Chapter 704 Dragon Slaying (Seventy-three)

In addition to Yang Guang's palace, there are many civil and military residences that accompany the sage to the south. At the beginning of the southern hunt, the northern residences were very tall and spacious, which not only meant favorable treatment, but also tried to make their residences similar to Chang'an to avoid the pain of homesickness. However, as time went by, most of the large houses in the city were now owned by southern ministers. Even the wealthy families of the Jiangnan gentry had their own houses in Jiang, they would give them land and houses to show the emperor's grace. As for the owners of these residences,

Either they were demoted or expelled, or they had already landed. When Yang Guang was the chief executive of Yangzhou, he gathered a large number of southern scholars as his aides, but most of them were civil officials and few military generals. The Sui Dynasty established the country with martial arts. The literati who were not familiar with fighting were inherently weak in the court. Even after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was

, these old ministers of the vassal residences were still difficult to be reused. Until this time, Yang Guang went south to see that these scholars in Jiangnan were able to be proud and had their own place in the court, and even could compete with the nobles of Guanlong. Compared with the Guanzhong nobles who were deeply ingrained in power, the scholars in Jiangnan who Yang Guang believed in lack of foundation, so they had to advance and retreat together to compete with them. In this way, a leader was naturally born, and everyone surrounded the leader, shaking flags and shouting for him, and the leader acted as a link, connecting these ministers into a front line, gathering the strength of the people to compete with the northern people for authority. Among them, the leader of the military man was naturally Duke Rong to protect his own, and the leader of the civil ministers was known as "the noble of the Southern Jin belonged to this person", and was also known as

Yu Shiji, the Internal History Minister of "Pan and Lu in this life". Yu Shiji was born in the Yu family of Kuaiji and was also a famous family in the southeast. He was smart and well-read the classics and history, and his reputation as a talented man was famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the Southern Chen destroyed the country, the prominent Yu family also declined. The family industry was destroyed by war.

Yu Shiji was forced to follow the army to enter Guanzhong and become a devastated citizen. Because his family was poor and could not support himself, he could only make a living by helping others copy books. It was not until Yang Guang prevailed in Yangzhou to recruit Yu Shiji as an aide that his life was better. As Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yu Shiji was gradually promoted. After Nanshou, he even joined Su Wei, Yu Wen Shu and others and became nobles in the court.

Yuwen Shu died of illness and Su Wei was expelled. Nowadays, most civil officials in the court respect Yu Shiji, and the scholars in Jiangnan only followed his horse.

At this moment, a storm was also brewing in Yu Shiji's mansion. Two civil servants with high crowns and broad belts looked at Yu Shiji anxiously. Among them, the older ones wiped their foreheads sweat while urging: "Mr. Mao, the situation is critical and cannot be delayed. I hope Mao Duke will make a decision early. I immediately planned to issue the imperial edict to send troops and civilians to the military, use Rong Guogong as the military governor, capture the rebel Yu Wenwen and others, and then send Yulin Palace to attack and kill Guanzhong Xiaoguo. If you hesitate, you are afraid that the situation will be gone.

It is hard to save it! It is related to the country and the lives of our people, and we should not hesitate!"

Like Yu Shiji, these two people were both civil officials from Jiangnan in the court. The older one was Pei Yun, the censor of the censor, and the younger one was Zhang Huishao of Jiangyang. Regarding his official status, Zhang Huishao could not compare with Pei Yun and Yu Shiji, and he was not qualified to sit in front of Yu Shiji. However, his father was Pei Ji, the secretary of the Southern Chen Shangshu, and Pei Yun was the son of Pei Ji, and the two were related. According to the rules from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, no matter whether he was civil or military officials, as long as he became a disciple of others, he would change from a court official to the other party's "private". The future of the official position was the responsibility of the benefactor, and he must be loyal to the benefactor. His children could also be regarded as a benefactor.

