Chapter 294 Brilliant is very good, come back next time
In Qin Leyin's memory, Qin Xiao was not the rough and strong Tianji man as rumored.
He was gentle and elegant, like a friendly uncle next door. He was even a bit chatty and could chat with anyone for a long time. When Qin Leyin met him for the first time, he was teaching a few little kids to read in the outer city of Xuanzhu County.
"Hui Yao Fu".
Seeing the inconspicuous bruises on Qin Leyin's body, he didn't say anything, but suddenly changed the cultural class to a combat class to teach a few brats how to cause effective damage to adults under the suppression of their height. That day he was beaten by a brat
The children knocked him down several times and treated everyone to mung bean soup.
After Qin Leyin returned, he used the tricks he learned on the street to knock down his father for the first time.
His father was very surprised, and then used tactics to beat Qin Leyin even worse.
When Qin Leyin went to Qin Xiao with a bruised face and a swollen nose, Qin Xiao seemed to have been prepared. He called a medical officer to help Qin Leyin treat him, and then began to teach him fighting methods.
A spy who likes to deceive children, this is Qin Leyin's initial impression of Qin Xiao.
"Actually, Tianji's killing of officials and rebellion happens every few years, so there's nothing surprising about it." Bai Jing said: "Yan Jingdu regards people who go to Tianji as officials as sacrifices, and when the people of Tianji kill the sacrifices,
Naturally it will die down."
"But that year was different."
Le Yu: "What's different?"
"The political situation is different." Bai Jing said: "The late emperor wanted to reform and revitalize the stagnant water of Huiyao. The factions in the imperial court were at odds with each other but they refused to let the royal family usurp their interests, so Tianji became a breakthrough."
"The imperial guards of Yanjing cannot move, so the imperial court plans to mobilize elite soldiers from the seven districts to form a new army to conquer the sky. Because the imperial guards have long been contaminated and infiltrated by the imperial officials, the late emperor wanted to form an army that would obey his orders and have combat capabilities.
, the outer area coalition army is the best choice."
"And the factions in the imperial court did not object. Although everyone knew the emperor's thoughts, this move could weaken the combat power of the outer area. The Yanjing family, which was worried about the wealthy families in the outer area, was naturally willing. Moreover, the feast of the new army was really
Will it be exclusively used by the emperor? Everyone has their own motives and passed this decree."
"For a time, the other seven districts except Tianji all sent troops to support Yanjing, forming a new army of 30,000. The interesting point is that the reason why the late emperor had the confidence to form a new army was indispensable to Qin Xiao's contribution."
Le Yu was a little stunned: "What does this have to do with Qin Xiao?"
"His tinkering with Yanjing in those years made the national treasury rich again. In addition, Qin Xiao's contribution was indispensable in connecting railways, repairing bridges and roads, etc."
"Without him, the new army would never have been able to be established so quickly, and this proposal would not even have been passed."
Bai Jing laughed, but there was no smile in his voice: "It's ridiculous. It was precisely because of his efforts that the imperial court had the confidence to form a new army and annihilate his hometown."
Le Yu couldn't help but ask: "In fact, wouldn't it be better to suppress the rebellion? Why do we have to launch annihilation?"
Annihilation, you can see the cruelty of this word just from the word - it means killing all adults who have the ability to resist, leaving only children.
Hui Yao rarely launches annihilation wars unless it is fighting against barbarians, but even fighting against barbarians is rare because thousands of years of defense have maimed the barbarians.
But in the early days of Huiyao's founding, the term "war of annihilation" was quite common - after all, Huiyao's Eighth District was not free of charge. Rather than persuading the savages, the Huiyao people were more willing to completely eliminate all barbarians.
For the regular army, even if the barbarians can hide in the barren mountains and it is difficult for the army to pass through, they only need to send out an elite team of warriors who have entered the palace to eliminate those barbarians who have not practiced warfare once and for all.
Bai Jing shook off the cigarette ashes and said: "If we suppress the rebellion, we don't need new troops at all. We can just let the Tianji army suppress it on their own. It will be a little time-consuming and laborious at most, but after all, it is a local army, so the effect is better."
"Perhaps the formation of a new army requires some training through war, or the imperial court is impatient with the frequent civil unrest in Tianji District and wants to solve the problem once and for all, and does not want to continue the previous soft policy... Of course, there are also
Maybe it was the whim of the big shots."
