Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1074
Chapter 1084

The scarred old man smiled and said, "Guests, you can't just look at things on the surface, you have to learn to look at the general situation of the world. Xiri Overlord broke Xianyang and entrusted the eighteenth princes to command the world. How high-spirited is he to command the world? However, he entrusted himself with the princes From the beginning, he planted the root of his own defeat. Even if there was no Han Gaozu at the beginning, other people would come forward to oppose him. The reason is actually very simple. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the wars in the world and the hardships of the people have long been unbearable, so people’s hearts Si’an, everyone wants to rule the world and enjoy eternal peace! Today, how similar is it to that year? Since Yongjia’s rebellion, the world has endured wars for nearly 70 years, and the people’s deprivation has long been unbearable. This is the human heart!"

Xi Chao said with great regret: "What a good opportunity, what a clever arrangement, it was destroyed by those unruly people. Fortunately, we met early, otherwise we might not be able to escape. Ran Ming is better than his old man Ran Ming." Min is harder to deal with?"

Huan Wen said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter. Someone instigated Bai Yalisi to launch a rebellion, but this idiot actually had illusions in his heart. He didn't have the courage to fight back. If he broke through Anmin City and killed all the people in the city Then they plundered their belongings, went down the railway, and engulfed slaves along the way. In a short period of time, they could develop and grow like a snowball. They could threaten Hanoi when they entered, and defend Shangdang when they retreated. However, such a good situation, He was actually ruined by this idiot. What a bunch of mud that can't support the wall. If he had more courage, didn't give Wei Guo a chance to react, and didn't have the idea of ​​being recruited by Wei Guo, maybe Wei Guo Bingzhou had already been corrupted at that time gone."

"Duke Ming!" Xi Chao said, "I have to say that the people of Wei State are very brave now, and the State of Wei is too powerful. They are so powerful that it is suffocating. They fight everywhere, but they win every battle. The bigger it is, the longer it goes on, the Ran and his sons may really be able to achieve the feats of Qin Shi Han Wu!"

Huan Wen said: "Guest, what you see is only the superficial phenomenon of Wei State. In fact, Wei State is definitely not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. I dare to conclude that there will be a big turmoil in Wei State in the future. At that time, it will be our country. Chance!"

"According to the intelligence, Ran Bin is among the refugees in Nan'an County. If we send people to kill all the refugees in Nan'an, it will definitely anger Ran Ming. As long as Ran Ming loses his mind, he will lose his heart."

"Look, the so-called authorities are obsessed!" Huan Wen said: "In this world, fortresses are the easiest to break through from the inside. A dead Ran Ming, even if Ran Ming really loses his mind and slaughters all the people in Nan'an, then So what? At that time, Ran Ming can push it away completely and cut off the head of the person who did it, so as to calm the public anger. Ran Ming is still the sage in the hearts of those foolish people and women. But we have removed Wei Guo from among them The most unstable root. Maybe Ran Ming will wake up laughing from his dreams."

At this time, Xi Chao suddenly remembered that Ran Ming's eldest son and second son were equally outstanding and capable.It is good to have one such son, if there are too many, it will give me a headache.If it is a commoner's family, this is an opportunity for the general lintel, but born in the emperor's family, this is a sign of fratricide, there is only one emperor, after all, everyone wants to be.

Huan Wen said: "Guests, hurry up and inform our people, stop what you're doing right now, and get rid of those who are not firm and who are easy to betray us. Although we are trying to hide and sneak, we will leave some traces after all. , Recently, the plateau has been turbulent. Although the plateau is barren, it is still the foundation of the emperor. This time we marched into the plateau, we did it smartly, and we can win the foundation of Fu Jian's child."

After Xi Chao bid farewell to Huanwen, he began to move to the plateau.

Although Chengdu is the place where Huan Wen rose to prominence, there is a very good foundation of people's hearts here, but time has passed, and Huan Wen is no longer the former King of Shu.

