Chapter 91 Old Xiang Lao Jiang

Zhang Shuo looked at these big guys. The left servant Wei Juyuan, the minister Wei Anshi, the minister Wei Sili served as the third rank of the Secretariat and the minister of the Secretariat. Wei Wen was the prince Shaobao and the third rank of the Secretariat and the fourth rank of the Secretariat. Think about the son-in-law Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Xuxuan, the chief lieutenant Wei Qi, the general of the Secretariat and the central lieutenant of the Secretariat, Wei Rui, Wei Wen's nephew Gao Song, Wei Counselor, Wei Xuxin, Wei Xuzhou, and more officials of Wei who he could not even remember even his names.

Looking at these four big shots and thinking about Zhu Wei, you will understand why Li Xian has lost his power now.

Then there were the Secretariat Ling Xiao Zhizhong, Li Jiao and Zhang Renyuan as the third rank of the Secretariat, Cui Xi, Zheng Yan and Zhao Yanzhao as the Secretariat Minister and the same chapter as the Secretariat, and Su Yan as the Right Pushe.

Just the prime minister, the truth and falsehood are combined together, and there are ten people. Not to mention the redundant officials, seeing these ten prime ministers and four Wei family members, Li Jiao is a flatterer. Zhang Renyuan is so scared that he dares not speak anymore. Zhao Yanzhao is handsome and has a good relationship with Zhang Shuo. When Zhang Shuo talks about this person with Wang Hua, Wang Hua said lightly: "Oh, isn't it just the flatterer who flatters a witch and treats the situation with the help of the prince?"

Wang Hua refers to Zhao Yanzhao taking the shortcut to get the position. A witch named Zhao was pretending to be a god and ghost, so he took her as his aunt regardless of his shame. Then he brought her in with her, dressed in a woman's clothes and went to worship Li Xian in a car. After a while, he flattered and performed a female show, so he asked Li Xian to support him as the prime minister.

Wang Hua was just a word, and Zhang said that he planned to draw a clear line with him from now on.

Not to mention Cui Xi and Zheng Yan, they had long since defected to Wei.

Su Yan was an honest official, but unfortunately he was a good old man. Xiao Zhizhong was very upright, but unfortunately he could not support himself.

In other words, at least six of these ten prime ministers were controlled by Wei, and three of them dared not speak.

How could Li Xian issue orders to the court?

Then look at the bosses of the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers, and the situation is even worse.

Li Xian actually asked these people about their opinions.

But for the sake of the country, he worshiped deeply: "Dear Ministers, please give up your grudges for the sake of the country and for the people."

Wei Juyuan said unhappily: "Mr. Zhang, please be careful when speaking. Public and private matters are clear. Are you saying that we have brought grudges to the court?"

This is the truth, but Zhang Shuo didn't fail to say it.

Wei Juyuan obviously did not take Zhang Shuo seriously. He turned to Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang suggested that I disagree. Once this example is opened, the Tang Dynasty will be in great trouble. In the future, if any frontier minister is dissatisfied with the court, he will openly plot chaos. What should the court do? One by one, one by one, and you have to give in to them to eliminate disasters and comfort their insatiable hearts? Who is the minister and who is the king? Just like this time Guo Yuanzhen is already learning Wang Hua. Why did the court issue three imperial edicts and he still use troops to Tuyuhun? This will make the court in danger."

Wei Juyuan didn't mention this matter. When Zhang said that he was furious, he took a step forward and rushed to say, "Your Majesty, it's rumored that some time ago, the court betrayed the interests of several states in Lingyan Shanhe River in exchange for joining forces with Tubo and Turks. However, the reconciliation failed, but the Tubo Turks were unscrupulously harming the people on the border. This has become a shame and joke for the court. Now there are three decrees in a day, so that General Xue Na would not be allowed to attack Mochuo and wait for the hero to escape. Mo. Is this true? And why did Guo Yuanzhen stop attacking Tuyuhun? Did the court forget the nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians who died in Dafeichuan in the first year of Xianheng? Did the court forget the tens of thousands of troops who died in Qinghai in the third year of Yifeng? Did they forget the nearly 100,000 troops who died in Sulushan in the first year of Dilu? Now even God has given the Tang Dynasty a chance to revitalize the Western Regions. Your Majesty, don’t you want the brilliant martial arts of the Tang Dynasty? Don’t you want the peace of the people on the border?"

Li Xian's face was a little embarrassed. It's not that he didn't want to, but now his words are not working.

