Chapter 207 Fortune and Misfortune

Ying Jieyan is very clear about the "gratitude" between His Highness and Jiang's clan.??            ????     w?w?w?

?b    i?q?u?g?e?.

?cn When His Highness persuaded Jiang Wanzai to help him open a prefecture in Qiongzhou, he said that he wanted to be a bad person with great righteousness, which aroused Jiang Wanzai's suspicion, and he lay a secret beside him. Unexpectedly, His Highness, the little ghost, actually saw the clues, and did not know whether he did not dare to turn against the Jiang family because he did not seize the evidence or did not dare to turn against the Jiang family's promise to take care of the children of the Jiang family. His Highness never took extreme actions, but pretended not to know that he had never mentioned this to others except himself.

But with the strict look at Yingjie, Your Highness did not forget this matter. He was very wary of Jiang. He took the opportunity of reorganizing the army to transfer Jiang Zongjie from his personal guard to sit on the bench in the Fushi Department, and also transferred him to a civil service, not allowing him to contact the army directly. However, Your Highness looked at Jiang Yu with his troops, but he was not close to him, and he was staying away from him. But Jiang Yu seemed not aware of His Highness's lukewarm attitude and always wanted to make decisions on behalf of His Highness. Although he had the intention of maintaining it, it made Your Highness even more disgusted. After his persuasion, he was slightly restrained, but it was difficult to stop.

What made Ying Jieyan puzzled was that although his highness hated Jiang Yu very much, he did not treat him. His Highness tried to protect him in Leizhou and did not take the opportunity to apart from this "future trouble", which was seriously contrary to his daily style of behavior. He said that his Highness was afraid or showed kindness to Jiang Wanzai, but even Ying Jieyan himself could not convince himself in this explanation. If this matter was born before the founding of the palace, he thought that His Highness might show weakness in order to achieve his goal, and now the generals were full of soldiers and food, and all the generals were convinced, and his strength was enough to compete with the Jiang family, who was still in the evening, so His Highness did not have to be afraid of him or show goodwill to him.

In addition, the Leizhou affairs were completely done by Jiang Yu himself, and it had nothing to do with His Highness. No one would blame him for the Jiang family. He could get rid of his confidant troubles by just sitting and watching. Even if His Highness wanted to get rid of Zeng Yuanzi, he only needed to say that he colluded with Jiang Yu to conspire to split the general's mansion and destroy the plan to operate Qiongzhou. Now that Leizhou is in trouble, His Highness not only did not take back the token, but also allowed Jiang Yu to dispatch the rear army, but instead forgot that he might be the "Ma Dai" buried beside him. Ying Jieyan was confused about this and could not understand His Highness's pulse...

"Sir, I will definitely know that before Guan Zi died in the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi asked for advice in front of his bed!" Zhao Bing did not avoid the issue of Ying Jieyan and said for a moment.

"Of course." Ying Jieyan nodded, "Guan Zhong was critically ill. Duke Huan of Qi asked who could be prime minister behind him, and mentioned Bao Shuya, Yi Ya and others as the choice. Guan Zhong disagreed and recommended Xi Peng as prime minister."

"That's right, sir, I guess I know why Guan Zi didn't recommend Yi Ya, Shu Diao and Wei Kaifang?" Zhao Bing said again after taking a sip of tea.

"Guanzi said: "Wu Diao, how can he love the king if he doesn't love his body? Prince Wei opened the ground and left the crown prince of his thousand chariots, and the ministers serve the king. The wishes of the king will be obtained by the king. If Shu Diao, how can he love the king if he doesn't love his body?" Ying Jieyan said without thinking, "Guanzi saw through the traitor in his heart, so he advised the king to abandon it. However, Duke Huan of Qi forgot to warn and still appointed them. But when he was sick in bed and was hopeless, the three of them immediately locked the palace gate and starved him to death."

"Yes, but Duke Huan of Qi, even to outsiders, castrated himself and went to the palace to serve the king. Yi Ya killed his youngest son for his master to taste it. Wei Kaifang left home and abandoned his wife and children to serve him. At first glance, they were all doing things that were loyal to the king, which was touching and should be used more. But after careful consideration, it would make people feel extremely terrifying. People love themselves more than others. This is nature. If someone loves others better than themselves, it is false, it is contrary to nature and not human nature. How can a person want to do such an inhuman thing? " Zhao Bing said seriously. "And Jiang Yishan is a person of temperament. He knew that Zeng Yuanzi had bad intentions and knew what the consequences would be for sending troops without authorization, but he was still driven by the Zeng family's love, which made it difficult to extricate himself. How could I watch him die such a sentimental person?"

