Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 495 Don't Counseling, Be Like A Man (Third Watch)
Chapter 499 Don't Coward, Be Like A Man
Of course, although the salaries of officials in the Wei and Jin dynasties were not as high as those in the Song Dynasty, the salary system of the Ran Wei Dynasty was very simple, that is, according to the system, such as two thousand shi officials (county prefects.) Then the real income is two thousand shi. Just give the fields.For example, the governor is fifteen, [-] mu of land, the prefect is ten, and the county magistrate is six.However, the Yan State and the Northern Wei Dynasty (Tuoba Wei) could not afford official salaries, and they were allowed to search for them, each according to his ability.That's why their rule was unpopular and died in a short time.

Pei Bi is a sixth-rank official, at the same level as Shangxian Shangling, and has six tax-exempt positions. If he is exempted from this position, his land will be taken back.Ran Min just let Pei Bi not get paid for a year, this punishment is quite light.

Liu Qun knew about Ran Min's temper, and the calmer Ran Min seemed at this moment, it must be something bad.I'm afraid someone is going to be unlucky.

In the imperial study room, after Ran Min returned, he didn't send anyone to investigate the truth of Ran Ming's assassination. What the truth is, he didn't need to investigate.Guess can also be guessed.Ran Min sat alone for nearly an hour, and then suddenly sent someone to find Ran Zhi and Ran Ming.The person sent to find Ran Ming also specifically ordered, "Even if you climb, you have to climb to the Imperial Study Room!"

When Ran Ming heard the news, he knew that Ran Min had seen through his intentions.So he remained calm, and directly cleaned the wound with high-grade alcohol, and even sutured it without suturing. In fact, Ran Ming's wound was only a little bit of flesh, and there was no need for stitches at all.

When Ran Ming arrived at the imperial study, Ran Zhi was already kneeling on the ground.

When Ran Min sent out to call Ran Zhi, Ran Zhi had already heard that Pei Bi had stopped Ran Min's driver, and in Ran Zhi's mind, Pei Bi must have sold him.

When he came to the imperial study room, Ran Zhi didn't wait for Ran Min to ask, nor did he argue, but like a bamboo tube pouring beans, he designed the A Ling incident from the beginning, and then helped Murong Chui assassinate Ran Min, and this time the assassination of Ran Ming .

Ran Zhi yelled at Ran Min: "My minister did it, and all this was ordered by my minister. How will my father deal with my minister? I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Ran Min smiled coldly: "In the past, what you did was to disappoint my father, but just now, you are just like a man!"

Ran Zhi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Ran Min meant.

Ran Min suddenly shouted at Ran Ming who was outside the door: "Get out! You bastard, you are not a good thing!"

In fact, Ran Min also had a very headache. It is not a good thing that his son is too capable.Just like the prince Ran Zhi, who kept his face and won over more than [-]% of the civil and military officials in Yecheng, if this continues, sooner or later he will empty himself out.And Ran Ming was also in the field of the army, and he was astonished.Moisturizing things silently, he has achieved a prestige no less than his own.

Regardless of Ran Zhi or Ran Ming, both of them now have the capital to threaten their status.Although Ran Min lost his arm, but he is not yet forty, he is in his prime, how can he be willing to be the Supreme Emperor and retreat to the second line?So he wanted to suppress Ran Ming, took Ran Ming out of the army, came to Yecheng to be an official, and fought with Prince Ran Zhi.

To put it bluntly, it was just an emperor's check and balance strategy.

Although Ran Ming, as a later generation, does not like to kneel down, but kneeling to Ran Min, Ran Ming has no burden in his heart.Based on Ran Ming's decades of life experience, Ran Ming actually understands Ran Min's situation.Very similar to Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty in history, Ran Min, who was in his prime, was not ready to decentralize power and retreat behind the scenes, and his sons were very capable.

Leaving aside Ran Ming, a butterfly from another world, Ran Zhi alone is not bad at all.In an isolated city with no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, he actually resisted the siege of the army of Yan State for a hundred days. If it hadn't been for Changshui Captain Ma Yuan (also recorded as Ma Gu) to abandon the city, if Yecheng had food, history might have been different. It's changed.Although the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed, Ran Zhi still tried to restore the country two years later with the help of Huangmen servant Song Bin and others, but was killed when he failed.

Although Ran Zhi's ability does not count, in fact all of this is due to Ran Min, without Ran Min, Ran Zhi is nothing.In fact, from the fact that Ran Min died, Yecheng was destroyed, and Wei Chen committed suicide one after another, we can see how popular Ran Min's rule was.However, history is a fairy tale, and he is just a glorious lie used by the winners to slander the losers.

At this time, Ran Min looked at Ran Ming with a calm face, and Ran Zhi was full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and said with hatred: "You, you two, let my father be disappointed!"

Ran Zhi didn't have any special thoughts at this time, he said forcefully: "Father, my son is not convinced!"

"You're not convinced?" Ran Min asked angrily, "Why are you so unconvinced?"

"Father just treats my son as a bird in a cage, and my father never gave my son a chance!" Ran Zhi looked at Ran Ming fiercely and said, "If my father lets my son join the army, my son may not be as good as the second Little brother, I can also break ground and open up borders for the Great Wei Dynasty, and make great achievements."

