Chapter 124
There is a huge grain plate in the hall.

When Ma Yuan attacked Wei Xiao, he imitated the miniature model of rivers and mountains in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, gathered rice into valleys, and pointed to draw the situation. Since then, military strategists have followed suit.

It's just that the five grains are difficult to gather and form. After gradually improving by later generations, the plate is made of loess and red clay. The sculpture effect is excellent, but Ma Fubo's creation is still respected, and it is called the five grain plate.

The four passes in Luoyang are important places for military strategists, and there are always five grain plates in the meeting hall to mark the surrounding geography, so that the generals guarding the pass can discuss and explain.

At this time, Yuan Cheng pointed to the area of ​​Liang State to the east of Hulao, and reported to King Wei,

"The situation in Liang Guo was as expected, Gao Yang was very happy after receiving the secret letter.

He hosted a banquet in honor of Lu Xidao, and then ordered Qi soldiers and horses to set off to Feihu Valley to intercept Changsun Dao on a certain day.

Entering Hebei from Beiping, as long as you guard the natural danger of Feihu Valley, unless the enemy can really glide like a flying fox for hundreds of feet, otherwise, Pianjia will not want to enter the four states.

General Gao Yang has been in battle for a long time. Although Changsun Dao has recharged his energy for a long time, he has little chance to help him hone his soldiers.

The minister thought that if he saw General Gao Yang in Feihu Valley, he would not dare to start a war rashly.

In this way, the threat of the two armies in the east has been resolved. "

"very good!
Li Biao, immediately draw up two edicts for me.

Together, they deprived the prince of Peking and downgraded him to the Duke of Peking.

Together, we will fight against the heavens.

Immediately send a fast horse to General Gao's camp, and ask him to pass the first edict to Changsun Dao.

If he obediently obeys the edict and returns to the fiefdom, then that's all, and the rebellion edict will be destroyed on the spot.

If he dared to resist the decree, he would trouble General Gao to hold the decree against the thieves. "

"promise!"

Li Biao agreed, so he leaned over his desk and began to write the imperial edict.

Yuan Hong turned his head and asked Yuan Yi again,

"Approximately how many soldiers and horses does Tujinghu have?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Tujing Hu was originally a nomad outside the pass, and his king Xinzhi.

Tribal people, regardless of men, women, old or young, are soldiers on horseback.

King Xinzhi raised the banner of Tianzun and gathered some tribes around him.
There should be about ten thousand young and strong men. "

"Well, how many soldiers and horses do Shuozhou Yuanbin have?"

"Yuan Bin is directly under the army, and there are only about eight thousand.

Although there is a large gap in the total strength of the two sides.

But the Hu people are free-roaming, while Yuan Bin's troops are well-equipped with fine soldiers and provisions.

Not necessarily impossible to fight. "

Yuan Hong nodded slightly and sighed,

"Although there is no certainty of victory, six out of ten soldiers and horses in the world are out of control, and I have no better chess pieces to use.

In this way, Xi Kangsheng supported Yuan Bin.

General Xi alone can be the enemy of ten thousand people.

With his help, Yuan Bin's chances of winning should be greater. "

Yuan Yi agreed.

King Wei asked Li Chong again,
"Has Shao Fu ever gone to see Master Transitional Emotional Tribulation?"

Li Chong was originally the head of the empress dowager Fengyue's disciples,

It was somewhat embarrassing to be asked directly like this.

He looked slightly embarrassed, and replied politely,

"Return to Your Majesty, but I have seen it before.

Dashi has made up his mind not to get involved in worldly affairs any more. "

"However, the current matter cannot help her to be sympathetic."

"Yes, my lord understands.

The secret letter to Yuan Sili has already been obtained from the Dashi.

I believe that with this secret letter, Genji should be on the sidelines for the time being.

If Mu Tai had nothing to gain, he would definitely not have made any moves. "

"He didn't move, I couldn't do it.