Huan Wen was sitting alone, he had trouble moving now, and his head became more and more flexible.Huan Wen sometimes wondered what he had done in his life?At the beginning, he once said that if he can't live forever, he will have a bad reputation for thousands of years.Now it is no longer possible for him to be famous forever, because Wei Guo has nailed him to the pillar of shame, unless he can destroy Wei Guo, rule the world, hold the pen of the historian, and wantonly tamper with history.

Gradually his eyes became blurred, and he thought of Li Jingshu who I still pitied.He suddenly discovered that the most proud time in his life was when he rode his horse and raised his sword into Chengdu, captured Li Shi, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, and captured dozens of his relatives to Jiankang.Especially when I first saw Li Jingmei, I was shocked.I have a fluttering blue shirt, elegant martial arts, and the beauty sitting opposite me is like jade, singing and dancing, what a beautiful night it was...

After reading the news about the Imperial Palace in Yecheng, Ran Ming felt a deep breath of shock in his heart.Huan Wen is not dead, he is still plotting to overthrow the country.

For Ran Ming, dozens of countries have perished, whether it was Sima Yu who later became Emperor Jian Wen, or Sima Yao who became Emperor Xiaowu, or Murong Chui who became Emperor Wu of Later Yan, or the founding Emperor Lie of Xiyan. Murong Hong, Murong Chong, Emperor Wei of Xiyan.Or Yao Chang who established the Later Qin and became Emperor Wuzhao of the Later Qin.Or Zhang Tianci, who became the renaissance of Qianliang, Ran Ming actually didn't take it to heart.

Because their success has a very large accidental factor, and if they lose the opportunity of the original time and space, they are mediocre.But Huan Wen was different. It can be said that Huan Wen's father died early. It can be said that it was because of Huan Wen that the Huan family of Longkang was able to fight against the Xie family of Chenjun for decades.This is a family of military feudal towns that completely relied on their own swords and swords.

Although in the original time and space, Fu Jian of the Di tribe also unified the north and became the overlord of the world.He swept Xianbei in the east, and then destroyed Tuoba, intimidating the Hus, and he dared not refuse.Several emperors who founded the separatist regime were generals under his command.It's just that at this time, Fu Jian has lost the foundation to compete with himself in the world.Although the plateau is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not impossible to attack.What's more, relying on the huge strength of Wei State, Ran Ming will be able to consume Fu Jian to death.

If Huan Wen really raised the flag to rebel, Ran Ming would not be worried, but what he was most worried about was that Huan Wen was fanning the flames and creating turmoil in Wei State.At this time, Ran Ming said: "Prime Minister Wang!"

"Chen is here!"

"The cabinet doesn't have to deal with this matter!"

"It's the minister who obeys the order!"

Ran Ming said again: "Xuan Liye!"

Not long after, the royal guards appeared in the Taiwu Hall.Looking at the three giants of the royal guard Li Ye, Du Cong and Liu Zhao, Ran Ming said: "The royal guard immediately dispatched manpower to conduct a thorough investigation, from Yecheng to Chengdu, from Chengdu to Jiankang, Jiangzhou, and Jingkou. , Jingzhou, let me find out one by one, who is still disconnected from Huan Wen, who has the courage to cover up Huan Wen, but all the families that collude with Huan Wen, no matter how big or small, all ransack their homes and assign them to Suiye Xincheng, Do not return home."

Seeing that Ran Ming was furious, Du Cong, Li Ye and Liu Zhao didn't dare to be negligent, they hurried down to arrange capable officers to strictly investigate Huan Wen's remnant party.Wang Jian was very resentful when he learned that Huan Wen's remnant party was still making troubles in Wei Guo, especially the Huan riots in Anmin County, which were actually bewitched by Huan Wen from behind.Knowing that Ran Ming actually bypassed the cabinet and ordered the royal guards to deal with the matter, he felt his face burning hot, as if he had been slapped loudly.

As the prime minister, Wang Jian was actually very worried about Ran Ming's whims. If the royal guards were allowed to file a case and deal with it, those members of the royal guards would definitely make small things into big things, and big things would become disasters. If not, countless people would be affected.However, seeing that Ran Ming was getting angry, he didn't dare touch Ran Ming's brow, but returned to the cabinet office worriedly.

