The four hundred and eighteenth chapter is generous
"If you practice in the Ming Dynasty, you will be well-known in the court, and you will be rewarded with honors. You will be generous to your friends, old friends, and officials. At that time, people who belonged to their elders thought they had the power of the prime minister."
Zhou Yu's views are the same as those of Xun You, Fazheng and others. He also disagrees with attacking Han Sui at this moment. His logic is clear and he speaks from the perspective of Han Sui's current strength: "Last year, drought locusts invaded Guanzhong.
The drought spread across the northwest, but its origin is unknown; tracing back to the locust swarm, it is clear that it came from Yongliang, and it must have flourished in Liangzhou. Han Sui and his generals, as well as the Qiang and Di tribes, were not engaged in production and did not know how to farm mulberry trees.
They make a living by raiding nomads, and there is a slight drought this year. How can their warehouses be full? From the humble opinion of the humble minister, Han Sui has been repeatedly obedient to the court recently, just to ask for favors, and he does not dare to have different intentions. This is one of the reasons.
.”
Qiu Xing had a strong temper. He saw the right opportunity and immediately responded: "I second the proposal!"
This sound frightened the shooter closest to him so much that he couldn't help but glance at him and complained in his heart that the other party was too rude. The emperor's edict was directed at Zhou Yu. Even Xun Jun didn't say a word. You interrupted for no reason.
What are you talking about? He was indeed born into a wealthy family. Although he was one of the few powerful people left in Hedong, he was not as famous as the Pei family and the Wei family.
Xun You's expression didn't change at all. He didn't seem to think that this was a very rude move. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was watching. Fazheng looked at Qiu Xing with a sneer. They were both from the Huangmen.
The minister has a similar family background, but Qiu Xing is generous and generous, and does not stick to trivial matters. He often offends people without knowing it. Fa Zheng also has a temper that will retaliate, so the two of them often get along with each other. Now seeing the other party interrupting hastily,
He still stole Zhou Yu's limelight, and he couldn't help but feel gloating in his heart. After all, Zhou Yu's position in the emperor's heart was different from others. If he hadn't deliberately wanted to give Zhou Yu a chance to show up and express himself, how could the emperor let Xun You and those around him go?
The counselor didn't say anything, but summoned a prince-in-law to ask for advice?
Under this situation, the others, such as Deng Chang, who had not yet received the formal edict and was still the minister of Huangmen, and Zhong Ji, remained silent and had no intention of speaking out for Qiu Xing. After all, they had a close relationship with Qiu Xing.
Our relationship is just average, and we don’t want to be troublesome, let alone mess up the situation at this time.
"Do you second the proposal?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, emphasized his tone, and said: "If you only say the word 'second to the proposal', you are just agreeing with me. You are a person who doesn't know what to do. There is no place for you among the ministers."
Qiu Xing's heart suddenly sank, and he was about to open his mouth to explain, but saw the emperor change the topic and said with a smile: "But I know your character well, and I know that you must be unable to hold back, and you have other excuses for wanting to get married?
"
Qiu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "Wei Wei! I really have something to say in my heart. If I don't say it, I won't be depressed inside, but I will spit it out soon."
Zhou Yu glanced at Qiu Xing with a calm expression. Last year, he and Qiu Xing were ordered to inspect Yongliang. The other party was quite courageous and brave, which impressed Zhou Yu's temperament. Because they also experienced the inspection of Yongliang at the same time, the two of them faced Song Dynasty directly.
The experiences of Jian, Han Sui, etc. can be discussed in private. Zhou Yu is also a person who is familiar with Qiu Xing's talent, and the other party is also a brave and resourceful person. He had conquered the cavalry general Huangfu Song a few years ago.
Hedong Baibo Huangjin has made great contributions, but unfortunately he has never received much attention in this court full of talents. Seeing the other party interjecting at this moment, Zhou Yu not only did not feel dissatisfied, but was curious about what the other party would say.
How will the insight arouse the appreciation of the emperor?
The emperor had been observing Zhou Yu's expression, and he also had a suspicion in his mind. Qiu Xing may have never been heard of in later generations, but Qiu Jian, one of the three rebels in Huainan, is famous. There are not many people with the surname Qiu in the world, so it is difficult to say that they are not related to each other.