In the current situation, nothing can go wrong.

Grand Tutor, please make up an imperial edict,
In addition to Yuan Huaizheng, the general of Peking University and the governor of Xiazhou. "

Hearing this, Li Chong didn't understand why King Wei chose this moment to stab Yuanhuai directly?

He looked terrified and murmured,
"What, what?"

Yuan Hong rolled his eyes at him, and then said,

"Zhuan Yuanqing is the governor of the military forces of Yongqi and Eastern Qin.

Plus the general of the West, the governor of Yongzhou. "

Transferred from Longxi to Sanqin, this is a change of defense at the same level.

But as soon as Yuan Huai's army withdrew, Yuan Ying became the largest force in the Northwest, sticking behind Mu Tai.

The king of Zhongshan is very loyal to the present center, and he is definitely a force that can be honored.

After the death of Xianzu, Empress Dowager Feng just wooed the two big families of Yuanshi and Lushi to hold the current position.

The Yuan and Lu families can be said to be the biggest help for Yuan Hong to become emperor.

It was Queen Mother Feng who made them rich back then, and this alliance of interests still exists to some extent.
They were worried that their status would be shaken when Empress Dowager Feng left. Yuan Hong actually understood these sympathies.

Lu Rui has already raised the flag to rebel, and the arrow is on the string, but if Yuan Huai can persuade him, then Huairou is the best.

Let Yuanhuai know that Empress Dowager Feng is not dead, and there is no intention to liquidate Genji today, so it is unlikely that Genji will openly resist the order before the situation becomes clear.

Yuan Hong's move killed two birds with one stone, and squeezed the opponent's psychological endurance to the limit. It not only temporarily appeased Genji, but also helped Yuan Ying control the northwest, which is really clever.

At this moment, Li Chong already understood, and immediately started to prepare the imperial edict.

Yuan Hong focused his eyes on the grain plate, his eyes gradually blurred, and he remained silent for a long time.

Yuan Cheng didn't dare to disturb, but just quietly stood aside.

"Ren Chengwang, that younger sister of yours is not too young, why hasn't she promised her?"

Yuan Hong suddenly asked about Yuan Chuntuo, which was quite beyond Yuan Cheng's expectation, and he didn't know where Wei Wang thought of at this time.

"Back to Your Majesty, Cunda's temperament...

It is really difficult to find a suitable family.

Those with a high family background are afraid that she will not be able to stand the constraints, and if they have a low family background, she will definitely not want to marry.

so……"

"I reckon, betroth her to Mu Tai's eldest son, Mu Bozhi, and you will send her off in person.

How do you like it? "

"Well, I'm afraid she..."

"What, what, I want to take down Mu Tai without bloodshed!
The army horses under him are all my great Wei cavalry,
I don't want to quarrel with myself in vain, and see the men of the Great Wei killing each other.

In this rebellion, apart from the fact that the Tujing Hu tribe should be wiped out with thunderous means to make an example of others,

The other parties involved are all my Great Wei Factions, and I don't want to fight a bad battle with them at all.

If all four roads are equal, Mu Tai, will he still insist on tearing faces with me? "

"But Mutai has already shown his counter chess..."

"Take it easy.

Mu Boxzhi's ex-wife was Princess Raoyang of the late emperor, and Cundo did not humiliate her by marrying her.

Besides, if Lao Tzu rebelled, as long as the son is willing to repent, it may not be impossible for him to be used again.

Didn't I protect Lu Hongdu too?
Even if it is really impossible to keep her, I will make the decision and make her a good family.

Going to Pingcheng now, look at Mu Tai's face, let's do it cheaply. "

Yuan Cheng could only respond and stand aside.

"Our goal is not only to deal with this crisis, but more importantly, to preserve the national power of Great Wei to the maximum extent.

Otherwise, Rouran and Xiao Qi will take advantage of our internal weakness to stab us.