Zhang Shuo turned his head and looked at Wei Juyuan again and said, "I won't say what's the point of occupying Dafeichuan. And Guo Yuanzhen has not even taken action in the Central Plains' military and financial resources, so why don't he let him take action? Mr. Wei, what kind of relatives do you have with the Tubo people and the Tuyuhun people?"

"Mr. Zhang, please learn to speak, and to do, and to hear clearly what a certain word means. Is it right for Wang Hua to do in Bazhou?"

Zhang Shuo was speechless again. From the perspective of the court, Zhang Shuo could not be right. But in the final analysis, it was caused by Wei's killing Wang Hua, but because of Li Xian's later tacit approval, Zhang Shuo was also not easy to raise.

"Since it's wrong, why do you still have to compromise? Has there been a monarch who compromised with his ministers since ancient times? Yes, that's Emperor Xian of Han. Do you want our Majesty to be regarded as Emperor Xian of Han?"

After pressing down this big hat, Zhang Shuo's head was sweating. He said in his heart, no wonder Wang Hua said that he was the talent of the prime minister in the future, but not now. As the prime minister, he is far from being a big shot.

Wei Juyuan changed his tone and said, "Of course, peace is the most important. If Wang Hua regrets his rebirth and obeys the arrangements of the court, he might as well let him serve as the chief general of Lingzhou to fight against the Tubo Turks. He can also issue some rewards to the Blood Camp, such as food, salary, cloth and other materials. However, there are a few points that Wang Hua must implement. The First Wang Hua is not allowed to send any troops to the court. The Second Blood Camp is the army of the court. Please hand the Blood Camp to the court immediately."

When Zhang Shuo heard it at first, he thought Wei Juyuan had changed his mind. As long as the court issued a large amount of food and military pay, it was equivalent to negotiating conditions with Zhu Tong. However, after Wei Juyuan's modification, this was not a condition, but a reward, and the court would not lose face. This was a feasible solution. But the latter sentence came out, and Zhang Shuo Lian said that this person was not a thing.

The Blood Camp sent troops to threaten the court. As long as the conditions were negotiated, I believe it would be not difficult to retreat. But who could let Wang Hua hand over the Blood Camp? I simply said to Wang Hua, lower your head and let me wipe your son.

He was angry by Wei Juyuan, sat down and didn't speak.

After Wei Juyuan finished speaking, he sat down and didn't even look at Zhang.

But another man stood up again, Wei Wen said, "Your Majesty, I have another idea. In fact, this time Wang Hua was anxious and it was also food. Although he got a lot of food last year, there were more people in his territory this year. As Mr. Zhang said, most of the people eat in the morning and at night. So Wang Hua is now sending troops regardless of success or failure. In fact, this is also the most deadly place of the Blood Camp. It is obviously unrealistic for the Blood Camp to get food. The north is Turkic, and the south is Tubo. Even if they agree to let it go, he has no ability to transport food from that snowy area. The west is the desert, and then it is powerful.

The only way is to transport grain from our Tang Dynasty. Now we just need to transfer grain back to the inland immediately, so that he can't get food even if he sends troops. Our army stays in the tall city walls and keeps his strength. In this way, he must occupy one place where he passes, otherwise there will be danger. But he himself has no people. He heard that even the prisoners of war in Tubo were used. So the larger the area it occupied, the less troops it can use. Then he sent people to spread rumors to his territory, which made the people panic. In less than a month, the blood camp will be in chaos."

Zhang said that he had sat down and didn't want to say it. After hearing Wei Wen's words, he couldn't help but stand up again and said, "Mr. Siwei, please be clear-headed, okay? You are now the prime minister, and you have to think about it through your brain."

What he said was that harmony would benefit bothers bothers. These people insisted on grasping whether Wang Hua was doing the right thing or not, and Zhang Shuo had no choice. But it did not mean that Zhang Shuo was captured by these people.

The vocal Queen of Four Wei made Xiao Zhizhong and Su Su lower their heads and think about laughing. But they were also very impressed. Anyway, everyone was shameless and splashed dirty water, but Zhang said how clever it was. Sure enough, Li Xian heard the Queen of Four Wei and his muscles trembled on his face.

When Wu Zetian was alive, in order not to put the government into the family, Wei Anshi would not use Wei Juyuan, and Wei Anshi would not use Wei Juyuan. But now he used the four Wei family members to be the prime minister. This is the top of the pyramid. There were about twenty other officials of the fourth, fifth and sixth ranks and related relatives, and I don’t know how many people were in the back row of the seventh rank.