It is none other than Wei Guocai Xie An who is on duty in the cabinet today.When Wang Jian told Xie An about this, when Xie An heard this, he shuddered suddenly, and then his mind buzzed.Someone beside his ear said eagerly: "Thank you, thank you." Xie An actually found that his throat was sweet, and the voice calling him was getting farther and farther away.

"Quick, call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor." The cabinet was already in a panic, and everyone came after hearing the news. Finally, Xie An woke up faintly. The first time he opened his eyes The words are: "You must not let the royal guards handle the Huan Wen Remnant Party case!"

What kind of organization the Royal Guard is like, no one in the Wei Kingdom knows that the predecessor of the Royal Guard is the "Deaf and Dumb" established by Ran Min and the "Sticky Office" established by Ran Ming.There is no member of such an organization who is not a fanatical follower of Ran Ming.Once Ran Ming delegated power to the royal guards, others would not know what the result would be, but Xie An knew it very well.

Secret service organizations have existed since ancient times in Chinese history.According to historical records, the famous and surnamed spies in Chinese history were Ru Ai and Ji Shu of the Xia Dynasty.These two were sent by Xia Wang Shaokang to Fang Guo and Ge to spy on the military situation, and made great contributions to the destruction of these two countries.In the Han Dynasty, the secret service organization began to form a permanent composition such as the edict prison, and the person in charge of the edict prison was called the big one.In fact, the recruitment of prisons in the Han Dynasty was only the initial stage of the spy organization.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the vassals were fighting for hegemony, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the vassals. In order to monitor the officials and control the inside and outside, Cao Cao set up school officials to monitor the ministers, which opened a precedent for spy politics in China.

I believe everyone is familiar with the phrase "one will succeed and ten will die". The establishment of a new regime often goes through a long period of turmoil.Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, was a hero of his generation, and he was a controversial figure both in front of him and behind him.He was eager to seek talents, and he issued three orders to seek talents, in order to avoid the hope of heroes in the world, he could tolerate the rebellion of Liu Bei and others.But he also used spies to kill many people (Of course, these people are famous people, and the unknown characters will be killed if they are killed, no one will pay attention.) The article like the death of Yang Xiu should appear in junior high school Chinese (I don’t know Is it still there now), when we were studying this text, we all thought that Yang Xiu was clever and angered Cao Cao, and was killed by Cao Cao.However, the real reason is that Yang Xiu participated in the battle for Wei Guoli's reserve and was Cao Zhi's wing.Although Cao Zhi is very talented, he is only suitable to be a wit, not an emperor.So Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu because Yang Xiu participated in the dispute for the prince.Among the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms who were killed by Cao Cao were Kong Rong, Cui Yan, Xu You and so on.

Of course, the horror of such spy politics is that no one knows who the knife will fall on.Xie An was also very aware that Huan Wen made a lot of friends throughout his life. Almost all the nobles in the world were without exception. There were more or less friends with Huan Wen, and more or less letters.Besides, Xie An also knew that the Royal Secret Guards were especially good at extorting confessions by torture. No matter how many men with strong bones and iron bones, under the torture of the Royal Secret Guards, they would all compromise.And how could these gentry children stand up to torture?Once they enter the prison of the Royal Guards, whether they are guilty or not, they will be tortured into tricks, and if the time comes, they will be bitten indiscriminately, and the whole country may be shaken.

In fact, Xie An also hated those scumbags, leaving a way out for himself, not putting all eggs in one basket is the survival rule of the gentry, but they helped Huan Wen in private, which caused great losses to Wei Guo.Xie An is in charge of finance, and he is very aware of the Anmin Rebellion, which caused a loss of more than 20 gold.Although Wei Guo is rich and powerful now, the more than [-] gold could have been avoided. With this [-] gold, tens of hundreds of schools can be opened and thousands of talents can be trained.If these more than [-] catties are used for disaster relief, tens of thousands of people will be able to regain their lives and restore their homes.Yet it has all been done.

