Chapter 56 The battle of the court
In the Jiade Hall, with a bang, the Qilin paperweight carved from white marble was smashed by Liu Hong.
"Haha, okay!" Liu Hong's pale face showed a morbid blush. Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, he said in a sequel: "My good ministers are all full of knowledge and are full of armor and soldiers. Which wise man can tell me why in just one month, bandits are everywhere in the world?"
Since the last court discussion, although Luoyang has calmed down, thieves have been swarming everywhere in the Han Dynasty. First, the remnants of Yellow Turbans in Runan rose again, and then a large number of rebels appeared in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Yanzhou counties, which made it impossible for local taxes to be transported to Luoyang in time. From July to August, in just one month, the Han Dynasty, who had been calm for a period of time, seemed to have been in full swing again.
Liu Hong had to drag his sick body to court, but looked at the rioters all over the world above the war report, as if in just one month, he was back to the rebellion of the Taiping Sect. Even though he was mentally prepared, Liu Hong still felt angry.
Yuan Wei stood in the court with his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He Jin scratched his head. The current situation made him feel a little bad, but what was wrong, and He Jin couldn't say anything.
Lu Zhi's face was gloomy. Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Wei, then at He Jin, and sighed. The scholar really turned over the table.
Seeing that no one answered, Ye Zhao stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since it is a rebellion, it is not a solution for us to discuss here. I am willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion!"
"What are your countermeasures?" Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Zhao come out. He was really afraid of singing a one-man show.
"Why do you need some thieves?" Ye Zhao sneered: "Although the bandits in the world cannot be eradicated immediately, the court can choose some big attacks. Then the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan escaped by chance. They did not want to hide, but dared to jump out and suppress them first. Since the court gave them the opportunity, they would not take me. I am willing to lead the army to fight in person and completely kill the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to shock the little ones!"
As soon as Ye Zhao said that he was full of murderous intent. Since the aristocratic families dared to overturn the table, they would chop off their hands. It was only a matter of three. Since the promotion of books and printing technology has developed to this point, Ye Zhao would never allow him to be suppressed again.
All the officials and ministers of the court were shocked by Ye Zhao's murderous tone.
Looking at Ye Zhao's past participation in the war, in addition to his early ruthless attacks against foreign races, he went to the Central Plains to fight. Although his military achievements were great, they were all focused on comforting and surrendering, but the killing was not heavy. Many people forgot that the person in front of him was a man who became ruthless and dared to set fire to the city. Macheng was in a big fire. Except for the elites of the Xianbei royal court, I don't know how many people were buried with him in that fire.
This time, Ye Zhao was obviously going to kill someone.
"The Weiwei is also a garrison of the palace and the important task of prosecuting the military and political affairs. How can he leave Luoyang easily?" Yuan Wei opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.
"I am not taking Luoyang official troops to suppress the rebellion." Ye Zhao said to Liu Hong with a gentle school: "Your Majesty, I heard that the general had sent someone to Danyang to recruit more than 10,000 elite soldiers. I am willing to lead this army to fight against the thieves. The defense of Luoyang can be controlled by Your Majesty himself for the time being."
Danyang is a place where elite soldiers were sent. He Jin sent Wu Qiu Yi to recruit soldiers two years ago. The Danyang soldiers belonged to He Jin and were one of He Jin's trump cards. Now Ye Zhao is seeking troops from He Jin like this. If the Danyang elite soldiers come, He Jin's troops will be greatly reduced. In addition, the eight schools in the city are about to be in the city, Liu Hong will have enough strength to crush He Jin in Luoyang.
No matter how stupid He Jin was, he could hear the problem. If the Danyang elite soldiers were transferred away, he would become meat on the chopping board. He quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, no, Danyang elite soldiers were formed soon. If they go to the battlefield at this time, the losses will be huge. Moreover, without training, they cannot be enforced, which will delay the military opportunity."
"What the General said is not without reason. Then don't bring Danyang soldiers. Can the General transfer the troops of the Yulin Army and the Five Northern Army schools to the subordinates?" Ye Zhao looked at He Jin and said with a smile.
"If it is uneasy today, there are riots everywhere, and the Five Northern Army and the Yulin Army have the responsibility to defend the capital, so they should not be moved lightly. Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is the right thing to order the governors of various states and prefects to spontaneously gather troops to eliminate the bandits." Yuan Wei looked at Liu Hongdao.
"When it comes to this matter..." Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Wei, suddenly showed a sneer, turned to look at Liu Hong and said, "During the five states, the governors of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, the prefectures and counties grew up. I think that the prefects of these prefectures and prefectures may have any moral impairment, which will lead to the difficulties of the people under their rule, and the prefectures will be full of bandits and bandits. These prefectures will be blamed for the prefects. The court should immediately send virtuous people to take over. The generals of the prefectures and counties will sit and watch the bandits disturb the territory and remain indifferent, which will shake our Han Dynasty. These five states should abolish the state and patriarch system, and the prefectures and counties will return to the court to take over!"
Yuan Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Ye Zhao with a stern look. Ye Zhao sneered at Yuan Wei: "I wonder what the Grand Tutor thinks?"
