After reading the ordnance and sitting down again, Pei Mao's attitude changed significantly.
"Your Majesty just said that inner self-containedness is civilized, does it mean to educate?"
Liu Xie asked back: "Do you think it's feasible?"
Pei Mao said with gaze: "It is feasible to get the right person, but it is not feasible to get the right person."
"Please ask me to say more."
"Do your Majesty know the story of Fu Xie and Fu Nanrong?"
When Liu Xie heard this name, he understood what Pei Mao meant.
But he didn't say that, and asked Pei Mao politely.
First, his understanding of Fu Xie comes from history, which may not be a fact. Second, Pei Mao took the initiative to make suggestions, so he naturally wanted to make him speak up.
These scholars never talk about things, and most of them have some entitlements. Only by listening to him and then thinking about it repeatedly can they figure out what he really wants to say.
Pei Mao took a sip of water and began to tell the story of Fu Xie.
Fu Xie was from the northern region and the descendant of the famous minister Fu Jiezi.
He was both civil and military, and was appointed as the Grand Marshal Liu Kuan. Later, he followed Huangfu Song to defeat the Yellow Turban and was appointed as the counselor.
Han Sui, Bian Zhang raised an uprising, Liangzhou was uneasy, and the proposal to abandon Liang was revived. Fu Xie openly refuted Situ Cui Lie in the court, and tried to prove that Liangzhou could not be abandoned, and his reputation was great, and all officials respected it.
Later, because of offending the eunuch Zhao Zhong, Fu Xie was appointed as the prefect of Hanyang.
Hanyang is the Tianshui County of Liangzhou, which is a place where the Han and Qiang live together.
Fu Xielin County has been deeply trusted by the Han and Qiang County for several years, and many rebel Qiang people have surrendered. Fu Xie has been farming in Hanyang and resettled the surrendered people. The situation in Hanyang has improved rapidly.
But Liangzhou Geng Bi was a greedy and incompetent person. Seeing that the situation was getting better, he valued Chengqiu in the name of conquering the rebels and exploited the people. The army mutiny, Geng Bi, Cheng Qiu and others died
It's right.
The rebels immediately surrounded Hanyang.
There were thousands of Xiongnu people from the northern part of the rebels. They admired Fu Xie for being a human being and asked Fu Xie to surrender from the city and swear to ensure the safety of Fu Xie and his son, but Fu Xie refused.
Fu Xie died for his country.
"The Qiang and Hu are not unfaithful and righteous, but are just living a difficult life and are vulgar and unliterate. If you can be kind and compassionate, you will regard it as your parents. If you exploit it with greed and turbidity, you will regard it as an enemy. Therefore, if you control the Qiang and Hu, you must be both civil and military, and both kindness and power.
, this is not the case that we cannot be at peace.”
Pei Mao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder.
"Shandong scholars and officials are good at sitting and discussing the truth, and are short of holding swords and straddling horses. If they have nothing to do, they will spit out lotus flowers, consume money and food, and if they have something to do, they will be helpless and panic. What's more, they are like despicable people, who are insatiable. They don't care whether Liangzhou is not at all.
Stable, just want to fill his personal pockets, and as soon as his term of office comes, he will be transferred to his post."
Liu Xie raised his hand and signaled Pei Mao not to be too excited.
Let’s talk about it further, I guess I’m going to scold the late emperor for favoring eunuchs.
"If you are very wise, those who are in the border counties must be both civil and military, and they must be both civil and military. A pedantic and unrestrained person will only harm others and themselves and delay national affairs."
"Your Majesty is wise." Pei Mao was satisfied.
Although the emperor was young, he was very smart and understood what he meant at first.
The Guandong scholars and officials only knew how to abandon Liang, so how could they defend the border? The situation of Liang was so fragile that it had a great relationship with the Shandong scholars and officials.
"Let me, please follow me for a while." Liu Xie sent an invitation to Pei Mao.
Although Pei Mao's official position was not very big, he had a great influence in Hedong. Leaving him in Hedong would have had too much interference with Xun Yu.
