Text Chapter 1102 Two Memorials

"this……"

Even Li Kun was extremely surprised when he saw the information handed over by the people around him, but then he remembered that Qiu Yan had prepared arrangements for all the ministries before the decisive battle in Northern Xinjiang, and the tumbling thoughts in his heart calmed down. *

It's just that it is inevitable that he will have more and more scruples - Xu Yingyi did not start to guide the emperor's thoughts today, but his anti-military words turned into a primer and completely detonated Li Kun's worries.

But on the other hand, facing this situation, Qiu Yan had no intention of restraining himself. On the contrary, he increasingly showed his exhaustive side. This contrary approach also yielded unexpected results.

When the emperor was deeply concerned about a person, he did not dare to act rashly. The reason was very simple. Besides, Li Kun was not a fatuous person and he knew what Qiu Yan's ambition was. Even if it was based on power instinct, there would be other reasons. Thoughts, but now he was startled by the folding book handed over by Qiu Yan, and he finally came to his senses. Then he opened the folding folding book, glanced at it, and then froze, with a solemn look on his face.

"This... everything written on this is true?"

Li Kun originally just wanted to take a quick look, and then let Qiu Yan take charge of the matter. In his opinion, since this incident was caused by Xu Ying and others, he wanted to divert trouble to the east and make Qiu Yan take over. This was a hot potato, but Qiu Yan had already prepared the secret in advance. That means that when the matter came up, he must have been prepared in advance. In this way, it is really difficult to say what the final result will be.

However, Li Kun didn't think that Qiu Yan had any other methods besides using his eloquence to persuade him to surrender. However, looking at the memorial in his hand, he realized that Qiu Yan was not without purpose. He had probably been thinking about these methods for a long time. At the same time, The contents of this book also horrified him, and his scruples about Qiu Yan suddenly rose to the extreme. Want to know where the source of the information is.

And this made Li Kun curious about another memorial in Qiu Yan's hand.

On the other hand, the civil and military officials in the palace had similar thoughts to the emperor, but now that they saw the emperor's reaction, they were also confused, and they were particularly curious about what was recorded in the excerpt.

In the confusion of everyone, the emperor spoke again: "Qiu Qing, where did you get the information in this memorial?"

"This is not a secret," Qiu Yan responded calmly. "I am in charge of the Ministry of War, and these past documents are one of the sources of information. Not to mention that when mobilizing resources, I will come into contact with merchants and aristocratic families along the way. Information is also revealed from their mouths and letters, but these are Information is fragmented and trivial content that needs to be verified and reorganized to reveal deeper secrets.”

"That's it," Li Kun frowned slightly when he heard this. "If Qiu Qing can teach the military skills to the officials of the Ministry of War, or even the generals of the army, he can be as good as thousands of scouts, or even worse. No, it is not good. If he reveals too much, he will let those idle people I heard it. It’s not impossible for it to spread, which will add to the dynasty..."

The emperor thought about it. He was caught in a tangle at first, but the more he became like this, the more curious the content of the memorial in his hand became, making all the civil and military officials in the dynasty eager to wait.

Qiu Yan said: "Your Majesty, these methods I have mentioned are not something profound. People in this world can sum them up as long as they are willing. Moreover, these methods are also included in the General System of Martial Arts written by me. They are all just small tricks. They can change the small situation, but they cannot reverse the general trend. Since ancient times, those who win people will prosper for the country, and those who lose people will collapse. It cannot be affected by one or two small skills. "

These words were meant to educate the emperor, but the ministers present did not show much surprise. You must know that the power and status of the scholar-officials in Darui were very high, and many people scolded the emperor in person. It was common for the emperor to feel disgusted when he had nothing to do. Qiu Yan's words were nothing at all.

Didn't you see that the former prime minister Ma Yang is now living in the cellar, compiling the Tongjian openly and openly? The purpose of this is to let the future royal family learn from history, and its underlying meaning is to compile a history book specifically for the royal family to educate the royal children on how to do it. What should you pay attention to when you are an emperor?

Such a tone can be said to be groundbreaking, but if this book is actually completed in the future, it must be a humane classic, and the royal family must also respectfully include it as a foundation for inheritance.

From this we can also see that the status and personality of this scholar-official are not much different from that of the emperor.

At this time, someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is written in this book of Qiu Shangshu?" The person who spoke was not one of the several ministers, but someone who looked young. A veteran minister who is not young at all, he talks about being bold, but his tone is full of urging.

Li Kun didn't take it seriously and said: "What is included in this compromise is a list of names. Most of them are the family members of the rebels. It lists in detail the names of their parents, wives and children. "

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall at first, and then there was a series of gasps.

