Chapter 565
Zhang said he looked at these big guys.Zuo servant shot Wei Juyuan, servant Wei Anshi, and Taifu Qing Wei Sili concurrently served as the third rank of Zhongshu's servant and Tong Zhongshu's sect.Think again about Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Weiqing, Wei Wei, Wei Qi, Wei Qi, Wei Rui, Wei Wen's nephew Gao Song, Wei Cou and his two sons Wei Xuxin. , Wei Xuzhou, and many more Wei officials whose names he can't even remember.

Looking at these four bosses, and thinking about Zhu Wei, you can understand why Li Xian's power is so emptied.

Then Zhongshu ordered Xiao Zhizhong, Li Qiao and Zhang Renyuan were the third ranks of Tongzhongshu, Cui Shi, Zheng Yin and Zhao Yanzhao were Zhongshu's servants and colleagues, and Su Yu was the right servant.

Just the prime minister, the truth, the false, and the truth, there are actually ten people, not to mention redundant officials, seeing these ten prime ministers, four from the Wei family, Li Qiao is a flatterer, Zhang Renyuan is too scared to speak now, Zhao Yanzhao is young and bold, with a good character, and has a good relationship with Zhang Shuo. When Zhang Shuo and Wang Hua talked about this person, Wang Hua said lightly: "Oh, isn't it the flatterer who flatters a witch and treats her as a aunt? ?"

Wang Hua refers to Zhao Yanzhao, in order to take a shortcut to get in the position, a witch surnamed Zhao entered and exited the palace by pretending to be a ghost, so regardless of shame, she worshiped her as an aunt, and then relied on her to introduce her, dressed in women's clothes, and worshiped Li with his wife Xian, after a lot of flattery, he performed a girl's play, so Li Xian was asked to support him to become the prime minister.

Wang Hua just said a word, and Zhang Shuo intends to completely draw a line with him from now on.

Not to mention Cui Shi and Zheng Yin, they have already taken refuge in Webster.

Su Yuan is a clean and honest official, but unfortunately he is a kind person.Xiao Zhizhong is very upright, but it's a pity that he can't support himself alone.

That is to say, among the ten prime ministers, at least six of them were controlled by Webster, and three of them dared not speak.

How can Li Xian issue orders to the court?

Then look at the big bosses of the six Jiuqing Yushitai, and the situation is even worse.

Li Xian actually asked these people for their opinions.

But for the sake of the country, he bowed deeply: "Everyone, Ministers, for the sake of the country and the people, please let go of your grievances."

Wei Juyuan said displeasedly: "Zhang Shilang, please be careful with what you say. Public and private are clearly distinguished. Do you mean that we have brought our grievances to the court?"

This is the fact, but Zhang said that he couldn't say it.

Wei Juyuan obviously didn't pay much attention to Zhang's theory. He turned to Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shilang suggested that the minister disagree. Once this case is established, the Tang Dynasty will suffer endless troubles. In the future, if any frontier minister is dissatisfied with the court, he will openly conspire against him. Chaos, what should the court do? One by one, they have to give in to them one by one, and they have to spend money to eliminate disasters and comfort their insatiable hearts? Who will be the minister and who will be the king? Just like this time Guo Yuanzhen is already learning The king painted it. Why did the imperial court issue three imperial edicts, but he still used troops against Tuyuhun? This will put the imperial court in danger."

Wei Juyuan didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned Zhang Shuo, he became angry. He took a step forward and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it was rumored that some time ago, the imperial court sold out the interests of several provinces in Lingyan and Shanhe in exchange for cooperation with Tubo, The Turks teamed up. However, if they failed to make peace, the Tubo and Turks unscrupulously attacked and harmed the people on the border. This has become a shame and a joke of the court. Now it is reported that the court has three decrees a day, so that General Xue Na is not allowed to attack Mo Chuai , Sit back and watch this hero escape from the desert. Is this true? And why did Guo Yuanzhen stop attacking Tuyuhun? Did the court forget the nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians who died in Dafeichuan in the first year of Xianheng? Did the court forget Yifeng San The [-]+ army that died in Qinghai in the year? Have you forgotten the nearly [-] army that died in the first battle of Suluo Mountain in the first year of Tiaolu? Now even God has given the Tang Dynasty a chance to revitalize the Western Regions. Your Majesty, don’t you Don't you want the Tang Dynasty's martial arts to be brilliant? Don't you want the people on the border to be peaceful?"

Li Xian blushed a little with embarrassment, not because he didn't want to, but mainly because his words didn't work now.

