Sitting under the east wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion Hall were the councillors and doctors who belonged to Taichang, and most of them were virtuous people from the Sanfu region, or scholars from the county.Among them, there was a Confucian scholar wearing a Confucian crown and a short stature, who was in his thirties, and after sitting down, he took out the slip and pen and ink and placed them on his lap.This Runan scholar named "Huan Kuan", he is not the Taishi who is in charge of the minutes of the meeting, but every time there is an important meeting, he will record the words of both sides.A few years ago, at the Salt and Iron Conference, it was Huan Kuan who recorded the mutual interrogation between Shangxian Liangxue and the imperial historian Sang Hongyang, called it the Salt and Iron Theory, and spread it among Confucian scholars.Although even if Sang Hongyang fell, the general Huo Guang broke his promise, except for the abolition of the liquor monopoly, there was no change in the policies such as salt and iron.But through that war, the world's virtuous scholars still twisted into a rope, they stayed in Chang'an, Xianju Que Ting, Shu Six Arts Style, on the Plain of Peace.And now, the battle is about to start again."
Do you want to say anything at the next meeting?"
Next to Huan Kuan is a student from Jiujiang County, he has the temperament of Wu Chu, he was angry in the salt and iron meeting, sneering at the minister, he is straight and unyielding, and he is not afraid of the strong.Huan Kuan did not directly agree: "I'll listen and remember first, and you will argue with it first." ”Zhu Sheng's head was bowed: "Good, if Ren Hong is the marquis this time, and he is ranked noble in the Western Regions, the country will definitely be like the world of filial piety, competing to go to the Western Regions, talking about foreign interests, and vainly provoking for the sake of the marquis.""
More than 20 years ago, Li Guangli's expedition to Dawan was too tragic, and the soldiers returned to the Yumen only three or four tenths, many people buried their bones in foreign lands, and the treasury was also empty, and finally passed on to the local counties, and the officials levied and extorted violently in order to flatter them, resulting in the thieves in the last years of Emperor Wu, and the world was in chaos.Therefore, the virtuous scholars believe that war is the main culprit that leads to the chaos in the world.In this regard, the virtuous scholars argued with the utilitarian doctors led by Sang Hongyang in the salt and iron conference.Sang Hongyang actually thought that there was nothing wrong with Xiaowu attacking Dawan back then, because once the army was dismissed, it was equivalent to giving up the Western Regions, and the states of the Western Regions would be attached to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu would be reinstated, and the war would not be fought in the Western Regions, but in Shuofangyun.However, Xianliangxue thinks that this is a fallacy, but it is only a temporary power, and does not consider the long-term.The Han envoys talked about Dawan's sweat and blood in front of the emperor, and the true jade bird that rested in peace, which moved Emperor Xiaowu's heart, so that he would go on an expedition.They don't learn the art of war, they all know that it is really worth it to attack the country of people for thousands of miles, and more than half of the soldiers have died without a fight, and finally get dozens of heavenly horses and the illusory submission of the Hu people?
On the other hand, the Li people in China are in distress, treachery and hypocrisy are sprouting, and thieves are rising.It's a pity that although they questioned Sang Hongyang silently, what made the virtuous scholars chill was that after the fall of Sang Hongyang, the Salt and Iron Conference strongly supported them, and General Huo, who was regarded by them as the "reincarnation of Zhou Gong", seemed to have changed and still used Sang's policy.In the third year of Yuanfeng, he sent Fu Jiezi to the Western Regions to kill the king of Loulan and return to peace.Yuanfeng four years, but also Tuntian Luntai!
This seems to have completely repudiated the Luntai edict and embarked on the same path as Xiaowu, which is diametrically opposed to what they imagined.And this year, as expected by the virtuous scholars, the officials stationed in Luntai really caused trouble and were besieged by the Xiongnu and Qiuzi, and in order to save them, the Han had to spend tens of millions of military expenses and send a large army expedition, and the nightmare of the battle of Dawan seemed to be about to reappear.Although the confessor Ren Hong later borrowed Wusun soldiers, repelled the Xiongnu, and solved Qiuzi, if he was made a marquis because of this, he would inevitably be pushed as a benchmark by the faction that was eager for military merit.What one person destroys a country, the horse is on the Tianshan Mountain, the fire ox breaks the Hulu, and the evil young man of the good family in the world listens to this legendary story, and his eyes are red at his meritorious throne, I am afraid that he will rush to the Western Regions.Therefore, today's virtuous scholars must stop Ren Hong from becoming a marquis!
This is not aimed at anyone, but the battle of advance and retreat on the issue of the Western Regions, whether the Han Dynasty will be kingly or domineering!
Therefore, as soon as Prime Minister Wang Cheng and Imperial Historian Yang Chang announced the start of the assembly, Xianliangxue's side spoke first."
I thought that Ren Hong shouldn't be a marquis!"
Jiujiang Xue Zhusheng stood up and bowed his hand to the ministers: "He is the grandson of the sinner Ren An, and he should have been imprisoned for three generations!"
