Chapter 258 Those who have a good reputation in the world
Xia Xun came to the Jinyi Guards Command to command the envoys department, and saw Luo Ke the enemy, who was in charge of the military affairs.
Luo Kedi was very leisurely. He thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, Jin Yiwei would soon be able to rise again by cutting off the vassal vassal. However, the great cause of cutting down the vassal vassal had always been in the hands of Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others. These Confucian scholars did not treat Jin Yiwei at all.
See, they only occasionally use the Jin Yiwei when they need to slap someone, wipe their butts, or when they really don't want to do some dirty tricks. For example, this time they came up with a nonsense nursery rhyme and ordered the Jin Yiwei to sing it.
.
However, Luo Kedi did not feel depressed. He had survived Jin Yiwei's most difficult time. Does he still care about the small setbacks in front of him? After so many years of training, Luo Kedi's character has been honed to be extremely persevering. His father is
One of the earliest founders of Jinyiwei, he joined Jinyiwei at a very young age and has been firmly tied to Jinyiwei his whole life.
Honor, common prosperity; disgrace, common humiliation.
His only ideal and belief is that in his lifetime, he and his father and son will strive for the cause that two generations of his father and son have fought for: Jin Yiwei can rise again. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and he has been preparing
, he firmly believes that this opportunity will definitely come.
It was not until King Yan came to Beijing that his hopes were finally dashed.
Among the kings, the only one who could intimidate the emperor was King Yan. King Yan unexpectedly made a fool of himself and went to the capital to die. Once he entered Nanjing, King Yan was like a caged bird. The emperor only needed one edict and the two of them would be killed.
The jailer can manipulate King Yan at will. If King Yan dies so easily, it will be much easier for the court to cut down the feudal vassals.
Although King Ning Zhu Quan has led troops for many years and also has a certain deterrent effect on the imperial court, Zhu Quan is far away in Liaodong. The troops and horses in northern Liaoning rely on chariots and horses to transport supplies from the pass. As long as Peiping falls into the hands of the imperial court, it will be cut off.
Without King Ning's food supply, even if King Ning had millions of warriors, he would be defeated without a fight. He was no match for the imperial court.
Therefore, as long as King Yan dies, it means that the imperial court can easily cut down the vassalage, and there will be no major obstacles. This also means that there is no possibility for Jinyiwei to rise again. He can inherit his father's career and contribute to the revitalization of Jinyiwei.
And he dedicated his life, including the support of many old subordinates who were loyal to Jinyiwei. If he could not make a difference in his lifetime, then when he handed over this responsibility again, would it be possible for Jinyiwei to make a comeback?
Luo Qianshi always liked tea and rarely drank alcohol. When Xia Xun entered the room, he saw Luo Qianshi drinking wine. Water was boiling on the stove, but there was wine on the table. Luo Qianshi's jade-like face had already changed.
There was a faint blush and a slight smell of alcohol.
Seeing Xia Xun come in, he held the wine glass and asked lightly: "Why don't you hand over the surrender letter I prepared for you and win the trust of King Yan?"
"Because it's not needed!"
Xia Xun sat down cross-legged in front of him and said calmly: "My lord, when I came to Peiping, I found that the King of Yan was now a soldier.
He was suspicious."
Luo Kedi raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then raised his slightly drunken eyes and said, "Is that *** next to you a gift from King Yan?"
Xia Xun was not surprised. He had known that Xiao Qianyue would report Luo Qian's matter if he saw it. Xia Xun smiled calmly and replied: "Yes, King Yan does have the intention to win over the humble position. However, Yan
The king's current situation is that the building is about to collapse, and everyone in the world can see it. He does not expect that with the help of some rich women, he can make the humble post work for him. He just hopes to bribe the humble post to make it less difficult for him.
Just say a few nice words for him.
I humbly obey your Lordship's instructions, and King Yan will not refuse when he presents me with money and silk. I accept his benefits, make him feel at ease, and feel that my existence is beneficial and harmless to him, and establish a relatively close relationship. That is enough. King Yan
There is no objection at the moment, and it is difficult to find an excuse against him. I think it is better to just wait and see what happens if I think it is a humble job."
There was a slight look of admiration in Luo Kedi's eyes, and he praised: "Very good. It's hard to go against the grain, so just go with it and wait for changes. Only by being able to go against the grain is the way to be invincible. You really didn't disappoint me. I'll leave the important matter to you."
It’s right for you to do it.”
Xia Xun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you are complimenting me. I am humble and just want to follow you, do a great cause, and restore the glory of my Imperial Guard."
Luo Kedi sighed sadly and said: "It's a pity... we don't have anything big to do. God forbid, King Yan actually made a fool of himself..."
Luo Kedi turned around slightly and looked at the painting on the wall that he cherished the most, "The Map of Imperial Clothing with the Emperor". After staring at it for a long time, he sighed sadly, turned around and said again: "After you come back, follow Yan
Has the king been to Xiaoling? King Yan cried and offered sacrifices to the late emperor. Is there anything else?"
Xia Xun frowned slightly and said: "Yes, King Yan just went to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to mourn the late emperor. The problem is that King Yan's speech of condolences was generous and intense, and his grief and anger were inexplicable. I felt that his reckless venting would probably cause death."
It will bring disaster to his life."