Zhang Shuo turned his head to look at Wei Juyuan again, and said, "I won't talk about the significance of occupying Dafeichuan. Besides, Guo Yuanzhen doesn't even have the military and financial resources in the Central Plains. Why don't you let him do it? Could it be that Mr. Wei, you and What are the relatives of the Tuyuhun people in Tubo?”

"Zhang Shilang, please learn to speak, do, and people! And understand the meaning of a certain sentence, so I would like to ask you, is Wang Hua's practice in Bazhou correct?"

Zhang Shuo was speechless again. From the perspective of the court, Zhang Shuo couldn't be right.But in the final analysis, it was caused by Webster's killing of Wang Hua, but because of Li Xian's acquiescence later, Zhang said it was also difficult to bring it up.

"Since it's wrong, why compromise? Has there ever been a monarch who compromised with his courtiers? Yes, that is Emperor Xian of Han. Do you want our Majesty to be Emperor Xian of Han?"

The big hat was pressed down, and Zhang said that his head was sweating.He said in his heart, no wonder Wang Hua said that he would be the prime minister in the future, but not now.When the prime minister, I am far behind.

Wei Juyuan changed the subject and said: "Of course, peace is the most important thing. If Wang Hua realizes his remorse and obeys the arrangement of the court, he might as well be the head of Lingzhou to fight against the Tubo Turks. Some rewards can also be given to the blood camp, such as Food, salaries, cloth and other supplies. But there are a few points that Wang Hua must implement, the first Wang Hua must not send any troops to the court, and the second blood battalion is the army of the court, please hand over the blood battalion to the court immediately."

Zhang said that when he first heard about it, he thought that Wei Juyuan had changed his mind. As long as the court distributed a large amount of food and military salaries, it would be tantamount to negotiating terms with Zhu Dian.This is a feasible way.But the next sentence popped up, Zhang Shuolian said that this person is nothing.

The blood battalion sent troops to threaten the imperial court. As long as the conditions are negotiated, I believe it will not be difficult to withdraw the troops.But who can make Wang Hua hand over the blood camp?Simply tell Wang Hua, lower your head and let the old man wipe your face off.

Enraged by Wei Juyuan, he sat down without speaking.

After Wei Juyuan finished speaking, he also sat down without even looking at Zhang Shuo.

But another person stood up again, and Wei Wen said: "Your Majesty, I have another idea. In fact, this time Wang Hua is in a hurry, and it is also food. Although he got a lot of food last year, there are more people in his territory this year, just as Zhang Shilang said that most of the people eat morning and night. So Wang Hua is now sending out troops regardless of success or failure. In fact, this is also the deadliest place in the blood camp. If the blood camp wants to get food, it is obviously unrealistic for the north to be Turkic, and the south is Tubo, even if they agree to let it go, he has no ability to transport grain from that snowy region. To the west is the desert thousands of miles away, and then there is the powerful Dashi, which is even more impossible. The only way is to transport grain back from our Tang Dynasty. Now We only need to transfer the food from Yandan, Qingwei, Qinwu and other states back to the inland immediately, so that he will not be able to get food even if he sends troops. Our army sticks to the tall city walls and does not come out to preserve our strength. In this way, wherever he passes, we must Occupy a place, otherwise there will be danger. But he himself does not have many troops, and it is said that even the prisoners of war in Tubo have been used by him. Therefore, the larger the area occupied, the fewer troops can be used. Then Send people into his territory to spread rumors and make the people panic. Within a month, the blood camp will be in chaos."

Zhang said that he didn't want to talk when he sat down, but after hearing Wei Wen's words, he couldn't help standing up again and said, "Mr. Si Wei, please be clear-headed, please. You are now a prime minister, so you have to think through your brain when you speak."

What he was talking about was reconciliation, which would benefit both. These people wanted to grasp whether Wang Hua was doing right or wrong, and Zhang said there was nothing he could do.But it doesn't mean that Zhang Shuo was captured by these people.

Xiao Zhizhong and Su Xuan lowered their heads and wanted to laugh at the sound of Siwei Xianggong.But I also admired it in my heart. Anyway, everyone was shameless, and the dirty water was splashed around, but Zhang said it was so clever.Sure enough, Li Xian's face twitched when he heard Siwei Xianggong.

When Wu Zetian was alive, in order not to let the government fall into the hands of one family, Wei Juyuan was not used when Wei Anshi was used, and Wei Anshi was not used when Wei Juyuan was used.But now I have used four members of the Wei family as prime ministers.This is the top of the pyramid.There are about 20 other officials of the fourth rank, fifth rank and sixth rank and related relatives. I don’t know how many people are in the back row of the seventh rank.