”Next, Zhu Sheng, who had studied the law, began to emphasize that the crime of disloyalty and deception committed by Ren An back then was simply the anger of people and gods, and the clan could be wiped out, so how could his descendants be crowned marquis?
I completely forgot that the virtuous scholars also criticized the strict punishment of filial piety and martial arts on different occasions, which harmed the families of the criminals.Xianliangxue's main opponent, sitting in the north, was extremely eager for military merit, but a rough voice shouted: "Ridiculous, I remember that when he was in the queen of Gao, Han Wangxin's son Han Yan became a great man in Nantou and was awarded the title of Marquis of Bow." ”"And when Emperor Xiaojing, Lu Juan's grandson Lu Tazhi surrendered to Han as the king of Donghu and was named the Marquis of Yagu.""
According to the three generations of imprisonment, how can these two be crowned marquis?
Ren An is guilty, but his guilt can be compared to Han Wangxin and Lu Juan?
”The speaker was Changshui Lieutenant Xin Wuxian, Xin Wuxian commanded Changshui Huqi, he was a native of Didao in Longxi County, and among the six county good sons who were officials in the court, his status and fame were second only to Zhao Chongguo, the commander of the Hou General and Shuiheng.Unlike Xianliangxue's efforts to stop Ren Hong's feudal marquis, the sons of the six counties are extremely supportive of this matter, they are not the opponents of the Confucian scholars in the Kanto region by playing scriptures, if the border is peaceful again, where can they earn fame?
If Ren Hong can be made a marquis, he will be able to further advance the imperial court's conquest in the Western Regions.Han Yandang's descendants are full of the government and the opposition, Han Yan, who is favored by Emperor Xiaowu, Han Shuo, who was killed by Prince Wei in the witch Gu incident, and the current former general Han Zeng, the crimes committed by their ancestors have not affected them at all.Zhu Sheng couldn't refute, so he could only say bluntly: "Han and Lu were made princes by the Xiongnu, which is different. ”"Then don't talk about the sins of the ancestors, just talk about the merits of war!"
Xin Wuxian laughed and said: "The Han family system is not meritorious, and the world will attack it."
According to the reward set by Emperor Xiaojing, the first level of the middle rate can be crowned marquis. ”The "middle captive rate" of the Han Dynasty was the "Profit Theory" of the Qin Dynasty, and the general field battle of 2,000 heads was the standard for feudal marquis.For example, in the first battle of Huo Quai's disease, he beheaded 2,208 captives, and Xiangguo and Danghu, beheaded the eldest father's family Ruohou, and captured Ji's father Luo Gubi, and then championed, with 1,600 households as the champion Hou.In the same year, Shanggu Taishou Hao Xian, who followed Wei Qing out of the fortress, captured and beheaded more than 2,000 captives, and took 1,100 households to Fengxian as the public marquis.Of course, the number of beheadings in Li Guang's lifetime may have exceeded this number, but because he failed to win all the battles every time, and there were too many casualties to behead to repay his merits, he was not allowed to be crowned a marquis after all.And Ren Hong was alone, and the dead were also friendly soldiers, so naturally there was no need to consider casualties.Xin Wuxian and Fu Jiezi are both sons of the six counties, they have worked together for many years, and he raised his hands to support the development of the Western Regions, and he has long been ready to fight a good battle with Xianliangxue today."
This time, Ren Hong also beheaded 2,000 Qiuzi soldiers in Qiuci City and Luntai City, and there were more than 1,000 beheadings in the Quli Iron Gate, and he gave it to Quli Sima Xi Chongguo, but it was enough to moderate the rate of the marquis!"
Zhu Shengqiang argued: "The heads of Qiuzi and Luntai, when the military commander ordered them to go to verify, most of them were rotten and uncountable, who knows if they are soldiers or not, what if they are Qiuci civilians who have been killed indiscriminately?"
And most of them were killed by the Wusun people, so they should not be counted.Similar things, Yiyang Hou also did, the year before the Battle of Loulan, the Ruoqiang people beheaded Hu Lu, and was used by him to repay his subordinates. ”Zhu Sheng looked at the prime minister and the imperial historian who presided over the meeting: "I propose to send an envoy to investigate this matter thoroughly, if Ren Hong lies about the number of beheadings, he should follow the example of Emperor Xiao Shi Yunzhong to guard Wei Shang's affairs and be severely punished!"
”"Rotten!"
Xin Wuxian was annoyed, stood up on the ground, and scolded: "Ren Hong is a mere confidant, encountered Qiuci rebel Han, and the Xiongnu besieged Luntai, canal plow, Ren Hong went to thousands of miles, relying on the three-inch tongue to ask for Wusun reinforcements, destroy Qiuzi, relieve the difficulty of Luntai, and make the Xiongnu right Xianwang retreat, this can be described as a thousand miles of Zhen Brigade, you actually want to collect the system according to the test, and the relatives are bitter and the enemy is fast." ”"I suspect that you are a spy sent by the Right Virtuous King of the Huns to lurk in the Great Han!"