Luo Kedi smiled silently and said in a deep voice: "As long as he comes, he will be killed. What difference does it make if he says something or says nothing at Xiaoling? Did he say anything impassioned?"
Xia Xun then carefully narrated the story of King Yan's mourning in the mausoleum. King Yan's original words were half-written and half-text. Xia Xun could not remember them all clearly. He only told Luo Kedi the general idea.
Knees, listening quietly, when Xia Xun finished speaking, Luo Kedi's brows also frowned slightly.
Xia Xun did not rush him, just like him, he pressed his hands on his knees and waited quietly. Luo Kedi tapped his knees with his fingers. After a long time, his brows suddenly moved, and he said softly "Oh", and suddenly said: "What a good plan.
, so scheming!”
Xia Xun quickly asked: "What did you find, sir?"
A look of relief appeared on Luo Kedi's face. The calm and graceful demeanor of the past had returned to him. He took the two cups with a smile, lifted the water heater on the stove, brushed his long sleeves with one hand, and carried the
Tin pot, he filled two teacups like a dragonfly, took a cup for himself, blew it gently, then took a small sip, closed his eyes slightly, showing an intoxicated look.
Xia Xun leaned forward slightly and waited quietly for his guidance. After tasting the tea in his mouth and swallowing it gently, Luo Kedi smiled and said: "The return of King Yan to the capital can be said to be dangerous.
Extremely."
Xia Xun nodded and said: "Yes, he actually came in a situation of near death. I have always wondered how he had such courage."
Luo Kedi smiled and said: "You are wrong. It is not about nine deaths, but ten deaths. King Yan was destined to never come back, but King Yan put himself to death, and now he has a chance to live."
Xia Xun really didn't understand the truth. In any case, he was just an ordinary police academy student in his previous life. He cooperated with the police as an undercover agent. He only had some professional knowledge and work experience as a police officer. As for the general trend of history, he also experienced it through
I have some understanding from some books I have studied and read.
However, his understanding of the human nature of people and the affairs of the officialdom is definitely not as good as that of Luo Kedi, or even better than many officials in this era. His grasp of the human nature of people's hearts is far less perfect in this system than in modern times. Being an official means being a human being.
In that era, those people were more advanced than modern people, and Xia Xun still needed to continue to learn and temper.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Luo Kedi pointed out: "When King Yan comes north, if you expect that the emperor will care about his uncle and nephew and spare him, it would be a big mistake. The connections he made in the past and the military exploits he made are impeccable.
His innocence is not a problem at all. As long as the emperor wants to deal with him, he will definitely have a way. If he wants to accuse him, why bother? The only thing he can rely on is public opinion."
"Public opinion?"
"Yes, before King Yan came south, the news had already spread all over the country. After King Yan arrived at Jinling, he circled the city for half a week, attracting the attention of the whole city, and then went to Xiaoling with great fanfare. Such behavior has only one purpose, which is
It attracted the attention of everyone in the government and the public, and became the most important point of public opinion.
The emperor may not care whether King Yan was unjustly accused, but he must not care about public opinion. People like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru are people who value their reputation more than their lives. They may not care about their lives and futures, but they must not let their reputations be tarnished.
, being criticized and made irresponsible remarks."
Seeing that Xia Xun was listening attentively, Luo Kedi continued: "King Zhou, King Qi, and King Dai have been deposed, and there have been some unfair discussions between the government and the public. This is caused by Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others' eagerness for success.
The evil consequences. The emperor had just ascended the throne and was young and young. These adults had just ascended the throne and had a weak foundation. Therefore, almost every step they took and every word they said wanted to see whether the reaction of the government and the public would be praise or slander.
It's fine if they don't have a good reputation, but these adults cherish feathers very much. The grievances between the government and the public have already made them feel a little bit on pins and needles. King Yan mobilized an army to mourn the late emperor, accusing them of being treacherous ministers.
He will definitely attract the attention of the government and the public, and everyone will watch with wide eyes to see what will happen to him, whether he will be killed by a traitor as he said when he cried to the late emperor. Do you think Huang Zicheng and others will let this traitor die?
Has his reputation fulfilled his body?"
Xia Xun couldn't believe it and said hesitantly: "That's it? Mr. Huang and the others have been deliberately planning to get rid of King Yan. Now that King Yan himself has come to the door, they can get rid of him easily. Mr. Huang and the others... they
Will you miss this opportunity just to worry about some criticism from the government and the opposition?"
Luo Kedi burst out laughing: "Isn't it ridiculous? I think it's ridiculous too, but you shouldn't be surprised. You are a scholar and a disciple of a famous religion. Didn't the saint teach you that fame and integrity are more important than mountains, and benefits and harms are like clouds?" Mencius said: Okay.
A person with a good reputation can make a country of thousands of chariots! These ministers are not willing to let themselves be stained at all. For this reason, I am afraid that King Yan will really be able to escape unscathed when he comes south this time!"
Xia Xun's heart moved slightly, and he quickly said tentatively: "Then... what should we do? Should we report it to the emperor, or remind you all, so as not to fall into the trap."
Luo Kedi smiled slightly, picked up the pot, slowly filled the tea cup, and said mysteriously: "What's the hurry? If you want to make a pot of good tea, you can't do it without the heat..."