Of course they understand the power of such a list, its value is probably no less than 30,000 elite soldiers!

At the same time, the civil and military officials also understood why the emperor's expression changed significantly after reading the memorial. After all, the information behind it was too shocking. Even the ministers felt a chill rising in their hearts. Roaring.

Li Kun added: "In addition, Mr. Qiu also suggested that when recruiting, let those rebels move their families to Guanzhong, and then settle down as officials in various places. After a long time, they can prove that they are loyal to the country and settle down, and then they can be transferred again."

To put it bluntly, it is actually to hold hostages, so that the Tiangang Disha thieves and others will be restrained after accepting the amnesty.

But immediately some ministers expressed dissatisfaction-

A censor came out and said: "My great Rui established the country with justice, which is the right order of the world. We should govern the world with benevolence. Even those rebels, as long as they accept the amnesty and see that Your Majesty is virtuous, they will naturally return to their hearts. How can they follow the actions of the Legalists? You must know that harsh politics is more ferocious than a tiger!"

After these words were spoken, many officials in the court were slightly moved, and several of them showed anger.

In the era of the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other. Later, Emperor Yanwu respected Confucianism alone, and Confucianism became the orthodox school of thought, and the hundreds of schools of thought were dismissed. However, how could such thoughts be easily cut off? Most of the dynasties were Confucianism on the outside and Legalism on the inside. The inheritance of Legalism has never been cut off, and you have many descendants in the court of Da Rui.

Not to mention the distant past, the former prime minister Han Yi was a Legalist, and he had also given instructions to Qiu Yan. His son Han Bian hid in the Hanlin Academy and had a plan. After being destroyed by Qiu Yan, he lived in peace for some years, and he also learned the art of Legalism.

This censor offended many people with his words, but of course no one came out to refute it at this time, but it depended on how Qiu Yan responded, because they also saw that the censor's righteous words were actually still from the old party and were Xu Yingyi's subordinates.

The current situation is gradually becoming clear. The plans of Xu Yingyi and others seem foolproof, but the emperor's words just now and Qiu Yan's memorial have the possibility of a reversal of the situation.

Qiu Yan was not in a hurry, but just said: "The key to governing is to use people first, and knowing people is difficult for sages. That thief rebelled first, and he was already corrupt. He was not from an orthodox family. People in the court could not know him well, so what's wrong with being on guard? Xu Xueshi just said that if disputes can be resolved peacefully, there should be no bloodshed. In this case, as long as we pay a little attention, we can let those who accept the amnesty live in peace and avoid bloodshed again. Why did Lord Yang stop it?"

This Lord Yang was referring to the censor who jumped out, and Xu Xueshi was referring to Xu Yingyi.

Moreover, Qiu Yan said that even sages find it difficult to know people, let alone others?

At this point, the situation was clear, and the civil and military officials in the palace also roughly understood the result - Ying Xu still wanted Qiu Yan to go, but the final condition for the amnesty was to ask many leaders of the rebels to hand over their families as hostages to show sincerity. If they were unwilling, Qiu Yan could say that accepting the amnesty was the rebels' excuse to delay time.

At the same time, the merchants who had funded the rebels along the way would probably be punished when Qiu Yan went east.

"This series of combined attack and defense is really brilliant," thinking about this, even Xu Yingyi couldn't help but admire Qiu Yan's response, but he also knew that this was not enough to change his layout, "Unfortunately, proposing such harsh conditions can also make those rebels refuse naturally, and then the reputation of forcing people to surrender will fall on Qiu Yan's head!"

He was thinking that Emperor Li Kun had probably accepted Qiu Yan's proposal. He was not unaware of the risks, but what Qiu Yan said was true.

In the final analysis, whether to accept the amnesty or not affects Qiu Yan's reputation, and no matter which choice is made, it is beneficial to the dynasty.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan raised another memorial in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have another memorial, which is of great importance. Because I cannot make a decision on my own and it has not been thoroughly confirmed, I don't want to take it out now, but since I have to go to the east to surrender, I will present it first to avoid delays in the future."

"Oh?" Li Kun looked at the memorial, curious, and now more eager, "Bring it up."

After his subordinates handed the memorial over, Li Kun flipped through a few pages and his face changed drastically.

Many civil and military ministers in front of the emperor were also curious, and people like Xu Yingyi and Cai Que had felt something was wrong since just now, and were wary of this memorial. Now seeing the emperor's expression, the feeling of badness became stronger.

Suddenly, Li Kun raised his head and glared at Xu Yingyi fiercely. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