"I dare not obey orders." Pei Mao was in the middle of his heart and bowed to accept the order.
Liu Xie once again took out Yang Biao's memorial. "If you add this plan, please speak out for it bluntly."
Pei Mao thought for a while. "All the officials are famous ministers, and I dare not argue about their plans. Although, as a native of Hedong, I have a little knowledge of the affairs of Hedong, and I have a few shallow statements, so I dare to ask Your Majesty for yourselves.
Consider it.”
Liu Xie nodded. "Whether it is feasible, it cares about interests, not about official titles and titles. Please give me advice."
Pei Mao raised two fingers. "First, these tens of thousands of military farming soldiers belong to the court, or to the county? Second, the military farming soldiers farming and farming for themselves, who will support the court? Where did Your Majesty’s food and clothing, and the salaries of all officials come from?
”
Liu Xie laughed silently.
He considered these two issues when he received the memorial, and now they have been raised by Pei Mao again.
It’s not that he and Pei Mao are so skillful, even surpassing Yang Biao, Xun Yu and others, but that Yang Biao, Xun Yu deliberately avoided this issue.
According to common sense, the military farming soldiers in Hedong County were naturally controlled by the Hedong Prefect. However, the court is also in Hedong, and the court also has reasons to control this power.
The memorial was signed by Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi. They were not good at taking the initiative to demand military power, nor were they good at the Hedong prefect directly taking the military power, so they skipped it and handed over this issue to the emperor to decide, so they would not have any more.
Suspect.
As for the issue of offering to the court, it is actually not complicated.
There is salt and iron in Hedong. As long as it is managed properly, it is basically sufficient to support the current imperial court, but it is impossible to have enough to survive.
"Can you have a solution?"
Pei Mao had almost no hesitation. "The major affairs of the country are rituals and military affairs. Military power is the foundation of the emperor's establishment and should not be with others. Your Majesty is in Hedong and will return to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not in Hedong, so he should be given the general."
Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction.
Pei Mao made such an opinion, which shows that he made up his mind to tie Pei to his chariot.
Fighting for military power is the wish of the literati and officials in the foreign dynasty, and they paid a bloody price for it. Dou Wu and He Jin were the two generals who were closest to their goal, but they still missed it.
That's why Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui were so anxious about the Taiwei's command.
As a member of the scholar-official, Pei Mao bluntly stated that the emperor should take charge of the army. Although the monk's order belongs to the inner court, it is an important choice to show loyalty.
Officials from the inner dynasty can be converted to the outer dynasty at any time, but the identity of the literati will not change slightly.
He did this as an enemy of the entire scholar-official class.
This sacrifice is not small.
"How should the court provide support to solve it?"
Pei Mao smiled. "Your Majesty shares the joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers, and eats the same food without being a double meal. If you don't pay more than the seat, how much money can you have? The Master is in trouble with Chen Cai and does not forget the etiquette and music. All the officials are moral gentlemen, and they are frugal for the sake of the kingly way.
What's wrong with a few years?"
Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.
When later historical books mention the collapse of the dynasty, they will attribute the responsibility to the overbearing emperor.
This is true for Jie and Zhou, and so is Qin Shihuang and Sui Yang.
However, few people mentioned the corruption of the entire bureaucratic class.
Even if it is mentioned, it is still written in a stroke and hidden between the lines.
But no matter how luxurious the emperor is, his wasted finances are insignificant compared to the entire bureaucratic class.
As for the later Han Dynasty, it was said that the two emperors Huan Ling were incompetent and incompetent, and they sold official positions and titles. Especially when Emperor Ling of Han built Wanjin Hall, no one said that ministers like Yuan were not inferior to those of the court, and even more so.
Liu Xie was so frugal and suffering, although it was because of his true poverty, he also wanted to compete with the ministers.
Isn’t it just a frugality? I can’t help it when I see who can’t help it first.
Now, Pei Mao has also proposed this point, which can be said to be a different end.
Liu Xie pointed at Pei Mao and pointed at himself.