Tuyuhun, Gaoche, and Goguryeo will also take the opportunity to escape our control.

Our real enemy is always on the outside. I have told you more than once about the high-rise building from the perspective of King Wu.

If you all understand, then you should put the overall situation first, let go of your prejudices, and unite all forces that can be united.

Inheritance of the throne, the old system of on-duty, are all ridiculous clichés in front of real power.

Only by strengthening our great Wei can we truly defend everyone's interests.

I believe that Mu Tai, Lu Rui, Yuan Huai, and Changsun Dao will eventually understand this.

There are unavoidable undercurrents in every country.

I not only want to win this battle, but also win beautifully.

Then we can sit back and watch the mountains and rivers, laughing and watching the surrounding forces fall apart because of betting on the wrong situation.

At that time, it was the real sunrise of my Great Wei! "

This passage was spoken impassionedly, and the hearts of all the listeners in the audience were full of anger and blood.

Li Chong and Li Biao's two pens dance like dragons and snakes, and they write vigorously like chicken blood.

When the morning sun rises, Wei will have a new look.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

There are a lot of knowledge points that need to be supplemented in this section. For example, did the Northern and Southern Dynasties really have distilled wine?Can I have watermelon?At that time, Mr. Jin Yong was picked on by "people of insight" because of the appearance of watermelons in his works.Mr. Jin Yong has a good temper, so he didn't say anything.It doesn't matter, the author will rehabilitate his old man.But let's put these aside first, let's finish talking about Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

first!Must mention this first! Of course, the book "Historical Records" has authoritative academic value, but it does not mean that everything he recorded is correct.We know that Tai Shigong is a copyist, so although he himself doesn't know the surnames of the pre-Qin period, he copied the titles almost exactly.Therefore, the authenticity of the records in "Historical Records" is related to the authenticity of the books he copied. We still need to compare them with other contemporary classics to find the truth.For example, the unearthed book "Bamboo Book Chronicles", such as the Qin and Han bamboo slips unearthed by archeology.

There is a very famous "Zhao Zhengshu" in "BJ University Tibetan Bamboo Books of the Western Han Dynasty".Zhao Zheng, also known as Zhao Zheng, was the real name of Qin Wangzheng when he was young.Calling Qin Shihuang by Zhao Zheng is actually a title that does not recognize Qin Shihuang's throne.In this brief article, it records the theory of the crown prince that is different from that in "Historical Records".Therefore, some scholars believe that because of the incomplete history of Qin at that time, there were many theories about the establishment of an heir by the King of Qin, and "Historical Records" only copied one of them.Through comparison, we can find that what Tai Shigong copied was the version when Chen She (also known as Chen Sheng) started the incident in "The Chen She Family".The relationship between Han and King Chen should be known to everyone. King Chen was the instigator of the war against Qin. In the battle of Xiang Liu, Liu Bang recruited a lot of King Chen's old troops, so that he could check and balance with the overlord of Chu and finally seize the world.Tai Shigong copied Chen Wang and said that this approach is very easy to understand from now on.

In "Zhao Zhengshu", it is written about the establishment of the heir of the king of Wei:
The prime minister Si and Yu Shichen went to Ji Mo and died and said: "The road is far away and the ministers are in the imperial edict period. I am afraid that the ministers will have plans. Please make Hu Hai the successor." The king said: "Yes."

……

King Hu Haifu of Qin listened and followed his will. He killed his elder brothers Fusu and Lieutenant Tian, ​​made Gao the Lang Zhongling, and traveled all over the world.In the next three years, he wanted to kill Prime Minister Si again..., King Hu Haifu of Qin heard this, and killed Si.

According to the records of "Zhao Zhengshu", it was Li Si and a censor named Quji who jointly petitioned to make Hu Hai his heir.There was nothing wrong with Zhao Gao, and it was Hu Hai who killed Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​and Li Si in the end, without Zhao Gao's shadow.

