Chapter IX Willing to Die for the Country

Pei Min revealed Yang Jingshu's psychological darkness in one sentence.

With Pei Min's warning, Yang Jingshu had already vaguely realized that he was wrong.

But he didn't want to admit it, nor could he admit it.

Once he admits that it is his fault, he must be responsible for his fault.

The front line was lost, hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou were threatened by his ignorance, and the court suffered huge losses as a result...

This sin must be punished by one or more people...

So he must know where the problem occurred no matter what. He looked for the problem not to solve it, but to shirk responsibility.

Pei Min said so bluntly and pointed it out in front of outsiders. How could he bear it?

Liang Governor Shi Yinxuan is his person, but it doesn’t matter, but the commander is not. As long as he speaks Pei Min’s words today, everything will be played...

You can't bear it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore!

While Pei Min could not bear it anymore to Yang Jingshu, Yang Jingshu was also too bear it anymore to bear it.

"Duke Pei, it is true that you have a high position and power, and you are still the only foreign minister who holds local military and political power. But that was in Longyou, not Liangzhou. I, Yang Jingshu, is the governor of Liangzhou and serves as the governor of the procuratorate, and Yang is responsible for the affairs of Liangzhou. If you interfere, you will be overpowering...Duke Pei was the top scholar in the innate age. You should have heard the truth that "it is not cold at night, and you think that the harm of invading officials is more than cold"!"

Yang Jing tells an allusion from the Warring States Period and South Korea.

It means that once, after Han Zhaohou got drunk, he fell asleep without covering his body. Dian Guan, the servant in charge of the hat, saw that Han Zhaohou was sleeping like this and was about to catch a cold, so he covered him with a piece of clothing.

After Han Zhaohou woke up, he learned about this and punished Dianyi and even more severely punished Dianguan.

Dian Yi failed to cover Han Zhaohou in time to avoid the cold when Han Zhaohou fell asleep, which was a dereliction of duty, but Dian Guan's behavior exceeded his authority and exceeded his responsibilities. He did what he should not have done without authorization.

It’s not that Han Zhaohou was not afraid of catching a cold, but that he believed that the harm of infringing on other people’s power was much more serious than catching a cold.

This is just a small matter, but it is a very profound explanation for Han Feizi.

Yang Jingshu pointed at Pei Min and interfered in his administration and accused him of overreaching power.

Overcoming power is a big taboo. Looking at the thousand-year history of China, I don’t know how many people died of overcoming power.

Pei Min also knew in his heart that, for general overreach of power, Li Longji's favor and trust in him, he could be forgiven, or even careless.

However, it is unbearable for any king to mobilize the army and command the three armies that are not under their jurisdiction.

No matter how Li Longji trusted him, once he escaped this power, he would not be able to escape the charge of being favored and charming.

Pei Min smiled "haha" and said, "It's true that I have no right to command the troops in Liangzhou, but to deal with incompetent people like you, you need to use the army? Are you afraid you forget where I got out? Have you forgotten that I have the title of Chief Censor?"

Yang Jingshu's face turned pale in an instant, his feet became soft, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

Pei Min, the title of Chief Censor, does not require practice, but there is still substantial power.

The task of the Censor Zhongcheng was to impeach civil and military ministers. With Pei Min's strength and prestige in the court, once he wrote a book to impeach, his future would be worrying.

Pei Min shook her sleeves without looking back.

He left the governor's office, raised his horse whip, and rushed straight to the governor's office.

Zhao Yizhen was waiting for news from Pei Min, but did not go to the mourning hall to commemorate him.

Since Pei Min reminded, his heart has been up and down.

According to Yang Jingshu's words, it can indeed be comprehensive and almost perfect. However, as long as there is an error in one link, it will collapse completely.

If he hadn't been unwilling to confront Yang Jingshu head-on, he would even have the urge to return to the Chishui Army to change its defense.

Seeing Pei Min enter, Zhao Yizhen walked up to him. She wanted to ask, but when she saw the other party's expression was furious, she couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Yang Jingshu doesn't even give the Duke's face?"

Pei Min shook his head and said solemnly: "The situation is much more serious than this. He dares not not give me face, but it's too late. The Turks have invaded, the army has seized Mingwei Shou, and the border defense has fallen."

Zhao Yizhen's expression changed instantly. Mingweishu was the defense line he was responsible for. Mingweishu lost, and he, the Chishui army envoy, was to blame.

He suddenly thought of what Pei Min said before and the conclusion he had drawn before, and said in a lost voice: "Does Mingwei Shu lose his defense mean that the entire line of defense has collapsed?"

Pei Min is relatively calm. He is not old and has experienced a lot of things, so he can control it. "There is no news on the front line, it is a mess, but it can be imagined. The key now is not the outside, but the inside. The internal uncertainty is that there is no need to fight this battle."

Zhao Yizhen instantly understood who Pei Min was talking about. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes and shouted: "It's too much to deceive people, when is it? What else does he want to do?"

"He dared not do anything, he was just looking for a scapegoat!" Pei Min briefly said what he saw and heard.

I heard that Yang Jingshu didn't want to meet the enemy, but wanted to shirk responsibility, but Zhao Yizhen lost all morale.

He is responsible for Mingweishu, and he cannot escape this crime.

This was obviously a joke, and Zhao Yizhen felt that her future was dim.

Pei Min took the blame and said, "It's not just you, no one can resist this crime. Zhehuchen, Cen Yun, none of you can escape. It's just that the crime is greater and the smaller."

Zhao Yizhen looked at Pei Min strangely and said, "The Duke of the State has the idea to say it, don't talk sarcastically here. We three are the right-hand men of Governor Xue. As the grandson of Governor General, how can you not save me when you die?"

Pei Min smiled and said, "If you don't tell me to die, how dare you disobey?"

As he said, he said with a righteous look: "To be honest, I can't participate too much in this matter. The crime of overcoming power is not small. The minor one is to lose the official position, and the serious one is to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. The key is that regardless of the outcome, winning is a crime, and losing is also a crime... You are different. Next, Yang Jingshu will definitely command according to his most favorable way to escape from his crime. With his level of talking about the war on paper, he will give him the command power, so he will not be the opponent of the Turks, and he will be completely defeated. You disobey your order and do not listen to him. If you disobey your orders, you will be ordered secretly. If you lose, you will be more guilty and wait for beheading. But if you win, you will be the general outside and your fate will not be taken. Your fault will be much smaller, and you will even have the possibility of promotion."

Zhao Yizhen stared at Pei Min in a daze.

Pei Min smiled and said, "I can't use my own family's safety to bet with you, but my personal life is fine. If I lose, I will die with you and win. If the court still wants to hold you accountable, that's simple. Longyou Army welcomes you to join..."
