Chapter 337 0332 [Dingge] (added to the leader of the Iron-Blooded Banner Captain)

Even)

Eleven giant flat cannons have been built.

The morale of the defenders in the city became increasingly low, and this was the result of being trapped in the isolated city.

Fu Xingzhong, the county magistrate of West County, was escorted by Li Jinyi. He escorted the soldiers and said: "General, this magistrate of Fu County has an excellent reputation. The officials, gentry, merchants and people of West County all say that he is a good official. Even The wealthy businessman who was under house arrest by him also said that he was a good official. Commander Li couldn't bear to kill him, so he asked me to send him over."

The man in front of me was already in his thirties. Although his body was stained with dirt, he had an awe-inspiring demeanor.

Zhu Ming looked familiar, recalled it carefully, and said with emotion: "Brother Ciru, long time no see."

"Bah, traitor!"

Fu Xingzhong glared angrily and spat over him.

The two were Jinshi in the same discipline. After the roll call, they changed into official uniforms together in the side hall and paraded through the streets together to attend the wedding banquet.

This was the second time that Ju Ming was spat on. He wiped his hands with his sleeves and joked: "Do you want to be a thief?"

Fu Xingzhong said angrily: "You also know that you are a thief!"

"I seem to remember that the Fu family has been officials for generations, so they must not be willing to become thieves." Zhu Ming stopped trying to persuade him and waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

Just let it go?

Everyone was stunned, even Fu Xingzhong was stunned.

Ju Ming said: "You are unwilling to surrender, and I can't bear to kill you. It's useless to talk too much, so it's better to let him go. You can go wherever you like, but it's best not to run around. When I capture Xingyuan Mansion, I will let him go. I'll leave as an official, and then you and I can go together."

Fu Xingzhong was quickly released and confirmed that he was truly free. He couldn't help but say: "Don't be pretentious. Such hypocrisy can only deceive foolish men and women!"

Ju Ming actually told the truth: "I specially release good officials and capable ministers. When you return to Tokyo, you will definitely not be reused, but will be punished. I can not only gain a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but also make capable ministers and the court alienate. Isn't this so? Kill two birds with one stone?"

Fu Xingzhong was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he found that this statement made sense, and then he trembled with anger: "Traitor, traitor!"

Zhu Ming put away his joking expression and said seriously: "As loyal as a traitor, I am loyal to all the people of the world. Brother Ciru's family has been filled with officials for generations, why are you still just a county magistrate after being appointed for many years? Because you are too loyal and upright. You love the people like a son and are loyal and upright. Officials cannot be promoted and reused, and there are all sycophants and treacherous people inside and outside the court. How can this world be better? I raise the army to allow good officials to display their talents. Traitors no longer hold high positions, and the common people in the world can Live and work in peace and contentment.”

"It's all nonsense. No matter how you quibble, you are still a traitor!" Fu Xingzhong sneered.

Zhu Ming asked: "Besides you, among the four counties of Xingyuan Prefecture, who else is an official who is worthy of the salary derived from the people's anointing?"

Fu Xing closed his eyes and said nothing.

Ju Ming said nothing more and only ordered: "Be on guard and attack the city tomorrow."

Fu Xingzhong did gain freedom and was even allowed to move around the military camp, but he was not allowed to touch anything, especially anything with fire.

He looked around blankly as if he was having a big dream.

I stood there until mid-afternoon, when the army began to prepare food, and the aroma was wafting through the air.

A fire soldier brought food and held it in front of Fu Xingzhong: "County Magistrate Fu, my general said that you invited him to dinner in Tokyo. This meal is considered as a return invitation. Don't be dissatisfied with the poor food. Our officers and soldiers have eaten a meal."

It’s all the same. Only generals, warriors and those who are injured or injured can add more meat and vegetables. Your meal is the food of warriors.”

Fu Xingzhong didn't care about Xiao Bing and took the food and looked at it carefully.

The rice is cooked with white rice, old rice, and corn mixed together. It is probably the same for the whole army. It is different from what the officers and soldiers eat.

Among the officers and soldiers, only middle- and high-level officers can eat white rice. Other old rice and miscellaneous grains are given to junior officers and soldiers, and they may not always be full.