If Ran Ming wanted to investigate Huan Wen's remnant party nationwide and crack down severely, Xie An would agree with it.But let the Royal Secret Service take charge alone, that's absolutely impossible.

Xie An thought of the Anmin Rebellion, those innocent victims, those soldiers who didn't have to die, and the Anmin City that was almost destroyed into ruins. Thinking of many things, Xie An was very sad: "I regret it, I regret it, I knew it earlier!"

Wang Jian, Wang Ning and other cabinet ministers also looked at Xie An seriously. They all knew very well that the royal guards were in charge of the jail, and once the opening was opened, the situation would become serious.The cabinet ministers who heard the news were also in a state of disarray, and it was too late to say anything now.

Now that Ran Ming's edict has been issued and the golden mouth has been opened, what should we do?

But there is a problem that needs to be considered by everyone. There is a difference between monarchs and ministers.Ran Ming delegated power to the cabinet, and let the cabinet deal with all major and minor matters in the country. The power of the cabinet is very large, and Ran Ming will hardly interfere with the cabinet's decision-making.Even for such a major event as the Western Expedition to the Western Regions, Ran Ming tried his best to convince the cabinet members before making a plan.Ran Ming has already given his face to the princes of the cabinet, but the emperor has given you face, you have to continue, and you must not put your face on your nose.

At this time, Wang Jian said: "Grand Xie, why don't we enter the palace to see you now, please take back your order!"

"No!" Xie An shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this matter cannot be taken back."

Let the emperor take back his order, it seems that the matter is not big, but in fact the essence is different.In the political arena, this is the cabinet challenging the emperor's authority.Today's son is not Han Xiandi Liu Xie, nor is it a puppet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This is Ran Ming who holds the world's soldiers and horses and has great prestige.If this matter is spread, the cabinet will no longer have to mess around, and the cabinet princes can be drowned by just saliva.People don't know right from wrong, they know that the emperor is a good person, and those who oppose the emperor must be bad people and treacherous officials.

After being reminded by Xie An, Wang Jian heaved a long sigh.The other cabinet ministers also looked sad and helpless.At this time, Secretary Lang Xi Bijiang said: "Actually, this matter is easy to solve, as long as all the ministers ask His Majesty for an order, and ask the three divisions for a joint trial!"

"Joint Trial by Three Divisions" is a trial system in ancient China. The "Three Divisions" are the three main central judicial organs in ancient China. They originated from the three judges Taiwei, Sikong and Situ in the Warring States Period. Later generations are also called the Sanfa Division.The three law divisions in the Han Dynasty were Tingwei, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Sili Xiaowei; while Wei Guo inherited the Han system, but major changes have been found in its name.The three envoys of the State of Wei refer to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the Doctor of the Imperial History, and the Minister of Dali Temple (equivalent to the current president of the Supreme Court of China).If it is really a joint trial of the three divisions, then the cabinet can have at least three deputy ministers to participate, and then the royal guards can be prevented from dominating and running amok.When the cabinet princes heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.In fact, it's not that they can't think of this level. If you care about it, you will be chaotic, and the authorities will be confused.

The meaning of Dali: In ancient times, it was called a scholar in charge of punishment, and it was also called Li.Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty enlarged the characters, taking the meaning of Dali, which is the prison of heavenly officials and nobles.The case decided by Dali Temple must be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval.The power to judge the prison belongs to the Ministry of Punishment, but if the Dali Temple disagrees, it can go to the Holy Judgment.The Yushi doctor is directly responsible to the emperor, and supervises whether there is any phenomenon of favoritism and fraud in the process of handling security.In fact, the so-called democratic formulation of later generations is actually left over by our ancestors.

At that time, Ran Ming was furious and ordered the royal special guard to be responsible for strictly investigating the remaining Huan Wen party, but afterward Ran Ming also came to his senses.If the royal special guards were really given the right to judiciary, criminal investigation, litigation, and trial, then the royal special guards of Wei would become the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space.