I used to think it was a reward for my wife's care, but now I realize that it has finally caused trouble.

Zhang Shuo was still talking: "You sent someone to spread rumors. Okay, I am a little minister, I will do an analysis for you. What is the situation in Bazhou now? The business of Bazhou is more prosperous than before, which is the result of Wang Hua's encouragement. But one thing is that only grain is not sold, and it is all purchased by blood camps, and then distributed to the people. This distribution is divided into three parts. The first part is distributed to meritorious tribes according to military merits, which stimulates them to send their children to join the army. The second part is distributed according to poverty and scarcity. The third part is distributed from the ranch as compensation for farmland. This is all free of charge. I would like to ask if you send people to spread rumors. What will happen if you send people to spread rumors? It is price increase or panic, and you will not get it. On the contrary, it stimulates the people's resentment towards the court. It is possible that in order to survive, they encourage their children to join the army, capture our prefectures and counties, and rob food."

"The first one is right. It's a way to evacuate the grain of each prefecture and county. But do you know how many days the Blood Camp will occupy? You can't let the people who stay hungry for a month or half a year. The Blood Camp is not interested in these prefectures and counties. If you become interested, Linzhou, Diezhou, Taozhou will become interested. This is the gateway to Jishishan, Helanyuan and other prefectures. Xia Fengshengyin and Liuhuzhou are also interested. After taking it off, even if these are poor areas, even if they are Hu people, even if they face the Turks, but if they fall into the Blood Camp, with these several states in hand, they are not afraid that the court will join forces with the Turks again and threaten the eighths

In the Lingzhou area of ​​the central area of ​​the prefecture, unless the Turks pass through the western desert, then, even if they pass through, the number of people will not be too large and cannot threaten the blood camp. This is the final area of ​​the blood camp. If you remove the grain from other prefectures and counties, he will not care about the lives and death of the people in these prefectures and counties. If the people have no food to eat, they will flow eastward. How many people are there in these dozen states? Think about it, 700,000 or 800,000 people will be moved. Who will be responsible for this consequence? Also, if they are forced to force them to be sent to Chang'an, do you really have to leave food in Chang'an? This is a really bad idea."

Compared to Wei Anshi, Wei Sili or Wei Juyuan, they have been in high positions for a long time, so it is not easy to catch the handle when speaking, and Wei Wen is a little tender. His rise is mainly due to his relationship with Wei. He is the closest cousin in Wei's blood relationship. There is no way. His brother was killed by the Ning family in Qinzhou, and his cousin is also good.

Therefore, he refuted Zhang and was speechless.

Zhang said that he had not stopped yet, but he had already been poured out anyway. I believe that as long as Wei Shi did not fall, he could still be used by them and negotiate with Wang Hua. After negotiations, he, as a small minister (this is compared to these dozen big bosses, actually has a great position in the position) to come to an end.

He said loudly: "I also have doubts about what the two Wei Xianggong (referring to Wei Juyuan, a few ministers laughed again). I know that Wang Hua did this wrong, but now for the sake of the country, why not take a temporary step. Liu Bang still had the siege of Bai Deng, but what if he was in the hands of Hanwu? Besides, in this dynasty, the Turks were once regarded as the superior country by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, but what will happen after a few decades? The blood camp should be safe, and the court should not hold them back. They want to fight the Tubo people, seize Jishi Mountain, and seize Zishan, and want to save the princess. This does not require a military and soldier in the court. Even if the court is hostile to them, it might as well sit and watch the two tigers fight. Maybe Mo Chuo remembers the hatred of Nanhetao and turns into a three tiger fight. Is this a good thing? If you have no hostility towards them, you can also

Treat the people with all their hearts and hearts. Now they are not right and have bad words. If the court does not show hostility and collects the blood camp. Wang Hua will not say that, even dozens of tiger generals under the Blood Camp will be placed in various places in the border areas, and if the Turks and Tubos dare to invade? You can set off the border and establish great martial arts. Guards can save a lot of troops and save labor and labor and a large amount of military expenditure for the country. Or you are not a friend, you can also watch them and watch them fight against the Tubos. In the end, either the Tubos defeat the Blood Camp, or at least the Tubos defeated the Blood Camp. If we don’t do evil in the Tang Dynasty, why not do it? If the Blood Camp defeated Tubos and forced the Tubos to hand over the Princess Jincheng, and Wang Hua fulfilled his promise, what should he do? Can he borrow the eight prefectures of the court in this name?"

This is what he thought along the way, so Langlang said that it is sonorous and powerful.

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Li Xian: "I would like to think twice."

