Mi Han

Chapter 363
The Han family has its own system, which is originally mixed with the way of overlord.

This sentence was said when the Hanzhong religion taught the prince Han Xiaoyuan.

Han Zhongzong was the one who really pushed the national power of the Western Han Dynasty to the peak, while Emperor Xiaoyuan of the Han Dynasty was the leader who brought the Western Han Dynasty into the abyss.

From the different actions of these two people in the history of the Han Dynasty, we can clearly know how correct the words Han Zhongzong said are.

It's just that even though this sentence is clearly recorded in the history books, it has always been praised by some people as the best way to govern the country.

But there are tens of millions of people in the world, and there will always be many people, like Emperor Xiaoyuan of the Han Dynasty, who think that moral education is the best way to govern.

After all, this way of governing is clearly recorded in the Confucian classics. As long as you come from a famous family, you are easily influenced by this concept of governing the country.

Just like Ma Su now.

However, most of the ministers who followed Mi Yang had experienced severe beatings by the society. They knew that if they followed the book, the country would definitely collapse.

In troubled times, human nature is inherently evil is the main theme.

Compared with the complaints of the ministers in their hearts, Mi Yang, after listening to Ma Di's advice, came up with an idea that deserved to be his.

This is very silly.

Ma Di was very controversial in later generations. Many people hated him for ruining the prime minister's Northern Expedition, but there were also many people who complained about him.

This kind of controversy stems from the famous battle of Jieting in history, and Mi Yang can also see Ma Su's two distinct personalities from that battle.

Many people in later generations believed that the street pavilion was a place that could not be defended at all. In order to support this view, many people conducted on-the-spot investigations on the imaginary street pavilion and analyzed them one by one.

Then it came to the conclusion that Ma Di had suffered "a strange injustice through the ages".

It's just that this conclusion is fundamentally untenable.

Not to mention that the location of the street pavilion in history is controversial, nor to mention whether the local landscape will change after thousands of years of changes.

For example, Zhuge Liang, who is a military master in the present age, and Zhuge Wuhou, one of the great sages of the Wu Temple in later generations, would he not know whether Jieting can withstand the attack of the Wei army?
How could Zhuge Liang, who has a cautious personality, let go of such basic common sense mistakes.

People with this view are simply insulting Zhuge Liang's IQ.

Perhaps with the strength of Ma Su at that time, it was not easy to keep the street pavilion for a long time.

But since Zhuge Liang would send Ma Di to lead the troops, he specially arranged all the matters after arriving at Jieting before Ma Di left.

This is enough to show that it was absolutely fine for Ma Di to guard the street pavilion for a period of time.

Of course, the premise is that Ma Di does not violate Zhuge Liang's order.

After all, Zhuge Liang wanted to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and he didn't mean to send Ma Su to his death on purpose.

As a result, after Ma Di arrived at Jieting, the series of coquettish operations he made, not to mention Wang Ping could not understand, probably also confused Zhang He.

It is estimated that the mentality of Wang Ping and Zhang Yun at that time was the same as that of the ministers behind Mi Yang now.

It is Ma Di's biggest weakness in character to be so overjoyed and divorced from reality.

Not to mention that Ma Di is an excellent adviser, not suitable for marching and fighting.

In today's world, there is no separation between civil and military affairs, and if you are out of touch with reality, you will lose the foundation of being an excellent adviser.

After listening to Ma Di's advice, Mi Yang didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Fortunately, he is not Ma Di's lieutenant now.

On the surface, Ma Di's advice sounds clear and logical, but after actual research, it will be found that it is very vague, and most of them are copied from the book.

And it can be used as a template for panacea to answer most questions.

Attacking the heart is the first thing, who doesn't understand the truth of reading military books?
But you have to come up with specific countermeasures to achieve the effect of attacking the heart first.

Facing Ma Di's suggestion, Mi Yang was silent for a while.

Ma Di would say these words to him, from the heart, he expressed kindness to him.

"Good discussion of strategies" is originally a prominent style of writing in Ma Di's history.

Just because he knew Ma Di's true intentions and because he had Zhuge Liang's face in mind, Mi Yang resisted the urge to reprimand Ma Di.

After silence, Mi Yang said to Ma Su:
"Gu was taught by His Majesty in his early years that he knew that there are six ministers in Kuangji.

Among the six righteous ministers, they can clearly observe the success or failure, prevent them early and save them, block them, cut off their sources, turn danger into blessing with the force of thunder, and the king will have no worries in the end. Those who do this are wise ministers.

Although Gu did not dare to claim to be the wise minister of the Han Dynasty, he has always used this to work for himself.