Just looking at how to eat, Fu Xingzhong knew that Hanzhong was definitely gone, and most of the land of Bashu was also gone.

Fu Xingzhong's anger gradually subsided and his mind became calmer. He began to think about why Ju Ming wanted to rebel.

His family was very wealthy. When he was first appointed to the official position, he hosted many banquets for fellow scholars, and one of them invited Ju Ming. Although they did not chat for a few words, Ju Ming left a deep impression on him.

Is a person who can write "Song of Righteousness" and a person who risks his life to rebuke and scold the traitors really rebel for the sake of glory and wealth?

Tanhua Lang was born, and he became a court official and governor at a young age. In this kind of situation, as long as he does not offend the emperor and traitors, he can sneak into the court and hold a high position in his daily life, so why bother to risk the whole family and insist on launching an army to rebel?

Go against the imperial court?

Fu Xingzhong began to believe Ju Ming's statement, and even understood it.

However, I absolutely do not agree!

He also hated traitors, he also hated corrupt officials, and he also complained about the emperor. He wished that the emperor would die suddenly and be replaced by a prince with a reputation far and wide as his successor.

The only thing is, you can't rebel.

Fu Xingzhong finished his meal and said to the sergeant guarding him, "I want to see Ju Ming."

After Zhu Ming inspected the military camp, he went back to his tent to eat and read the battle report sent by Li Jinyi.

Shi Yuangong sat next to him and laughed at himself: "It seems that my alienation strategy is only useful in dramas. In real war, you still need to use military strategies."

Ju Ming said: "That's because the county magistrate guarding the city is capable. If it were anyone else, Mr. Shi's strategy would definitely work."

Shi Yuangong said: "It is a pity that useful talents are all interested in the imperial court."

Bai Qi interjected: "Do you want to stop trying to persuade me?"

Ju Ming was amused: "He is a Jinshi, and his family has been officials for several generations. He would rather die than join us."

Bai Qi said angrily: "Obviously we are right, we are killing corrupt officials, and we are conquering the world for the common people!"

Bai Qi's temperament was deeply influenced by Zhang Guangdao, and he also had the people-oriented thinking of the Zhu family and his son.

Ju Ming said: "Conquer Hanzhong and then defeat the invading officers and soldiers. The gentry and merchants in Hanzhong will no longer regard us as thieves. If we capture the whole of Sichuan and the officers and soldiers cannot be wiped out, the people of the world will no longer regard us as thieves."

Look. At that time, you will have the opportunity to recruit non-commissioned officers. If you want others to take you seriously, you have to do it yourself first."

"What the general said is extremely true, and it's true gold and stone!" Shi Yuangong raised his hands in admiration.

Ju Ming put down the battle report: "This Li Jinyi is very good, brave and resourceful, and can be reused."

Bai Qi said: "I do know how to fight. If it were me leading the troops, I probably wouldn't be able to think of such a way."

Zhu Ming thought to himself, that is Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn.

Although he knew that "Water Margin" was made up, from an emotional point of view, Ju Ming was somewhat affected by it.

"General, Magistrate Fu wants to see you!" Gu San said outside the account.

Zhu Ming said: "Invite him in."

Fu Xingzhong walked in very politely and even bowed to Ju Ming.

Seeing his style, Zhu Ming smiled and asked, "Can you please persuade me to recruit him?"

Fu Xingzhong said: "Exactly."

Ju Ming said angrily: "You think this is Wang Fu singing with the emperor, playing the role of a rebel in the morning, and then becoming a loyal minister in the afternoon? What am I trying to do?"

Fu Xing was suddenly speechless.

Ju Ming said: "I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, nothing more than serving the country through public service, and nothing more than the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules. Don't argue with me about the scriptures. You can't distinguish mine!"

Fu Xingzhong still planned to give it a try: "Those who have killed kings and rebelled since ancient times..."

"I haven't heard of regicide, but I have heard of killing a husband, Zhou!" Zhu Ming interrupted directly.

