November.
Jiankang.
"Huang Fa lost the opportunity! He consumed food and grass, but did not make any contribution to repay his kindness, so he should be dismissed!!"
As soon as the court discussion began, someone pinched his throat and began to attack Huang Fa.
Huang Fajita did not return to Jiankang, but instead stationed on the front line, using Jingbei as the first line of defense, and be careful to resist.
In fact, Huang Fapu did not cause too many casualties from nobles this time, and everyone should not deal with him like this. However, the problem lies in Huang Fapu's letter.
Huang Faku proposed a river water defense system.
This includes giving up the dispersed defense and concentrating forces to defend several important ferry crossings and checkpoints.
Then a strict security network was established to strengthen control over the border through water patrols and beacon towers.
Strengthen the river water defense line, block some areas, strictly prohibit the entry and exit of merchant ships, etc.
In fact, Huang Fajitao only proposed strategies, which would harm the interests of all parties. No one would object so much. The most angering thing is that Huang Fajitao believes that it is necessary to actively expand the army, and the specific methods include learning from the military experience in the north.
The tenants were released into military residence, some monks were allowed to return to secular life, reclaimed cultivated land, granted military households, and farmed on both sides of the river.
Huang Fapu’s idea is very clear, increasing the country’s population, increasing the country’s taxes, and filling the army.
The warehouse is full of grain.
Anything else is OK, but if you want to release slave tenants in the south and let monks return to secular life, that is a violation of the "Terms of Heaven".
When the part of Huang Fapu's proposal was leaked, it caused an uproar.
Huang Fapu has become a public enemy.
Those kind monks on weekdays think that Huang Fajita was bewitched by the Hu people and actually wanted to attack Buddhism!!
This court discussion was not even intended by the emperor, but by the ministers' impeachment memorials that forced him to open it.
As soon as the court discussion began, the ministers began to attack Huang Fa in various ways, and the more they said it, the heavier they became. Some people swear that he was a spy sent by Liu Taozi.
Huang Faku's son Huang Wan is among the ministers at this moment.
Listening to the insults of everyone, his face turned red, his breathing was heavy, and his forehead was covered with blue veins.
"Everyone!!!"
Yuan Xian spoke, his voice was hoarse and almost broke.
The noisy court suddenly became silent.
Yuan Xian is blatantly violating the law. If he did this on weekdays, the censor would definitely not let him go.
But today is an exception. The situation is urgent. The censor himself is making noises there, and the ceremonies are missing.
Yuan Xian looked at everyone in disbelief, "Everyone! Let's think about it!"
"Although General Huang failed to capture Jiangling this time, have he taken down all An, Mian and other states? Didn't he also deal with the thieves along the road? How can he say that he had failed?!"
"I know why you are so intense!"
"It's just because of General Huang's letter!"
"In theory, the general's letter to the emperor should not be known to the ministers. I don't know what was wrong, but even my servants heard about it!"
"The person who does this is without a father or a king, so he should be no one to kill him!"
Yuan Xian was furious. As the situation went step by step toward the abyss, the gentleman's temper grew day by day, and he could no longer return to the state of a gentleman in the past.
Yuan Xian stared at the people in front of him, his eyes moving from them little by little.
"Everyone, isn't General Huang's letter to protect the country?"
"Do you know what the current situation is like?"
Yuan Xian asked, "Do you know how many people are in the Han Dynasty now?"
"After the destruction of Zhou State, I calculated that their household registration must be more than 30 million, and it may be more than 30 million. To pacify the thieves, appease the deceased, or even 40 million!!"
"Do you know how many people Dachen has?"
"Two,170,000 people!"
Yuan Xian said, with a deep sense of despair in his eyes, "Our country is only more than two million people!"
"Everyone, how much is the difference between these two million and forty million?"
Faced with Yuan Xian's questioning, only a few ministers lowered their heads, but there were still many willing to bow their heads.
"Since ancient times, the victory and defeat have been due to benevolence and virtue. How can household registration determine? If the king has virtue, then the few soldiers can be invincible to the world. Xunzi said that the benevolent ones are invincible. When King Wen of ancient times attacked King Zhou...\n:"
"Don't mention ancient times!!!"
Yuan Xian interrupted the other party quite rudely, "Xunzi and Yun-ren are invincible, so it is naturally right, but Xunzi also said that the heavens will be long and will not survive for Yao or die for Jie!"
"What is virtue? Protecting the people and stabilizing the country is virtue!"
"Isn't General Huang's letter just to make Chen Youde?"
"The power of the two countries is so disparate at the moment. Our army is very small. Less than 40,000 troops can be used to fight. The combined forces of the troops stationed in various places can even reach 100,000!"
"Liu Taozi can pull out the army that can fight in the field, and now there are more than 100,000 people!"
"When he gets Zhou Tu this time, what will this number be when he comes to invade us? 200,000, 300,000, or 400,000?"
