At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE
Chapter 26 Yangzhou Dispute
Chapter 26 Yangzhou Dispute
When we arrived at the state government office, the banquet had been prepared. Zhao Si took the seat first and then gave everyone a seat.
Zhao Shi picked up the tea cup and said: "Nowadays, the country is in a difficult situation and the court is in embarrassment. Therefore, we only have a meager meal. Please don't dislike it. Please use water as wine and drink a cup together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone raised their tea cups.
Four dishes and one soup were indeed not in line with the status of a banquet given by an emperor. The tea cup was not even tea, just plain water.
Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty only has two dishes for his three daily meals, one meat and one vegetarian."
Wen Tianxiang said with emotion: "Your Majesty has been frugal and dedicated to the public service to this point... If I had this awareness, why would I do this!"
Zhao Shidao said: "The central government is greedy for pleasure, and the superiors and subordinates are effective. Is it your fault?"
Wen Tianxiang had an open-minded and forthright personality, and was well-dressed and well-fed, and full of talents and talents. However, Lizong and Duzong were enjoying themselves all year round in his later years, while Jia Sidao, who had great power and monopoly, was like a bird, which led to a bad atmosphere in the country.
When the country was in crisis, Wen Tianxiang used all his family's assets as military expenses. He also said: "Those who take pleasure in others worry about others' worries, and those who eat people will die."
Chen Yizhong is incomparable in this regard.
Of course, Chen Yizhong was actually pretty good. When everyone was living in Wenzhou, Chen Yizhong took money and food from the clan to support them, so Chen Yuanxing didn't get much from his family.
During the dinner, Zhao Shi not only praised Wen Tianxiang's loyalty and courage, but also praised Du Hu and others.
"The fact that I was able to arrive is all thanks to everyone." Wen Tianxiang began to ask for credit from everyone: "Du Hu was an alert man, scouting roads, looking for food, and buying off bandits, so I and others were able to escape.
Lu Wu was originally a small soldier in the imperial army, but he was very brave. When the ministers encountered thieves, he killed more than ten thieves with his own hands, thus turning the danger into safety.
Li Chengcheng was a disciple of his ministers. He was proficient in human relations and always had good dealings with people. He was also very resourceful and could plan paths and make decisions without making any mistakes. "
Before accompanying Wen Tianxiang on his mission, Du Hu was appointed as a missionary and a military official. Now that he has returned from meritorious service, being promoted to the third level is the minimum.
However, Lu Wu and Li Cheng are white bodies, so how to use them requires a lot of thought, because too much promotion will make others jealous and dissatisfied, and too little reward will hurt the hearts of righteous people.
Zhao Shi thought for a moment and said: "Draw up an imperial edict and grant Du Huzhong San Dafu, Taizhou Governor, and the Imperial City Secretary.
He was granted the title of Lu Wu, a martial arts master, Yuhou of the Imperial Guards, and the instructor of the Imperial Guards of the Emperor. He was granted the title of Li Cheng, a martial arts master, Yuhou of the Imperial Guards, and Yuhou of the Emperor's Imperial Guards. Yuan Mingdi was awarded Gong Lang and Qian Baiguan. "
"I thank your Majesty for your grace." Li Cheng and Du Hu bowed and accepted the order.
Lu Wu bowed down and said, "Your Majesty clearly knows that I want to lead troops to the front to kill the enemy, but I don't want to live in the center and enjoy the blessings. Moreover, Prime Minister Wen has worked hard and achieved great results. Why don't you reward him?"
Yuan Mingdao: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but your Majesty has learned clearly that I am sending the Prime Minister south not for wealth and fame, but actually because I admire his loyalty and am inspired by him to serve the imperial court.
I don't want wealth now, I just want to be a soldier in the front line of the imperial army. "
Zhao Shi looked at Lu Wu and couldn't help but lament how such an upright person could survive to this day. He talked like this to the emperor, but he couldn't always talk to others to the end.
The little emperor didn't know that Lu Wu was such a straight-faced person. He always criticized other people's faults in person without leaving any room for error. As a result, he offended too many people and was killed by others looking for excuses.
However, no one is perfect. Zhao Shi did not blame him and said: "You are very brave and can kill more than ten people in one battle. However, one person can only kill more than ten thieves. If you teach a hundred people, you can kill a thousand thieves, and you can teach thousands of thieves." Wouldn’t it be a pleasure to kill tens of thousands of people and kill tens of millions of thieves?”
Wen Tianxiang advised: "What your Majesty said is true, and Ziying cannot turn away his love and care."
"I kowtow to thank Tianen." Lu Wu accepted the order.