"Anyway, there are no officials from Tianji in the imperial court. To destroy a group of people who have nothing to do with me but who often make trouble, of course no one cares...except him."
"It wasn't until Qin Xiao came forward at the court meeting that everyone knew he was actually from Tianji."
Bai Jing shrugged: "How can an ant be used as a car? All the friends who are familiar with him, including me, advise him not to be stubborn. How can he resist the power of the court? You are an orphan in Tianji and you have no family. Even if you have one,
You just take it, why are you contradicting the nobles in the house?"
"If you disagree with something that everyone agrees on, who are you?"
"Then he let everyone know who he was."
"He used his connections. He could not only use lubricants to make Yanjing's old rusty machine run, but he also had a way to make it malfunction. Although he did not dare to openly support Qin Xiao, his friend—
—including me—all slowed down the pace of the new army’s expedition.”
"At that time, either the railway derailed or the sun lamp failed and no one replaced it. The preparation of food, grass, ordnance, clothing, and all materials was delayed, which successfully delayed the speed of the new army."
"Of course, these things are just to delay time. Qin Xiao's real purpose is to find Jun Zuo, the loyal guard."
Le Yu was startled: "Zhongwei Junzuo?"
Bai Jing nodded: "It is said that every Zhongwei Junzuo is a person who has a close relationship with the royal family. Only Zhongwei Junzuo can directly influence the court's decision-making. No one knows whether he found Zhongwei Junzuo, but the result is,
The annihilation war was cancelled, Tianji suppressed the rebellion on its own, and Qin Xiao, who was in great glory for a while, was dispatched to Dongyang District."
"As for what he did in Dongyang, you know better than me."
Yes, Le Yu knew very well what Qin Xiao had done in Dongyang.
He brought hookah and directly poisoned an entire generation of the Silver Blood Society.
He conspired with Jing Qingfu to try to unite government and businessmen to destroy the Silver Blood Society.
Both Le Yu and Qin Leyin thought Qin Xiao was an ambitious politician. But now, Le Yu has a new understanding of him.
Suddenly, Le Yu's heart moved and asked: "How did he die?"
This is both Le Yu's problem and Qin Leyin's problem. Among the many purposes of Qin Leyin coming to Yanjing, one of them is to first investigate the cause of Qin Xiao's death and then avenge him.
"The late emperor thought that Qin Xiao was a talented person, and he was also a talented person who offended many factions. He wanted to call Qin Xiao back to be his lone minister." Bai Yu said softly: "But others are afraid of him."
"fear?"
Bai Jing exhaled a wisp of light smoke: "Qin Xiao's ability exposed when slowing down the new army made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty wary. He could mobilize all departments in Yanjing by himself, which means that if the emperor directly
By clearing out all the ministers in the court and even the entire cabinet, Qin Xiao has the ability to keep the court running!"
"Moreover, he has no family, no wife or daughter, so he poses no threat to the imperial power. He will become the royal family's sharpest sword and strongest shield!"
"Who is not afraid of an emperor who is determined to reform and a great man who has no worries?"
"Qin Xiao returned to the capital and stayed idle for a year, shining brightly on the four guards. The imperial factions and the royal family also secretly clashed with each other for a year. A small person like me doesn't know what exchange of interests they reached, but the result was that Qin Xiao was imprisoned and charged with
For the reverse."
"inverse?"
"That is, to win people's hearts and plot evil."
Le Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Is this how good people get rewarded?"
"When I went to see him in prison, I asked him the same question." Bai Jie also smiled: "Guess what? He actually nodded and said that this is good people getting rewarded."
"If it weren't for the relationship he had established before, how could he have slowed down the pace of the new army? If it hadn't been for his hard work and merit, how could Junzuo be willing to block the court's decision-making?"
"Every effort is rewarded, and good people are rewarded. This is fair."
"He said his biggest regret was that he learned the news too late. If he was given enough time to operate, he might be able to become the marshal of the new army and turn the funeral into a happy event... But even Junzuo didn't agree to his offer.
Request, because the emperor will not hand over the new army to someone who disagrees with him."
The cigarette butt was extinguished, and Bai Jing was unaware and murmured: "After all, it was a conversation ten years ago. I have forgotten a lot of the content, but I still remember that I asked him if he had any regrets?"
The voice of the prisoner changed, as if he was repeating someone's words: "Regret is inevitable, I just want to be clear in my heart."