The "private" of children needs to serve the master family. The aristocratic family can control the world for a hundred years, allowing themselves to hold the power and have huge wealth, which is inseparable from this rule. With the war that destroyed the world, many rules were destroyed and even uprooted. In the past, the situation where the disciples now set up their own businesses and even surpassed the lord. As for whether to abide by this rule, it all depends on their own ideas.

.Zhang Huishao and Pei Yun both strictly abide by this ancient and strict family rules. Zhang Huishao regards himself as a visitor to Pei Yun, and Pei Yun also takes care of Zhang Huishao. Yu Shiji can only treat Zhang Huishao with courtesy. Zhang Huishao was naturally Pei Yun's sponsor. As Jiang Yang Ling, he had to give Pei Yun enough rewards. Therefore, because of frequent exchanges between the two, either by letters or by sending close servants to each other, Zhang Huishao himself stole into Jiang from time to time.

Everyone paid a visit to the benefactor to show that they did not forget the root of the matter. However, even Pei Yun himself did not expect that the reward Zhang Huishao gave him was not wealth, land, and it was actually a big conspiracy that was toppled. "Su Liu, a Han of the Xiaoguo Army, was a child of Guanzhong, but had some connection with the Xiaguan. He was a wanderer who followed the trade south and was taken to the official after drinking. He was a judge and was killed after the law. He should be punished. Seeing that he was a hero, the Xiaguan showed mercy and secretly stole him.

Let it go. I thought it was just a favor, but I didn't expect this guy to be a conscientious person, and I didn't expect that he actually knew where to live in Xiaguan City." Zhang Huishao introduced the situation to Yu Shiji, and was afraid that the other party would not believe it, so he said it in detail: "I came to Xiaguan's residence early this morning and told me about this great rebellious matter. After being released by Xiaguan, this guy became a general in Yuwen and the mansion with his courage and courage, and even killed many people for Yuwen. Brother Yuwen attracted him as his confidant and would not hide it from him if he had any problems. The two brothers had already planned to stop and led troops to the evening to rebel, leading troops into the palace to invade.

All the victories in the Guanzhong are their wings. Once activated, they will be a huge crisis. The only way to take action is to take the initiative." Pei Yun said: "Yes! Brother Yuwen has little plan and no wisdom, and he has lost his life. They only think about rebellion, but have never taken care of themselves. The two brothers are still in the city, which is the biggest flaw. No matter how many soldiers he has outside, as long as we

Take the initiative first and kill the head of his family. Tens of thousands of bandits will be defeated without fighting! Maogong please immediately issue an edict to send troops to kill the thieves, and do not delay!" Unlike the Guanlong nobles who started their business through martial arts, these scholars in Jiangnan still maintained their former elegance and demeanor despite the troubled times. They pay special attention to appearance in their daily lives, and should be calm and calm when encountering major events, and should not lose their demeanor. Pei Yun

As a famous family, he is the best among them. However, Pei Yun could no longer maintain his demeanor, his eyes were full of fire and his throat was exhausted, and he almost fell into madness. He wanted to follow Yu Shiji and let him act according to his own wishes. The two of them advanced and retreated in the court, and they had a deep friendship with each other, which was not like this. However, today Yu Shiji's performance disappointed Pei Yun and became angry. From hearing Zhang Huishao's report to the present, Yu Shiji has not

A clear statement, not even a single word, just nodding. If it weren't for sure that he was listening, Pei Yun even suspected that he had not woken up yet, or had made the old habit of famous scholars in Jiangnan again, and secretly "taken away". As a partner in the court, Pei Yun knew Yu Shiji's methods. To put it nicely, he could be considered "calm when encountering things". To be honest, he was panicked when encountering things and didn't know what to do. Although the Yu family of Kuaiji is also a famous family

Unfortunately, the prominent family declined too early. Yu Shiji's lack of experience was not enough to rank high. Forced to be taken to this position will inevitably harm others and oneself. In the past, he could barely maintain his favor by calculating the superior intention, but now he is really a bit difficult to deal with the traitor. However, he has already figured out a solution for him, and he just needs to do it.