At first, I thought it was a reward for my wife's love, but now I realized that it finally caused a disaster.

Zhang said that he was still talking: "You sent people to spread rumors. Well, I am a little servant, and I will do an analysis for you. What is the situation in Bazhou now? The business in Bazhou is more prosperous than before. The result of Wang Hua's encouragement. But there is one thing, only food is not sold, it is all purchased by the blood camp, 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. They send their children to join the army. The second part is distributed according to poverty and shortage. The third part is given out from pastures as arable land compensation. This is all distributed free of charge. May I ask if you just sent people to spread rumors, what effect will it have? It’s a price increase, it’s panic, and you won’t get anything. On the contrary, it has stimulated the people’s resentment towards the imperial court even more. Maybe in order to survive, they encourage their children to join the army, capture our Chaozhou County, and rob food.”

"Let's talk about the first one, yes, it is a way to evacuate the food from the states and counties. But do you know how many days the blood camp will be occupied? You can't let the remaining people starve for a month or half a year, right? The blood camp is very important to these states. Counties are not interested. If they are interested, Linzhou, Diezhou, and Taozhou will be interested. This is the gateway to Jishishan, Helanyuan and other states. Xiafeng Shengyin and Liuhu Prefecture are also interested. Removed It, even if these are impoverished areas, even if they are Hu people, even if they will face the Turks, but fall into the blood camp, with these states in hand, they will not be afraid that the court will join hands with the Turks again, threatening eight The area around Lingzhou in the central area of ​​the state. Unless the Turkic people pass through the great desert in the west, but in that case, even if they pass through, the number of people will not be too many, and they will not threaten the blood camp. This is the final area of ​​the blood camp. You will other states If the grain is withdrawn from the counties, he will not care about the life and death of the people in these states and counties. He will 'buy' the grain together. If the people have nothing to eat, they will flee to the east. Think about how many people are in these dozen states, seven 80 Tens of thousands of people are mobilizing. Who will be responsible for the consequences? Also, if they are forced into a hurry, and the troops are really sent to Chang'an, why doesn't Chang'an city keep food? This is really a terrible idea!"

Compared with Wei Anshi, Wei Sili or Wei Juyuan, they have all stayed in high positions for a long time, so it is not easy to grasp the truth when speaking, Wei Wen is still a little tender.His superior position is mainly due to his relationship with Webster, he is the closest cousin in Webster's blood, there is no way, his brother was killed by the Ning family in Qinzhou, and his cousin is also good.

Therefore, I gave Zhang a refutation and was speechless.

Zhang said it hadn't stopped yet, anyway, it was spilled out.I believe that as long as Webster does not fail, I may still be used by them, and I will negotiate with Wang Hua again, and the talk is over, my little servant (this is compared to these dozen big guys, actually The servant's official position is not small) and he did it well.

He said loudly: "Just now, what the two Xianggongs (referring to Wei Juyuan, a few ministers smiled again) said, I also have doubts. I know that Wang Hua's actions are wrong, but now for the sake of the country, why not take a step back for a while. Liu Bang and Bai Deng However, what if it is in the hands of Han Wu? Besides, in this dynasty, the Turkic people were once regarded as the upper kingdom by Emperor Gaozu and Taizong, but after several decades? The blood camp must be safe, and the imperial court should not hold them back. If you want to fight the Tubo people, you want to take Jishi Mountain and Zishan Mountain, and you want to save the princess. You don’t need a single soldier from the imperial court. Even if the imperial court is hostile to them, you might as well sit and watch the two tigers fight, maybe silently remembering The feud between Xianan Hetao has turned into three tigers fighting each other. Is this a good thing? If there is no hostility towards them, you can treat them with all your heart and soul. People are full of flesh. Now their names are not correct and their words are not right. If the court does not Show hostility and gather the blood battalion. Not to mention Wang Hua, but dozens of tiger generals under the blood battalion, once they are placed in the border areas, how dare the Turkic and Tubo people come to invade? They can open the border and make great martial arts, and they can defend it Save a lot of troops, save labor and manpower and a lot of military expenditures for the country. Or you can watch them fight the Tubo people, or the Tubo people will defeat the blood camp, or at least the Tubo people will defeat them. Our Tang Dynasty is not a villain, why not do it? If Xueying defeated Tubo and forced the Tubo people to hand over Princess Jincheng, and Wang Hua fulfilled his promise, what would he do? Can he still use this name to borrow the eight states of the imperial court? ?”