"Then your Highness is not afraid that Jiang Yishan is Ma Dai next to you?" Ying Jieyan understood it in his heart and asked again with a smile.

"Haha, I have just said that Jiang Yishan is a kind person. Yu Gong, I am a monarch and minister, and I am a private person, and I am a teacher and a student. No matter from this perspective, he would not hurt me even if he killed himself!" Zhao Bing said proudly with a smile.

"Oh, I really don't know if it was a blessing or a misfortune in Jiang Yishan's residence!" Ying Jieyan sighed after hearing this. The little prince really calculated the hearts of the people. If he was the king in the future, he would definitely achieve great achievements. If he was the minister, he might harm the country. But one day he would scheming the rebellion and usurpation of the throne, whether he would kill him to maintain orthodoxy, or help the evildoer, I'm afraid he couldn't explain it clearly, so this is what he said.

"Of course it was a blessing. Only when Jiang Yishan entered the royal palace could he be used. His family hatred was repaid, and the wisdom of the Jiang family was continued. Even if the husband came to the mansion, he would bloom new flowers, and he would show what he had learned throughout his life to realize his ambition to stabilize the country?" Zhao Bing poured water for Ying Jieyan and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, I'm really thankless. I've spent countless energy to the end but I still have to thank Your Highness for your kindness!" Ying Jieyan said with a wry smile after hearing this, but it's true. If he hadn't met Your Highness, he would have to spend the rest of his life with books in the rest of his life, and there would be no chance to be a hundred thousand soldiers and spread all over the world.

"Where is this king who is fortunate. There are so many people in the world. Isn't it a great blessing to be able to meet with the teacher and listen to the teachings?" Zhao Bing said seriously with a serious face.

"I am very lucky to see that the Song Dynasty has His Highness. It is because His Highness is expected to come to this barbaric land without fear of hardships, which allows His Majesty and the court to have a place to live when the country is destroyed." Ying Jie Yan laughed and said, thinking about it, he would be lonely if he had this student!

"This is not necessarily the case. I'm afraid that they may not be willing to come if we invite you!" Zhao Bing said with a gloomy face after hearing this.

"Isn't this true? Did the court rather float on the sea than to avoid it in Qiongzhou for a while?" Ying Jieyan was a little confused.

"Haha, who wants to float on the sea? They are not unwilling to come, but they are afraid they dare not come!" This time, Zhao Bing smiled bitterly, and he shook his head and said helplessly.

"I dare not come?! What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of your Highness..." Ying Jieyan became even more confused, and then he thought about it and said in surprise.

"On the contrary, unfortunately they are afraid of you!" Zhao Bing picked up the cup and drank the remaining tea in one sip...

Of course, Zhao Bing said this is not groundless. He could lay his eyes on the court to inquire about information, so it is not surprising that there are some spies in the court in the general’s mansion, but the thief is even more afraid of the thief. He has many secrets, so the confidentiality is done well. The people around him are carefully selected from Quanzhou’s bravery. They dare not say that their combat power is the first, and loyalty is definitely the first. The inner mansion is almost closed and Wang De is watching. Even if there are spies who want to pass the message outside, it is very difficult, so the outside world does not know much about what Zhao Bing does.

In this way, it is easy for outsiders to attribute a series of actions to the bosses in the mansion to the heads of several big men in the mansion, but this little child has nothing to do. Even if they do something, they are added to them to raise the "prisoner"-like little prince to conceal their actions. And some people in the court all seem to be alien:

Most of them were from Jinshi, but they were radical in their thoughts and took the anti-Mongolian revival as their own responsibility. They often served in local areas. After entering the court, they often had disagreements with their colleagues or chief officials and were not valued, so they were dissatisfied with the court. Such a group of people gathered in a place to prepare for war under the banner of restoring the country, and eliminated dissidents and arranged close friends on the grounds of rectifying the local area. How could some people not be too concerned? According to Zhao Bing, some people in the court called them the "Qiong Party".