Zhao Shi looked at Yuan Ming and said: "The country is in a difficult situation and there is no place for leisure. I am a good citizen and have a rich family. Being an official is not a good place."
Yuan Ming bowed his head and said: "I haven't read many books, but I have heard many stories. I love Grandpa Yue the most. I don't have Grandpa Yue's ability, but I have Grandpa Yue's devotion to serving the country. Please do it, Your Majesty." Zhao Shi thought about it. After a moment, he said: "In that case, I will join the Imperial City Secretary's Office and be responsible for the investigation and communication of news from the north and south. How about it?"
Yuan Ming bowed down and said, "I'll do my best to repay His Majesty's grace."
"Your Majesty," Lu Wu said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, can Prime Minister Wen be reinstated to his original position?"
Zhao Shi pretended not to hear and shouted: "Come here, send the four of Du Hu down to rest."
Before his mission, Wen Tianxiang was the Prime Minister and Privy Envoy. Today, he is second only to Jiang Wanzai. However, there are now two Prime Ministers and Privy Envoys, and Pingzhang cannot have two for important military and state affairs, so how to arrange Wen Tianxiang still needs to be done. consider.
When the imperial guards left with Du Hu and the others, Zhao Shi looked at Wen Tianxiang and said, "You came from Fuhai, Yangzhou. Can you tell me about the situation there?"
Wen Tianxiang replied: "Some villain said that I had surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. Li Tingzhi believed it to be true. He did not allow me to enter the city and wanted to send troops to kill him. I had no choice but to return to Zhenzhou.
When Pao Chen heard the news, Ashu could not attack Yangzhou, so he built a long wall to trap it. Last winter, the city ran out of food and the dead were everywhere. In February of this year, the famine became more severe. Hundreds of people died every day when they went to Haoshui. Everyone fights to carve up the dead body and eat it, and the flesh is gone in an instant, leaving only the bones. "
Su Liuyi sighed: "I never imagined that Yangzhou would be so difficult. Li Tingzhi is such a man!"
Everyone nodded.
Hungry enough to commit suicide, hungry enough to eat human flesh, but Li Tingzhi can still hold on, who is not a man?
Wen Tianxiang continued: "I heard again that I thanked the Empress Dowager for her order to surrender. Tingzhi came to the city and said, 'I have been ordered to guard the city. I haven't heard of any orders to surrender.' The messenger came again and shot him with arrows."
I also heard that Xu Wende from Huai'an, Zhang Sicong from Xuyi, and Liu Xingzu from Sizhou all surrendered after running out of food. "
Zhao Shi said: "There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside. It is not a crime to surrender as a last resort!"
"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Yizhong said: "Now that Yangzhou is in trouble, we don't know how long it can hold on. There is no news about Privy Zhang. We should send people there again and call him to lead the army back to the court."
Wen Tianxiang's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice: "Can the land be abandoned? Can the people be abandoned? If you don't defend the land today, there will be no land to defend tomorrow. If you don't love the people today, if the people abandon it tomorrow, the country will perish!"
Obviously, once Li Tingzhi leaves, Yang Tongzhen will lose the three states. Recalling Li Tingzhi is the same as giving up the three places.
Chen Yizhong said: "Do you think Yangzhou and other places can be defended? It's just a waste of loyal ministers and good generals!"
Wen Tianxiang replied: "Li Tingzhi and others are all loyal and loyal people, and there are 20 soldiers and civilians in the three states. Although the food and grass are not available, they are united and can defend it.
If the imperial court could support it with a fleet of ships and provide food and grass, the Yuanlu would be even more helpless. "
Chen Yizhong said: "Privy Zhang led ten ships and more than a thousand troops to the north to contact Yangzhou. There was no news for more than a month. The enemy's situation was unknown and no plan could be drawn up. Why march?
Above the river, the Yuanlu navy is densely populated. Even if the army goes there, how can we guarantee that we will defeat the enemy?
Moreover, Yangzhou is far away from the great river. Even if the Yuanlu navy is defeated, how can the Yuanlu's horse infantry be defeated? "
Questioned by Sanlian, Wen Tianxiang was speechless.
Supporting Yangzhou is easy to say but difficult to do. Without a practical plan, sending troops there is just sending them away.
Zhao tried to smooth things over and said, "Wen Xiang is tired from traveling and traveling. Let's go and rest. We will discuss the matter in Yangzhou tomorrow."
Wen Tianxiang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care, but I am not tired, so we can still discuss matters."
What a nonsense discussion, Chen Yizhong is obviously unhappy with you, if the discussion continues it will be a quarrel!Zhao Shi cursed, comforted Wen Tianxiang, and asked people to send him back to rest.
This problem in Yangzhou has indeed been dragged on for too long, and a proper solution must be found.