This is also what he thought along the way, so when he said it loudly, it was sonorous and powerful.

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

But Li Xian once again did something that disappointed him. Li Xian looked at the dozen or so big shots and asked, "My loves, what do you think?"

Wei Sili stood up and said: "Zhang Shilang, you are really eloquent. If you don't pay attention, you will be confused. I will ask you two questions. The first question, according to your intention, the imperial court not only agreed to lend them eight states. , and now they have to use them to win Linfeng Xialin and Liuhu Erzhou, the nine state capitals. When did the court agree? Did you agree?"

So the speech of a seasoned person is different from that of an unsophisticated person.Wei Sili's question made Zhang Shuo difficult to answer.But the fact is before our eyes, if these nine state capitals let Xueying vacate, even if they put a knife on their necks, they will not agree.

"Let me ask you again, now that the blood battalion has eight prefectures with such terrifying fighting power, plus these nine prefectural capitals, if you want, you can open two more states between Jishishan and Hekuo Shan prefectures, The area has nearly tripled, and the population has more than doubled. This time they are given a chance to breathe, what will be the consequences?" After speaking, he took the map and drew it with a pen. It is a difficult to defend silkworm shape, very long, but very thin, but now after incorporating the newly nine states and Jishi Mountain into it, it becomes an inverted L shape, and there is no longer the original shape. The disadvantage of being slender, and the area is also very considerable.

If you don't paint, you don't care. Once you paint, even Zhang Shuo gasps, but it can't be said that it is impressive because the area south of Jishi Mountain has been included and becomes impressive.So it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
But Wei Sili's approach really made Zhang Shuo speechless again.

Now he has the nerve to say that the blood camp will not grow, and will it not pose no threat to the Tang Dynasty?
He glanced at Wei Anshi with his eyes, thinking that since Wang Hua regards you as the No.3 prime minister, you are always saying a word.

But Wei Anshi didn't say anything, it's not that he didn't want to talk, if he did, it would be very useful, after all, he is a member of the Wei family, and also has a high authority in the Wei family.But the main thing is that Wang Hua is too ruthless. It is possible that if he gains power, his entire family will be killed.Therefore, it is also difficult for him to choose, and this mentality also exists.So Wei Cou discussed with Wei Anshi that night, we will not harm Wang Hua, but we will not help Wang Hua either.This is their attitude and bottom line.

What's more, Zhang said that this kid is also uneasy and kind, what about Siwei Xianggong and Er Wei Xianggong, so it is obvious that Wei Sili is the third Wei Xianggong, and he is Dawei Xianggong.

He looked up at the sky.

Not everyone wears a pair of trousers with Webster, and one of them wanted to speak up several times, Su Xuan.But he was also included in Wang Hua's review list, which made him feel a little honored.But in this matter, because of this list, I can't speak anymore. As soon as I speak, I will be attacked by these people for what I have with Wang Hua.

I didn't see Zhang Renyuan, and now he is a member of the same third class under the Zhongshu sect, but this prime minister's life is even more difficult than that of a servant.

But at this moment someone finally spoke, Xiao Zhizhong coughed, and he said: "I think you have misunderstood each other's meaning when you are arguing. What Wei Pushe, Wei Zhongshu and Wei Shaobao said is right, and what Zhang Shilang said is also right." That's right. Wang Hua's crime is unforgivable, it's useless to doubt. If there is a compromise, it will be even worse. But what Zhang Shilang said is also true. If Guan Jianxue Camp is on the land of Bazhou, there are ways Deal with it. But don’t forget, he still has Oceania in the distance. It has been developed in the past year, and it is said that it has reached a population of more than 300 million. Now there are 20 soldiers in the Blood Camp drawn from Oceania. Wang Hua said It is absolutely not a lie to draw more than 28 soldiers. After all, they are slaves, and they do not need to cherish their lives and families. Therefore, if they are allowed to reach Lingnan, coupled with Wang Hua’s reputation in Lingnan. If the imperial court does not send troops to support, It is very likely that Lingnan will fall. However, Zong Chuke and Chang Yuankai lost 30 troops. How many troops can the court draw? There are also 20 troops in the northwest, plus some supporting Lingnan The army may be [-] or [-], can the court afford it? Then there is food, if Wang Hua is really driven into a desperate situation, and he has no illusions about the court, his words of manipulating food prices are definitely not false."

This is the point of the question, Zhang Yue and Su Xuan were relieved.