In addition, he appointed Qiu Xing mainly for the purpose of winning over the scholars in Hedong, and sent him to accompany Zhou Yu to inspect Yongzhou. He just wanted him to accompany him as a guard.
However, Qiu Xing was a low-key person and was not shy about his work. These advantages and traits were gradually noticed by the emperor. However, the other party may not dare to express himself actively because of Hedong's powerful experience, which did not satisfy the emperor.
In order to temper the other party, the emperor had good intentions. Today, Qiu Xing finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. The emperor was happy in his heart: "But it doesn't matter."
"I inspected Yongliang and observed the stability. I found that the counties in Longxi are poor in land. In recent years, there has been frequent water shortages and droughts, and the common people are in poverty. Han Sui and others are not engaged in farming and mulberry. In two or three years, they can still contribute to the tribe, and the proceeds from many years of plundering can support the military. Now
We will be unable to make progress." After receiving the permission, Qiu Xing perked up and said boldly: "In my opinion, if one or two good generals are selected to guard Hanyang and stabilize the counties in Longxi, they will not dare to invade Guanzhong."
The emperor nodded and looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu understood and said: "Your Majesty has already decided on the strategy for the Eastern Expedition next year. If you rashly change the agreement and attack Han Sui in the west, it will be without a name. It will also make people think that the court is incompetent in decision-making."
Acting based on final conclusions is a sign of poor planning. Focusing on one thing and losing the other because of small things and losing big things is not the wisdom of a wise king. Since Han Sui is a trapped beast and is in a cramped place, he should leave it alone and go all out to deal with Guandong. This is the second one.
also."
"Well..." The emperor pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Xun You softly: "If we were to suppress Yongliang, who would be worthy of the task?"
Xun You lowered his eyelids and replied without thinking: "Zhong Yao, the governor of Yongzhou, is an open-minded and hard-working man, so that the court will not have to worry about going west." Then he mentioned it impartially: "The governor of Hanyang Shejian, Anji
General Zhang Ji, Colonel Yang Ru, who protects the Qiang, and others are both brave and knowledgeable and can be deputy subordinates."
The emperor seemed to hesitate and asked, "How does Zhang Ji use his troops?"
Xun You knew that the emperor thought that Zhong Yao was ignorant of military affairs and wanted to rely on Zhang Ji, so he replied calmly: "Zhang Ji was once a general under Dong Zhuo. Although he is not as good at fighting as Li, Guo Si, and Fan Chou, I haven't heard that there is anything surprising about it."
, but it can still be used for stability."
Zhang Ji was unknown and had no prestige when he was under Dong Zhuo's account. What he is today is all due to speculation. If he were given full power to guard one side, he would not be able to convince the chiefs of Yongzhou counties. Zhong Yao, on the other hand, relied on his reputation and talents.
He was also good at dancing and was good at maintaining relationships among people. He won the support of Guo Gong, the prefect of Anding, Liu Yao, the prefect of Longxi, and others.
The emperor was awakened by Xun You's words, and he also thought about Zhong Yao's history of guarding Guanzhong for Cao Cao and restraining the generals. It can be seen that the other party's ability in this regard is indeed outstanding. Thinking like this, the emperor made up his mind: "Add Zhong Yao
General Jianwei, on holiday, supervises the generals of Yongzhou."
After saying that, the emperor looked at Qiu Xing again and said: "Qiu Xing is courageous and has made many achievements. He can be appointed as the magistrate of Wuwei County and participate in the military affairs of the county."
Qiu Xing looked excited, his young face turned red, and he said angrily, with the slightest tremor in his tone: "I promise, I will honor my orders!"
The emperor took a few steps forward, reached out and patted Qiu Xing's strong shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Do you know how long I have been waiting for your words? I thought you would always be cautious and modest.
It’s too much.”
Qiu Xing was struck by the emperor's words and was so excited that he trembled all over and found it difficult to speak.
Zhou Yu was also sincerely happy when he saw that the people he met had finally begun to be used in the emperor's favor. When others saw it, they felt that Zhou Yu was broad-minded and kind. Afterwards, both the government and the public praised Zhou Yu's reputation for generosity and showed no regard for his appointment as a minister.
Objection, but no one remembers how much courage and breakthrough Qiu Xing took in order to leap into the emperor's eyes.