, Why is this still the case?

Just when Pei Yun couldn't help but want to say "I'm afraid of the rest of my body", Yu Shiji finally spoke.

"Sage... The saint is afraid that he will not summon us to the guests in the mysterious building today. How can he send troops without the saint's will?" "How can he follow the power in an urgent matter? The saint's edict is originally written by Duke Mao. What is the difference between your edict and a saint's edict? Duke Rong is a wise man. As long as he knows the pros and cons, he will definitely send troops to fight against the thieves! Wait for the thieves to be killed and destroyed by the thieves!

, The saints must be rewarded and will never blame Mao Gong!"

"The intention of the public office, let me make the edict?" Yu Shiji's brows were deeply locked, and after a while, he asked this question. Pei Yun's breathing was suffocated, and he endured it and continued to persuade him: "It's not a edict, but a rescue. Once tens of thousands of tigers and wolves mutiny, they are afraid that a great disaster will be in front of them. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. Mao Gong is familiar with the classics and history, and the middle way is the way.

There is no need to say too much about the reason." "Forgery of edicts is to forge edicts, no matter what the reason is, it is a serious crime." Yu Shiji shook his head: "It is a public service to draw edicts on behalf of the saints on a daily basis. Although the edicts are written by me, the words are all the thoughts of the saints. Today, the saints have not issued an edict, so how dare I do it.

To make a guess? Besides, according to the two masters' plan, it is not a trivial matter to kill the Yuwen brothers without the imperial edict. Let me ask, where is the Xiaoguo Su Liu now?"

Zhang Huishao hurriedly said, "He was afraid that Brother Yuwen would find the clues, so he left in a hurry after sending the message." "That's it. There is no evidence or physical evidence, how can he kill important officials without any evidence? Su Liu did not know the truth or falsehood of his words, and he would kill important officials casually, but he would betray him. If the ministers in the court attacked him, how can you and I handle themselves? If this example is open, everyone in the court will be in danger in the future, and there will be no peace in Jiangdu City. As for those tens of thousands of northern fruits, not everyone will be rebellious, and they will not make any noise. But if they blindly use their military power, even a loyal person can only fight to survive.

There are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left to rebel. When it reaches that point, it is really out of control. We are also criminals of the court. Who can bear such a serious crime?"

Pei Yun then understood what Yu Shiji said. He did not believe that Xiaoguo Army would rebel, nor did he not want to follow his plan. He just didn't want to take responsibility. After all, this moody emperor was too casual, and even his close friends could not understand his temper. Especially the palace incident not long ago, the Chinese civil and military officials in the court were even more frightened. Compared to the tyrant, people

The casual monarch who cannot be understood makes it difficult to get close to him, and he dare not serve him. The palace maid who entered the palace late at night lost his life inexplicably. The general of the Xiaoguo Army was not punished, but instead no longer pursued all the previous illegal acts. The emperor's behavior became increasingly difficult to understand, and the merits and demerits were all based on his own will and did not follow the law. Yu Shi

Ji was obviously afraid that his achievements in fighting rebellion would not be as good as the crime of forgery, and he lost his life in a confused manner.

This... a fool! Pei Yun could hardly help but curse and wake up Yu Shiji. Didn't he know that although the edict might die, once he sat on the scene, he could not escape death. Those Guanzhong people had long seen their own gangs

People in Jiangnan don’t like it. If Xiaoguo’s army is allowed to come in, will they still have their own life? But before Pei Yun spoke, Yu Shiji had already stood up and said, “It’s important to be a long-term plan. Mr. Zhang should investigate carefully and wait until we have evidence in our hands before taking action. I am in chaos at this moment, so I won’t leave the second master to sit for a long time. Let’s do our own thing.”