In history, cliques have never been a complimentary term. At first, it refers to the collusion between people of the same kind for the purpose of private self-interest, and later it is extended to the scholars and officials who have all their party members and fight against each other. In the minds of people of all ages, cliques are a group formed around personal interests, and there is no morality to speak of. In order to fulfill their selfish desires, the accomplices do not wantonly accused non-party people, pollute the official atmosphere, and disrupt the ruling order. For rulers, cliques are ominous things, and when the fiancés prosper, the country will decline.

Since this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter who is accused of being a clique, it not only means the end of political life, but also morally notorious. The disputes between the cliques in the Song Dynasty were a struggle between the new Jinshi officials and powerful ministers for their own interests and ambitions, and then evolved into divisions and mutual attacks within the new Jinshi officials. Their speech was stronger than action, their goals were more important than means, and their intentions were more important than reason; they were conceited and stubborn, and they did their own things; they responded to the same voice and sought each other, and they gave people a handle, which often attracted suspicion from the rulers. In this way, the rulers took preventing their subordinates from forming cliques for personal gain as the important task of maintaining imperial power.

In the past, in order to prevent local power from abusing power, the Song Dynasty adopted the policy of governing military affairs and controlling finances, and took all local financial powers under the central management. Because the rulers all knew that the soldiers who brought their own food and soldiers who needed to receive silver from their superiors and soldiers who needed to receive silver from their superiors and officials. People are iron, and food is steel, and they are hungry without eating. Practice has repeatedly proved that if obedience is the goal, the most effective method is to control the human stomach and form a relationship between the upper and lower levels.

The image of this relationship is the relationship between the animals and the administrators in the zoo and the circus. It is a self-instinctive, extremely intimate, and quite touching. The animals have completely lost their independent requirements, and the administrator can be domineering in their dependence. This is not only the management of various animals, but also the management of humans. In the past, the food and salary of soldiers all came from the court, or to be precise, from the emperor, so that the army must be dependent on the central government to exist.

Although the country was defeated, most of the country was lost, taxes were cut off, and strength was no longer the same as before. It was difficult to maintain the system of the past. Not only could it not support the army, but it also needed to rely on local support. Now, the food and wages of the generals in Qiongzhou were all self-financing and had nothing to do with the court. In this case, the soldiers' stomachs were controlled by the commanders, which mean that the soldiers formed a personal dependence relationship between the generals. In their eyes, they only had the commander's mansion for their wages, and the court was gone.

Zhao Bing also knew that the concept of a modern country had not yet been formed in ancient times. In the eyes of the people, a country is a king, and a king is a country. This also formed a concept: once a monarch is killed by a foreign country, no one can inherit it, or the country is captured by an enemy country, and the country will perish. Then it can be said that in order to maintain the existence of a country, there must be a legal king, even in name, it does not matter which one is.

Now in the eyes of the world, the succession of the little emperor in the court is not a normal passing on the throne, but recommended by 6 Xiufu, Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie and others. Under the guise of uniting all parties with anti-Yuan forces, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. Since everyone is not upright, you can recommend the King Yi as the emperor, then of course I can also recommend the King Wei as the emperor. This is just a play of imitating the yellow robe of Taizu in the past. Adding up the two strokes, ******* will naturally be suspicious of the General's Mansion, worried that they will break away from the court and become independent.

If they were the strength of the court in the past, they would not be afraid. Unfortunately, the court failed one after another, and suffered many losses in the army and generals. The areas they had just recovered were lost one by one, and their control over Qiongzhou was seriously weakened. If they went to the island to take refuge in this situation, they were worried that the emperor would be deposed by the General's Mansion, support the King of Wei to succeed to the throne, and annex them. Therefore, once there was another way, they would never come to Qiongzhou...

Zhao Bing could only complain about the wrongdoing. It seemed that it was not a big problem for him to survive this year, but his emperor brother was hard to say. If they refused to come to Qiongzhou for refuge, they would probably continue to act according to the original script, causing his poor brother to lose his life. By then, he would be a seedling in a thousand acres of land. If he wanted to be an emperor, they would probably not do it, so they begged and coaxed themselves to succeed to the throne. But this cannot be said, otherwise the charge of cursing the emperor would not be able to escape, so they could not express a word even if they were injured.

Ying Jieyan thought that although His Highness was worried about many of his imagination, it was also impossible. Frauds between the cliques of all dynasties always occurred in an era facing major historical changes. At that time, the mud and sand were inevitably mixed, and fish and dragons appeared together. In the irresistible changes in the environment, everyone responded differently based on the severity of their political philosophy, moral beliefs and actual interests.