"Everyone, Liu Taozi is a thief. After he usurped Qi, he started a massacre. Many famous scholars in Hebei have never been spared. All the farmlands that had been in charge of his family for many years were plundered, and many people were confiscated and exterminated! A few who survived could only hand over the farmland, disperse the tenants, and endure humiliation and live without a single life!"
"When he destroyed the Zhou Kingdom, so many great clans surrendered to him. The great clans of Bashu even led the way and actively sent troops, making great contributions, but how did he do it?"
"Jiu State just died, and these large clan troops were attacked by the remnants of Zhou State. They were killed and injured. Few survived. How could there be any remnants of Zhou State? Wasn't it just Liu Taozi sent someone to kill him?"
"From Hebei, then to Henan, and then to Guanzhong, the Han clan was not spared. It can be seen that this person was a false king of Han, but secretly hated the Han people like Gao Huan and other Hu chiefs, so the great clans suffered one after another wherever they went!"
"When someone like this passes through the river, who else can escape his liquidation? Even if he surrenders and surrenders, he will definitely be killed!"
Yuan Xian said this and immediately said, "In addition, this person particularly hates monks. He has risen all the way,
He colluded with Yuwen Yong and committed many crimes, but no monk could escape."
"If you don't find a way to resist now, and wait until this person goes south, the world will definitely suffer great harm, and no one will be spared!"
Yuan Xian has always considered himself a gentleman, but today, for the sake of national affairs, he has to say some exaggerated words.
Perhaps the population of Han State is not as large as he said, and maybe the other party did not massacre all the way. However, if you don’t say that now, you can’t make these people alert.
Sure enough, after Yuan Xian finished speaking, the man who was anxious to attack Huang Fajita also pondered for a moment.
Although what Yuan Xian said was exaggerated, it was based on facts.
Especially Liu Taozi's indiscriminate killing of wolf poisons was true. Those big clans who could still be protected in the hands of the Hu people were killed in his hands. This kid was much more cruel than those Hu thieves in the past.
But despite this...::.Why do we have to contribute?
Besides, if we have natural dangers in the river, we may not be able to be compromised by the Han Dynasty, right?
The north and south have been fighting for so many years, maybe something else will happen to the other party?
For example, Liu Taozi suddenly died of illness and then began to have civil strife?
The court was silent for a moment, and then became noisy again.
"Duke Yuan, we impeach Huang Fa is because of state affairs, not what you said to write to me!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
"There are ministers discussing the matter of resisting a powerful enemy, but isn't what we are talking about now impeachment of Huang Faku?"
Everyone directly moved the topic away, and Yuan Xian's reminder only made them alert for a moment, after a while,
But the prototype was restored.
They don’t know how bad the situation of Chen State is.
They didn't know how Liu Taozi would treat them when she came.
They are just...::.greedy and shameless bastards.
Desire blinds the heart, and luckily becomes the pillar, and then ignores nothing.
They were used to eating, and being eaten was the business of the Guizhou leaders, and they were not familiar with it.
Yuan Xian looked around and saw that the people standing in the palace were full of charms covered in human skin, and the twisted desires struggled to pounce on them, with no cure.
Chen Xiang was under the pressure of everyone and did not have the guilt of curing the Yellow Law.
However, he also made concessions. Regarding the matter of resisting a powerful enemy, it is necessary to consider repeatedly and not to make a rash decision.
The court talks ended, and the monsters left.
Yuan Xian seemed to have been drained by these monsters, his face turned pale and he was at a loss.
Chen asked the servant to take him to the court and walk back with him.
Looking at Yuan Xian who was in a state of dismay, Chen Xiang couldn't help but say, "It's not unreasonable if Huang Fa poked it."
"But the more dangerous it is, the more stable the country needs. If we follow his method, before we can improve our national strength and increase our army, there will be chaos in the country, which will be even more unfavorable to us."
"So, we should focus on stability and cause less trouble."
Yuan Xian nodded lonelyly.
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry so much, I don't believe that things will have no turning point at all."
He lowered his voice, "There is one thing that Yuan Qing doesn't know yet."
"oh?"
Yuan Xian finally got rid of his decadent state just now. Could it be that there was a turning point?
Chen Xiang pulled him into another hall, and then whispered a few words to the guards.
Chen Xiang did not tell Yuan Xianming, and Yuan Xian frowned, not knowing what the emperor meant.
After waiting for a long time, I saw many soldiers surrounded two people, completely surrounding them and sending them here.
These two people are not too old, but they are elegant and dignified.
At this time, the two of them paid homage to Chen Xingli, one after another, and of course they also read their own names.
"Yang Jian pays homage to Your Majesty!!"
"Yang Su pays homage to Your Majesty!!"
Chen Xiang smiled and asked them to get up, but Yuan Xian was shocked.
After the two of them sat down, Chen looked at Yuan Xian, "Yuan Qing, come from afar and join me...\n...\n.\n. The reputation of the Duke of the Kingdom is known to everyone in the world. Is this a turning point?"
Yuan Xian didn't know how to speak.
Yang Jian sighed first, "Oh, the defeated general is here to join us now, just wanting to have a place to settle down and fight with the Liu thief... I really can't bear the praise of Your Majesty."