As for the act of putting benevolence, righteousness, and morality first as mentioned by the Shangshu, it is not what a wise minister should do alone. "

Although Mi Yang didn't refute Ma Su directly, anyone could feel the alienation and dissatisfaction in his words.

After Ma Di realized this, he was a little embarrassed.

The reason why he took the initiative to speak to Mi Yang, apart from his character, was also because Ma Di now understood Zhuge Liang's intention to make him befriend Mi Yang.

But I didn't expect to get this response in addition to actively releasing my kindness.

Ma Di thinks what he said is right, why does Mi Yang do this?
Mi Yang's indifference towards Ma Di was not just that.

Now that Ma Di's mission has been completed, Mi Yang doesn't want to have too much communication with Ma Di.

He coughed slightly, and Deng Ai, who was his confidant, immediately stepped forward knowingly.

Before and after Deng Ai came to Ma Su, he bowed and asked him to go to the posthouse in the city to rest.

Although Deng Ai's etiquette is very good, but Ma Su also noticed that it seems that the emperors and ministers in Liangzhou don't welcome him very much.

He is also an arrogant person, and since he is aware of this, he will not stay anymore.

Respectfully sent off by Deng Ai, he led his entourage out of the hall.

After Ma Di left, Mi Yang turned around helplessly and said to the courtiers behind him:
"In the past, when Dong Shilang came, he didn't feel any difference. Now that he has changed to Ma Shangshu, he knows how good Dong Shilang is."

Hearing what Mi Yang said, all his confidant ministers couldn't help but smile.

Mi Yang's words did not directly comment on Ma Di, but his comments also implicitly expressed his views on Ma Di.

But Mi Yang is not someone who will be affected by personal emotions.

For Ma Di, Liu Beiming's "reprimand" edict to Mi Yang may only be one of his tasks.

But for Mi Yang, this matter is the most favorable guarantee for him to carry out drastic reforms in Liangzhou.

As Mi Yang said, Zhichen is good at turning disaster into blessing.

The previous turmoil in the camp was a disaster for him, but he used the event of quelling the turmoil to establish a strong authority in Nanzheng.

But even so, he can't do whatever he wants in Nanzheng.

After all, he is Liu Bei's minister, and he can't directly implement many reforms beyond Liu Bei.

The power is in his hands, but the name is in Liu Bei's hands.

Any political reform without the support of the king will inevitably fail in the end.

Because of this, Mi Yang specially wrote a letter to Liu Bei informing him of taking Wu Yi's military power.

It is true that he is performing the duties of a courtier, but he is also secretly testing Liu Bei's views on this matter.

If Liu Bei blames him for this matter, or writes back to tell him to be cautious.

Then for a series of follow-up reforms, he must go back to Chengdu in person to tell Liu Bei the political blueprint in his heart, hoping to get his support.

Mi Yang had expected that Liu Bei might support him before, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to support him so thoroughly.

There is no need to play everything, since Liu Bei has said so in front of the world, then he will not be polite.

This is the benefit of being under Liu Bei's command, not only personal safety can be guaranteed.

And as long as you can gain Liu Bei's trust, then the trust he will give you in return will definitely exceed ordinary people's imagination.

Mi Yang looked at Fa Miao behind him, and asked him, the chief steward of Liangzhou, "How is the elimination of the army going?"

This matter has already started after Wei Yan entered the Nanzheng camp.

Although Wei Yan has a lot of flaws in his personality, one of his advantages is that as long as you can convince him, he will obey orders in major matters.

The key to weeding out all the old and weak in the tens of thousands of troops is whether the generals and schools at all levels will honestly report the situation of the sergeants in each department.

This may not have been easy to do before.

But under the deterrence of nearly a hundred heads, now Mi Yang doesn't want the list of sergeants, even if he wants the list of family members of the whole army, those generals and schools will definitely work very hard to complete this matter.

With the active cooperation of many parties, this matter was carried out very quickly.

Facing Mi Yang's question, Fa Miao immediately replied: "In a few days, our army will be able to weed out the old and weak soldiers. At that time, I will sort out a rough list and give it to Uncle Mu for viewing."

After hearing Fa Miao's answer, Mi Yang nodded.

almost a month.

Fa Miao's work efficiency is definitely not comparable to that of later generations, but in today's world, it is already considered very fast.

But Mi Yang still said: "For the sake of the country, I want to weed out the old and the weak.

It's just that those old and weak soldiers fought for the big man in the past. After they are eliminated, corresponding compensation must be indispensable. "

After saying this, Mi Yang looked at Wang Hong who was at the side.

Wang Hong is no longer the county magistrate of Shangyong, but Cao Changshi, who was just appointed by Mi Yang.

Since Si Wencao is very similar to some intelligence and supervision agencies in later generations, as the chief of such a vital agency, his ability does not need to be outstanding, but he must be loyal enough to him.