The word "regicide" could only be removed from the line and the strategy changed: "Those who have rebelled since ancient times have all been infamous and will be infamed throughout the ages. But those loyal ministers and good ministers benefited the people during their lifetimes and left their names in history after their death."

With your talents, why not be a good prime minister? You can still save the people, and you can also leave a good name for your loyalty and righteousness. You can use the banner of the Qingjun side to force the emperor to abdicate. Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as you can survive, the prince will definitely use him when he ascends the throne!

"

Zhu Ming asked: "Let's not talk about Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, just talk about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. They are rebels. Have they ever been infamed for thousands of years? I can't do it for Liu Bang. It is also good for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to overthrow the tyranny!"

Fu Xingzhong said: "Qin Shihuang was a tyrant through the ages. No matter how stupid he is today, he can never compare with the First Emperor."

Ju Ming sarcastically said: "It is indeed incomparable. The First Emperor swept across Liuhe, writing with the same text, and driving on the same track. The disaster was at that time, but the benefit will be in the future. How can he, Zhao Ji, be compared with the First Emperor?"

Hearing this, Fu Xingzhong couldn't laugh or cry, it was really incomparable.

Ju Ming added: "Your Excellency advised me to be a loyal minister and a good prime minister. Let me ask you, can King Shu be considered a loyal minister and a good prime minister?"

"King Shu implemented strict reforms and enriched the country and strengthened the army, so he was naturally regarded as a loyal minister and a good prime minister." Fu Xingzhong said.

Ju Ming said: "I am self-aware. No matter how talented or virtuous I am, I cannot compare with King Shu. How can I do what King Shu couldn't do? It is no longer possible to strengthen the country through reform. It is easier to rebel."

Fu Xingzhong wondered: "Rebellion is easier than reform?"

Ju Ming said: "The disadvantages of the Song Dynasty are so deep that it is difficult to destroy them and establish new ones. The tripod of the Song Dynasty has its advantages and disadvantages. I don't care about the importance of this Jiuding of the Song Dynasty. I just want to turn it upside down and shake off the dust. If it is not broken, it will not be established!"

Fu Xingzhong smiled bitterly: "If you don't break it, you won't establish it. This is the first time I heard someone explain the Ding hexagram like this. I really learned a lesson."

As the so-called "ding reform", the hexagram Ding talks about innovation.

The first line of the Ding hexagram is: The toe of the Ding is pointed, whether it is sharp or not.

That is to say, turning the big tripod upside down will help remove the dregs inside.

Ju Ming pointed to the north: "The current situation is that Ding Gua 92 will soon reach 93 and 94. Within ten years, it will reach 65 and Shangjiu!"

"Cai, wonderful!" Shi Yuangong clapped his hands and cheered.

Fu Xingzhong was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "The Ding hexagram can't be interpreted that way, otherwise wouldn't it be advising people to rebel?"

Ju Ming said: "The tripod is upside down, can the host and guest change their positions?"

Bai Qi sat next to him and couldn't understand because he hadn't studied the "Book of Changes" yet.

Ninety-two of the Ding hexagram, the tripod is filled with food, which is beneficial to the monarch.

On the ninth day of the third year, the tripod's ears were broken and it was difficult to move. The king had no meat to eat.

On September 4th, the legs of the tripod were broken, and the prince's delicacies were spilled, leaving an ugly mess all over his body.

On June 5th, put new ears on the tripod. They are so golden and beautiful. Good luck and everything will go well.

On the ninth day, inlay the tripod with beautiful jade to make it even more beautiful. Good luck and good luck.

According to the traditional interpretation, the six lines of the Ding hexagram all focus on the king, representing a top-down innovation.

Ju Ming insists on saying that the last two lines have changed subject and object. Xin'er and Meiyu are both achievements after the establishment of the new dynasty.

Zhu Ming stood up and patted Fu Xingzhong on the shoulder: "You know very well whether the Song Dynasty has reached a point where it cannot be destroyed or established. Go back and read the "Book of Changes" carefully. In fact, from another angle, the "Book of Changes" can also be interpreted. We will do it tomorrow.

Attack the city. If the officers and soldiers still dare not come to rob the camp tonight, it means that the city has completely lost its fighting spirit."