Wei Juyuan wanted to interrupt, Xiao Zhizhong was not Zhang Shuo, even though he also did a flattering thing, marrying his daughter to Wei's brother-in-law Cui Wuxuan, and when they got married, Li Xian was the master of the Xiao family, Wei's master of the Cui family, It was ridiculed by the people that the emperor married his daughter, and the queen married his wife.

But there is no way around it, just like what Wang Hua said, you have to be flexible, so neither Hai Rui nor Bao Zheng can be a real prime minister in their lifetime, their tempers are too straight, it may not be a good thing to sit in the phase, but it is possible will do bad things.

Xiao Zhizhong was despised by Wang Hua because of his close relationship with Princess Taiping, Wei Anshi appeared among so many people on the list, but Xiao Zhizhong did not.But this person is generally good. He also has to do things in the position of prime minister, but he can't always contradict Webster, the Wei family, and Webster's accomplices.Therefore, this marriage is also needed to resolve the increasingly fierce conflicts.Similarly, Webster also valued this marriage. After all, she had a bad reputation. Xiao Zhizhong was born in the famous Xiao family in Lanling, and was also the representative of Qingliu.That's why the ugly drama of the emperor marrying his daughter and the queen marrying his wife appeared.

But Xiao Zhizhong did not fall to Webster because of this.He would not buy Wei Juyuan's account either.Continued: "And you all neglected one thing. When Zhang Shilang came back, Wang Hua did two things. Although he didn't send troops to make trouble in Lingnan because of Zhang Shilang's persuasion, and he didn't drive up food prices, he still sent troops. But another very subtle thing was done. The three of Zong Chuke were released, and the minister heard another thing. Probably because he realized that Zong Chuke had suffered in Lingzhou, so Wang Hua sent another A large amount of jewelry and flying money, worth about [-] yuan, was given to Zong Shilang."

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'm only stating Wang Hua's intentions. I don't represent the thoughts of the ministers. It's just for your majesty's reference. He did this by sending troops. If the court continues to attack the eight states, he will also fight back. Release the three people, and give The gift is to tell us that even Zong Chuke, who has never shared his vengeance with him, has been released, and the ministers who have had a grudge against him should not mind it any more. What's more, the emperor, the queen? Does that mean that he is so Going to the imperial court a little bit?"

After saying this, Wei Wen became anxious. He wanted to speak, but Xiao Zhizhong immediately sealed his mouth and said, "Wei Shaobao, as I said just now, this is the meaning of Wang Hua's release. It has nothing to do with me. I don't want to quarrel with you." .And if the Blood Battalion soldiers send Weizhou, it will soon be Qinzhou, Fengzhou, and then your Wei family."

"You, you," Wei Wen was so angry that he couldn't refute it. Didn't he say it before, he just said Wang Hua's idea, not his idea, how to refute it?
Zhang Shuo sighed in his heart, Jiang is still old and 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 discrepancies in the records in the old and new Tang books and Zizhi Tongjian. Although he kept asking questions, he felt quite displeased. Because Webster and the party were worried, he explained the motive of Webster's poisoning, which is also a relatively reliable explanation.A person's patience is always limited, and Li Xian is not really a fool.So this book still uses a conservative point of view to evolve.

In the previous chapter, many ministers were written, some of which were mentioned in the book, and some were not mentioned, so I will not elaborate on them one by one.In short, this is also Wu Zetian's work, because many of them come from humble families, and without Wu Zetian, these people would not have stood out.It should be said that these ministers are also ministers of excellent character.Of course there are others, such as Lu Xiangxian and others.

The main fear is that everyone thinks it is water injection.

I recently read some chapters of Guanju Yipin, and most of the content is filled with water, but he is a commentary, and I am a plug, and I have also read a lot of books, but I am not talented enough, and the plug is not successful.ashamed.So the next book is destined not to write a history book. Change the taste, recharge it, and then open it again. It may be the history of the Song Dynasty.

This is also the last full month update of the book.There might be more next month, but there isn't much left.I originally wanted to open a single chapter to explain, but the main score is too poor, so I am sorry to open it.But even though the grades were not good, I was still working hard to write it so that it didn't end badly.Therefore, in the last month, I beg you to give me a face, support with subscription and monthly pass.

(One more thing, let me make a promise to everyone. As long as I am coding, I will give you at least 330 million words every year. This is my promise. This is less than the second year. At least this speed will be maintained from this year to next year. What to do, only speed and hard work can do it. Sweating again)
(End of this chapter)