Yang Su sat honestly behind Yang Jian, without saying a word.
Yuan Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at them, "I heard that Duke Sui was defeated by the Han army and disappeared. When did the State of Chen come to him?"
Yang Jian hurriedly replied, "After being defeated, I fled everywhere, in a mess, and then crossed the river, but didn't know where I was. I was afraid of being pursued by the Han people, so I dared not approach the city. I walked the path. After walking for a long time, I realized that I was out of danger. Then I contacted the local officials and asked for a secret message to Your Majesty."
"I was not allowed to be enemies with General Chen in the past, so I didn't dare to reveal my traces."
Yuan Xian said oh.
His reaction was a little cold, while Chen Zuo's reaction became very enthusiastic.
Chen Xiang talked to Yang Jian for a long time, and then asked, "Duke Sui came here to borrow troops or to restore the country?"
Yang Jian trembled all over and stood up suddenly, his eyes flushed.
"Your Majesty, the Zhou Kingdom has perished."
"My family has been entrusted with Zhou Lu for generations. Before Emperor Daxing passed away, he even entrusted the country with the state. However, I failed to do my duty to make the country fall. I originally wanted to commit suicide and apologize, but I persuaded me to do so."
"They said, I have a bloody hatred with Liu Taozi. My father died in their hands and my country was destroyed in his hands. As a real man, he did not want to take revenge, but only wanted to commit suicide. Why call him a real man?"
Yang Jian wiped his tears and suddenly knelt in front of Chen Xiang.
"His Majesty!!"
"If you can resist Liu Thief today, you will be the only one who can resist Liu Thief. If Your Majesty does not dislike you, I will follow Your Majesty and do my best to resist Liu Taozi to repay my hatred!!"
Yang Jian said, and repeatedly bowed to Chen Xiang.
Chen was stunned, then hurried forward and helped Yang Jian up, looking sad, "Why is Duke Sui like this?"
"I was also very sad after hearing about the matter between Zhou State."
"If the Duke of the State intends to follow, how could I refuse?"
"Please get up! Please get up!"
Chen Xiang helped the other party up again, and this time he sat even further.
Yuan Xian sat on the other side, with a little confused on his face.
Why does he always feel that the emperor is too close to this person?
After Yang Jian's repeated pleas and flattery, Chen formally accepted the other party's allegiance, and in the way of Chen State, he turned Sui Guo Duke into Sui County Duke, and gave him a relatively high position of general.
Yang Jian thanked him repeatedly.
Chen then asked him about dealing with Liu Taozi.
Yang Jian said his thoughts without hesitation.
In front of Yang Jian, Huang Fajita's ideas seemed too conservative.
Yang Jian believed that the order could be issued directly to confiscate the land and wealth of the temple, force them to return to secular life, and then limit the number of tenants owned by the large clan, release them on a large scale, and order the amount to be required, and then the land was granted to the country to appease the people.:::. Chen Suo was shocked and hurriedly reminded: "Yang Qing, do not talk about it to the public if you do this."
"General Huang was impeached by many people for his similar letters..."
"Your Majesty, I have always been a straight man and don't know how to tell lies. Besides, why do you fear other people's opinions when you are a minister?"
"What I am worried about is that I cannot help Your Majesty to defeat the thief.
Chen Xiang's face was calm, but he was very happy. The two of them discussed for a long time.
When Yang Jian left, Chen admired him a lot of things, from the house to the carriages and horses, and even clothes.
Yang Jian thanked him repeatedly and then left.
Chen looked at Yuan Xian and asked with a smile: "This person has been fighting with Liu Taozi for many years and is familiar with the strategy of the North.
He knew how to lead the cavalry. It is said that Yang Su was also both civil and military, and was extremely brave."
"No wonder Your Majesty is so excited."
"Not only that, Yang Jian has some connections among the Zhou people. After Liu Taozi defeated the Zhou Kingdom, he couldn't wait to start killing people, and he lost his heart. Yang Jian can help us win over those old friends from the Zhou Kingdom, which can play a huge role. Isn't this a turning point?"
Well, Yuan Xian always felt that the emperor was so happy because Yang Jian was an outsider.
Even if people like Huang Faku suffer great criticism in China, they are still locals. They have friends, relatives, connections and support them here.
But like Yang Jian, he is a completely outsider. He has no connection here and basically has no possibility of achieving great things...:::
Could this be the reason why the emperor attaches so much importance to it?
Yuan Xian didn't like Yang Jian very much.
When the Zhou Kingdom had not yet perished, someone sent a letter to Zhou Kingdom. The leader was Yang Jian. The letter said that they wanted to take the Zhou Lord to Chen Kingdom, and they had a vague idea of ​​selling the owner.
Yuan Xian felt that this person might not be as loyal as he showed.
He cleared his throat, looked at Chen who was very happy, and suddenly said, "This person from the north looks different from the south...\n. I see Duke Sui, who looks tall and big, looks like Hou Jing."