But Li Xian did something that disappointed him again. Li Xian looked at the dozen or so big bosses and asked, "Dear friends, what do you think?"

Wei Sili stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are so eloquent. If you don't pay attention, you will be confused. I will ask you two questions. The first question is, according to your wishes, the court not only promised to lend them to the Eight Prefectures, but now it also has to lend them to the Taolin Fengsheng Xialin, Liuhu and the Six Hu prefectures, and nine prefectures. When did the court agree? Did you agree?"

So an old Taoist speaks differently from an old Taoist speaks. Wei Sili's question made Zhang Shuo difficult to answer. But the facts are in front of him. Now if the Xueyingteng is allowed to give up these nine prefectures, they will not agree even if they put the knife on their necks.

"I'll ask you again, the Blood Camp now has such terrifying combat power. In addition, these nine prefectures, if you want, you can open two large prefectures between Jishishan and Hegushan. The area has increased by nearly twice and the population has increased by more than doubled. This time, they have given them a chance to breathe. What are the consequences?" After saying that, he took the map and drew it on the map with a pen. Originally, the eight prefectures were a young silkworm shape that was difficult to defend. It was very long but very thin, but now after taking these nine new prefectures and Jishishan into it, it turned into an inverted L-shaped shape, no longer had the original leap and long problems, and the area was also very considerable.

If you don’t care if you don’t draw it, even Zhang Shuo took a breath of air, but you can’t say that. But Guan was also a region south of Jishishan and became considerable. Is it the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

However, Wei Sili's approach did make Zhang Shuo speechless again.

Now he had the nerve to say that the Blood Camp will not grow and will not be no threat to the Tang Dynasty?

He glanced at Wei Anshi with his eyes and thought to himself that since Wang Hua regards you as the third-place court, you will say one thing.

But Wei Anshi didn't say anything. It's not that he didn't want to talk. If he spoke, it would work very well. After all, he is a member of the Wei family and has a high authority in the Wei family. But the main reason is that Wang Hua is too ruthless. It is possible that he will gain power and will kill the entire family's life. Therefore, it is also difficult for him to choose, and this mentality also exists. So Wei Kou discussed with Wei Anshi that night, and we would not harm Wang Hua, but we would not help Wang Hua. This is their attitude and bottom line.

Besides, Zhang said that this kid was not kind-hearted, such as the fourth and second Wei Gongs, so it is obvious that Wei Sili is the third and Wei Gongs, and he is the great Wei Gongs.

He looked up at the sky.

Not everyone wears a pair of pants with Wei Shi. One of them wanted to speak several times, Su Su. But he was also listed on the list of Wang Hua's comments, which made him feel a little honored. But in this matter, he could not speak because of this list. As long as he spoke, he would be attacked by these people immediately.

I didn't see Zhang Renyuan, but now I'm a third-rank subordinate of the Secretariat, but this prime minister lives a harder life than a minister.

But at this time, someone finally spoke. Xiao Zhizhong coughed and said, "I think you all misunderstood the other party's meaning after fighting. Wei Pushe and Wei Zhongshu, Wei Shaobao said very well, and Mr. Zhang said very well. Wang Hua's crime is unforgivable, which is useless. If you compromise, it is also true that you will not lose the finale. But Mr. Zhang said nothing wrong. If the blood camp is on the land of Bazhou, there is a way to deal with it. But don't forget that he has an Oceania in the distance. It developed last year and heard that it has a population of more than three million. Now, there are 10,000 soldiers in the Blood Camp were drawn from Oceania. Wang Hua said that twenty of them were drawn.

There are more than ten thousand soldiers, this is definitely not a false statement. After all, they are slaves and they do not need to cherish their lives and families. Therefore, if they are allowed to reach Lingnan, and Wang Hua's reputation in Lingnan, if the court does not send troops to support it, Lingnan is likely to be lost. But if the army is sent to support it, Zong Chuke and Chang Yuankai will lose 280,000 troops. How many troops can the court draw? There are also 300,000 troops in the northwest, and several armies supporting Lingnan, which may be 100,000 or 200,000. Can the court afford it? Then there is food. If Wang Hua really forces him into a desperate situation and don't have any illusions about the court, his words of manipulating the price of grain are by no means false statement."

This is the point of the problem, Zhang Shuo and Su Su were relieved.

Wei Juyuan wanted to interrupt, but Xiao Zhizhong was not Zhang Shuo, although he also did a flattery and married his daughter to Wei's brother-in-law Cui Wu-shang. Moreover, when he got married, Li Xianzhu Xiao and Weizhu Cui were ridiculed by the people as the emperor marrying his daughter and the queen marrying a wife.