Although Captain Changshui is not wearing armor today, he still has the momentum of a general, even if there are more than a dozen steps in between, it also makes the virtuous students afraid, fortunately, the swords are left outside, he touched it and touched the air, and he just wanted to step forward and grab Zhu Sheng to fight.Zhu Sheng had to shout while retreating from the queen: "Prime Minister, Imperial Doctor, Captain Changshui roared at the Prime Minister's Mansion, be chased!"
”"Even if you want to chase you, wait for Naigong to tear your mouth and chase it again!"
Prime Minister Wang hurriedly coughed, the timid and fearful Imperial Doctor Yang Chang's eyes widened, and the voice of the reprimand was weak, seeing that the good Xiangfu meeting was about to turn into a brawl like countless times in the past, but fortunately, behind Xin Wuxian, a secretary wearing a compassionate crown stopped him."
Captain Xin, slow down the use of force, let me reason with him."
This secretary is the opposite of Xin Wuxian, polite, with a gentle smile, although he is only in his forties, his sideburns are already blooming.But it is a doctor of Guanglu, who serves in the canonical country!
The vassal state was the institution directly responsible for the affairs of the vassal state, and the five vassal states were under their jurisdiction, and the foreign affairs of the Han and the Fan state were also under the control of the vassal state.Today's canon country is the famous Su Wu, and the right of the canon country Chang Hui is a fake official who has been detained for 19 years with Su Wu as an envoy to the Huns, thanks to his wit, Su Wu was able to return, and now he is still Su Wu's right-hand man.Similar to the Liangjiazi of the six counties who want to open up the border and make meritorious contributions, these former Han envoys who were in charge of the subject country are the people who understand the difficulty of soldiers in the Western Regions the most, of course, they also hope that their positions can be expanded, otherwise they will cut off contact with the Western Regions as they did a few years ago, and the subject country may be revoked at any time and merged into the Great Honglu with similar functions.So in this matter, they are allies with the generals and captains of the six counties.Chang Hui said a few words in Xin Wuxian's ear, persuaded him to sit down, walked to the center, and bowed his hand to the prime minister and the imperial doctor: "Even if the beheadings of Qiuzi and Luntai are difficult to verify one by one, the heads of the King of Qiuci and the King of Yuli are always real, right?"
”"According to the reward department, if you kill the enemy chieftain king, you can also be a marquis.In the battle of Zhangye the year before last, Guo Zhong, the commander of Zhangye's subordinate state, beheaded the king of plough and made Cheng Anhou.Fu Jiezi even named the Marquis of Yiyang by beheading the king of Loulan, and there is a precedent to ask.One head is still sealed for 700 households, but two heads are not sealed, which may provoke criticism from all over the world. ”"And Ren Hong's merits don't stop there, he said that moving Wusun to send troops is equivalent to making Wusun completely abandon the Huns, form an alliance with the Han, and cut off the right arm of the Huns.""
He also said along the way that King Gumo sent envoys to the court, and King Gumo contacted Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Shache and other states, a total of eight Western Regions cities and countries to invite the Han Dynasty, sever relations with the Xiongnu, restore the status of foreign ministers of the state, and the north and south of the Western Regions, all erect yellow flags!"
This is all the affairs that the subject country is responsible for, and Chang Hui is clear about it."
In the past, Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, did not have the merit of beheading the battle, but because he made the Great Xia of the Peerless Kingdom, he was able to make the Marquis of Wusun and Kundi for the Han Dynasty.Now it seems that Ren Hong, as a messenger, also has a great merit!
”"According to all this, Ren Hong must not only be a marquis, but also have to seal more than a thousand households!"
Xin Wuxian and other lieutenants who supported this proposal loudly agreed, and Yang Chang, the imperial historian, and the prime minister began to exchange opinions, while the Confucian scholars exchanged heads and ears, and did not stand up to refute them for the time being.These are facts that cannot be denied, who made Ren Hong make so many contributions in one breath, as if he knew that there would be people in the court who opposed his marquis.Yang Yun, who was sitting in the back row of the south, smiled, it seemed that he didn't need to go out.Then at this time, Huan Kuan, who was still writing on the fly, stopped writing.Because of the leader of Xianliangxue, a scholar from Zhongshan County, Dr.
Liu Ziyong has slowly stood up.He is a close confidant of Wei Xian, who is the teacher of today, Zou Lu Daru, who is responsible for the etiquette of foreign countries entering the court.Therefore, Liu Ziyong had contact with the envoy of Gumo who came to knock early, and it is said that he has a killer weapon to reverse today's situation!
But seeing Liu Ziyong solemnly descending from the court, he said to the prime minister and the imperial doctor: "I have something to do, and I have to show you the ministers." ”"Ren Hongben is not a festival envoy, but he privately made a festival scepter in the Western Regions, and he corrected it!"
PS: Really, not a drop is gone, and the monthly pass plus will be tomorrow.Let's start by saying that this book will not rebel, for reasons seen in chapter 77.