Among the ministers under Mi Yang's command, Wang Hong is undoubtedly the most satisfied with this point.

Mi Yang looked at Wang Hong and said, "You will assist Manjusri in this matter."

After hearing Mi Yang's order, Wang Hong respectfully accepted it.

Of course he knew why Mi Yang asked him to assist Fa Miao, and also what Mi Yang asked him to assist Fa Miao.

Since the day Si Wencao was founded, most of their assistance was bloody.

After arranging this point, Mi Yang turned his head to Fa Miao and said, "After weeding out the old and the weak, you must immediately start to disrupt the army and reorganize the camp."

When Mi Yang said these words, his tone revealed caution.

Because everything he has done before, including releasing the military power with a glass of wine and eliminating the old and weak in the army, is all for this step.

In ancient times, if you want to completely let an army obey your orders, it is useless to simply collect soldier symbols.

Not to mention anything else, Mi Yang can move his direct line army at will without the need for a tiger talisman.

The Han Dynasty was an era when talented people came forth in large numbers. If Mi Yang could do this, others could do it too.

To completely control an army, the best way is to replace most of the middle and grassroots backbones in the army with his people, just like he trained in the deep valley outside Shangyong City before.

There are tens of thousands of Hanzhong's army, and at least thousands of middle and grassroots are needed.

And although after the battle of Xiangfan, Mi Yang's [-] descendants lost a lot, but thousands of people can still be taken out.

In the case of the turmoil in the Nanzheng camp, Mi Yang let his direct sergeants replace the generals and schools at all levels in the original Hanzhong army, and he also had a good reputation.

After the turmoil, there must be a change of blood, which is the norm in the army.

Coupled with the fact that Mi Yang's direct army followed him to fight in the north and south, and made a lot of achievements in battle, it is reasonable to promote them to become generals and schools at all levels.

Because this matter is very important to Mi Yang, in the end Mi Yang still reminded Fa Miao emphatically:

"This matter is critical to the future of Liangzhou.

You'll want to start arranging this as soon as possible, but there's no need to feel pressured to rush through the process.

Everything should be done step by step. "

Mi Yang's warning also made Fa Miao serious, he bowed to Mi Yang and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Mu, I will be cautious."

Seeing that Fa Miao had listened to his warning, Mi Yang smiled slightly.

Although Fa Miao was not as stunningly talented as Fazheng, he was also a faithful minister.

For a follower, what they are best at is implementing the meaning of their superiors and completing tasks well.

After ordering the two important matters, Mi Yang asked Fa Miao and other officials to retreat first.

After Fa Miao and others left the hall one after another, Mi Yang came to sit down in front of his memorial.

After sitting down, he subconsciously picked up the writing brush on the case, trying to write something.

However, due to some concerns in his heart, he held the brush but never started to write.

Just when Mi Yang was anxious, Guan Yan came to the hall holding some fruit points.

After Guan Yan arrived, seeing Mi Yang's hesitation, she couldn't help asking Mi Yang out of curiosity.

Seeing that it was Guan Yan asking himself, Mi Yang expressed his inner concerns.

The reason why Mi Yang raised the brush was because he wanted to write a letter to Zhuge Liang.

In his letter, he wanted to remind Zhuge Liang that Ma Di's exaggerations should be used with caution.

Mi Yang has only one purpose for doing this, that is, he doesn't want Zhuge Liang to have the stain of Ma Di in his name like in history.

Those who respect Master must regard his reputation as more important than their own.

But before writing, Mi Yang thought that Ma Di's status in Zhuge Liang's heart is not low now.

In history, Liu Bei also told Zhuge Liang to be careful about this, but Zhuge Liang didn't listen.

Then how much effect can he write this letter?
After understanding Mi Yang's worries, Guan Yan said with a smile: "Respecting the teacher and respecting the way lies in the heart, but also in the practice."

"The unity of heart and action is the best way to fulfill filial piety.

Since the husband has such worries in his heart, the husband who is a disciple must inform the prime minister of the worries in his heart. This is the filial piety of a husband.

As for whether the prime minister will obey your husband, that is not something that your husband can control, and you don't need to hesitate because of this.

Husband just do what he should do.If the behavior of respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao is to consider whether it will be successful before deciding to do it, then is this really respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao? "

When Guan Yan's explanation fell into Mi Yang's ears, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.

Seen in obstacles, but limited by obstacles.

He is a time traveler and has some advantages of a prophet, but sometimes these advantages also make him confused.

As Guan Yan said, he doesn't have the ability to change Zhuge Liang's thoughts, but he should have the consciousness to do his duty as a disciple.

After understanding this, Mi Yang immediately began to write.

I hope this letter can help Zhuge Liang in the future.