But this is also impossible. Just as Wang Hua said, we need to be flexible, so neither Hai Rui nor Bao Zheng could be the real prime minister in his life. He was too straightforward and sitting in the face might not be a good thing, but he might do it badly.

Xiao Zhizhong was despised by Wang Hua because of his close contact with Princess Taiping. Wei Anshi appeared among so many people on the list, but Xiao Zhizhong did not. But this person was generally good. He also had to do things in the position of prime minister, and he could not always contradict the Wei family, Wei family, and Wei family. Therefore, this marriage also needed to resolve the increasingly fierce conflicts. Similarly, Wei family also valued this marriage, after all, she was not very famous. Xiao Zhizhong was born into the famous Xiao family in Lanling and was also a representative of Qingliu. Therefore, the ugly drama of the emperor marrying his daughter and the queen marrying a wife appeared.

But Xiao Zhizhong did not turn to Wei. He would not buy Wei Juyuan's account. He continued, "And you all neglected one thing. When Mr. Zhang came back, Wang Hua did two things. Although because of Mr. Zhang's advice, he did not send troops to Lingnan for trouble or raise the price of grain, he still sent troops. But he also did a very subtle thing. He released Zong Chuke and the other two, and the minister heard another thing. He probably realized that Zong Chuke had suffered in Lingzhou, so Wang Hua sent a lot of jewelry and flying money, worth about 100,000 yuan to Mr. Zong."

Speaking of this, he wanted to laugh in his heart. Wang Hua's move was too damaging.

"What does this mean? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Xiao Qing, what do you mean?" Li Xian asked.

"Your Majesty, I only express the meaning of Wang Hua, and do not replace the minister's thoughts. I only provide your majesty with reference. He did this and sent troops to the court. If the court continued to attack the eight states, he would also fight back. He released three people and gave gifts to tell us that even Zong Chuke, who was irresistible to him, has been released. Don't mind any more. Besides, the emperor and the queen? Does that mean that he has a little bit of a move to surrender to the court?"

After saying this, Wei Wen was anxious. He wanted to speak, but Xiao Zhizhong immediately closed his mouth and said, "Wei Shaobao, I just said that this is what Wang Hua said, it has nothing to do with me. I don't want to quarrel with you. Moreover, if the blood camp soldiers were sent to Weizhou, it will soon be Qinzhou, Fengzhou, and then your Wei family."

"You, you," Wei Wen was so angry that he couldn't argue. Didn't he say that he had just said that Wang Hua's idea was not his idea, how could he refute it?

Zhang Shuo sighed in his heart, Jiang is still so hot, and he still has a lot to learn.

ps: I won’t say much about the cause of Li Xian’s death. It is true that there are differences between the old and new Tang books and the records in Zizhi Tongjian. Sima Guang is conservative and not very credible. However, according to the theory of poisoning, he also used a sentence that was constantly asked, and his intention was quite unhappy. Therefore, Wei and the party began to worry, so the motivation for Wei’s poisoning was explained. This is also a relatively reliable explanation. A person’s patience is always limited, and Li Xian is not a real fool. Therefore, this book still evolves with a conservative point of view.

The previous chapter wrote about many ministers, some of which said in books, some did not say them, and they did not explain them one by one. In short, this is also Wu Zetian's merit, because many of them came from poor families. Without Wu Zetian, these people would not stand out. It should be said that these ministers are also ministers with excellent character. Of course, there are other people, such as Lu Xiangxian and others.

Mainly I am afraid that everyone thinks it is water injection.

Recently, I read some chapters of Guanju Yipin, and most of the content was filled with water, but he was not talking, I was stuffed, and I also read a lot of books, but I was not very talented and was not successful. I was ashamed. So the following book was destined not to write history books. I changed my taste, recharged it again, and then opened it again. It may be the history of the Song Dynasty.

This is also the complete update of the book in the last month. There may be more next month, but there is not much left. I originally wanted to open a single chapter to explain it, but the main results are too poor, so I am embarrassed to open it. However, despite the poor results, I am still working hard to write it and did not make it unfinished. Therefore, in the last month, I would like to give you a thumbs up and subscribe and monthly tickets to support it.

(There is another thing, I will give you a promise. As long as I am typing, I will give you at least 3.3 million words every year. This is my promise. This is less than the second year. At least this speed will be maintained from next year. What should I do? Only speed and diligence can be used. I sweated again)