This record is subversive for Fusu, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao.How do we look at this problem dialectically?Then we should get to know a few people more deeply.

The first person is Chen Sheng, this person is definitely not a simple farm worker.With the popularization rate of culture at that time, how could a person who kept saying "If you are rich, don't forget each other" and "A sparrow knows the ambition of a great swan" have no family background?Especially in the Qin Dynasty, the scope of activities of the clan was relatively small, and Chen Sheng should be a down-and-out aristocrat of the Chen Kingdom.This can also be seen from the fact that he broke through Chen County and Chen City and easily won the support of the three elders and Chen Yu.Chen Sheng is very good at making up stories, as we have already said in the text.In "Chen She's Family", he once recorded such a passage: "I heard that the youngest son of the second generation should not be established. The one who should be established is the son Fusu. Fusu used several remonstrances to envoy foreign generals. I may not be guilty today. , the second generation will kill him." When Chen She mentioned that the second generation should not be established, he used the word "I heard" and there is no source.The matter did not involve Zhao Gao.The most original version of the story should be usurped.

Second, let's talk about Zhao Gao.Zhao Gao's blackening is a very unimaginable thing.First of all, the history of Qin Dynasty is incomplete, and there is no biography of Zhao Gao. Our understanding of Zhao Gao is the image of supporting villains recorded in "The Chronicle of the First Emperor", "Li Si Biography", and "Meng Tian Biography".First of all, these sets of biographies are really fictional, because they record a lot of secret talks and conspiracies, inner activities, confessions of decent people before committing suicide... What kind of theologian opened the perspective of God to record this?All kinds of signs show that Zhao Gao is a serious historian and a man of knowledge. He was born in Zhao Guogong, and his father and brother died in the Battle of Changping.Zhao Gao was 17 years old, and he was a history student in the entrance room (published "Bamboo Slips from the Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land"). At the age of 20, he was removed from history, and at the age of 23, he was the first to be removed as a minister of history. With the ability of a knife and a pen, he entered the Qin Palace ("Historical Records").Later, "Yuan Li".Seeing this, do you have a question mark here? Zhao Gao himself is a historian, how could he be so self-defeating in the historical manuscript?There is a saying in China, "When a person is destroyed, his name is destroyed first; when a country is destroyed, its history is destroyed first." The disappearance of Qin Shi is also a historical mystery.Is the lack of Qin history a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and why is the No. 1 historian of the Qin State turned out to be the mastermind behind everything?In the era of copying books at that time, once a set of history books was burned, it might really never survive in the world again.The truth of the history of that dynasty is left to others to comment on.

For Zhao Gao, the deepest impression left on people is nothing more than turning a deer into a horse.Most people have only seen half of this story.If you continue to read this passage in "The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang", this is a very clever suspense stalk.The book says that Zhao Gao regards a deer as a horse, and everyone in the court is afraid of heights.Immediately afterwards, I wrote about the invasion of the Kanto, and Xiang Yu broke Qin Yuju's "deer".Liu Bang broke through Wuguan, and the second generation dreamed of a "horse".Liu Bang sent someone to communicate with Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao chose "horse".Colluded with his son-in-law Yan Le to oppose Hu Hai.At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Ziying presented the pass and descended to Liu Bang, creating the etiquette of surrendering white "horse" plain chariots.Zhao Gao is actually Liu Bang's barb!In this plot, both "deer" and "horse" are pointed out. The historians of the Han Dynasty cleverly used Liu Bang's collusion with Zhao Gao's public opinion, and completely passed on the black spot to Zhao Gao through the novel plot.

Comparing the bamboo slips of the Han and Qin Dynasties, we can know that the history of Qin in the Han Dynasty is a novel style after destroying the real history.The real history of Qin, the harem of the King of Qin, the list of descendants, the truth about the so-called burning of books and burying Confucianism, etc., can only be hoped that the bamboo slips of the Qin Mausoleum will be unearthed and deciphered.