"Wei Wei's words are a bit too serious. The governors of the five prefectures and prefects may be suspected of being dereliction of duty. However, they are all virtuous people, how can they be easily replaced?" Yuan Wei bowed and said, "I hope your majesty think twice."
"Your Majesty." Ye Zhao bowed to Liu Hongyi and said, "I think what the Grand Tutor said is the crux of our dynasty!"
"Oh?" Liu Hong was panicked when he saw Yuan Wei, but instead calmed down, looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "What's the point of Ye Qing?"
"I dare not take it for my high opinion." Ye Zhao bowed and said, "I also admire these virtuous people. However, when serving as an official, what I want is ability and benefiting the people, not just referring to virtue. Those who are virtuous but incompetent have secretly held high positions. I think that it is destroying our Han Dynasty. In the current officialdom of our dynasty, we pay too much attention to obtaining and treating them as nothing. I believe that the governors and prefects of these five prefectures and prefects may be virtuous people, but these virtuous people cannot seek welfare for the people. The people who are tired are powerless to suffer wars and are powerless. Such virtuous people are probably more harmful than those who are capable but not virtuous!"
"What Ye Qing said is also reasonable." Liu Hong nodded with a smile. After saying that, his face turned pale and he coughed. Zhang Rang, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to help him calm down.
"Your Majesty, I think what Wei Wei said is a big mistake!" Wang Yun saw Yuan Wei's ugly expression, stepped forward and bowed, "According to what Wei Wei said, if a person without virtue can be at a high position, wouldn't it make the scholars in the world feel even more disheartened? According to Wei Wei, then a hundred years later, aren't there all the evil people in the court?"
"This is a bad word!" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "The sage said that no one has any faults. It is great to know that mistakes can be corrected. However, in today's government, once the reputation of scholars is a loss, the court will not hire them again, and they will not even give them a chance to reform themselves. I think this is a big mistake! The court governs the world, not academics, but the most important thing is to make the country and the people peaceful. If they are all those pedantic people who know how to talk about war on paper, they will be at a high position, but those who are shocking talents are not tolerated by the court just because of some bad deeds. In the long run, the remaining people in the court are all virtuous but without vision. This situation is definitely not a good thing for the court! I think that some of the scholars who are capable but have been driven out of the court because of some irrelevant bad deeds, and replace the governors, prefects, and generals of the five prefectures!"
"No!" Wang Yun's face changed drastically: "How can such a person who is unvirtuous be hired again?"
"Ignore virtue?" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Wang Yun and said, "These people may be out of virtue, but what about the prefect of the prefect who made the thieves rampant in the five states? They are guilty! Which one is more important? Is Wang Yilang really blind?"
"You..." Wang Yun was furious and pointed at Ye Zhao, but couldn't speak.
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Wei sighed and bowed to Liu Hong and said, "The old minister thinks that it is not necessarily the incompetent officials of these five states. They are cunning and have rushed to attack. Therefore, they are panicked. Why don't your Majesty give them a chance?"
"Oh?" Liu Hong looked at Yuan Wei and said, "What's the opportunity?"
"Give them another one month deadline. If they cannot quell the rioters within one month, they will be dismissed according to the words of the Weiwei, and select other talents to take office. If they can, they will be asked to continue to serve to see how they will succeed in the future?" Yuan Wei bowed.
When Liu Hong heard this, a look of heartbeat flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao's heart sank. This sounded like a military order, but Ye Zhao knew very well that these treacherous thieves were all caused by these people. When they would be pacified, it was all done by these people. Not to mention a month or half a month, he immediately bowed to Liu Hong and said, "The three feet of ice are not cold in a day. The raging mobs are caused by these officials over time, and it is pacified. If these officials continue to do this, they will force the people to rebel in the future!"
"Ye Xiuming!" Yuan Wei shouted suddenly and glared at Ye Zhao: "What are these officials hating you? Do you want to harm them like this?"
"Zhao Yixin is only for the court and the country, and has no selfish intentions!" Ye Zhao said coldly.
"Ha, aren't selfish? You..." Wang Yun wanted to ridicule disdainfully, but was interrupted by Liu Hong.
"Enough!" Liu Hong slapped the table and stood up, frowned and said, "This is a court, not a market. You are going to make a noise. Get out and make a noise!"
Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liu Hong.
Liu Hong sighed and said, "Just as the Grand Tutor said, give them a one-month deadline, and after one month, see what will happen afterwards!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Yuan Wei smiled slightly and bowed.
Ho~
Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong, shook his head, and bowed to Liu Hong with all the officials.
After Liu Hong said something, he was already a little breathless. Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he immediately announced his dispersion and turned around and left.
"Wei Wei's keen wisdom and grandiose behavior have really opened my eyes. However, this world is like chess and may not be able to do everything according to our will. We are still young and we cannot help but be passionate. The skill of nourishing energy needs to be sharpened." Yuan Wei looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.
"If you don't have to worry about the Grand Tutor, Zhao will be responsible." Ye Zhao smiled and said with a smile to Yuan Wei, as if there had never been any dispute before.