"I am a mediocre person. Being able to use my life to end a war is already worth it. Isn't it that we save our lives just to risk ourselves for a certain reason at a certain time?"
"Haha, I haven't seen you look like this for a long time. Normally after you look at me like I'm looking at a fool, I would tell you the benefits of doing this good deed... But I'm sorry, this time it's really
There are no real benefits. If I have to say it, I can only say that I am very happy."
"Yeah, how can good people get good rewards? How can this world be so fair? Good people get good rewards. It's just a lie used by rulers to maintain civil stability, a curse used by literati and poets to exploit civilians... and the simple wishes of ordinary people.
.”
"I don't want to be a hero, I just want to be an expert who can solve ordinary people's problems and do things in a down-to-earth manner. But I don't know why I got to this point. Maybe it's God's will."
"Huh? Haha, the secret of 'good people are rewarded' is of course a lie to you. Did you just realize it now?"
"As for why I do this... of course it's because I know that everyone is selfish. In other words, how can there be a selfless person?"
"But selfishness and selflessness are not opposites. They can tolerate each other... Since everyone is selfish, then I will give you a reason to do good things with self-interest. The effect is not bad, isn't it?
"
"Of course I do so many things because I want to stand out, be famous, have power, and... I am very patriotic."
"You're looking at me with that look again... Indeed, I am a Skyrim orphan, a prisoner, and a victim of political struggle. What qualifications do I have to say such high-sounding words?"
"Nowadays, everyone likes to be selfish. Of course, this is because of the world. Only selfish people can survive. All selfless people have died long ago... Moreover, shouldn't patriotism be the right of big people, like orphans?
, butchers, workers and other low-level people, what qualifications do they have to be patriotic?"
"I thought the same way when I was a child, until I met the man walking with only half of his body left on that rainy night. He exhausted his last bit of life and begged me to pass on information."
"At that time, I suddenly realized that there are some things that are above life. What the walking person passed on to me was not only information, but also his will."
"I hide this will in my heart. The older I grow, the stronger my will becomes. The glorious culture, history, hard-working people, and magnificent buildings are all embedded in my heart. But since the world is like this
, I can only adapt to the world and use selfish methods to do selfless things."
"I am not loyal to the court, the four guards, or the royal family, but only to Huiyao. I hope that this land and the people living on it can live better and better, and no longer be tormented by hunger, cold, war, and exploitation.
"
"Bail me, please stop crying, it's really ugly... Also, you don't need to follow me because I'm moved, you just have to fulfill your duty. This world doesn't need heroes, it only needs experts. If everyone does their own thing,
With his duties, the world would have been at peace long ago."
"Don't resent the emperor and Jun Zuo. Jun Zuo has no obligation to continue to save me. The emperor is an ambitious man, but his ambition can make the world a better place. My death is inevitable, maybe because I have done so much
A good thing, so I can live a few more years."
"That student of mine may come to Yanjing in the future. You can just take care of him... Maybe you don't need to take care of him. He is also a cruel person."
"So really don't cry. You're making me cry. Although I said I regret it, if I could do it all over again, I would still look like this."
"You have to work hard for what you want to do, so even if you fail, you can blame the world instead of yourself."
"I live for my justice and I die for my justice."
"Hui Yao is very good, I will come again next time."
After saying hello, there was only silence in the bedroom.
After a while.
Le Yu suddenly realized that Bai Jing asked not to turn on the lights, perhaps because he had foreseen this moment.
After a while, Bai Jie said in his usual voice: "I said all this, not to ask Hong Le for you to inherit his will, but to let you know the past history."
"Faced with a game that requires the sacrifice of life, what kind of consciousness have you made? After knowing Qin Xiao's fate, are you really still willing to squeeze into this life-and-death political struggle?"
Le Yu felt that worshiping prison was very confusing.
He was pleasantly surprised that Qin Leyin and Qin Xiao had the same characteristics, but he was also afraid that he would personally send Qin Xiao's only student to death, so he found Qin Leyin on the eve of the war and told Qin Leyin everything he had concealed, so that Qin Leyin could
Sanctioning him - whether he agrees or refuses, is punishment for him.
Just when Le Yu was thinking about how to answer, suddenly a broken sound came from outside.
Bang bang bang bang——
The dim lights outside the window were extinguished one by one, and for a moment the entire bedroom was dark and lightless, as if I was in an abyss!
Immediately afterwards, they heard a creaking sound from the door.
