Chapter 840: King Qin Persuades to Enter the Table
Chang'an in April has not yet recovered from the war, and there are still many families in mourning inside and outside the city.
On this day, Wu Ze returned to the Wu Mansion from the government office. He went to the mourning hall to kowtow to his grandfather before arriving at the courtyard, where he saw his third uncle Wu Dingzheng coming out accompanied by a man in his fifties.
After seeing each other, Wu Ze accompanied Wu Ding to see off the guests. When the uncle and nephew walked back, they talked about today's guest.
This guest's name was Sun Fengchen. A few years ago, when Wu Qian learned about Qingyuan Prefecture, Sun Fengchen was the magistrate of Xiangshan County under his rule. The two had a close personal relationship and often wrote poems about each other.
But one year, Qingyuan Mansion was hit by a flood, and the imperial court stipulated that private housing rentals should be exempted for half a year. However, Sun Fengchen, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, did not implement it in order to protect the interests of large homeowners. Wu Qian ignored personal friendship and petitioned to remove Sun Fengchen from office...
At this time, Wu Ding talked about these things and said with emotion, "I didn't expect him to come all the way to express condolences for his father." Wu Ze also sighed.
He was still young and seeing this kind of friendship for the first time.
Wu Qianqian separates personal relationships from official matters and remains impartial. It is rare for Sun Fengchen to understand this and not have any grudges. "After today's meeting, the king talked to me about rehabilitating my grandfather. I have no worries."
If suitable candidates go to Lin'an, why not ask Sun Zhixian to handle it?"
"Rehabilitate?" Wu Ding pondered. "If not, grandpa will feel sorry."
"It is of course a pity that I have been loyal to the Song Dynasty for more than forty years and was unjustly demoted." Wu Dingdao said, "But at this juncture, will there be any unforeseen consequences?" Wu Zedao said, "Jiang just arrived in Chang'an today. In other words, the Battle of Kuimen has already had its results.
Even before the war started, the general had forced the vanguard to rebel. We spread the word that Jia Sidao was planning to rebel. This is the time to expose the Xunzhou case. Continue to point out the evidence of Jia Sidao's crimes and seek justice for his grandfather.'
Wu Ding turned his head and looked towards the mourning hall.
"Revealing the Xunzhou case at this time is not an extraneous incident, but a matter of settling the accounts and dividing the family, starting from the time when Jia Sidao spread rumors to persecute his grandfather, and ending with Liu Zongshen's poisoning."
Wu Dingdao: "I'm afraid it is impossible for that official to rehabilitate his father. His father has always opposed his succession. It is impossible for Jia Sidao to admit that he ordered Liu Zongshen to poison."
"If they don't agree, there will always be courtiers who will agree." Wu Ze asked, "Did the third uncle write to contact the eldest uncle? The second uncle contacted me. That's how Sun Zhixian learned about his father's death..."
Wu Qian's eldest son Wu Pu and second son Wu Lin were both Jinshi in the fourth year of Xingchang, and they were on the same list as Wen Yunsun and Lu Xiufu.
When Wu Qian faked his death in Xunzhou, because he was a criminal official, he could not carry his coffin back to his hometown and had to be "buried" on the spot. At that time, Wu Pu and Wu Lin were still serving as officials, and after hearing the news, they rushed to Xunzhou to observe their mourning.
They have official status and are implicated by Wu Qian. Although Ding You has always been under residential surveillance.
At that time, Li Xia regained Guanzhong and did not want to be known to the court for the time being to avoid conflicts with the court. It was not until recently that he was ready to stand on his own feet that he invited Wu Pu. Wu Lin abandoned his official position and went to Shu. This was not too late, and he had just gained the strength to compete with the court.
They made the matter public. Unexpectedly, Wu Qian was dead, Wu Pu and Wu Lin waited until the news came and it turned out to be their father's death.
Wu Zedao: "The King of Qin will soon become independent. The Song Dynasty did not dare to start a war, so it could only declare that the King of Qin was the King of Qin in the Song Dynasty, and promised to rehabilitate his grandfather and bring his eldest uncle and second uncle into Shu."