"Haha!" Ran Min laughed angrily, "Do you really think that fighting is a child's play? It's fighting with your head on your belt. It doesn't matter what kind of prince or prince you are on the battlefield. You are ruthless with swords and guns." , Arrows have no eyes, you may be killed anytime, anywhere."

Ran Zhi still persisted and said: "Why can't I do what my second brother can do? I haven't tried it, and I just don't want to be reconciled!"

"You..." Ran Min was too angry to speak.

But Ran Ming said: "Father, my son also has something to say!"

Ran Min said, "Say it!"

"If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow! Towering trees can't grow in a greenhouse!" Ran Ming said calmly: "In our northern land, thousands of miles away, there is a kind of white wolf. The king of wolves. After the wolf cubs of the wolf king are born, they will be abandoned in the wild. Whoever finds the wolf den first will get meat to eat. The wolf cubs that arrive first will not only eat meat, but also You can eat countless pieces of meat, and the weak will be left to fend for themselves in the ice and snow. Although this is very cruel, it is the world of the truly strong."

After hearing this, Ran Min's expression changed drastically, he pointed at Ran Ming, and remained silent for a long time.

Ran Ming said calmly: "In fact, our Ran family has always adopted the wolf king's world view of using things to make natural selection, the strong are respected, and the fittest survive. Our ancestors of the Ran family have been generals for generations. , Hongwu Gong (Ran Min’s father, Ran Zhan, named Hongwu) was only twelve years old when he first came to Xinjiang. He led the tribe, took the lead and never retreated. Relying on military merits, the Ran family accumulated the capital for rising. Grandfather passed away, Father was also 12 years old and led our Ran's begging army to fight on the battlefield."

Ran Ming smiled wryly and said: "What do ordinary 12-year-old children know? Some of them are still playing in the mud, but our Ran's men are fighting for the Ran's clan. In our world, there are all In this way, there is no sympathy for the weak, no pity for the weak, and there is only unyielding struggle. Because our Ran family is a wolf, the real wolf king, the king of beasts! Even if we are not qualified to be wolf kings, we Ran's descendants , as the most common wolf, is also the blood of the noble wolf king."

Ran Min nodded, he agreed with Ran Ming's statement.In fact, within the five generations of the Ran family, no man has lived for 40 years as an adult, and he has to fight on the battlefield at the age of twelve or thirteen.Ran's lives for fighting, but also dies for fighting!Ran Min said: "Very good, you continue!"

Ran Zhi also calmed down after listening to Ran Ming's wolf king theory.

"The county king guards the gate of the country, and the emperor dies in the country! No marriage, no compensation, no cedement, no tribute, no peace negotiation." Ran Ming said: "This is what we good men of the Ran family should do!"

Ran Min is also reflecting on himself, if his sons are too weak, how can they hold the world.What a hero Shu Han Liu Bei is, but Adou has no integrity.What a hero Cao Cao is, and his descendants also failed to keep Cao Wei's ten thousand miles of land.Sima Yan is also a character, but his sons are all muddy and cannot support the wall.There is no fighting between the sons, and the family and everything are prosperous. This is certainly gratifying, but if the country is handed over to the weak, can he hold it?
Ran Ming suddenly asked Ran Zhi, "Brother Prince, do you want to be emperor?"

Asking Ran Zhi in front of Ran Min if he wants to be emperor, this must be a treasonous thing.At that moment, an idea popped up in Ran Zhi's mind, that Ran Ming must be setting him up.If this sentence is said, then...Try it, suddenly, Ran Zhi thought about it, he is already like this, it's no big deal, just try it!
Ran Zhi said: "I want to be the emperor, so what?"

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince!" Ran Ming asked again: "Do you know how to be a good emperor?"

Ran Zhi replied without even thinking: "A virtuous minister, far from a villain, diligent in government and loving the people, fulfilling his duties, abstinence and self-control!"

The king of Chu is so thin-waisted that many people starved to death in the palace.What is good at the top must be followed by the bottom.From this sentence, this is the golden rule of Chinese officialdom.It is very difficult to be an emperor, especially a good emperor.The ancient emperors had strict customization from dressing to eating.For example, there are more than 100 dishes in each meal, and each dish can only eat three bites at most, just to prevent the ministers from knowing what the emperor likes to eat.

"Okay, very good!" Ran Minglang said: "Then let me ask you again, what is a virtuous minister and what is a treacherous minister? A virtuous minister does not have the word virtuous written on his face, and a treacherous minister is even more secretive. How do you distinguish between a virtuous and a traitor?" Then ask again, how to be diligent in government? Is it diligent government to do everything by yourself? How to love the people? How to abstinence and self-control?"

Ran Zhi was stunned by Ran Ming's question, he didn't know how to answer Ran Ming's question.

Facing Ran Ming's repeated questions, Ran Min was also silently asking himself back.Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it seems that he has not done any policies to benefit the people except leading the army and people of Wei to resist the invasion of Hu.The most common thing is to distribute the land seized by Hu nobles to meritorious soldiers and ordinary people.
