Chapter 55 Get out!
The Governor's Office's Office Conference Hall!
With the arrival of the Sixth Governor of Hexi, Pei Min also set a meeting time.
Half an hour before the start of the meeting, there were five six governors from Hexi. They seemed to be planning to use their actions to express their support for Pei Min, the new governor.
There was a while before the meeting began, and the five people gathered together, and they were all a little absent-minded as they spoke in words.
Pei Min, the Hexi Jiedushi, surrendered out of thin air, and they were more or less unexpected.
With his reputation as well, everyone knows that he is not an easy character to deal with.
What's more, as soon as he took office, he used thunder to kill Yang Jingshu, the governor of the Liangzhou of the Procuratorate, in full view of everyone, which put a lot of pressure on them.
The five of them waited patiently, but for a while, the foot sounded outside the house.
Under the guidance of one person, Cui Xiyi strode in, looking at the crowd in the hall without saying hello to them. Under the guidance of the servant, he sat in his own position.
Looking at Cui Xiyi, the five of them showed gloating expressions at the same time.
Since ancient times, Cui Xiyi is the only literati among the six governors. Just because of this identity, he is not popular among everyone.
Pei Min handled Yang Jingshu with such a big fanfare and openly expressed his indignation towards him and his disdain for the literati.
Cui Xiyi's identity as a literary man has disadvantages but no benefits in the eyes of the five.
The five of them ignored Cui Xiyi's arrival and chatted on their own.
They didn't feel relaxed for long, and the foot sounded again.
This time it came from the inner hall, and everyone was sitting quietly, waiting for Pei Min to arrive.
It was Pei Min who came, and he had a very good sense of time.
I will say how long it takes to hold a meeting and set an example and never be late.
Seeing Pei Min sitting at the top of the table, the six of them stood up and worshiped: "I have met Duke Pei!"
"No need to be polite!" Pei Min waved his hand and asked them to be rude and said clichély: "In the future, we will serve the imperial court in Hexi. We must first set a rule with you. Don't call me Master Pei, call me Shuai!"
Everyone chuckled.
Pei Min's habit is just like his usual love to drink mint tea, which has long been known to everyone.
Seeing Pei Min's kind face, Leqi, Geng Hou and Su Wu secretly looked at each other, and his heart was very peaceful.
As they guessed!
Pei Min glanced at the hall, stopped for a moment on Cui Xiyi, and said to everyone: "The governor is a military position. For me, there is a fixed name for people with military positions regardless of their status... a soldier!"
"You and me are all soldiers!"
Pei Min said with some pride and said, "Here, I have a question. I want to ask you, what is the responsibility of a soldier? Can anyone tell me?"
"Open the territory and expand the territory!" Su Wu said proudly.
"Well said!" Pei Min puffed up his palms.
Su Wu looked contented.
Pei Min looked at Geng Hou and asked, "Governor Geng, what do you think?"
"Be loyal to the country!" Geng Hou thought about it and gave four words.
"Not bad!" Pei Min nodded and looked at Leqi.
Before he could speak, Leqi had already replied first: "Fearless, be covered with corpses!"
"It's true!"
Pei Min also nodded with an agreement. Then he looked at Cui Xiyi and asked, "Governor Cui, what do you think?"
Cui Xiyi said cautiously: "The army has many meanings. In "Shuowen" and "Guangya" say: The army is a round circumference, and it means guarding. The subordinates think that they guard the border and maintain the stability of the world."
In Ganzhou and Xizhou, the following year, also expressed their opinions.
Pei Min smiled and said, "It seems that you all know the responsibilities of soldiers, and they all say it right. In my opinion, soldiers are an honor. They can expand their territory, wrap their horses and corpses, and keep stability in them, and let the people live a good life. In total, they are eight words: "Conquer the world, defend the country, and protect the country." If you can do these eight words, you are a qualified soldier."
"However, we will divide it up in detail. These eight words have another priority! Conquering the world is based on the premise of national stability, so as to protect the country and should be above the former."
"In other words, a soldier has a duty and responsibility to defend his country!"
Bang!
Pei Min slapped the table and stood up.
The six people in the hall were startled and looked at Pei Min uneasy.
Pei Min's passionate and generous voice came down: "Then I will ask you here, how many of you have really done these four words?"
"If a soldier cannot even defend his country, he will not be qualified to call him a soldier, and he will not be worthy of this honor. He is not worthy of even a soldier. What kind of face and ability do he have to be in the position of governor?"
"Su Wu, Cao Jie..."
The famous governor Su Wu of Guazhou, and the governor of Xizhou, Cao Yingjie of Xizhou, had already been shocked by Pei Min's attitude and almost rolled and crawled out of the shift.
"I'm humble, I'm humble in my position..." Su Wu even said in a slow manner and even claimed to have a humble in my position.
Pei Min asked mercilessly: "Among the six states, you two are the most serious in the situation of the bandits. What can I justify?"
"No, it's not that Bei Zhi doesn't do his best, but horse thieves, coming and going like the wind, too cunning, and cunning!" Su Wu kept wiping his sweat and said intermittently: "Bei Zhi has dispatched troops to rescue and encirclement many times, and has tried his best..."
Cao Yingjie was better and complained with a bitter face: "The situation between subordinates and Governor Su is almost the same. It's just that the horse thief is too cunning, but the other party is too powerful and has too many. The subordinates suspect that the horse thief who attacked Ganzhou was not real horse thief, but pretended by the grassland people. They are well-equipped and well-trained. They are all first-class riding and archery. The subordinates fought desperately to pursue the enemy many times, but they could not help them."
Pei Min looked at the two of them and laughed angryly: "What a cunning one, what a great opponent!"
"I can tell you the reason now. You are stupid when the enemy is cunning! You are incompetent when the enemy is powerful!"
"I, Pei Min, can let go of my words. There are no absolutely powerful opponents in this world, nor absolutely smart enemies. If the enemy is not smart enough, it is because you are too stupid and not strong enough, it is because you are too weak!"
"It is your weakness and stupidity that sets off the wisdom and strength of your enemies!"
"It's not scary than the enemy. What's scary is that you know that you are stupid and do nothing. It's not scary than others. What's scary is that you know that you are weak and don't work hard to become stronger!"
Pei Min's words were like thunder and storm. The six people under the oppression felt a little difficult to breathe and became rapid unconsciously.
Pei Min looked at the two men who were already sweating profusely, pointed to the outside and said word by word: "You are not qualified to call them soldiers, and you are not qualified to hold the position of governor! From now on, you are no longer governors, and you are not qualified to participate in this meeting..."