Wu Ding is still a little worried. Now the third and fourth rooms of the Wu family have been brought to Sichuan, but the eldest room, the second room, as well as the in-laws Ping family, Xi family, and countless disciples and old friends are all in the Song Dynasty. This was also the case before
Wu Qian has never made public his reasons for not dying.
It happened that Li Xia chose to make the matter public just when he was preparing to stand on his own feet. If Song Ting broke out, it would not only implicate Wu Pu and Wu Lin, but also cause a lot of harm.
v
"Let's put the matter of rehabilitating my father together. What if the Song Dynasty insists on quelling the rebellion and accuses the Wu family of rebellious officials and traitors? "We are sure of it."
Wu Zedao: "After today's deduction, Song Ting's reaction was so sure that the king asked me if I dared to take a gamble." "Then when will King Qin become independent?"
"It's almost time. First, we need to move the royal capital to Chang'an. Second, we need to wait for the news from Lin'an to come back. Third, we need to find out the thoughts of some officials under our rule. These three things are ready."
After saying this, the uncle and nephew arrived at the mourning hall. Wu Ze burned incense and looked at Wu Qian's tablet with mixed emotions.
He has been advising Li Xia recently. Sometimes he feels that he is strategizing and everything is predicted. He said that the Kuimen will win in a battle and that the Song Dynasty will not dare to break up. They all hit the mark. Isn't it amazing?
After calming down, Wu Ze realized that it was not him who was powerful, but just following the trend. As long as he came up with a strategy, everyone would work together to make it happen, which of course showed that the person who came up with the strategy was extremely resourceful.
But what if we were in Lin'an and were in a situation where everything was restricted?
When an emperor is too weak, so weak that even the ministers who show a little bit of ability may be superior to the emperor, there will be no use of any wisdom and tricks. Really powerful people have anticipated this situation more than ten years ago.
."The minister has no talent that is as far as history, and the loyal king has no blessing from your majesty." The Song Dynasty court was unable to reach this point, which was not achieved overnight.
Even the advice put forward by the foresighted man ten years ago could not restore the country's situation. To this day, even if Zhuge is still alive in the Song Dynasty, can the current officials of the Song Dynasty compare with the Queen of Shu?
A weak country and a weak leader are so helpless.
After thinking this, Wu Ze bowed deeply, turned around, and strode to the study.
He raised his hand to stop his wife and children who came forward to prevent others from disturbing him. He sharpened his ink alone and started writing. After the words "Chen Chengxin Lang Wu Ze", he left several columns blank and wrote "
"Qin said" two words. After that, continue writing the main text.
"Since Jingkang, the capital has been destroyed, the country has been ruined, and the Central Plains has been ruined. The tombs of the emperor's ancestors have been exposed to the enemy, and they are not allowed to visit and worship. The land is separated, and the people are in hardship. This is a great humiliation for China, and the officials cannot bear to talk about it.
"Today, Jia Sidao steals the power of the country, specializes in serving the party, and confuses the emperor's heart. He deceives heaven and ignores people, blocks the path of justice and justice, forgets hatred and destroys justice, does not think about restoring the north to the central plains, and attacks the country's foundation, but only cares about promotion and mediocrity.'
"The country is in trouble. There are barbarians outside who want to devour the world, and there are powerful people inside who rape and harm the people. The world is in danger of overthrowing...
"Prince of Pingling County, Li Xia, the envoy of pacification and disposal of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Tianxi were brave. They took recovery as their own responsibility and fought a hundred battles to re-install Song Ding... However, if the title of the title is not outstanding, and the Jiuxi is not added, there is no way to control the country. Commander Lu
Outside, powerful traitors blocked the sight and hearing, but the ministers only followed the old etiquette, and asked for the throne to be announced immediately. Guanzhong, Longxi, Hexi, Sichuan, Shu, and Dali were combined into a kingdom, and they appointed their own officials.'
Two days later, when Lu Xiufu saw this, he put down the "Prince of Qin's Persuasion to Enter the Form" in his hand and said to Wu Ze: "Duifu knows what he is doing." "Of course he knows."
Wu Ze was holding a pen in his hand and was handing it to Lu Xiufu, asking, "Brother Jun Shi, why don't you sign a joint name?" Lu Xiufu, Wu Pu and Wu Lin were among the winners in the same year, and they had always been in contact with each other, so they were also in contact with Wu Ze.
acquaintance.
