's subordinates that day, and Qu Duan's subordinate generals beat him up.
Dozens of lashes. King Lu also had a history of shielding the Vegetable-eating Demon Cult. These things were vivid in his mind and must not be faked. In addition, the official said that he could no longer endure what he had endured in the past ten years.
I thought that the stories that the officials wanted to write were not only to avoid the past, but also to punish the past... In other words, I once thought that these deeds were true and had been revealed, so the officials tolerated them.
"
Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, but finally admitted: "I do have the intention to punish the past, but it is mainly to protect the future...the story is not that true."
"This is the problem." Hu Yin couldn't help but exclaimed. "If you write this article to punish the past, it will naturally be regarded as teaching. But if you write this article to save the future, is it considered teaching or punishment?"
Zhao Jiu moved his body in his seat to cover up the deep irritability in his heart. Of course, he also knew that it was useless to pretend in front of Hu Mingzhong: "I thought that based on Han Liangchen's open-mindedness, and the relationship between me and him,
The friendship between a king and his ministers does not end there...it is just a story after all."
"Han Liangchen is indeed more than that. He is angry in private. He thinks of the official articles and dares not to find any more servants." Hu Yin nodded in approval. "What about being a king? Can you really bear it? What about the king of Jin? The king of Wei...
"
"Didn't the King of Wei dislike the fact that the prince-in-law received too many blows from the military stick?" Zhao Jiu was completely helpless. "It's true that I didn't think everything through, but didn't you also laugh at the King of Wei?"
"That's because I came from the Wei King's army and knew that the prince-in-law was beaten with military sticks every day, so I informed him on the spot. How would outsiders know if they heard what he said?" Hu Yin didn't have time to ask.
Zhao Jiu remained silent for a long time before asking the calm Hu Mingzhong: "In the final analysis, it's just a sentence. Why did you insist that I was taking advantage of the past and take into consideration the future, and yet be so sarcastic today?"
"This brings us to the remaining two reasons." Hu Yin was not confused at all. "In the official family, how can any minister not be grateful for the right of private remonstrance granted by the official family? In fact, the Japanese minister already felt that something was wrong.
, but was knocked unconscious by another punch from the official."
"I'm really good at it. I knocked out the famous national official Hu Mingzhong with two punches." Zhao Jiu didn't know whether to laugh at himself or to be sarcastic. "It's comparable to Lu Zhishen."
"It's not just two punches, the main reason is that I have internal injuries." Hu Yin took a step forward with a straight face and forced him over. "The official...the reason why I was confused by the official for a while, those are all secondary reasons, the real reason
What makes the minister willing to believe that the official method is feasible and willing to accept it is that he knows what the official is thinking from the beginning."
Zhao Jiu's heart finally moved slightly, and he looked at the other party seriously, waiting for the answer.
"Your Majesty," Hu Yin sighed and expressed emotion. "When I read that story, I immediately thought of one thing that the officials had to do even when the country was in danger starting from the second year of Jianyan, including the third year.
...I also remember the words used by the officials at that time, 'release the person'!"
Zhao Guanjia's expression finally softened.
"The officials of the Qin Dynasty made it very clear that King Jade Guanyin and Zhang Jun were greedy for money. They wanted the story to be told that these people had no malice or disgust, but that the exposure of their temperament or even a single oversight could lead to the destruction of their families." Hu Yin
There was a slight pause. "When I was dealing with military supplies around the Chinese New Year this year, I thought about it... What is the purpose of devoting all our national resources to the war? It is to restore peace. But what happens after peace is restored?"
"The presence of the Jin Kingdom means that the internal and external forces are overwhelming. The defeat of the Jin Kingdom means that the people above and below are the most touching." Zhao Jiu took the words, took the initiative to summarize for the other party, and took advantage of the situation to dismount. "My original intention is to remind the people of the world that the internal and external affairs are the most important.
, even up and down, but it was done too hastily and used improperly... We should wait until the Yellow River is regulated and the original learning is stable, and then do this slowly."
"That's what I mean." Hu Yin admitted frankly. "However, it is precisely because I know the compassion and concern of the officials in my heart that I am confident. But this matter is really more than that...
"
"What should I say?" Zhao Jiu, who was in a better mood, sounded much kinder.
"There is no other intention." Hu Yin stood there with his hands tied and added softly. "I just want to say that while the officials pride themselves on being compassionate, I am afraid they have just forgotten that when it comes to superiors and inferiors, the officials themselves are the highest.
"
Zhao Jiu looked up in shock.
But Hu Mingzhong only did not see it, but continued to speak clearly and calmly stood in the spring breeze and spoke:
"So your majesty's negligence can also lead to the ruin of the prince and his family, and a mistake can even cause the world to fall apart... Your majesty, if we talk about the top and bottom, all the kings are under the official family, and if we talk about the world, all the kings also belong to the world.
Part of it... Just as knowing that the official's intentions were good was the root of the confusion of the day, so after the official's victory, Xunxun kept forgetting the matter, which was also the root of the minister's daring not to offend Long Yan... Your Majesty,
When running a big country, please be careful when cooking small dishes, and ask officials to protect themselves.
After saying this, Hu Mingzhong walked away, leaving only "Fan Tongzhi Returns to Taihang Ji" and Zhao Guanjia, who had been sitting for a long time and was speechless.
On this day, Zhao Guan's family just went out in the afternoon, but he did not go fishing or update his novel. He just blew the spring breeze on the river for half a day.
PS: Thanks to Guan Jia for still remembering Chu (Long) (I remember, but you, me and she are old), and to the boss Gao Lengniao for being so cute. These are the 221st and 222nd cuteness in this book.