When Li Xia was granted the title of King of Pingling County, he recommended Sun Xian as the transfer envoy and Lu Xiufu to know Lizhou. Now two years have passed and Lu Xiufu was recruited to Chang'an last month. He just arrived today.
It was also the first time for Lu Xiufu to come to Chang'an.
When he saw Guanzhong at Dashan Pass, he longed for the possibility that he would one day regain the mountains and rivers. Unexpectedly, when he first entered Chang'an, he first paid homage to Wu Qian, and then saw this letter: "I still wonder about the war.
Why did Fang Xie summon me immediately? It turned out to be this matter."
Lu Xiufu looked at the word "King of Qin" on the paper. He moved his eyes again and saw that there were many names on the far right. "What's wrong?" "I have a few questions."
Lu Xiufu said, "You relied on your father's influence to trust you, you took the emperor's salary, and you were deeply favored by the country. You feel guilty." "This is not an anti-Song statement." Wu Ze laughed and said, "It is Jia Sidao who stole the country's power..."
"This time it's not an anti-Song statement. What about next time?" "At least not this time." "Tell me the truth, do you feel guilty?"
Wu Zedao: "No, I work for the country and receive the salary paid by the people. Why should I feel guilty? On the contrary, it is the powerful people in the dynasty who eat the people's fat and the people's opinions, and they only eat the corpses without food. They should feel guilty.'
"You said 'powerful traitors block audio and video', so you could only persuade them to come in." Lu Xiufu said, "But the fact is that you want to rebel, don't you?"
Wu Ze asked, "I made this excuse for the powerful traitor to block audio and video for the imperial court, leaving room for joint efforts to fight against the Mongols. Otherwise, if I persuade the king to proclaim himself emperor, the imperial court will have to send troops to attack, but the Mongolian fishermen will benefit."
."Why must we rebel?"
"I'll keep this matter simple. Brother Junshi, what do you think of the king? What do you think of the Lin'an official family? Is it possible for such a hero to serve such a useless person?"
"If there are heroes in the world who stand up with their swords and overthrow the world, how can the world remain stable?" "What's the harm in overthrowing the world only once in three hundred years?"
Wu Ze asked, "Look at today's chaotic world. Isn't it enough to be called a world of great strife?"
Lu Xiufu closed his eyes and sighed: "I understand, but someone has to keep the rules, otherwise the world will think that the emperor's soldiers and horses are strong, and the emperor will be in troubled times every year. Someone has to keep the rules."
"I also understand Brother Junshi's principles." Wu Zedao: "But we don't need to talk about these principles today. Because it's not yet time for Brother Junshi to observe the festival. I said that this is not an anti-Song Dynasty slogan." "What's the difference?
"
"The difference is that we have left a little leeway for the court. What if the court recognizes the name of King Qin and allows brother Junshi to continue to serve as an official in Sichuan and Shu? Even if you keep the rule, at least you have to wait for the court to publicly announce that King Qin has rebelled, right?"
Lu Xiufu shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment. If the court was really pretending to be peaceful, what could he do? Wu Ze took back the pen in his hand and no longer forced Lu Xiufu to co-sign. Not a single name was missing.
Yes. Of course there will be some objections, but they can’t stop this.
Wu Ze slowly rolled up his joint memorial with both hands and said: "With the Mongolian captives in the north, we still hope that the court will recognize the King of Qin and vindicate his grandfather. Brother Jun Shi does not have to think that it is against his integrity. If, I
What if, one day, the court wants Brother Junshi to go to Mongolia to pray for surrender, so what? Do you feel humiliated?"
Lu Xiufu frowned, obviously having difficulty answering this question.
"This is the helplessness of a weak leader and a weak country. The day before yesterday I felt sorry for my grandfather, and today I feel sorry for my brother Junshi."
Wu Ze put the rolled-up memorials into a book basket, thought for a while, and then said: "The king asked me to see you first, in case he fails to convince you and loses room for it. It shows that he has the intention to protect you.
He also asked me to tell you that strengthening the country so that the people are not humiliated is also a kind of integrity.
